"Anyway, Mingchuan did save me. When Qingqing was in confinement after giving birth, I asked my grandfather and my father to come over first. I'll have to make some time these two days to go there myself."
Meng Xiao did not say how serious the injury was. Since Ye Mingchuan himself did not want to make them worry, it was not convenient for him as an outsider to say much.
"Mingchuan is a kind and honest kid. It's okay, don't take it too seriously. I think Mingchuan has recovered and is full of energy when he returns to the team."
The Ye family is really open-minded. Even if it is not a fatal injury, it is still a gunshot wound.
But although they feel heartbroken, they also understand their children's character and patriotism better.
Even if it was a nobody or an ordinary person, he would still choose to save them without hesitation. The reason is simple, because he once said that he is a member of the People's Liberation Army. He is a soldier.
"This child is so adorable. I don't even want to give him back to you." He Yu teased the child and talked to Gigi Lai with her head tilted.
"This is also your Ye family's child." Shen Ping's words stunned the Ye family, and they all looked up at him with questioning eyes.
Only then did Shen Ping realize that they didn't know about that matter yet. He was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and felt a little embarrassed.
As if he had found a topic now, he took a sip of tea and then said leisurely, "Mingchuan is the godfather of these two children. Do you think these children belong to the Ye family?"
He Yu, who had been urging him to speak quickly, was dumbfounded. He suddenly cried out, "Ah!"
"Old Shen, are you serious?"
Shen Ping nodded in her expectant gaze.
"Okay, okay."
The old man said three good words in a row, his expression very happy, "Let's become closer!"
Ye's father was also smiling.
"Old Shen, we've become grandparents now, but you're still grandparents!"
"Oh, if you hadn't told me I wouldn't have noticed this!"
Most of the time they were chatting and talking about family matters. Meng Xiao and Shen Qingli were not talkative people, so they just listened with a smile, and only spoke when asked a question or two by their elders.
Knowing that they would not be having lunch here, the Ye family still warmly invited them to stay, but isn't that how social interactions work? Even if someone is not having lunch here, at least they should be polite.
They are in the system and of course they know that it is not a good place to be late in such a strict discipline, not to mention that they use the provided car.
Shen Qingli and Meng Xiao breathed a sigh of relief when they got into the car: "Aunt He is still so welcoming. She used to like to invite me to her house for dinner."
"It's not good for everyone to leave. It would be the same if my parents stayed to eat."
Meng Xiao drove the car to the door of Shen's house and honked the horn. Aunt Liu, who was sitting at the door waiting for them, locked the car and got in directly.
As soon as she sat down, she took a baby from Shen Qingli's hands. Just now, Shen Qingli had no choice but to hold the child in one hand and dared not move.
Aunt Liu took one away, and she immediately felt much more relaxed.
I can't help but sigh, what would she do without Aunt Liu? As a new mother, she must be busy every day.

"You little girl, why are you dragging me? I have to hurry home to cook for the kids! I'm innocent and you're accusing me of stealing. I don't want to live anymore."
Meng Kexin was pushed by the crying woman and staggered, and people around her helped to blame her.
When had she ever been so humiliated? When had she ever been so wronged? She gritted her teeth, swallowing back the tears that were about to well up, and just kept holding on to the man in front of her.
"I saw you stealing. I was counting the goods, and you stole a bar of soap! It was right in your pocket!"
A trace of panic appeared on the woman's face, and her eyes rolled around:
"You are wrongly accusing me. I have done everything right and have never stolen anything. Little girl, you are not the one who stole the country's property and are wrongly accusing me, are you?"
As she spoke, she struggled violently and was about to leave. She couldn't linger any longer. If she continued to argue with this man, someone would be able to find out whether there was soap or not just by touching her.
She had to leave quickly. It was such bad luck that she was caught stealing today. What a stubborn little girl! Couldn't she just pretend she didn't see anything and let her take it?
It's not her own thing, why be so picky!
Meng Kexin now hated herself for being afraid of hard work and fatigue. Why did she refuse to learn a few moves from her grandpa and uncle? Now she is in a passive position!
This afternoon she was the only one working at the supply and marketing cooperative, without even a helper. She chased after the woman and held on to her:
"Fellow villagers, you all know me working here. Please help me check her pockets or report her to the police. Thank you..."
Before he could finish his words, his arm was pinched by that person, who looked ferocious.
"Let go! I didn't steal anything!"
"You let me search your pockets!"
Although Meng Kexin was not as big as this person, she was not someone who would be bullied. When this person dared to pinch her, she grabbed a piece of soft flesh on the inside of the woman's arm and twisted it hard.
The woman screamed and grabbed Meng Kexin's hair, cursing:
"How dare you pinch me, little bitch!"
Meng Kexin felt pain and reached out to grab her hands and arms, but was slapped in the face.
She gritted her teeth, unable to break free from the woman's hand that held her hair. She twisted, pinched, and grabbed the woman with all her might, grabbing whatever her hand found.
You dare to slap her, damn it, she has never been slapped in her life!
Her scalp was torn so hard that it hurt. She wondered if this person was about to pull out her hair and scalp together. It hurt so much!
Everyone has a kind of bloodiness. The more you hit me, the harder I will hit you back.
The clothes were thin in the summer, and she was dragged to the ground. Meng Kexin became furious, endured the pain of her scalp being pulled, and bit the woman's waist.
"Ah! Help! It's biting me to death!"
Her shrill screams echoed, accompanied by the taste of blood in Meng Kexin's mouth. The onlookers finally knew to lend a hand, but unfortunately, the woman wouldn't let go, and Meng Kexin wouldn't let go either!
"Little girl!"
Jiang Chengyu rushed out of the car. He saw that the road was blocked and was about to ask the driver to take another route.
Unexpectedly, in the midst of the crowd, he saw the little girl who always smiled being beaten!
