While Mrs. Li and Old Man Tong were submitting their evidence, Shen Congji and Dongying worked together to find the person who had contact with Tong Xin at lightning speed. They wiped out several enemy spy strongholds headed by Tong Xin and caught them all in one fell swoop.
This incident caused a sensation in the entire base.
First of all, the people who reported Tong Xin turned out to be his biological parents.
This is not something that most people would be so cruel as to do.
Some people think they are too cruel, while others think they are righteous.
Secondly, no one expected that the biggest enemy spy would be Tong Xin.
He is not just an officer, he has also been promoted to the position of deputy brigade commander!
As for why they betrayed their country, it all comes down to it being about money.
When the house was searched, two boxes of gold were dug out from where Tong Xin lived.
This is a wealth that many people will never get in their lifetime. Even Liang Su, when he saw it, had to say that it was no wonder that Tong Xin was shaken.
"If it were you, would you?" Liang Su asked.
Shen Congji chuckled, "No."
Liang Su pouted, "So determined."
Shen Congji pinched her little face, "It's not determination, but meaninglessness. Susu, he has wealth, but in this position, he dare not use it at all."
With such a large sum of money, he only needs to take out a small amount to improve his life.
But Tong Xin didn't dare to do that because he might be targeted at any time.
He may not have the chance to touch the money until he steps into the coffin.
What’s the difference between money you can’t use and scrap metal?
Liang Su suddenly realized, "That's right, and it's too unscrupulous. I still prefer to earn my own money."
Shen Congji smiled and kissed her cheek. "What we earn is enough to live a good life. Tong Xin has wealth, but he has to live in fear every day, so he may not be happy."
Rather than money, he wants to live with dignity and a clear conscience.
If the country is not successful, how can there be a family?
He understands better than anyone the principle that no eggs will remain intact when the nest is overturned.
After resolving the matter, Wei Yufeng took Tong Fei back to the city.
Everyone then realized that her marriage to Tong Xin was a fake one.
Wu Na muttered, "My family paid a contribution, I don't know if we can get it back."
Aunt Tian praised Wei Yufeng for her courage and said, "I am narrow-minded, but Yufeng's vision is not that bad."
Liang Su smiled bitterly: "It's not that my aunt is narrow-minded. No one would have thought that Tong Xin would be such a person."
Wu Na exclaimed, "That's right! But his parents are really cruel. They even killed their own son."
Liang Su's eyes turned cold. "Aunt Wu means, if your child commits treason in the future, will you choose to protect him?"
Aunt Wu was speechless and mumbled, "What are you talking about?"
"Nothing much. I'm just asking what you would do if you were in their shoes. Aunt Wu, the Tong family knows better than anyone that this is cruelty, because if they don't, they will lose the interests of the country. They know better than anyone that national interests are above all else. Similarly, they are more heartbroken than anyone else. What qualifications do you have to accuse them of cruelty from a bystander's perspective?"
Liang Su's words hit the nail on the head, making Wu Na feel so ashamed that she wanted to cover her face and crawl into the crack.
"I just said it casually, and you are judging me."
Aunt Tian said with a stern face, "Whether you meant it or not, you can't say such things. You're stabbing someone in the heart."
Wu Na said embarrassedly, "I know."
Just a casual remark was enough to make so many people judge her.
Mrs. Li and Old Man Tong decided to leave the base.
Tong Xin's house will be reclaimed and given to the next family accompanying the troops.
Before leaving, they asked to see Tong Xin for the last time.
After learning that it was his parents who reported him personally, Tong Xin hated them and refused to see them.
But the last time, he probably knew that this was the last time he would see his parents.
The reluctance in his heart prompted him to meet her.
In just a few days, the old man seemed to have aged ten years.
If I hadn't always been in good health, I might not have been able to get through this.
"Why? I'm your biological son. I just want to ask why. Why did you betray me?"
Mrs. Li didn't answer him, but kept on talking: "We will live with Yufeng in the future. We will take good care of Tong Fei and watch him grow up... I don't know if we will have that fate. You don't have to worry about these things outside. Just accept the judgment of the army. Tong Xin, you didn't stay with your father and me for long. You were only nineteen when we sent you to join the army. Then you took the wrong path and we didn't find out in time. We are so sorry for you."
Tong Xin's eyes were red. The reluctant farewell when she joined the army, the oath she took on the first day of joining the army, and her comrades who lived and died together, all flashed before her eyes like a movie.
He didn't know when it started... started...
"I'm doing this for you, I'm doing this for Tong Fei! That money is enough for him to squander for the rest of his life!"
Old Man Tong grabbed the pipe and slammed it hard on the table. The pipe broke into two pieces and veins popped out.
"Then have you ever asked Tong Fei if he's willing to have a father who betrayed his country? Is he willing to squander all this dirty money earned at the cost of treason? Tong Xin, without a country, how can there be a home? Where is the home?"
Tong Xin, a grown man, cried like a child in there.
Wrong, he was wrong.
Mrs. Li wiped her tears and said, "Old man, let's go."
Tong Xin looked at their backs and truly knew that this separation would be forever.
"Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong, I was wrong!"
But neither of them looked back and walked forward firmly.
This was the beginning, and there was no turning back.
Tong Xin doesn’t have it, and neither do they.
Some mistakes can be corrected once they are made.
Some mistakes should never be made again.
Shen Congji and Liang Su were waiting outside, and when they saw them come out, they hurried forward.
"Uncle and Madam, we will take you back to the city."
Mrs. Li sighed, "Liang Su, thank you."
Liang Su knew that they were in a bad mood, so he didn't say much and asked them to get in the car.
And so, we arrived in the city in silence.
Wei Yufeng and Tong Xin didn't have much affection for each other. If we really had to talk about their feelings, there was of course more hatred.
Wei Yufeng only feels happy that he has come to this day.
She quickly returned to her normal life and continued to run the stall.
Mrs. Li gave her the army compensation and said, "Save it and give it to Dafei later. Don't just think about making money. Pay more attention to your lifelong happiness. I think Dongying is a good place. Hurry up and get married. You can have another child at your age."
Wei Yufeng said: "They might get married, but he said that Tong Fei will be the only child and he won't have any more."
Mrs. Li was startled. "Did he tell you that?"
Wei Yufeng nodded. "He said that as long as there are two children, it's impossible to be truly fair. Of course, the palm and the back of the hand are both made of flesh, but the palm has more flesh than the back. For Tong Fei, he doesn't want children and gives all his attention and love to Tong Fei alone."
