"Your son is great for defending his country. As a mother, you should set an example and set high standards for yourself, so as not to hold your son back. Lin Manyun, we have taken good care of you and assigned you easy tasks. But you don't do this or that all day long. What are you doing on the farm?"

"Do you think you are still Commander Lu's cousin? Your petty bourgeois style won't work on the farm. We won't buy into it!"

"Your son is so unlucky to have a mother like you. Maybe your son could have won the first-class merit, but you ruined it all!"

…

A cacophony of voices rang out, all accusing Lin Manyun.

They were divided into groups to work, and no one wanted to be in the same group with Lin Manyun. However, they had no say in this matter as it had to be assigned by the leader. As a result, the people in her group complained a lot.

Because Lin Manyun was slacking off, it made no difference whether she was there or not. Only nine people could do the work of ten. Naturally, the other nine were very dissatisfied and blamed Lin Manyun.

In the past, Lin Manyun was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. She allowed these people to criticize her, but she would not change and would not say a word.

Today, Lin Manyun was in a state of disbelief. Not only did she refuse to work, she also dared to talk back.

Because she had just learned that her son had made a contribution, she was very confident and planned to ask for leave tomorrow to go to the city to find her son, so that her son could use his second-class merit to buy her a chance to return to the city.

"You know nothing. Without my training, how could my son have achieved anything? You are just jealous because you don't have such a promising son. I am too lazy to argue with you. We are not the same kind of people at all!"

Looking at everyone's ugly faces, Lin Manyun became even more proud. She snorted and turned to go back to the dormitory, but saw the Lu Jiefang brothers.

"Liberation, Aid Korea, you are here, I missed you so much!"

Lin Manyun ran over happily with an exaggerated expression.

The brothers looked a little strange. What Lin Manyun said just now was particularly harsh to them. It turned out that their sister-in-law did not lie to them. Their mother was really holding them back.

They could have clearly won first-class merit, but it was all because of their mothers that they were dragged down.

"Come on, go sit inside!"

Lin Manyun did not notice anything unusual about her two sons. She was very happy now, thinking that her sons were still as obedient as before and would definitely get a second-class merit in exchange for her returning to the city.

If one second-class merit is not enough, then two will do. Fortunately, she gave birth to two sons.

The simple room was fairly clean. As soon as she entered, Lin Manyun couldn't wait to ask, "Did you really get the second-class merit?"

"Well, I got it!"

The two brothers said in muffled voices, placing the things they had brought on the table.

"My son is really promising. Mom has known for a long time that you are definitely better than that bastard Lu Ye!"

Lin Manyun was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she didn't forget to step on Lu Ye.

"We can never be better than him, Mom, stop dreaming!" Lu Jiefang said in a serious tone.

He used to be ignorant of the immensity of the world and thought that he was no worse than Lu Ye. But now he has completely recognized who he is and that he is indeed far inferior to Lu Ye, and even worse than his sister-in-law.

"Mom, are you missing a tooth?"

Lu Yuanchao's focus is always so strange. He noticed that Lin Manyun had a gap in her front teeth, which was particularly obvious when she smiled.

Lin Manyun's smile froze instantly. She closed her mouth tightly, feeling upset. Her youngest son was always so unpleasant.

"I fell down while carrying a load. I've been working like a cow here and my life is worse than death. Liberation and aid to Korea, you have made contributions now. Can you apply for permission for me to return to the city? If I stay here any longer, I'm really going to die!"

Lin Manyun held the brothers' hands tightly, crying with tears in her eyes, looking extremely miserable.

"Mom, you look well." Lu Jiefang said with a hint of sarcasm.

From the time she saw them until now, she hasn't asked them a single word of concern and only mentioned returning to the city. Doesn't their mother know that being awarded the second-class merit requires bloodshed?

"He just looks a lot older, older than dad!" Lu Yuanchao added honestly.

She still looks energetic, but her skin is dark and has many wrinkles. Now standing next to the old man, they are a perfect match.

Lin Manyun couldn't cry anymore. She felt choked up as if she had swallowed an egg. Why did her son's reaction differ from what she expected?

Shouldn't we feel sorry for her suffering on the farm and try every means to transfer her back to the city?

"If Mom had lived a good life, how could she have aged so much? You are successful now, and Mom is very relieved. When you were young, you were in poor health and often had a fever in the middle of the night. Your dad was never at home, so I took you to the hospital alone and took care of you all night long..."

Lin Manyun played the emotional card and talked about how she took good care of the two brothers when they were young.

"My dad said that Yuan Chao and I are like him. We have been strong since childhood." Lu Jiefang interrupted her, he couldn't bear to listen any more.

"Mom, didn't you say before that my brother and I have never been sick since we were young?" Lu Yuanchao honestly exposed his mother's lie.

Although these brothers are not very smart, they are in really good health. They can eat, sleep and exercise well, and they rarely go to the hospital.

"What does your dad know? He doesn't live at home. Which child doesn't get sick? You were sick when you were little. I raised you, how could I not know?"

Lin Manyun was a little annoyed, her face turned ugly, she didn't want to be tactful anymore, she directly put forward her request: "Mom is suffering here now, you have the heart to stand by and watch? Mom worked hard to raise you, I don't ask you to be filial, now that Mom is in trouble, you should lend a hand, right?"

"Mom, your reform on the farm is an honor. How can you say it's suffering?" Lu Jiefang said in a very serious tone.

"That's right, Mom, if your transformation is unsuccessful, you have to continue the transformation!" Lu Yuanchao added.

The two brothers seemed to have discussed it beforehand and refused to talk about returning to the city.

What the sister-in-law said was right. Their mother's awareness is too low. If she really goes back to the city, she will definitely get into bigger trouble. It is better for her to stay on the farm for reform. After she is completely reformed, they will find a way to transfer back to the city.

Lin Manyun's face froze. She never thought that her son, who had always been so obedient, would say such outrageous words. It made her heartbroken.

"I am your biological mother. Liberation and aid to Korea, are you so cruel?"

Lin Manyun cried very pitifully, but the two brothers were indifferent. The old man and the eldest sister-in-law had already given them a warning.

"Mom, we've been here for so long, and you never asked us if we were injured. Do you think the second-class merit fell from the sky? Do you know that we almost died during the aid mission to Korea?"

The more Lu Jiefang asked, the more upset he felt, and his voice choked up.

He became increasingly clear that his mother really didn't love him and his brother, and that she only cared about herself.

"I... I don't know. I've been worried about you. You are my flesh and blood. Yuan Chao, where are you injured? How are you now?"

Lin Manyun was a little flustered. She was overwhelmed by her eldest son's questioning. She quickly showed her concern and reached out to touch her younger son, but Lu Yuanchao dodged.

"It's all right."

Lu Yuanchao answered sullenly. Although he was not smart, he could still feel that his mother's reaction just now was very perfunctory. Although the old man always scolded them as waste, when he saw the wound on his chest, the old man's eyes turned red. His eyes were very bright and he saw it clearly.

"Mom, you should reform yourself, we are leaving!"

Lu Jiefang stood up, completely giving up the idea of ​​Lin Manyun, and dragged his brother out of the house. Behind them, they heard Lin Manyun's scolding, which was very unpleasant. They pretended not to hear it, got on their bikes and rode away quickly, completely unable to hear it.
