Ni Yuan, who was standing by, finally couldn't hold back anymore, stepped forward and spoke slowly.
"The two elders should learn to cherish Yin Yunjie's efforts. He has worked hard all these years. When the family was divided, he did not take anything from the family. He even promised to provide regular support, five yuan a month. Which elderly person in the village can enjoy such treatment?"
"As his former boss, I can testify that this young man practically risked his life to support his family. How could that meager subsidy alone be enough to cover his expenses?"
Ni Yuan added that although there are subsidies for military life, the amount depends on personal merit.
If he had not taken risks many times to complete missions and accumulated great military exploits, how could he have earned such an income?
Finally, Ni Yuan said with great force: "People should always have a conscience."
These words were like adding fuel to the fire, and Old Man Yin jumped up immediately.
There was a hint of helplessness in her anger: "Conscience? We raised him with great difficulty, and you still think we have no conscience? What do you outsiders know?"
Behind the words, Old Man Yin had mixed feelings in his heart, which outsiders could not understand.
Without Yin Yunjie's subsidy, the days ahead will be extremely difficult and agonizing.
Although Yin Xiangyang has accumulated a considerable amount of savings over the years.
But faced with Yin Xiangyang's bottomless illness and high medical expenses, those savings always seemed to be stretched.
Before the family split up, he could still rely on his status as an elder to force Yin Yunjie to bear the financial burden.
However, once the family property was divided, nothing was left except the symbolic five dollars.
Wanting Yin Yunjie to pay out a penny again is undoubtedly pinning hopes on a pipe dream.
Xu Qinghe, the new daughter-in-law, is not someone who can be easily fooled.
Everything that happened today has clearly demonstrated this.
Old man Yin was filled with remorse, almost to the point of regretting his actions.
Just yesterday, he was carefully planning how to present himself.
He tried to make Yin Yunjie gradually forget the idea of splitting up the family, even at the cost of a huge sum of money.
A sumptuous banquet was prepared in an attempt to win people's hearts.
The result was a complete failure.
Ni Yuan, standing by, didn't fully understand the source of Old Man Yin's frustration and said bluntly, "As a parent, raising children is a matter of course. Why worry so much about personal gains and losses? Yin Yunjie has supported this family for many years, and his efforts deserve to be met and respected."
In fact, according to age, Ni Yuan should respectfully call Old Man Yin "Brother".
But Old Man Yin's previous behavior was so difficult to accept that he simply omitted the polite address.
Old man Yin originally wanted to argue in his heart and wanted to say that Yin Yunjie was not his biological son.
It was not easy to raise him over the years, but reason finally stopped him from saying these hurtful words.
He could only sit there with an angry look on his face, sulking alone.
Xu Qinghe saw through Old Man Yin's feigned grievance. She thought for a moment, "Dad, you can't say that. We're from the same village, so who doesn't know each other's situation? Yin Yunjie started working in the fields when he was only eight or nine years old, and he gave all the work points he earned home. Later, when he joined the army, he never stopped sending money home. Everyone saw all this, didn't they?"
"Dad, we need to be reasonable. We can't just focus on the efforts we've made for the family and ignore the hard work and sacrifices of others. If you're so biased, people who don't understand the situation might think there's really no blood relationship between you and Yin Yunjie."
Xu Qinghe spoke gently with a smile on her face. Although her tone seemed to be negotiating, every word she said touched Old Man Yin's heart, causing everyone present to nod in agreement tacitly.
Yin Yunjie glanced at Xu Qinghe, surprised at her knowledge of his past experiences.
At the same time, a warm feeling welled up in my heart.
Xu Qinghe's words inadvertently blew away the misunderstandings and prejudices that had accumulated in the hearts of the onlookers for many years.
"Old Yin, think about how harsh you were to Yin Yunjie back then. In the cold and snowy winter, you only let him wear thin clothes and go up the mountain to chop firewood and hunt. He was only ten years old at that time, but you were warming yourself by the fire at home, and even pushed the youngest child out. You should still remember such things, right?" someone sighed.
As soon as these words were spoken, more villagers stood up and listed the unfair treatment that the Yin family had shown to Yin Yunjie in the past.
The expressions of the Yin family members became extremely complicated.
Under the stern gaze of the village director, they dared not move.
After the banquet, everyone dispersed one by one and went home.
Before leaving, Ni Yuan gently patted Lu Baichuan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Young man, I never thought you had to endure so much hardship back then. Fortunately, now you have finally found happiness. Your wife is truly a rare and good partner. She stepped forward at the critical moment and protected you from the storm. In the future, I hope you and your wife will live a good life and your life will surely become more and more prosperous."
"I will keep this in mind. Today, I am grateful for your help, Captain."
Yin Yunjie was sincerely grateful. He knew very well that if one day in the future he could no longer stay by Xu Qinghe's side, he would still need the care and help of these fellow villagers.
These thoughtful words are like a ray of warm sunshine in winter.
In the past, whenever they were about to embark on a mission fraught with danger, Ni Yuan would habitually repeat these instructions to Yin Yunjie.
There was never a hunch that one day...
These caring words were actually used for Yin Yunjie's elderly and weathered parents, which makes people sigh at the impermanence of life.
"Don't worry." Yin Yunjie's answer was concise and firm.
After watching the backs of Ni Yuan and his group gradually disappear from his sight, Yin Yunjie turned and walked into the house.
Start packing your luggage.
Outside the door, Xu Qinghe was accompanied by her grandmother.
Standing quietly, a pair of bright eyes seem to be able to see through everything.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting patches of light on them.
Xie Di couldn't contain her dissatisfaction and walked forward with a bit of sarcasm: "Little girl, your methods are really very clever!"
Zhu Yunxiu was extremely anxious when she heard her granddaughter being insulted like this.
His voice trembled slightly with excitement: “How can you talk like that!”
Xu Qinghe moved lightly, gently but firmly blocking her grandmother's way. "Aunt Xie, I've seen your abilities. You might as well give yourself some more confidence."
"You...!" Xie Di was choked by this sudden counterattack and was burning with anger.
His eyes seemed to be spitting fire. If his gaze could be turned into a sharp sword, Xu Qinghe would have been riddled with holes long ago.
At this moment, Yin Yunjie approached and said, "Auntie, I won't live here anymore. I hope you won't cause trouble for my wife, otherwise I won't let it go."
After saying that, Yin Yunjie and Xu Qinghe stood on the left and right.
Carefully supporting Zhu Yunxiu, the three of them slowly walked through the Yin family's gate, leaving behind a determined back.
