Lan Zhi knew what mistake her parents had made.
She nodded and said "hmm".
Lan Min asked, "Grandpa, what did my parents and eldest brother do wrong? Why can't you and grandma help my parents?"
She remembered that no matter what her parents did, as long as her grandmother stepped in, she could help them solve the problem.
The old patriarch sighed, patted Lan Min's head lovingly, and said, "Min'er, don't ask anymore. Just know that your uncle is not to blame for your parents' affairs. From now on, you must behave well and don't think about things that don't belong to you."
The two younger sons went down a path of no return because they wanted too many things that did not belong to them.
In fact, the old couple were very conflicted. They knew that the eldest son was not to blame for this matter, but because they felt sorry for their two younger sons, they couldn't help but resent the eldest son.
Before Lan Min could ask anything, Lan Jie came in hurriedly. Without even knocking on the door, he hurried in, took his sister's hand, and said to his grandparents, "Grandpa, grandma, Min'er has been crying and asking for her parents these past few days. No matter how I comfort her, it's useless."
"I'll take her out for a walk."
There are only two siblings in the third room.
Ren Shuning had told her two sons in advance that if she went to jail, they should take good care of their younger sister.
Lan Bin also went in, and Lan Jie took over the responsibility of taking care of and raising his younger sister.
"It's cold outside, put on more clothes and take Min'er out skiing."
Lan Jie nodded, and then expressed his concern for the health of the two elders before pulling his sister out.
Lan Zhi has never been close to her grandparents and they have nothing to talk about. Now that her cousins have left, she naturally left as well.
As the three of them walked to the door of the main house, they met Lan Rui and his wife coming back.
Involuntarily, the three of them stopped.
Lan Min looked at her uncle and aunt with hatred that was not appropriate for her age.
Grandpa said that her parents had made mistakes, so her uncle asked the police to arrest her parents. She didn't understand why her uncle refused to forgive her parents and insisted on letting the police arrest her parents.
Now, she can't even see her parents when she wants to.
She wanted to go to her grandmother's house, but her grandmother and uncles wouldn't let her in.
Lan Min found that her world had changed.
The Ren family didn't want to see their granddaughter because they didn't know Lan Rui's subsequent actions and were afraid of being implicated, so they cruelly refused to let their grandson and granddaughter in.
After Lan Zhiping and Hei Ruyue had an affair, the Ren family knew that they would not get any benefits from the Lan family. Now that Lan Zhiping and Ren Shuning are both in jail, they can't even think about doing business with the Lan family anymore, and they have to worry about the Lan family's revenge.
Their aunt Ren Shuning from the Ren family had done many things to harm the Lan family of three.
Who is Lan Rui? He has eaten more salt than Lan Min has eaten rice.
He could see the hatred in his niece's eyes at a glance.
His expression was serious, and he only glanced at Lan Min coldly. Lan Jie reacted immediately, hurriedly pulling his sister, and then forced a smile, calling out: "Uncle, Auntie."
Lan Min was pulled by her second brother and reluctantly called him uncle, but she did not call him Chen Yimo.
Shen Yimo didn't want to pay attention to her either.
Lan Zhi looked at her uncle and aunt with complicated eyes, and then greeted her uncle like Lan Jie did.
"You guys come to visit grandpa and grandma."
Lan Rui would not argue too much with his nephews and nieces, so he asked coldly.
Lan Jie hummed, "Grandpa and grandma are old, and we are worried about their health, so we came to see them and chat with them."
"Grandpa and grandma have always loved you. You should come here more often to show your filial piety and talk to the elderly."
Lan Jie smiled and said, "Yes."
"It's cold standing here, go back."
Lan Rui said lightly, then took Shen Yimo's hand and led her past the three juniors.
Chen Yimo was holding a few branches of wintersweets that he had picked himself.
Lan Min turned around and was about to call her uncle, but Lan Jie quickly covered her mouth.
Lan Zhi was also afraid that her little cousin would be ignorant of the immensity of the world and anger her uncle, so she helped Lan Jie drag Lan Min out.
Only after they had walked a long way did Lan Jie release his hand to cover his sister's mouth and angrily scolded: "Min'er, didn't you listen to what grandpa said? What did your second brother say to you? What do you want to stop your uncle and ask?"
Lan Min cried, "I just want to ask my uncle why he can't forgive my parents, why he let the police arrest them, and my eldest brother, second brother, I miss my mother."
Lan Jie hugged his sister sadly and said awkwardly: "Min'er, you are still young, you don't know the truth. What our parents and big brother did can't be forgiven just by saying so."
It can be said that it was a war, a battle of life and death.
If my uncle loses, he will die.
My uncle won. At least he did not kill his parents himself. He just handed them over to the police and let the law punish them.
In fact, my uncle has done his best for them.
Lan Zhi looked at the siblings calmly, and suddenly said, "Min'er, do you know why Uncle can't forgive our parents? Because our parents once teamed up with the Hei family's assassins to assassinate Uncle and eldest cousin. If someone uses all means and accumulates intentions to want your life, and has done so countless times, can you still forgive that person who wants your life?"
Lan Min looked at Lan Zhi in surprise.
Lan Jie also glared at Lan Zhi.
"Brother Jie, if we don't let her know what our parents did to Uncle and his family, she'll just think it's all Uncle's fault and resent him and my eldest cousin, which will only hurt her. Now, both of us are like meat on Uncle's chopping board. He can chop us however he wants, and we're powerless to resist."
Lan Jie opened his mouth, but had nothing to say.
"It's cold, take her back. Don't think grandpa and grandma can help us. They are very old. How many years can they live? If we want to live, we have to depend on the mood of uncle and his son."
After Lan Zhi finished speaking, she left the brother and sister, turned around and walked back to her home.
Lan Min came back to her senses from her daze and asked her second brother tearfully, "Second brother, is what Sister Azhi said true?"
Lan Jie nodded with difficulty.
"So, Min'er, don't glare at your uncle viciously when you see him. Ah Zhi is right. We are all meat on your chopping board now. Your uncle can chop us however he wants."
"But... aren't my uncle and cousin still alive? They're doing well."
Lan Jie was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Just because they're still alive and well doesn't mean we can erase the bad things our parents did."
"Don't cry, your second brother will support you from now on, and we will depend on each other as siblings."
Lan Jie held his sister's hand and walked towards their small home with three bedrooms.
