Unfortunately, Old Mrs. Ruan was used to being domineering in front of Old Mr. Ruan. She shook off his hand and said, "You go find Ruan Tian right now. If you don't find her, I'm not done with you!"
"That unfilial son Ruan Shengpeng, I will make sure he is utterly disgraced!" Old Man Ruan said, looking at Old Woman Ruan's distorted face and the way she gritted her teeth as she spoke of her child.
His heart sank: "Why do you dislike Si'er so much? When he was little, you said you didn't have time to take care of him, so I took care of him myself."
"Now that he's grown up and has his own family, why are you being even harsher on him? You weren't this harsh on your other three sons."
Grandma Ruan turned her head away from Grandpa Ruan. Was she being harsh on Ruan Shengpeng? She didn't think so. She had only poured all her enthusiasm into Zhi'er and Tian Tian, who were by her side!
Even the five fingers are of different lengths, so why can't she have her own preferences? She has to have her own preferences, so what? Who can do anything to her?
Ruan Shengpeng is my son, so he must cooperate with me unconditionally! Otherwise, if I want him dead, he must die!
Old Man Ruan noticed that Old Lady Ruan's gentle demeanor from her youth was gone, replaced by a fierce expression. He knew that his wife and Si'er could not live peacefully together.
In the old woman's heart, she probably gave up on Si'er during the more than ten years that Si'er had been away on missions. Whether the child came back or not, she didn't care at all.
She doesn't care whether her child is happy or not; all she wants is to exploit Ruan Shengpeng to the bone and squeeze out his value to support her beloved daughter!
But he couldn't let his wife do that. He sighed and resigned himself to his fate: "If you don't like him, then you don't like him. From now on, the two of us will live together. As for Zhi'er and Tiantian's matter, let the young people handle it themselves!"
"No! You must deal with this immediately, or none of us will have a good time, including my three eldest sons!" Old Mrs. Ruan seemed to have gone even more insane.
Old Man Ruan's heart tightened, and he clenched his fist: "Can't we just live out our old age in peace?"
"No way! I have so many sons. Can't I sacrifice one to satisfy my love for my daughter?"
"Si'er is also a person, not your possession. He is someone else's husband, just like I am your husband and someone else's father!"
"Can't you just let go?"
"No! If he doesn't listen to me, I'll ruin him. What use is a disobedient child to me?"
Old Man Ruan closed his eyes and asked one last time, "Do you really have to do this? Can't you just enjoy your old age with me?"
"No way! If you don't do what I want, I'll make sure you never have a good life!"
Old Man Ruan's eyes were filled with sorrow: "Then you can forget about going out in the future. I won't let you go and harm a few children!"
"What do you mean?" This was the first time Old Mrs. Ruan had seen Old Mr. Ruan so calm. Her heart pounded with unease for no reason, but she was used to Old Mr. Ruan's complete obedience to her, so she suppressed her bad thoughts.
“We’ll move to the nursing home, where we’ll have a caregiver and Ahai to keep us company. There’s no need for us to see any other irrelevant people anymore. I won’t let you go out or make phone calls!”
"What do you mean?"
Old Man Ruan calmly looked at his wife's wrinkled face. That face that had once captivated him, that round, smiling face, was gone.
Instead, there was a gaunt face full of meanness. Old Man Ruan looked at Old Woman Ruan's face and wondered: When did this face change? How long has it been since he had a proper look at this old woman? Why has her face become so unfamiliar?
Old Mrs. Ruan glared at her, her face appearing even more sharp and mean: "Are you trying to detain me? If you dare to detain me, I'll sue you!!"
Old Man Ruan slumped back in his chair again, looking at his wife in despair. She didn't even want him, her husband, anymore? It's true what they say, you don't know the pain until you experience it yourself!
This old woman can't be allowed to go outside, or the entire Ruan family will be ruined!
Old Man Ruan went out and said something to Ah Hai. Ah Hai came in, tapped Old Woman Ruan's neck twice, and Old Woman Ruan collapsed limply.
Old Man Ruan sighed and helped the person up: "Tell Ah Hua to pack her things, we're moving out today!"
He gently placed his wife on the sofa, saying, "Can't you just enjoy your retirement? I'll take good care of you from now on!"
For the rest of his life, Old Man Ruan focused on taking good care of his wife and not causing trouble for his children!
Ruan Tian, who could speak, had been calling the phone non-stop, but she still couldn't get in touch with Old Lady Ruan. She cursed inwardly, "That damned old woman, she can't be reached at a crucial moment!"
Holding the phone, Ruan Tian thought of her mother, Ruan Shengzhi. She shook her head and finally dialed the number she didn't want to contact.
Less than two hours after receiving the call, the person sent someone to pick up Ruan Tian and even paid all the hospital fees. The service was very attentive.
With the help of the person who came, Ruan Tian finally returned to the military compound after many days. However, when she tried to enter, she was stopped: "You can't go in!"
Ruan Tian was seething with anger inside, but she didn't show it on her face: "Brother, I usually live here. I was only gone for a few days, and you don't even remember me?"
The young soldier blushed slightly: "I remember you. That's why I wouldn't let you in. General Ruan has moved away. He left you a letter!"
"My grandfather moved away? Where did he move to?" Ruan Tian couldn't maintain her usual persona, and her words were sharp and piercing, causing the people who were about to enter the military area to take a second look at her.
Seeing that it was Ruan Tian, I was quite surprised. This girl usually acts like a little lamb, but I never knew she could make such a sound. It's really an eye-opener!
Ruan Tian held the letter, her hands trembling slightly. This was like a bolt from the blue. If she couldn't live in the military compound, how could she improve her status?
Her mother was unreliable, and she couldn't leave the loving old lady Ruan. Her hands trembled as she opened the letter, and she almost fainted.
The letter was written by Old Man Ruan. He said that he had retired and could no longer live here, nor could he take her to the nursing home, which was only for spouses.
Children and grandchildren are not allowed to live in the nursing home for a long time. It is fine to visit the elderly occasionally and stay for a day or two.
In addition, Old Man Ruan said that he had moved all her belongings to Ruan Shengzhi's house so that she could live a good life with her mother from now on.
Stop trying to drag Ruan Shengpeng into this. He's not your father; he has his own children to raise! He has no obligation to support you!
The last sentence almost made Ruan Tian lose her mind. Ignoring the fact that she was outside, her face was full of malice. She tore the letter to shreds and threw it on the ground. Not satisfied, she stomped on it several times!
Those damned old man and damned old woman deserve to die!
