Ran Yingying's spiritual awareness could see clearly that the people standing outside the door were her fourth uncle Ran Dongsheng and fourth aunt Cen Zhifeng.
What can I say about my fourth uncle? Do I say he is a bad person?
He seems to have maintained a good connection with the second wife.
He is a good man, but when he is bad, he is worse than anyone else.
Before he got married, my fourth uncle had a bad temper and had the potential to be a little hooligan. At that time, he even participated in the work of the Revolutionary Committee.
After he fell in love with Cen Zhifeng, his temperament changed completely.
If he was a gangster before, he now looks much more gentle and refined.
The Ran family has very good genes, and both men and women are good-looking.
The men are handsome and the women are beautiful.
Both Old Man Ran and Old Lady Ran of the first generation were good-looking when they were young.
The four sons he gave birth to are all capable of making women lose their minds.
When it comes to Ran Yingying's generation, among the cousins, which one of them has ever worried about having a girlfriend after growing up?
The girl, several cousins, including Yingying herself, were all incredibly beautiful.
It is precisely because of the outstanding looks of the Ran family that the men and women have no trouble finding wives.
The fourth child, Ran Dongsheng, who was just hanging around in society at that time, had no education and no skills. However, he was spotted by Cen Zhifeng, the daughter of the secretary of a foundry, and was recruited into the Cen family as a son-in-law.
The reason why Ran Dongsheng entered the Cen family half-way is that he has not yet agreed to be the son-in-law of the Qin family.
Ran Yingying knew in her previous life that this little aunt was not a weak person.
But to say that she is a bad person, it seems not.
At least in the previous life, everyone else in the Ran family wanted to seize the second branch's property, and the only person who did not stand up to grab it was her.
Cen Zhifeng is a real white, rich and beautiful woman. Maybe she doesn't care about the second wife's property, as long as she has the conditions in her own family.
I took a fancy to Ran Dongsheng just because he was good-looking.
However, this young lady has always been very sharp-tongued. She would say whatever she wanted and would criticize anyone. The two elderly people in the old house had been severely criticized by her.
But Ran Yingying was curious. How did her uncle and aunt know about this when they had just arrived in the county?
This speed is simply too fast.
They really just settled down here not long ago.
At first Ran Xiasheng thought it was a staff member, so he went to open the door. After opening the door, he was stunned when he saw the fourth brother and his wife standing outside.
"Second brother, Dongsheng and I are here to see you. Can we come in?" Cen Zhifeng said with a smile.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Mi Yuehua was in the room, holding her child. When she heard the noise outside, she asked, "Xia Sheng, who is that?"
Ran Xiasheng was just stunned for a moment, and replied to Mi Yuehua: "It's the fourth brother and his wife."
Mi Yuehua was also stunned. She didn't expect that it would be the fourth brother and his wife.
They really have no intersection with the fourth brother and his wife.
Even when they were in their hometown, the fourth brother and his wife and their family seldom returned to their hometown. They would only come once during the Chinese New Year or other festivals at the end of the year, and most of the time they would go and come back on the same day.
I rarely stay overnight at my hometown.
Her relationship with the fourth brother's family was neither good nor bad. Every time the fourth brother's wife saw her, she would greet her with a smile and call her "second sister-in-law" in a very affectionate way.
But because they met so seldom, their relationship was lukewarm.
I didn't expect that the couple would come to my house today.
"Let them in." People came to see them with a heart full of love.
It's a bit unreasonable to kick them out at this time.
They cut off ties with their hometown, with their second elder and first wife, but they haven't cut ties with their third and fourth wives.
Especially the fourth branch, they had little interaction with each other. One was in his hometown and the other in the county town, so they had no grudges against each other.
Cen Zhifeng and Ran Dongsheng walked in. They did not come empty-handed, but brought a lot of supplements.
There were maltose, milk powder, and nutritional supplements. I took a lot of them.
Seeing Mi Yuehua sitting on the bed, Cen Zhifeng smiled and said, "Second sister-in-law, I just heard the news. I'm really sorry for not coming to see you earlier."
She really just learned the news.
My second sister-in-law is pregnant and the due date is three months from now. She is already planning for this.
She didn't expect that her second sister-in-law would give birth prematurely.
The factory was very busy during this period. She and Dongsheng worked overtime day and night, and no one called or sent them a message. The second sister-in-law gave birth.
Today, my second brother severed ties with the family. The old lady sent someone to send them a message saying that the second wife had passed away.
Only then did I know that my second sister-in-law had already given birth. She was seven months pregnant, but the old woman at home pushed her into premature birth.
When she heard the news, she said "Pah".
This was the first time she knew that this person was so cruel.
She had always known that the old woman in the family was difficult to get along with, and that the old man was used to the old woman, so the house was a mess.
This is also the reason why she doesn't allow Dongsheng to go back to his hometown often.
The Ran family is too chaotic.
She likes Dongsheng, but not the two elders of the Ran family.
At that time, she also looked down on her second sister-in-law. It was not because she looked down on her for other reasons, but because she looked down on her for being too soft.
Yes, my second sister-in-law is not pregnant. What's wrong with not being pregnant? Hasn't she also not given birth to a child? Doesn't she have no confidence if she doesn't have a child?
My second brother is in the army, and most of the income from his hometown is sent back by him. The second family supports the whole family in Ran's hometown, isn't that enough?
Just because you haven't given birth to a child, you are so soft?
This was the only thing she disliked about her second sister-in-law.
But apart from this, she thinks the second wife is very good in other aspects.
It's just that she herself had very little contact with the Ran family's hometown. Their original intention was to let Dongsheng marry into the family, but Dongsheng did not agree, so they took a step back and did not let Dongsheng marry into the family.
But he has always lived in the Cen family, and his food and drink expenses have always been paid by the Cen family.
She had the confidence to prevent Old Lady Ran from causing her trouble.
This is also the reason why even though she has been married for a year and has not given birth to a child, Mrs. Ran still doesn't dare to go to her house to make trouble.
If Old Lady Ran dares to make trouble, Dongsheng will be the first to refuse.
They have a good relationship and are willing to make concessions for each other, mainly because Dongsheng is willing to pamper her.
Therefore, Cen Zhifeng has always been confident.
"Brother, can we go out and talk?"
Ran Dongsheng felt that as a grown man, he only needed to visit his sister-in-law. It was not good to stay in the room all the time, so he took his second brother out to talk, leaving the space for his wife and second sister-in-law.
Ran Xiasheng glanced at Ran Dongsheng, and then at Mi Yuehua.
"Don't worry, second brother. I won't bully second sister-in-law." Cen Zhifeng said with a smile, as if she had guessed what Ran Xiasheng was thinking.
Mi Yuehua said: "It's okay."
Only then did Ran Xiasheng follow Dongsheng out.
It's not that he doesn't trust the fourth brother's family now, but he is disheartened by his parents and brothers at home.
The fourth brother has been in society for a long time, and he doesn't know much about his wife, so naturally he would be a little worried.
This is human nature.
Ran Yingying originally wanted to sleep, but now she couldn't sleep.
He closed his eyes and stared at Cen Zhifeng blankly.
Dad is not here now, and if anything really happens, she will be responsible for protecting Mom.
But she knew that her aunt was not the kind of person who would bully others easily.
After the brothers left, Cen Zhifeng came over and the first thing she said was, "Second sister-in-law, you finally stood up for once."
Mi Yuehua: ???
Ran Yingying also looked over.
Cen Zhifeng said quickly: "Second sister-in-law, do you know? When I first married Dongsheng, I actually looked down on you a little bit."
Mi Yuehua's eyes widened, and she heard Cen Zhifeng say, "Don't be afraid of you laughing at me, I have a strong temper. This may be related to my family. Before my father became the secretary, he was actually a soldier who participated in the Huaihai Campaign. Later, he wanted to build his hometown, so he insisted on retiring from the army and joined a foundry as the secretary of the factory committee."
Mi Yuehua nodded. She had heard something about this. When the fourth son got married, she often heard Old Lady Ran bragging that the fourth son's wife came from a wealthy family and that her father-in-law was an official who had retired from the army and became the secretary of the factory committee.
It has always been said that the most capable person in the family is the fourth son, who married such an outstanding daughter-in-law.
Every time they talked about this matter, they would turn the topic to her, saying that she was the most useless and that Xia Sheng had not cultivated himself in his previous life by marrying such a spendthrift woman like her.
"I have been in the Ran family for not long. It has just been a year. I still remember the first time I saw you, you stood there weakly while being scolded by the old lady in the family. I thought you were too soft at that time." Cen Zhifeng said, "I have always looked down on people with soft personalities. I myself have a strong personality and I don't think I have anything to be looked down upon."
Mi Yuehua fell into deep thought.
"Today, someone from my hometown brought us a letter saying that the second wife had severed ties with the family, the two elders, and the first wife. My first reaction was, second sister-in-law, you finally stood up for once, I admire you." As she spoke, Cen Zhifeng gave her a thumbs up.
This compliment made Mi Yuehua blush.
When things got to that point, she didn't want to live with them, but just separate the family, which she felt was far from enough.
But if Xia Sheng didn't have this idea and just wanted to break it off, that would be impossible.
In fact, it wasn't now. She had had this idea a long time ago, but Xia Sheng was in the army, on the battlefield, and she was afraid of disturbing Xia Sheng's heart, so she didn't dare to bring it up.
But at that time, Old Lady Ran actually said that she was having an affair and the child was not Xia Shengsheng's. She heard it in the room and was furious.
Regardless of everything, I don't want anything else but to leave this family.
If you don't want it, it's just a separation. Even if it's a separation, the relationship is still there and they will still come to make trouble in the future.
She didn't want to be bothered like this.
Some things just need to be said quickly and dealt with quickly.
Fortunately, Xia Sheng is not a foolishly filial person.
For the sake of this small family, he did what he should do and cared for the mother and daughter.
Instead of being angry because she gave birth to a daughter, he always fought for the best treatment for both of them.
That's enough.
"I knew that my second sister-in-law was pregnant. I had discussed with Dongsheng that when my second sister-in-law's due date came, we would take you to the county town. We also contacted the county hospital and sent you there. But I didn't expect that you would give birth prematurely."
It's actually too late to say all this.
Who could have imagined premature birth?
She was not a hindsight person. She actually contacted the director of the county people's hospital and booked a ward.
As soon as my second sister-in-law entered her due date, she would immediately take her to the county hospital to wait for delivery.
Ran Yingying couldn't help but look at Cen Zhifeng and saw that the expression on her face couldn't be more serious.
If you think about it carefully, it is possible that my aunt would really do this.
She is a straightforward person who speaks her mind. Since she said so, she must have done so.
Ran Yingying felt warm in her heart. In fact, people like her are the ones who are truly worth associating with.
She will not deliberately show kindness for some purpose, nor will she be afraid to say what is in her heart for fear of offending you.
She has something to say and something to say.
But when you are in trouble, they will give you a hand.
When you fall into the water, I will not add insult to injury.
She actually did this in her previous life.
When the eldest wife was trying to steal the second wife's property, she pulled her younger uncle back and stopped him from doing such a thing.
I still remember that when she was about to die in her previous life, it was she who sent her to the county hospital.
This bought some time so that her brother could come and see her for the last time.
In life, we can’t just judge by appearance.
Don't be fooled by the fact that she sometimes seems very strong when she scolds people, but she never scolds those who are justified.
She had once witnessed the scene of her quarreling with the two elders of the Ran family. At that time, her father had died, leaving her an orphan, and people were eyeing the second branch's property.
My aunt once said, "The second wife is already in such a state, and you are still eyeing her property? Legally speaking, besides Yingying, only the two old people are qualified to get the second wife's property. Do others deserve it?"
My aunt saw it very clearly.
All they could get was the part of the inheritance in the hands of the two elders, but they could not get the part of the inheritance that belonged to Yingying.
Unfortunately, everyone is so eager to grab the property, who would listen to her?
Now, when she heard her aunt say that she had planned to contact the county hospital for her mother, others did not believe it, but she did.
Mi Yuehua letter?
Whether she believed it or not, she was moved when Cen Zhifeng said this.
No matter what, as long as they have a good heart, that's enough.
"Thank you for thinking of me."
Cen Zhifeng said quickly: "We Dongsheng and Erfang are brothers, real brothers. Shouldn't real brothers help each other? This is all I can do. I also don't like the character of those two old people, but as their children, we can't be too serious until they do us wrong."
Mi Yuehua nodded, that was indeed the truth.
She endured all this at first, firstly because she was indeed inferior to him. She had not given birth to a child in ten years, and she did not have the confidence like the fourth brother's wife.
The fourth son's wife's family is here, and no one dares to look down on her.
The Mi family originally had the idea of favoring boys over girls. There were more girls than boys in the family, and no one stood up for her. They just kept advising her to be patient.
Another reason was that they were afraid that Xia Sheng would be distracted on the battlefield.
"Sister-in-law, now that you've become tough, I think you've finally become a strong mother. If you were still as soft-hearted as before, how could you protect the baby? You can't let your brother do everything for you in the future, right?"
Mi Yuehua nodded, Zhifeng was right.
Cen Zhifeng went to see the baby again and couldn't help wanting to reach out and hug it, but she was afraid of hurting it, "Second sister-in-law, can I hug the baby?"
She likes children, and now she and Dongsheng are actively preparing for pregnancy. However, they have tried very hard this year, but there has been no news.
But she was not in a hurry. Both she and Dongsheng were healthy and there was no problem at all. It would only take a while for them to have a child.
Mi Yuehua said: "Of course you can."
Cen Zhifeng then hugged the baby. Holding the baby, she felt that the baby was so soft and light that her heart melted.
"I also want to have a daughter in the future, make beautiful clothes for her, braid her hair, and dress her up every day." Cen Zhifeng couldn't help but say.
Mi Yuehua said, "Aren't you afraid that after you give birth to a daughter, your mother-in-law will be angry?"
She knew that the two elders in the Ran family favored sons over daughters.
Cen Zhifeng raised her eyebrows: "Why should I be afraid of them? Why would they dislike my child? If they dislike it, then they can give me the surname of the Cen family. It just so happens that I am the only child of my parents. If I give me the surname of the Cen family, my parents will be happy. If they don't want it, our Cen family will."
Mi Yuehua widened her eyes. Is this possible?
Ran Yingying was happy.
My aunt is indeed like this.
I still remember that in my previous life, my aunt gave birth to a daughter at first, which made her very happy.
Although my uncle also liked his son, he didn't say anything when my aunt gave birth to a daughter, but he was a little disappointed.
But those people from my hometown started to attack me, as if they had finally found an opportunity to vent their anger and started scolding my aunt.
I still remember how my auntie immediately retorted, "This is my own child. Who do you think you are? What reason do you have to object? If you don't want the child, then I will take it back and give it to my parents. I will pass on the name of the Cen family to the child. My parents will be more than happy to have it!"
At that time, the Ran family was devastated.
However, the Ran family is not as strong as the Cen family.
They had originally planned to recruit Ran Dongsheng as their bride, but later, because Cen Zhifeng really liked Ran Dongsheng, Cen's parents agreed to their daughter's decision.
At this time, the granddaughter was disliked, so naturally she was the first one to refuse.
Ran Yingying still remembers that for a long time afterwards, her aunt never went to the Ran family's hometown.
As a result, my uncle doesn’t go there often anymore.
My uncle also felt that my parents were indeed going a bit too far.
"Sister-in-law, this is your fault. What's wrong with your daughter? Why do you feel so inferior? Could it be that my second brother dislikes you for giving birth to a daughter?" Thinking of this possibility, Cen Zhifeng's eyes widened. "No way? My second brother has been in the army for so many years, he shouldn't be so feudal, right?"
Mi Yuehua said quickly, "No, Xia Sheng doesn't dislike her. On the contrary, he likes his daughter very much. He always said that Yingying is a little lucky star. She saved him when she was born."
"So the baby's name is Yingying, what a nice name." Cen smiled, "Then what are you afraid of, second sister-in-law? Second brother doesn't even give up on you, but you're still so afraid. As a person, you should be more confident, and you don't have to be inferior to others in anything."
Mi Yuehua said: "I have now figured it out. I will no longer feel inferior because of such things, and I will not be bullied by others. I want to protect my daughter."
Cen Zhifeng said, "That's right. I'm happy about your change, Second Sister-in-law. As women, we should hold our heads high. Chairman Mao said that women can hold up half the sky."
Mi Yuehua nodded.
"Zhifeng, how did you know we live here?" Mi Yuehua suddenly remembered.
They had only lived in for a few hours when the fourth brother got the news. That's why they didn't think at first that the people knocking on the door were them.
Cen Zhifeng said: "I have a sister who works as a waitress here, at the front desk. She saw you coming over. She had seen you before, so she recognized you and called me."
"Your friend has met me?" Mi Yuehua was surprised.
She didn't remember ever meeting the fourth son's wife's friend.
"Yes, she attended my wedding with Dongsheng and she saw you once. She also told me that my second brother was really good to my second sister-in-law. He knew that my second sister-in-law was weak and uncomfortable, but he still carried you upstairs. Such a man can be used as a role model."
Mi Yuehua was a little embarrassed: "I could walk by myself at that time. I was just taking a rest. It was Xia Sheng who was too worried about me."
Cen Zhifeng said, "I think what my second brother did was right. If I were also in confinement, I believe Dongsheng would do the same. What does it matter what impression you make outside? Is there anything more important than your wife and children?"
After a pause, she suddenly remembered something, and hesitated to say something, and finally swallowed it back.
My second sister-in-law is in confinement after childbirth, and the most feared thing for women during confinement is stimulation.
How could she attract the attention of her second sister-in-law to that woman named Yu Xiaoqi?
At that time, her friends told her that Yu Xiaoqi seemed to have some feelings for her second brother, and asked her to tell them about it to prevent her second brother from being harmed by Yu Xiaoqi.
Later I thought, what kind of personality does my second brother have?
If Yu Xiaoqi really dared to go up to him, his second brother would be able to slap her away without his second sister-in-law having to step in.
Thinking of this, she felt relieved again.
She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue and decided not to let her second sister-in-law know about this.
Something that was impossible.
The author has something to say: Regarding the question of whether there were mistresses in that era, I actually want to say that there were mistresses in every era.
Wasn't there a divorce wave for a while? People abandoned their original spouse and married someone else.
Here, it is impossible for Father Ran to be deceived by a mistress. Given his personality, if someone dares to seduce him, he will probably be the first one to not let that person go.
Ran Yingying (nods): My father is indeed like this, and you, the author, have summarized it very well.
Did any of the little angels guess that it was the fourth room family? I mentioned it in my speech, it was you guys? That means there was more than one person, so it definitely couldn't be that waiter.
