“Okay, thank you, doctor.”

This time, Ma Yan did not act unreasonably. She treated Doctor Lu respectfully and courteously.

However, to go to a bigger hospital in the city, she faced two difficult problems. The first was that the financial conditions of their family were not particularly good. From the beginning of winter to the beginning of spring, their family basically had no income. All of their income was from the subsidies that Yun Qiao sent home while he served as a soldier.

The second problem was treating Yun Zhu’s illness. It might be a long process. Doctor Lu had also prepared them mentally. However, they were simple farmers. The only means of livelihood for the farmers was to farm. Now that spring was about to start, every family had already bought seeds and fertilizer, once they went to the county town, they would delay the planting of the fields. Then, there would be no harvest this year!

The husband and wife were so conflicted that they wanted to die!

!!

In the end, Ma Yan thought of a compromise. It was another way to sacrifice the eldest son for the younger son!

“Hubby, why don’t we call Yun Qiao and ask him to come back from the army? While we’re at it, let him borrow some money from his comrades and bring back the rest of his subsidies. We’ll have all the money needed to treat Yun Zhu’s illness. Moreover, he has already grown up and is able to take care of the family. As long as he comes back, there will be no need to worry about the land in our family not being planted!”

As Ma Yan spoke, she thought of the best method that she could think of.

Yun Lin was still as silent as ever. He was already used to having Ma Yan in charge of this family. Moreover, he was also calculating in his heart.

He had a set of very honest values, but he never showed them. He knew that Ma Yan’s thoughts were a little unfair to Yun Qiao, but he was even more reluctant to let the land in his house go unfarmed, so he also had to make things difficult for his eldest son.

However, he did not agree because he was afraid that his eldest son would hold a grudge against him. He would rather bear the crime of being weak and incompetent than bear the crime of delaying his son’s life.

Ma Yan found a public phone booth and made a call to the army. She contacted Yun Qiao and explained the situation at home to him, she hoped that he could go home now to solve the mess at home.

Yun Qiao was stunned for a moment, then agreed and said that he would be home in a few days. After all, there were still some procedures to apply for when he returned home from the army.

However, what Ma Yan did not know was that her eldest son had performed exceptionally well in the army. This was because there were only a few soldiers in the army who were literate. It was rare to see a soldier like him who had attended high school, had a certain level of cultural foundation, knew a little English, and had a little understanding of mathematics, physics, and chemistry. Thus, he received a lot of appreciation from his superiors.

Moreover, Yun Qiao had also met a girl in the army who had moved his heart. That was the daughter of his immediate superior, who was now working as the chief of staff in the military district nearby.

The two of them had met by chance, but Yun Qiao had buried this love deep in his heart. He felt that with his identity, his family background was far from matching up to such a brilliant girl like her.

He reported to his superiors that he was going home for a vacation, but the image of the chief of staff still appeared in his mind. His hand speed in packing his luggage also slowed down. Perhaps after this farewell, the two of them would never have the chance to meet again.

Yun Qiao’s immediate superior was very impressed by his filial virtue. After all, there would be a selection in the army in the next month.

The outstanding soldier in the selection could be promoted by one level. This was a rare opportunity for the soldiers to be qualified as an officer. However, Yun Qiao was willing to give up this opportunity for his family. This kind of rare and valuable spirit was still very admirable!

“This time, I approved it and consider it as you taking a leave. As long as the matters at home have been resolved, you can return to the army at any time. I’m looking forward to your more outstanding performance!”

The superior officer patted Yun Qiao’s shoulder hard, his eyes full of deep expectations for him!
