Chu Xiang had no feelings for the Chu family, and Yin Xu naturally had no good feelings for them either. He really didn't want to get involved in the Chu family's affairs. However, the captain had helped them in the past, and the money was the hard-earned money of the villagers. Yin Xu thought about it and decided to take care of it.
Of course, he wouldn't come forward to take care of it himself, so he didn't want to get involved with the Chu family. He directly called the police.
Ever since he contacted the regiment commander, the regiment commander had contacted his acquaintances in the capital and asked them to help take care of Yin Xu's family. This acquaintance was the director of the Public Security Bureau.
Yin Xu only mentioned such a small matter to the director's secretary.
Chu Lan arrived in the capital full of expectations for a good life. As soon as she got off the train, she was arrested by the police. She turned pale with fright and struggled violently, but she was still detained at the police station.
She was suspected of swindling money from the villagers. There was evidence and she was arrested. Even if she refused to admit it, more than a dozen villagers in the village were clamoring for justice. After Chu Lan was locked up, she was directly sent back to the village. Naturally, the money on her was confiscated and transferred to the captain.
Chu Lan's trip to the capital was simply a one-day trip, and it was a one-day trip to prison. She was muddle-headed when she returned to the village.
When she returned to the village, more than a dozen people who had been swindled by her blocked the entrance of the village and threw rotten leaves and dung balls at her. There was even an agitated old lady who splashed swill on her!
Chu Lan screamed and covered her face. Chu Lan's mother rushed forward to block them, but she couldn't. The mother and daughter were both drenched.
Everyone scolded her harshly. She had swindled so much money that the villagers were furious. Chu Lan knew the consequences of being convicted, so she refused to admit it. She said that she went to the capital to buy goods and didn't swindle any money.
However, there were two witnesses who confirmed that she had secretly avoided all the Raos when she left. At that time, they didn't know that she had taken the Raos' money. Otherwise, they would have stopped her at that time.
There were witnesses and evidence. In addition, more than a dozen villagers who had been swindled refused to reconcile. They all accused Chu Lan of swindling. Chu Lan's crime was quickly confirmed, and she was directly locked up in prison!
No matter how much Chu Lan knew that she was unlucky, she didn't expect that she would be so unlucky! She was a free person in her previous life, but now she was a prisoner! She was unwilling to give up, but all her efforts were in vain. She could only stay in the prison, feeling more and more despair.
Chu Lan's incident caused a huge uproar in the village. Since the liberation of their village, there had never been such a bad person. Nowadays, there was no need to talk about family structure, but people's thinking had not changed. If there was a criminal in the family, then her whole family would be looked down upon.
First, the Chu family was ungrateful and didn't care about their benefactor. Then, they favored boys over girls and chased their granddaughter out of the house. Then, they shamelessly wanted to take advantage of the Yin family. They were already known in the village. Now that the Chu Lan incident was exposed, they couldn't even raise their heads. They were despised by the entire village and didn't even dare to leave their homes.
Chu Xiang was the only one in the entire Chu clan who was spared. Although she had already severed all ties with the Chu clan, she would still be implicated when her cousin committed a crime.
But the key point was that it was the brigade leader who asked Yin Xu to take back Chu Lan!
Previously, Yin Xu had said many times in public that Chu Xiang and the Chu clan had nothing to do with each other. Chu Xiang also said that she wouldn't have any dealings with the Chu clan. Now that Yin Xu helped the villagers get their money back and brought Chu Lan to justice, Chu Xiang didn't show any favoritism at all. It was obvious that she placed righteousness before family. This made everyone feel extremely grateful to Yin Xu and Chu Xiang.
Moreover, everyone discovered a very shocking thing through this incident. Yin Xu, who had left their village, was actually able to get Chu Lan arrested and sent back as soon as she got out of the car?
That was the capital! None of the villagers had ever left the provincial capital, let alone the capital. In their eyes, this place was like a divine altar. Yin Xu actually completed the task that the brigade leader asked of him. This was simply beyond their imagination. Now, Yin Xu was an important figure in their hearts. He was a perfect match for Chu Xiang, who had been admitted to the military academy. They were a pair of golden phoenixes that would bring glory to their ancestors!
This contrast highlighted Chu Lan's viciousness even more. The rumor of a lucky star and a jinx was once again dug up. However, this time, everyone was completely sure that Chu Xiang was the lucky star, while Chu Lan was the jinx that everyone feared!
They weren't the only ones who thought this way. Even the Chu clan thought this way. Especially Old Madam Chu. She cried and cursed endlessly at home. Chu Lan's parents were also implicated and became the target of the entire family's condemnation.
In the family, Chu Weiguo and Li Yuezhen were the angriest. Chu Xiang was their biological daughter! Chu Xiang was so promising. How glorious would it be to be an officer after being admitted to the military academy? In the past, they didn't take this too seriously because they valued boys over girls. However, things were different when they found out that Yin Xu was also so promising. If it weren't for the jinx, wouldn't they be able to enjoy life in the capital now?!
The most important thing was that after Chu Lan's accident, the only child left in the family was Chu Xin. Chu Xin would be taking the college entrance examination in a year. If she didn't pass with poor grades, she would have to marry a wife. Now that her reputation was completely ruined by Chu Lan, how could Chu Xin have a good future? No one wanted her to find a job.
Back then, when Chu Lan said that she could help Chu Xin by marrying Song Yang to the provincial capital, they also believed it and agreed to give up Chu Xiang. In the end? They didn't get any benefits and even lost their own lives. They also cut off Chu Xiang's opportunity to enjoy life. They were so angry that they were about to die!
Old Madam Chu said that the Chu family had become like this because of Chu Lan. She even said that it was Chu Lan's fault that they didn't have a son. In just a few months, Chu Lan had changed from the Chu family's hope to the most hated sinner in the Chu family.
The Chu family wasn't willing to have nothing to do with Chu Xiang and Yin Xu. They begged the brigade leader to help them contact Yin Xu. Of course, the brigade leader couldn't help them. However, Old Madam Chu was ruthless and said that she wanted to kill herself in front of his house. He could only try to call Yin Xu.
When he found out that Yin Xu and Chu Xiang had both gone to the army, he was really relieved. He wasn't afraid of the Chu family pestering him anymore. He was also sincerely happy for them. Being a soldier was a great honor. He really hoped that they would achieve something in the army.
Old Madam Chu's pestering only resulted in this result. She wanted to go to the capital to find Yang Yuelan. However, the Chu family really didn't have any money. When Chu Lan left the village, the Chu family's expenses were all paid for by them. When it came to refunds to the villagers, the Chu family didn't have a share. The Chu family was so poor that they couldn't even afford to go to the capital. Moreover, when the brigade leader found out that Yang Yuelan lived alone and Yin Qiuwen only went home on weekends, he refused to help the monks find out the Yin family's address.
The Chu family was at their wit's end. Only then did they slowly stop. However, when they pestered the brigade leader, they all neglected Chu Xin. Chu Xin suddenly became sensitive. He was ridiculed and despised at school. When he returned to the village, he was pointed at. No one was willing to get close to him, as if he had some kind of infectious disease. Even the family members who doted on him the most were thinking about how to find Chu Xiang and completely ignored him.
He had never been ignored like this since he was young, and he had never been laughed at by so many people. His grades plummeted. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that he was at the bottom of the class. He often skipped classes to fool around outside. Soon, he learned to smoke, drink, and fight. While the Chu family was still vexed over Chu Xiang's return, Chu Xin was already slowly walking down the wrong path.
These things were passed on to the skinny monkey from his family members. Naturally, Chu Xiang also knew about it. As long as the Chu family didn't come to her, it had nothing to do with her. She just treated it as a joke.
She had now successfully entered Yin Xu's army. She was specially recruited and could be considered a "temporary worker". Yin Xu fully recommended and vouched for her in front of the brigade leader. Only then did the brigade leader make an exception and allow her to participate in the assessment in the army.
Yin Xu brought her here to join the special operations team so that she could go on missions with him. Of course, such an important position couldn't be given to an outsider.
After Chu Xiang arrived at the army, the brigade leader personally supervised the assessment. The reserve members of this team were the best of the best. They were carefully selected from the army. In order to convince the other soldiers, the brigade leader directly asked all the soldiers to come and watch. It was the most rigorous assessment.
However, this was normal. If not, even if he was satisfied with Chu Xiang, the army wouldn't accept Chu Xiang. As the saying goes, "If you're a mule or a horse, come out for a ride." If you want to have special privileges, you have to be prepared to be made difficult. This was only fair.
The skinny monkey didn't return to the army. Li Dong applied to come back early to accompany Yin Xu and Chu Xiang back to the army. After knowing the brigade leader's arrangement, Li Dong felt a little embarrassed. After all, he was the one who pulled the strings. Now that Chu Xiang was being made difficult, he felt that he had to take some responsibility.
He found Yin Xu and Chu Xiang. "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry. Although the brigade leader's temper is usually bad, he doesn't like to make things difficult for people. I didn't expect … You, you just joined the army not long ago and haven't learned much. This assessment is too difficult for you. I'll ask the brigade leader again."
Chu Xiang smiled. "Thank you, instructor. But it's okay. I like this assessment very much. There's not much time. I don't have time to slowly prove my strength to everyone. This is the best way. I don't think he made things difficult for me. I think the brigade leader has helped me a lot. "
The brigade leader happened to come to see Yin Xu and heard this sentence at the door. He entered the door with his hands behind his back and looked at Chu Xiang. He nodded with satisfaction. "Comrade Chu has a very high ideological awareness. It's good that she has this idea. Li, you should learn more from Chu. Why did she become so impatient after going to school? My decision is to be responsible for the mission, for the army, and for Chu's life. Do you understand? Do you think any random person can do it? If it weren't for you and Yin Xu, Chu wouldn't even be able to touch our door. You should be content! "
Chu Xiang pulled out two stools for them. She glanced at Yin Xu, and Yin Xu went to make tea for the two of them.
The brigade leader laughed and joked. "It's obvious who's in charge of your family. Yin Xu, you're actually a rake!"
Yin Xu sat down calmly. "Same here."
This time it was Li Dong's turn to laugh. The brigade leader snorted and took a sip of tea. He looked at Yin Xu and Chu Xiang's expressions and said, "You two can sit still. The assessment will start in 20 minutes. You're not nervous at all. Why are you so confident?"
Yin Xu said casually, "If I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have recommended her to you. If I could only bring one person with me for this mission, I would choose Chu Xiang without hesitation. She's very strong. Don't look at her. I'm afraid you'll make a fool of yourself. "
"Oh? So strong? She makes you sound like a soldier. If you exaggerate, I'll punish you too. " The brigade leader put down the teacup and stood up. He tidied his clothes and said, "Let's go. Let me see how strong your wife is."
