Chapter 468: Li Bing Retires
"No need to come over. The child is important, and so is her father. You should go back. Qiao, you and Huanzi should go back too. I have Lele here, so that's enough. Go back quickly, and don't tire yourself out."
Mother Li started to chase them away. She knew very well how hard Li Huan and Cheng Qiao worked, so she decided to let them go back and have a good sleep. Besides, Huanzi still had poison in his body.
Cheng Qiao really wanted to go back. She didn't know whether her father and master had eaten at the guesthouse. She took Li's mother's pulse again. Although her pulse was weak, it was not life-threatening. She took care of Lele for a few words and took the children back.
Early the next morning, Jiang Meili cooked a large pot of medicinal porridge and brought Jiang Hua and Li Cheng to Li's mother's ward. Jiang Meili put the pot down and knelt beside Li's mother's bed.
Li's mother was anxious and wanted to help Jiang Meili, but she was powerless. In the end, Lele pulled Jiang Meili up and said in a somewhat unfriendly tone:
"Sister-in-law, my mother can't bear your kneeling. It's not your fault. Why are you kneeling to my mother?"
Jiang Meili's face turned embarrassed. Her mother had harmed her mother-in-law, so shouldn't she apologize to her mother-in-law on her behalf? Why was Lele so unhappy?
"My dear daughter-in-law, please wake up. This is a new society. You can't do this."
Mother Li spoke again, her voice was already a little breathless. Jiang Meili was startled and quickly stood up. She scooped another bowl of medicinal porridge from the pot, walked to the bed and sat down:
"Mom, Cheng Qiao and I learned how to cook medicinal porridge. I'll serve you a bowl and feed you."
Mother Li had difficulty eating. She didn't know what Cheng Qiao had given her to eat, but she never felt hungry. Her stomach and heart were always warm, making her feel very comfortable.
The only bad thing is that she has no strength left in her body. She needs Lele's support when going to the toilet, and even gets a little out of breath if she talks too much.
"Sister-in-law, don't pretend to know something you don't. Medicinal porridge is also divided into different groups for different people to eat. You don't even know my mother's current condition, and you keep talking about medicinal porridge. What on earth do you want to do?"
"Le Le, don't be rude to your sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law is also very filial and beautiful. Le Le is also like this because she loves me. Don't pay attention to her. Where is Bingzai? Why doesn't he come over?"
"Mom, the little troublemaker called Li Bing away early in the morning, saying that the brigade commander wanted to see him."
"Do you know what it is?"
"I don't know. I went home early in the morning and cooked porridge. Li Bing was watching Cheng Cheng in the hospital. When I came back, my dad said that the little troublemaker had called Li Bing away."
"Oh, how is your father-in-law's health? Chengcheng, why do you look so bad?"
"Grandma, I was sick too. I had a nightmare about being locked in a place without a cage. I couldn't see anything and couldn't get out. I was so worried. It was Dad who rescued me."
"Those who survive a great disaster will be blessed in the future. My family, Chengcheng, will have abundant blessings in the future."
"Grandma, what is blessing and how can we have it?"
Mother Li was stunned. Everyone knows what blessing is, but she really couldn't say it when asked. Jiang Hua came over, touched Li Cheng's head, and asked him to sit aside, as he was not pleased to disturb his grandmother's recuperation.
"Mother-in-law, I apologize to you on behalf of my whole family for the suffering caused by Yuan Qin's madness. I will also pay for your medical expenses and nutrition expenses."
"Hey, father-in-law, these are all unexpected things. My son has already paid for the medical expenses and the nutrition expenses are not good. You should keep it for yourself."
Looking at Jiang Hua's gray hair, Li's mother sighed in her heart, he is obviously much younger than her, but he has suddenly aged so much, oh...
"No, I've already bought it. You can eat it first, and I'll buy you something else you like."
"Father-in-law, I really don't want it. I know your conditions well. You still have a son to raise."
Li's mother really doesn't want Jiang Hua's things. When he runs out of money, she will ask Meili for them. Meili has even quit her job, so in the end it will all fall on Li Bing.
Jiang Hua's face turned red instantly. He actually didn't want to ask Meili for the money. At most, he wanted to borrow from a colleague and pay her back after getting his salary next month. However, it was well known that Meili subsidized her parents' home, even Li's mother knew about it.
"Dad, take Chengcheng to get the injection first. Chengcheng needs to get a fever-reducing injection today. You can take him home after the injection."
Jiang Hua quickly put down the nylon net bag in his hand. In the bag there was a can of malted milk, a can of canned fruit, and half a pound of White Rabbit milk candy.
Li Cheng was unwilling to do so. He didn't want to go back, especially to his grandparents' home. What if his grandmother got sick again and would stab him to death?
"No, I don't want to go back, I will die, I want to stay with grandma, I don't want the injection, the injection will hurt my butt, grandma, save me..."
Li Le was unhappy. Li Cheng was his eldest brother's only son, but he was scared by the Jiang family and didn't even dare to go home. This was too much.
"Chengcheng, come here, let auntie hold you. If Chengcheng doesn't want to go back, just stay here and accompany grandma with auntie."
"Aunt, I want to accompany grandma, please don't send me back."
Li Cheng held on to Li Le's clothes tightly while secretly glancing at Meili. He didn't want to make his mother unhappy, but he was really scared.
"Mom, I didn't bully Chengcheng. I'm her mother and I won't abuse Chengcheng."
Jiang Meili's forehead was covered with sweat. If her mother-in-law thought that she was abusing the child, her marriage with Li Bing might really be over.
"Mom knows that Chengcheng was frightened yesterday. Just let him play here. When Cheng Li and the others come back later, let him play with them."
"Grandma, is Brother Li Ming coming?"
"Come on, you like Brother Li Ming the most, right?"
"Well, Brother Li Ming will protect me."
"Then let Brother Li Ming take you to get the injection later, otherwise Brother Li Ming will think you are a coward and won't play with you anymore."
"This...Okay, I'm not a coward. My second uncle said that I'm the son of a hero, and I will be a hero in the future."
Li Bing, who was recognized as a hero by his son, sat opposite Qin Daqiang with an expression of indescribable fatigue and disappointment on his face.
Because of Yuan Qin, Li Bing was completely expelled from the army. The soldiers could not tolerate an ungrateful and crazy murderer like Yuan Qin, not to mention that the person she wanted to kill was Cheng Qiao.
So Yuan Qin was not only locked up, but also treated as a spy and subjected to severe torture, including Jiang Hua and Jiang Meili, but it was not their turn yet.
Li Bing avoided suspicion because Qin Daqiang guaranteed him and he was not at the garrison at the time. However, it was impossible for him to stay in the army or to transfer to civilian work.
But Li Bing was still a battalion commander after all, and he had made many military achievements. However, because of a Yuanqin, all his achievements were exchanged for a retirement pay of 8,000 yuan in total.
