Mi Yuehua didn't expect that Ran Qiu Sheng and the third son's wife Lin Xiuying would come to see them.
When she arrived, Ran Qiu Sheng was standing outside the door and did not come in. Lin Xiuying came in alone.
Although Mi Yuehua didn't know why Ran Qiu Sheng didn't come in, she guessed that maybe he thought it was easier to talk to two women, and it was inconvenient for him to be here alone.
Xia Sheng took the child out again today. From what he said, he wanted to arrange for her to join the army.
The procedure for joining the army was not easy. One had to transfer one's household registration and go to the Revolutionary Committee to get a certificate, all of which required connections.
Even if she was not joining the army, she would need a certificate. Without the certificate, she couldn't even get on the train, let alone stay in a hotel.
But she didn't expect that Lin Xiuying would come to see her.
When the second branch split up, the third branch did not intervene. She also knew that the third branch was in a difficult situation. She was afraid that the third branch also had the same intention to split up the family. However, her third uncle was still a little cowardly and not as decisive as Xia Sheng.
It's divided if we say so.
Lin Xiuying looked at Mi Yuehua without saying anything, with an embarrassed expression on her face. She said, "Second sister-in-law, will you follow his second uncle to the army this time?"
Mi Yuehua said, "Xia Sheng thinks so, but it is not clear whether he can go. To be honest, there is a war in the southwest, and it is not safe."
Lin Xiuying was silent for a long time before she said, "Second sister-in-law, I'm not going to hide it from you. I came here this time because I really have something I want to tell you."
Mi Yuehua looked at her in confusion. Lin Xiuying said embarrassedly, "Second sister-in-law, didn't you share a piece of residential land? If Second sister-in-law goes to follow the army, the residential land will be vacant and of no use. Qiu Sheng and I discussed it and wanted to rent this residential land from Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law."
Mi Yuehua's smiling face froze.
Rent their homestead? They just got the land approved by the village, and they haven't even built a house yet. Earlier, Xia Sheng said that he wanted to build a house on it, even if it's not big, just a thatched house. Because the secretary said that if you don't build a house on the land after it's approved, it will be taken back, and there is a time limit.
They haven't built a house yet, but the third son and his wife came over and asked them for the residential land.
To put it nicely, it is renting, but do they still ask them for money? If they live there for a long time, will they not be able to get the land back?
Mi Yuehua was not overthinking it, after all, this involved interests and property.
Mi Yuehua said calmly: "After you split up, the village will be able to approve a residential plot."
Lin Xiuying said, "I know, but this doesn't mean we can't split up the family. During this period of time, your parents have already talked about the matter of splitting up the family at the dinner table. Whoever dares to talk about splitting up the family in the future will not be recognized as your parents. Second sister-in-law, you also know that Qiu Sheng is not as good as his second uncle after all, and he can't bear to talk about splitting up the family. But if I live with my family, I'm afraid that when the time comes..."
Lin Xiuying glanced at Mi Yuehua and wiped away her tears. "I have no other choice. I thought that you two, my second sister-in-law, will be accompanying the army anyway. Can you rent the homestead to us? We will rent it at the market price."
The smile on Mi Yuehua's face had completely disappeared.
…
When Ran Xia Sheng came back from outside, he didn't know that Ran Qiu Sheng and Lin Xiu Ying had been there, but he felt that Mi Yue Hua's expression was not right.
When he went out, Mi Yuehua was still happy, why did she look so unhappy when she came back?
Ran Xiasheng didn't think about anything else. He just thought that Mi Yuehua was feeling bad because he had stayed outside for too long.
He said, "Yuehua, don't be angry, I'm outside this time..."
Mi Yuehua said: "I'm not angry with you."
Ran Xiasheng was startled and sat down with the child in his arms, "Then you..."
Mi Yuehua: "The third son and his wife have been here."
"Third brother? Third brother's wife? Are they here to see you, or...?" Ran Xiasheng thought about it and felt that it was not that simple.
If he came just to see Yuehua, Yuehua's face wouldn't be so ugly. Did he come here for something?
Ran Yingying also opened her eyes and listened to her parents' conversation. Have her third uncle and aunt been here?
Mi Yuehua: "They had other things to do and saw me as just a bystander."
Ran Xiasheng: "Did they offend you?"
Mi Yuehua: "Today, the third son's wife asked me if I was going to join the army. If so, could we give them our homestead in the village? They said it was for rent, but I was really unhappy."
Ran Xiasheng's face also darkened.
Ran Yingying listened. Renting a residential plot? Why does this sound so unreliable?
I have heard of people renting houses, but I have never heard of people renting residential land. If the family is divided, can't they get the residential land? Now when it comes to renting, it means they can't divide the family.
Ran Xiasheng said: "We can't rent this homestead. There are only people renting houses, not homesteads. If we ask them to return it later, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time and effort, which will hurt the harmony between brothers. It's better not to lend it in the first place."
Mi Yuehua: "I think so too. After all, this is just a piece of residential land. There will definitely be a lot of talk when the time comes. Moreover, the third brother and his family haven't separated yet. If there is a quarrel, won't the old mansion hate us to death?"
What Mi Yuehua hadn't said was that the third branch hadn't split up yet, and the money was all public, so what could they use to rent? They said it was renting, but that was just a nice word, and they would definitely owe the money. Could they ask them for money? In the end, it was unclear whether they could get the land back.
Ran Xiasheng: "What on earth is this third brother thinking? He actually thought of renting land? If he wants a homestead, wouldn't he have it if he split up the family?"
Mi Yuehua: "They said that the old house would not allow the family to split up, and that if we did, we would sever all ties, so the third brother was frightened."
Ran Xiasheng listened and thought that this sounded like something his parents would say. The second branch had split up the family, which was like a slap in the face of the two elders. If the third son talked about splitting up the family again, the two elders would definitely not agree.
Since the family has not been divided, why do they live separately and rent their homestead? This will only cause trouble.
The second wife can't stand these things.
Ran Xiasheng: "You are right to refuse. There is no reason to rent out this residential land. In a few days, I will build a thatched house and no one will care about this land anymore."
Mi Yuehua said, "Xia Sheng, when we build the house, will the third brother's family ask us to rent it? Will we refuse or agree?"
Ran Xiasheng: "I won't rent it out, whether it's the land or the house, I won't rent it out, just leave it empty."
Mi Yuehua also agreed not to rent out the house. She was originally afraid that Ran Xiasheng would agree to it, but now that she heard him say no, she breathed a sigh of relief.
But I was wondering in my heart: Why did the third brother's family suddenly want to rent land? I really don't understand why all of them are plotting against the second brother?
Originally, she felt a little uncomfortable because the third brother's wife had helped her before.
…
Ran Qiu Sheng and Lin Xiu Ying returned to Xia Shan Village without saying a word.
Lin Xiuying: "Qiu Sheng, do you think my second brother will reject us?"
Ran Qiusheng said: "Why would my second brother refuse? We have a good relationship as brothers."
Lin Xiuying shook her head: "I don't think it's that simple. When I said that, my second sister-in-law's face darkened and she didn't seem very happy."
Ran Qiusheng: "No way? Second sister-in-law is such a nice person, there is no way she would disagree. Didn't she say she would ask Second brother? I believe Second brother will not refuse."
Lin Xiuying: "I feel this is just an excuse from my second sister-in-law. She may not agree to it, and my second brother will not agree to it either."
Ran Qiu Sheng said: "You, my wife, are always thinking about nonsense. We have a good relationship as brothers."
Lin Xiuying looked at Ran Qiu Sheng who looked impatient, and opened her mouth to speak but stopped.
"Qiu Sheng, why don't we split up? Tell Dad and Mom that we'll split up like the second branch, what do you think?"
Ran Qiu Sheng: "Do you think it's that easy to divide the family? You can just divide it if you want? It was so difficult for my second brother to divide the family. After so much trouble, can we still divide the family smoothly? Don't even think about it. I will talk to my second brother and ask him to rent the homestead to us. As long as you stay away from the old house, then my parents won't beat you, and we can live our lives behind closed doors."
Lin Xiuying said, "What if Second Brother rejects us? What if he refuses to rent the homestead to us?"
Ran Qiu Sheng: "Why are you so hesitant, old woman? If I say that Second Brother will agree, then he will definitely agree. Isn't it just a piece of residential land? Second Brother shouldn't be so stingy."
Lin Xiuying still felt uneasy.
…
Ran Xiasheng still went to Xiashan Village and planned to build a house on the homestead.
He originally planned to build a thatched hut first, and then build a large tiled house when he had time. Now he built the thatched hut first to occupy the homestead so that it would not be taken back.
He saw Ran Qiusheng coming over. He knew what Ran Qiusheng was doing there. Before he could say anything, Ran Xiasheng said, "Qiusheng, your second sister-in-law told me that we can't rent this homestead."
Ran Qiu Sheng's face suddenly darkened.
Ran Xiasheng said: "If you want a homestead, then you can split up the family. After that, you can get the land."
Ran Qiu Sheng: "Second brother, are we still brothers? Your land is empty anyway, why don't you rent it to me? I don't owe you any money, I will give you the money."
Ran Xiasheng: "Qiusheng, this is not a question of money. I want to build a house on this residential land. I'm afraid your second sister-in-law will come back to live here."
Ran Qiusheng: "Didn't you say you would bring your second sister-in-law with you to join the army?"
Ran Xiasheng: "Who said this?"
Ran Qiu Sheng: “Isn’t it?” That’s what everyone says.
Ran Xiasheng said, "I'm not sure about this, how do you know? Regardless of whether your second sister-in-law lives here or not, I've decided to build a house on this homestead, and I have to keep it. You can say that I'm heartless as your second brother, or that I'm cruel. If you really want to move out, then tell your parents and divide the family. The village will naturally give you a homestead. There's no need to keep an eye on the second wife's homestead."
Ran Qiu Sheng: "Second brother, you have changed. When did you become so calculative? Isn't it just a piece of residential land? Is it necessary to be so strict? If you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it. I'm going back."
Ran Qiu Sheng left in anger.
Ran Xiasheng looked at his third brother's leaving back, was stunned for a moment, and without thinking too much, he started to build a thatched hut by himself.
He didn't ask anyone to help. It was just a thatched hut, and it didn't require many people to help build it.
In the meantime, Old Man Ran came to see him.
Old Man Ran had no other intention, he just wanted him to go home for dinner, but Ran Xiasheng refused.
Father Ran: "Xia Sheng, do you really not want to recognize your parents? It's just a meal at home, why don't you want to go?"
Ran Xiasheng said, "Dad, after I finish building the hut, I have to go back. Yuehua is waiting for me to come back for dinner."
Old Man Ran looked at the son in front of him and felt that he seemed a stranger, as if he was no longer his son.
How come Xia Sheng has become so distant? He doesn't even give me a chance to go home for a meal?
Or is he afraid that his family will say something to him again?
What else could he think of now? He just wanted to mend the relationship between father and son.
And the boss...
Ran Xiasheng: "Dad, there's really no need. I'll leave after I finish building the house. I'm worried about Yuehua being alone in the county town."
Father Ran opened his mouth and wanted to ask the second son if his wife would follow the army in the future. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
Even if the second son's wife follows the army, that is stipulated by policy. Can they stop it?
Can't stop it?
…
Ran Yingying's full-month banquet was held in a grand manner.
This is the first time Ran Xiasheng becomes a father, and his baby daughter is finally one month old. How can he not be happy?
He wished he could give Yingying the best things in the world so that she could choose from them.
Ran Yingying was one month old, and Mi Yuehua finally came out of her confinement.
After not seeing the light of day for a month, I finally came out of confinement. The feeling was completely different.
The full moon party was held at the Ambassador Hotel, the largest hotel in Wei'an County.
It was Cen Zhifeng who contacted them and arranged several tables.
Originally, the Ran family did not plan to host so many tables, just one or two, inviting their closest relatives and friends to come over for a meal and have some fun.
Later, it was decided to set up six tables and invite the village committee cadres from Xiashan Village, several villagers with whom Ran Xiasheng had a good relationship, and his comrades-in-arms and friends.
When Kong Ling came over, she held Mi Yuehua's hand and kept nagging: "Yuehua, you look like a completely different person now than you were half a month ago. You look really young now. It seems that Xia Sheng has taken good care of you."
Mi Yuehua blushed slightly, "Xia Sheng is really good at taking care of people."
It has to be admitted that he took very good care of her during the confinement period.
As soon as she came out of confinement, she went to the county people's hospital for the most comprehensive examination.
The doctor said after the examination that he had never seen such a healthy woman who had just come out of confinement.
Cen Zhifeng also secretly asked her for the secret so that she could follow it when she had her baby and was in confinement after giving birth.
Mi Yuehua said at the time: "You know, if it weren't for Sister Kong Ling taking care of me in the first half of the month, I might have starved to death. Later, Xia Sheng came back and he took care of me, just like usual."
As for why her health is so good, she herself doesn't know the reason.
Ran Yingying smiled secretly, why is she so healthy?
The reason is naturally her.
Ran Yingying is very proud. She has a small chest but a firm and plump breast. She is very proud.
Her favorite thing to do now is to protect her family, keep them healthy, and improve their luck as soon as possible.
Now, she protected her mother and saved her from the postpartum illness she suffered in her previous life, which led to her early death.
If my mother's health is good, she won't get that annoying postpartum disease in the future, and she won't die because of a bad health.
Dad doesn't have to worry about Mom's illness, taking her to the hospital everywhere and delaying his work.
Now there are only three things to worry about.
The first was the disaster that had happened to my father, who was seriously injured. I had to hurry over there, or I would be called back by the army temporarily, and go to the battlefield, where I would end up injuring my leg.
The second thing, of course, was Zhai’s father’s death.
Only if Dad Zhai is safe, my brother’s childhood will not be so miserable.
Although but.
She also hopes to see her brother earlier, but if it means sacrificing her brother's childhood, she would rather not see him so early.
Let my brother enjoy his childhood well.
Don't live like in the previous life, where you ended up living such a miserable life because of your father Zhai's sacrifice and your mother Zhai's remarriage.
She would rather...
Don't meet so early.
Although, she missed her brother very much.
Can't bear to.
No matter how reluctant you are, you have to endure it.
"Yuehua, do you know? Your mother-in-law broke her leg." Kong Ling suddenly said.
Mi Yuehua raised her eyebrows. Broken leg?
Although they had severed their relationship, I felt extremely happy when I heard the news.
"Yes, the leg is broken. Aren't you curious?" Kong Ling was surprised to see Mi Yuehua's indifferent expression.
Mi Yuehua said: "What's there to be curious about? She is old, it's normal for her to break her leg."
Didn't Old Lady Ran often fall and get hurt when she was in confinement? She broke her leg today, and bruised it tomorrow.
There's nothing curious about this.
"It was caused by a quarrel between her and your father-in-law. Because you and Xia Sheng broke off relations with them, your father-in-law was angry and beat her. He also yelled at her to get out of the Ran family and go back to her parents' home." Kong Ling said, "By the way, your father-in-law is also very cruel. Although your mother-in-law is cruel, if your father-in-law hadn't been unfair and hadn't persuaded her, would things have developed to this point? No one in the village is willing to pay attention to your parents-in-law now. Even Qiu Sheng and Xiuying have talked a lot about their attitude towards them."
Mi Yuehua said: "We have not severed our relationship with the third brother and his wife."
When the relationship was severed, it was only stated that it was with the two elderly people in the old house and the eldest family, but the third family was not included.
After all, the third brother's family helped her during her confinement and brought her meals.
People can't do such heartless things.
She has a clear idea of who has helped her and who has hurt her.
As for whether she has any ulterior motives, don’t think about her for now.
As a human being, we all have some little thoughts in our hearts, but when someone chooses to stand by and watch when you are in trouble, while someone else thinks again and again and decides to help, you need to be grateful for both.
"That's how they quarreled? And then he broke his leg?" Mi Yuehua was a little unconvinced.
Kong Ling approached her and whispered, "They said the old lady broke her leg accidentally. But from what I heard when they were arguing next door, I guess it was your father-in-law who broke her leg."
Mi Yuehua opened her mouth wide. Was he interrupted?
Ran Yingying also widened her eyes. Interrupt?
What Ran Yingying despises most is men who beat women.
No matter what the reason is, if a grown man hits a woman, no matter how reasonable he is, it is unreasonable.
What's more, what godmother said is absolutely right. If it weren't for Old Man Ran's injustice, would things have developed to the point of severing the relationship?
Let’s not talk about the bad things that happened during this confinement period. Let’s just say that fourteen years ago, they felt sorry for their eldest son and didn’t want him to go to the battlefield to die, but they pushed their second son into the battlefield.
For this reason alone, they are being unfair.
No matter whether it is the eldest wife or the father, they are all children of the Ran family and the biological sons of the two elders.
No matter how long or short your fingers are, the degree of eccentricity cannot be this high.
This is really disheartening.
Not to mention, this time my mother gave birth prematurely and died early due to dystocia, and her food was withheld during her confinement period.
These are big things and cannot be washed away.
If it's wrong, it's wrong.
But to be honest, Ran Yingying looked down on this grandfather who put all the blame on the woman.
Mi Yuehua said: "These have nothing to do with us anymore."
It's all cut off, why bother with all this?
"There is one more thing you may not know." Kong Ling said mysteriously again.
Mi Yuehua looked over, but there was no impulsive or curious expression on her face.
It seemed that she had no desire to know what was going on in the old house.
"Liu Songdi ran back to her parents' home."
Mi Yuehua said: "It's normal for her to run back to her parents' home. It would be strange if she could stay there given the state of the old house now."
Kong Ling shook her head: "No, you still don't understand. I heard that Liu Songdi wants to divorce Ran Chunwang?"
Divorce? Mi Yuehua was shocked. This was a big deal.
Everything was going fine, how come it ended up involving divorce?
Don’t the couple in the first wife have a good relationship?
Liu Songdi gave birth to three sons for the first wife and had a very upright life. Why did she suddenly want to get a divorce?
Mi Yuehua was indeed curious.
Ran Yingying also pricked up her ears.
However, she could roughly guess some of the reasons.
As a cheap aunt, she has always been the type who does not do anything without benefits and runs away as soon as difficulties arise.
This kind of thing never happened in my previous life.
In the previous life, the eldest wife lived a very comfortable life.
Ran Hua is the hero in the book, the son of luck, and his life as the eldest wife is filled day by day.
I remember that after my father died, his position as factory director was replaced by someone else, and the person who replaced him was her "good cousin" Ran Hua.
"I heard that Ran Chunwang is going to be sentenced to death, so Liu Songdi wants to divorce him." Kong Ling said in a low voice.
Mi Yuehua said: "I don't know anything about this, how did she hear about it? Whether Ran Chunwang will be sentenced to death, the final verdict has not yet come out, the army and the armed forces are still studying it, and there is no final decision. How did Liu Songdi know so much?"
Kong Ling said, "Maybe it's a guess. After all, desertion is a serious crime. Even if she doesn't die, she won't be sentenced lightly. How can she live with three children? Liu Songdi is not stupid. She will think about herself."
Mi Yuehua nodded. With Liu Songdi's intelligence, she could indeed do this.
But these have nothing to do with their second wife.
No matter what the eldest wife did, it had nothing to do with them and they had already severed ties with her.
"Yuehua, I'll take the child to meet my friends." Ran Xiasheng suddenly came over and held the child.
When Ran Yingying was one month old, Ran Xiasheng had to entertain guests, so he didn't carry Ran Yingying around to meet people at first.
Mi Yuehua has always been holding me.
At this moment, he finally couldn't wait any longer.
He has many classmates and comrades in Weian County, and they all want to meet Ran Yingying.
He couldn't help but want to show off his precious daughter everywhere.
Let them see how outstanding his daughter is.
"Old Ran, your daughter is so pretty. She looks like my brother's wife."
Ran Xiasheng said, "That's right. My daughter is a beauty, like my wife." He paused, "She also looks a little like me. Look at her little nose, it looks exactly like me."
Everyone laughed.
"Old Ran, how about we become in-laws?" said Lao Wu, an old comrade and instructor at the Public Security Bureau. "My son and your daughter are a perfect match."
Ran Yingying pricked up her ears immediately. Child marriage?
That won’t do. How can we have a child marriage?
She knew Uncle Wu’s son, that little brother Wu…
After thinking hard and remembering the boy's appearance, Ran Yingying shook her head like a wave drum.
No way!
Ran Xiasheng, who seemed to be in tune with his daughter, shook his head and said, "Go away, how can you, a naughty boy, be worthy of my daughter? Your son is eight years older than my daughter. He is not worthy."
"My son is only eight years older. It's better to be older. He will be more caring."
Ran Yingying shook her head even harder, No!
Don't marry Brother Xiao Wu!
Ran Xiasheng's actions were almost the same as Ran Yingying's: "No, no, my daughter has just been born and you want to take my cabbage? You wish!"
Both father and daughter shook their heads in the same way.
"Haha, the little guy is unhappy!" someone next to him laughed.
Ran Yingying looked over.
Her gaze, however, moved from that person to the direction of the gate.
They were standing right next to the gate.
Ran Xiasheng had to receive the guests, even though they were almost in place.
But there are still some things that are not in place.
The person welcoming guests there at this time was my fourth uncle Ran Dongsheng.
What really caught Ran Yingying's attention was not Ran Dongsheng.
It was the father and son who walked in from outside.
Ah, it’s my brother!
The author has something to say: Ran Yingying: Ah, my brother is here!
Chuohong: I’m here to be a live-in son-in-law.
