Mother Xu didn't know how her always obedient son could become like this, but she was really frightened by what Captain Xu said. She was most proud of her two sons. Later, when her eldest son died, she felt that her world had collapsed, but fortunately, her youngest son also joined the army, and he was even better than her eldest son. However, she was also influenced by her eldest daughter-in-law's thoughts, thinking that her youngest son's success today was all thanks to her eldest son. If it weren't for her eldest son, he wouldn't even be able to be a soldier, so this was something the youngest son owed to the eldest son.

Captain Xu continued, "Mother, you have offended too many people here. My little darling is used to it, and it will affect the relationship between me and other comrades, so you should go back. You can come to see your son next time you miss him."

Seeing her son's attitude improve, Xu's mother immediately said, "I didn't plan to stay here permanently. I just came to see you. Dabao will go back with me in a few days, but Xiaobao must stay here. I heard that the schools in the army are better than those outside. Xiaobao must study here."

Captain Xu wanted to say something, but his mother said, "Xiaosheng, you owe this to your elder brother. Without your elder brother, you wouldn't be where you are today. You were promoted to the position of battalion commander because of your elder brother's kindness, so you can't be ungrateful."

Captain Xu was stunned when he heard this. He had never thought that his mother would say this, and he had never thought that his mother would think this way. Although he was not by her side these years, wasn't the money he brought home enough for his mother to live a good life? His wife also took care of her on his behalf. Captain Xu's heart sank: "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do."

Xu's mother said, "That's right. You have to take good care of Xiaobao and the others on behalf of your elder brother."

Captain Xu said sullenly, "I plan to retire. Since mother said that I got my position because of my elder brother, I will retire. I have been a soldier for ten years. In these ten years, I have given half of my salary to my elder sister-in-law and paid you money every month. In your mind, all this is due to my elder brother. You should know that my elder brother's pension was only 500 yuan. If we don't take the pension, we will get a chance to enlist. To put it bluntly, I only owe my elder brother 500 yuan, but I have paid more than 500 yuan to my elder sister-in-law in these ten years."

Mother Xu: "You...you..."

Captain Xu looked at Xu's mother and said, "Don't worry, even if I retire and go home, I can still support you by working and earning work points." Then he went into the room.

Xu's mother quickly grabbed him and said, "No, you

You can’t do that, you have to be a soldier.”

Captain Xu turned around and said, "My eldest brother died on the battlefield. You want me to join the army and die on the battlefield. Will you be happy?" Captain Xu's words were heartbreaking. Mother Xu really loved Captain Xu. This was her son. How could she not love him? However, Captain Xu knew that if he did not put some pressure on his mother, she would always think that he owed his eldest brother. However, he never thought that he owed his eldest brother. To be realistic, he only owed his eldest brother this 500 yuan consolation money, but he had already paid it. But based on the brotherly feelings, the eldest house was the eldest brother's family after all, so he was willing to continue to take care of them. But this was not a reason for them to suck blood from him.

Captain Xu is a rational person, otherwise he would not have thought of giving up pensions and recruiting more soldiers. He was not even 20 years old back then, but his brain worked so fast. Now he is almost 30, how could he be dumber than he was back then?

Mother Xu took Captain Xu's hand and let it go while trembling. Her eldest son had died on the battlefield, which made her feel heartbroken. If her youngest son died on the battlefield as well, then she...

Captain Xu said, "Mom, you stay at home and take care of the family, and your son works hard outside. Isn't that a good thing?"

Xu came out of the room. She also heard what was said outside. She opened the door and said, "Mother, let me say something unpleasant. If you were not at home, who knows what my sister-in-law would do with the money my husband gave her over the years. Besides, you have had men before. Can you endure being a widow for ten years?" After saying this, she went back to the room.

Captain Xu: “…” His wife’s words were truly vicious.

Xu's mother was also shocked. She had a good relationship with her eldest daughter-in-law in recent years because she was very filial to her and no one was trying to sow discord between them. In the past, Xu would not do such a thing. To be honest, before the second child was knocked away, she had a good relationship with Xu's wife, so she would not try to sow discord between them. But when the second child was knocked away, she felt something was wrong. This coincidence made her suspicious, but she had no evidence. So she left her hometown and joined the army, avoiding Xu's wife and two nephews from a distance, but she did not expect that Xu's mother would come with her two nephews.

Xu knew very well that Xu's mother would never think of letting her nephew study here, so she affirmed the idea of ​​Xu's wife. In this case, let's fight together. Of course, it also depends on her man's opinion. If her man doesn't stand on the side, she alone will be useless. But just now

After hearing some of what her man said, she felt she could speak.

Mother Xu was stunned when she heard this. At this time, she did not think about Xu's instigation of discord. She thought of what Sister-in-law Xu said before coming to the army. Could it be that the eldest daughter-in-law persuaded her to bring her eldest and youngest grandsons to the army for... The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed to her. Mother Xu could not sleep that night.

the next day

Xu got up energetically. Seeing the dark circles under her mother's eyes, she said, "Mom, I've thought about it carefully. If the school in the army is better than the school in our village, why didn't you come to the army when Dabao was studying? Instead, you waited until Xiaobao was studying before coming here. Is that good for Dabao? After all, Dabao is the eldest son and grandson. You can't treat Xiaobao better than Dabao, right?"

Xu Dabao had already gotten up. When he heard these words, his eyes flickered. No matter how good brothers are, they will turn against each other when it comes to interests. Moreover, those who would hit the baby in their aunt's belly have no moral values ​​and are selfish.

Xu's mother frowned. It was the eldest daughter-in-law's idea to send the child to the army to study. Why did she bring it up now? Could it be that the eldest daughter-in-law really had a man?

Mrs. Xu added, "In my opinion, my daughter-in-law is an outsider after all. The half of the salary my husband sends home every month has to be taken by you, mother. If I give it to my eldest sister-in-law, who can guarantee whether it will be given to Dabao and Xiaobao in the future? But if it is given to you, mother, it will definitely be given to Dabao and Xiaobao in the future."

Xu Dabao also believed this. His grandmother was so kind to him, and everything she had would definitely be given to him in the future. But what about his mother? If she remarried, what would she do if she took the money back to another family?

Xu continued, "In my opinion, you should not worry about anything. You should stay in your hometown and take good care of the two children. Give all the things you have to Dabao and Xiaobao. We in the second house will not want them. You should train the two grandsons until they graduate from high school. It will take a few more years for them to graduate from high school. By then, your son will definitely be able to get promoted. After that, wouldn't it be good to find a job for Dabao and Xiaobao as a worker?"

Mother Xu: “…” She didn’t think that far.

Xu: "But, military promotion is also related to family. If the family is in a mess and there are many problems, it is impossible to get promoted. Moreover, if something happens to the family and the reputation is not good, there is no hope for promotion."

Xu's mother thought that if her eldest daughter-in-law cheated on her husband and followed another man, it would be bad for the Xu family's reputation and would also be bad for her youngest son.

There is an impact.

Xu: "When I think of my two unborn children, I feel sad. Sometimes, I really want to ask the army leaders to help me investigate the matter of the children. How can it be so coincidental that every time I get pregnant, the child will be knocked out by Xiaobao."

In fact, Xu's mother also had doubts about this matter. Of course, she also wanted her youngest son to have a baby as soon as possible. Later, Xu's two children died in succession, and she also felt that it was too coincidental. However, she did not want to doubt her grandson. One was a living grandson, and the other was just a piece of meat. It was clear who was more important without comparison.

Hearing that Xu wanted to ask the army to investigate, Xu Dabao, who was secretly following the instructions, was shaken. Although it was Xu Xiaobao who hit someone, he was the one who had a fight with Xu Xiaobao, so if there was an investigation, he would also be involved. Back then, his mother said that everything in the Xu family should belong to them, and if the second aunt gave birth to the child, then the child would take away the things that belonged to them, so she asked them to knock the child away. But he was four years older than Xiaobao, so it would be bad to let him hit someone, so Xiaobao was asked to do it.

After hitting two children in a row, Xu Dabao was scared, especially when he saw his aunt bleeding a lot. Now he heard his aunt say that they would ask the army to investigate, Xu Dabao was even more scared, and was afraid that he would be locked up if they investigated. Thinking of this, Xu Dabao didn't want to live here anymore. After all, Xu Dabao came from the countryside and was spoiled by Xu Dasao. He had little experience and didn't know that such things could not be investigated. The army and the army had a great influence on him. He had a feeling of being omnipotent, so Xu Dabao didn't think about the problems that could not be investigated.

After saying this, Xu went to the army cafeteria to eat alone. It was impossible for her to serve meals to them.

As soon as he walked out of the door, Captain Xu came in with a basket. He said to Xu flatteringly, "I've bought the food. Let's eat at home."

Xu glanced at him and walked back.

After dinner, Xu said, "I'll go to Captain Xiao's house to take a look."

Captain Xu: "There may be no one at Captain Xiao's house. Yesterday...didn't Captain Xiao's wife say she wanted to take her brother to the hospital yesterday?"

Xu: "Let's go and take a look first."
