Crossing the Western Tianshan Mountains

Ye Minglang simply said "oh" lightly, "I heard from Hua Duoer that you guys are taking care of all your meals in the camp, and you don't need anyone else. I think you're right, and the people in the camp are very nice, so I went to work with peace of mind. The project is at a critical juncture right now, and I can't not go to work."

Mother Ye glared at him angrily. "You're already protecting her before she's even married. If I did marry her, wouldn't you be arguing with me every day? It seems your Huaduo is also ignorant of the big picture. How could you fall for a woman like this?"

Ye Minglang said, "Since you see things this way, I have to work even harder."

Ye's mother was confused and asked, "Why?"

"Only by working hard can I earn more money and buy my own house. Then my daughter and I will have our own home and won't have to live with my mother-in-law."

"You—" Mother Ye flew into a rage upon hearing this. She suddenly clutched her chest, her face pale as she cried out in pain, "I raised this son in vain!"

Then she fell to the bed with a thud. Father Ye looked at her and shouted in shock, "Quick, quick, your mother has fainted!"

Ye Minglang didn't expect that a few words of his would cause such a big disaster. His heart was pounding wildly. He carried Ye's mother on his back and ran to the medical room. Fang Ya immediately arranged for a heart rate test and gave her treatment. At the same time, she did some other basic examinations. It was confirmed that she was just fainted for a while and her vital signs were stable.

However, Fang Ya found that her heart rhythm was unstable and she had pulmonary edema, which was obviously a physical condition caused by her not being able to adapt to living in Xitianshan.

Therefore, people who came to the Western Tianshan to be stationed basically had this problem in the early stages, but some people had better physical fitness and could withstand it. If the condition was not too serious, their bodies would handle it on their own. Some people fell ill directly, such as Han Guangrui, the leader who was transferred to the Western Tianshan before the New Year. In the end, he was transferred away from the Western Tianshan due to illness.

Ye Minglang's parents were in good health and looked strong, but Ye's mother was always angry, which made the symptoms worse.

Fang Ya called Ye Minglang out and said, "West Tian Mountain is indeed not suitable for the elderly to live in. Even if they live here for dozens of days and eventually adapt, they will have to leave again. It is really unnecessary to go through so much trouble. If they suffer any harm to their health, it will not be worth it."

This incident also alarmed Ling Fengxi, but he was busy during the day and only came to the medical room to visit Ye's mother at night. Ye's mother looked very bad indeed. She had woken up, her face full of grief.

When he saw Ling Fengxi, he burst into tears. "Secretary Ling, I raised a child in vain. She actually cut off ties with her parents for a woman."

When Ling Fengxi heard this, he already understood what was going on. At this moment, he thought about what happened between him and Ayala.

He couldn't quite sympathize with Ye's mother and only said, "Ms. Ye, Minglang is actually a very good person. He works very hard beside me. He is usually very considerate and careful in his dealings with others. When you were not here, he often missed you and said that he missed his parents."

"What's the point? Now that you've seen him, you only want to piss off your parents. Secretary Ling, I'm not trying to report my son for being unfilial. I just hope you can teach him a lesson as a leader, letting him know that disobeying one's parents is a serious act of unfilial piety and will be severely punished."

Ling Fengxi's heart skipped a beat. "Ms. Ye, people here say that Xitian Mountain is very evil. We should not say anything too serious."

Before Ye's mother could say anything else, he continued, "Children have grown up, like eagles spreading their wings, ready to fly high in the sky. Parents are their concern, but they can no longer control their lives. In my opinion, Gulinar is indeed a good girl. Why don't you try to accept her?"

"Secretary Ling, why do you say that too... Alas..." Mother Ye covered her chest with her hands, feeling a dull pain in her chest again. Ling Fengxi was the leader after all, and for Ye Minglang's work to go smoothly, Mother Ye did not dare to argue too much with Ling Fengxi, but she felt dissatisfied in her heart and even more depressed.

So when Ye Minglang suggested that they go down the mountain again, Ye's mother got stubborn and said, "I won't go down. I feel fine now. I came to see my son. I want to see my son as much as possible every day."

Ye Minglang went to his father to persuade him again, but his father shook his head, "Son, others may not know, but don't you know? Your mother has been used to being strong all her life. I am her puppet. My words have no weight."

Whether it is Ye Minglang as a son, or the leaders of Xitianshan, the workers, or the medical room, they can't force this group of elderly people to go down the mountain, right?

Fortunately, Fang Ya now has a lot of experience in dealing with the various physical symptoms that people who first go to Xitian Mountain will experience, so if the old couple can take good care of their bodies, nothing serious will actually happen.

But you really can’t get angry anymore, anger is harmful to your health.

Fang Ya told Gulinar about this.

Gulinar also understood that Ye's mother was sick because she was angry with her. She felt very uncomfortable for a moment and said to Fang Ya, "Then I will hide from them from now on and try not to let them see me."

Fang Ya said, "Good things are never too late. Some things need to be done slowly. Time will solve everything. You and Ye Minglang are still very young."

It means there is time to waste.

Gulinar was very smart and understood immediately. She nodded and said, "Thank you, Sister Fang, for your guidance."

In the following days, Gulinar did not appear in front of the old couple again. At this time, Ye's mother became puzzled again, "Where is the flower? Why is it not showing off?"

Ye's father was so angry that he said to her, "Does she dare to show off? If she were in front of you, you would want to strangle her."

Ye's mother had done nothing wrong. "I was thinking about the long term. She and Minglang weren't a good match. Everyone could see they weren't compatible. They were bound to break up sooner or later. I was just being the bad guy to keep them from getting too deeply involved so they could both cut their losses in time."

Father Ye mocked, "Oh, you are so great."

Mother Ye was also very aggrieved, feeling that no one understood her. One day, feeling a little better both physically and mentally, she wandered around the palace grounds again. She saw Ayala unloading the milk bucket from the horse's back. She looked incredibly strong, and she hurried over to help. "Oh, you're a woman, how can you do such strenuous work? You're going to be exhausted!"

When Ayala saw her, she guessed that she was Ye Minglang's mother, so she said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm fine. I'm used to it."

Ye's mother added, "You women in the mountains are really strong."

Ayala smiled, not knowing what to say. She had heard some of what had happened in the past few days and knew that the lady in front of her looked down on Gulinar... But Gulinar was already the best girl in the Western Tianshan Mountains. Ayala knew that this lady looked down on women from the mountains.

Ye's mother gossiped again, "What's your name? Is your husband from here too?"
