Chapter 193 What virtue is there?
"That was a secret mission, how could I not know?"
"Oh, do you know that Li Yan and I risked our lives to save someone back then?"
"I don't know. What? Are you bragging about finding a beautiful doctor wife, while my brother and I both married village women?"
"Du Hexiang, I respect and admire my wife. We joined forces to save that person. You only think about your own suffering, but which revolutionary soldier of that era didn't suffer and risk their life? Without risking their life, the only one who can enjoy life is a traitor!"
When we found him, he had a huge hole in his abdomen, his intestines were spilling out, and he was also pierced in the shoulder. He was completely unconscious and had a persistent high fever. To save him, Li Yan risked her life to go to the hospital to get anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs. To protect him, I wore his clothes and pretended that he was escaping, and I was almost shot dead by the Japanese soldiers.
Luckily, we were all lucky enough to escape, and that's why I can reveal the secret to you today. Du Hexiang, when he woke up, asked us why we risked our lives for a stranger. I told him that I saw he had the same military insignia as my older brother, Du Hexiang, so I had to save him. That's why he remembered your name and remembered you as my brother.
"This...is this real?" Du Hexiang knew that the person did indeed have wounds on their abdomen and shoulder.
Du Heming continued, "As for my joining the bank, he didn't ask me to, and I didn't need him to. It wasn't because of you; it was my own ability. In the early stages of national development, we needed talents from all walks of life."
Back then, while I was diligently learning the abacus, doing calculations, and studying various books, you were out having fun. You said you looked down on pale-faced scholars and wanted to be a general... Your father respected your choice and sent you to a relatively safe unit.
Later, when you became a general, did you take it all for granted? Didn't you remember that you were originally just a wandering hoodlum, and that you climbed your way up by stepping on others?
"You...you shut up! Shut up, you're talking nonsense! I became a general because of my own efforts. You couldn't have done it. How could you have saved him? You did it because of me! You all did it because of me! You, Du Hetian, became the principal because of me. Others only respect you because of me. The Du family has become proud because of me..." Du Hexiang continued to argue irrationally, becoming somewhat frantic.
“Du Hexiang, there are gods watching over us. All demons and monsters cannot escape the judgment of justice. What have you and those others done? Even if you have temporarily escaped judgment, a more cruel spiritual trial awaits you. Don’t be so smug in front of us in the future. What have you done to deserve this?” Du Heming looked at his elder brother—a hypocrite—with disdain.
"Shut up, shut up! I am the 'General'! The General!"
After Du Heming finished speaking, he knelt down in front of the old lady. "Mother, I'm so tired. You and Dad both know about those things. You asked us to keep it from him to protect his fragile and sensitive heart. Fine, we listened. I've endured for so long to protect such a disloyal and unjust person, and I've let Li Yan keep it a secret for so many years."
But this man is selfish, treacherous, and cunning. He completely disregards brotherhood and is always sabotaging me from behind. This time, he even tried to frame me for embezzlement and bribery. Not content with just harming me, he also wants to drag Hongxue and Xiaoyue into it. He's trying to destroy my family! Mother, I'm sorry, I can't take it anymore, and I don't want to anymore.”
“Heming, your eldest brother… he… he actually framed you? Heavens above, how could I have raised such a beast! Hexiang, my second son, I'm so sorry to have wronged you. This isn't your fault, it's not your fault, it's because we didn't raise him properly. We made you give in to him from a young age, who knew he was such a beast, he doesn't deserve it! He framed his own brother…”
"Mother, Mother... Aunt Chen..." The old lady fainted. Du Hetian hurriedly opened the door. Aunt Chen heard the shouts and ran over, quickly feeding her the emergency medicine that had been prepared.
