After a week of negotiations, both sides finally reached a mutually satisfactory agreement.
Yuan Si could enlist, but once the border issue was resolved, the army had to agree to her discharge and transfer her to a job near wherever Xiao Furen was working at the time.
Furthermore, depending on the situation, Yuan Si would be granted a few days of leave each year to reunite with her family. After all, her mother was getting on in years, and no one could say when something might happen, so she had to go home to see her annually.
Commander Tao was quite hesitant when he first heard Xiao Furen's demands. The army, after all, was a place where discipline was strictly enforced. There was no room for special privileges; everyone had to be treated equally.
