"Xia Sheng, are you really going to leave home?" Old Man Ran shouted again.
He felt sad and bitter in his heart.
He really didn't expect things to develop to this extent.
At first, he really didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Xia Sheng is their son. As a daughter-in-law at home, shouldn’t she be filial and take care of her parents?
What's the big deal about letting your daughter-in-law do some work?
The only thing my husband did wrong was not giving my daughter-in-law anything to eat during the confinement period.
but
There are too many families where the mothers do not observe confinement after giving birth and continue to work. Does she have no hands or feet? Can't she cook?
Old Man Ran really didn't think his wife had done anything wrong.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that he pushed his second brother to that point.
He wanted to have a good talk with his second son and ask him to take back his decision to break up the relationship, but everything was ruined by his wife's words.
He knew that his wife didn't really want to kick out their son and daughter-in-law; she was just defending her rights as a mother.
A man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
My husband definitely didn't really want to drive the second son and his family out.
She just wanted the second brother to comfort her and tell her that she was wrong. She really didn't think of cruelly kicking him out.
There are no bad parents in the world, so why is the second child so determined to cut off his parents?
Are we only allowing him to do this and not allowing them to suffer the grievances of their parents?
In this world, is there any son who wants to sever ties with his parents?
However, he guessed that his son would do this.
The second brother has always been a more opinionated person, except for the time when they begged him to join the army.
At that time, the son actually wanted to go too, right?
If he didn't want to go, he wouldn't go even if they begged him to.
He himself wanted to try his luck in the future, so he agreed to their request.
He still remembered what the second son said when he left: "Dad, Mom, I promised you, not only because I want to be filial, but also because I want to go. Staying in the countryside will never lead to anything. Joining the army will give me the hope of standing higher. Although going to war is dangerous, it also brings opportunities. I am willing to try hard for the opportunity. If I succeed, I can escape from the countryside. If I fail, the worst that can happen is death."
My son always has his own ideas.
He knew it from the beginning.
He saw it when his son married Mi Yuehua.
He had chosen his daughter-in-law, but the old couple were unwilling because the Mi family had too many members and the composition was too complicated. After agreeing, Mi Yuehua might help support her family.
The Mi family is so poor, how could they not support my mother's family?
This was also the reason why her husband suppressed Mi Yuehua in the beginning. He didn't want to give the second son's wife the opportunity to go to her parents' home to support her.
As for the nemesis his wife talked about, he didn't believe in that Liu Banxian, but his wife believed it more.
He didn't expect the second brother's reaction to be so big.
They are so old that they are willing to abandon their parents for their wives and children.
This is what Old Man Ran can't tolerate the most.
"Didn't you already know my determination to break up the relationship?" Ran Xiasheng didn't even turn his head, but just threw out this sentence lightly.
At that moment, Old Man Ran's heart fell to the bottom.
It hurts. It really hurts.
He didn't want to lose the second son, the most promising son of the Ran family.
If the second son had not severed ties with them, the old couple would have been very happy, and no one in the village would have dared to look down on them.
But if the second child really decides to break off relations with them, then the old couple will be looked down upon by many people.
Some people may even drown them with just a mouthful of spit.
These are not what Father Ran wants to see.
but……
He couldn't help but turn around and glare at Old Lady Ran fiercely.
At this time, Old Lady Ran was also stunned.
She didn't expect this result.
This is really not what she wants. She doesn't want to lose her second son.
She may not want her daughter-in-law, but she wants her son.
That was also her son who was born after ten months of pregnancy.
At that moment, Mrs. Ran regretted it.
…
Lao Yang's jeep is very big and has plenty of space in the back seat.
Ran Xiasheng carefully carried his wife into the jeep, and his daughter was held in Mi Yuehua's arms.
He gently smoothed her clothes over her.
At this moment, bringing the daughter-in-law out is an act of helplessness.
My daughter-in-law is still in confinement after giving birth and cannot stand the cold wind, but things have come to this point and the house can no longer be lived in.
The worst thing is that the daughter-in-law lives there and is scolded by Old Lady Ran every day, which makes her depressed.
When he carried his wife out, he dressed her in thick clothes and covered her with a quilt and blanket, so there was not much wind.
The quilt was a military quilt he brought from the army. It was very warm, more than one or two times warmer than the quilts used at home.
The same goes for blankets, all of them are military blankets.
My daughter-in-law was wearing a military coat that could be used as a small quilt.
Ran Yingying stared blankly at her father carefully carrying her mother into the carriage, and her heart was moved by her father.
Dad really loves her and mom very much.
She didn't know whether her father had severed ties with the family for her mother's sake in her previous life.
I only remember that after my father was injured and discharged from the army and returned home, his attitude towards our family was very cold.
At that time, my mother's health had deteriorated, and my father had been taking her to see doctors everywhere.
Later, her mother died, and her father took her to live in the mine in the county town and rarely returned to the village.
He always knew that his father had a bad attitude towards other members of the Ran family.
Later, the old lady brought her aunt to our house to cause trouble, and it almost made my father unable to do his job.
Later, my father's leg injury flared up and he was almost unable to work.
She didn't know what methods the Ran family used to snatch her father's job away.
When Dad died, they didn't even bother to care about his body, but were still stealing the second wife's things.
She wanted to protect what belonged to her.
But it can't be protected.
In that life, she was too weak.
They were like robbers, stealing everything from the second room.
It was only after her brother came back that she was able to protect the things that belonged to her.
But by that time, she was already dying.
Now, that's great.
Dad came back just in time, much earlier than he came back in his previous life.
I just hope that in this life, Dad won’t go to join that battle so soon, and won’t be called back by the army so early.
She also hoped that her father could take them back with him this time.
She protected her father.
Ran Xiasheng also got into the carriage and didn't give any extra glances to his parents outside.
Even though Old Man Ran looked at him eagerly, he didn't give him any extra glances.
He exhaled and slowly closed his eyes.
Doesn't he feel uncomfortable?
Uncomfortable!
Does he really want to break off relations with his parents?
He had not thought about it this way before, but now, he did not regret it.
Even though he knew that doing so was an act of disrespect to the elderly.
But he couldn't remain indifferent after knowing how much his wife and children had suffered.
He wanted to be a good son, husband, and father.
But now he can no longer take care of all three relationships.
His heart was cold and painful.
The pain after being hurt.
If at this time, he ignores his wife and children out of foolish filial piety, then he is truly worse than pigs and dogs.
Since no one cares about his little family, he will take care of it.
He doesn't need his parents to think about him as their son.
In fact, as early as fourteen years ago, when he was forced by his parents to join the army in place of his older brother, he was already extremely disappointed with their parents.
Even though he wanted to escape from the countryside and pursue a better future.
But the process is different, and the mentality is naturally different.
The disappointment of being abandoned made him feel cold in his heart.
"Mr. Xia!" Mi Yuehua couldn't help but hold her husband's hand, feeling a little worried about him.
She also knew that her husband was feeling very sad.
She was very touched that her husband could do all this for her.
Ran Xiasheng patted her hand gently, "It's okay."
Only then did Mi Yuehua feel relieved.
…
Outside, however, there was already a lot of crying.
The reason was not just because of Mrs. Ran’s crying and making a fuss, nor was it because of how much regret Mr. Ran felt.
It was because Ran Chunwang was caught in a jeep.
Fourteen years ago, Ran Xiasheng was a deserter because he was afraid of fighting, and he was replaced by Ran Xiasheng and went to the southwest.
Old Yang found out about this later. He heard about it after he was discharged from the army.
But I can't find it on file yet.
Just because he couldn’t find the evidence didn’t mean he couldn’t catch Ran Chunwang.
Old Yang had serious considerations before arresting him.
He admitted that he had some personal motives, because Ran Xiasheng was his old comrade-in-arms. They had been on the battlefield together and Ran Xiasheng had once saved him.
But if Ran Chunwang himself did nothing wrong, would he arrest him?
Ran Chunwang had that in mind back then, but in the end he let Ran Xiasheng take his place. His intentions were not pure.
If he had a little bit of gratitude, even if he took care of Ran Xiasheng's wife and children, as long as he said a few good words in front of Old Man Ran and Old Lady Ran, Mi Yuehua and her daughter would not have to suffer this.
Old Yang felt indignant for Ran Xia.
He also knew that even if Ran Xiasheng had resentment in his heart, even if he wanted to sever ties with his hometown, he would not go too far.
After all, Ran Xiasheng still needs to fight for his future in the army.
Then let him come forward. No one will say anything to him even if he does.
"What are you doing arresting Chunwang?" Old Lady Ran was the first one who couldn't help it and jumped out to stop them.
The boss is there to provide for them in their old age and cannot be taken away.
As for her other sons, the second son has already said that he wants to cut off ties with her, although she denies it.
The third son lives in the county. Although he is not a live-in son-in-law, he is no different from a live-in son-in-law. He rarely comes to the countryside. The third son and his wife have their own jobs and are doing well.
The only one at home was the eldest son. They would have to live with him in the future, so how could they watch him being kidnapped?
This crying immediately attracted the attention of other people in the village. They leaned over the door cracks and fences to look inside.
Then we saw the scene where Lao Yang ordered people to arrest Ran Chunwang. Some people didn't understand the cause and effect of the incident, so they asked about it casually.
After learning about the situation, some people started to talk about how Ran Xiasheng was extremely cruel.
It would have been fine if they just severed the relationship, but they even went so far as to arrest Ran Chunwang. Are they trying to force the eldest wife of the Ran family and old lady Ran's family to death?
He has already severed his father-son relationship with the Ran family, so he should let the two elders live, right? Ran Chunwang should take care of them in their old age, isn't this forcing them to die?
This discussion naturally reached Ran Xiasheng's ears. This jeep was not very tight and the sound insulation was not that good, so he could hear it clearly.
Ran Xiasheng's brows furrowed, and he noticed that things were in chaos outside.
Mi Yuehua nervously grasped Ran Xiasheng's hand. She knew that this would affect Ran Xiasheng's future in the army. Regardless of whether the order to arrest Ran Xiasheng was given by Xiasheng or not, others would put the responsibility on him.
"Xia Sheng..." Mi Yuehua shouted nervously.
Ran Xiasheng patted Mi Yuehua's hand gently to comfort her.
Ran Yingying also looked outside curiously with her spiritual sense and found that the outside was really in chaos.
Old Mrs. Ran stood in front of the car and refused to let anyone take Ran Chunwang away.
With Old Lady Ran blocking the way, it really took a while for people to do it.
Old Lady Ran questioned Old Yang: "What crime did my son commit that you want to arrest him? You can't ignore the law just because you are Old Two's friend? You can't just arrest people at random? Can officials just arrest people at random? I'm going to sue you at the Revolutionary Committee!"
Old Mrs. Ran stiffened her neck and questioned loudly.
Old Yang was about to walk towards the jeep, but when he heard Old Lady Ran's question, he immediately laughed.
Old Yang was a politician before he retired from the army. He was always smiling. When he heard the old lady's question, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"Old lady, do you really not understand, or are you pretending not to understand?"
Old Lady Ran raised her chin high, "Anyway, you can't arrest the boss!"
At this time, Ran Lao also came over and said, "Leader, you must have made a mistake. My son has always been an honest person in the village. He has not done anything illegal."
He didn't yell in a shrill voice like Old Lady Ran. He bent his waist and kept his posture straight.
Old Yang said: "Ran Chunwang broke the law. Don't you know? Fourteen years ago, he signed up for conscription, but ended up being a deserter. This is already a violation of the law."
Old Man Ran was stunned. Wasn't this matter already in the past?
"Back then, the second son joined the army in place of the eldest son. He did not desert!"
Old Yang grinned, "Grandpa, do you think he can escape responsibility by finding someone to replace him? When Old Ran joined the army, he did not fill his quota, but signed up for it himself. Otherwise, his name in the army is now Ran Chunwang, not Ran Xiasheng. Do you really think the country doesn't know? But at that time, the village committee issued a certificate. Although the source of soldiers was tight at that time, it was an order from the Military Commission that one person from each family should go. Since Old Ran went, your eldest son will not be held accountable for the time being."
Old Man Ran opened his mouth slightly, he really didn't know this happened.
He always thought that the eldest brother was unwilling to join the army, so the second brother took his place, and the eldest brother had nothing to do.
"If Ran Chunwang had not signed up and written down his name, then it would have been nothing to do with him if one of your Ran family members went to the army. But he signed up, and when he heard that he was going to the southwest to serve in the army, he was so scared that he pretended to be sick and wanted to escape conscription. At that time, his name was indeed crossed out here, and later, when Old Ran joined the army, no one investigated the matter. However, just because no one investigated it at that time doesn't mean that no one will investigate it now. I know about this matter, and of course I can't just let it go like this."
In Old Man Ran's eyes, Old Yang's smile is scarier than the devil.
He really didn't expect that this matter would be dug up again after fourteen years.
Old Yang said, "Old man, I've said it before, God is watching what we do. When you guys are rushing to kill them all, why don't you think about the fact that you haven't even wiped your own butt clean. Karma will always come true, and retribution will come!"
Father Ran fell to the ground with a fart.
…
Liu Zhaodi was also dumbfounded. She didn't expect that severing the relationship was not the worst thing. Ran Laoer actually wanted to take her husband away as well?
How can this be possible???
Ran Chunwang was the mainstay of the family. Without a man, how could they and their son survive? The child was still young, and the whole family depended on Ran Chunwang.
Liu Zhaodi almost didn't think twice and did the same thing as Old Lady Ran, stepping forward to catch the man. "What did my husband do that you want to arrest him? His second uncle, our eldest wife has been very kind to you, you can't repay kindness with hatred. If I hadn't kept persuading mother, Yuehua would have been driven back to her parents' home long ago, how could she be living like this now?"
Old Lady Ran was trying to stop the two veterans. When she heard what Liu Zhaodi said, she slapped her in the face and said, "You stinky woman, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Liu Zhaodi didn't care about anything and didn't play the role of a filial daughter-in-law at this time. She said, "Am I wrong? You scold Yuehua every day and call her your nemesis. You think I don't know. You just want his second uncle to marry the daughter of a relative from your mother's side. That's the daughter-in-law you want. His second uncle married Yuehua, and it has always been like a thorn in your heart. You are not satisfied with this or that. You find all kinds of excuses, just to make his second uncle divorce his wife!"
Although Old Mrs. Ran was not smart, she knew at this moment that if this was confirmed, it would not benefit her at all, and would only make the second son and his wife hate her. Naturally, she could not admit it.
He didn't care about the boss anymore and rushed up to fight with Liu Zhaodi.
This scene shocked everyone else.
You were just trying to stop the soldiers and didn't want them to capture Ran Chunwang, but now they're fighting?
For a moment, no one came to their senses.
Ran Yingying also stared at it blankly. What does this look like?
This is a dog-eat-dog fight, with a mouth full of hair?
It turned out that two people who were in the same camp finally started fighting for their own interests?
Ran Yingying immediately felt that this was very ironic.
It turns out that the so-called harmony between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is all fake.
Ran Xiasheng, who had his hand on the door handle, suddenly stopped.
He took a deep breath, closed his eyes helplessly, and automatically blocked out everything outside.
Mi Yuehua glanced at her husband cautiously, and seeing that he was not disturbed by the commotion outside, she finally put her worries to rest.
Mi Yuehua also followed his example and closed her eyes, no longer disturbed by the movement outside.
Old Lady Ran and Liu Zhaodi fought for a while, but seeing that they did not attract Ran Xiasheng's attention, they looked at each other.
The fighting hands slowly stopped.
The two of them rushed to the front of the car at the same time as if they had made an appointment.
Old Mrs. Ran even fell on the front of the car, slapping her thighs and crying, "Oh my God! Why is my life so miserable? I worked so hard to give birth to a son, but he got married and forgot about his mother, and even wanted to take his own brothers away. Everyone, come and judge, how can I live? I might as well die."
The neighbors were all pointing and talking about how cruel Ran Xiasheng was. He didn't even want his own parents, and he wanted to take his own brother away. There was no one in the world who was more cruel than him.
The villagers' discussions made Ran Xiasheng's face turn pale.
Mi Yuehua was extremely nervous. She kept looking at Ran Xiasheng. Seeing that he had a sullen face and remained silent, she hurriedly held his hand.
Ran Xiasheng patted her hand and comforted her: "It's okay."
"Xia Sheng, forget it." Mi Yuehua said, "Don't let me affect your future."
Ran Xiasheng just shook his head at her and said nothing.
At this time, at the front of the car, Old Lady Ran was already sitting there, refusing to move.
"If you don't let the boss go, I will never open it even if I die. If you have the guts, just run over my body."
Old Yang frowned.
The veterans stared.
Ran Xiasheng said nothing.
However, Mi Yuehua nervously pulled the corner of Ran Xiasheng's clothes.
The author has something to say: Ran Yingying: Dad is awesome!
Father Ran/Mrs. Ran: Why is this happening?
