It seems that the younger sister-in-law took a good care of her husband.
âLittle sister-in-law, Little Huzi is asleep, you can go out and have something to eat. I need to have a few words with my brother, then Iâll leave,â said Yun Shuang, her brows tightly furrowed as she spoke with a deep sigh.
âAll right.â Knowing that they needed privacy, Meng Yunhan rose and left the room, even kindly shutting the door behind her.
âHanhan, itâs time for dinner,â Mother Yun called, aware that her eldest daughter and youngest son needed to speak in private.
Meng Yunhan nodded.
Inside the room, Yun Shuang sat on a stool, staring at Yun Hao who was lying on the bed. âAhao, when will you wake up from this? Do you want to make your wife bear the burden all alone, taking care of the child and you? What if something happens to her? How will you and the child get by? Our parents are old, but theyâre still worried about you. Youâve always been reckless, insisting on joining the army. Although they worried, weâve never received any bad news about you. But now, just over a year after your marriage and just over a month after your son was born, youâve left them in this dire state. How is your wife supposed to fend for herself and your son?â
âDo you know what people outside are saying? They think your wife has cursed you, they think your son has cursed you. Are you just going to let them bear all that? Ahao, wake up. More than once, youâve pulled through before. You can do it this time too. Your wife is a good woman and you canât let her suffer.â
âAhao, youâre their main support. If you fall, how will they cope? Please, wake up. I donât know if you can hear me. But if you can, you should wake up sooner rather than later!â
âAhaoâ¦â¦â¦.â
As Meng Yunhan was eating, her mind stayed preoccupied with Yun Hao and Little Huzi in the room.
âHanhan, do you want to go back to teaching?â
Meng Yunhan abruptly looked towards Mother Yun. âMother, now Yun Hao needs my care. I wonât go back to teach. Once Little Huzi is a bit older, I will start working. When I went to pack up Yun Haoâs things, the political commissar gave me all the allowance for the past few months.â
âAllowance, just keep it.â Her son needs money now. From soup to eggs, all these things cost money.
âI asked the political commissar to retain Yun Haoâs military status for a year.â
Father Yun looked at Meng Yunhan in surprise. âRetain his military status?â
Meng Yunhan met their gaze, calmly saying, âIâm afraid if Yun Hao wakes up within a year and his military status has been revoked, it will be too pity. So I asked the political commissar and the battalion commander to retain it for a year.â
Mother Yun patted Meng Yunhanâs hand. âChild, youâve worked hard.â
âMother, weâre all family, you donât have to say things like this.â With that, she kept her pain to herself. After all, there was a good chance that she was the cause of all this.
âFather, Mother, sister-in-law, I should leave now.â Yun Shuang came to the main room and said calmly.
Mother Yun didnât hold Yun Shuang back. âYou should go home early!â
Yun Shuang left briskly. But her red-rimmed eyes told everyone about her deep sorrow for her brotherâs condition.
Life must go on.
Mother Yun and Father Yun went to work, and Meng Yunhan stayed home to take care of the child.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
