"I'll stay in the office. When my son comes back, we can talk again. Chu Hongtian, we're husband and wife, so don't make a scene that everyone knows. I've helped you with your reputation as a general for decades. Even though I'm a lower-ranking official, I can't compare to you. Please leave some space for me, the deputy secretary of the Party Committee. Don't pull me, let go!"
Liang Yinqiu, once a gentle and kind-hearted lady, never made any decisions lightly. Even Chu Yifeng once said to her, "Mom, you are too soft-hearted and easily suffer losses. I will never marry someone like you in the future. I am exhausted for you!"
Now that her brother-in-law is gone, she takes over and treats Chu Ci as her own son. She endures all the old lady's mischief. Liang Yinqiu, who has worked hard for the Chu family for half her life, walks out of the Chu family's door.
She didn't go to find her eldest daughter to cry, for she was afraid that her daughter would not be able to hold her head up at her mother-in-law's house. Late at night, she opened the office door, curled up on the sofa, pounding her chest, thinking about Chu Yifeng.
Downstairs, in Chu Ci's room on the second floor, Chu Ci listened to his grandmother sobbing, searching for key words. Did his brother go to the front?
No one had the energy to ask what the thirteen-year-old boy felt when he heard that another relative had gone to the front line.
…
Chu Yifeng, the main character in the dispute, set out with seven young soldiers in the early morning hours after only getting three hours of sleep. He wanted to learn from his superior, Ye Boxuan, and scout the terrain before going into battle.
What he didn't know was that this trip would make him regret for the rest of his life, and for a long time, he would often wake up from his sleep due to suffocation.
