A week later, the attending physician came to check on the patient and frowned upon examining Li Hongjun's wound.
Shen Yunfang and Li's elderly parents were all present, and their hearts tightened at the doctor's expression.
Qiu Shuping was the most anxious, "Doctor, how is my son's leg? Can he still be a soldier?" This was her biggest concern. If her son couldn't be a soldier anymore, he would have to return home and farm, and there would be no more salary. The family would have to rely entirely on what they could grow, and how would they manage?
Her eldest son's family had many children, and without her occasional help, they would struggle to get by. And her younger son, who was so bright; without money, how could he continue his education, and if he didn't get an education, how would he ever make something of himself? Her own daughter wasn't even married yet. If her second son stopped being a soldier, how could she expect to find a good family for her?
