As she spoke, her tears flowed even more, making her look even more heartbreaking.
Wei Lin was also very sad. They were good brothers with Zhang Tu, but now their good brother was buried in the ground, and his wife and children were living such a bad life. They couldn't just stand by and watch.
They wanted to help, but there were too many rumors and gossip, so Zhang Lan didn't dare to accept their help. That's why he... that's why he thought of taking care of Zhang Lan and her child himself.
He knew that doing this would be unfair to Xiao Ran, as they were about to get married, but now this matter was causing them to postpone their wedding.
He figured that if he postponed the wedding at first, Xiao Ran would eventually take the initiative to call off the engagement, thus protecting her to the greatest extent possible.
Xiao Ran will be able to marry into a good family in the future, and he will definitely help Xiao Ran in the future.
Wei Lin was not innocent from beginning to end.
"Don't say that. From the day we started helping you, we never thought of stopping."
Zhang Tu has already left; we can't just stand by and watch you and your child suffer.
Zhang Lan wanted those words, but at this point she also needed another promise.
"No, don't help me anymore. Your fiancée is here. If you help me again, what will other people think? What will they think of our relationship..."
Zhang Lan looked at Zhang Tu's brothers for a long time and found that only Wei Lin had the most potential. The others were not very capable and their chances of rising in the future were slim. In addition, those people lived in remote mountainous areas, and if they had a vicious mother at home, it would be even more troublesome.
After considering all the options, Wei Lin is still the best.
"Besides, besides my son Xiaohu, I also have a daughter at home. It's so unfair to you to take care of us. You should marry your fiancée. You two will..."
These words, every single one, seemed to be for Wei Lin's benefit.
Wei Lin didn't actually make any promises to Zhang Lan. He knew that reputation was very important in this era, and he couldn't say anything before everything was settled.
"Thank you for your concern, I will handle my own affairs." In reality, he was feeling very complicated. The moment he saw Xiao Ran, his heart ached terribly. He could feel Xiao Ran's sadness, and he felt like a worthless person.
Mo Yan kicked the door open at that moment, and her face darkened when she saw Zhang Lan. "What are you doing here again? How can you be so shameless? Didn't I just tell you to get out!"
Wei Lin was about to say something when Mo Yan glared at him coldly, "If you say another word, I'll twist your head off and use it as a football!"
Tears streamed down Zhang Lan's face as she stood up and quickly apologized, "Auntie, I'm so sorry, I was just worried about Wei Lin..."
"Don't worry about me, get lost!"
Mo Yan pointed to the door, and Zhang Lan could only run out crying.
Wei Lin felt distressed seeing this. "Mother, why are you like this? She is..."
Mo Yan turned and went out, then came back in with a stick. "Wei Lin, Wei Lin, Xiao Ran, your uncle and I came all this way, and instead of caring about how our journey was, you're here worrying about others?"
Wei Lin quickly shook his head, "No, Mother, I was just about to ask you, why did you suddenly come here? Did you receive my letter?"
At this point, he hesitated to look Xiao Ran in the eye. In the letter, he explained Zhang Lan's situation and expressed his hope that Xiao Ran would accept their help in the future. If Xiao Ran could not accept it, then the wedding would have to be postponed... He wanted to take care of his brother and his children.
"Of course I received it, you bastard, I'll beat you to death!"
Xiao Ran's father couldn't hold back any longer. He rushed over and punched Wei Lin several times, each punch delivered with great force, as if he wanted to kill the guy!
"Why don't you want my daughter? Why did you break off the engagement? You bastard, how can my daughter ever face anyone again!"
Wei Lin had no way to resist and could only endure it all.
He knew it was all his fault, and that no matter how the older man hit him, he was right.
"Uncle, hit me all you want. As long as it calms you down, I'll let you hit me however you want."
Mo Yan didn't stop it. It was appropriate for Xiao Ran's father to hit her however he wanted. This Wei Lin had ruined Xiao Ran's life.
Xiao Ran's father was a man of principle. He stopped after hitting her several times. He didn't dare to actually kill her, so he squatted on the ground and kept hitting himself.
Xiao Ran quickly looked at her father, "Dad, what are you doing? Don't hit yourself, this isn't your fault."
Xiao Ran's father felt unworthy of being a father, unable to even seek justice for his daughter.
"Brother, you can't hit yourself. What does this have to do with you? If anyone should be hit, it should be that bastard. But we need to make him explain what really happened."
Mo Yan came over and asked Xiao Ran to help her father up. Then she looked at Wei Lin, whose face was so badly beaten that it was hard to recognize him.
"Tell me, what exactly is going on with that letter you wrote?"
Don't even think about lying to me. Although I can't read, I've heard others read it out word by word.
"If I hadn't heard that letter, I wouldn't have known my son could be such a scoundrel!"
Wei Lin: "..."
"Whatever you're going to do, whatever you're going to do, you should go back in person. Why didn't you go back?"
The wedding date for both of them has been set, and his wedding leave has been approved, so why can't he go back? In the end, it's still hard to face him; he's still trash!
Wei Lin then revealed his thoughts: "I dare not go back, I dare not go back to face you."
