The Cheng family's hall fell into a state of depression. Everyone had a bad premonition in their hearts, but no one dared to say much, let alone think too much. They could only wait quietly for Xinyi to wake up. As long as she woke up, the truth of everything would be revealed.
"Mom, it's almost dark, why hasn't my sister-in-law woken up yet?" Cheng Haoting couldn't help but ask.
"How about I ask Uncle Gao to come over and take a look?" Cheng Haoyang suggested.
Before Cheng Dayu could respond, he heard a scream from the inner room. Everyone immediately gathered over and saw Zheng Xinyi sweating profusely, suddenly sitting up from the kang.
"Sister-in-law, are you okay?" Cheng Haoting sat beside her and asked in a worried tone.
"Water, I want to drink water." Zheng Xinyi grabbed her arm and called out.
"The water is here, the water is here." In the blink of an eye, Cheng Haoyang had handed over the cup of water.
Zheng Xinyi took the cup of water and drank it all in one gulp. Suddenly, she felt sober and looked around: "Where am I?"
"Sister-in-law, this is our home!" Cheng Haoting said, holding her hand.
"Home? I'm home?" Then he looked around: "Where's Ai Yu? Where's my child?"
"The child is here." Zhang Fengrong quickly brought Ai Yu in his arms to her.
Seeing Ai Yu safe and sound, Zheng Xinyi's heart finally settled down.
"Xinyi, what happened? Why did you come back from thousands of miles away with the child in your arms? Where is Haoyu?" Cheng Dayu asked.
"Yes! Sister-in-law, our family has written many letters to you recently, but we haven't received any reply from you. We are all worried to death." Cheng Haoting responded.
"Dad, Mom, something happened to Haoyu." Zheng Xinyi responded seriously.
Zhang Fengrong and Cheng Dayu looked at each other and suddenly felt like a bolt from the blue had struck them.
"What happened to my son? What happened to you in the army?" Zhang Fengrong was a little excited and was shaking while holding Xinyi's arm.
"Haoyu died in the battlefield." Zheng Xinyi knew that she could no longer hide the truth, so she had to tell the truth.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Fengrong fainted on the ground.
"Mom, Mom." Cheng Haoting and Cheng Haoyang called out repeatedly.
"Sister-in-law, are you sure that brother is dead? Don't say such things casually." Cheng Haoyang frowned and asked.
At this moment, Cheng Dayu was completely dumbfounded. He felt his center of balance was unstable and took a few steps back.
"Dad, let me help you sit in the hall for a while." Seeing that things were not going well, Cheng Haoyang reached out to support Cheng Dayu and took him to sit on the bench in the hall.
Cheng Haoting stayed by Zhang Fengrong's side all the time. Zheng Xinyi knew that this would be the scene, so she had prepared herself mentally and tightened her arms around Ai Yu.
"Dad, would you like some water?" Cheng Haoyang handed him a glass of water.
Cheng Dayu waved to him gently, then frowned and sat on the stool in a daze with a painful look on his face.
Cheng Haoyang slowly put down the water cup, feeling sad and helpless. This blow was really too heavy for their Cheng family.
"Second brother." Cheng Haoting walked out from the inner room and called softly.
Cheng Haoyang came back to his senses, looked up at Haoting, and asked, "How's our mom?"
"He's awake, but he refused to say a word and even kicked me out." Cheng Haoting said with red eyes.
