"Mom, how has my elder brother been living all these years?"
Upon hearing this, Madam Leng sighed and replied, "Your brother enlisted quite early, when he was only fifteen or sixteen. For many years, he's been training on military grounds."
Hearing this, Leng Ming Yue asked as if remembering something, "My brother isn't getting any younger, has he started a family yet?"
Madam Leng paused in surprise and responded, "I'm not sure, I haven't had the chance to ask your father yet..."
"Ming Yue, you should be kind to your brother in the future, okay? He's certainly endured a lot of hardship over the years..."
Leng Ming Yue promptly nodded in agreement.
