Chapter 466 No choice... Repair

Li Banxia choked up, her eyes slightly warm.

She took a small breath, smiled, and said, "Okay, I understand, brother. I will handle things properly between Yuanzhi and me. You and sister-in-law should also take good care of yourselves in the army."

"Yeah, don't worry, your sister-in-law and I are doing great." Brother Li heard Li Banxia inhale, opened his mouth, but didn't know how to comfort her.

“I went home a few days ago and sat with my parents, second brother, and sister-in-law. We talked about our children. Kids these days are different from us back then. The old idea of ​​raising children to provide for old age is outdated. Children are independent individuals. They have their own ideas, their own life goals and pursuits. If they don't want to get married and want to dedicate themselves to contributing to the country, then we shouldn't force them. It's good to give them more money so they have the means to be single.” Li Banxia thought of her eldest niece and offered some advice to her brother.

Brother Li laughed, "Your sister-in-law and I think so too. We sent the money we had back to our hometown a few days ago. You guys should all be careful and cautious in everything you do, and the worst thing you can do is be greedy! All investments have risks, and it's more important to remember to get out in time."

"I understand, don't worry, brother."

Li Banxia smiled and said, "This investment is backed by the country, so it's foolproof."

"That's good."

Brother Li's eyes lit up. "Then we can leave Kong Qing with more money to live on."

"yes……"

The siblings chatted for a while, and when the topic turned to Li San's health, Li Banxia told him about how he jumped into the river a few days ago to save Le Bao'er. "Dad said that after that incident, he's been exercising even more diligently. He's worried that once his children are married and have children, he won't be able to take care of his grandchildren and great-grandchildren anymore..."

Brother Li laughed heartily and said he was going to hang up the phone and chat with Brother Li San for a while.

Li Banxia then hung up the phone.

When she got home, Su Laoda and Su Laosan were both sitting in the hallway waiting for her. When they saw her return, Su Laosan jumped up and rushed over to greet her, asking anxiously, "Mom, what's the situation with Uncle? Did Uncle say anything?"

Li Banxia nodded and relayed what Brother Li had said.

Boss Su's eyes turned red.

"Why would my uncle go on such a dangerous mission? Isn't he in command? Aren't there special forces? Why would a brigade commander like him need to go?"

"Mom, is there any hope for Uncle's hand? We're not short of money now. Let's send Uncle to a big hospital for treatment. If it doesn't work in Beijing, we'll go to Shanghai. If it doesn't work in Shanghai... we'll go abroad. We have money!" Su Laosan said through gritted teeth.

Li Banxia closed her eyes, let out a long sigh, and shook her head.

"There's no way to repair it. His meridians are all severed below the elbow, leaving only flesh and bone without nerves. There's no way to repair it."

The eldest and third brothers of the Su family exchanged a glance, both filled with horror.

"How could this happen? Won't my uncle be disabled from now on?"

Su Laosan found it hard to accept. "He's a sharpshooter! He can hit a bird's nest with a slingshot every time! What will he do in the future?"

Li Banxia felt a sharp pain in her heart when she thought of how he casually said he couldn't hold a gun because of his injured hand.

The older brother also said that he didn't have to go, but he submitted three reports to actively fight for it.

She understood what he wanted.

But she also knew clearly that she... couldn't give him anything.

Her heart is now barren.

"Go back, we have things to do tomorrow."

Li Banxia walked through the passageway back to the backyard.

"mom……"

Su Laosan ruffled his hair, both anxious and angry, and circled around Su Laoda several times, making Su Laoda dizzy.

"Third brother, stop spinning around. Tomorrow we'll all ask around among our friends and family to see if there's any way to help our uncle. I have a senior classmate who seems to have a younger brother studying abroad. I'll ask him to help me find out if there are any hospitals overseas that can perform this kind of reconstructive surgery..."

Su Laosan paused, then clenched his fist.

"Yes, I'll go find Sister Yuzhen. She knows foreign businessmen. There must be one country among so many that can handle this, right?"

The two brothers looked at each other and nodded.

"Go back, brother. I need to go back and think about how to talk to Zhu Jialiang about this tomorrow."

Old Su sighed and hung his head. "Yesterday we were complaining with him about who stole his deputy director position. Tomorrow I'll tell him, 'Hey buddy, the person who stole your deputy director position is my uncle. How about that? Surprised? Excited?'"

Boss Su, "..."

"Why don't you wait until Grandpa and Mom have examined his mother before you talk about it? Maybe he won't hold it against you because of the kindness Grandpa and Mom showed in treating his mother?"

Upon hearing this, Su Laosan stroked his chin and hummed in agreement, "It's not impossible."

The next day, Zhu Jialiang found a cart somewhere, covered it with a quilt, and brought the old lady to the health center.

"Brother, brother! It's here..."

Su Laosan could hardly believe his eyes. A taxi ride wouldn't cost much, yet Zhu Jialiang had found a cart.

So short of money?!

When Captain Zhu saw him, he paused for a moment, then pulled the old lady over.

Su Laosan hurriedly opened the back door, moved the threshold, and let the cart in.

Once inside the courtyard, Su Laosan said, "If I had known that the old lady was having such difficulty, I would have arranged for a car to pick you up."

Team Leader Zhu shook his head.

"No need, this is already too much trouble for your family. The cart is quite convenient."

Su Laosan smiled and said, "Alright, can the old lady walk? Let's go to the room where we usually drink tea; it's quiet there."

"this……"

Team Leader Zhu glanced at the front yard. "Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Everyone else is queuing, and we..."

“We’re on the same side as them. Let’s go inside and talk.” Su Laosan glanced at the woman lying on the cart with her eyes covered and asked in a low voice, “Is the old lady asleep?”

Team Leader Zhu shook his head.

"My mom... can't stand bright light. Mom, we're here. Let's get out and go inside to wait for the doctor."

The old lady sighed and reached out from under the covers to grope around.

Team Leader Zhu quickly reached out to help, but Old Su, quick as a flash, grabbed the old lady's other hand and said with a smile, "Auntie, I'm Brother Zhu's friend. I'll help you this way. Be careful, there are three steps here. Lift your foot, yes, yes, lift it again, lift it one more time, okay..."

The two men helped the old lady into the house. Captain Zhu wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly glanced at Su Laosan.

They discovered that he not only didn't show any disdain for his mother, but also smiled and poured water for her, bringing it to her side. He also pulled the fruit plate from the middle of the table and placed it where the old lady could easily reach it with her hand hanging down.

Captain Zhu sighed, and the smile in his eyes became more genuine.

"Third brother, stop bothering."

"Yes, young man, come with Jia Liang to my house later, and I'll make you some pancakes."

Su Laosan smiled and agreed, making the old lady beam with joy. Then he gave Zhu a wink and said, "I'll go see if my grandfather is done with his work. You show Auntie around the room first."
