Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 659 - 637: Unworthy to Be a Member of the Mei Family

Chapter 659: Chapter 637: Unworthy to Be a Member of the Mei Family

"Others are secondary. After all, with my older brother’s family around, they wouldn’t dare go too far, except for Li Fugui, the village chief, who took advantage of his convenient conditions to withhold a lot of my labor points over the years. All the work done was the heaviest.

"It’s no pity that bastard died, dared to think about my wife, he sure had a death wish."

"Killing is against the law, plus you’re still part of the military, you shouldn’t act impulsively," Liang Hongmei quickly covered his mouth upon hearing his words.

"I know my limits, I won’t make mistakes. It’s getting late, let’s go to bed." For a moment, Lin Guozhi slipped up and hurriedly coped with his wife.

Trying not to let her overthink.

...

Early in the morning, Han Yi woke up to see Lin Wan holding Little Star playing at the head of the bed.

Squinting his eyes, he glanced at the clock, it was already past nine.

"I slept so long? Why didn’t you wake me yesterday?" Han Yi, lying in bed, pinched his nose bridge and lifted Little Star up for a kiss.

"I did call you, but you didn’t wake up. Haven’t slept for days? You slept for so long in one go."

"I did sleep, just a bit tired."

"When did you come back yesterday? How did you get in?"

"In the afternoon, around two or three," Han Yi said with a smile, "Isn’t Mom always leaving the key on the door frame?"

Lin Wan suddenly slapped her forehead, "I’ve told her so many times not to put it there. Thieves these days are quite clever."

Han Yi, holding Little Star, turned over and moved to the middle, holding Lin Wan in a swift embrace and giving her a quick kiss, "Dad is here, let Dad manage her. Did you miss me?"

"Yes, I missed you. Haven’t seen you for months."

Han Yi didn’t care whether he was clean or dirty, pressing Lin Wan’s head down for a French kiss.

For a moment, they ignored the Little Star beside them. The little one saw both parents cuddled together, neglecting her, and unwillingly crawled over from Dad’s side. She squeezed between them.

Using her small fists to thump on Han Yi.

Causing Han Yi to unable to hold back, releasing Lin Wan with a laugh.

Lin Wan blushed, glared at him coyly.

Then looked at her daughter, and helplessly rubbed her forehead.

"My daughter has grown up, knows Daddy is bullying Mommy, right?"

"Ya... Daddy."

"Yes, sweetie."

The whole family was waiting for him, Han Yi didn’t linger much longer and hurriedly freshened up before heading downstairs. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

At this time, Liang Hongmei quickly brought out the meal she saved for him, urging him to quickly eat something.

"Drink more soup, I started cooking this chicken soup early this morning. Quickly replenish your body. You haven’t eaten since yesterday, have you?"

"Thanks, Mom, on the road it’s all dry rations, if I find a restaurant I can have a hot meal, if not, it’s just nibbling on buns. But it’s not as good as home," Han Yi didn’t hold back, he was indeed hungry.

"It’s good that you weren’t hurt this time, you had me and Xiao Wan worried the day before yesterday," Liang Hongmei was most concerned about her son-in-law now, with missions all the time, just afraid of an accident.

"Mom, don’t worry, I’m fine, though Junzi did get a bit hurt, I visited him at the hospital before coming back, his godfather and godmother were there too."

"Did Brother Junzi get hurt? Is it serious?" The three women quickly got anxious.

Han Yi promptly explained, "Not serious, just some minor injuries, will be fine in a few days. If you’re worried, a phone call would help."

"A phone call is needed indeed. I will go call immediately and ask," Liang Hongmei said, getting up to head toward Lin Guozhi’s study.

Lin Wan and Mu Qing quickly followed.

Leaving Han Yi and the father-daughter duo drinking chicken soup, one sip for me, one sip for you.

"Daddy... delicious."

"Little Star wants to learn to talk, so great. Daddy is the best, isn’t it?"

"Daddy... Dad."

...

"Getting injured is good." The phone was on speaker, and Mom hadn’t inquired about Brother Junzi’s condition yet when Aunt said this.

Making her and Saozi cover their mouths and laugh.

"How can you curse the kid like that?"

"Just in time to spend New Year at home. Last year, Ah Hui and Xiao Wan were here, it was such a lively year. This year, he said he wouldn’t come back, which made me upset for days. But now with the injury, he can spend a reunion year with us and we can find him a wife... His injury isn’t serious, don’t worry, weren’t you saying you’d go back to the hometown?"

"We were just about to set off when Xiao Yi told us Junzi got injured, we can’t make it over, so we can only call to check."

"Don’t worry, he’s been moving around these days. Actually, the injury wasn’t big, it got infected on the way back. Otherwise, it would have healed earlier."

"That’s good."

...

In the early morning, guardsman Xiao Zhang drove Lin Guozhi’s car back, with the tank already full. Lin Guozhi worried about fuel shortage at home, so after breakfast, he took his son to fill more fuel, preparing two spare barrels. "Is Xiao Yi awake?"

Lin Guozhi came in, asked with a glance, seeing Han Yi in the living room.

"Dad."

"Mm, you’ve worked hard these days, I know what’s been going on over there." Lin Guozhi patted Han Yi’s shoulder and said, "First, move things with your brother, we’ll be leaving soon, where’s your mom?"

"In the study calling Uncle and Aunt, Junzi got a minor injury."

Lin Guozhi nodded, turned and went to the study. He also showed concern about Junzi’s condition, seeing there wasn’t much problem, Lin Guozhi spoke into the phone, "Is Old Mei there?"

"He’s at the army now."

"Alright, I’ll give him a call."

After hanging up Liang Qian’s call, Lin Guozhi said the car had arrived, telling them to get ready.

...

In a district of Military Era, Capital City.

In Mei Shuqing’s office, it was gloomy; the two brothers were arguing with black faces.

"Han Yi doesn’t acknowledge me, and now Langchi is ruining his future, what am I supposed to do? What about the Mei Family?"

"What can the Mei Family do? Haven’t we come this far step by step over the years? There’s no use finding me now, if you knew, you should have managed your son properly back then. You didn’t manage your own son well, you’d better go manage your son now. What he committed isn’t a minor prank; his courage is growing, ignoring the lives of comrades, treating national interests and family responsibilities as a game. Did your son ever consider my son when he falsely reported military intelligence? He was fighting for life and death in the enemy’s den, in dire need of support, and my son is his cousin. Your son ignored their safety for his selfish gains, and even his own kin, does he deserve to stay in the army? A person like this should get lost sooner."

"Isn’t Junzi alright now? No matter how wrong Langchi is, we’ll handle it at home. You can’t just watch your eldest nephew’s future be ruined, can you?"

"I don’t have such a nephew, and besides, this matter I can’t help. It’s so obvious. They went with so many soldiers, all elites; don’t treat them as fools. And so many injured soldiers. If not for him, each would have a great future awaiting. While you’re defending your son, have you thought about those innocent soldiers? You, despite being a soldier, don’t deserve this uniform."

"Mei Shuping, watch your attitude, I’m your elder brother."

"Even as my brother, no luck. You know how I work, never giving favors. If I favored people, would my son still be doing dangerous work in his near-thirties?"

"Shuqing, now isn’t the time to get emotional. Mei Family only has Langchi and Lang Jun, very few people, and if he’s expelled from the army, how will the Mei Family stand in the military world?"

"With him dragging behind, the Mei Family will be ruined sooner or later, better quit early and find another way."

"You..."

Mei Shuping was thoroughly enraged by his brother, indeed...though he was an elder brother, his ability was limited, always a bit short.

This issue with his son was too serious, beyond his solo capability to handle those above.

Thus seeking help from his brother, knowing his staunch nature, but never expecting him to be so unsympathetic, even ignoring his own nephew.

"Mei Shuqing, you’ve got guts, fine, you won’t help, I’ll go and speak to our dad."

"If you want them to die two years earlier, then say it. I won’t stop you."

"..." Only Mei Shuqing would curse his own father in such a way.

Seeing this, Mei Shuping had nothing good to stay for, directly left shaking his sleeve.

As soon as Mei Shuping departed, Lin Guozhi’s call came in.

"You timed it poorly, my brother just argued with me, discussing this matter. If you’d called earlier, I’d let him talk to you directly. After all, aren’t you in-laws?"

"Isn’t this showing concern for your son, specifically comforting him? Old Mei, neither Lin Family nor I would swallow our pride to contact him first. I tell you for life I’ve decided, except for official matters, I’ll never contact Mei Shuping for private affairs. I’m putting it out there today: even with you as a brother, I’ll maintain this stance, we can’t acknowledge this in-law. Besides, my son-in-law never expressed any intention to recognize him..."
