Siheyuan, my new life

Before Qiu Zhengyi could speak, his mother said dissatisfiedly: "Sanjiang, do you mean to ignore your elder brother? Are you just going to watch him lying on the hospital bed?"

Qiu Sanjiang sighed: "Sister-in-law, if you follow the idea of ​​the boy surnamed Sheng, I'm afraid that in the end not only will you not get the life-saving pill, but you will also offend the other party even more. Big brother has already offended the other party. Do you think you can win sympathy just by blocking the door and playing misery? You are violating taboos by doing this. He surnamed Sheng has nowhere else to go, and he wants to drag you along to strengthen his momentum, but have you ever thought about whether it will backfire?"

Mother Qiu snorted heavily: "I don't care what the consequences are. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we have to give it a try. If you still recognize your eldest brother, how can you stand by and watch at this time?"

Qiu Sanjiang picked up the military cap on the coffee table and stood up: "Sister-in-law, I have come to this point. I don't want to waste my breath anymore. You'd better calm down and think about it carefully. If you really want to do it, you have to be mentally prepared. I'm afraid that in the end not only will you not get the medicine, but the Qiu family will also be finished." After saying that, he pulled his wife and walked out the door.

Qiu Zhengyi stopped his mother from cursing and chased after him. He caught up with his uncle at the gate. Before he could say anything, Qiu Sanjiang said directly: "Zhengyi, if you believe in your uncle, you must stop your mother. In fact, I have also heard about what your father did. I guess even if he can get the medicine and recover, I am afraid that the higher-ups will not let him do his current job. The things his old subordinates have caused this time have alarmed the top leaders. According to our army commander, a senior leader has slammed the table and demanded a thorough investigation and strict punishment. Think about it carefully. Even if your father recovers at this time, will he have a good result? It is better to maintain it as much as possible now. After this matter is over, we will find a way together. My surname is also Qiu. We are blood relatives. Do you think your uncle will harm you? Although we may be affected to a certain extent, we will keep a low profile for a few years, but we are not afraid of running out of firewood. You must not follow your mother's nonsense at this time. If you make trouble against the wind now, you will kill yourself."

After listening to his uncle's words, Qiu Zhengyi nodded solemnly in agreement, and watched Qiu Sanjiang get into the jeep at the door and slowly leave.

Qiu Zhengyi returned to the living room and saw his mother scolding Qiu Sanjiang in a low voice. He couldn't help but say, "Mom, at this time, you can't make trouble, okay?"

Mother Qiu looked up at her son in surprise. Just as she was about to speak, Qiu Zhengyi waved his hand to stop her: "Just listen to me first, okay?" Then he repeated the news that Qiu Sanjiang had just revealed.

His wife, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Zhengyi, Uncle San actually has something to say that he is embarrassed to say."

Mother Qiu quickly asked: "Xiaolan, don't keep me in suspense, just tell me quickly."

Xiaolan sighed: "In fact, Third Uncle has already hinted that my dad's illness this time might be a good thing." Seeing her mother-in-law's eyes widened, she quickly continued: "Mom, don't worry, listen to me. My dad's old subordinates are really finished this time. Three of them have been directly expelled from the army and the party. This also means that they will definitely be sentenced next, and it is not ruled out that they will be sentenced to heavy sentences. But do you think that the matter will be over if only these few people are dealt with? The leadership must be held accountable, and none of the three of my dad can escape it. The impact of this incident is too bad, and the higher-ups will definitely deal with it seriously. Therefore, my dad and others will not be able to just bear the punishment. It is not ruled out that they will be transferred from leadership positions or even ordered to retire early. Now I Dad has fallen ill, and it is quite serious. In this case, the higher-ups will inevitably give some care when dealing with it, otherwise it will be easy to be disheartened. Mom, you have to be mentally prepared. My dad will definitely retire due to illness this time, but as long as he is not punished or even dismissed, at least the basic benefits can be kept. Third uncle is right. Our family may not have an easy time in the next few years, but as long as third uncle is here, Zhengyi will still have a chance in the future. However, if my dad is punished and then ordered to retire due to illness, not only Zhengyi, but even third uncle will be affected. Our family is different from Shengda. I heard that Uncle Sheng offended a lot of people in the past because of his temper. Once Uncle Sheng retires, Shengda will probably have a hard time. That's why Shengda will bet everything on it. We must not go together."

After hearing this, Mother Qiu leaned back on the sofa helplessly, sighed and said, "Your father can worry less now that he is retired, but seeing how he is now, I really can't bear it."

Qiu Zhengyi had no choice but to comfort her: "Mom, don't be sad. Let's get through this first. I'll think of a solution with Uncle San later. You must not lie down again, otherwise our family will be in trouble."

Mother Qiu struggled to sit up, smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Zhengyi, your father is ill this time, and our family will have to rely on you to support the family in the future. You should discuss important matters with Xiaolan. We don't ask for wealth and glory in the future, as long as our family is safe and sound."

Qiu Zhengyi nodded solemnly: "Mom, don't worry, things will definitely get better in the future."

The Zhai family, which is six or seven families away from the Qiu family, was filled with hope after hearing what her son said. She excitedly grabbed Zhai Xu's hand and said, "Xiao Xu, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must try our best to fight for it. After your father recovers, I will have to worry more about you. It's been so many years since he became a major. Look at people of your age, there are already lieutenant colonels."

After hearing what his mother said, Zhai Xu was also somewhat dissatisfied and said: "My father is partial to my brother. Now my father is ill. I have sent him a telegram, but he has not come back to see me yet."

Mother Zhai patted her youngest son's shoulder lovingly: "Your brother's army is far away, and you are an adult now. You have to help out when there is something going on at home."

Zhai Xu nodded: "Mom, you have to urge my dad to stop always making excuses to me. Junyong is only two months older than me, and now he is a lieutenant colonel. Now I am embarrassed to play with the people in the compound."

Mother Zhai rolled her eyes at her son and said, "Jun Yong was awarded a second-class merit in the Northern Dynasty battlefield. Your father also wanted you to go to the Northern Dynasty battlefield to gain some experience. Didn't you not want to go?"

After hearing what his mother said, Zhai Xu blushed and continued to defend himself: "Isn't it because I'm worried that there's no one to accompany you two elders?"

Zhai's mother did not continue the topic, but discussed Shengda's proposal with her son.
