Although Sun Guohong had made it through eventually, he still bore a grudge against these closest relatives. These two people were no longer his kin, but devils. Blood-sucking devils!

Zhai Sheng had always paid close attention to Sun Guohong’s situation. Upon finding out about Sun Guohong’s situation, he had asked Sun Guohong. His injuries were indeed a little embarra.s.sing, but once he recovered, it would not hinder his partic.i.p.ation in any further missions. With Sun Guohong’s capability, he could return to the army and make a career for himself. Otherwise, it would be a waste for such a talent like Sun Guohong to leave the military.

But Sun Guohong rejected Zhai Sheng’s good intentions. “It’s all right, chief. Thank you for your concern during this period of time. Without you, I don’t know if I would have been able to pull through. I’ve spent so much of your money during my time in the hospital. I don’t even know how long I’ll have to work to repay this sum of money.”

At that time, Sun Guohong was utterly dispirited. Perhaps, he would be gone in less than two years’ time.

He was the eldest son in the family, so he was destined to take on more responsibility from the time he was born. Mother Sun had gotten pregnant with Sun Guoming when she was thirty-nine years old. Given the Sun family’s situation, they were not allowed to have a second child, even if they lived in the countryside.

But Mother Sun had gotten an IUD according to the family planning guidelines. She had gotten pregnant accidentally. Putting that aside, Mother Sun was already considered to be having a geriatric pregnancy. When she visited the hospital for a checkup, the doctor advised Mother Sun that abortion would be even more dangerous than giving birth. Mother Sun’s body was unsuitable for an abortion. If the government insisted on it, their hospital would not bear any responsibility if anything were to happen to Mother Sun in the process.

It was not that Mother Sun was unwilling to abort the child. She had also followed the government guidelines by getting an IUD, but the doctor had said that she was unsuitable to get an abortion and that she might even lose her life by doing so. The government could not possibly send a person to death just for the sake of family planning.

There was no other choice. After the village chief discussed the matter with the family planning department, they issued Mother Sun a special permit to give birth. After all, it was not Mother Sun’s fault that she had gotten pregnant. If anything were to happen to Mother Sun because she did not give birth to the child, neither the village chief nor the family planning department was willing to bear such a hefty responsibility. They could not possibly afford to repay a life!

When Mother Sun turned forty, she finally gave birth to Sun Guoming. It could be said that Mother Sun was not the only one to have given birth to more than one child within the Sun village, but Mother Sun was the only one who had obtained a special permit and was not fined for giving birth to an additional child.

It was probably because of this extraordinary circ.u.mstance that she was extremely prideful. Even while Sun Guoming was still in her stomach, Mother Sun already placed great importance on this child. Once this child was born, Mother Sun realized that her younger son’s physique was worlds apart from her elder son’s.

Seeing her tall and strong elder son, Mother Sun always lectured her elder son, reminding him to take good care of his younger brother, Sun Guoming, so that no one would dare to bully him. If Sun Guohong were to make a name for himself in the future, he had to bring his younger brother along and give him a hand.

While Sun Guohong was still studying, his academic results were still all right. He had not fared poorly on his college entrance examination, and he had managed to enter a better third-tier university. Sun Guohong filled in his application, and as soon as his admission letter arrived, Sun Guohong would be able to go to university.

But Sun Guoming, who was not yet two years old, suddenly suffered from appendicitis and had to be sent to the hospital for treatment.
