Chapter 125: The Son I Raised with Great Difficulty
Although Zou Meihua didn't really want to sever ties with Tan Chen, how could she, a person who valued face more than anything else, bow her head?
"Tan Mingshan, I've been smiling at you for two days, but you've lost your way again, right?"
"I'm telling you, the severing of ties is a done deal. No one can change it."
Tan Chen didn't care about Tan Mingshan's attitude and pulled Shang Ruoting to continue walking towards the production team. Zou Meihua glared at Tan Mingshan fiercely and followed.
The production team was much busier today than usual, with men, women, young and old all gathered there to watch the wild boar.
Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang were standing nearby directing several people to deal with the wild boar. When they looked up, they saw Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting coming over, followed by Zou Meihua, who looked furious.
Zhao Fa was about to ask what happened to Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting when Zou Meihua spoke first.
"Captain, Vice Captain Wang, today I would like you to help me bear witness. I want to sever ties with this unfilial son, Tan Chen."
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Zhao Fa and Deputy Captain Wang, but also everyone watching the wild boar were shocked.
No one in their Sihe Village has ever mentioned severing ties with their son. Zou Meihua is the first one.
The crowd was in an uproar...
"Is Zou Meihua crazy?"
"How on earth did Tan Chen offend her?"
"I think Tan Chen and his wife are doing fine. This must be Zou Meihua's doing."
"No, I just saw it in the village. Tan Chen was carrying a bloody Tan Kai back on his back. I was in a hurry to come to the team to see the wild boar, so I didn't go over to ask."
"Ah? Zou Meihua is making a fuss about breaking off relations with Tan Chen. Could it be related to Tan Kai's injury?"
"Just wait and see! Now that we're all here at the team, we'll definitely know the situation soon..."
Zhao Fa was the one who knew how Tan Kai got injured. After thinking about it, he roughly guessed the reason for Zou Meihua's action.
He was fed up with Zou Meihua, especially her unreasonable behavior, which made people want to slap her twice.
"Zou Meihua, are you making things difficult for Tan Chen again?"
When Zou Meihua was asked this question by Zhao Fa, her eyes widened and her face was full of disbelief.
"Captain, you have to understand, Tan Chen is my son, I raised him with all my heart, why would I embarrass him again?"
Deputy Captain Wang is best at finding opportunities to make use of. Shang Ruoting is now the darling of their production team, and Tan Chen is also the person that the superiors asked to take care of. He saw that Zhao Fa didn't get to the point and was retorted by Zou Meihua, so he became a little anxious.
"Zou Meihua, what do you mean by 'you raised your son with all your heart and soul'?"
"As far as I know, most of Tan Chen's military allowance was given back to his family. Tan Chen deserves the most credit for your family's better life than others."
"You separated him from Tan Chen when he was already blind. Who wouldn't understand? Isn't it because you despise him for not being able to earn work points and being a burden to the family?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the reason you're severing ties with Tan Chen today must be because of what happened to Tan Kai. He went to Tan Chen's house to steal, was discovered, and fled to the mountains, where he was attacked by a wild boar. Who can you blame for this?"
"Let me tell you, the captain and I don't have time today. The first thing we have to do tomorrow is to deal with Tan Kai."
When Zou Meihua heard that Tan Kai would be dealt with tomorrow, she immediately became anxious: "Deputy Captain Wang, my Tan Kai was wrongly accused by Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting, that unlucky guy. He would never do such a thing. You must not listen to Tan Kai and Shang Ruoting's nonsense..."
Deputy Captain Wang saw Zou Meihua's excuses and laughed instead of getting angry: "Zou Meihua, I heard this from the captain. Are you saying that the captain is talking nonsense?"
Zou Meihua realized she had said the wrong thing and quickly slapped her mouth a few times: "Pfft, pfft, pfft... Look at my mouth that's not closed. Captains, please don't take it personally. I was talking about Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting, how could I possibly be talking about the captain?"
Zhao Fa was really angry at this moment: "Zou Meihua, Tan Kai's theft was not only witnessed by Tan Chen and Shang Ruoting, but also by several women digging wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain who saw him running up the mountain. I even saw him there with my own eyes. What else can you say to defend him?"
Seeing this, Zou Meihua knew that she could no longer argue for Tan Kai and could only play the victim in front of everyone.
"Captains, please be kind... I only have this one caring son, and nothing can happen to him..."
Deputy Captain Wang was furious when he saw her expression, but he didn't show it.
"Zou Meihua, please stop arguing. I want to ask you something."
Zou Meihua thought that Vice Captain Wang had softened his heart and looked at him seriously.
Deputy Captain Wang continued slowly, "I just want to ask if Tan Chen is your biological son?"
When Tan Chen heard this, his body stiffened instinctively. Shang Ruoting, who was standing next to him, also sensed his abnormality and observed his expression out of the corner of her eye.
Although Tan Chen did not show any obvious abnormality, one could tell from his tightly pursed lips that he was very nervous at the moment.
Zou Meihua hadn't expected that Vice Captain Wang would ask her this question. She paused, her face a little flustered...
