Chapter 140 Hao Gang's Accident, Huo Yanchuan Leaves in an Emergency

Wenrou originally thought the electric fan wouldn't arrive for several more days, but to her surprise, Huo Yanchuan brought it back the very next morning while she was still asleep.

The people in the compound were shocked and envious when they saw Huo Yanchuan holding an electric fan.

"Is that an electric fan? Huo Tuan actually brought an electric fan back?"

"It really is an electric fan. I've seen these on TV before. They must cost a lot of money!"

"Huo Tuan is so good to his wife. With the weather getting hotter and hotter, wouldn't it be so much cooler if there was an electric fan at home?"

"When will our family be able to afford an electric fan?"

Hearing these words, Huo Yanchuan's face didn't show any extra expression.

After he brought the electric fan home, he plugged it in for Wenrou, and the originally hot room became much cooler immediately.

I was sweating profusely from the heat when I suddenly felt a cool breeze on my body, which felt incredibly comfortable.

She was about to turn over and go back to sleep when she suddenly realized something. When she opened her eyes, she saw that there was a new electric fan on the table.

"An electric fan? You really brought it back?" Wenrou looked at Huo Yanchuan with a surprised expression.

"How are you? Still feeling cool?" Huo Yanchuan smiled indulgently at her happiness.

Wenrou nodded vigorously, "You know what, this electric fan is really great, it makes the room so much cooler right away."

With the electric fan this summer, she doesn't even want to go outside.

She stays at home every day with her two children, enjoying the electric fan, eating chilled watermelon, and occasionally snacking on sunflower seeds and watching TV. No matter how scorching the sun is outside, it doesn't bother her.

Wenrou felt that life couldn't be happier just by thinking about it.

"Are you hungry? I've already fed the baby. I'll go heat up some food for you," Huo Yanchuan said as he went to the kitchen.

She gently got up, washed up, and then began to eat.

After finishing his meal, Huo Yanchuan packed up and returned to his unit.

At noon, while her child was sleeping, she quickly made herself some food.

She had just finished eating and was engrossed in watching TV when there was a sudden, urgent knocking at the door.

Wenrou walked over and opened the door, only to see Sister Wang standing there, looking anxious. She said, "Sister, something bad has happened!"

"What's wrong, sister-in-law? What happened?" Wenrou asked with a puzzled look.

"It's Battalion Commander Hao. He's been brought back. They say he broke his leg. He's been sent to the city's military hospital for treatment. Teacher Peng just heard the news and rushed over there."

Knowing about the relationship between Wenrou and Peng Xiaowan, Sister-in-law Wang quickly told Wenrou the news.

Upon hearing this, Wenrou's expression changed drastically.

"Hao Gang had an accident? What happened? How did he break his leg?"

If you count the time, it hasn't even been a month since he left, how could something like this happen?

"I heard that enemy agents launched a sneak attack. Battalion Commander Hao was almost captured while covering everyone's retreat. He lost a leg, but thankfully he survived." That was all Wang's sister-in-law had heard.

"Sister-in-law, could you look after the two children for me while I go find Huo Yanchuan?" Wenrou said anxiously.

"Okay, go ahead, I'll look after the two kids for you."

Wenrou ran all the way from the compound to the military area. When she arrived at the gate, she saw Huo Yanchuan getting ready to get into the car.

Upon seeing Wenrou, Huo Yanchuan strode towards her.

"Huo Yanchuan, Hao Gang, he..." Wenrou anxiously wanted to ask about Hao Gang's condition. What would Peng Xiaowan do if something happened to him?

Huo Yanchuan's face was also frighteningly cold at this moment, but he looked gentle and his expression softened a bit.

"I'm going to investigate Hao Gang's matter now. You and the children wait for me at home." Due to the urgency of the situation, Huo Yanchuan could only say this much to Wenrou.

"You...you go over there and take good care of yourself, please don't let anything happen to you." Wenrou's voice trembled slightly with anxiety when she heard that he was leaving now.

She didn't know what the situation was like over there. She had heard that there were enemy agents involved, so the danger was considerable.

If Huo Yanchuan goes there at this time, there will definitely be another fierce battle.

Although she selfishly didn't want him to go, she wanted him to stay with her and the child.

But he could only think about it in his heart. As the regimental commander of the army, he had to shoulder his responsibilities.

Besides, Hao Gang is still his good brother, so Huo Yanchuan must be more worried than anyone else about what happened to him.

"Wife, I'm leaving now. Take care of yourself." Huo Yanchuan reached out and hugged Wenrou tightly for a moment before quickly letting go, turning around and striding into the car.

Time was too tight; he didn't even have time to go back and see his two children, nor did he have time to pack his luggage.

He also couldn't bear to part with his tenderness and his child, but in this situation, he could only keep his feelings to himself; the responsibilities on his shoulders were more important.

As Wenrou watched Huo Yanchuan's car drive away from the military base and get further and further away from her, she suddenly felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.

She stood there in a daze for a while before turning around and going home.

She and Huo Yanchuan had broken up before, but she didn't feel this emptiness in her heart back then.

During this time, with Huo Yanchuan around, she was able to sleep until she naturally woke up almost every day.

When she woke up, he had already prepared the meal and left it in the pot for her. She didn't have to worry about the child much either.

She had gotten used to this kind of life, but now, Huo Yanchuan's sudden departure made her feel a little uncomfortable.

However, these were not her biggest concerns. Huo Yanchuan knew Hao Gang's abilities best, and even he had suffered such serious injuries, which made her worry that something might happen to Huo Yanchuan as well.

There's another thing: Zhou Dayong went with Hao Gang, so why haven't we heard from him?

Just as she was thinking about this, Shen Qingshuang's voice came over.

"Oh dear, I heard that Battalion Commander Hao broke his leg because he was trying to steal the credit and show off. I knew he wasn't as capable as my Dayong, right?"

"How will Battalion Commander Hao, a perfectly good person, live now that he's lost a leg?"

"That's true. Battalion Commander Hao and his wife have only been married for a short time and don't even have children yet. If they leave the army, they'll probably have to go back to their hometown."

"Teacher Peng is really unlucky. What will happen if her husband becomes bedridden in the future?"

Everyone in the compound was talking about Hao Gang. Wenrou looked over there and saw Shen Qingshuang looking at her with a smug expression.

Without Hao Gang, Da Yong is sure to make a name for himself now.

Shen Qingshuang was naturally happy, and the smile on her face was impossible to hide.

As soon as her husband Dayong returns, she'll report Huo Yanchuan to the higher-ups for having connections with enemy agents, and Wenrou won't have an easy time either.

"The matter is still unresolved. How do you know that Battalion Commander Hao was vying for credit? Shen Qingshuang, I advise you to watch your words, otherwise you never know when retribution will come your way."

She glanced gently at the gossiping people, then looked coldly in Shen Qing Shuang's direction, her tone carrying a warning.

Unfortunately, Shen Qingshuang didn't take her warning to heart and looked at her defiantly, saying, "Then it's none of your business."

Everyone else knew that Wenrou and Peng Xiaowan had a good relationship, and they were afraid of saying too much and causing trouble for themselves, so they didn't dare to offend Wenrou and all turned around and went home.

"Hey, why are you all leaving? Let's chat a little longer," Shen Qingshuang called out with a smile as she watched the departing people.

Wenrou looked at her smug expression, sneered, and turned to go home.

Shen Qingshuang had better be able to keep smiling, because based on her understanding of Zhou Dayong, this matter was definitely not that simple.

After Wenrou returned home, Sister-in-law Wang went home as well.

In this situation, all she can do is wait.

We await news from Huo Yanchuan, as well as from Peng Xiaowan and Hao Gang.

At this time, she knew that Peng Xiaowan must be having the hardest time, but she also needed to take care of two children, so she was really overwhelmed and couldn't get away.

At this moment, Peng Xiaowan was brought to the door of the operating room at the military hospital.

The doctor just told her that Hao Gang's condition was critical and that he needed to have one leg amputated to save his life.

"What should I do? I... I can't sign it. Hao Gang's dream is to make a name for himself in the army. If we cut off his leg, how will he live?" Peng Xiaowan held the surgical consent form in her hand, her hands trembling. She dared not sign it.

"Doctor, please, can you save his leg?" Peng Xiaowan was so anxious she was almost crying. She knelt down before the doctor on the spot.

The female doctor standing nearby couldn't bear to see her like this, so she reached out and helped her up.

"Comrade, I understand how you feel. Your husband is currently in critical condition inside. His leg injury is extremely serious. If we try to save him and he gets an infection, he could lose not only his leg but also his life. Now that you are his family member, we need your consent for the surgery to proceed."

"Is...is it really impossible to save it?" Peng Xiaowan covered her face, her voice hoarse from crying.

Throughout the journey, she had been worried about Hao Gang, hoping he would be alright, but she never expected to receive this terrible news.

At this time, if Wenrou is by her side, she can also give her some advice.

She's all alone now and really doesn't know what to do.

"Comrade, you need to make a decision quickly; the patient is waiting for surgery," the female doctor advised.

"I...I'll sign, I'll sign...You must let him live, I beg you." Hearing the doctor's words, Peng Xiaowan could only tremble as she picked up the pen and signed her name on the surgical consent form.

Compared to losing a leg, what would she do if Hao Gang himself were gone?

After signing the papers, Peng Xiaowan waited at the door.

In the past, no matter what happened, she always had her family by her side, her older brother and Wenrou to help her. But now, she knows that she has to make her own decisions. At this time, no one can help her except herself.

Hao Gang's surgery lasted for more than eight hours, and Peng Xiaowan sat outside the operating room waiting.

She didn't eat a single bite of food or drink a single drop of water, and just sat there on the chair from evening until morning.

When the operating room door opened, she practically lunged at the doctor.

"Doctor, how is my husband?"

Her legs had gone numb from sitting for so long, but luckily a nurse nearby helped her up.

"Don't worry, the surgery was successful. Next, we need to observe the patient further. As long as the patient is completely out of danger, everything will be fine."

The doctor was also moved by Peng Xiaowan and Hao Gang's relationship. He heard that they had only been married for a short time, and anyone would not be able to bear it if her husband had done such a thing.

"Th...thank you." Peng Xiaowan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the surgery was a success.

The female doctor from before looked at Peng Xiaowan and asked with concern, "Comrade, you haven't eaten or drunk anything all night. Would you like to eat something and rest? Your husband won't wake up so soon."

Peng Xiaowan shook her head. "No need, I don't want to eat. I want to stay with him until he wakes up."

Seeing this, the female doctor stopped trying to persuade her.

After all, it's already quite remarkable that she's managed to hold on by herself until now under such circumstances.

After Hao Gang was transferred to a ward, Peng Xiaowan stayed by his side.

At this time, the military also notified Hao Gang's family, who then went to the hospital.

Peng Xiaowan only met Hao Gang's parents once, at their wedding.

After arriving at the military base in a hurry, they went back to their hometown.

Upon learning that Hao Gang had broken a leg, his mother knelt by his bedside and wept bitterly.

"Gangzi, how could this happen? What will we do if he loses his legs?"

Seeing this, Peng Xiaowan reached out to pull Hao Gang's mother, "Mom, don't be too sad."

To her surprise, the moment her hand touched her arm, she was slapped hard across the face.

"You jinx! My son just married you and this happened not long ago. If it weren't for you, and his only thought was to make a name for himself, how could he have broken a leg?" Ma Qiuying glared angrily at Peng Xiaowan.

Peng Xiaowan hadn't eaten or drunk anything all day, and now she'd been slapped. Her ears were ringing, her body was swaying and she couldn't stand up straight. Her head was spinning, and she almost fainted.

Ma Qiuying didn't think much of Peng Xiaowan as her daughter-in-law. She had already arranged a marriage for Hao Gang in the village with a relative from her own family. If the two families got married, it would be like becoming even closer relatives.

But he said he didn't like anything and insisted on marrying this jinx.

Now look what's happened. She's ruined me. I won't get any military allowance after I'm discharged, and I'll need someone to take care of me. What am I going to do?

"Alright, Gangzi hasn't woken up yet, so you should shut up too." Hao Zhiguo, who was standing to the side, frowned and growled in a low voice with a cold face.

"I'm sorry, Hao Gang was all because of me..." Peng Xiaowan felt very guilty and apologized to Ma Qiuying with her head down.

She also knew that as parents, seeing their son like this must have been just as heartbreaking for them as it was for her.

So when Ma Qiuying slapped her, she could understand it because of Hao Gang.

"Mom and Dad, don't worry, I will take good care of Hao Gang and you from now on. I will earn money to support you and take care of you in your old age," Peng Xiaowan promised Hao Gang's parents.

She had already made up her mind: now that she had married Hao Gang, no matter what he became, she would take care of him for the rest of her life.

As for his parents, she was willing to help him take care of them and provide for their old age.
