At the Xia family, Xia Youyou returned home to recuperate, and Xia's mother and father stayed at home to accompany him today. Xia's mother worked in a government office, and she was usually a fierce and violent person, but at this moment, facing her son who had returned from injury, her eyes were full of pity.
The family sat together, and Xia Xiaoyou suddenly remembered Mu Nanhe's appearance, and couldn't help but said, "Mom, Dad, Mu Nanhe, the battalion commander, I looked at him carefully today, and the more I looked, the more strange it seemed to me. I tell you, he looks like Dad at first glance."
Mother Xia was slightly stunned, and after thinking for a moment, she replied: "When I first saw the child, I was wondering why he looked a bit like your father when he was young, but I was so worried about you at the time that I didn't think much about it. Now that you mention it, it's really strange. How could there be someone so similar."
Xia Xiaoyou rolled his eyes, looked at his father, and half-jokingly said, "Dad, you wouldn't have an illegitimate child outside, would you?"
When Father Xia heard this, he immediately frowned and pretended to be angry and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, kid!"
Xia's mother 廩 hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "彭佑, don't be disrespectful. I believe your father, so don't talk nonsense anymore."
Xia Youyou chuckled. Ever since he heard Yang Qingyan say that she could cure him, he has become as cheerful and generous as before, without the gloom after the injury.
He then opened up the conversation again: "Dad, Mom, is there anything else in our family that I don't know?"
Father Xia was silent for a while, as if he had made a big decision, and slowly spoke: "Actually, you have a younger sister, but she died at birth."
Mother Xia's eyes dimmed instantly, and she took over the conversation: "Yes, your father and I were hunted by enemy spies and fled all the way to a rural county town. In the chaos, I was separated from your father. I was born prematurely at that time, and I had no relatives around me. I was isolated and helpless..."
Mother Xia's eyes were red as she spoke, and her voice was a little choked up. "Your sister just died at birth, and I didn't even have time to take a good look at her little face..."
Father Xia patted Mother Xia's shoulder gently, comforted her and then fell into deep thought: "Meimei, are you sure you gave birth to a daughter? When I rushed over, the doctor simply told me that the baby had died. I was so anxious and worried about your safety that I didn't take a closer look. I was only thinking about you."
Mother Xia lifted her head and wiped the tears from her eyes, trying to calm herself down: "I was too weak at the time, and I had heavy bleeding after giving birth. I fainted. When I woke up, the doctor told me that I had given birth to a daughter, but she died. I was completely desperate at the time..."
Father Xia frowned and muttered to himself, "Could there be something we don't know about this? Nan He looks too much like me, could it be..."
After thinking for a moment, Xia Xiaoyou's eyes lit up and he suggested, "Mom and Dad, let's go to see Captain Mu sometime and ask about his family. In this situation, I always feel an inexplicable closeness to him, maybe it can solve our doubts."
Upon hearing this, Mother Xia immediately nodded in approval: "That's exactly what I meant, and I was thinking of making some chicken soup for the child. Doctor Yang cured you, and we haven't yet properly repaid him. Captain Mu has suffered such a great crime, and his body needs nourishment. Chicken soup is nutritious and will be good for his recovery."
Father Xia echoed: "We should go and see. This kid is a real hero on the battlefield and has made contributions to the country. We can't let down a hero."
Xia Youyou smiled and responded: "Yes, that's it, let's pick a time and go together as a family."
The family's thoughts are focused on Mu Nanhe.
After the operation, Yang Qingyan saw a strange woman in expensive clothes at the door. The woman had exquisite makeup, a well-cut cheongsam that outlined her slender waist, and the jewelry on her body was luxurious. She stepped forward with high heels and called Yang Qingyan, with a look of scrutiny in her eyes: "You are Yang Qingyan, right? I am Bai Yilin's mother. I want to talk to you about something."
Seeing her behavior, Yang Qingyan felt disgusted for no reason. Her brows wrinkled tightly into the shape of a "川" character and she replied impatiently, "Why are you looking for me? Hurry up and say what you want!"
Li Fen was choked by her attitude, a trace of displeasure flashed across her face, but she still suppressed her anger and forced a smile: "Yang Bozhi, I believe you know about my daughter and Mu Nanhe. My daughter has been spoiled since she was a child. She is stubborn and insists on not letting go of Mu Nanhe." Having said this, she paused and her eyes stayed on Yang Qingyan's face for a moment, as if she wanted to see her reaction.
Yang Qingyan crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "That's your business. What does it have to do with me? I don't have the time to meddle with your eldest lady's emotional problems."
Seeing this, Li Fen bit her lip and continued, "My girl is pestering me, crying and shouting that she will not marry anyone but Mu Nanhe. I really can't persuade her, and she really likes Nanhe. Please take the initiative to leave and help them." There was some helplessness in Li Fen's tone, but her eyes were shrewd and calculating.
Yang Qingyan rolled her eyes, her face full of disgust: "Auntie, it's useless to ask me about your daughter's emotional problems. I'm not a matchmaker, so I can't control this matter of tying red strings. If you really love your daughter, you should persuade her not to hang herself on a tree. There are many good men in this world. Why bother staring at Mu Nanhe?"
Li Fen was completely enraged. The smile on her face disappeared instantly and her tone became sharp: "Yang Qingyan, don't refuse a toast. I know you are close to Mu Nanhe and he listens to you now. If you know your place, you can help my daughter say a few good words in front of him and promote this marriage. Naturally, you will get the benefits."
As she spoke, she took out a business card from her bag and waved it in front of Yang Qingyan, "See, as long as you are willing to leave Mu Nanhe, the position at Beijing City Hospital is yours. This is an opportunity that many people dream of. You have to think it through."
Yang Qingyan seemed to have heard a big joke, and laughed in anger: "Oh, you really think highly of me, using this position to buy me? Do you think I care? Mu Nanhe and I are truly in love, and his feelings are not for trading, so you should give up your wishful thinking as soon as possible. Also, your daughter is clinging and making trouble, that's her problem, not only do you not educate her, but you also come to lobby me and want to use money to hit me. If you are so capable, why don't you teach your daughter what self-respect and self-love are, and don't chase after others all the time, embarrassing others."
