Chapter 288
When she went downstairs, Zhou Ningyan was nowhere to be seen, but Su Meifang, who looked very irritable, was impatiently crossing the road.
"Meifang~"
"Brother~"
When Su Meifang saw Su Changan coming out, she ran over anxiously.
"Brother, something happened to Mom, something happened to Mom~"
Su Changan's heart skipped a beat and his whole body tensed up.

Su Qingci brought Song Jingzhou with her, carrying a bunch of bananas bought from the Friendship Store. They registered at the guard room at the gate of the compound and walked inside.
Song Jingzhou whispered to Su Qingci, "You didn't come here often before, did you?"
"None of the young soldiers on duty recognize you!"
Su Qingci said as she walked, "Usually it's my grandma who comes over. We rarely come over. Even if we do come over, she accompanies us because she doesn't trust us to come over alone."
Song Jingzhou's eyes flashed with understanding, "Grandma is quite vigilant."
She met several aunts on the way, and Su Qingci greeted them warmly. After knowing that she was Li Yue Niang's granddaughter, several aunts asked about Qin Xiangxiang in a roundabout way.
There are also family members in the compound who work at the military region’s general hospital, and they have heard some rumors.
Su Qingci seemed to have no idea about the principle of "don't air your dirty laundry in public".
When someone asked her about it, she started sobbing and wiping away tears.
"Yes, my grandma almost didn't make it. I was far away in southern Hunan, wanting to contribute my own strength to the development of the motherland. I was scared to tears when I heard the news."
"I immediately took leave and rushed back. My grandma, my grandma, wuwu, it's really a terrible suffering."
"At this age, if it weren't for the younger generation below me, I might not have made it."
"Even so, Aunt Qin still won't let my grandma go. Time and again, she uses her position to assault my grandma..."
After Su Qingci's crying, the whole compound soon knew that Qin Xiangxiang had attempted murder and was arrested by the police and put in jail.
Everyone was secretly talking about and cursing Qin Xiangxiang for being cruel, saying that she had almost driven the old lady to death and had also implicated innocent people.
Everyone's outcry for justice and injustice somewhat implicated the siblings Su Yi and Su Changan.
Through communication with several aunts, Su Qingci also received an important piece of news.
Su Changan and Su Meifang, brother and sister, returned to the compound today.
"Aunts, please get busy first."
Su Qingci pointed at the bunch of bananas in Song Jingzhou's hand and said, "My grandma always taught us to be filial to our elders no matter what. She just came back to Kyoto and came to see my grandpa."
"I'll be free soon, chatting with some aunts."
Without having time to say much to the aunt in the family compound, Su Qingci pulled Song Jingzhou and strode towards the building where Su Yi lived.
The aunts behind her looked at Su Qingci's back and sighed, "The child is a good child, filial and polite."
"Yeah, can what Qin Xiangxiang taught be the same as what Sister Li taught?"
"Look at those two at the back. They're just like their mother. They look down on others all the time. They think they're the most noble. They don't even realize what they are."
"That's right, it's a pity that such a good child didn't meet a good elder."
Su Qingci took Song Jingzhou and walked quickly towards Su Yi's house.
Since Su Meifang and Su Changan, two people in the army, took leave and came back together, they must have known about their mother's affairs and came back to bother Su Yi.
Su Qingci was not wrong. At this time, the atmosphere in the Su family was gloomy.
Su Meifang held Su Yi's hand and wiped away her tears in grievance, while Su Changan sat aside with a cold face and said nothing.
"Dad, after all these years, don't you know what kind of person Mom is?"
"From childhood to adulthood, my impression of my mother is that she is the most gentle and kind. Not to mention killing people, she has never even spoken loudly to a patient!"
"She's been recognized as an outstanding employee for several years. How could she possibly harm Aunt Li?"
"Aunt Li said she attempted murder, so it's attempted murder. Are you just going to watch her suffer injustice?"
"Even if I did something wrong, I'm still your wife. How could you not protect her but just watch her get locked up in that kind of place?"
"Dad, in your heart, are we and Mom combined no match for a single word from Aunt Li?"
"For so many years, Mom has been swallowing her anger and giving in everywhere for you..."
"Don't say I don't believe Mom could do such a thing. Even if Mom was distracted for a moment, even if she did it, isn't Aunt Li fine now?"
"She's been in there for so long, hasn't she learned enough of her lesson?"
Seeing that Su Yi was unmoved, Su Meifang winked at Su Changan.
Su Changan quickly took over the conversation and pleaded for mercy.
"Dad, that's not a place for a human to stay. Mom has never suffered that kind of suffering in all these years."
"Even if you don't feel sorry for Mom, you should at least think about Meifang and me. If people knew that we have a mom in detention, how would they view us?"
"How are we supposed to face our comrades and the organization in the army? You're not punishing Mom, you're destroying us!"
Su Yi sighed, "Meifang, Chang'an, please stop talking. I understand what you are saying."
"It's because of your concern for you two that your mother is being held in a political detention center. Otherwise, for a crime of attempted murder, let alone criminal detention, she would have received a heavy sentence, possibly even execution!"
"Don't think I'm biased towards your Aunt Li. When your mother committed the crime, many people in the hospital witnessed it!"
"I'm trying to stop it now. I'm already very sorry to your Aunt Li for letting the situation get to this point."
Su Meifang and her brother looked at each other, and resentment flashed in their eyes as they looked at their unyielding father.
Since the soft approach didn't work, the two of them immediately implemented a second strategy, one playing the bad guy and the other playing the good guy.
Su Meifang immediately burst into tears and started talking about the grievances that the mother and her two children had suffered over the years.
It was obvious that my parents were in a free love relationship. My mother gave so much for my father and bore the stigma for decades. She accompanied my father for his whole life, but when she got old, she was even worse than the child bride raised in that feudal family.
Su Changan scolded Su Meifang while hypocritically persuading Su Yi, "Dad, Meifang is also angry and confused."
"Meifang cares too much about your feelings, so she came back to beg you. Otherwise, she could have turned around and begged the Wang family to save her mother!"
"Dad, you may not know what Mom has been going through recently."
Su Changan also began to sob as he spoke, "Mom was bullied in there. She was hungry all day and was beaten..."
**
Under the pressure of his children, Su Yi finally gave in. "That's too much, too much."
"Although I didn't specifically tell them, they knew Xiangxiang was my wife, Su Yi. How dare they torture her like this!"
Su Meifang quickly pulled Su Yi to his feet and said, "Dad, you'll know if you go and see for yourself."
"Brother, go tell Uncle Liu to get the car ready. We'll go pick up Mom today."
As soon as Su Yi stood up, Su Qingci rushed in first.
"Grandpa~ Grandpa~ I'm back. Oh, I missed you so much!"
