"Tuo, wait until she comes back and I'll persuade him."
Cui Jing told Cui Xuezhi what happened and quickly left with an umbrella.
Cui Xuezhi's face was grim, and her eyes seemed to pierce the air. Yang Liu, holding the child, didn't dare move forward. When Dong Dingbang returned, she anticipated a huge fight between the two. She immediately closed the bedroom door, huddled down on the kang, and covered the child's ears to prevent the heated argument from startling him.
There had been cracks in the relationship between the couple for a long time. They had only been harmonious on the surface before, but in fact they were both holding a grudge in their hearts.
This conversation was also a case of not getting along, and after just a few words, the two started arguing.
Dong Dingbang was determined to go out to help with the disaster relief. No matter how much Cui Xuezhi pleaded with him, he remained indifferent and was determined to go.
Cui Xuezhi's eyes were red with anger. She pointed at his nose and cursed, "Dong Dingbang, how can you be so selfish? The child is so young, how could you bear to abandon her and go out and take risks?"
Dong Dingbang said firmly: "I am a soldier. In the face of disaster, we should bravely move forward and meet the difficulties head-on. How can we retreat?"
"Stop spouting those high-sounding theories!" Cui Xuezhi was annoyed. "You're just trying to climb up the social ladder right now and abandon us two girls."
Dong Dingbang frowned. "What are you imagining? I married you for life and never thought of abandoning you. Don't let your imagination run wild and try to put the blame on me."
"You said I was imagining things, but why don't you consider me and my grandma, mother and daughter? Fighting floods is so dangerous. If we are caught in the flood without paying attention, we will never be able to come back. By then, you will be a glorious martyr and you will be great, but my grandma and I will be left alone, what will we do?" Cui Xuezhi couldn't help crying as she spoke.
Her face was covered in tears, and her voice was filled with sobs: "Your father made your mother a widow, and you and your brother orphans. Are you going to make me and my sister widows and orphans too?"
"Dong Dingbang, don't leave. I don't want to be a widow."
Dong Dingbang's forehead veins throbbed when he heard this, but he remained patient and coaxed her, "Xuezhi, I know you're worried about me, but I'm not just your husband and your grandparents' father. I'm also a soldier. Defending my country is my duty. The people need me, and I can't just watch and listen and do nothing. Believe me, I will do everything I can to save others and protect myself. I'll be back safely in a month at most. Please let me go, okay?"
Cui Xuezhi looked at Dong Dingbang's determined eyes and knew that he had made up his mind.
Once he has made up his mind, it is difficult for others to make him change his mind.
But she really couldn't accept Dong Dingbang leaving at this time.
The baby wasn't even three months old, and her body hadn't recovered from the birth yet. If Dong Dingbang left at this point, what would she do if something happened? Who would help her solve the problem?
Cui Xuezhi cried and hugged Dong Dingbang's arm, begging him: "Dingbang, please don't go, okay? I know you have your own ideas, but this time it's really too dangerous. Grandpa is still so young. Please don't go for grandpa's sake. We can find another opportunity to establish ourselves in the future. As long as my uncle is still here, he will definitely propose..."
"Stop talking."
Dong Dingbang was annoyed by Cui Xuezhi's crying, but even more annoyed by her stupidity.
Yang Liu, who worked as a nanny at home, was listening in the inner room. She was talking so openly about asking her uncle, Commander Liang, to help him. Wasn't this clearly telling people that he would use the backdoor in the future?
Although he thought so in his heart and wanted to do so, he couldn't say it out loud and let others hear it!
Just keep it tacitly understood. If you tell it out loud, it will be a hidden danger and a handle. Do you understand? ! !
Dong Dingbang cruelly pried Cui Xuezhi's hands apart and said coldly, "I've made up my mind to leave. You don't need to persuade me anymore. Stay at home and take care of the children. I will come back safely."
Cui Xuezhi asked desperately, "Is there really no room for turning back?"
In response to her, Dong Dingbang walked out of the house without looking back.
Cui Xuezhi stood at the door in a daze, not coming to her senses for a long time.
Yang Liu heard some noise outside, carefully opened the door a crack, and looked out. Seeing that Dong Dingbang had left, she came out of the bedroom holding the child.
Seeing Cui Xuezhi's sadness, she softly comforted her, "Xuezhi, don't worry. Fighting the flood isn't as dangerous as you think. The death rate isn't high, only about one in a thousand. Captain Dong has a broad forehead and large ears, and you can tell at a glance that he's a blessed man. He'll definitely come back safely."
Cui Xuezhi was angry. Hearing this, she gritted her teeth and said, "Who's worried about him? Damn Dong Dingbang, he just knows how to piss me off every day! I wish he'd die out there!"
"Pooh, pooh, pooh. God, don't blame me, God, don't blame me!"
Yang Liu stamped her feet on the ground and advised Cui Xuezhi, "Xuezhi, don't say that! Even if you're angry, you can't say such angry words!"
Cui Xuezhi's eyes were red as she said, "But listen to what he said. I didn't let him go because I was worried about his safety. I did it for him, but he didn't appreciate it and even pried my hand hard. Look, he pried my fingers red."
"He's definitely wrong." Yang Liu tried to reconcile her, "Husband and wife shouldn't hold grudges overnight. Wait until he comes home tonight and then you can criticize him."
"I must say he is."
Cui Xuezhi held her breath, thinking about how to tell Dong Dingbang when he came back in the evening and ask him to apologize to her. However, when the evening came, Dong Dingbang did not come back at all.
He only asked the soldiers in his camp to come to his home to get two sets of clothes, and then left the base overnight with the third flood relief convoy.
Cui Xuezhi was so angry that she had no place to vent it. She took a nap and her voice was hoarse when she woke up the next day.
Cui Xuezhi didn't need to breastfeed and could take medicine. Yang Liu advised her to go to the hospital or clinic to get some medicine, but it was raining outside and Cui Xuezhi didn't dare to go out.
The accident happened to her on a rainy day. Since then, she has developed a fear of rainy days. On rainy days, she only wants to stay indoors and never step out of the house.
"Maybe it was a little cold last night and I caught a cold. Make me a bowl of ginger water and I'll be fine after drinking it."
Cui Xuezhi was reluctant to go out, so Yang Liu persuaded her and listened to her. According to her request, she used half a piece of ginger, chopped two spoons of brown sugar, and boiled a bowl of ginger sugar water for her to drink.
