Chapter 513: A Hero's Amputation



In fact, Zhang Jidi also thought about this problem. She didn't mention it to save the child's father's face, and planned to talk about it in the room later.

As the old saying goes, a man teaches his son in the hall and teaches his wife by his bedside. She can also talk to her husband well.

Xiang Mianmian had always known her parents' concerns, so she simply went along with it: "It will have an impact, right? She's my uncle's daughter. A regular checkup wouldn't be a big deal, but a confidential unit should..."

She spoke hesitantly, observing Xiang Hongqi's expression, and finally slowly fell silent.

The political review only checks three generations of direct relatives, usually parents, spouse and children. Even if her uncle commits a crime and goes to jail, it may not necessarily affect her.

What’s more, she is a cousin who I haven’t lived with since childhood?

But Xiang Mianmian resented the ridiculous behavior of Old Lady Xiang. The brother Xiang Liming who died in vain as her mother said was innocent, and Xiang Yaoyao had also pushed her and hit her head.

If we don’t make things difficult for Xiang Yaoyao and the others now, when will we?

So he spoke vaguely, leading Xiang Hongqi to think that he would be implicated.

The Xiang family fell silent again. Xiang Hongqi's expression changed several times before settling on a determined, "Mother, give me some money. I'll go to the newspaper office and put an advertisement in the newspaper to sever the marriage!"

He had known before that there was an emotional dispute between Xiang Yaoyao and Jiang Shengtian. Although he was ashamed of his niece having a lover while married, it was a moral issue and there was nothing wrong with saying a few words about it.

Neighbors who know each other well all know that Xiang Hongqi and Xiangjia Village have not had any contact for 20 years and the two do not interfere with each other.

When talking about marriage, he won't care about these things, and it won't cause any trouble to his family.

But now Wu Xiaoqian revealed that Xiang Yaoyao was an enemy spy, which has already affected their family's career prospects. It's too late to continue kissing.

Even Jiang Shengtian's position was under scrutiny, and Xiang Hongqi didn't dare to gamble on whether the future of his daughter and son would be affected.

My son is a little better. At most he can't participate in some confidential missions. Maybe he's safer.

My daughter is different. She finally got a job in a confidential unit thanks to her superb skills, but ended up not being able to display her talent because of the ridiculous political review. How can this be acceptable?

When Xiang Hongqi thought of those geniuses in history who were unable to display their talents and died in depression, he wished it would be dawn right now.

Zhang Jidi took in his expression and said with some embarrassment, "Then...should we return the monthly filial tribute? Giving money after the relationship is severed, how can that be called a severance?"

This involves a practical issue.

It was easy to break off the relationship by publishing an advertisement in the newspaper, but a secret investigation revealed that Xiang Hongqi still sent 20 yuan to Xiangjia Village every month, which aroused even more suspicion.

Isn't this a real-life version of the story of covering one's ears and stealing the bell? How can you believe that the two families have severed their relationship by asking others to investigate?

Xiang Hongqi was stunned. A scale seemed to appear in front of his eyes. On the left were his biological mother and Xiangjia Village, who had raised him for more than 20 years and had countless happy childhood memories with him.

On the right is his wife Zhang Jidi, followed gradually by Xiang Liguo, Xiang Meimei, Xiang Lidang, Xiang Lihua, Xiang Lili, Xiang Mianmian...

Life is split into two halves, the front end is the childhood of parents, and the back end is the future of children, both of which are inseparable.

Xiang Hongqi's eyes gradually turned red, and his throat felt like it was clogged with cotton. "No, no, I won't give it to her. I've raised her for 20 years, and I've already paid off my debt."

Among the four sons, even though the third son Xiang Hongwu died early, the eldest son Xiang Hongwen and the fourth son Xiang Tiezhu have the obligation to support him.

Just a rough calculation, Xiang Hongqi received a pension of more than 4,000 yuan. No one in Xiangjia Village received a higher pension than him, and it was also one of the best in the county.

For an old lady in the countryside, who doesn’t have big expenses, five yuan a month is enough, not to mention that he only has 20 yuan a month?

If anyone wants to accuse him of being unfilial, he should first show the pension he gives to his parents. If it is more than 4,000, then say anything.

Seeing that he was still immersed in the pain of abandoning his past, Zhang Jidi, his mother and daughter looked at each other and felt very happy, but did not say it.

If Mrs. Xiang was a kind mother-in-law/grandmother, how could they not support her?

The family is not short of money. Everyone is working and we collect rent from the house. We have enough money and it is not difficult to support an elderly person.

But among all the things that Old Lady Xiang did, was there any one thing that was beneficial to Xiang Hongqi's family?

Even if agreeing to split the family was considered a good thing, it was Xiang Tiezhu who assisted him. Xiang Hongqi even paid 20 yuan a month to escape from home.

Now he is paralyzed in bed, and the granddaughter Xiang Yaoyao he raised is still causing trouble for Xiang Hongqi's family. It's really enough.

Xiang Hongqi was raised by Old Lady Xiang since he was a child. It is normal for him to be reluctant to let go of his past after receiving her love and care.

These people had never received any benefits from Old Lady Xiang, but they decided to do this because Xiang Hongqi had to support his parents.

It’s great that I can get rid of it now with a clear conscience.

Xiang Yaoyao was previously charged with treason and treason, and Xiang Hongqi's act of breaking off relations with his family can be said to be a case of it being difficult to be both loyal and filial since ancient times, so he was right to choose to be loyal to the country!

Xiang Lili rarely made a fuss. She thought it was good enough that her father had woken up, but she must not say anything careless and awaken her father's motherly love.

She looked at Xiang Mianmian again and felt that good things would happen to her youngest sister as soon as she returned home. She was really a lucky little star.
