Sitting on the southbound train, Old Mrs. Ran couldn't calm down.
She felt an unspeakable pain towards the second brother's family.
When she drove the second brother's family out that day, she already regretted it.
The most promising person in the family is the second child. The money he sends back every month is enough to support the family for several months.
But when all this was no longer there, she regretted it deeply.
At the beginning, she should not have agreed to separate the family, let alone sever ties.
If they severed the relationship, she and her husband would be losing their son.
The village committee official said to them that day: "You are really troublemakers. You drove away such a good son."
Did she do that? Old Mrs. Ran did not admit it.
In her opinion, it is natural for sons to support their parents.
It is perfectly normal for a mother to beat her son or daughter-in-law.
Why are she and her husband unforgivable sins in the eyes of the second brother?
She was not convinced.
They lived a miserable life during these five years.
Without the income from the second wife, the eldest son was in jail, and his wife ran back to her parents' home. There was no one to do the housework or farm work.
No one knew who gave the third brother’s family the courage, but they also started clamoring to split up the family business.
Having already argued about the separation of the family once and severed relations, they were extremely cautious about the separation of the third branch.
At first, they disagreed.
Of course they were unwilling to agree. If the family had not been divided, then the work points earned by the third son in the fields could still be distributed between them, and the food they received would also be managed by them. But once the family was divided, they no longer had the right to manage the third son's family.
If the third child is filial, he can be given a pension. If he is not filial and does not receive a pension, will they still make trouble? Will making trouble be of any use?
But, in the end, the family was divided.
No matter how they insisted on not dividing the family, it was useless. The third brother answered them like this: "Dad, Mom, you have to divide it whether you want to or not. This matter is beyond your control. If you don't agree, then I will follow the example of my second brother and cut off all ties with you."
"You dare!" At that time, Mrs. Ran and Father Ran were so angry that their eyes popped out.
The third son said, "What's there to be afraid of? If someone does it on the first day of the month, don't blame us for doing it on the fifteenth. When my wife was pinned to the ground and beaten, why did you say anything? Is my wife not a human being? Should she be pinned to the ground and beaten like this? This family has been divided. If it's not divided, then just break it off."
…
Old Mrs. Ran took a deep breath. She couldn’t understand why such a happy family was torn apart like this?
How good were the times in the past? We were a family, and we didn’t split up. We all spent our work points together, and the second child would send his wages back home.
After all, it was the second brother's family who started it.
After all the arguments, it was still Mi Yuehua, this woman, who caused the trouble.
What Liu Banxian had predicted was absolutely correct. This woman was truly a spendthrift.
Old Mrs. Ran's heart was always in turmoil and she couldn't calm down.
"Mom, eat this." Ran Chunwang bought two lunch boxes for his parents.
There were only two lunch boxes, but none for himself.
"Chunwang, what about you?" Old Mrs. Ran noticed that her son didn't eat.
Ran Chunwang just shook his head, "My son is not hungry."
As soon as he said the word "hungry", his stomach growled.
Old Mrs. Ran sighed. Among all her sons, the eldest was the most filial. She would rather not eat the food herself than leave it for them.
I wish the second and third sons could be so filial.
The fourth one...
Old Mrs. Ran is naturally a good person, but the fourth son's wife is too rude.
"Big brother, we're eating together, you can't go hungry. Dad and mom have been relying on you to take care of them along the way." Old Mrs. Ran was so moved that she burst into tears.
Ran Chunwang said "hmm" and went over to eat with Old Lady Ran.
Old Man Ran looked at the mother and son in front of him, sighed in his heart, and put some of the food in his lunch box into the mother's lunch box.
"Dad?" Ran Chunwang called out.
Father Ran said, "What I have is enough, but you and your mother don't have enough."
Old Mrs. Ran didn't say anything, but she still had some complaints about her husband.
When the second son separated from the family and severed ties, she was already feeling unhappy. The old man not only did not comfort her, but scolded her and even beat her. She was not without complaints in her heart.
Later, the family became increasingly unsustainable. The third son no longer cared about them, and the eldest son was in prison. Only the fourth son would occasionally come home to visit them. But he didn't bring much money. How could that money be compared with when the second son was still alive? The second son used to be very generous with money. He had a lot of allowances and sent a lot of money home every month. She was used to spending lavishly and always felt good about managing money. Now that she finally had no money, she felt a huge gap in her heart.
The fourth brother only gave her a few yuan every month, which was only a dozen yuan a year. She felt that it was far from enough.
But the fourth son's life was not easy either. He originally lived in his father-in-law's house, and the money was all squeezed out of his teeth. Although the fourth son kept saying that the money was given by his wife, she didn't believe it.
Fortunately, with the 20 yuan pension that the second child gets from the village committee cadres every year, her and her old man's life is not so difficult.
"Boss, is it really okay for us to go find the second brother?" Old Man Ran was still unsure.
The incident of their breaking up the relationship caused a big uproar. Not only was there evidence from the village cadres, but there were also witnesses from the armed forces.
This incident was such a big deal at the time that the old woman kept saying she wanted to file a complaint with the government, but he refused to agree.
Why did they go to the second oldest this time? Because the eldest oldest said that no matter how much they severed their relationship with the second oldest, their blood relationship could not be severed, and the second oldest had to support the two elders in law. If he did not, it would be considered unfilial and he could file a lawsuit.
He didn't want to come at first, but the old woman wanted to come because he wanted to.
Before coming, he had warned her not to make trouble again.
If they continue to make trouble, it will not benefit them at all. They still have a pension of 20 yuan a year, but if they make trouble again, they may lose all the 20 yuan pension.
What will they eat then?
The boss has just been released from prison, and it is hard to say whether he can support them in the future.
He was really scared. He was afraid that the old woman would make trouble again. He really lost all his dignity.
At that time, the old woman agreed and said that there would definitely be no trouble.
However, he still had doubts. Would it really stop causing trouble? He still had some doubts.
…
After sitting for three days and two nights, we finally arrived in the southwest.
They bought the cheapest tickets along the way, and the train ride was so long that their bones were almost broken.
Especially the two elderly people. When had they ever been on a train for such a long time? They looked like they had just come out of a refugee camp, especially old lady Ran, whose face was completely pale.
"Mom, are we going to the second brother's troops now?" Ran Chunwang asked Old Lady Ran beside him.
Old Lady Ran said, "Do you know where the second brother's troops are?"
She didn't know where the second child was, she only knew that he was in the southwest. But the southwest was so big, where could she find him?
At this time, Old Mrs. Ran felt a little regretful. Why did she come here so impulsively?
What if the second child doesn’t want to see them?
What if they can’t find the second one?
What if...
I really have no idea what to do.
I haven't seen him for five years, and I don't know how his second son is doing now.
She also learned from the fourth brother that the second brother had been promoted.
I felt a little surprised. Why hasn't the second son lost his job because of that spendthrift Mi Yuehua?
Why didn't the birth of that money-losing granddaughter destroy the second son's family?
She had doubts in her heart, but she trusted the Immortal Acorn very much and felt that the Immortal Liu would not lie to her.
Liu Banxian is a half-immortal.
Ran Chunwang said: "I don't know. Don't you know?"
Didn't the second son send money back every year? He also wrote letters, so why didn't my parents remember?
Old Mrs. Ran asked Old Father Ran again: "Old man, do you know?"
Ran Lao said, "How could I know? I only know that the second son is in the southwest. In the past, the letters I wrote back were always received by the second son's wife. When I sent money back, was there an address on it?"
I can’t remember some of them clearly because I’m old and my memory is not good.
Ran Chunwang was stunned. He didn't even know this?
What should they do? The Southwest is so big, where can they find the second brother?
I don’t even know which city it is in. If I knew, I could ask around and it would be easier to find it.
But what should we do now?
Two old people and a middle-aged man were like three bewildered children at this moment, not knowing where to go or what to do.
At this moment, they realized that the result of acting impulsively was to be so helpless.
They should have found out where the second brother lived before leaving.
But the three of them thought that the other party knew, and then no one asked, and they just came over.
As a result, they knew nothing in the unfamiliar southwest.
…
Second bedroom.
Ran Xiasheng and his men didn't know that the two old men and Ran Chunwang had already arrived in the southwest, and they were still waiting on high alert.
Ran Yingying was also waiting for Old Lady Ran and the others to come over so that she could torture them hard.
Five years ago, when she was just born, her mother was abused by Old Lady Ran. She wanted to do something, but she couldn't do anything. She was too young at that time, and even if she used the koi carp to attack, she couldn't do much, at most she could only make Old Lady Ran suffer a little.
But it is an indisputable fact that my mother was still abused.
Now that she has grown up and is five years old, she can abuse Old Lady Ran and Old Man Ran however she wants.
Besides, she is a child. Even if she really abuses someone, no one will blame her. After all, she is just a little kid who knows nothing.
If she were older, she might not be able to take advantage of her child status because people would say she was a naughty child.
Sometimes age is a powerful weapon.
A weapon that works everywhere.
But they waited for three days and there was no result.
Even Ran Xiasheng didn't receive a call from his old leader.
If the people in the old house really went to the old unit, the old leader would definitely call him. Even his comrades and colleagues would call him to inform him.
But, there was nothing.
It's calm, but also has the calm before the storm.
Ran Xiasheng certainly wouldn't think that the old house had retreated and was not planning to come. This was impossible.
How could my parents not understand?
He knew his parents too well. Since they had decided to come, there was no way they wouldn't come.
Moreover, when Old Yang called him, it was confirmed that the old couple had come to the southwest under the leadership of Ran Chunwang.
Judging from the time, the slowest train should have arrived by now.
"Dad, those two people from my hometown aren't coming?" Ran Yingying couldn't help but run to ask Ran Xiasheng.
Ran Yingying didn't even want to call them grandpa or grandma at this moment, and simply called them "the two from my hometown" instead.
Ran Xiasheng didn't blame her for being rude. To be honest, he was also annoyed by his parents back home.
"They have already boarded the train." Ran Xiasheng stroked his brows. This was a very troublesome thing.
"So it's impossible that they didn't come." Ran Yingying continued, "Then why haven't they come yet?" There was a deep sense of loss in her voice.
Ran Xiasheng couldn't help but look up and looked at his daughter in surprise, "Are you disappointed that they didn't come?"
This kid, is he so happy that they came? Would he be disappointed if they didn't come?
He hoped they wouldn't come, because they would just make a mess of the house.
Ran Yingying propped her chin up with both hands and blinked her eyes: "It would be best if they didn't come. But if they come, I'll have something to do."
Ran Xiasheng looked over in confusion, and Ran Yingying coughed: "Nothing, I was just too excited."
She just wanted to avenge her mother.
But she could just think about it in her heart and couldn't tell her father.
Dad is too upright and may not accept her way of revenge.
She planned this matter herself, and she couldn't tell her mother, let alone her father.
Just waiting for the arrival of Old Lady Ran, Old Man Ran and Ran Chunwang.
Unfortunately, she didn't wait for the three of them.
The news that the three people from my hometown were coming seemed to be just news. It disappeared without leaving any twists and turns.
They waited for half a month, but the three people from their hometown never showed up.
Ran Xiasheng was finally relieved. Maybe his parents from his hometown were unable to come for some reason?
Or, was he stopped by the fourth brother?
When he took his wife and children back to the southwest, the fourth child had promised him that he would keep a close eye on his parents and would not let them cause him any trouble.
At this moment, they got on the southbound train without saying a word. They would definitely be caught by the fourth brother, right?
Otherwise, it is hard to explain. They clearly boarded the train heading south, but there was no news for half a month.
Ran Xiasheng was unsure and decided to call Lao Yang to inquire about the matter.
This matter has been bothering him, and he has been feeling a little uneasy at work recently.
"They got on the train and didn't come back. Your fourth brother didn't catch up with the train either and didn't stop them." Old Yang said on the phone.
Ran Xiasheng was puzzled. Since the fourth brother didn't stop them, why didn't he show up?
Could it be that they have a change of heart and decided not to come?
If this were true, he would have looked up to his parents back home.
But is it really that smooth?
Ran Xiasheng felt that that was unlikely.
He knew his parents too well; they were definitely not the kind of people who would give up halfway.
Something must have happened, something he didn't know about.
But he was not worried at all. After all, Ran Chunwang was with them. What could happen to the two old people?
As long as they don't come to the army to look for them, everything will be fine.
As for whether they can find them or not, that is not within Ran Xiasheng's consideration.
As long as no one tells them, they will never find this place.
This is a secret military area, and outsiders are not allowed to enter or leave at will.
Anyone who leaks secrets will be sentenced, so he was relieved that no one dared to tell his parents.

Some people don't recognize appearance.
