From that day on, Xu Rongrong never left home again.
She seemed to have just started waiting like this every day, waiting blankly for Zhan Yiyang to come back.
She always believed that Zhan Yiyang would come back in autumn.
Zhan Yiyang never wanted her to be sad, and he also knew that if he left her like this, she would be so sad that she died. Therefore, Zhan Yiyang would not leave her like this.
She would wait, very obediently, until Zhan Yiyang came back.
Everyone, including Commander Zhan and Grandpa Zhan, advised her to accept the fact that Zhan Yiyang had died.
But her courage was far from enough, and she did not believe that Zhan Yiyang would die like this.
Therefore, she would rather wait.
Even if Zhan Yiyang plays a joke on her this autumn and doesn't come back, she will wait until next autumn.
She waited, even if the world turned into a cold and lonely wilderness, even if time turned into a long river, even if everything in the world showed its ferocious appearance... She would wait, wait every autumn in her lifetime, wait until she and Zhan Yi
Yang finally met unexpectedly again.
She will definitely be able to return to that familiar embrace.
What's more, she has a baby waiting with her, so she is not lonely.
Ye Zi'an knew what she was thinking and said she was crazy.
She is not crazy, she is even more sane than anyone else, she is just waiting for her husband to come home.
In this way, less than half a month passed.
Xu Rongrong still couldn't wait to return to Zhan Yiyang. No matter how firm her faith was in her heart, she could not withstand the devastation of the facts. When the news came that Zhan Yiyang would be buried in the Martyrs Cemetery, she finally collapsed and began to have insomnia all night long.
On the day of the funeral, it started to rain.
Xu Rongrong was dressed in black and stood in the front row of the crowd. Looking at the photo of Zhan Yiyang in military uniform on the tombstone, tears fell like rain.
For so many days, she was unwilling to face it and waited persistently. However, today so many people and a cold stone tablet told her: Zhan Yiyang will really never come back.
He died, and she would never wait for him to come back in her entire life.
The tombstone is engraved with Zhan Yiyang’s great achievements in his military career. After his death, he was honored as a national special war hero. His funeral was broadcast on national television. Many ministerial-level officials attended his funeral.
A heavy eulogy.
Taken together, it seems that many people can ignore that this is just someone's funeral.
The only one who doesn't care about this is Xu Rongrong.
So what if more dazzling halos shrouded the tomb? She only knew that her husband would never come back, and he wouldn't even have time to see the child he missed so much.
Why is fate so cruel to them?
Xu Rongrong's tears blurred her vision, but she could still clearly see countless Zhan Yiyang's subordinates walking to his grave, laying flowers, saluting, and staring at his tombstone for a long time until their eyes were filled with tears.
Before leaving, Zhan Yiyang once said that even if it was for his troops and his soldiers, he would definitely come back.
But now, his soldiers, his entire army, are in tears. Where are the others? Where have they gone?
Did all this really happen?
An officer came over, looked at Xu Rongrong with hazy tearful eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, my condolences."
Xu Rongrong nodded, but in fact, she didn't know how to express her condolences at all.
After losing Zhan Yiyang, her world began to collapse. How should she grieve?
…
The funeral lasted for a long time before it ended. Xu Rongrong stood still and did not move. She remained motionless until all the mourners left.
"Rongrong, go home." Liang Shuxian came over to persuade Xu Rongrong, "It's raining heavily, and we're worried that you will catch a cold."
Xu Rongrong shook his head, "Auntie, is this true?"
Liang Shuxian knew that Xu Rongrong still couldn't accept the facts, so she sighed: "Rongrong, can you accept the facts? Yiyang... has been buried."
"No." Xu Rongrong's voice was very soft, but sure enough, "Auntie, I just put a set of Yiyang's clothes down there. Yiyang is not dead, he is definitely not dead yet, he will not just abandon me and me like this.
Baby."
Xu Rongrong also knew that she was telling it to herself, and she still wanted to believe that Zhan Yiyang was still alive.
"..." Liang Shuxian kept sighing and said no more.
"..."
Silence seemed to cover the whole world, and the atmosphere was so heavy that people could not breathe.
Xu Rongrong kept looking at Zhan Yiyang's tombstone intently, as if he wanted to see through whether it really existed and whether all this really happened.
After a long time, Liang Shuxian finally spoke again: "Rongrong, for the sake of your child, go back."
Xu Rongrong looked down at his lower abdomen and unconsciously touched it with his hand.
Yes, she must take good care of this child and not let another accident happen like last time. Otherwise, when Zhan Yiyang comes back, how should she explain to him?
Xu Rongrong nodded, turned around, and saw...
Zhan Yiyang's subordinates.
Whether they were school officers or lieutenants, they were all so young without exception. A group of young people stood neatly in a team, guarding Zhan Yiyang behind her, their eyes as wet as mist.
.
Xu Rongrong looked to the sky...
Yiyang, have you seen it? There are so many people in this world who can’t let you go.
There are so many people who can't bear to leave you, how could you be so cruel and leave?
Tears fell down again endlessly...
"Sister-in-law." A captain came over, "Even if Major General Zhan is not the one who leads us in the future, you will still be our sister-in-law. If you need help in the future, just come to us."
Most of the soldiers spoke with confidence and sounded reassuring. Xu Rongrong nodded gratefully towards them, and finally left with Liang Shuxian.
Along the way, she did not look back at Zhan Yiyang's tombstone. She would rather believe that he was still alive, and she would rather continue to wait.
After getting in the car, Liang Shuxian looked at Xu Rongrong: "Rongrong, please come back to your old house with us first, and we can tell you something, okay?"
Xu Rongrong knew this was inevitable and said "Yeah".
Not long after, the car arrived at Zhan's house.
The rain had eased a little, and the air felt less oppressive, but Xu Rongrong looked at the group of people in the house and suddenly didn't want to go in.
The feeling at this moment is like breaking a bowl that day. It is very bad and something very bad is about to happen.
She has something to lose again.
But she has lost Zhan Yiyang, what else does fate want to take from her?
"Rongrong, let's listen to Yiyang's will first." Grandpa Zhan asked Xu Rongrong to sit next to her.
Xu Rongrong nodded, but in fact, she didn't listen at all and couldn't listen.
She still remembered that when she found the will, Zhan Yiyang promised him that the will would never be used.
Zhan Yiyang has always been a man of his word. She believes in him and he will definitely come back.
Therefore, she did not want to hear this will.
But the lawyer still dutifully announced that Xu Rongrong would inherit all Zhan Yiyang's real estate and bank deposits. His shares in Ji's family would be managed by Ji Fanyi, and the annual income would be shared equally between Xu Rongrong and the Zhan family.
Xu Rongrong signed numbly and stood up to leave.
"Rongrong." Grandpa Zhan grabbed Xu Rongrong, "Sit down, we have something to tell you."
"..." Xu Rongrong did not sit down. She looked at Grandpa Zhan with confusion and uneasiness in her eyes.
"The child in your belly...can't stay." Grandpa Zhan couldn't bear to see Xu Rongrong's reaction and looked away, "Rongrong, go and remove the child."
Xu Rongrong shook Grandpa Zhan's hand away as if he didn't know him, and ran out.
She and Zhan Yiyang's child was so important to them, but their grandfather actually said they couldn't have it and asked her to get rid of it.
That was her and Zhan Yiyang's child, the flesh and blood of the Zhan family. How could grandpa say such cruel words? Is he still the kind and generous grandpa in her impression?
No matter what, she won't let anyone hurt her child!
She wants to go! She must go! She can’t let anyone hurt her child!
"Rongrong!" He Huilan went up to stop Xu Rongrong and looked at her with tears, "You can't have this child. Just listen to us and take it away, okay?"
Xu Rongrong's eyes went from stunned to unfamiliar, and finally turned to hatred. She pushed He Huilan away, "I don't want to hear your explanation. I want to go home."
"Rongrong!" He Huilan finally cried out, "This child will kill you. I beg you, mother, to remove the child, otherwise you will die during delivery. Have you forgotten what the doctor said?
You can't get pregnant, your life will be in danger during childbirth."
"..." Xu Rongrong was stunned, tears streaming from his red eyes.
So that’s it.
No one was willing to hurt her and Zhan Yiyang's only child, but between her and the child, the adults chose her.
In order to save her, they asked him to remove the child.
This is the last bloodline of the Zhan family. Grandpa is actually very sad to make this decision, right?
Xu Rongrong wiped her tears and turned back, half-kneeling in front of her grandfather and looking at him with pleading eyes: "Grandpa, I will not take away the child."
Grandpa Zhan finally shed tears: "But Rongrong, your life will be in danger. Yiyang is gone. You are still so young, you can still find a good man to marry. Taking away the child is your best choice. Rongrong
, go ahead, we won’t blame you.”
Xu Rongrong shook his head: "I won't go."
"I know it's difficult." Grandpa Zhan held Xu Rongrong's hand, "But Rongrong, I believe Grandpa, it will get better after a while. For the sake of your future, be obedient and take care of the child..."
"I won't go." Xu Rongrong shook his head and interrupted Grandpa Zhan, his eyes as firm as his tone.
"..." Everyone stopped talking. They all knew how cruel it was to ask Xu Rongrong to take away the child at this time. But they had to say it at this time, otherwise the child would grow up day by day, and Xu Rongrong's chances of having an accident would increase.
It's getting higher and higher.
Xu Rongrong also knew that they would definitely try their best to get her to take away the child, unless... she let them see her determination.
There is a fruit knife on the coffee table.
Xu Rongrong took the fruit knife over without warning and put it on his neck.
She was not kidding, she was so strong that the sharp blade cut her skin, and bright red blood kept seeping out, dyeing the blade red...
"Rongrong!" Everyone in the room screamed in unison!
