Chapter 25: Swearing to Stay Away from the Virgin Mother (1)

Sun Ying was sentenced, but his son could still bully Li Quan with impunity.

Whenever Li Quan fought back, he would go to Liu Lan crying and complain.

Liu Lan would start lecturing Li Quan without thinking.

"Xiao Quan, your brother has lost his father, and now his mother is not with him. As his younger brother, you must protect him and not let others bully him, and you must not bully him either."

Li Quan endured this for two years and finally reached the age to go to elementary school.

Liu Lan told him, "There is only one person in the family who can go to school. As the younger brother, he should give way to his older brother."

In this way, Li Quanlian lost the opportunity to go to school and had to help Liu Lan with work all day long.

Relying on the tofu-making skills she learned at her mother's home, Liu Lan spent three years opening a small tofu shop.

Only after the family became financially well-off was Li Quan sent to school by Liu Lan. At that time, he was already 12 years old, five years older than the youngest child in the class.

Half of his mind was devoted to the tofu shop. He only went to junior high school and then stopped going there to sell tofu with Liu Lan.

The time soon arrived, the day when Sun Ying was released from prison.

She saw that Liu Lan's tofu shop was doing good business and suggested coming to help. Liu Lan agreed without hesitation.

Sun Ying said she was helping, but in reality she just sat around eating melon seeds or basking in the sun every day, doing no work at all.

Liu Lan is like an old ox. She is the one who grinds the beans, makes the braising liquid, and rides the tricycle and shouts.

Sun Ying wants half of the money he makes.

Li Quan questioned Sun Ying, but Liu Lan lectured him instead, "We are all family, there is no need to be so clear-cut."

Sun Ying felt even more at ease asking Liu Lan for money.

Over the past ten years, the tofu shop has developed into a tofu factory. Sun Ying has earned more and more money, but she is still not satisfied.

Gradually, she set her sights on the position of General Manager Li Quan after discussing with her lover.

Someone tampered with Li Quan's car, and the 24-year-old Li Quan was forced to use a wheelchair.

Later, the matter was investigated and the lover turned Sun Ying over.

Sun Ying knelt on the ground and begged Liu Lan not to send her to prison for Li Qiang's sake.

Liu Lan felt soft-hearted and told the police that it was her lover who framed Sun Ying and that Sun Ying was not involved in the incident.

He said it was not over yet, and forced Li Quan, who had just woken up from the operation and just found out that he would never be able to stand up again in his next life, to say the same thing.

Sun Ying escaped jail so easily and even got the position of general manager under Li Quan.

Li Quan never went to the tofu shop again. He stayed in his room and studied writing online.

In just a few years, the tofu factory developed rapidly and became a large company with nearly a thousand employees.

At this time, Sun Ying's son also graduated from graduate school.

Sun Ying and Liu Lan suggested giving Li Qiang the position of vice president, and Liu Lan agreed without thinking.

She felt that Li Qiang was a graduate student and must know more than her.

It’s just that Li Qiang majored in mechanical engineering in college and also did his graduate studies in the same field, so how could he understand these things?

In less than a year, Li Qiang caused the company to lose millions.

Shareholders asked Li Qiang to resign, but Liu Lan said that she wanted to give newcomers a chance to make mistakes.

Li Qiang did not let Liu Lan down and tried and failed seriously.

Not long after, the company's products were found to have used inferior raw materials. Not only did it suffer heavy losses, but the people responsible also had to bear legal sanctions.

Liu Lan went to the police station without saying a word and was sentenced to three years.

The company was completely taken over by Sun Ying and her son, but these two people really had no talent for business.

A month before Liu Lan was released from prison, the company was forced to declare bankruptcy.

Sun Ying had lived a luxurious life for so many years and couldn't stand the hard life.

When Liu Lan came out, she saw that Sun Ying and her son looked pale and thin, so she offered to raise them.

He worked three jobs every day to buy meat for Sun Ying and her son, and to eat vegetables and tofu with his son who was in a wheelchair.

The money Li Quan earned from writing books in recent years was also taken away bit by bit by Liu Lan based on her theory that "we are all family and should help each other" and given to Sun Ying and her son.

Although Liu Lan has a heart of a saint, she does not have a body of iron.

He soon became ill from exhaustion and could no longer work.

Although she could not work, she forced Li Quan to give the money he earned from writing books to Sun Ying and her son, still adhering to the "one family" theory.

Li Quan wrote books day and night to support his family.

Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer and died suddenly in front of his computer in the early morning one day.

Shortly after Li Quan's death, Liu Lan was left unattended and died of illness.

With no one to support them, Sun Ying and her son were forced to go out and find work.

Although the work was tiring and the salary was pitifully low, both of them lived to be over 80 years old.

"Wan Zi, what was the original owner's last wish?" Mu Yan asked.

"He didn't want to listen to Liu Lan anymore and let her continue to radiate the glory of the Virgin Mary. He didn't care about her anymore," Wanzai felt that this plot taught his shallow Tongsheng a wake-up call.

Mu Yan looked down at the shriveled and skinny body. The original owner was six years old and was being bullied to death by Sun Ying and her son.

Muyan thought that if she dared to poke him, he would definitely let her know what boneless chicken feet were.

"Xiaoquan, it's time to go cut grass for the lambs,"

Mu Yan heard Liu Lan calling him outside the yard. He leaned back and lay on the bed, looking at the beams, crossed his legs leisurely, and hummed a song of unknown tune.

Liu Lan stood outside the door and pushed it but it didn't open, so she knocked a few times. "Xiao Quan, if you don't go cut the grass, your lambs will starve."

Why bother with all this effort? Just kill it and eat it, Mu Yan thought.

"Boss, Sun Ying went to the cornfield," Wanzai reminded.

In a flash, Muyan went out, picked up the backpack and went to the field.

As the sun sets, people working in the fields pack up their tools and prepare to go home to cook and eat.

Muyan took the backpack and found where Wu Qin was working. When she saw Wu Qin, she opened her mouth wide and started crying loudly.

"Grandma, Grandma,"

People who were about to leave in the surrounding fields stopped, curious about what was happening.

When Wu Qin heard her grandson crying so sadly, she immediately put down the farm tools in her hands and ran over to Mo Yan.

"What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell grandma and she will help you vent your anger."

As Wu Qin spoke, she took Mu Yan and turned him around. Seeing that he was not injured, she felt relieved.

"You idiot, you only know how to cry,"

Wu Qin used her calloused thumb to wipe away the tears from Mu Yan's face.

The calluses on Mu Yan's face hurt, so she had to take a step back to avoid her movements.

"Grandma, there are a lot of creatures in the fields over there stealing corn. They have eaten a lot of my corn," she started crying again.

Farmers work hard all year but earn very little money.
