It was a woman's voice.
Old Mrs. Ran was crying and looking over. It was a very beautiful woman.
With her hair in a pigtail and wearing a floral dress, she looked extremely pretty, like a daffodil.
Old Mrs. Ran's eyes widened immediately.
Ran Chunwang’s eyes became even straighter.
He had never seen such a beautiful girl.
Although the second son's wife was pretty, she was too soft and didn't like to dress up. Also, she was his brother's wife, so he didn't think much about it.
But the girl in front of me is so beautiful.
Ran Chunwang's heart, which had been silent for years, suddenly began beating wildly.
He felt his heart beating.
That's a different feeling from being with my wife.
Songdi was not a pretty woman and was lazy at home, but she was his daughter-in-law and he had responsibilities towards her.
But he knew that it was not love. He had heard before that love was wonderful, but he had never felt it and did not believe in it. But now, he felt it.
It turns out that love is really sweeter than candy.
He felt the breath of spring.
Lotus. I felt very disgusted in my heart. The old lady in front of me was crying and snotting. I was so disgusted.
She had never seen anyone more hateful than this old woman, who was sitting on the ground howling.
If she hadn't just heard her calling a familiar name there, she wouldn't have bothered to stop.
Not to mention the man opposite her, who looked at her as if he had never seen a woman before. She felt disgusted, but she forced herself to suppress it.
"You just said who is Ran Xiasheng to you?" He Hua took a step back. She felt disgusted and wanted to vomit in her heart, but there was no such expression on her face.
Even the voice is so pleasant. Ran Chunwang thought to himself that his bones were almost crispy.
Old Mrs. Ran had come to her senses by now. The beautiful girl in front of her was smiling, and her heart was as soft as kneading dough. She forgot to cry, "Ran Xiasheng is my son."
Lotus. I was delighted, but I still asked, "But is it the deputy leader of Group A, Ran Xiasheng?"
Old Mrs. Ran said, "When my son left, he was the deputy battalion commander. I'm not sure what he is now, but he is definitely in Regiment A. Comrade, do you know my second son?"
He Hua said, "Of course I know Deputy Commander Ran. I..." I was in love with the company commander under him. She was a little shy and didn't say the rest.
But Mrs. Ran misunderstood. From her expression, she thought that she had talked to the second son about her boyfriend.
"The second son got promoted again?" Her eyes lit up immediately. Five years ago, he was the deputy battalion commander, and now he is the deputy regiment commander? That's the deputy regiment commander. Old Mrs. Ran was so happy. Did her monthly salary increase? She seemed to see countless banknotes floating in front of her, and she was almost drooling with laughter.
"Yes, he has been the deputy head of the group for a long time, and I heard that he was promoted recently." Hehua was not very clear either, but she heard her cousin's husband mention it, and it seemed that the reason for their transfer was promotion. It seemed that he became the head of the group?
Old Mrs. Ran and Old Man Ran were so happy. It was good to get promoted, as it meant more money.
When Ran Chunwang heard that Ran Xiasheng was promoted, he felt jealous, envious and hateful.
But his eyes were always fixed on the lotus in front of him. He thought her shy smile was so charming.
Old Mrs. Ran smiled and said, "Have you talked about a partner with the second son?" It would be good if he had talked about a partner, because then that spendthrift Mi Yuehua could get a divorce and leave.
The second son severed ties with his family, wasn't it because of Mi Yuehua's whispering?
As long as this woman is not in the Ran family, the second son can marry a new wife, then she can come back, right?
The more she thought about it, the happier she became. Old Mrs. Ran looked at Lotus with sparkling eyes.
I have never looked forward to this moment as much as I do now.
Ran Chunwang's heart sank to the bottom. Has she talked about the partner with the second brother?
Looking at the beauty in front of him, who had actually dated Ran Xiasheng, Ran Chunwang felt disgusted and uncomfortable as if he had eaten a fly.
Why did the woman he was attracted to like the second brother? And why did she even talk to the second brother?
So what should he do?
He Hua was shocked. When had she ever been in love with Deputy Head Ran? Would she dare?
She did want to, but that Deputy Captain Ran looked fierce, and he looked at her as if she were a bug. Even if she wanted to, she didn't have the courage to talk to him.
She knows clearly in her heart what kind of men she can think about and what kind of men she cannot think about.
Even if she did have such thoughts, after all, Deputy Head Ran was already the deputy head at a young age, which was more capable than her cousin's husband, but she only dared to think about it, not really seduce him.
Moreover, although Deputy Captain Ran was handsome, he had a stern face all day long and never even looked at her straight in the eye, so she felt that this man was difficult to get along with.
Although Captain Zhai's official position is relatively low, he is neither cold nor fierce. His wife at home is about to get divorced, so he can win her over with just a few tricks.
Unfortunately, she was still a step too slow. For some unknown reason, Captain Zhai was transferred away.
Then Deputy Head Ran was transferred and their families also left.
She didn't know where they went. When she asked her cousin's husband, he always said, "That's not something you can know," and then sent her away.
After Captain Zhai left, she no longer had any reason to stay in the residential area, so her cousin sent her back home on the pretext of something.
She no longer had the chance to go back to her family's neighborhood, nor did she have any way of finding out where Captain Zhai had been transferred to.
Recently her family has forced her to go on blind dates. She has dated several, but none of them can compare to Captain Zhai, not to mention Deputy Regiment Commander Ran, who is not even as good as him.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she shouldn't have been so reserved at the beginning. She should have just seduced the man and made the matter a done deal. Then she wouldn't have to worry about Captain Zhai not agreeing.
What a miscalculation.
Now she actually met the parents of Deputy Head Ran here? He Hua was immediately happy.
Then will she have a chance to meet Captain Zhai again?
Just when she was feeling happy, she suddenly heard the old woman say this and was stunned.
"No, I didn't..."
But Old Mrs. Ran took her denial as shyness.
Yes, as a girl, how can I not feel shy when someone asks me such a question? Anyone would feel shy.
Old Lady Ran was already certain in her heart that the girl in front of her must be dating the second brother. She was indescribably happy when she thought that Mi Yuehua would be driven out by the second brother.
Mi Yuehua deserves to be unlucky. Who asked her to whisper in the second brother's ear?
Everyone present had different expressions. Old Lady Ran was happy, but the other two were not.
Ran Chunwang looked like he was about to cry. The spring that he had finally come to was gone just like that?
But Ran's father was not thinking about this. He frowned and said, "This girl, you like my second son. Don't you know that he already has a wife? Is it right for you to do this?"
Although he was not very satisfied with the second son's wife, rural people were not so unfaithful. He felt that the second son should take good care of the family after getting married, instead of thinking about unfaithful things outside and falling in love with other women, which was very shameful.
The second son is still an official. What if this affects his future?
I heard that the army is very strict about lifestyle issues. What if I lose my position because of this?
He Hua's eyes widened and she waved her hands hastily: "No, I'm not in love with Deputy Head Ran. I know he has a wife."
This is no joke. Deputy Captain Ran is such a fierce man. If he knew that she was spreading the news that she was in love with him, would he lock her up?
It's possible that she could think of him. No matter how outstanding he is, he is not someone she can ever dream of. It's enough for her to just think of Captain Zhai.
If a person stands too high, he or she will not dare to think.
But Old Lady Ran said, "Girl, if you like it, then you like it. It's okay. I support you."
Lotus widened her eyes, huh?
Old Man Ran glared at her and said, "Old woman, what are you talking about?"
Old Lady Ran said, "Am I wrong? You know I don't like Mi Yuehua."
Ran Lao said, "Whether you like it or not, and whether the second child likes it or not, what does it have to do with each other? As long as the second child likes it, that's all that matters."
What is this old woman saying? How can a man who has a wife fool around outside? Do you still want a future? How can a mother-in-law want to kick out her daughter-in-law and let her son find someone else?
Is it reasonable for this to get out?
The second son has become such a high-ranking official. Is it easy?
This old woman is getting more and more outrageous. She only abused the second son's wife before, but now she even dares to have such a bad idea. She is really going to tear down the house if she doesn't get beaten up one day.
He Hua said, "Grandpa, please stop scolding the old lady. She misunderstood. I didn't discuss the target with Deputy Head Ran."
Father Ran looked doubtful and asked, "Really not?"
Lotus said: "No."
But Old Lady Ran said, "Don't be afraid, girl. The old man is always so fierce. If you really like our second son, I will support you."
Lotus just smiled and didn't answer.
But the smile did not reach deep into her eyes; her eyes were cold.
However, Old Mrs. Ran had no idea that the girl hated her in her heart. She still thought that the girl was gentle and kind, and was determined to match her up with the second brother.
"Old man, please come with me. I know how to find Deputy Captain Ran." He Hua's eyes were full of calculations.
If any of Deputy Commander Ran’s relatives were around, would her cousin-in-law tell her where Captain Zhai was?
By then, will she be able to continue her relationship with Zhai Lian?
As for Ran Xiasheng, she still didn't dare to think about it, no matter how Old Lady Ran assured her.
She decided not to focus her attention on Deputy Head Ran for now and wait and see what happens.
If it is really possible...
She shook her head again, not daring to think about it.
…
Ran Xiasheng didn't know that his mother had fallen in love with He Hua and was planning to bring him and He Hua together and divorce Mi Yuehua.
Fortunately he doesn’t know. If he knew, he would be so mad at me.
No one is as bad as his mother, and she is not going to die for the time being. She will continue to do bad things. There is no end, only more bad things.
He had always been prepared for them to come to his house, but he never saw them coming. During this time, he gradually forgot about it.
Until a phone call from Lao Yang woke him up from his dream.
When Lao Yang called that day, he had just returned to the office and had not had time to drink a sip of water.
The situation has become a little tense recently. Although the two countries are not yet at war, the situation is still particularly tense.
They have received orders from their superiors to be on high alert and ready to face the coming of war at any time.
This army of theirs is meant to penetrate the hearts of the enemy and be tested at any time.
The previous war had just ended and another war could break out at any time. How could Ran Xiasheng not be prepared?
During this period, training never stopped.
Lao Yang called. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to drink water. He had just sat down when the phone rang.
"Xia Sheng, you have to pay attention to your parents and your elder brother. They have approached the armed forces in various parts of the southwest."
Ran Xiasheng's brows were already tightly knitted together, "Are they going to the armed forces to do this?"
"Of course they're looking for you. They think they can get more information about you by asking the armed forces."
Ran Xiasheng said: "How could the Southwest Armed Forces have my information? The Armed Forces don't manage the military affairs. They just transport soldiers, accept veterans, and hand over files. The Armed Forces are under the jurisdiction of the local government, not the military."
Old Yang said, "But your parents didn't know. They thought the army was also under the control of the armed forces, and they thought they could find out about you from the armed forces in various places. When they were asking around, someone called me, and that's when I found out about this."
"Old Yang, you are really well-informed." There are so many armed forces in the southwest, but the armed forces in different places are not connected to each other, let alone the armed forces in their hometown?
Old Yang smiled and said, "It just so happened that I had a comrade-in-arms there. He heard that your father was from the same place as me, so he told me about this. Then I realized that your parents had not given up on this matter. Old Ran, your parents will come to you sooner or later about this matter. With their unwillingness to admit defeat, it is only a matter of time."
Cai Xiasheng knew, of course, that his parents would come knocking on his door sooner or later.
How could he, as a son, not know his parents' personalities?
Especially his mother, who will not give up until she reaches the Yellow River.
How could they give up? With Ran Chunwang encouraging them, they would definitely not go back until they found him.
"Do you know where they are?"
"Yes, it's in Linshi."
Linshi? Ran Xiasheng frowned. Why did this name sound familiar? Where had he heard of it before?
After thinking for a while, he still couldn't remember where he had heard it, so he said, "Old Yang, tell Old Four about this news and ask him to find a way to stop them."
Only if the fourth child goes and blocks the way will it be possible to bring his parents back.
Only the fourth brother can subdue his parents, especially his mother.
Old Yang said, "I have already informed Dongsheng about this matter and asked him to rush to Linshi. If he can't find you there, let him wait at your old workplace. He will eventually find your parents."
Ran Xiasheng nodded, thinking that this method was feasible.
Just as Lao Yang was about to hang up the phone, Ran Xiasheng suddenly remembered something and said, "Lao Yang, wait a minute."
Lao Yang stopped hanging up the phone and asked him what was wrong.
Ran Xiasheng said, "Tell Lao Si that if he doesn't find anyone at my old workplace, he can go to the family community near the county. I'll tell you the address." He gave an address and went over. "I wonder where my parents would go."
"How do you know where to go?" Old Yang asked curiously.
"Just go. I have a feeling my parents will be there."
Old Yang said, "Okay, I understand. I will tell Dongsheng about this. Old Ran, don't worry too much. Your parents won't do anything weird this time. After all, you haven't ignored them and you still send some pension back every year. Even if the organization asks you about this, you have a reason. It won't be easy for them to sue you. The organization will only think that you are making trouble for no reason."
Ran Xiasheng nodded: "I know, I am just annoyed when I see them making such a fuss. And Yuehua, she might really be angry this time."
Old Yang said, "It's okay if your sister-in-law is angry. She has been suppressing her anger and has not exploded. It's good that she can vent it this time. You don't have to show up when the time comes. We are not in our hometown now. It's okay for you to explode. In the army, there are so many eyes watching you, and there are people who want to squeeze your position and climb up. You should leave this matter to your sister-in-law. You must not interfere or take action."
Ran Xiasheng said, "I understand. I know what to do."
After hanging up the phone, Ran Xiasheng just sat there in a daze, thinking about things.
What he just said to Lao Yang, and the matter of his parents going to that family community, were not just random guesses, but were based on facts.
I hope Lao Luo won’t do anything out of line again.
If he interferes in this matter, he will not let him go.
If he dares to interfere, the outcome will not be as simple as discharge from the army. He will directly bring him to a military court.
His current unit is a confidential unit and its address is kept confidential.
Even though it was an old unit, not many people knew about it. Many colleagues thought he was just going to an ordinary unit and didn't think it was that confidential.
The only people who knew about his situation were a few old leaders and Lou Jinxian, who had once been his competitor.
If my parents really found this place, the person who leaked the secret could only be Lou Jinxian.
But Lou Jinxian is a very calculating person, and he is very secretive. He will definitely not leak the secret himself, and he might even push the blame on Ou Xi.
When the time comes, Ou Xi will come forward and tell my parents the address, and it will no longer be Lou Jinxian's business. He has made a good calculation.
Even if something really happened, it wouldn't be him. The only person who could be in trouble would be Ou Xi.
Thinking of this, Ran Xiasheng's brows were already wrinkled together, and he was thinking about what to do.
If his parents really come looking for him, how should he catch Lou Jin who leaked the secret first?
It's very disgusting to always be plotted against by others.
Ran Xiasheng tapped the table lightly with his right hand, calculating in his mind.
"Lao Ran, what are you thinking about?" As soon as the regiment political commissar Lao Zhang entered the office, he saw his partner frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.
Lao Zhang is very satisfied with this file.
He had worked with many people before, with all kinds of personalities. This time he was assigned to the Leopard, which was considered a demotion, because before he was transferred here, he was already the deputy political commissar of the division, and he could be promoted to the political commissar of the division in a few more years. But now he is only the political commissar of a regiment, which is indeed a demotion in the eyes of outsiders.
But the Cheetah is certainly different from ordinary regiments. It is a very special unit. If you serve as the regiment political commissar here and achieve good results, you may be famous in the future and be recorded in the history books.
That is completely different.
He liked this demotion.
Moreover, the Cheetah is currently a regiment, but it may not be a regiment in the future. The room for promotion here is much greater than in his old unit.
In his old unit, there were so many people eyeing the position of divisional political commissar, but there were too many people and too few vacancies. If he couldn't get promoted, he might be transferred to civilian work. It would be better for him to come to Leopard Hunt and be a small regiment political commissar.
Moreover, working with Ran Xiasheng was the most comfortable experience he had had in all his years in the army.
Ran Xiasheng is a comrade-in-arms worthy of close friendship. He is very glad that he made a wise choice at the time. When he arrived at Cheetah, he met Ran Xiasheng and formed a partner with him.
"Lao Zhang, you're here?" Ran Xiasheng came back to his senses.
"What's wrong? You look worried. What happened?" Lao Zhang asked concernedly.
Ran Xiasheng sighed, but he did not hide it from Political Commissar Zhang. After all, when his parents came here, their family affairs would still be spread out.
Although it is said that family disgrace should not be made public, but things have come to this point now, so who cares whether it is family disgrace or not.
Anyway, when his parents come, given his mother's personality, it would be unfair to her if he didn't exaggerate the situation.
"Lao Ran, if you have any worries, why not tell me and see if I can help you think of a solution? If you keep it in your heart, it will cause trouble. As commanders, the slightest mood may affect training."
Ran Xiasheng sighed, "Old Zhang, I'm not afraid of your laugh, something happened in my family."
Ran Xiasheng did not hide the secret from him, but told him the general situation of the matter.
I'm not exaggerating, I'm just telling the truth.
He told her about what his wife had gone through at home, and how when he returned home he saw his mother had actually called a half-immortal and was practicing some superstition at home, saying that his newborn daughter was a female ghost and a monster.
Not to mention my wife's premature birth and the abuse during the confinement period.
Old Zhang was stunned as he listened.
He has seen the worst things, but he has never seen anything worse than this. Is he still a human being?
While their sons are serving in the army and fighting for their country on the battlefield, they are abusing their daughters-in-law at home?
She pushed for premature birth and even tried to starve her daughter-in-law to death while she was still in confinement.
Is this something done by humans?
No normal person would do such a thing.
What is the old lady thinking?
"I severed ties with them at the beginning, just because I didn't want them to get involved with me anymore. But I would send them the pension money every year, and the village committee cadres would hand it to them personally. I have fulfilled all my filial duties." Ran Xiasheng sighed.
Old Zhang patted Ran Xiasheng on the shoulder and said, "You did nothing wrong. If it were me, I would probably do the same thing as you. After all, we have to take care of our own family. We have a wife and children. We should be filial to our parents and love our wives and children even more. Especially since your daughter was so young at the time, it's hard to imagine how your parents could do such a thing."
"At that time, I just wanted to separate from them and didn't think about severing ties with them. But when time came to that point, many things were not as simple as I imagined. Later, I severed ties with them. I just wanted to have some peace and quiet. But I didn't expect that my parents would come to the southwest five years later."
Ran Xiasheng had a headache. "They didn't know my exact address, but they kept asking me. I'm now wondering if someone will tell them and then find their way here."
Old Zhang frowned, "Not really? Our unit is not an ordinary unit, it is a confidential unit. Anyone who leaks secrets will be sued and brought to a military court. Who has the courage to do that?"
Ran Xiasheng told Political Commissar Zhang about the fight between him and Deputy Head Lou five years ago, including the fact that Ou Xi introduced his girlfriend to Zhai Jianguo and insisted on introducing her to Jianguo even though the girlfriend was not divorced, which almost led to a big mistake.
He almost missed the chance to hunt the cheetah, not to mention Zhai Jianguo.
Lao Zhang said, "According to your analysis, it is very likely that this Deputy Headmaster Lou has leaked secrets. Has he really not given up his desire for Cheetah Hunt?"
Ran Xiasheng said: "I don't know whether he gave up or not, but if there is such an opportunity in front of him, he will definitely be willing to take the risk. But he will not really put himself in a dangerous situation. He will definitely find a way to avoid it and find a scapegoat when the time comes."
Just like what happened before, when Ou Xi took action, he got away with it cleanly in the end, and the organization did not investigate or interrogate him.
Instead, it almost put Ran Xiasheng and Zhai Jianguo in a passive position. If they had not grasped the opportunity well and avoided this disaster, Lou Jin might have succeeded first.
How could he have the status he has now?
How did he get the chance to enter Cheetah and take up such an important position?
"Let's think of a solution for this matter. If it really happened, then Lou Jinxian is really abominable. Let's find a way to send him to a military court."
If such a bad apple stays in the army, it will only bring discredit to the army.
Ran Xiasheng nodded. Lou Jinxian should indeed be eliminated. He couldn't be allowed to escape so easily this time.
This time, it's not as easy to escape as last time.
After all, knowing confidential information is not something a family member can do.
Then the person who leaked the information is worth investigating.
By then, it won’t be so easy for Lou Jinxian to escape.
…
While Ran Xiasheng and Political Commissar Zhang were discussing how to get rid of Deputy Head Lou, He Hua had already taken Old Lady Ran and the others to the family community.
It would take more than a few hours to get from Linshi to the residential area where Deputy Head Lou and his family live.
They first took a train to a nearby city and then took a bus to the county.
They drove in reverse like this for a whole day before they finally arrived at the family community.
At this time, they could not enter the family community.
The last time Lotus came, it was Ou Xi who brought them, but this time she came alone, and brought three outsiders with her.
How could the sentry at the gate let them in?
Of course I wouldn’t.
The gun was loaded.
The gun gleamed coldly in the sunlight, frightening Old Lady Ran so much that her calves trembled.
That's a gun. If it goes off accidentally, they will lose their lives.
Why is this place so scary? It's just a residential area. Why are there sentries? And they have guns.
Old Mrs. Ran had never seen such a scene before and had already been frightened out of her wits by the gun.
Ran Chunwang was also terrified. When he was a conscript, he had never imagined that there would be such a situation, facing a gun so directly.
Imagine if he was a soldier at that time, would he also face such guns and bullets on the battlefield?
Just thinking about it scared him to death.
