"Children, can you tell us where your mother went?" After asking, Liu Yanran learned that the two little boys were seven and five years old. Perhaps because the younger one was often taken care of by his mother, he behaved very politely, while the older one bore some resemblance to Chen Erhe.
"Mom's in the cellar. Dad said some bad guys are trying to take her away and won't let her go out, but she said she wants to be with her grandparents." Chen Erhe tried to cover his son's mouth, but it was too late. Two plainclothes police officers, upon hearing the location, rushed in and found Mu Qingqing tied to a dog chain in the cellar. Her face was flushed and she looked dazed, clearly suffering from a high fever.
Liu Yanran glanced coldly at Village Chief Chen and said in a chilling tone, "Village Chief, I will report this matter to the county. The customs of your village are truly disgraceful!" With that, she turned and left the scene, leaving Village Chief Chen and the villagers in shock. Li Xiuxiu and a female plainclothes officer carried Mu Qingqing out. Liu Yanran thought for a moment and took Mu Qingqing's youngest son with her. As for the eldest son, he was already a waste and would only be an ungrateful child if he stayed with Mu Qingqing.
Chen Erhe was also arrested. Regardless of whether Mu Qingqing was willing to marry him or not, he was now imprisoning her in the cellar of his home against her will, which was a crime.
Fortunately, apart from restricting her freedom, Chen Erhe did not abuse her. He gave her every meal. Apart from the injuries on the corners of her mouth and legs, she only had symptoms of a cold and fever.
This made everyone feel relieved. After all, this situation was much better than expected. However, Mu Qingqing's physical condition was still worrying. She needed proper treatment for a period of time before she could recover.
During this process, Liu Yanran has been by Mu Qingqing's side, giving her warmth and comfort. At the same time, she is also thinking about how to help Mu Qingqing reintegrate into society and start a new life.
The law will render a fair judgment to Chen Erhe, while Mu Qingqing needs more care and support to move on from this dark experience and embrace a bright future.
The story was this: Mu's parents sent a letter, but the letter was read by the eldest son. Mu Qingqing had been dedicated to teaching the two children to read and learn, so they knew quite a few words.
After reading the letter, the eldest son discovered that the implication was that his mother was still trying to find a way to return to the city and was planning to divorce his father. If that didn't work out, she might even abandon him and his brother.
This news made him very angry, so he told his father and grandparents about it. As you can imagine, Mu Qingqing was severely beaten by her husband and eventually locked up in the cellar.
However, the eldest son did not think he had done anything wrong in this incident, because he just wanted to keep his mother. Although someone later took his father away, he still firmly believed that his father had done nothing wrong and that everything he did was just out of his desire to keep his family intact.
Afterwards, his grandparents went to beg his mother to issue a letter of apology, claiming that his father's behavior did not constitute illegal detention, but was simply a manifestation of his excessive love for her!
Only then did he suddenly realize that this was wrong. What shocked him even more was that his parents' marriage was an elaborate scam from the beginning. His father had gone to great lengths to deceive his mother.
She had originally planned to live with him for the sake of her child, but in the end, her father cut off her way to return to the city to take the college entrance examination, defrauded her grandparents of their money, and even hired someone to beat them up. This made her decide not to live with her father anymore and wanted to return to the city.
Despite this, his mother still chose to issue a letter of understanding because his grandparents were strongly opposed to him and his brother leaving with their mother, and she did not want him to bear the shame of his father in prison and become the target of public criticism.
Finally, his grandparents came to take his mother and brother away. Watching them leave, he felt a surge of envy. If he had stood firmly on his mother's side, perhaps he could have won custody of his own children?
How could Mu Qingqing bear to do that? Even though the child didn't stand by her side later, it was a piece of her flesh and blood! Even though she secretly gave the child money before leaving, she was still worried that the Chen family would eventually lead the child astray.
However, what she never expected was that she would soon be reunited with her child. Chen Erhe ultimately failed to escape legal punishment.
Because he owed a huge gambling debt, he was desperate to sell his son. Fortunately, her father contacted the relevant personnel in time, disguised himself as the buyer, bought the child, and called the police to arrest Chen Erhe.
In this way, she was finally able to reunite with her eldest son. Six months later, the child had become noticeably thinner and unusually quiet. However, she firmly believed that as long as the whole family could be together and live in a loving family environment, her eldest son would surely regain his cheerful nature.
So, she decided to change her eldest son's name to Mu Ci, which means saying goodbye to the past and welcoming a new beginning; and her second son was named Mu An, which expresses her good wishes for their future growth, happiness and health.
