Her bedroom was packed with people—leaders from the county, the commune, and the production brigade—all looking at her with eager anticipation.
Even if I still had doubts just now, I now know what happened.
Her vision went black again.
"mom"
Qiao Wanyue handed her a bowl of spiritual spring water and made her drink it.
“Yunzhou, he…” Lu Rong’s voice was choked with sobs.
"Yunzhou's mother, please accept my condolences." The captain's voice was somber as he offered words of comfort.
Everyone comforted Lu Rong and told him to take it easy.
Lu Rong closed her eyes, and the image of her son could still appear in front of her. Just a few days ago, she had dreamed of her son. She told Yun Zhou that Wan Yue was a good girl and that when he returned, Wan Yue could go to join the army.
How could such a thing happen?
Lu Rong wasn't sure if she believed it, but the facts before her forced her to. Suddenly, Qiao Shanshan's words flashed through her mind: Yunzhou was dead, and the entire Lu family was gone. She had originally thought that was Qiao Shanshan's excuse for not wanting to marry Yunzhou.
On the eve of the wedding, Qiao Shanshan suddenly married Yang Huaiyuan. Did she already know that Yunzhou would meet with misfortune? If Yunzhou died, and their family still had their eldest son, then the entire Lu family would suffer misfortune, except for the eldest son.
Under what circumstances would the eldest brother die? The most likely scenario is that something happened to his wife and children, specifically the eldest brother's wife and Xiao Hui!
Ignoring his grief, Lu Rong grabbed Qiao Wanyue's sleeve and asked, "Where is your sister-in-law?"
"Lu Heng took her to the hospital."
"Hospital? What happened to her?"
Qiao Wanyue whispered in her ear, "My sister-in-law might be pregnant. My brother told her to go to the hospital for a check-up first. The house is in too much chaos right now, and it wouldn't be good if something happened."
Lu Rong breathed a sigh of relief.
The county leaders only came to visit the hero's parents and wife. They told them to tell the organization if they had any difficulties. Lu Yunzhou was a great hero who sacrificed his life for the country, and they would meet the family's requests as long as they were reasonable.
Lu Rong didn't make any demands, but simply mentioned that she wanted to bring her son back.
These are things that county leaders can't decide on their own; they need the military region's approval.
The military region quickly responded that Lu Yunzhou had been buried in the martyrs' cemetery, and his family could visit to pay their respects.
Although Lu Rong wanted to bring his son back, his son had already been buried in the cemetery, and it was impossible to move his son out.
After much deliberation, she decided to visit her son's cemetery to pay her respects.
The question then became who Lu Rong would go with.
As a man, Lu Yunqi felt obligated to accompany his mother on her long journey, especially since Yunzhou was his younger brother.
But when Sister-in-law Lu returned, she brought a list that dispelled his idea.
"Brother, my wife is pregnant, but the baby's position is a bit dangerous." Lu Heng relayed the doctor's words to his elder brother.
Although Sister-in-law Lu looks strong, she was actually not well-fed as a child and suffered from malnutrition. Her health was damaged when she gave birth to Lu Hui. This second child came too early and would threaten her life if he were born.
They need to plan ahead, as the older the child gets, the more dangerous it becomes.
Qiao Wanyue never expected that even after giving her sister-in-law so much spiritual spring water, she still couldn't save the child's life.
"Get rid of it," Brother Lu said decisively.
Sister-in-law Lu kept her head down and didn't say a word.
