Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 18.1



When Li Chunhua pulled her daughter-in-law out of the courtyard, she began to tell her: “Xuezhu, you have to stay away from her. She’s wearing makeup. If it’s too close, it will affect the child in your stomach.”

He Xuezhu nodded obediently: “Okay, I’ll stay away from her. We’re not familiar with each other anyway.”

“But Mom, her name is Miao Xing.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine… Aren’t the stars and the moon all in the same sky. The moon is bigger than the stars.”

(Miao Xing [苗星] = seedling star; Miao Yue [苗月] = seedling moon)

Seeing her daughter-in-law’s clever response, Li Chunhua breathed a sigh of relief. She waved her hand to skip the name topic, and happily took her to wait for the bus.

As soon as they got on the bus, Li Chunhua inadvertently turned back and saw the little military wife named Miao standing at the gate of the courtyard, looking toward them.

She was shocked, the woman looked like a female ghost.

She looks pretty, but what is she wearing? It’s so thin! It’s okay when your young, but you would get rheumatism when your older.

They all live in a big courtyard. She has to tell Xuezhu to stay away from that Miao-something-or-whatever woman, and don’t wear so little in winter. What would happen when you get frozen?

Miao Xing gritted her teeth and stood watching the car leave. She had never been rejected like that before. Although all the women in the courtyard more or less knew about the matter between her and Lin Shiheng, they would never say it face to face. They were also too embarrassed to refuse when she took an initiative.

It’s just that she didn’t bother to show her kindness before. They were a group of housewives, who couldn’t do anything but mend clothes and insoles; and cooked every day.

Originally, village women like Lin Shiheng’s mother should be easy to please. But, how did it turn out like this?

She refused to admit that she was the problem. After thinking for a long time, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

He Xuezhu might have said something to the old lady.

Since she came to the courtyard, she has never been in contact with He Xuezhu. However, Miao Xing always thought that He Xuezhu knew about her and Lin Shiheng. After all, the rumors spread so much that; as Commander Lin’s wife, how could she not know?

What a surprise; It turns out that He Xuezhu had such skills.

The only ‘gap’ is not willing to get close to her now. In the morning, when she saw Lin Shiheng coming back with something, she greeted, but he wouldn’t say a word to her. The more Miao Xing thought about it, the angrier she became.

Did he really think she only had one choice?

Zhang Yanming is extravagant, but he is also a Platoon Leader. She is also the wife of a Platoon Leader. Why should she be avoided like this?

Just when she was thinking of this, a small soldier suddenly ran up the path outside. When he saw Miao Xing, he hurriedly came up to her. “Sister-in-law, Platoon Leader Zhang is injured and has been sent to the hospital. He wants to see you now.”

When Miao Xing arrived at the hospital, Zhang Yanming was lying on his side with his eyes closed tightly. He was pale, looking as if he was going to die.

Her face also paled, holding the wall, she was barely able to stand on her feet. Her quivering voice asked, “how is … he?”

The doctor on the side has heard about the story of Miao Xing; the dismissed nurse. Before, he said that both of them were stupid. Now, seeing that the man was injured, and the woman worried for him, he can’t help but feel ashamed for the thoughts in his heart.

“He was injured on the right leg, but I don’t know why he went into a coma. At present, it’s recommended to get treatment in the hospital first.”

Miao Xing slowly walked to her husband. Supported by the wall, she looked at the tiny scar on his right face. “Didn’t he want to see me?”

“Yes.” The doctor replied, “Platoon Leader Zhang was still awake when he came to the hospital and asked for his wife to come to the hospital to take care of him.”

Miao Xing’s face grew paler.

Seeing her like this, the doctor sighed and walked out of the ward.

It’s true that one’s misfortune tests other’s sincerity. Just looking at the miserable appearance of Miao Xing. The doctor thinks the couple had deep feelings.

In the ward, only Miao Xing and Zhang Yanming were left.

Miao Xing held out her hand and wanted to lift the quilt to see how Zhang Yanming’s leg was doing, but she withdrew her hand before touching the quilt.

A coma is unlikely to be caused by a leg injury, he was more likely to be hit on the head.

She went to check her husband’s head again. Zhang Yanming’s clothes had been changed, but his head bandages had not been changed. As soon as Miao Xing reached out, she touched some paste-like matter and immediately took her hand back in disgust.

She didn’t expect that Zhang Yanming had an accident in this period of time. If he was healthy and on a mission, Miao Xing could do things conveniently. If he died, Miao Xing could also become a justifiable free man, and inherit the military’s compensation for Zhang Yanming.

But he came back half dead.

Miao Xing has seen a lot of injured people. As a family member, she is most afraid of being like Zhang Yanming. Staying in a vegetative state.

As people know, lying for a few days is called coma. If you lie for more than a few days, it’s called a vegetative state.

Vegetative people need family members to take care of them, and because Zhang Yanming was a soldier and protected by the military marriage law; even if he becomes a vegetative person, Miao Xing cannot get a divorce.

Otherwise, when Lin Shiheng was in a coma, and Miao Xing would not have turned from her previous refusal of Zhang Yang, to feigning reluctance to push him to make more effort.

Unexpectedly, Lin Shiheng woke up alive and well, while Zhang Yanming became such a curse.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. She thought about all the money Zhang Yanming had gave her before he left that had been spent. She clapped her hands and hit her husband directly on the head. She turned and left the ward.

Miao Xing felt that she needed to calm down and think about how to get through this difficulty.

She is still so young; how can she be tied to a cripple and wait on him all her life?

The next second after the ward door was closed, on the bed, Zhang Yanming opened his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked at the closed door; puzzled and suspicious.

Yes, Zhang Yanming was not in a coma at all.

The only place where he was seriously injured was his leg. To be precise, even his leg was not so seriously injured. It was just the soldier next to him who was injured and the blood spattered on him. Zhang Yanming was scared by the blood, so his legs were unable to move. The people who came to rescue him mistook him for being seriously injured and sent to the hospital.

When he was lying on the stretcher, the doctor gave him a quick examination. Zhang Yanming asked nervously how it was and the doctor comforted him:

“It’s no big deal. You can get back to work again in two months.”

What sort of comfort was that?!

Zhang Yanming is really scared this time. Since his birth, it has always been a smooth journey. His previous work was ordinary, not life-threatening and easily promoted.

But since he lost the Zhang family’s shelter, he began to get more and more dangerous missions. This time, the other side actually threw a grenade over. If he didn’t quickly push the soldier next to him to block the blast, he didn’t know whether he would survive or not.

(Tnote: Seriously… how much of a scum are you? This was supposed to be the ML of this world?! ugh…)

He regretted it, but he didn’t want to bow to his family.

It’s better to get injured more seriously, so he could stop doing dangerous tasks, and also make your family feel distressed and pity.

And most importantly, Zhang Yanming pushed the seriously wounded soldier out to stop the blast. If the man survived and told the story, he would not have to work in the army anymore.

Thinking about that, he first told the doctor to inform his wife to come to the hospital, then closed his eyes and fell into a ‘coma’.

When he was a child, he pretended to sleep countless times in order to skip school. In this aspect, he did a perfect job. At least in such a chaotic situation, he was also a wounded soldier. The doctor did not think that he was pretending.

Zhang Yanming planned very well. Miao Xing is a nurse. She knows about these things, and they were a couple. He would pretend to be comatose, and Miao Xing would cover for him. When his parents feel sorry for him and forgive him, he will naturally ‘wake up’.

This was Zhang Yanming’s original plan, but when he was about to open his eyes and tell Miao Xing the truth, he got a slap on the head.
