Chapter 1514 Where’s My Discharge Certificate?

Xiao Feng exclaimed: "Xiao Xue, what’s going on with you? I am your best friend, you were never like this before."

Hai Xue expressionless: "What was I like before? Did I help you count money after you sold me out?"

Xiao Feng was shocked: Did she really find out something?

She tentatively asked: "Xiao Xue, did you hear some rumors from someone?"

Hai Xue finally looked seriously into her eyes, speaking word by word: "Just like the rumors you spread back in the day that I was discharged from the army?"

Xiao Feng’s heart pounded: She really knows. No wonder she’s so indifferent to her today.

However, when Xiao Feng dared to spread rumors at that time, she naturally had a way to back out once the rumors were debunked.

"Xiao Xue, are you still upset about me speaking wrongly back then? When you came back from the army to Hai Village, I later went back to see you. People in the village saw you return and didn’t dare to ask you directly, so they naturally came to ask me.

Yes, I did slip and said that you almost got labeled as a spy due to overseas relations. But as soon as the words were out, I realized my mistake and tried to explain to everyone..."

Indeed, Xiao Feng did try to explain to the villagers at the time, but only made things worse.

"Oh my, I shouldn’t have said that, sorry, what I said earlier doesn’t count."

"Xiao Xue grew up in our village, she’s certainly not a spy, there’s no solid evidence."

"She returned of her own accord, not because she was discharged."

As a result, her explanation only made the villagers "understand": Hai Xue was almost labeled a spy due to overseas relations, but because there was no solid evidence, she was discharged!

"Haha."

Hai Xue could only coldly laugh in her heart, suddenly asking: "Where’s my discharge certificate?"

Upon hearing the three words discharge certificate, Xiao Feng was shocked: "You—"

Hai Xue pressed further: "The army said you collected my discharge certificate, but when you returned to Hai Village, you didn’t give it to me, where’s my discharge certificate?"

If she had her discharge certificate back then, how could she have been mistaken for someone who was discharged? Also, when those people wanted to publicly denounce and persecute targets, someone even suggested targeting her as a spy due to her overseas relations.

It was her foster mother who held onto her tightly, fighting passionately with those people: "Our family has been poor farmers for generations, Xuexue grew up with us and never lived a capitalist Eldest Lady lifestyle; she’s long been part of the poor farmer class."

No matter how they kicked and hit, her foster mother wouldn’t let her go. The people couldn’t drag her away, and with the old team leader testifying that she was indeed raised in Hai Village and imbued with the values of a poor farming family, she was spared from public denouncement.

However, her foster mother suffered injuries and her health deteriorated, passing away at just over sixty. Her foster father died a few years later too.

If she had her discharge certificate, she’d be a discharged soldier, and although not necessarily celebrated in the village, at least she’d not be bullied. But due to the missing discharge certificate and Xiao Feng’s intentional slip of the tongue causing people to mistake her for a discharged person, she received such treatment, leading to her foster parents’ early deaths.

Facing the culprit before her, how could Hai Xue show any kindness? How could she accept her New Year’s greetings?

Driving her out was already mild; not physically assaulting her was the utmost of her patience.

Upon hearing Hai Xue ask about the discharge certificate and even saying that the army claimed Xiao Feng collected Hai Xue’s discharge certificate, Xiao Feng felt panicked inside.
