Ran Xiasheng and Ran Dongsheng stood by the window at the end of the corridor, and neither of them spoke.
At this time, Ran Dongsheng was secretly looking at his second brother.
The second brother is no longer the same, but his impression of him is still stuck on the time when he went to the army.
My second brother was still young at that time, maybe only 16 years old? My eldest brother didn't want to join the army, so my parents went to talk to my second brother and asked him to take his place.
He was five years old at that time and already knew the world.
That day he secretly hid outside the door and watched the conversation between his parents and his second brother.
I remember that my second brother didn't speak for a long time.
Only my mother's voice lingered in my ears: "For this matter, only you, the second brother, can save the Ran family from suffering. After all, your eldest brother is the eldest son, and he must come forward if there is anything going on at home. The third and fourth children are still young and cannot leave the eldest. You are already sixteen years old, so there is nothing wrong with reporting your age, don't you think?"
He saw that his second brother didn't say anything and just stood there.
But judging from his expression, his second brother was very disappointed. He didn't know how he saw it, but he always felt that his second brother had an indescribable disappointment with his parents.
At that time, he was thinking that the battle between his second brother and his parents would probably break out sooner or later.
My second brother joined the army, and he did not use my eldest brother's name, nor did he change his age. He joined the army with his real name and real age. The recruitment of soldiers was very tight that year, so my second brother passed the physical examination and political review.
On the day his second brother joined the army, he heard his second brother say to his parents: "I am not joining the army for anyone, I am joining the army for myself. If I don't join the army, I will never leave this mountain village. If I join the army, I may die, but if I fight, I may have a future. You don't have to feel as if you are sorry for me. From today on, I live for myself."
He didn't know why his second brother said such a thing. Was it to reassure his parents? Or was he telling the truth?
From that day on, he rarely saw his second brother.
After my second brother left, he didn’t come back for four whole years. When he came back, he went on a blind date and married my second sister-in-law.
After that, he seldom came back. I heard that his second brother had a narrow escape and almost died on the battlefield several times.
In wartime, common sense could not be used to make judgments, but every time my second brother came back, he would rush to finish all the housework.
It was not until he came back this time that he heard that his second brother had cut off ties with the family?
In fact, he had already guessed all this.
As early as when his second brother went to the army, he had anticipated such a result. However, he did not expect that the trigger for his second brother would be his second sister-in-law.
Second sister-in-law...
Ran Dongsheng smiled and made no comment.
"Second brother, my parents sent me a message today, saying that you have severed ties with the family." Ran Dongsheng didn't know how to start, and after a long time he spoke slowly.
Ran Xiasheng looked at Dongsheng, his younger brother who was eleven years younger than him, and he thought more like a father to him.
When he left for the army, Dongsheng was just a five-year-old kid. That day, he chased him for a mile on his short legs.
When I saw him with tears on his face and calling him "Second Brother", I even felt a little bit sorry for him.
Now, this little kid has grown up.
The boy was only nineteen years old and still very young. Compared with Ran Xiasheng, he was much younger.
Ran Dongsheng was originally fair-skinned. He had been staying in the county town, working in a factory, and had not often gone out to sunbathe, which made his skin look even fairer.
He looks even more handsome. In other words, Cen Zhifeng said, he looks like a movie star.
This is also the reason why Cen Zhifeng insisted on marrying Ran Dongsheng despite the pressure from her family. Moreover, because they have a good relationship, she overturned her initial promise to her parents to ask for bribes.
In the end, Ran Dongsheng was only allowed to live in his mother's house, but he was not really made a live-in son-in-law.
Ran Dongsheng has the capital.
"Second brother?" Ran Dongsheng didn't get a reply from his second brother, so he called out again.
Ran Xiasheng came back to his senses, looked over, and saw a look of anxiety on Ran Dongsheng's face.
He raised his eyebrows. "Why? Are you here to persuade me to make peace with my family?"
"No, no." Ran Dongsheng shook his head repeatedly, "I have never thought about it this way. In fact, second brother, do you know? I have long guessed that this day would come."
Ran Xiasheng said "Oh" and waited for his next words.
"Ever since my second brother took my eldest brother's place in the army and later married my second sister-in-law, and my mother disagreed, I had guessed that this day would come." Ran Dongsheng grinned, "My mother is too powerful and has suppressed my second sister-in-law too much. My second sister-in-law never told you, and as her younger uncle, I shouldn't interfere too much in the affairs of the second house. I told Zhifeng that this day would come sooner or later."
Ran Xiasheng didn't say anything, but there was something else in his eyes.
Ran Dongsheng didn't understand, but he knew his second brother was not in a good mood. Just like when he was transferred to the army.
Ran Dongsheng said: "Zhi Feng asked me, if the second branch really cut off ties with the family, what would I do? I said, second brother will always be my second brother, the second brother who loves me the most. No matter what decision he makes, I will support him unconditionally. Since second brother proposed to sever ties, he must have been unable to bear it anymore, so he proposed it."
Ran Xiasheng was somewhat moved.
When he went to the army, Dongsheng was already five years old and had actually grown up.
There are four brothers in the family, and he loves the fourth one the most.
It may be because the fourth child was still young at that time, so most of his energy was focused on him.
The third child was already twelve years old at the time and was already a teenager, so he didn't need to be focused on.
The youngest is the most favored one in the family.
Both brothers and parents are especially kind to the fourth child.
"Brother is the most loyal person. If he hadn't been pushed to that point, he wouldn't have really cut off ties with the family. But whether he splits up the family or cuts off, I won't blame him. Brother, I'll be at home from now on, and I'll be filial to my parents. You can do what you want. I'll take care of my parents, and I won't let them do anything to hurt you again. I didn't persuade my parents before, and I didn't persuade them when my mother beat and scolded my second sister-in-law. I feel guilty."
He started hanging out in society at the age of fifteen.
His academic performance was not good, so he dropped out of junior high school before graduating.
Later, when that movement happened in the country, he used this as an excuse to drop out of school and ran away to the county.
There were many teenagers like him in the county. They all learned to smoke and even fight.
I am away from home all year round.
He was nine years old when his second sister-in-law came into the family.
What does a nine-year-old know? All he does is play.
He was still in school at that time. Every time he came home, his second sister-in-law had already prepared meals for him, and he did not pay attention to the scars on her body.
I really knew this when I started dating Zhifeng.
Zhifeng was careful. She discovered the situation of her second sister-in-law and told him about it.
He was seventeen years old at that time.
After he found out, he went home and talked with his mother all night.
Mother promised him that she would treat second sister-in-law well.
He believed it and thought his mother would really treat his second sister-in-law well.
He lived in the county all year round and had no idea what life his second sister-in-law was like at home.
Zhifeng told him more than once that he had seen the injuries on his second sister-in-law's body.
He had talked to his mother about it more than once. At first, she kept agreeing with him, but later she became impatient.
Because of his advice, she even treated her second sister-in-law even more harshly.
He knew that he couldn't interfere anymore.
The more he interferes, the more his second sister-in-law will be abused by his mother when he is not around.
After all, he is just the younger uncle, how can he control everything about his second sister-in-law?
What he and Zhifeng could do was to contact the hospital when his second sister-in-law was pregnant, so that they could provide assistance when she was due to give birth.
The second brother is out there, so as a brother, he will help if he can, out of brotherly love.
The eldest sister-in-law always said that he was flattering the second brother and his wife, and that he and Zhifeng were also plotting to take over the second wife's property.
He had never thought about it this way, and neither had Zhifeng.
But no matter how he explained, the eldest wife would not listen and was instead very wary of them.
In the end, he was too lazy to explain it to them anymore and even visited his hometown less often.
This time, someone from my hometown sent a message saying that my second sister-in-law had given birth prematurely. My second brother got angry and cut off all ties with my hometown.
Neither he nor Zhifeng were too surprised because they had already guessed it.
How can you be surprised by something you can guess?
They came to the Ambassador Hotel because Zhifeng's friend called them and told them about it.
This is the only way to get here as soon as possible.
He was afraid that his second brother would ignore him because of his hometown and that his second brother would be disappointed in their brotherly love.
But now it seems that my second brother still cares about brotherhood.
I didn't disown them because of the influence of my hometown.
Ran Xiasheng sighed.
There are four brothers in the family, and each of them actually has his own ideas. The relationship between him and the eldest brother has been strained. As early as the moment he replaced the eldest brother to join the army, there was no friendship between them. It was only maintained by blood relationship.
The third one...
He has more complicated feelings towards the third child.
Yuehua was abused for the past ten years, and the third brother never even said hello to him.
However, Yuehua told him that the third brother's wife had secretly brought her food and washed her diapers. Ran Xiasheng's face looked a little better. The third room was not so cold and still remembered the brotherhood.
The fourth one...
Seeing the choked expression on his face, Ran Xiasheng was filled with mixed emotions. Three years ago, the fourth brother sent him a telegram, telling him about the situation at home.
But he was in the war at that time and couldn't bring Yuehua to the southwest. He was organizing a special operations team at that time and he couldn't even go home.
It was also the telegram from his fourth brother that he changed the money that was supposed to be sent to his parents and sent it directly to Yuehua.
Now that Yuehua has money in her hands, her life should be better and she can stand up straighter.
But he didn't expect that Yuehua would give birth prematurely and didn't even have a good confinement period.
"You really don't know that your second sister-in-law gave birth prematurely?" Ran Xiasheng asked in a deep voice.
Ran Dongsheng shook his head: "I really don't know, I only know that my second sister-in-law is pregnant, and I told Zhifeng that I would take her to the county hospital. My second brother is not here, so as a brother, I can only help my second sister-in-law in this regard. Who would have thought that my second sister-in-law would actually give birth prematurely."
When he learned the truth from his fellow villagers, his second sister-in-law had already been taken to the county town by his second brother.
If he had known this earlier, perhaps so many things wouldn't have happened, at least the situation where my second sister-in-law was not harassed during her confinement would not have happened.
He always knew that his mother didn't like his second sister-in-law, but he didn't expect that she would dislike her to this extent.
If his fellow villagers hadn't told him about this, he really couldn't imagine it.
Fortunately, my second brother is back.
Ran Xiasheng sighed, raised his hand and patted his brother's shoulder, "Father and mother are father and mother, and you are you. I will not take my anger out on you because of the mistakes of father and mother. You and fourth brother's wife are doing well."
He also didn't want to cut off contact with his brothers.
With the eldest brother, it was ironclad and there was no way they could ever get back together. As for the third and fourth wives, he had never thought about really severing ties with them.
Over at the third room...
We'll see when the time comes. No matter what the third brother thinks, at least they helped Yuehua during her confinement period, and he will remember this kindness.
As for the fourth brother, he was able to understand that his brothers had their own difficulties. After all, the fourth brother had his own family to take care of. He was in the county town, so how could he take care of his hometown? He even thought about contacting the hospital. Just based on this, it was enough.
"Thank you, second brother, for understanding me and Zhifeng. Second brother, do you want to let my second sister-in-law go to the hospital for a checkup? I heard that when my second sister-in-law was in confinement, the conditions at home were not up to par, and even the food was not well provided. Or did Sister Kong Ling deliver food to the second room every day?"
Ran Xiasheng said, "I have thought so too, but Yuehua can't stand the torture now. She can't stand the wind. After she has recuperated for a while, I will send her to the hospital for a full body check."
Postpartum disease is difficult to cure. The most urgent thing is to take good care of yourself during the confinement period. This is the key.
Ran Dongsheng understood.
"Then I'll talk to Zhifeng and see if we can get a doctor to come and see her. She knows someone in the hospital."
Ran Xiasheng nodded: "That's the best. Can my sister-in-law hire the best doctor in the county hospital?"
Ran Dongsheng said, "It's possible. The wife of the county hospital director is Zhifeng's aunt. If she goes to ask, it shouldn't be a problem. She originally decided to wait until her second sister-in-law's due date is approaching and then stay in the county hospital to wait for the birth. She didn't expect that man proposes, God disposes, and things turned out to be so complicated."
Ran Xiasheng said, "That's great. I'll trouble my fourth brother and his wife then."
Ran Dongsheng smiled. His second brother was willing to accept his help, which showed that he really regarded him as a brother and was not just being polite.
He was delighted.
"Brother, I will go to the county hospital with Zhifeng right now. Let's go now."
Ran Xiasheng said, "Don't be so anxious. Let your sister-in-law and Yuehua have a good chat first. Yuehua finally has someone to chat with. Don't disturb them."
Ran Dongsheng scratched the back of his head and grinned.
There is a figure floating in front.
Yu Xiaoqi stood at the other end of the corridor, hesitating whether to go over.
When she saw Ran Dongsheng, she was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and walked towards the stairs.
This scene was accidentally captured by Ran Dongsheng.
He frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?
Ran Xiasheng noticed his abnormality.
Ran Dongsheng said: "I seemed to see my junior high school classmate." He looked somewhat similar, but also somewhat different.
"who?"
"Yu Xiaoqi."
"oh."
"Second brother..." Ran Dongsheng opened his mouth, hesitating.
Ran Xiasheng turned around and looked at him: "What's wrong?"
"Second brother, please pay attention to Yu Xiaoqi." Ran Dongsheng reminded.
"Um?"
Ran Dongsheng thought for a moment and said, "She has a bad reputation in school. Anyway, you should be careful."
Ran Xiasheng sneered: "What the hell does it have to do with me?"
What does it have to do with him whether a girl has a bad reputation? She is not his wife.
"In short, second brother, you better be careful and don't let it have any negative impact." Ran Dongsheng thought about it and decided to remind his second brother.
Yu Xiaoqi had a bad reputation in school. She had pursued him at first, and he rejected her several times, but she still pursued her. Later, he and Zhifeng fell in love, and she once told Zhifeng that they were in love, which almost caused his relationship to fail.
This woman is not simple.
…
After the fourth brother and his wife left, Ran Xiasheng and Mi Yuehua talked about this matter.
Mi Yuehua sighed: "My fourth brother's wife is a true character. She just told me that in order not to affect my confinement, she plans to tell her aunt to ask the county hospital to send someone to check my body."
After a pause, Mi Yuehua said, "Xia Sheng, we can't forget the kindness of Lao Si and his family. Our parents are our parents, and they are them. We can't stop recognizing our brothers just because we have severed our ties with our hometown."
Ran Xiasheng smiled: "Of course, my fourth brother has always been a good person. I have loved him so much since he was a child, and it was not in vain."
Ran Yingying was also listening. Even though she was already feeling sleepy, she still insisted on keeping her eyes open and not letting herself fall asleep.
She sorted out her experiences in her first life and came to a conclusion.
In the entire Ran family, the really bad people are the two old people and the eldest wife's family.
As for the third house, the third uncle and the third aunt, although they also had their own little thoughts, they helped my mother when she was in trouble, and that was enough.
Ran Yingying didn't know whether she had helped in her previous life.
But in the previous life, the third branch also split up in the end.
When the second wife's property was robbed, the first wife was the most aggressive. The third wife took Ran Yang to a large hospital to treat her child and was not present at the scene.
As for what happened later, she didn't know whether she had participated in the robbery or not, and she had no way of knowing because she had already traveled to the world of immortal cultivation by then.
This life doesn’t look too bad.
"As soon as you finish your confinement, we will set off for the southwest. I have already applied for my family to accompany the army, and the regiment has already instructed me on my request."
Mi Yuehua opened her eyes wide, "Can I really go with the army?"
She dreamed of joining the army.
Being able to be close to my husband and be with him every day is better than anything else.
Ran Xiasheng said, "Yes, but you can't live in the military camp for the time being. The military camp is at war now and it's very dangerous there. You can only live in the nearest county. I will visit you when I have time."
Mi Yuehua's eyes were moist: "It would be better if we could live in a nearby county. Even if we can only see each other once a year like we do now, it would be better than staying in such a faraway place like this."
It is not easy for Xia Sheng to come and see her now. He has to take leave and take a car.
In the nearby county in the southwest, even if it was difficult for the two of them to meet, at least he didn't have to take leave or take a car.
"It's not that difficult. Every time we go on a mission, we have a period of rest. We don't fight 365 days a day. We can go back to the county to see you two."
Mi Yuehua was content.
They can take a break every once in a while so they can meet each other more often.
This result is the best result.
Ran Yingying was also excited. Could they go to the southwest right away?
Mother's confinement period will be over in ten days, and then they will finally not have to stay in Weian County anymore.
In fact, she has been combing her mother's meridians every day recently to force the cold out of the body.
My mother's health now is not the same as it was in her previous life. She suffered from severe postpartum illness and felt as cold as ice. Her body was hollowed out, and in the end, no matter how good the hospital was, it couldn't cure her illness.
Now, it is much better than the previous life.
Well, it would be better if auntie could call the hospital to check mom's health. At least it would reassure dad and he wouldn't be worrying about this matter all the time.
The author has something to say: Regarding Yingbao's consciousness being trapped in her cultivation, it is the author's personal setting. I have temporarily set it to the Qi Refining Stage, where she will be restricted by her cultivation and cannot use her consciousness at will.
Yingbao practices the Koi Kung Fu, so there will be no metaphysical things in the text. Apart from bringing Koi energy to her family and others, she doesn't do anything else.
Ran Yingying: I am a little koi, and I will bring good luck to everyone.
