Chapter 143: Spending a Night by the Grave



Tan Jun sighed, "With a father like this, the Yu brothers are doomed."

Speaking of the Yu brothers, Ye Linxing also felt sorry for the two children.

The children are good, but they are no match for their father.

He said angrily, "He might as well just sacrifice himself."

After all, if he died, the army would posthumously confer him the title of martyr and give his children a pension. If Zhou Qingqing abandoned the children and remarried, there would be many people willing to adopt the two children.

What's happening now is purely a mistake for the child and Zhou Qingqing.

He pinched his brows, feeling somewhat helpless, "Does Yu Shengli have any relatives in his hometown?"

"I have relatives."

As Yu Shengli's immediate superior, Tan Jun was well aware of his situation. "But their relationship is very bad. I estimate that the two children will have a hard time in the future."

Ye Linxing was truly helpless. He would be willing to lend a hand to someone else, but although it was a pity for the Yu brothers, he was unwilling to lend a hand.

If his wife had not arrived in time, he and Xiao Ding would have had their bodies buried on the island.

You could say he was just venting his anger on others or was cruel, but he just couldn't be soft-hearted towards his brothers.

His eyes were filled with dejection as he murmured, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have underestimated human nature. If only Yu Shengli and I had swapped our missions, Xiao Ma and the others wouldn't have died."

Tan Jun didn't like to hear this, and he couldn't stand seeing Ye Linxing taking the responsibility on himself.

"What does it have to do with you? It was just an emergency. The biggest fault lies with Shengli."

He was furious when Yu Shengli was mentioned. "He's been on the battlefield and has been in the army for so many years. He's always afraid of fighting, but he did it at this critical moment. You and Xiao Ding's mission is more dangerous than his team's. If he had chosen to escape, you wouldn't have died and you could have made a contribution."

"It's a blessing in disguise that you and Xiao Ding are able to return safely this time."

"You and Xiao Ding should both thank Comrade Xiao Jian."

Thinking about how Jian Yuelan had taken the fishermen out to sea alone, and how she had somehow found them, Tan Jun couldn't help but laugh and cry. "Her sixth sense is truly outrageous."

Ye Linxing smiled, "We are in perfect sync."

"Don't show off. The first thing you should do after you can get out of bed and walk is to call the old man and his family to let them know you're safe."

After a pause, he said, "The old lady dreamed that something happened to you, and she called me like she was asking for your life."

"You didn't calm him down?"

Ye Linxing got anxious when he heard this, and tried to get up to make a phone call. Tan Jun quickly stopped him when he saw him. He wanted to hit him, but he suppressed his anger and said, "Behave yourself. The old man and the others have been appeased."

The price he paid was that he was scolded by the old man.

"Are you really appeased?"

Ye Linxing didn't believe it. Seeing Tan Jun nod, he was silent for two seconds and said decisively, "Let my wife call grandpa and grandma later."

"That's fine."

It’s the same if the granddaughter-in-law comes forward as if the grandson comes forward.

"I'll ask someone to talk to Xiao Jian later."

There was no need for that, because as soon as Jian Yuelan came out after taking a shower and changing into clean clothes and held her son, who had lost a lot of weight, in her arms, the old man urged her to call her grandparents to report that he was safe.

Then, Jian Yuelan took the child and went to make a phone call.

After some twists and turns, Grandpa's voice came from the other side -

"Ye Lizhe, who is this?"

"Grandpa is me."

The old man was stunned for a moment, "It's Zhizhi,"

Before she could reply, he said, "You brought Xiaoye back."

Affirmative sentence, not interrogative sentence.

Jian Yuelan was still thinking about what to say, but when she heard this, she suddenly had no idea.

She hummed, "I brought him back."

"Is the injury serious?"

“······”

"Tell the truth, or your grandma will cry in front of you."

The threat was a bit harsh, but the key was that the old lady chose to cooperate.

She grabbed the microphone and said, "Granddaughter-in-law, grandma has prepared the handkerchief."

The old lady was as well versed in the art of threats as ever.

Jian Yuelan was embarrassed. "Don't cry. I won't hide it from you two elders. I have six injuries, but the problem is not serious. My father is watching him."

In fact, it is quite serious. According to her father's judgment, Ye Linxing's injuries cannot be completely healed in two or three months.

The two elders didn't know the details, but when they heard that Mr. Jian was staring at them, they felt relieved.

"Did you go to the hospital?"

"No, in the army infirmary."

The old lady said "oh", and just when Jian Yuelan thought that she was going to have a warm conversation with her, she unexpectedly scolded her in Beijing dialect.

He scolded her for being tactless, for not caring about her own safety, and so on. His speech was so rapid and fast that she had no chance to interrupt. She could only listen to the scolding with "hmm" and "ahh". Only when it was almost done did he dare to beg for mercy, "Take it easy, Doudou is here."

"Come on, say hello to Grandpa and Grandma."

She quickly passed the microphone to the kid's ear to divert the attention. The little baby, who had lost a lot of weight, immediately held the microphone with his chubby hands and started babbling with the person on the other end.

It was a conversation that was completely different from what they were talking about, but both parties had a very pleasant time.

Jian Yuelan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Just chat, as long as you don't scold her."

Five minutes later, Doudou, who had lost interest in the microphone, ended his conversation with his great-grandparents, and Xiaopang pointed outside the door and wanted to go out.

"Grandpa and grandma, do you two have any other instructions?"

"No, you guys take care of yourself, don't let us two old guys be helpless."

"Okay."

Jian Yuelan readily agreed, "You two elders, please feel at ease. We will make sure that we will not cause you and grandma any unrest in the future."
