He Shanshan had always listened to her mother. She was like many typical girls in China, a 'daughter of a well-bred family'.
She studied hard since she was young and did not have much contact with the outside world. Most of the time, she interacted with her classmates. Under the education of her parents, she kept a distance from boys. She only fell in love when she was in university. However, she broke up very quickly. Or rather, it was not a relationship at all. It was just unrequited love. Then, she met Li Can in university and the two became a couple.
Now that she had graduated and was about to enter society, she did not know how to deal with this situation. Moreover, she felt that what her parents said made sense. In addition, there were many women who flaunted their wealth on the Internet and many rich daughters-in-law. She felt that if she wanted to get married, she should have a good foundation. Otherwise, how could she get married?
For example, a house was a must, but a car was not that expensive. They also needed to have a certain amount of financial conditions.
Li Can was obviously not satisfied. As a coastal city, A City was very prosperous. The prices of goods were very high, and the land price was also very expensive. He could not afford it.
Li Can had been trying to think of a way, but Mother He was being aggressive.
He Shanshan did not expect that her mother would come to the hospital to stop her boyfriend from getting married. Her boyfriend was already in the hospital with a mild concussion. She was not here to visit him, but to stop them from getting married. Moreover, her words were so mean.
"Mom, what are you doing? Don't meddle in my affairs.”He Shanshan was very sad." Little Can is already like this. Why are you still talking about this?”
He Shanshan's mother was stunned. She didn't expect her daughter to say such a thing. However, she had always been the head of the family and even Father He listened to her. He Shanshan's actions only made her even angrier.
"Alright, you're not even married yet, and you're already siding with an outsider. You're going against the heavens!”Mother He put her hands on her waist. She did not care that they were in the hospital anymore and raised her voice." What can a poor soldier give you? What can you rely on in the future? Tell me, what can he do?"”
"You don't have money, a house, or a car. You're just a soldier. How can you support yourself?”Mother He cursed.
The hospital was a crowded place. People came and went. Mother He had just entered and hadn't closed the door. Coupled with her loud voice, she immediately attracted the attention of many people. Many people followed her and surrounded the door, pointing and gossiping. Everyone was sensible and immediately understood what was going on.
Many people supported his mother-in-law's idea. Nowadays, people's attitudes were changing. They laughed at the poor but not the prostitutes. The mistresses were rampant. They worshiped foreign things. In the end, they all valued money. This was a society of money.
"A poor soldier wants to marry a wife?”
"Son, as you can see, I'm telling you, you should go to university obediently. Don't go and join the army like someone else. You can't even get a wife!”
Li Can's expression became uglier and uglier. He had never expected such a thing to happen. Mother He had gone too far. In the beginning, he thought that she was an elder and his girlfriend's mother. No matter what, as a junior, he had to be more respectful. However, Mother He had gone too far.
He looked down on people one after another, and in the end, he even cursed and looked down on soldiers. This made Li Can unable to tolerate it.
"Auntie, what's wrong with being a soldier? If there weren't any soldiers, would you be able to see a doctor here safely? Look at how chaotic East Asia and Africa are. If there were no soldiers, what would our country be like?”
Li Can stood up and roared angrily, disregarding the injuries on his body.
He pointed at the person next to him." Society has changed, but we have to be respected no matter what. What's so good about being rich? Can't soldiers have money? Who said that soldiers only know how to fight?"
Do kings and generals have descendants?
From a historical perspective, there were many talents in the army. In times of chaos, there would always be generals to protect the peace and the country.
In today's society, China was growing stronger day by day, and its international status was rising. In the end, it was because of the increase in military strength. When one's fists became bigger, their enemies would naturally be afraid.
So what if they had money? How many countries in the Middle East had a lot of money and resources? Weren't they robbed? The country was destroyed!
Besides, who said that soldiers were useless and could only be soldiers? In the modern military construction, all kinds of military talents emerged one after another. The country's various strategic weapons were developed, and the replacement was very fast. A large part of it was played by soldiers.
Mrs. He was taken aback and her expression turned ugly. She didn't think that what Li Can said made sense, but with so many people around, she didn't dare to openly criticize the soldiers, so she said sarcastically," Fine, you want to marry my daughter and you think that the army will develop. Then do it. When you come back as a general, your daughter will marry you!"”
He Shanshan's face was flushed red and she felt her cheeks burning.
A general was at least a major general. In other regions, he would be the commander of a province's military region, equivalent to a vice-minister level leader or a leader of the provincial government. Who could do that? How many generals were there in the country? This was not as simple as making things difficult for him.
Besides, if Li Can really becomes a general one day, will he still fancy your daughter?
Li Can knew what Mother He meant, but he would never give up. One was his girlfriend, and the other was his dream. He wanted to prove that there was progress in the military. Soldiers were the pillars of the country, and soldiers were not poor soldiers in the eyes of the common people.
"Auntie, this is too difficult for me. Why don't we change the condition? I'll join the army. When I become an officer, I'll marry Shanshan!”
There were many ranks in the army, and they were also more complicated. However, the general term for military officers referred to platoon leaders and above, and platoon leaders were at least second lieutenants. Becoming a second lieutenant wasn't a low position. Li Can immediately set himself a huge goal.
He wanted to realize his dream and prove to others that a soldier was not bad!
Besides, he looked down on his mother-in-law. If he didn't set his sights higher, his mother-in-law would look down on him even if he married He Shanshan.
He, Li Can, was a boy and a man. In the future, he would make Mother He marry He Shanshan willingly!
"Alright, it's settled then!"
Mother He agreed immediately. He Shanshan wanted to say something but was stopped by Mother He.
Mrs. He's thoughts were simple, but she agreed to stop He Shanshan from dating Li Can. Nowadays, men and women were more open-minded. Who knew when their daughter would get pregnant? What if she acted first and reported later and gave birth to a grandson? What would she do?
He would first separate the two of them and then find a good family for his daughter. He would mobilize his friends to see if there were any rich and powerful families to marry his daughter off.
As for Li Can, who cared?
A poor soldier!
Mother He would not change her mind so easily. However, she was not young anymore. She had plenty of ways!
Pa, pa, pa!
At this moment, the sound of clapping came from the door, immediately attracting everyone's attention. When they turned around, they saw two commanders in green. Two soldiers were standing at the door, and one of them was clapping!
