"Wen Yuan, you've finally arrived! They don't believe I'm your mother. Please talk to them and let me in!"

Ma Cuihua saw Song Wenyuan's figure from afar. She tried to push the sentry in front of her to enter the military camp, but the sentry looked thin and small, but he was very strong, and she couldn't push him at all.

On the contrary, Song Wenying, who had been stirring things up just moments before, became reserved and said gently, "Mom, don't worry. There are regulations in the army, unlike in our countryside where you can just come and go as you please. Second brother is here now, isn't he? He can take us in soon."

Ma Cuihua thought about it and realized it made sense, so she stopped pushing and shoving. But Song Wenyuan had already seen this scene and heard what she had just said.

Upon arriving at the military base gate, Song Wenyuan gestured for the sentry to return to his post, then took his place: "Mom, what brings you here?"

“You haven’t been home for so long, your parents missed you and wanted to come see you.” Ma Cuihua forced a smile.

"Now that you've seen it, you can go back," Song Wenyuan said coldly.

Ma Cuihua's expression froze instantly, her face darkening immediately: "Did you hear what that vixen said? Do you believe an outsider or your own mother? You don't know what your wife and daughter are like at home..."

"Enough! I know the details better than anyone. I don't want to dwell on the past. Let's talk about something else, like what you're doing here."

"What are you doing here?" Ma Cuihua's voice suddenly rose, and she tried to barge in. "I'm a mother, is there a problem with me coming to see my son? How could you ask such a question? It must have been that vixen who said something! No, I have to go find her!"

However, Song Wenyuan stepped aside this time: "Go ahead. If you join the army without an application, you'll be arrested as a spy, and even I can't do anything about it then."

Ma Cuihua stopped running halfway through her journey, forcing an awkward smile as she looked at Song Wenyuan: "Son, I'm all here now, won't you invite me in for a seat?"

"As I just said, family members cannot enter the military without submitting an application."

“My sister-in-law came directly from there, how could she come?” Song Wenying asked bluntly.

“I’ve already submitted a report to the military, aren’t you the one who knows best?” Song Wenyuan turned to look at her.

He almost forgot that his sister was the one who forwarded all the letters home. If it weren't for her, his wife would have come to the army long ago. However, Song Wenying wrote to him saying that his wife felt that the children were still too young and it would be inconvenient for her to travel and endure the hardships, so she refused his idea of ​​coming to the army with her. In the end, the matter was dropped.

Song Wenyuan's words had Song Wenying pinned down. She had always thought her second brother didn't know, but now...

She looked down at her fat belly.

No!

She and her mother absolutely cannot leave like this, otherwise what will happen to the child?

She even wanted to use Shen Anning to cause her to miscarry, and then make her pay a sum of money!

She took so much money when she left, and it hasn't been that long since then, she certainly hasn't spent it all.

Even though she'll lose her child, she'll have a large sum of money to take back, and her husband and mother-in-law will definitely still be willing to accept her.

“But there must be times when there’s an emergency at home, right? Second brother, why don’t you submit an application to your boss?” Song Wenying also imitated Ma Cuihua’s fake smile.

"Why are you so eager to join the army? If you want to stay here, I can rent a house for you in town, but the army only allocates one house to us. Even if you go in, it won't be enough, and you'll still have to live outside."

Song Wenyuan stared at the two men with a sharp gaze. The two men, already feeling guilty, shrank back.

Seeing that her second brother had no intention of letting them see Shen Anning, Song Wenying clenched her fists, her mind racing.

You're so dense! Think of something quick!

It was Ma Cuihua who spoke up: "Your father fell during the New Year, and the family doesn't have money to go to the hospital. We've come to you this time to get some money."

"How much does it cost?"

Ma Cuihua's eyes darted around, thinking that a few hundred yuan wouldn't be a wasted trip, but Song Wenying was faster, interrupting her directly: "At least a thousand yuan!"

Ignoring the looks they were giving her, she continued, her neck stiff, "Dad is old, and the doctor said he's hard to treat. After the surgery, he'll need all sorts of nutritional supplements, so he needs a lot more."

Ma Cuihua immediately realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, that's right, the doctor said it will cost a thousand."

“Okay.” Song Wenyuan didn’t want to get entangled with them, so he nodded directly. “After you go back, send me the hospital receipts and the receipts for the nutritional supplements you bought, and I will send you one-third of the money.”

"What? One-third?" Ma Cuihua's eyes widened. "Second brother, what do you mean? You're not acknowledging your parents anymore?"

Song Wenyuan continued calmly, "You and Dad have three children, and each child has a legal obligation to support them. It's not unreasonable for me to pay one-third, is it? Besides, I've sent so many things back home every year in the past, how could the family not have the money? So what I'm giving you this time isn't for medical treatment, but for living expenses, so why should I pay for it all by myself?"

“Your older brother farms at home and takes care of me and your father. He is fulfilling his filial duty to you. How can you let him pay for it?”

Seeing her daughter frantically trying to signal to her, and thinking that without this daughter, she wouldn't have been able to successfully reach the army and find her son, Ma Cuihua added, "As for your sister, she's a married-out daughter. What married-out daughter would give subsidies to her parents' family?"

"Really? Married-out daughters can't give subsidies to their natal families, so their natal families can give their daughters-in-law jobs to them, right?"

Ma Cuihua and Song Wenying were surprised that Song Wenyuan even knew about this matter.

Song Wenying retorted, "What do you mean by 'giving'? I was just helping my sister-in-law with her work because she's pregnant and having trouble finding a job. Besides, I've given her all the money I've earned over the years; everyone in the village can testify to that!"

But Song Wenyuan didn't argue with her at all, shutting her down with a simple "Is that so?"

Song Wenying was unable to catch her breath, and her face turned bright red.

Song Wenyuan said, “I believe I have never wronged you in any way since I was a child. I originally had the opportunity to go to university, but you said that my family didn’t have the money to support me, so I listened to you and joined the army. At that time, my monthly allowance was only a dozen yuan, and I would send ten yuan to you without fail until the end of the year. But how did you treat me?”

"You stole my wife's job, and my daughter is treated worse than a dog at home. She almost died, and you wouldn't even spend money on her treatment. Now you're coming to me for money. I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you; I just wanted you to be fair. You won't even accept that?"

Song Wenyuan had been holding these words in for a long time. After learning what had happened at home, he wanted to go back and ask his parents, but he had duties to perform and could not leave at will.

But now, with his own mother and sister standing in front of him, he finally couldn't hold back any longer.
