“My little sister is frail. Going to the countryside for labor is such a hardship, so let me do it! You go with Mom to the residential compound and enjoy the good life!” Lin Muqiu shouted, clutching the Educated Youth Office’s registration form.
Lin Chuxia gripped the piece of fine cotton cloth in her hands, looked at her sister’s calculating face, and nodded. “Sure. I hope you shine on the front lines and accomplish great things.”
Reborn, her sister thought going to the countryside would let her get into college and become a tycoon, never realizing that it had all been bought with Lin Chuxia’s life. This time, Lin Chuxia promptly emptied the gold bars her scumbag father had hidden in the wall, took along her portable supply store, and followed her mother into the strictly regulated military residential compound after her remarriage.
Everyone in the compound said the Lin family’s unwanted tagalong would be kicked out sooner or later. But one dark and stormy night, the Army Commander Lu, always a strict stickler for the rules, cornered her beside the door of his jeep. His broad palm clasped her slender waist. “Selling fine cotton on the black market again? A military spouse broke the rules, so you’ll have to be confined. I’ll keep you under my personal watch, for the rest of your life.”
