Zhang Jingjing looked at the old lady and thought that it would be cruel for such a good old man to experience the loss of a son in old age.

They sat down and talked. The girl who had just come in sat next to the old lady, her eyes glancing at Huo Changqing from time to time with a strange expression.

Zhang Jingjing naturally noticed it and asked calmly.

"Auntie, who is this?"

The old lady looked at the girl next to her and introduced, "This is my little girl Ruhua."

When Li Ruhua heard her mother talking about herself, she quickly greeted them, but when she spoke to Huo Changqing, she couldn't hide the shyness on her face, which sounded like a young girl's love for her spring.

Zhang Jingjing understood, but didn't say anything.

Huo Changqing didn't plan to stay longer. He thought of taking a look, gave the money to the old man, and went back before it got dark. He had to go to the old man's place early tomorrow morning.

So after a few more pleasantries, he took out some money and said, "Auntie, take this money and buy whatever you need. You must take care of yourself."

The old lady saw it and quickly refused.

"No, this can't be done. Hurry up and put the money away. How much money have we taken from you? It's not easy to make some money. You don't have to give me this bad old woman all the time. Besides, I can't blame you for what happened to Zhan Min. You’ve helped enough.”

The soldier was the comrade who died in Huo Changqing's team. When the old lady mentioned this son, her eyes immediately became moist again.

"Auntie, you keep the money, it's still affordable for me."

The old lady refused to accept it: "You have a family and a wife first, and you also help us raise three children. Our Lao Li family owes you too much."

Zhang Jingjing could see that this old lady was reasonable. Although she had never heard Huo Changqing mention Li Zhanmin, looking at Huo Changqing's attitude towards the Li family, she could tell how admirable this person was.

At this moment, there was a sudden "ouch" at the door, and a stocky woman fell in. It looked like she was lying at the door eavesdropping, and she was accidentally pushed.

Zhang Jingjing probably remembered that this person was the old lady's eldest daughter-in-law, and her appearance showed that she was not peaceful.

Sure enough, the woman laughed dryly and hurriedly walked over to persuade: "Mom, since it's Xiao Huo's kindness, just accept it. Our family is so poor, so don't make a fool of yourself. There are so many grandchildren waiting for you." I’m using money to get a wife.”

It stands to reason that there is not enough food in the countryside, and everyone has a sallow complexion and thin muscles. There are not many people with a body shape like hers, which means that the food is pretty good.

Seeing her winking at the old lady, Zhang Jingjing felt disgusted. These words made people feel so uncomfortable.

Does Huo Changqing have to rely on Huo Changqing to marry her son?That was her son, not Huo Changqing's son.

I was thinking this in my heart, but I didn't say anything with my mouth.

Huo Changqing on the side also frowned slightly, but chose to remain silent.

"It's nonsense. Our family has no money, so we try to find ways to make it. What does it have to do with Xiao Huo? Don't get involved in this matter. It has nothing to do with you."

The old lady said disapprovingly and wanted to drive her daughter-in-law out.This eldest daughter-in-law is lazy and has more eyes than a sieve. She is also afraid that if she behaves in front of outsiders, no one will look good.

After hearing what she said, the eldest daughter-in-law clearly disagreed. She glanced at Zhang Jingjing and Huo Changqing, narrowed her eyes, and started to cause trouble.

"Mom, you can't say that, why does it have nothing to do with Xiao Huo? If Zhan Min hadn't saved Xiao Huo and the others, he wouldn't have died. If he were still alive, our family wouldn't be like this now, with people being harassed everywhere. despise."

Although this was not stated explicitly, the meaning was very clear. The brother-in-law died to save Huo Changqing, and Huo Changqing should be responsible for the whole family.

After Zhang Jingjing heard this, an unknown fire surged in her heart. How did she say that?Even if Li Zhanmin did not sacrifice himself to save Huo Changqing, even on the battlefield, heroic sacrifice for the mission and the country is inevitable. After all, the duty lies.

She admired Li Zhanmin for sleeping forever for the people, but this woman blamed Huo Changqing, and she couldn't agree.

The old lady also felt that what she said was too much and quickly stopped her: "Don't talk nonsense. The soldiers sacrificed their lives for the country. What does it have to do with Xiao Huo?"

The eldest daughter-in-law glanced at Huo Changqing with a very unbeatable expression.

"That's not certain. If the war people hadn't saved him, why would he help us raise our children and always send money and things? This doesn't make sense."

Zhang Jingjing finally knows what it means to repay kindness with hatred.

Co-author: Is it wrong for Huo Changqing to be kind to their family?The reason why Huo Changqing takes such good care of their family is, firstly, because Li Zhanmin is a soldier under him, secondly, because Huo Changqing is loyal and cannot bear to see his children suffer in the countryside, and the last reason is because he has a good family background and has the ability to help. Others also want to help. There are seniors and juniors, and the little salary they are given is not enough to spend on themselves. How can they help others?

Zhang Jingjing couldn't bear it anymore, but Huo Changqing remained motionless and could keep his composure.

The old lady was speechless for a moment. To be honest, she might not have doubted this. She knew that Huo Changqing was a good comrade, but being so kind to them was indeed a bit too much. Could it be that his son really sacrificed his life to save him?

But everyone is dead, they have done enough, and they parents have nothing to say.

Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, Zhang Jingjing finally couldn't help it anymore and stood up directly and said: "Sister-in-law, what you say is unreasonable. My parents are loyal and treat Comrade Li Zhanmin as a close relative. He died heroically and wanted to help you within his ability, but it would be inappropriate for you to rely on him."

After saying that, he paused and said: "To put it in a bad way, even if it is true, it means that my man owes your brother-in-law and his parents. What does it have to do with you, the sister-in-law? Could it be that your son Do you have to rely on your own brother-in-law to get a wife?"

Zhang Jingjing spoke very logically, and every sentence was to the point, which made the sister-in-law of the Li family speechless.

Huo Changqing originally didn't want to argue with this kind of village woman, and he didn't want to explain. He just wanted to be a man with a clear conscience, do what he should do well, and didn't want to pay attention to anything else.

But Zhang Jingjing's words spoke to his heart.

"you you!"

The sister-in-law of the Li family bulged her triangular eyes as she thought about how to respond.

"You have a very powerful mouth. Of course it matters. If my brother-in-law were here, he would definitely help the family. Now that he died trying to save your man, you have to be responsible for our family."

Seeing that they were about to break up, Huo Changqing also spoke.

"Sister-in-law, I, Huo Changqing, never lie. The soldiers did die, but that was because of the mission, not because of me. If it were possible at the time, I would have sacrificed my own life for his safety, but there was no chance."
