"Xiao Chao," Cheng Jin said helplessly.
"Uncle knows you're upset. If we don't want to acknowledge it, then we won't."
Let's not talk about whether he's right or wrong. Of course, he's definitely not a good father, but as a former soldier, he can still distinguish right from wrong in the most basic sense, right?
With his skills and vigilance, he has plenty of ways to avoid being discovered, even taking someone with him wouldn't be a problem, we all have to admit that, right?
He knew that what he had done was unforgivable, so he asked to be sent to the most difficult place for reform as a way of atonement. He never intended for us to know.
Who knew it would be such a coincidence that it ended up here, and the child even saw it? Otherwise, we would have really thought he had already sacrificed himself.
Cheng Chao remained silent for a while, then calmly began to recount the story of the wild boars coming down the mountain from Liujiatun. Cheng Jin immediately stood up.
"That was so dangerous? You asked for leave that night because of this?"
"Um,"
Cheng Jin slammed his hand on the table in anger.
"You've got some big ideas now, haven't you? You didn't tell me about something this big. How long are you going to keep it from me? Is the child's injury a small matter? Why didn't you take him to the hospital? Are the two boys scared?"
I paced around in circles for a while, but I couldn't stay still any longer.
"Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense. I need to see for myself how you kids are all so daring!"
"What are you looking at? Who dared to offend you again?"
Upon seeing Lin Zhengde enter, Cheng Chao also stood up.
"Commander."
On the same night, some were happy while others were sad.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, villagers are preparing for the holiday. Thanks to the wild boar battle, the villagers will be able to have a good New Year this year. Jian Dan's family received various mountain products, eggs, winter vegetables, and even some freshly distributed meat from the villagers. There is more than enough for the sisters to have for the New Year.
Everyone was busy, and even the simplest household was not idle.
After lying in bed for several days, she took the bitter medicine every day without fail, and the effect was quite good. The burning sensation in her chest had faded a lot, and the redness and swelling on her back had subsided considerably. However, the bruises were much clearer, which was quite glaring on her fair back. Mingzhu complained about it every time she saw her.
The two children were even more heartbroken; just seeing a little bit of darkened skin brought tears to their eyes.
As the person involved, Jian Dan didn't feel anything special. After all, she had suffered much more serious injuries in her previous life, so this was nothing. This kind of injury was considered a minor one, and she wouldn't easily leave the battlefield.
In the past few years since she transmigrated, although the environment has been somewhat harsh, she hasn't really made herself suffer much. She hasn't been too harsh on others and is pretty much the same as everyone else.
But only she knew that her food, clothing, and daily necessities were not much worse than in her previous life, but she was still very comfortable, which made her much more spoiled than in her previous life. After being pampered for so many days, she still giggled and laughed whenever she moved.
"Look at your brother, how thoughtful he is. You're enjoying life ahead of time."
"Haha, right?"
Mingzhu came with Li Yan this time, saying they bumped into each other at the entrance.
After resting for more than a month without going out, Li Yan's complexion was a little better than when she was first discharged from the hospital, but her body was still very weak. She looked like she could be blown away by a gust of wind when she walked, a stark contrast to her previous energetic self.
Mingzhu and Jian Dan both seemed a little uncomfortable, while Li Yan laughed freely.
"You don't need to do that."
I've come to terms with it. You know, in that situation, even if the child had survived, with my current physical condition, and Jianguo working himself to the bone, earning only a few work points a year, what kind of good life could I provide for the child? Wouldn't he just suffer along with me?
Leaving early was a relief for him.
She said she had come to terms with it, but the sob in her voice was still very obvious, and her eyes were glistening with tears.
Needless to say, the child had been connected to her by blood for seven months in her womb, and was the hope that the couple had placed in their future. They must have been secretly looking forward to having a family of three. This unexpected disaster was no less than a parent outliving their child.
The perpetrators received their due punishment and compensation, but the scars on the couple's hearts will never be forgotten.
Simply clap your hands,
"Sister Yan, you're right to think that way. It's a bit cold now. Once the weather warms up after the New Year, you should go out more often. It's really stuffy inside this house."
"Look at me, it's only been a few days, and I can't even stay in bed anymore."
His pitiful expression made Li Yan's lips curl into a slight smile, but she quickly straightened her face.
"You're one to talk! I was terrified when I heard that. You're really something else, thinking you're invincible?"
"No, no, Sister Yan,"
"I shouldn't have said these things. Last time, I was really grateful to you, otherwise I don't know what would have happened."
You have no idea how desperate I was back on the mountain.
He just dragged me along the ground, it was cold and painful. Later, I lost all feeling in my body. When I heard your voice, I thought I was hallucinating.
When we got back, we realized that we were lucky to be alive this time, so why ask for so much more? Living well in the present is enough.
"Although this is a bit sad, I think it's true. It's not just you, it's us too."
Who knows what will happen tomorrow? Does worrying about it today even if we know it will rain or be windy tomorrow do any good?
Besides, we still have to live with fear all day, so we might as well just live life as usual, eat when we're hungry and sleep when we're tired. Life is about living it.
Li Yan went home and told Chen Jianguo what to do. Chen Jianguo nodded silently, then tore the letter he had just received from home to shreds.
“That’s right, life is something you have to live. We’re not relying on anyone else. We’re both able-bodied, and I refuse to believe that life will always be this hard.”
"right!"
When only the two of them were left, Mingzhu brought up Li Yan's matter.
"After they had the accident, Chen Jianguo woke up and asked someone to help him call and send telegrams to both families. This is a big deal. Even if they are far apart, sending greetings can bring them some comfort."
As a result, the call was answered once, and when I heard that both of them were hospitalized, they stammered and then I couldn't reach them when I called again.
They didn't reply to the telegrams, so the two of them started writing letters. Dongfang said they'd been receiving letters these past few days, but judging from the situation, it was clear they hadn't said anything of concern. Look at Li Yan's expression; she didn't look happy at all.
"Sigh, neither of them is favored at home. Do you think they still have any hope for their family now?"
Mingzhu also felt a little sad; she had never experienced the feeling of being the least valued among those who were favored.
"Everyone says that even the five fingers aren't all the same length, but these two families aren't even five fingers long, they're worlds apart!"
