Chapter 467 Kneeling
Cheng Qiao took out the space water and fed it to Li's mother, but Li's mother's lips were tightly closed, so she could only wet the gauze and apply it on Li's mother's lips.
"Uncle, why are you here?"
Cheng Li was so tired that he felt sleepy, but he felt someone approaching the ward. He opened his eyes hard and saw that it was Li Bing who came back. He immediately greeted him in a low voice.
Cheng Qiao and Li Bing both turned their heads and saw Li Bing standing at the door of the ward. His face was not only dusty but also filled with immense guilt. He was the one who harmed their mother and he had not fulfilled his responsibilities as a son.
"Brother, you are here. Have you eaten yet? Would you like some?"
Li Huan pointed to some simple porridge and rice beside the bed, and Li Bing nodded. He was indeed hungry, but he did not eat first. Instead, he asked everyone present and only started eating quickly after learning that they were not hungry.
Li Huan waited until Li Bing finished eating before pouring him a cup of tea. After he drank the water in the cup in one gulp, he guessed hesitantly:
"Brother, did something happen to you?"
Li Bing nodded, told Li Huan what Qin Daqiang said, and then asked Li Huan for his opinion somewhat embarrassedly:
"Brother, what if, what if the higher-ups ask me to retire from the army, I will have no choice but to return home."
"Is it not possible to change jobs?"
"From what I heard from the brigade commander, it might be a little difficult. Ye Chengying is under a lot of pressure right now. My future is ruined, and I don't want to trouble Ye Chengying anymore."
Cheng Qiao's heart trembled. Ye Chengying was an outstanding person in both IQ and EQ. All his pressure was because of him.
Some people above them took a fancy to Cheng Qiao and wanted her to serve them, but Ye Chengying insisted that Cheng Qiao belonged to the country and the army, and with her around, the soldiers would feel confident.
Cheng Qiao began to ponder, perhaps what the sloppy uncle said was right, only if she joined the special department, those who wanted to take advantage of her would no longer be able to interfere, and Ye Chengying's life would be much better.
Li Huan didn't know what Cheng Qiao was thinking, but he guessed something. He couldn't help in any way, and he didn't know how to comfort Li Bing. He could only seek truth from facts and said:
"Brother, you left home to join the army when you were young. You have worked hard these years. If you really can't be demobilized, you should go home. Now there are only mother and Chengcheng registered in the family."
"I know that I've failed as the eldest brother. Everything in the family is supported by you and your sister-in-law. If I take my wife and son back now, it would be like sitting back and enjoying the fruits of my labor."
Li Bing thought of the newly built house, and all the furniture and daily necessities in the house were newly purchased. It was obvious that they were the result of careful arrangement by Cheng Qiao and Li Huan.
"Brother, you're not right. Lele and I were raised with your allowance. In a sense, you've already played the role of a father. Now that you're in trouble, of course we'll help you."
Li Bing felt warmed after hearing this. All his efforts over the years were rewarded. At least his brother was a man with a conscience.
Li Le also ran over and sat next to Li Bing. In fact, she didn't have many memories of this elder brother, but her mother kept repeating in her ear that the elder brother would send his allowance back every month.
"Brother, this is not your fault. The worst person is the eldest sister-in-law's mother. I don't know what's wrong with her. She always keeps staring at the second sister-in-law. The second sister-in-law doesn't owe them anything. Is she mentally ill?"
"Le Le, I'm sorry, it's all because of my brother's incompetence..."
After hearing this, Li Le didn't know what to say. His eldest brother always took the responsibility on himself. It seemed that his eldest brother would not divorce his eldest sister-in-law, but how would they live in the future if they didn't divorce?
"Le Le, I've already inquired about it. Yuan Qin will probably be sentenced to a heavy sentence this time. If I fail to change my job, I'll go back to my hometown. It doesn't matter where I live."
Li Bing felt sad when he talked about returning to his hometown. From now on, he would leave the army, his comrades and the familiar environment.
At the same time, I also yearn to go back to my hometown. I heard from Guoqing that every household in Xiangyang Village now raises pigs and farms. The grain produced two seasons a year is enough to feed the villagers, and when the pigs are sold, it will be a considerable income.
So the current Xiangyang Village is completely different from the Xiangyang Village when Li Bing left. Even Loach, whose family is in the worst condition, has built a brick house and drives a tractor.
The three siblings were all thinking about their own problems, and the scene was a little quiet for a while. Li's mother on the hospital bed seemed to have heard Li Bing's voice, and her eyelids twitched violently. Cheng Qiao hurriedly took out a silver needle and gave her mother an injection on her Ren Zhong point.
Mother Li felt a pain in her philtrum and finally opened her eyes. She saw Cheng Qiao holding a needle in her hand and knew that it was her daughter-in-law who saved her.
"What a coincidence! Is Li Bing here?"
Li's mother's voice was very soft, but Li Bing had good hearing, so he stood up immediately, walked to Li's mother's bed, and his legs went soft, and he knelt down in front of Li's mother's bed with a plop.
"Mother... your son is so unfilial."
Cheng Li shuddered. This sound was painful to hear. His uncle was too honest. He knelt down as soon as he was told to do so, and he knelt so...honestly.
"Son, I don't blame you. This is your mother's fate. If you can get through this, you will live a long life. If you can't, there is nothing you can do."
"Mom, you will definitely be able to survive. With Cheng Qiao and us here, you can rest assured."
Li Bing knew Cheng Qiao's medical skills. He looked at Cheng Qiao with pleading eyes, "If you can save my life, please save my mother's life too."
"Brother, Mom's life will definitely be saved, but her physical condition will be much worse than before. For a long time to come, Mom will have to rest."
"Leave it to me. I promise to serve you well."
After hearing this, Mother Li became anxious. If she fell ill, she would become a burden. What would happen to her son and daughter-in-law? They all had their own jobs and families. How could they have so much time to take care of an old woman like her?
"Mom, you've always said that raising a son is a way to support you in your old age. Now is the time to do that. Just eat and sleep peacefully. When you feel better, go and chat with your neighbors."
"How can it be so good? The children at home are still so young, especially you. One son is not enough. We have to have two more."
"Then mother, you should take care of your health first. When I have another son, you can help me take care of him."
Li's mother was happy to hear this, but when she thought of her mother-in-law Yuan Qin, she couldn't help but worry about Li Bing. It is said that a harmonious family brings prosperity, but what should she do with a child in such a family?
"Bingzai, Chengcheng must be scared today. I kept hearing him crying. I was anxious, but my hands and feet wouldn't obey me. It was useless to be anxious. Where is the child now?"
"Mom, don't worry, Chengcheng is fine. Meili is with him. Meili was supposed to come, but her father and Chengcheng are both feeling unwell. She said she would come early tomorrow morning."
