Reborn at Boot Camp: General, Don't Mess Around!

Chapter 2218



At the mention of his deceased daughter, the old man’s smile faded a lot. “Your mother was poor since she was young. It was your grandmother and me who mistreated her and let her die early.”

“If you say that, Mom would be sad if she were still alive.” Li Jinnian pursed his lips and looked at the old man calmly. “Mom never thought that you and Grandma treated her badly. If not for the two of you protecting her, I might not exist in this world.”

“Your mother was a sweetheart since she was a child.” The old man’s withered fingers gently caressed the photo of his daughter, who had been dead for almost 20 years. Tears already flickered in his eyes. “Your mother and uncle... suffered too much with us.”

Li Jinnian raised his hand and gently wiped the tears from the old man’s eyes. His grandfather and grandmother had gone through many sufferings, but they still contributed to the country without complaint. He admired them for that.

The old man and the old madam’s three sons and one daughter died one after another. When the old madam was 37 years old, she gave birth to another daughter, Fu Yu’an.

Life had just stabilized for less than two years before conflict arose again. Because the Fu family was suddenly reported to be harboring evil intentions, the Fu family, who finally had a place to live, found themselves in trouble again.

Old Master Fu’s youngest sister, who was also the only daughter of the Fu family, got married in a hurry. Half a year later, Old Master Fu handed his son, Fu Yusheng, who had just turned one month old, to his sister’s family. He originally thought that he would go back and pick him up after the period of unrest. Unexpectedly, his youngest son, Fu Yusheng, was handed over to his sister’s family where he was raised until he was four years old.

Later on, he lost contact with his sister’s family, which meant he also lost contact with his son, Fu Yusheng. It was only when Fu Yusheng was 10 years old that they found him and brought him back.

“I named them Yu’an and Yusheng as a wish for them to be safe for the rest of their lives, but in the end, I failed at protecting them.” The old man flipped through the photo album page by page. He saw his three sons and one daughter who had died early. His heart had always been heavy.

When he saw a handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, the old man’s sigh seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his chest. It was so heavy that the air froze.

“Jinnian, your uncle hasn’t been home in four years. I don’t know what’s been happening lately, but I keep thinking about him.” This was the only son who managed to grow up into an adult, and he was the only child who managed to survive. The old master’s sleepy voice trembled a little. “... I wonder if I can hang on until he comes back.”

With that, the old man coughed deeply. At that moment, his already hunched back bent even more and he looked even older.

Li Jinnian, who quickly stood up to calm the old man down, said in a low voice, “There’s a problem with Uncle’s work. He won’t be able to come back even if he wants to. Don’t worry, when Uncle’s matter is over, he’ll definitely rush back to see you.”

Li Jinnian’s uncle, Fu Yusheng, had followed in his father’s footsteps. Now, he was working in missile research and development in a remote area of the country. It was normal for him not to return for three to five years.

The old man, whose health was deteriorating day by day, had been thinking about his only living son recently. Sometimes, he could look at Fu Yusheng’s photo for the entire day.

Hearing this, Li Jinnian pursed his lips into a sharp line. His uncle couldn’t be filial to his grandfather. As a junior, he had to help his elders resolve their problems. Ye Jian... he had to look for her again!

“Jinnian, if your maternal grandfather can’t hold on long enough to wait for your uncle’s return, you have to remember to continue looking for your aunt on behalf of your uncle and the Fu family. You have to find her. Even if... she’s not alive, you have to find her family, do you understand?”
