That's the front line! Some people yearn to fight and serve their country, while others are afraid of death and retreat.
Li Wei feigned illness and did not travel with the main force. His superiors knew this, but the situation was urgent and they couldn't care less about him.
Li Zhenhua was busy attending various military conferences and had no time to worry about his son.
Moreover, in his view, as a soldier, obeying orders and following commands is a matter of course.
Both of his sons are soldiers. Even though he worries about their safety, he feels proud as a father if his sons can go to the battlefield to fight for the country and the people.
Yu Huimin was naturally worried about her son. When she learned that war had broken out, she immediately wanted to contact him, but she couldn't reach him. So she could only rush to ask her husband.
But at that time, she couldn't even see her husband, Li Zhenhua, or get any news about her son. She was terrified and didn't want to die.
Li Wei secretly called his mother from the hospital to tell her that he hadn't gone to the front lines. Yu Huimin was overjoyed and told her son to make sure he pretended to be sick.
Neither the mother nor her son expected the war to end so quickly.
Moreover, fire cannot be contained in paper.
After Li Wei's leader returned from the front lines, he was saddened by the loss of his subordinates who had gone to the battlefield and never returned.
When he went to the hospital to visit his subordinates who were wounded or disabled in the war, he found Li Wei, who was perfectly fine but had been feigning illness and staying in the hospital for more than a month. He was so angry that he almost pulled out his gun and shot Li Wei.
If someone hadn't desperately stopped him, Li Wei might not have even seen the sun rise tomorrow.
This time, the leader didn't care about Li Wei's background at all and directly reported the matter to higher authorities.
Pretending to be sick and not going to the front lines is desertion, a serious crime.
This is far too sensitive, especially since the war has just ended and everyone is still mourning the dead and praising the heroes.
This attack went directly to the Capital Military Region.
After all, it was only through Li Zhenhua's connections that his youngest son was able to get in.
If something happens to Li Wei, someone will naturally notify him.
When Li Zhenhua first heard this, he almost thought he had misheard.
After confirming repeatedly that it was indeed his youngest son who had accomplished this great feat, he immediately wanted to rush to his son and beat him to death.
Li Wei was almost fired by his boss, but after being rescued, he quickly called home for help.
Yu Huimin wasn't stupid; she realized the seriousness of the matter and could only quickly seek help from her husband to resolve it.
However, she was unable to contact her husband several times, and in desperation, she had no choice but to wait for him at his workplace.
As soon as Li Zhenhua rushed out of the office, he saw his wife.
"Old Li, Old Li, don't get agitated, don't get agitated," Yu Huimin quickly stopped him.
"What are you doing here? Did that brat come looking for you?"
Seeing her husband like this, Yu Huimin felt even more that this matter should not be underestimated.
Li Zhenhua's bodyguards, fearing that their leader might do something outrageous in a moment of impulse, together with Yu Huimin, first took him into the office.
After all that effort, Li Zhenhua was also quite tired.
Seeing that he had calmed down, Yu Huimin gave the guard a wink, and the guard immediately went out and closed the door behind him.
"Old Li, I know you're angry, and I'm angry too." But she wasn't angry at all; she was just angry that her son wasn't careful enough and got caught red-handed.
“But Xiaowei is our only child. Are we really going to abandon him and watch him die?” She had already asked. Once the charge is established, her son will be imprisoned for many years, even if he is not executed.
She had already wasted two years in prison; how could she bear to ruin her son's life in the prime of his youth?
Li Zhenhua was well aware of all this, but he was just too angry.
He thought that his youngest son had spent two years in the army, and even if he wasn't as outstanding as his older brother Li Huai, he had at least corrected many of his bad habits, such as obeying orders and going to the front lines. He never imagined that his youngest son would pretend to be sick and disobey orders because he was afraid of dying.
He felt this was even more humiliating than the last time he found out his wife was reselling military supplies.
But could he really be so selfless as to force his son to his death?
Holding his head, Li Zhenhua was utterly dejected.
Seeing his expression, Yu Huimin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She knew that her husband had compromised.
Because of the long interval, there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Li Wei was faking illness before leaving for the army, and Li Zhenhua also asked for help.
Li Wei's feigned illness to avoid going to the battlefield was thus downplayed.
After this incident, Li Zhenhua couldn't bring himself to abandon his son, but he also had no face to let his son continue to stay in the army.
Because this incident had a very negative impact, many people in Li Wei's unit were dissatisfied with him, and Li Wei could no longer stay in his current unit.
Li Zhenhua was not able to completely cover up the truth. In the end, Li Wei's unit dismissed him from the military due to the negative impact he had caused.
Although Li Wei was ultimately unharmed, the story spread throughout Li Zhenhua's compound.
Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.
Li Huai was very surprised when Zhang Yu told him about this.
Then he sneered.
This is indeed something his foolish younger brother, who refuses to admit it, would do.
It infuriates him to think about it. He and many of his comrades regretted not being able to go to the front lines, yet Li Wei had the opportunity but fled without a fight.
Not only are they stupid, they are also incredibly cowardly.
This is the beloved youngest son of Li Zhenhua and Yu Huimin; they've raised him so well.
Then there's Li Zhenhua, who first cleaned up his wife's messes and now he's cleaning up his son's messes. He really has deep feelings for this mother and son. Xi'ang finds it ironic.
He naturally knew about Yu Huimin's release from prison.
He was wary and cautious, but once Yu Huimin learned her lesson and stopped plotting against him, he wouldn't bother with her anymore. He'd just let the family love each other and torment each other.
Li Huai felt ashamed to even mention Li Wei's situation, because even if he didn't admit it, people's first reaction would be that Li Wei was a member of the Li family, his half-brother.
So when he got home, he didn't even tell his wife.
At this moment, he was also glad that he was stationed far away in the army, so that Li Wei's matter would not be known to the people in the regiment, otherwise he would be too embarrassed to face anyone.
However, there's a silver lining to Li Wei's situation.
Yu Huimin always wanted her son to go to university first, then join the army as a college student, and then inherit her husband's various resources to surpass Li Huai.
After this incident, Li Wei had no future in the military; he was completely ruined.
When Zhang Yu brought him this news, which was neither good nor bad, he also included some good news.
When he returned to his bedroom that evening, he boasted to his wife about his achievement.
"Qinglan, I bought you a house in the capital."
"What?" Zhao Qinglan picked at her ear in disbelief.
“I said, you own a house in Beijing.” He repeated with a smile.
