Fang Ran shook her head stubbornly, "I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything. Why didn't Zhao Tuan tell me..."
"Old Chief, Ranran grew up in front of you. You should know what kind of child she is. There must be a misunderstanding here!" Seeing that asking Li Hanting for help was fruitless, Aunt Lian immediately asked Grandpa Li for help, and her just arrogant look was completely gone.
Old Master Li had a stern face and said nothing.
Aunt Lian's heart sank suddenly. It was over, it was really over.
Fang Ran's eyes were red. "Brother Han Ting, would you rather believe a second-married country girl than me?"
Fang Ran believed that Li Hanting definitely didn't know that Li Qingge was getting married for the second time, and that she was dumped by someone.
"What's wrong with a second marriage? What's wrong with coming from the countryside?" Old Master Li frowned upon hearing this, "Don't forget, you and your mother also came from the countryside!"
"Yes, yes, old leader, don't be angry. Ranran doesn't mean what you think. She has always been doing well in the art troupe. How could Ranran be expelled as soon as Li Qingge joined the art troupe?"
Aunt Lian tried to throw dirty water on Li Qingge.
Li Qingge chuckled.
Aunt Lian looked at her in confusion, "What are you laughing at?"
"I think it's quite amusing that you two are singing the same tune here." Li Qingge smiled faintly, "All these words you've said are nothing more than an attempt to get Grandpa Li to kick me out.
Do you think everyone likes to depend on others like you do?"
Li Hanting looked at Li Qingge's bright little face, and his dark pupils shrank slightly.
"Qingge is my granddaughter. She can live however she wants in this house. No one has the right to kick her out. If you don't want to live here, you can leave at any time."
Old Master Li's voice was serious. Aunt Lian could see that the old leader was angry. She couldn't leave. Working here would earn her a lot of money and would not be tiring. Most importantly, it would give Ranran the opportunity to get close to Li Hanting.
"Old Chief, if we don't leave, where are you going to let us, an orphan and a widow, go?" Aunt Lian sobbed, "Ever since Ranran's father passed away, my hope in this life has been Ranran. If I go back to the village, I'll be scolded by people!" Those people in the village have little education. They can only scold her and say that she is unlucky. She doesn't want to go through that kind of life again.
"Since you know how difficult it is for women, why do you still look at Qingge with such strange eyes?!" Old Master Li saw that she was really confused, "Apologize to Qingge!"
Aunt Lian knew that if she wanted to stay, she couldn't go against Li Qingge, because the old man still cared about her very much.
Thinking of this, Aunt Lian apologized to Li Qingge, "Qingge, please don't hold it against Aunt Lian. I was wrong."
Fang Ran was not convinced and asked why she should apologize to Li Qingge!
Why is everyone speaking in Li Qingge's favor? This wasn't the case before.
Old Master Li waved his hands impatiently, "I'm already so old, I don't want to see these messy things in the future!"
Aunt Lian said "yes" repeatedly and pulled Fang Ran back to the house quickly.
Li Qingge was no longer in the mood to read the script. She thought that if they lived under the same roof in the future, the same conflicts might arise again, so she still wanted to move out.
Li Qingge opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, but before he could utter a word, Li Hanting stepped forward, supported the old man's arm, and walked into the house. "Grandpa, I have something to discuss with you."
The grandfather and grandson went to the main hall.
"..." Forget it, let's wait until we find a suitable opportunity. Li Qingge took the script back to the house.
A pair of resentful eyes were revealed in the west room window, staring at Li Qingge as he went back into the room and closed the door. Fang Ran sat on the edge of the bed indignantly!
"Why does she live in Brother Han Ting's room!" Fang Ran gritted her teeth, "Mom, why didn't you tell me that it was her who lived in our house?"
"You haven't asked me." Aunt Lian now has something more important to ask her, "You, what's going on?"
The work in the art troupe is both respectable and a stable job, and Fang Ran has a good foundation in dance. Even if she can't marry Li Hanting, if she stays in the army, maybe she can meet other suitable people in the future. But now, after leaving the art troupe, it's hard to even find a decent job!
"Mom, I've already made it very clear to you. It's fine if others don't believe me, but why don't you believe me?"
Fang Ran stamped her feet in anger, "It's Li Qingge! She's such a scheming person! She must be the one who schemed against me!!" (｀へ′)
"So what are your plans next?" Aunt Lian looked at Fang Ran worriedly, "You are not young anymore, how about I help you find a suitable partner?"
Before Aunt Lian could finish her words, Fang Ran interrupted her impatiently, "Mom! I won't marry anyone else except Brother Han Ting in this life! Stop trying to persuade me!"
"Li Hanting has no interest in you at all. Can't you see that?" Aunt Lian was helpless. Her daughter's standards were too high. She and her daughter worked for the Li family. How could they possibly look down on Ranran!
Although, she dreamed of her daughter marrying Li Hanting.
Dreaming is just dreaming after all, and it is different from reality.
"Brother Han Ting will definitely fall in love with me." Fang Ran believed that she had the ability to do so. If she lost her job in the art troupe, she would just find another one. It wouldn't be difficult.
Aunt Lian looked at the determination on her daughter's face and didn't know what to say.

Military District Guesthouse,
Whenever Xu Changan is not training, he will come to accompany his sister.
Xu Meili had no intention of going back. She had to pay the school fees, and she would not be able to go to school without money.
Xu Changan has no money now. His salary from the army will not be paid until the beginning of the month. He is living a poor life now.
"It's inconvenient for you to live here. I'll call home first and ask them to let you continue going to school." Xu Changan said calmly.
"Brother, are you sending me back?" Xu Meili looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Mom is determined not to let me go to school. I have to bring the tuition back!"
As long as she pays the money to the school, her mother will have no choice but to agree.
"I don't have any money right now," Xu Changan said embarrassedly, "How much is the tuition?"
"Thirty." Xu Meili pursed her lips nervously. "For one year's tuition, I don't have to eat at school. I can bring my own food from home." That way, she could save more.
"It's so expensive." Xu Changan frowned. He didn't expect his sister's tuition to be so expensive. He didn't have to worry about these things before.
Xu Changan paused and asked, "My previous salary couldn't cover the food and drink for my family, right?"
"Of course it's not enough." Xu Meili nodded. "Your salary is only enough for our father's medicine. Our family relies on the crops grown in the fields. My tuition is paid by my sister-in-law... Sister Qingge."
"Where does she get the money if she doesn't have a job?" Xu Changan felt as if a huge rock was blocking his chest and he couldn't breathe.
"Sometimes she takes money from her parents' home, and sometimes she sells things." Xu Meili noticed that Xu Changan's face looked unhappy, and said in a low voice, "Brother, Sister Qingge is a very good person..." Can we not get a divorce?
