Xia Yulan sighed and said, "Dad, it's me who's holding you back. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been forced to step down and give Zhihua a better future!"
As Xia Yulan spoke, she felt so sad that she wanted to cry.
Her husband clearly had a bright future, but he saved her when he was injured and returned home to recuperate, so he was forced by Li Daniu to retire from the army.
She still believes that she was the one who dragged Li Shuhua down.
Li Shuhua hugged Xia Yulan tightly and said, "Why are you saying all this today? This has nothing to do with you. Don't let your imagination run wild. Besides, what's the point of having a bright future without you? Compared to my future, you're definitely more important!"
Of course, Li Shuhua's place in the army was obtained by Shao Xue selling most of her dowry. Later, Shao Xue became seriously ill (actually, she was poisoned by Li Daniu and He Zhaodi). Li Daniu sent a letter to Li Shuhua's army, asking him to come back.
At that time, Li Shuhua came back to recuperate after being injured and to visit Shao Xue, but was forced by Li Daniu to retire from the army. He did not want the job and allowance assigned by the army, and gave Li Zhihua a quota to join the army instead.
"Dad, Yuandong has joined the army, and now Yuanshan has joined the army too. I feel relieved. I always hope that children can fulfill the dreams that you have not yet accomplished!"
The couple became emotional as they talked, and then...
So the next day, Xia Yulan woke up late...
Li Wenjing looked at her mother's rosy face and couldn't help but take a few more glances. This look was incredible.
Their family is going to have another baby.
…
After Li Yonggang returned to the police station, Jiang Han conveyed Wang Jinju's words to him.
What else could he do? He could only go home after get off work to see what happened to his mother!
Textile factory family compound.
When Li Yonggang entered the room, he saw his mother sitting on the sofa and his good sister Li Yuerong sitting next to her, massaging his back and legs considerately.
It seemed that there were only the two of them at home; his father and two good younger brothers were not at home.
Wang Jinju saw Li Yonggang as he walked in, and said sarcastically, "They say a girl is a mother's warm and caring little quilt, and that's absolutely true. Giving birth to so many sons is not as cost-effective as giving birth to a considerate girl!"
Wang Jinju was secretly mocking him, how could Li Yonggang not hear it.
Li Yuerong said very obediently: "Mom, my brother is back, let's have dinner quickly, I'm hungry!"
The three of them sat at the dinner table, eating in silence, when suddenly Wang Jinju slammed her chopsticks on the table.
"Li Yonggang, have you made up your mind to be with that bitch and let her drag you down for the rest of your life?"
Li Yonggang was mentally prepared for Wang Jinju's sudden attack.
"Mom, can you please not speak so harshly? You bitch, if others hear what you say, how will they view our family?
Besides, Hao Hong and I are just classmates. She's in trouble now, and I'm just helping her find a job. Can you please stop making false accusations against her?"
Li Yonggang spoke in a friendly manner, and Wang Jinju's tone softened.
"You and that Hao Hong were together before, so don't treat me like a fool."
"Your father is already fifty years old, and he's only the deputy director of a textile factory. There's not much room for him to be promoted in the future, and that's how his life will be.
Your two younger brothers are young and useless, so all the hopes of the family rest on you alone."
"Look at the young men in our family compound. They found a powerful Yue family and quickly made it through.
You're looking for someone like Hao Hong who has no background, can't help you at all, and has so many things to do at home. She will only become a burden to you. My son, when will you be able to get through this!"
"Mom, Hao Hong isn't as bad as you say. Although her parents died young, she raised her siblings all by herself. None of their neighbors or relatives have anything bad to say about her..."
Wang Jinju had suppressed her anger, but when she heard her eldest son speaking for that woman, her anger rose again and she slammed the table.
"Li Yonggang, I'm trying to explain this to you nicely, but you don't understand, right? What kind of magic potion did that bitch, that vixen, feed you? She's a bitch who brings bad luck to your father and mother, and will bring bad luck to your parents-in-law and husband in the future. Do you think your father and I have too long to live, so you found someone like this to bring bad luck to us? If you want to die, don't drag our whole family down with you! Li Yonggang, I'm telling you clearly today, as long as your father and I are alive, we will never agree to you marrying her!"
Li Yuerong quickly stood up and stepped forward to help Wang Jinju calm down: "Mom, don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health. What if you get hurt? I feel sorry for you, but I can't take your place!"
Wang Jinju felt pity for Li Yuerong's thoughtfulness. For sixteen years, she only gave birth to this child but never raised her for a single day. However, in the end, this child worried about her, cared about her, protected her, and felt sorry for her.
Li Yuerong didn't forget to wink at Li Yonggang, "Brother, hurry up and apologize to Mom. No matter what Mom did, it was for our own good. You can't make Mom sad!"
Li Yonggang had no appetite to eat anymore. He stood up and said, "Mom, I'm 25 years old, not 15. I'm an adult. I have my own decisions about my own affairs and my own marriage. No matter who Hao Hong is, since I've chosen her, I will be responsible for her until the end!"
"You unfilial son..."
Wang Jinju was so angry that she picked up the half bowl of rice left on the table and threw it at Li Yonggang.
Li Yonggang didn't dodge and let the bowl hit him.
In an instant, the bowl fell from Li Yonggang's body to the ground and broke into pieces!
Wang Jinju's actions did not make Li Yonggang compromise. He picked up a towel and wiped the rice grains off his body.
"Mom, I'm not your only son. You have two sons and a daughter. You can put all your hopes on them. I'm in charge of my own affairs. I believe that with my own efforts, I can also walk my own path well!"
After saying that, Li Yonggang walked out without caring about Wang Jinju's expression behind him.
"Brother, how could you make Mom so angry? Brother, I beg you, please come back, don't treat Mom like this..."
Li Yuerong's voice became more and more urgent, and Li Yonggang walked further and further away...
Today the Zhao family is full of guests.
The eldest son of the Zhao family is the village party secretary, and his first daughter-in-law is the daughter of the director of the town's supply and marketing cooperative, so he is very popular.
As the groom today, Zhao Long is really in high spirits.
