After sending this telegram, Zhang Xinlan felt as if all her strength was drained away and she almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, Su Qingyun was quick to grab her.
The three of them could only help the distraught Zhang Xinlan go back home. After arriving home, the three of them looked at her worriedly.
Li Xiulian: "Xinlan, don't overthink it. Congwen must be at school."
"Yes, sister-in-law, let's not scare ourselves." Qin Ying also comforted.
Although they said so, they all knew in their hearts that it was very likely that Congwen had gone to the battlefield, otherwise, why would he leave home in such a hurry.
Zhang Xinlan didn't say a word and returned to her room silently. Her back looked extremely lonely and sad.
Li Xiu Lian and Qin Ying looked at each other and saw the worry in each other's eyes. They sighed softly. What if Congwen really went to the battlefield to fight?
"What are you all doing standing here like idiots?" Wu Guixiang and Su Dalin, who had gone out to visit friends, came back and asked in surprise when they saw the three people standing in the house.
Li Xiu Lian and Qin Ying turned around, wanting to say something but stopping themselves.
"What's going on?" Wu Guixiang was even more puzzled. She looked over and said, "Where's the second son's wife? It's already so late, why hasn't she made dinner yet?"
"Inside the house."
"What are you doing in the room? Call her out." Wu Guixiang frowned. "I'll go call her."
"Don't." Qin Ying quickly pulled her back. "Mom, didn't you listen to the radio just now?"
"What broadcast? I didn't listen carefully. Who could remember all the long broadcasts?" She and Su Dalin were chatting happily with someone just now and didn't listen carefully to what was said on the radio.
Li Xiulian's face was filled with worry. "Mom, there's a war going on outside. Congwen...Congwen might have gone to the battlefield."
Fight? Go to the battlefield? Wu Guixiang was stunned. After a long while, her body trembled. Su Dalin, who was smoking, choked violently.
"What? What did you say? Congwen went to the battlefield?" Wu Guixiang didn't want to believe it. "How could that be? Didn't he go to school?"
"It's not certain yet. We sent a telegram to Congwen's school. If they reply, then it means no. If they don't, then..." Li Xiu Lian only said half of the sentence, but everyone understood what she meant.
If there is no reply, then it is very likely that Congwen has followed the troops to the battlefield.
"My second sister-in-law couldn't stand it anymore and went back to her room. Let her be quiet for a while." Qin Ying said.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Wu Guixiang slumped down in her chair and muttered, "Congwen is still a student. How could the country let him go to the battlefield?"
Su Qingyun lowered her eyes. Her second brother was a student majoring in combat command, a type of talent that was very much in demand on the battlefield. She also remembered that many new recruits and cadets were mobilized in this war. The young people rushed to the front to defend their country, while more troops stayed behind, vigilant against other countries taking advantage of the situation.
Su Dalin frowned, deep furrows formed between his brows, and his body trembled slightly. "Congwen is a student, but he is first and foremost a soldier."
"If the country asks him to go, he will definitely go." Su Dalin spoke these words slowly, his voice a little hard, as if he had used up all his strength to say them.
In the past, he was indeed proud of having a grandson who was a soldier, but now that he actually knew that his grandson was on the battlefield, he felt a different mood. Pride and honor were no longer important. He just wanted his grandson to be safe and not get hurt or have any accidents.
"Why are you going?" Wu Guixiang suddenly raised her voice, "That's a war! There are so many guns and cannons. If I were to go to war, if I were to..." She couldn't go on. There was a faint cry in her voice and tears fell.
This was the first time that everyone saw Wu Guixiang crying so emotionally. They felt bad and were worried about Congwen. For a moment, no one spoke in the room.
"Mom and Dad, come and see our harvest today. There's a pheasant that just froze to death."
"There was also a rabbit digging a hole. Ai Min and I caught it."
When the three brothers of the Su family returned home with the prey they had harvested today, they saw this silent and frozen scene.
The smiles on the three people's faces froze and they looked at everyone strangely.
"What's going on?" Su Aimin approached his wife.
Qin Ying frowned, not knowing what to say.
Su Aimin looked up and saw Wu Guixiang's red eyes. He was shocked. What happened? Even his mother, such a strong and brave woman, was crying.
Su Aiguo and the Su Ai Party were also confused and at a loss as to what to do.
Su Aimin's eyes turned around and landed on Su Qingyun. "Yunyun, tell me, what happened?"
Su Qingyun slowly raised his head and looked at his second uncle, Su Aidang. "Second uncle, Uncle Fu said on the radio this afternoon that our country and the Kingdom of Yue have gone to war, and there is a battle on the border."
"The army has dispatched a lot of troops, and my second brother... my second brother may have gone too." She finished this sentence with difficulty.
"How could this be?" Su Aiguo widened his eyes.
Su Aimin's pupils shrank as he realized the seriousness of the matter.
When Su Aidang heard this, he instantly staggered. He licked his lips and shook his head in disbelief, "No, Congwen won't go, he won't go..."
He kept repeating this sentence.
"It's all your fault!" Zhang Xinlan suddenly rushed out of the room, her eyes red as she roared at Su Aidang, "When he wanted to join the army, I told him I didn't agree! But you insisted on letting him join the army, and you colluded with me to hide his registration, saying it was up to him and asking me not to interfere with his choice!"
"Well, the war has begun! Your son has gone to the battlefield! You're just saying useless things here, but Congwen is facing those guns and cannons and other things." Zhang Xinlan was almost hoarse, "I'm telling you, Su Ai Dang, if anything happens to Congwen, I will never forgive you!"
