Chapter 100: Hard-heartedness makes it hard to succeed
Ye Xiaomei felt heartbroken when she saw him clenching his gums.
Ma Qiming was naturally very satisfied when he heard this, and Song Qing also raised his chin.
"Yes, Qiming, you can find a decent one for your brother. The whole family helps each other so that outsiders can't laugh at it." Wang Youliang's words were quite to the point, except that he looked fierce with his beard.
"Your legs are not convenient either." Ma Qiming pretended to think: "How about our county's armed forces department, you go over there and guard the door? When the leader comes, or the police are dispatched, you just need to be more alert and open the door quickly. You don't have to work hard all day long. Do you think it's okay? If it's okay, I'll send a letter to the minister, and you can just mention my name when you go there."
When Ye Xiaomei heard the word "gatekeeper", she couldn't help but look at the man's profile with distress. He said expressionlessly:
"Okay, say hello first." After saying that, he stuffed the scallion pancake into his mouth with big mouthfuls, his cheeks puffed up.
Song Qing smiled brightly and thought: This is how watchdogs are made. You still want to compete with my son? No way.
On the way back, Ma Qijun rode his bicycle without saying a word.
Ye Xiaomei became more worried: "Brother Ma, if you have anything on your mind, just speak it out. That way you will feel better."
Ma Qijun suddenly supported himself on the ground with one foot, and Ye Xiaomei followed suit and got off the bicycle. She watched the man put one leg behind the bicycle and sat on a stone by the roadside with his head buried.
Seeing that he was silent, Ye Xiaomei sat beside him, hooked her arm around his, and leaned her face against the man's body:
"Brother Ma, I was the one who cured your leg. You must believe that I can completely cure your leg. Then you can return to the team and your dream will come true."
"How can it be realized? Even if I return to the army, I won't be entrusted with important tasks like before. Maybe being a stove cook in the logistics department cafeteria is not bad."
Ma Qijun said this with self-mockery. In fact, he had been married to Ye Xiaomei for several months, and he never intended to speak out such psychological matters.
There is a reason for this. Ma Qijun felt that returning to mediocrity, getting married and having children would still mean the same life. He always felt lucky - that by getting married he could live the life of an ordinary person peacefully.
But the longer time passed, the more he felt that the thing buried deep in his bones was getting bigger and bigger, and one day it would break out of the ground.
It felt like a mission buried in his bones. If he did not complete this mission, he would dream every night of training his subordinates. He would receive images of him leading his troops into battle when the enemy invaded the Chinese territory at any time and anywhere.
This formed a sharp contrast with the reality that when he was repairing chairs for people at school, a group of children threw pebbles at him and kept cursing him as a stinky cripple.
Ye Xiaomei suddenly said excitedly: "Brother Ma, I discovered a huge secret today."
"What secret?" His wife interrupted his thoughts. Ma Qijun hugged his wife in an attempt to feel a sense of security from her. At this moment, he instinctively felt that his little girl had some weird ideas again.
Ye Xiaomei said righteously, "Didn't you say that your physical fitness is different from that of ordinary people? I guess it's hereditary, so if others get injured this badly, they might be finished with it for the rest of their lives, but not you. You have many miracles hidden in you."
Sure enough, Ma Qijun's eyes lit up, and he looked at the palm of his hand. Everything in the past flashed through his mind like a reverse video.
Yes, at that time his injuries had been diagnosed as irreversible serious injuries by the Military General Hospital, but hasn’t he stood up now?
Suddenly, something was burning in Ma Qijun's heart. She glanced at the woman:
"I see. You bring good luck to your husband."
"..." Ye Xiaomei was stunned for a moment. When she thought of this, she burst out laughing: "Yes, I am a lucky charm for my husband."
After returning home, Ye Xiaomei began to calculate the cost of the necessary medicinal materials.
Ma Qijun accompanied him: "Do you have to drink so much? Is it still so bitter?"
"Good medicine tastes bitter." Ye Xiaomei frowned as she said this. This would cost hundreds of dollars.
Late at night, there was a knock on the door. It was Wang Lan.
"Xiao Mei, I know you can cure Qijun's leg. I'm begging you to do that!" She said as she was about to kneel down.
Ye Xiaomei was so flustered that she looked like she was being boiled. She stood up and pulled Wang Lan up. She saw that her eyes had been red since she came back.
"Mom, please don't cry. I'm just trying to find a solution. You always say that we should fight for our reputation instead of for the bread. This time, Brother Ma will definitely get better."
Wang Lan sniffed and said, "Yes, I'm not fighting for money, but for reputation. I'll make them look down on my son."
"Yes, mom. Let's give it a try anyway." Ma Qijun looked at the soft back and felt a little ashamed. He had experienced life and death and fought in various battles, but he didn't expect that he was not as determined as his wife in this matter.
A million shames ran through me.
After comforting Wang Lan, Ye Xiaomei glanced at Ma Qijun and let out a long sigh.
How to solve the money problem?
Inside the detention room of the police station, the iron door was slammed loudly, causing great annoyance to the staff on duty.
"Stop filming. Can you still go to sleep?"
"Comrade, please let me go home. I promise to pay the compensation tomorrow."
Early in the morning, before daybreak, the iron door of the detention room was finally opened.
Wang Minzhi, who was half asleep, heard the noise and looked over with her swollen eyes. Unexpectedly, the person who came was Ye Xiaomei.
As soon as Ye Xiaomei came in, the iron gate was closed.
"You...what are you doing here?" Fear flashed in Wan Minzhi's eyes. She had never been so scared of this girl who couldn't even fart.
"I came to ask you for money. By the way, Auntie, I just called Director Li on the public phone and asked for his consent. If you don't compensate me, you will stay here from now on."
Ye Xiaomei sat sideways on a stool, looking at Wang Minzhi with a calm expression, her slightly chubby little face full of harmless childishness.
Who would have thought that beneath such a soft, beautiful face, there is a "goblin" who is bold and vindictive.
Wang Minzhi shuddered when she heard this: "You...what did you say? I can't go home? Didn't we agree to lock you up for one day?"
"I have the final say." Ye Xiaomei thought to herself - Auntie, Auntie, Director Li has been so disgusted with you, don't you have any sense in your heart? He wants to get rid of you now, how could he possibly help you.
Wang Minzhi was shocked when she heard these words. She rushed to the door and continued to knock on it:
"Comrade, is there anyone here? Please... let me go home."
There was a sound of banging on the door from outside: "Stop arguing, and quickly notify your family to pay the compensation. Our Director Li said that if you can't pay, you can't leave."
Hearing this, Wang Minzhi's dishevelled face was filled with despair, her eyes were wandering, and at first glance, she looked like she was possessed by a demon, and she kept muttering, "Two thousand four, two thousand four..."
In fact, it really makes people feel sad. Look at the coarse cloth clothes she is wearing. It's not something a lady would want because her height and physique don't match her. Look, the buttons on her chest are all torn into a knot.
Ye Xiaomei is getting old, and she has to use this method, otherwise there will be no money for Brother Ma's medicine. Early in the morning, Ma Qiming came in person and said that he had greeted the Minister of the Armed Forces and asked him to come and meet them today.
Ye Xiaomei claimed that she had money to buy medicine, so she came along. In fact, she did not have enough money at all. She just told Brother Ma that she was using the gift money she had saved up because she was afraid that he would worry about the money.
Wang Minzhi staggered and sat on the ground, crying loudly:
"Are you trying to force me to death? You know that all the money is in your grandmother's hands. You want me to take out more than 2,000 yuan a day. Isn't this going to kill me? How can you be so cruel... Oh, God."
