Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1449: Chapter 848: Top-Grade Third Sister

”Does that mean Sister Zhu is saying Apo Sanmei is not a good person?” Ying Nuo followed up on Zhu Hongyu’s comment.

”Nuonuo, you’re playing the role of the straight man very well...” Luo Ye ruffled Ying Nuo’s hair and looked at Zhu Hongyu, ”Sister Zhu, please continue, we’ve got a straight man here, don’t keep us waiting, carry on with your story.”

”What’s there to say...” Zhu Hongyu smirked again, ”Just imagine it yourself.”

”That won’t do. People who are good are similar; they’re easy to talk to and considerate of others, but there’s so much variety to those who aren’t. How could one imagine that?” Ying Nuo poked Luo Ye with her finger, ”As compensation for leaving me behind, you must tell me the whole thing in detail, no exceptions!”

”Tsk tsk..., my sister-in-law’s acting all haughty.” Luo Ye spread his hands and looked at Zhu Hongyu, ”Since you’ve started the story, just tell it to my sister-in-law. That way, you won’t have to tell it again separately for the cow incident. Two birds with one stone, right?”

Zhu Hongyu pointed to the thermos: ”Pour me a glass of water.”

”No way!” Luo Ye shook his head, ”It’s not like you don’t have hands.”

”I do have hands, but since I’m doing the talking, naturally you should do the pouring.”

”But this conversation was your initiative. As someone responsible, you should see it through.”

Ying Nuo quickly sat up straight, observing the two of them, ”I wonder, with you two being like this... could you really lead a troop and command respect?”

”Of course!”

Both of them said in unison.

”I’m not so sure.” Ying Nuo shook her head, ”Seeing the two of you together, acting like kids, it seems hard to change these habits, right?”

Luo Ye laughed and explained, ”Your concern isn’t necessary. When it comes to business, we’re as precise as can be.”

”Indeed, if you’d seen us during a selection process, you wouldn’t doubt us like this. Good personal relationships make for great teamwork. Otherwise, why would I go to the ends of the earth to have her partner with me?”

Ying Nuo waved her hand: ”Alright, alright, let’s not get sidetracked. Tell us about Apo Sanmei first.”

Zhu Hongyu pointed to the cup.

Ying Nuo was speechless. It seemed that if she didn’t pour the water, this lady wouldn’t open her mouth?

It’s true, close contact really can shatter your image of someone. Originally, when Luo Ye talked about Zhu Hongyu, Ying Nuo imagined someone valiant, mature, and capable. Now that she saw her, her temperament wasn’t much different from hers.

”If she weren’t like this, I wouldn’t have agreed to work under her.” Luo Ye laughed, got up, and poured a cup of water for Zhu Hongyu.

After taking a small sip, Zhu Hongyu put the cup down heavily, making Ying Nuo instinctively shudder: ”Take it easy, that’s... not a gavel.”

”Okay, it’s just when I think of what I’m about to say, it makes my blood boil. Is the coffee table okay?” Zhu Hongyu said while bending down to carefully examine the simple table covered with a glass top.

Ying Nuo looked at her seriously: ”Sister Zhu, let’s verify, are you the Major Zhu Luoluo mentioned before? The way she described you sounds nothing like the way you are now.”

”Everyone has two sides. Didn’t we mention that earlier? We’re off duty now, should I still have to put on airs?”

Luo Ye nodded: ”Oh, I get it now, Sister Zhu was always putting on airs before.”

”No...” Zhu Hongyu was about to explain, but when she saw the playful look in Luo Ye and Ying Nuo’s eyes, she immediately understood and smacked them each playfully, ”You two are ganging up to tease me, I’ll get you!”

After some fussing around, Ying Nuo, who was initially a bit distant with Zhu Hongyu, naturally became closer to her, and the atmosphere became even more harmonious.

Only then did Zhu Hongyu start speaking: ”Luoluo and I left Apo’s daughter and son-in-law in Pozi Town and went to Po’er Village to take care of business. After finishing, we planned to leave and had arranged with a fellow soldier’s family to pick them up the morning after tomorrow to go back to Sha City, giving them a couple of days to pack their things properly.”

The soldier’s granny asked us to stay overnight. Luoluo and I told her we had to return to Qin Mountain Town for some business. Hearing this, the granny mentioned that her second sister lives in Qin Mountain Town. However, since she’s getting on in age and her legs aren’t great, they hadn’t seen each other for three years.”

When Luoluo and I inquired further, it turned out to be quite the coincidence; the soldier’s grandmother’s sister was actually Apo. Thus, the woman in Pozi Town was natural her third sister.

Thinking that the elderly lady might not have another chance to come back once she leaves, Luoluo and I discussed it and asked her if she’d like to join us in Qin Mountain Town to reunite with her sister for a couple of days.
