Chapter 130 The in-laws are most concerned about their daughter-in-law, Shu Ying.

They've been at the base for so long that they don't even know where they put the notebook with Shu Ying's phone number on it.

Xie Wenyuan hurriedly walked towards Huang Meiling with the newspaper in his hand.

“Meiling, look, they’re cracking down hard on capitalists right now. I’m worried that this trend is too extreme. What will happen to Shu Ying if the Shu family gets implicated?”

Huang Meiling quickly grabbed the newspaper: "How could this happen?"

Just as the two were getting worried, they saw the community mediator Yu Guangyao walk over.

"Engineer Xie, Engineer Huang, since you two are both here, I have something to say to you."

The two men exchanged a glance, and Xie Wenyuan put away his newspaper: "Director Yu, please feel free to speak your mind."

Yu Guangyao seemed to find it difficult to speak, but when he met Huang Meiling's expectant gaze, he could only bite the bullet and try to calm the two of them down first.

"What I'm about to say is good news for you, but not entirely, so please don't get too excited."

Xie Wenyuan grasped Huang Meiling's hand, noticed Yu Guangyao's subtle expression, and thought that it might be related to Xie Zhiyan's matter.

"Director Yu, we can handle anything, just tell me directly."

Yu Guangyao glanced at the seats next to him and gestured for the two of them to sit down first, giving them a boost of confidence.

"We've got news about your son. The army just contacted me, saying he made a great contribution on the front lines and is back now, but—"

He met the eager gazes of the two men, and he must have gone over his words countless times. He originally wanted to downplay the issue, but he couldn't bear to hide it.

Huang Meiling's voice trembled slightly: "Director Yu, but what? What happened to my son?"

Yu Guangyao quickly explained, "Don't worry too much. His situation is a bit special. The train he was on on his way back to Beijing was involved in a collision and exploded."

Huang Meiling rolled her eyes and felt a sudden dizziness. Some time ago, they had heard about a train explosion and were still feeling sorry for it. They never expected that their son was on that train.

She felt dizzy and suddenly lost all strength in her limbs. Although Xie Wenyuan was also panicked, he caught her immediately.

"Meiling! How are you now? Take a deep breath, don't be afraid, I'm here for you."

Yu Guangyao immediately helped by pinching her philtrum: "Oh dear, look at the mess this has made. I didn't dare to tell you too many details. Fortunately, she was taken to the hospital in time and has now woken up. He just contacted our unit to tell you two not to worry. Her condition is stable now and she has passed the critical period."

Huang Meiling: ...

The weight that had been pressing on her chest gently dissipated, and she felt her breathing become easier.

Her voice was a little weak: "Director Yu, next time you have something to say, could you please finish it all at once?"

Xie Wenyuan wiped the sweat from his forehead with one hand, and clenched his fists tightly with both hands: "It's good that no one was sacrificed, it's good that no one was sacrificed."

He didn't want another hero to appear in his family.

Xie Zhiyan wanted to contribute to the country, and as his father, he supported him. However, compared to Xie Zhiyan's lofty ambitions, he hoped even more that his son could stay healthy.

Xie Wenyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Good lad, you've done well!"

Yu Guangyao was still shaken. Fortunately, this was good news; otherwise, if these two senior researchers had collapsed today, his sins would have been immense.

He would feel extremely tormented whenever bad news came from someone's family.

He didn't know how to explain this to the researchers.

But if it's good news, he'll be even happier. As the life coordinator, he has to treat everyone here as his own family and everyone's problems as his own.

"Okay, now that you all have the general information, if there's nothing else, I'll go and get back to work."

He got up to leave, but Huang Meiling quickly followed up, "By the way, Director Yu, is there any news about my daughter-in-law from the military? We really can't get in touch with her."

Yu Guangyao slapped his forehead hard with one hand, then sat down again, his words carrying a hint of self-loathing.

"Look at my brain, I was so focused on talking about Xie Zhiyan that I was completely stunned and forgot about the most important thing."

Huang Meiling and Xie Wenyuan then came over.

Yu Guangyao explained, "The person who contacted me said that your daughter-in-law has gone to join the army, and she has brought two children with her, a boy and a girl, a pair of twins. She is currently taking care of Xie Zhiyan in the hospital. They said that all the problems you were worried about have been resolved, and you can rest assured."

Xie Wenyuan's eyes widened in surprise: "Two children?"

He quickly realized what was happening and excitedly grasped Huang Meiling's hand: "Meiling, we're grandparents now! We have a grandson and a granddaughter all of a sudden!"

Huang Meiling couldn't hide her smile: "Yes, it's good that Yingying is alright. It's just that I, as her mother-in-law, haven't been able to help at all. She's already several years old, and we've never even met her. It's really wrong of me."

The two of them were laughing heartily, but after a brief moment of joy, they suddenly remembered something, and Huang Meiling's expression turned serious.

The other party never mentioned Shu Ying's parents, and this situation is very unfavorable to them. Could something have happened?

She clasped her hands together nervously: "Director Yu, are we in-laws?"

Yu Guangyao sighed helplessly: "He didn't say that, but you guys kept asking me to ask around, and it's very likely that the two of them have passed away."

He was initially unwilling to believe it, since it wasn't exactly good news, but after asking around for a long time and consulting with five or six different groups of people, he received the same answer.

Huang Meiling understood. She remembered that when they parted for the last time, Shu Ying's parents had told them that their daughter was immature and that they should be more understanding.

It feels like just yesterday that the two families reunited, but today they are separated by death.

"Thank you for your trouble, Director Yu. Please go ahead and get back to work."

Yu Guangyao only offered two words of comfort, leaving the two of them alone.

Huang Meiling's spirits seemed to have weakened: "My mother-in-law is such a good person. The two of them shouldn't have been involved in this disaster. They went abroad to further their medical skills. This is just an undeserved calamity."

The Shu couple were understanding and kind. Because they couldn't bear to see people suffering from illness, they often paid out of their own pockets to treat ordinary people.

Not only was the Shu family's century-old legacy destroyed here, but their hearts were set on serving their country, and they shouldn't have ended up like this.
