Chapter 095 Chapter 95 Red Mole

Lin Yue and his family came out of Xu's father's house. Zhang Yuandong held Lin Yue's hand and asked quietly, "Are you angry about what I just said?"

Lin Yue looked up in confusion and asked, "What are you referring to?"

Zhang Yuandong clenched his fingers nervously and stammered, "It's about following the army. I just said that, although it was to reassure your father, but in my heart I really hope that you can agree to it. Now I can't promise you anything, but when I come back from further studies, I will almost be promoted to the regiment level, and then my family can follow the army. I want... I want you and the children to follow me to the army. I know that you don't need my care. No matter where you are, you are capable of living a good life. I am selfish and I want to be closer to you..."

Although his current administrative level is sufficient, he is still a company commander. There are many people in the army who apply to accompany the troops every year, and the leaders cannot easily approve his application. Fortunately, he will go to the command academy for a year of further study soon. This further study is to prepare for the promotion to the regiment level. When the time comes, it will be much easier for his family to accompany the troops.

Lin Yue met his expectant eyes, and her expression softened unconsciously. She couldn't help but curl up her lips, and said with shining eyes: "I also mentioned this to my father today. Otherwise, why do you think he didn't react much when we were having dinner just now?"

Zhang Yuandong's eyes widened in surprise. He tried his best to suppress the ecstasy in his heart and carefully confirmed: "So, you don't object to following the army with me? And..." He had thought about this a long time ago, and it was not his sole wish.

Lin Yue nodded. She found an opportunity to chat with Xu's father alone today and told him what might happen in a few years. However, she made up a dream and put all of Xu's father's future experiences into this dream. Finally, she asked: "Dad, the Far East is promoted very quickly. You know that I will definitely go to join the army in a few years. I am really worried about you living here alone. When I was young, I fought against landlords. Who knows if there will be other struggles in a few years! And look at Xujia Village, they even have a bad element living in the cowshed there, isn't it because of overseas connections! What if someone uses the affairs of mom and grandma to make trouble for you, what will you do!"

Father Xu wanted to brush this matter off with a few words, but seeing the genuine concern in Lin Yue's eyes, he couldn't bear to just brush her off. After hesitating for a while, he finally revealed something: "I might be transferred to work somewhere else. Don't worry about me. Many of my old friends now have high positions. If the thing you're worried about really happens, I think I can still protect myself."

However, during the turmoil two years later, many people with high positions suffered worse fates than ordinary people. Lin Yue was anxious but could not speak out, and even hoped that Xu's father could go abroad to reunite with her biological mother.

The days are short in winter, so the family set out early and were not in a hurry on the road. The two children ran and stopped along the way, sometimes competing to see who ran faster, and sometimes hanging on Zhang Yuandong's arm to swing. When the family was tired, they slowed down their pace, and when they had a good rest, they chased each other. When they returned to Xiaotian Village, the sky was already full of colorful clouds.

Passing by Auntie Wang San's house, I saw Zhang Shouxin coming out to pour water. I don't know if it was because he saw someone coming, but he splashed the water in the basin onto the road and turned around and hurried home.

Although they only met once, Lin Yue could still see the wounds on his face. After getting the divorce certificate that day, he and Liu Jianhua had agreed to go through the formalities the next day, but he didn't know what they discussed after returning. Zhang Shouxin regretted it the next day and said he would not agree to the divorce no matter what. Liu Jianhua's three younger brothers are not easy to get along with. Their eldest sister has suffered so much, how could she let him off so easily! It would be better if Zhang Shouxin didn't make trouble, but now he is going back on his word, which gives them the opportunity. They come to Xiaotian Village on time every day to beat Zhang Shouxin up. They don't beat him too hard, but they make him suffer and lose all his face.

The three men made a promise that if Zhang Shouxin refused to divorce, they would beat him up and would not stop until he divorced. Zhang Shouxin did not insist for a few days and finally divorced before the New Year.

Because of Liu Jianhua, Lin Yue had a good impression of Zhang Shouxin before, but because of Liu Jianhua, she now looked down on this man. Lin Yue just glanced at his back indifferently, and then walked home with Zhang Yuandong and the child.

As soon as I walked to a street corner not far from home, I saw Sun Hongmei and several women in their 40s and 50s sitting in the corner chatting. Several aunts asked about her health, and Sun Hongmei shouted in a hoarse voice: "Oh, you're well now! I have a miserable life, I don't have the luck to enjoy life. When I was sick, my daughter-in-law didn't even take me to take care of me! But then again, I'm not blessed, I dare not let her take care of an old woman like me!"

It is said that Zhang Xiaoxi was not sent to a juvenile detention center, but was sent to the most tiring farm in the county to participate in labor reform. After hearing about their sister's situation, the twin sons came back briefly, had a big fight with Sun Hongmei and her husband, and left in a hurry. In just a few months, Sun Hongmei became so thin that her cheeks were sunken and her cotton jacket was shaking when she wore it.

Lin Yue heard that she had a serious illness some time ago and had just recovered. Today, she seemed to be in good spirits and had a loud voice. She was probably so happy because her brothers had come back to celebrate the New Year and she felt that she had earned her face.

Zhang Yuandong couldn't bear to hear her muttering about Lin Yue like that, and was about to step forward, but was pulled back by Lin Yue. She responded loudly, "Hey, mother-in-law, you are talking about me! I did something wrong. You didn't want others to know about your miscarriage, and I rushed to visit you. It's only right that you drove me out. Now that it's been so long, don't be angry with me, mother-in-law!"

Lin Yue didn't think it was a big deal. Her mother gave birth to her brother when she was over 40 in her previous life, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She knew about Sun Hongmei's pregnancy because Sun Hongmei took advantage of Zhang Yuandong's absence and showed off to Lin Yue, asking Lin Yue to take care of her "older pregnant woman". But maybe it was because of her age, Sun Hongmei had a miscarriage not long after.

After all, what was lost was a life. Lin Yue didn't want to say anything. But who made Sun Hongmei blame her for this matter? She said it was because Lin Yue didn't serve her mother-in-law and insisted that Lin Yue was a coward.

The words Lin Mei said last time were really put to good use by these shameless people. In this society, if a woman gets involved in anything related to t, she will be criticized for a long time. If Lin Mei hadn't gone back to school early, she would have to catch her!

The faces of the aunties present were instantly full of excitement, and they secretly covered their mouths and exchanged glances with each other. In this era, it was not uncommon to have many children, but although Sun Hongmei was younger, Zhang Zhiwei was already nearly sixty years old. Now she had given birth to a child without any notice, which was considered a big news in the village.

Sun Hongmei was so angry that she fell backwards. She tried her best not to let others know, but Lin Yue's loud voice still made it known. Don't think she doesn't know. What do you mean by visiting her? It's obviously to see her laugh! If she really has such good intentions, she wouldn't just come to her house with two potatoes!

But because her eldest son was there, she didn't dare to say anything more. She just spat fiercely and hurried home. But when she turned around, she saw her two younger sons walking towards her with a bag on their backs. She panicked immediately, walked up to them quickly, pulled off the bags on their backs, and cursed, "It's New Year's Day, what's wrong with you two? Where are you going with bags on your backs?"

Zhang Shouren stiffened his neck and said, "Our school is open today, we have to go back to school!"

Sun Hongmei said angrily, "You two are such idiots. You're rushing to school before the New Year is even over. Who has offended you again?"

The two brothers refused to speak, but Zhang Zhiwei came up to them breathlessly and scolded them, "Two little bastards! Let them go! If you have the guts, don't come back again!"

Zhang Shouyi said: "Do you think we are willing to come back? It is a shame for us to have parents like you! If the school had not locked the door and the public security comrades had to let us go home, do you think we would come back?"

Zhang Zhiwei was humiliated in public, so he took off his worn cotton shoes and threw them at him, but unfortunately he didn't hit anyone with enough force. Zhang Shouyi stepped forward and kicked the shoe far away, saying, "You have such stinky feet, your shoes are already pickled, and you still have the nerve to take them off!"

After saying that, he grabbed his brother and tried to run away. Zhang Zhiwei was so angry that he covered his chest and gasped.

The two ran to Zhang Yuandong and were grabbed by him. Thinking he was angry, they stammered, "Brother, sister-in-law..."

Zhang Yuandong glanced at the two people not far away and said sternly, "It's almost dark, why are you running around! Stay at my house first, and if you want to go back to school, wait until tomorrow morning!"

When they heard this, their eyes lit up. They quickly agreed, bent down, picked up the two children, and followed their eldest brother and sister-in-law with joy.

Lin Yue quietly turned his head to glance at Sun Hongmei, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

In fact, Sun Hongmei's illness was not completely cured. After what happened, she didn't know whether she was really sick or not, but she was bedridden again.

Lin Yue "kindly" visited her every day, bringing her tea and water when there were people around, and telling her that evil deeds would bring bad consequences when there were no people around. Sun Hongmei was very annoyed, but she was lying on the kang and couldn't get her to leave. As for Zhang Zhiwei, it was not known whether he really didn't see the twists and turns in the relationship or was just pretending to be deaf and dumb, but he kept silent and never got involved in the relationship between the two.

Sun Hongmei was really fed up with Lin Yue. After just a few days, she couldn't stand it anymore. She pushed Lin Yue hard and cursed, "Get out of here! I don't need you to pretend to be a filial son and a virtuous grandson!"

Lin Yue was holding a bowl of millet porridge in his hand. When he saw the situation was not good, he quickly let go. The full bowl of millet porridge spilled everywhere, and Sun Hongmei's sleeves and quilt were all wet.

Lin Yue exaggerates and shouts: "Oh, Mom, why are you so careless! This porridge has just been served, take off your clothes quickly, or you will get burned!" Then he rolls up her sleeves and keeps muttering: "Oh, by the way, there are people in this room, it's not convenient for you to take off your clothes, let me roll up your sleeves for you first!"

She turned Sun Hongmei's arm over. Although Sun Hongmei's arm was not very smooth, it was clean. Lin Yue's heart skipped a beat, and he pulled Sun Hongmei's other arm over and did the same thing. Sure enough, he found a red mole on the inside of her arm, exactly the same as what Lin Laoer described!

Sun Hongmei had long lost her patience, so she pulled her arm away and cursed, "What are you doing here? Look, you've made my clothes and quilt dirty! Get out of here quickly, I need to change my clothes!"

There were a few aunties sitting in the room. They were usually close to Sun Hongmei, not that they had a very good relationship, but they all liked to gossip about others behind her back. When they heard that Sun Hongmei wanted to change her clothes, they all stood up and walked out the door.

Lin Yue shouted, "It's you! No wonder Second Uncle Lin never told me who kidnapped me. I didn't expect it was you who did it! Okay, just wait for jail time!" After saying that, he walked past a few aunts and walked quickly out the door, leaving everyone in the room staring in shock at Sun Hongmei, who was half-sitting on the kang and whose face was pale with fear.
