Chapter 359: Back Straightened

"Mom, I told you I'm fine. Do you want me to stay at home all my life? I'd rather die than stay at home!"

Seeing her daughter suddenly become emotional, Feng Wanjun didn't dare to say anything.

She hurriedly comforted him, "Xiaoxiao, that's not what Mom meant. Don't get excited."

"I..." Meng Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, only to feel a little breathless, and she covered her chest with her hands. Feng Wanjun was also shocked when she saw this, and hurried back to Meng Xiaoxiao's room, got the medicine for her, and poured a pill into her mouth.

The special medicine entered her mouth, and the suffocating feeling finally eased. Meng Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and she suddenly understood a problem.

Now her health condition seems to be really not suitable for joining the army.

It wasn’t so serious in the past. She almost couldn’t breathe because she was just a little angry!

"Mom, what did the doctor say?"

Meng Xiaoxiao reached out and grabbed Feng Wanjun's arm tightly, her eyes full of fear.

"Xiaoxiao, don't worry. The doctor said your illness is just a minor problem. Don't worry!"

Feng Wanjun whispered to comfort her daughter, and Meng Xiaoxiao's face turned even paler.

"I need to go out for a while! I need to go back to the army!"

Seeing that her daughter's voice was a little excited again, Feng Wanjun did not dare to refuse at this time and could only let her do what she wanted.

But she knew in her heart that going to the army was just an excuse, and her daughter would most likely still go to find Ning Zhiyuan.

Thinking of that young man Ning Zhiyuan, Feng Wanjun also felt it was a great pity.

No matter from which aspect, Ning Zhiyuan is a good person. In addition, the relationship between the two families is good. If her daughter can marry Ning Zhiyuan, no matter what problems her daughter has, the old Ning family will not treat her harshly.

In addition, the two homes are close to each other, so she can keep an eye on her daughter at any time. It is the best choice.

But now... Ning Zhiyuan is already married, what else can she do? She can't go and beg the Ning family to let the two of them get a divorce, right?

Feng Wanjun would never do such an inappropriate thing.

Feng Wanjun persuaded Meng Xiaoxiao to go back to her room. Fearing that she would be upset again, she even called her son over through the window.

Meng Xiaodong ran upstairs quickly. This little guy has been in very good health since he was young and rarely catches a cold.

He was having fun playing with his friends downstairs when his mother called him.

"Mom, you've prepared dinner so soon?"

Seeing her son running out of breath with a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, Feng Wanjun hurriedly raised her hand and gently wiped the sweat from the child's forehead.

"Didn't mom tell you not to run so much? Look, you're sweating! If you sweat and catch a cold, what will you do?"

"Mom, you know my health condition, how could I catch a cold? The meal isn't ready yet, why did you call me back?"

The young man stretched his neck and saw that the family had not started to get angry yet, so he complained with dissatisfaction on his face.

"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat!" Feng Wanjun tapped her son on the forehead before telling him her purpose: "Go to the room and keep an eye on your sister. Your sister is in a bad mood today!"

"Mom, other families favor boys over girls! In our family, it's the opposite. In other families, the older sister looks after the younger brother, but you let me, as a younger brother, look after my sister. She's already a grown-up, does she still need me to look after her?"

The little girl pouted in dissatisfaction, and Feng Wanjun glared at her: "Isn't your sister in poor health? As a younger brother, shouldn't you care about her?"

"I... okay, okay, I'll go see her now!"

Meng Xiaodong still couldn't bear it. Even though his sister wasn't very smart, she was still his sister after all. His mother had asked him to do something, so he had to go and look after her.

But my sister is so old now, but she still makes my mother worried. I don’t know what’s wrong with her.

The little guy ran to Meng Xiaoxiao's room angrily. When he saw his brother coming, Meng Xiaoxiao asked unhappily, "What are you doing here?"

"You think I'm willing to come here, but it's because our mother is worried about you. Meng Xiaoxiao, you're already an adult, and you still make your mother worried. Aren't you ashamed?"

Meng Xiaodong gave Meng Xiaoxiao an impolite look, and Meng Xiaoxiao glared at him fiercely: "If you don't want to come, don't come. I didn't beg you to come!"

"Humph, I don't know who you look like. If we hadn't grown up together, I would have suspected that you weren't my sister!"

The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously. Meng Xiaoxiao looked at Meng Xiaodong in confusion. She remembered that when the two of them went out together before, many people said that they didn't look alike at all.

If people didn't know they were siblings, outsiders would think they had nothing to do with each other.

Someone asked her mother at the time, but her mother smiled and said that one of them looks like their father and the other looks like their mother, so naturally they are different!

There are many people with many brothers and sisters in their compound, but this is the first time they have seen two who look nothing alike like them.

Could it be that they are really not siblings? Where did the brother come from?

Meng Xiaoxiao looked at Meng Xiaodong and asked in confusion: "Meng Xiaodong, were you picked up?"

Hearing this, Meng Xiaodong jumped up and looked at Meng Xiaoxiao angrily: "You are the one who was picked up! Your whole family was picked up!"

What a joke! He and his dad are almost cut from the same mold, so how come he was the one who was picked up?

Thinking of the similarities between Meng Xiaodong and her father, Meng Xiaoxiao's brows furrowed even more tightly. If it wasn't Meng Xiaodong, could it be herself? However, she had asked her mother before, and her mother said it was definitely not the case.

Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. God is too unfair to me. We are born by the same parents, so why is Meng Xiaodong fine while I have a heart disease?

She also had to think about how to leave here. Regardless of whether it was possible or not, she had to go and meet Xia Liang's mother.

Maybe that woman will give her a surprise! Besides, that woman is just a nuisance to Xia Liang. Now that she is trapped in the police station, Xia Liang's life is going smoothly, which is not what she wants to see.

Under the shade of a tree not far from the compound, a few old men gathered there, some playing chess, some enjoying the cool breeze, and chatting about nothing. They were all former soldiers, with more or less injuries on their bodies, and now it was time for them to enjoy their lives.

Different from the past, Mr. Ning now stands with his back straight.

Seeing that he looked so bright, several old men couldn't help but ask curiously, "Hey, Mr. Ning, you seem to be in a good mood today. What's going on?"

The old man was not feeling well a few days ago and has not been out for several days.

"How can he be in a bad mood? Don't you know that his grandson has married a wife?"

Another old man said that this was said with a hint of bitterness. In the past, their grandchildren could not compare to Mr. Ning. The only thing they could bring up was that their grandchildren married early and already had great-grandchildren.

But now Ning Zhiyuan is married and will soon have a grandson, so they still feel jealous.
