Bab 2021: In Time

She could sacrifice her life for the country and her people, but she would not let her daughter do the same.

Shi Qing laughed. "Sister Zhai Hua, it looks like you aren't even as open-minded as the old chief and auntie. At that time, both you and Brother Zhai wanted to enter the military and neither of them tried to stop you. Parents are all the same." She had refused to get married and had only wanted to stay in the military. The only reason her mother had disagreed was that she had been worried that life in the military would be too tough and dangerous. She might even lose her life at any time.

Jiajia had it better than her. At that time, she had no other choice. If she had not entered the military, the Feng family would have had all control over her life. Jiajia did not need to enter the military. Even if she did not become a soldier, she could still have the choice of having a better life. Jiajia was truly a fortunate child.
