Time flies, and half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. During this half year, Gu Tingxiao has been almost always on missions. Due to his hard work, he has been promoted in this short period of time. Now he is the deputy head of the group, which is even faster than Lin Jue before.

In the eyes of others, Gu Tingxiao was just lucky, but only he and Lin Xi knew that he had paid with his life for that luck, because he had struggled on the brink of death many times. Fortunately, before each mission, Lin Xi sent him spiritual spring water, which allowed him to narrowly escape death.

As soon as Gu Tingxiao became the deputy regiment commander, the news spread throughout the village. Many people even came to Gu's mother to ask if they could send their own children to the army, hoping that one day they could become as successful as Gu Tingxiao.

"Old Five's mother, can you please give me some straightforward advice?"

"That's right! Lao Wu's mother, as the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family. Now that Lao Wu has made a name for himself, if you can help the villagers, then help them!"

When Mother Gu heard them say this, she was already furious. The reason why her son, the fifth child, could climb to his current position was because he had earned it with countless blood and sweat. Others might not know it, but she knew it very well because one time she accidentally saw that her son, the fifth child, had scars of all sizes on his body.

Although he has recovered, but when she sees the scars, Mother Gu can imagine the pain her fifth child must have endured at that time. It is not as easy as they say.

Thinking of this, Mother Gu felt heartbroken!

Faced with this group of aggressive villagers, Gu's mother wanted to fight with them, but in order not to affect the future of her own son, the fifth child, she could only endure it.

"We are all from the same village. I will certainly help if I can. But let me be frank. If someone's child is missing an arm or a leg, you can't blame my fifth child."

“I believe everyone knows that my fifth child had a close call with death not long ago!” Gu’s mother deliberately made the last time Gu Tingxiao was hospitalized sound very serious, otherwise they would not give up again.

When everyone heard this, they began to think about backing out. After all, they didn't want to have a disabled person in their family. Wouldn't this increase their family's financial burden?

But the two who spoke at the beginning obviously didn't believe it, and their faces were still aggressive. "Old Five, this is not an excuse you made up because you don't want to help!"

"What do you mean I made up an excuse? Do you think the army is a place where anyone can join if they want to? If it weren't for Lin Xi's eldest brother using his connections to get my fifth child in, he would still be working in the fields now!" Gu's mother spoke very loudly, as if she wanted everyone present to hear her on purpose.

I've never seen them so active in visiting her house before, but now that they see that her fifth son has become successful, they all come to curry favor with her and want to gain benefits for their own family, but they have to ask her if she agrees first.

When everyone thought about it, they really remembered that this was the case. They didn't dare to go directly to Lin Xi, so they could only say goodbye to Gu's mother and leave, leaving only the two troublemakers behind!

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you still want to come to my house for dinner? Don't even think about it..." After saying that, Mother Gu closed the gate in front of them. The two people who had been rejected didn't want to offend anyone completely, so they could only go home in shame!
