Chapter 87 Her Lies Were Too Clumsy

"Boss Zhong? What are you doing?"

Xia Zhi looked at Zhong Shannan, who was pulling her, with a puzzled expression.

Zhong Shannan looked at her with a bitter expression, "Xia Nuwa, your sister is too unreasonable. Her medicine is of low quality and has no medicinal value, but she insists that I sell it to her at the price I would have sold it to you the other day."

"Isn't this just asking me to give them money?"

"Sister? My parents are dead, where would I get a sister?"

Upon hearing her words, Zhong Shannan immediately stopped complaining. "No younger sister?"
"Well, the woman inside said she's your sister!"

After saying this, Zhong Shannan felt annoyed. Could it be that he had been deceived?

Xia Zhi looked inside with suspicion, only to see Hao Liping with evasive eyes, and immediately sneered.

They're shameless, profiting off her name.

Hao Liping hadn't expected to run into Xia Zhi here so coincidentally, and for a moment she couldn't lift her head.

"Sister, sister," Hao Liping called out dryly.

Xia Zhi rolled her eyes speechlessly, then looked at Zhong Shannan, "Boss Zhong, my parents only have one child, I don't have a sister. She's next door, we know each other but we're not close."

She then explained why Hao Liping had also gone up the mountain to look for Ganoderma lucidum; it turned out that Hao Liping had witnessed what happened that day.

Zhong Shannan's face instantly darkened. "Oh, so that's how it is. You can leave now, girl. We at the pharmacy won't dare to take any more girls you hire in the future."

Hao Liping's face turned pale instantly. She glared at Xia Zhi's retreating figure with resentment. Xia Zhi was truly ruthless; she must have done it on purpose.

Now that's bad, the pharmacies won't take her medicine, so even if she finds it, she won't have anywhere to sell it.

Hao Liping was kicked out by Zhong Shannan and walked around dejectedly, carrying the Ganoderma lucidum.

Xia Zhi returned the way she came, and when she saw someone selling piglets, she stopped and walked towards the woman.

"Oh, isn't this Xia? Want to buy piglets? Auntie will give you a discount."

Xia Zhi smiled sweetly, then shook her head.

"Auntie, how many pigs do you raise?"

Fan Yulian looked at her with a simple smile, "Not much, just an old sow, a breeding pig, and the piglets are all here."

Xia Zhi looked at the six or seven piglets, which were plump and white and looked very cute.

"Cough cough cough, Auntie, I came here to tell you that there might be a swine fever outbreak in a few days. I have some preventative medicine here, you can take it and deal with it."

Xia Zhi used her points to redeem some veterinary medicine.

"Oh? Well, okay, then, Auntie will accept it. Thank you, Xia." Fan Yulian accepted it with a pale face. If there really was a swine fever outbreak, it would be no different from taking her life.

I finally made a little money raising pigs, and I don't want to lose it all.

"Yes, Auntie, if anyone around here is raising them, you can let them know. It's good to take precautions if possible. Everyone works hard to earn money."

Fan Yulian nodded gratefully, "Okay, okay, then I'll thank you on everyone's behalf."

Fan Yulian looked at the large pile of medicine in her hand, turned around and looked around, and finally went next door to buy a chicken and stuffed it into her arms, "Xia, here, go back and nourish yourself with Battalion Commander Lu."

Xia Zhi was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, waving her hands frantically, "No, no need, Auntie, you keep it for yourself. I have things to do at home, so I'll go first."

She ran away as soon as she finished speaking.

She knew perfectly well that the things they gave them were always the best they had in their homes, things they wouldn't normally eat themselves, so how could she dare to accept them?

Fan Yulian watched Xia Zhi's retreating figure with a sigh, "She truly deserves to be Battalion Commander Lu's wife, she's wonderful." "That's right, she really brings honor to the family. I wish she were my child."

……

Xia Zhi rode her bicycle home, parked it, changed her clothes, and then took Lu Beiting to the mountain to look for the grave.

"Brother Ting, do you know what kind of people my parents are?" Xia Zhi asked Lu Beiting curiously as they walked by.

Lu Beiting pursed his lips. He knew a little about it, but not much.

"Dad was a hero. I heard he strapped himself with explosives and died with the enemy while covering the retreat of his troops. They never even found his body. Mom was also a female soldier in the unit, and I heard she was very capable too."

Xia Zhi's face turned pale upon hearing this, and she froze on the spot. Her parents were both soldiers, and her maternal grandfather was a traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
Her lies... were so clumsy.

"Then, what about my maternal grandfather?" Xia Zhi clenched her hands involuntarily, frowning as she tried to recall information about her family from the original owner's memories, but to no avail. Perhaps the original owner was too young when her family passed away and couldn't remember anything at all.

Her medical skills, fighting abilities, and...

Xia Zhi's breath hitched, and her body swayed slightly.

What has she done!
They thought they were disguising themselves well, but in reality, they were full of flaws.

Lu Beiting reached out to support her, pulling her into his arms and making her lean against him. "It's okay, everyone has their own secrets."

Xia Zhi felt the beating heart behind her, and her anxious heart gradually calmed down.

"So, Chief, Shen Hangzhi, Uncle Chen, you figured it out long ago, didn't you? But why didn't they say anything..."

At the time, she was relieved that they hadn't suspected anything, even though they knew perfectly well what was going on.

Looking at her pale face, Lu Beiting reached out and touched her face. He should have known he would frighten her; he shouldn't have told her.

Lu Beiting lowered his head to comfort her, "It's because your strength won them over."

Soldiers yearn for nothing more than an end to war and world peace; doctors yearn for the health of all people and an end to casualties.

As long as everyone shares the same goal, no one cares who you are.

Xia Zhi opened her mouth in surprise, then lowered her head. So that's how it is.

"Okay, there's no need to worry about these things. If you're still upset, you can yell at me to vent your anger."

Xia Zhi stepped out of his arms and continued walking forward. "No, I just... I just didn't expect it."

She wanted to explain, but didn't know how, and finally fell silent.

Lu Beiting didn't continue the topic and followed behind her, leaning on his cane.

After walking for a while, he stopped and sighed helplessly, "Xiaxia went the wrong way."

"Oh, I'm spacing out."

Xia Zhi scratched her head and spun around in place twice before finally finding her way in the right direction.

The two arrived at two small mounds. The stone tablets were inscribed with the names of martyrs Xia Zhendong and Su Yuhe, and above them were black and white photos of the two when they were young.

Xia Zhi trembled the moment she saw Xia Zhendong, tears streaming down her face. "Dad!"

She reached out and touched the person in the photo, her eyes filled with longing.

She never expected that the original owner's father looked exactly like her father, even down to the mole at the corner of his eye.

Her father died when she was ten years old, and the person in the photo looked exactly like the person in her memory.

Xia Zhi looked at Su Yuhe's photo. Did she look exactly like her mother who died in childbirth?
