Chapter 231: The Storm Begins (4)(2/2)

In an instant, the stilted young man put away his knife and stood upright.

"Are you...?" The woman revealed half of her face behind the door and asked in confusion.

"I...I..." The young man spoke as if he had bitten his tongue, "I...Dawang's...Paoze...come home..."

Ding clang, as if some sound fell to the ground.

The woman's body instantly leaned against the door, and everyone in the room fell down.

The eyes looking at the young man were full of misery and despair.

She pursed her lips so tightly that her nails were digging into the wooden door, and shook her head slightly. A tear fell quickly down her cheek.

He came from the army and was a comrade-in-arms of his brother-in-law Dawang.

He is back, but there is still no news from Dawang, which means...

"Don't, don't!" the woman cried, her voice as weak as a mosquito, "Don't, don't!"

The young man turned his head away fiercely, holding back his tears, and then turned his head again with a stiff smile.

"Sister-in-law...Sister-in-law?"

"I... Da..." the young man stuttered, and suddenly bit his tongue hard, "Da Wang... Liaodong... Guards... Can't come back

Come...let me come home and see...I...Li...Xiaowai...his...

"

As he spoke, Li Xiaowai punched his chest heavily with his fist, "His brother!"

Hearing this, the woman's eyes sparkled with a little sparkle.

"My family is not dead!" she asked.

Li Xiaowai nodded quickly.

"Are you still stationing troops in Liaodong?"

Li Xiaowai nodded heavily.

"Then when will she come back?" she asked anxiously.

Li Xiaowai bit off his tongue again, "Ah...it should be...in May..." As he said that, Li Xiaowai took off the gauze from his shoulders and put it at the door.

, "He... asked..."

"He asked you to bring it back?" the woman asked.

"Yeah!" Li Xiaowai nodded, "Chinese New Year... spend... eat... wear... him..." As he said this, he was annoyed that he was a stutterer, and Li Xiaowai hesitated.

He gave himself a mouthful, "He is... thinking about you!"

He has stuttered since he was a child, and the more nervous he is, the more he stutters when he lies.

"Brother, why are you beating yourself?" The woman smiled bitterly, her face looking much better.

No matter what, it's a good thing that my brother-in-law is still alive. If you go home late, just be late. As long as you are here, you will always have time to go home. As long as you are here, this family will still have hope and it will still be a home.

She slowly opened her robe, but her color suddenly changed the next moment.

"Why so much?" the woman exclaimed.

In the bag, there were always heavy copper coins, as well as exquisite silver coins that she had never seen before, and even half an eight-piece and two-piece gold cake.

She has never seen so much money!

Her hands were trembling.

"Military...military merit...reward!" Li Xiaowai said loudly, "He...has made a meritorious service!"
