Chapter 243: Old Friend

When Li Mengbiao was dying, Lin Qian was already doing a good job in Thailand. But after receiving the news that his old friend was critically ill, Lin Qian flew back to Taiwan as soon as possible.

In a military village in Taoyuan, Li Zheng took Lin Qian to look for a long time before finding Li Mengbiao, who couldn't speak, in a dilapidated house halfway up the mountainside. Seeing Lin Qian coming with his son, Li Mengbiao's wife and two children were shouting loudly Li Mengbiao, he opened his eyes weakly, and when he saw Lin Qian, he still recognized it at a glance.

He grabbed Lin Qian's hand tightly, and his two eyes seemed to be able to emit light. But he could only move his lips, but he couldn't say a word. Lin Qian also held his hand tightly, skinny as wood, really like a handful of dry and dehydrated wood. Lin Qian put his ear close to his mouth, and only heard the muttering word "Son......"

Li Mengbiao swallowed his breath like this. Lin Qian helped run east and west in Taiwan, found a good cemetery, and then asked someone to erect a monument on it. Li Mengbiao's wife and children must write Lin Qian's name on the tombstone, and Lin Qian said that he would not agree to anything. He shook his head again and again, and said to Li Mengbiao's widow, sister-in-law, Brother Li and I met once, and we didn't enjoy happiness together when we were alive, so we don't have to suffer together when we die. After speaking, his eyes were moist, and he could see that he was also moved by true feelings. Li Mengbiao's son and daughter are adults, but they still kneel and kowtow three times.

Before leaving, Lin Qian had to leave a sum of money before leaving, but Li Mengbiao's family did not agree. After arguing for a long time, Lin Qian no longer insisted.

But he went out and quietly found Li Zheng and told him his wish: his good friend was in trouble, his family was in trouble, and he was uneasy. Then he solemnly gave the money to Lizheng. Li Zheng didn't dare to slack off, wrote a receipt to him, and planned to call a few respected elders in the neighborhood to witness. Lin Qian hurriedly said that there was no need, so he said goodbye here.

On the plane back to Thailand, Lin Jinfei asked his father puzzled, why did he treat Uncle Li Mengbiao's family affairs so ceremoniously?

Silent and returning to his home in Chiang Rai, he called his two sons to him, made them kneel in front of the ancestral tablet, and told a thrilling story.

It turned out that Lin Qian's family was poor when he was young, and he had to beg for food since he was a child. Later, even asking for food became an extremely difficult thing in the chaos. Although the old saying goes, "good iron does not hit nails, and good men are not soldiers", when you can only eat war meals, everyone has no choice, and when you are a soldier, you can at least have a bite to eat, and if you are not a soldier, you can only starve to death.

Lin Qian was too young at first, but the commanders in the army saw him and saw that he was yellow and thin, malnourished, and wanted to send him away. But there is going to be starvation outside, Lin Qian really has no choice, so he can only kneel and ask a fellow villager in the same county for help, and serve as a platoon commander in private, but this kind of service has no military staff, to put it bluntly, it is not even a soldier, it is just a miscellaneous service.

Fortunately, he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, coupled with his diligent hands and feet, he quickly won the favor of the platoon commander's wife, the platoon commander's wife is different from the company commander's wife, the platoon commander's wife is also a hard-working person, and she also sympathizes with Lin Qian. After coming and going, he recognized him as his godbrother.

Unfortunately, in less than two years, the platoon commander died in a battle after being promoted to deputy company commander, and the platoon commander's wife had no choice but to return to her hometown with the pension she cried and cried for. Lin Qian saw that he was going to live on the streets again.

At this time, Li Mengbiao saved him. Li Mengbiao was a clerk in Lianli at that time, and there were few literate people at that time, most of them were illiterate, and they themselves laughed at themselves as "blind with their eyes open". Li Mengbiao saw that Lin Qian had an extraordinary bearing, although he was a diligent worker, he was very measured in dealing with people, had a strict mouth, and had no vices, so he recommended him to the company commander's wife. It's a pity that the company commander's wife is too mean, Lin Qian swallowed his anger from the company commander for more than half a year, and finally found an opportunity to run to the front-line combat unit to be the leader.
