Chapter 185 Where is the passbook I gave you?
Ye Xiaomei suddenly stopped and looked sideways at the man. She was a little confused. Should she say it or not?
"What? Not enough?" Ma Qijun found that there was something here. If it was not enough, he could make more contributions and get promoted.
“No, no!” Ye Xiaomei waved her hands repeatedly: “It’s our mother…”
"Boss, my god, it took me so long to find it..." The person who rushed in from outside the hotel was Zhang Sanmao. He took off his police hat and used it as a fan while panting:
"No."
Ye Xiaomei's head buzzed, and her first reaction was that something had happened to Jia Nannan who had been transferred to the Military General Hospital:
"What's wrong, Brother Sanmao?"
"Sister-in-law, Jia Nannan is not doing well, and we can't contact her family. Boss, what do you say we should do?"
Zhang Sanmao attached great importance to this matter, especially when he learned that Jia Nannan was the only witness to prove his sister-in-law's innocence. As the person in charge of this case, how could he not be anxious?
"No way, have you been to school?" Ye Xiaomei was slightly stunned, but schools usually have students' household registration and related information.
"She's gone. She's the only grandmother left, and she's dead."
After Zhang Sanmao said this, Ma Qijun glanced at his wife. It was obvious that she cared about this classmate very much.
"Sanmao, pack some dishes. I'll take your sister-in-law over to have a look first."
After saying that, Ma Qijun took Ye Xiaomei out of the house, hailed a taxi and headed straight to the Military General Hospital.
"Brother, take your wife to the pregnancy check-up. Now that economic conditions have improved and policies have improved, pregnancy check-ups are free, as long as it's not an extra birth. Brother, how many babies are you having? My wife is pregnant with her second child."
The driver was a man in his thirties who sounded like a chatterbox.
Ye Xiaomei felt embarrassed and could only say that she went to visit a friend. In fact, when she thought about it carefully, it was time for her to have a prenatal check-up. However, the policy stipulated that she could only enjoy the relevant benefits by taking a prenatal check-up at her place of household registration.
Ma Qijun raised his eyelids and glanced at the driver in front of him. What the hell, he was having a second child:
"My wife is pregnant with twins."
Ye Xiaomei looked at the man awkwardly. The corner of his mouth was raised with an expression that said "I'm so awesome".
"Yeah, twins are great. They save you from suffering twice. Brother, congratulations on this."
That was when Ma Qijun touched his chin with a smug look on his face, and stretched out his long arms to hold the woman in his arms.
Ye Xiaomei instantly felt a strong sense of security. She lowered her head and said softly, "Brother Ma, actually, I have returned the passbook you gave me to our mother."
After hearing this, Ma Qijun sat up straight, looking as if he didn't understand the situation.
The chatterbox driver quickly replied, "Brother, I can tell from the looks of it that your wife is well-educated and well-mannered, unlike my wife who gets angry with me every time I give my mother 30 yuan a month. You must cherish such a good wife, brother."
Ma Qijun raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and was obviously a little impatient:
"That's for you." Ma Qijun frowned and looked down at the little girl in his arms. Every time he thought about it, he felt it was terrifying.
She didn't bring her savings book. How was she going to make ends meet as the semester was about to end? What was she going to eat with two children in her belly?
No wonder her clothes are still her old ones.
"I know. Actually, I haven't said much in my letters to you during this period." Ye Xiaomei only reported good news and not bad news. After the first time she was injured in the leg and almost became disabled, she would never allow a man to be distracted on the battlefield because of her own affairs:
"Actually, my mother came to see me last month. You probably know the reason even if I don't tell you."
"You are not allowed to go to school?"
Ye Xiaomei nodded, some words still ringing in her ears. She said that if her son insisted on going to school, she would divorce him, and then he could not spend his money.
Ye Xiaomei took a deep breath. She was not so great as to let bygones be bygones, nor was she as weak as she appeared to be to say that she didn't care about the fact that she had put a needle hole in the condom:
"Honestly, Brother Ma, I don't want to live with our mother anymore, and I don't want her to interfere in our lives."
Ma Qijun was moved and clenched his hands slightly: "Okay."
Ye Xiaomei looked at the man suddenly? He said "yes" so straightforwardly? He agreed. That was his biological mother, and he was famous for being filial.
"It would be great to live together. I can take care of your children and cook for you in the future." The driver interrupted again, sighing and shaking his head, as if he had seen the wrong person. Why are all daughters-in-law like this? Isn't it the same as marrying a chicken follows the chicken, marrying a dog follows the dog?
"Brother, please don't interrupt us when we are talking." Be careful or he will hit you with his fist.
"I am speaking from the bottom of my heart, but my honest advice may be unpleasant to the ears. As a son, you must respect your mother. Marrying a wife is to help you respect your mother..."
Next, there was a series of educational lessons. Ye Xiaomei clearly felt that the man was about to lose his temper. She squeezed the man's hand awkwardly, signaling him not to be angry.
This suppressed Ma Qijun's urge to attack.
Ye Xiaomei grabbed the man's hand and held it in her arms, rubbing her face hard against his palm. In fact, she missed the man very much these days, but she didn't know how to say it out loud.
She thought for a long time before she uttered three words: "Thank you."
Ma Qijun stiffened his body and stared at the girl who was hugging his arm. He subconsciously raised his hand and rubbed her hair but did not say anything.
The car stopped at the gate of the Military General Hospital. Ye Xiaomei got out and took a look at the familiar place.
Unexpectedly, Ma Qijun stood there in a pilot's uniform, completely lacking his previous tough demeanor:
"Wife...I, I don't have money to pay for the taxi."
Ye Xiaomei was stunned for two seconds and then burst out laughing. Yes, he even left his allowance savings book at home, so where did the money come from?
Ye Xiaomei paid three yuan for the taxi fare and was heading towards the hospital when she suddenly stopped.
"Brother Ma, you left your bankbook at home. What do you eat and spend in the army?"
Ma Qijun shook his hair and said, "We have military pay for meals, there is a canteen in the military area, and clothes and toiletries are all distributed by the logistics department."
"..." Ye Xiaomei almost couldn't bear it: "Then...then you don't need anything else?"
"Nothing else is needed, by the way."
Ma Qijun unbuttoned his shirt seriously and took out a white object:
"I brought this for you. It smells delicious."
Ye Xiaomei was speechless: "What is this?"
Ma Qijun put one hand on the woman's shoulder and they talked as they walked. He said seriously:
"This is called scented soap. It has a scent. There are only three pieces of it in the military compound in the entire military region."
Ye Xiaomei took it suspiciously and smelled it: "It smells really good. It's really different from the scented soap I use at home."
Ma Qijun just smiled at his daughter-in-law. Her face was filled with a long-lost joy and her eyes were as bright as before.
"It would be such a waste if such a fragrant soap was used to wash clothes. Would it also have a fragrance if I used it to wash my face?" The haze in Ye Xiaomei's heart was swept away, and she even forgot about Jia Nannan.
"I haven't used it either, you'll know if you try it." Ma Qijun had no idea, but he felt satisfied as long as he saw a smile on his wife's face.
The nurse, who was almost going crazy with waiting, saw Ma Qijun rushing over:
"This is Chief Ma, right? This must be Madam Ye Xiaomei. I heard from Special Envoy Zhang that the patient Jia Nannan is from your school, right? Where are her family members? They are waiting to sign the critical illness notice."
The nurse was so busy that she looked like she was on fire. She shouted to the office at the end of the corridor behind her:
"Master, Chief Ma and Ye Xiaomei are here."
Ye Xiaomei was suddenly brought back to reality. She quickly stuffed the soap into the cloth bag and kept it safe.
"Why did you issue a critical illness notice?"
The nurse explained in a hurry: "This girl's ruptured cyst in the abdominal cavity is easy to treat, but she has congenital anticoagulant disease, so we dare not operate on her."
Ye Xiaomei's head buzzed. This disease was second only to leukemia.
When I think of what Brother Sanmao said, she only has a grandmother in her family who passed away not long ago. What...what should she do?
If she had known this would happen, she should not have asked Jia Nannan to help her find any evidence. She offended Liu Dafeng and got beaten up. Otherwise, this would not have happened.
