Chapter 190 Sanya's Determination

Batian: Look, mother, this is the kingdom your son has built for you.

Pan Yingying stepped forward, pointed at the pheasant in the snow, and looked at Batian, "Is this for me?"

Batian nodded.

Since father is unreliable, it can only take care of mother by itself.

Honglian smiled and stepped forward to explain, "Master Batian went out early in the morning to catch them. We wanted to clean them up but he wouldn't let us, so we waited for the girl to come and see."

Batian gave Yu Chaosheng a look with pride and rubbed Pan Yingying's leg.

Receiving Fat Tiger's gaze, Yu Chaosheng rolled his eyes and didn't want to bother with this stupid tiger.

Pan Yingying touched Batian's head and said to Honglian, "Let's stew them all. We can't let my son down for his filial piety."

Honglian agreed with a smile, picked up the pheasant and went to the kitchen in the outer courtyard. This time, Batian did not stop her.

So at lunch, Pan Yingying drank the chicken soup that Batian gave her as a filial gift.

After Batian grunted and showed off a large bowl of meat, he took the initiative to run to find Honglian and Lumei to take a bath and brush their teeth. Then he went into Pan Yingying's room and jumped onto the kang.

Lying on the kang, it allowed Pan Yingying to take out hairpins from the space to dress it up and take pictures. It even took the initiative to pose, which made Pan Yingying laugh and kiss its head several times.

Yu Chaosheng, who was writing his serial novel nearby, curled his lips when he saw this. Pan Yingying had never been so enthusiastic towards him before.

After this battle to defend the city, the three major districts of Taoyuan City were obviously more united. Specifically, the submissions from the three major districts no longer criticized each other, but instead there appeared many excellent works praising everyone's unity in fighting the Tartars.

Liu Mingxuan had not returned from Wu'an Army yet, so the review task was temporarily handed over to Pan Lian by Yu Chaosheng.

Pan Lian is the top student in the class in academic performance, so Yu Chaosheng feels very confident in handing the case over to him.

……

……

San Ya went to the canteen to get food, and the aunt who served the food scooped an extra spoonful of stir-fried cabbage and meat into her plate.

"The city lord is considerate of us and has allocated 500 taels of silver to treat our Taoyuan female soldiers to meat for a month!" The aunt who was serving food saw that the half of San Ya's face that was exposed was full of confusion, so she explained to her with a smile.

San Ya nodded, thanked her in a low voice, and went to her seat with the tray.

This time she not only received a bonus for her head, but also received a medical subsidy of ten taels of silver.

But she didn't plan to spend this money recklessly, she planned to save it.

She had just finished her meal when someone came to call her and said someone was looking for her.

San Ya went to the gate of the military camp, and the person who came was indeed her sister Er Ya.

Erya was carrying a bag and a bamboo basket.

"I'm on a day off today, so I brought you something." Erya said in a low voice, not daring to look at Sanya's face.

The gauze on Sanya's face has been removed, and a long and hideous scar can be seen on her cheek.

She took the basket from Erya, spoke to the person at the door, registered the information, and led people into the military camp.

Family members' visiting time in the military camp cannot exceed two hours, and everyone has always been very conscious of this.

Back in the dormitory, everyone went to the training room for training. San Ya asked Er Ya to sit on her small bed and poured her a cup of hot water from the thermos on her small table.

Erya held the hot water and suddenly didn't know how to start.

Sanya didn't seem to notice her embarrassment, and uncovered the cloth covering the basket. Inside was a dozen boiled eggs and a few packages of cakes, all of which were Sanya's favorites.

Erya opened the bag she was carrying, inside were the cotton-padded jacket and cotton shoes that she and her elder sister had made for Sanya.

"Please try the size first. If it doesn't fit, I can alter it right away." Erya lowered her eyes and stared at Sanya's pants with a hole at the knee.

San Ya disagreed with her elder and second sisters buying things for her every time they received their wages.

"Second sister, you don't need to buy me anything. I have everything I need in the barracks. I even had an extra spoonful of meat today. Don't worry too much about me." San Ya took out two coins from her bosom and stuffed them into Er Ya's hand. "You can also go back and buy two pounds of meat to eat with Big Sister."

Erya refused to accept it, saying that this was the money that Sanya earned by disfiguring herself.

San Ya had to change her approach, "I want to eat the roast chicken from the restaurant on East Street. Bring me two when you come back next time."

Erya still refused to accept it. "If you want to eat it, I will buy it for you next time when I get paid. You don't have to pay for it yourself."

If her sister hadn't helped her, she might still be digging wild vegetables in the village.

San Ya frowned and said, "Second sister, you and eldest sister have to plan for the future."

Seeing that Erya still looked confused, Sanya sighed silently.

"Save up all the money and use it as your dowry. You know our family situation. You have to rely on yourself for everything." She said earnestly.

A'niang and little sister were brainwashed by grandma and refused to leave. They knew what grandma's plan was, which was to keep them so that she could control her and her two sisters in the future.

As long as my mother and younger sister stayed in that house, there was no need to worry that the three sisters would not take the money back.

Unfortunately, grandma underestimated the determination of the three sisters to break away from that home.

On the day they left, the sisters signed a letter of severance in front of the Taoyuan Army, which was giving them bonuses and prizes, and they never took a penny back after that.

A Niang asked people to pass on the message several times, and the implicit meaning of her words was that she and her younger sister could not survive at home, and that they could earn money now, so she asked them to help them out.

San Ya didn't give it herself, nor did she allow her eldest and second sisters to give it.

As far as she was concerned, they had completely misunderstood the relationship between their parents.

They always thought that their mother was being oppressed in that family, but they never imagined that she was enjoying it. Even though she had the opportunity to leave that family, she just refused to leave, saying that if she left, there would be no one to take care of their father.

What? Is that man disabled? The whole family is healthy, why does she have to be the only one to take care of him?
In short, San Ya can only respect and bless the choices made by A Niang and Xiao Mei.

Erya blushed and waved her hands, "What do you mean by dowry or not? It's still early."

I'm busy making money in the factory now, so I don't have the time to think about so many messy things.

She and her elder sister work meticulously, and the factory director recently raised their monthly wages, now they earn 600 wen a month. Even many men cannot compare to them.

Sanya shook her head and held Arya's hand. "It's getting late. I heard that one should start saving for a dowry from a young age." She paused and said, "I will also try my best to kill the enemy."

The only way for her to earn money now is to take heads. When she goes to the battlefield next time, she must kill more Tartars and strive to become a rich woman next time.

Erya pursed her lips and after a long time she said the words her elder sister asked her to bring.

"My eldest sister said that we should just let you go back. Fighting is too dangerous. You could lose your life at any time..."

She thought that San Ya wanted to stay in the military camp even though her face was injured like this, which showed that San Ya was determined to become a female soldier.

Sure enough, San Ya's performance was exactly the same as hers.

"No! I want to stay in the military camp." San Ya said firmly.
