"how's it going?"
“It’s all settled. She said it was Wang Mengyao who came up with the idea, and that Wang Mengyao also promised to send someone to call you. But Wang Mengyao denies it, saying that she has completed the procedures for returning to the city and will leave tomorrow, so there is no need to do this.”
Yu Yin told him the truth: Wang Mengyao was recruited by Lu Shurui, and he needed to know what kind of person she was.
"It must be her. She's trying to scheme against us even before she leaves, not wanting us to have an easy time. When we were kids, everyone thought she was cute, but I thought she was too fake. My family even wanted us to get married, but I was firmly against it, really, I refused completely."
Lu Shurui, with a strong will to survive, quickly offered an explanation.
"Alright, I'm not interested in the past. I'm only interested in what you do in the future."
Yu Yin thought to herself, "I don't even demand my parents' love, so I certainly can't beg for a man's love. At all times, I need to have my own income and the ability to live independently. I have a house, a job, savings, and two lovely children; why would I need to beg for a man's love? If it's not genuine love, I'd rather not have it than settle for less."
Yu Yin didn't care about Wang Mengyao or anything like that; all she cared about now was when her brother would come back, since there wasn't much time left until the New Year.
After dinner, Yu Yin was still chatting with Lu Shurui about why her brother hadn't come back yet, wondering if he had gone on another mission and wouldn't be able to return.
Lu Shurui hadn't figured out how to comfort Yu Yin when Yu's father arrived.
"Dad, have you eaten?"
"I've finished eating. I came to tell you that your brother is injured."
"Clang."
Yu Yin knocked over the enamel mug on the table, which shattered with a loud crash.
"He's injured! Where is he injured? Is it serious? Where is he now? He's..."
Yu Yin became more and more heartbroken as she asked questions, and finally, she choked up and couldn't speak.
"Don't worry, it's not that serious. He's at the Kyoto Military Hospital now. He fractured his leg and suffered some internal injuries. The doctor said his leg is fine, and if the internal injuries heal, they won't cause any lasting problems. Otherwise, he might have to be discharged."
"Internal injuries, discharge from the military?"
Yu Yin could hardly imagine how difficult it must have been for the young man not to join the army. From a young age, he had aspired to be a soldier who would protect his country, and leaving the army would be too cruel for him.
"Is there no other way? Can you come back to recuperate? It's easier to take care of yourself at home, and you can also get some nutrition."
Yu Yin thought of her spiritual spring water, which should be useful. She had recovered from a difficult childbirth when she was so weak, so it should work for her brother too.
"I need to come back to recover from my injury. It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone. My leg fracture needs to be healed, and the internal injuries also need time to heal. It's just that the journey is too far, and it's inconvenient to transfer back and forth. I plan to pick you up."
"Go ahead, do you have time at the end of the year? Can you pick me up and fly back?"
"Flying? What are you thinking? Someone of my level can't fly. I can carry him the whole way. Buying a sleeper berth might be a bit of a hassle getting on and off the train, but it shouldn't be a problem."
Yu Yin thought that carrying him on her back wouldn't work either, since the young man had internal injuries and she would have to carry him several times when he went back and forth, which would not be good for his recovery.
"No, this journey will take six or seven days and involve several transfers. My brother will suffer too much. It would be best if we could take a plane; it's faster and we wouldn't have to transfer. Are there any flights from Kyoto to here?"
"There are military planes that fly from Kyoto to Kunming, but I'm not high enough rank to qualify!"
It would be best if they could fly, saving Yu Jun the trouble of traveling.
"Is Captain Qiao's rank high enough?"
"Which Captain Qiao?"
Yu's father was stunned; he never expected that Captain Qiao was so capable.
"It's the one I rescued last time. He left me his contact information before he left, saying I could contact him if I needed anything."
"Ah, that Captain Qiao from Kyoto," Mr. Yu remembered.
"Captain Qiao is very capable, and his family wields considerable influence in the Kyoto Military Region. You just took his promise so easily?"
“Dad, none of those things are as important to me as my brother. Even if I had the intention to keep any promises, it would still come after my brother. Tomorrow, I’ll go to the post office and call to ask if they can help arrange for my brother to fly back.”
Yu's father was amused. "Taking a plane? What a remark!"
"Okay, ask around. If it doesn't work, don't force it. We'll think of another way."
"Okay, I understand."
"Okay, I'll head back now."
Yu's father arrived suddenly and left in a hurry.
Yu Yin felt much relieved knowing that her brother was only injured, and she needed to plan what would happen after he returned.
"Dad, he came by?"
Lu Shurui led the children in; the two little ones had gone next door to play and were having a great time, their faces beaming with smiles.
"You met?"
"No, from a distance, I could only see his back."
"Yes, Dad came to tell us that Xiao Ge was injured on a mission."
"Are you injured? Is it serious?"
Lu Shurui was very curious about her brother-in-law whom she had never met and really wanted to meet him.
"I broke my leg and suffered some internal injuries. I need to rest and recover properly. If I have any lasting effects, I'll have to leave the army. I'll call Captain Qiao tomorrow and ask him for help to see if he can give the guy a ride back so he won't suffer on the way."
"Airplane, ah, a plane!"
It took Lu Shurui a while to understand what Yu Yin meant.
“There are military planes that fly from Kyoto to Kunming, but my dad’s rank isn’t high enough, so there’s nothing we can do.”
"That's good, otherwise it would take several days to get here, which would be quite unbearable."
“My dad said that Captain Qiao’s family has a high status in the Kyoto Military Region, and he wondered if it would be a pity to use that promise so easily.”
Nothing is more important than people!
Upon hearing Lu Shurui's resolute words, Yu Yin, who had been holding back her tears, suddenly broke down and threw herself into Lu Shurui's arms, sobbing loudly.
