Grandma Ruan was truly hurt: "Zhi'er, I did all this for you, how could you treat me like this?"
"You're not doing this for me. You're just doing it to control the Ruan family and to get more people to listen to you. You're just using me as an excuse!"
"You, you unfilial daughter!" Old Man Ruan's fingers were trembling!
"I understand. Anyone who doesn't meet your expectations is a rebellious son or daughter. I won't get in your way anymore. I'm leaving. From now on, we don't need to greet each other when we meet. Let's go!"
Ruan Shengzhi packed up all the fruit on the table, then left with his two children, completely disregarding whether Old Lady Ruan lived or died!
Seeing his daughter's heartlessness, Old Man Ruan closed his eyes and sighed, "I've failed in handling family matters my whole life!"
Old Man Ruan leaned back, appearing as if he had aged considerably in an instant! But this only lasted a moment before he said to the staff, "Please continue!"
And so, despite Old Mrs. Ruan's objections, Old Mr. Ruan and Old Mrs. Ruan divorced, even though they had never actually registered their marriage.
The so-called divorce now is just a certificate issued by the nursing home, proving that the two elderly people have dissolved their marital relationship due to a breakdown in their relationship!
Then, none of the sons had any further relationship with Old Lady Ruan, especially Ruan Shengpeng, whom Old Lady Ruan demanded be stated in the document.
Ruan Shengpeng was adopted and has no relation to Old Lady Ruan at all!
Old Mrs. Ruan was somewhat delirious: "Si'er crawled out of my belly, so why did he become adopted? Why are you lying?"
"Don't you remember? Because you didn't take good care of Si'er, he had a high fever that wouldn't go down. By the time I came back and took him to the hospital, it was too late to save him!"
“My comrade-in-arms died in a mission, leaving behind a one-year-old son who had no one to take care of him. He asked me to take care of him, so I kept him as my fourth son!”
"You're lying! You're lying! He is Si'er!"
"Then why do you dislike him so much? Isn't it because you've realized he's not your child? Or is it because you feel guilty?"
"I feel guilty? What do I have to feel guilty about? I'm raising five children alone. Many children die because of neglect. What do I have to feel guilty about?"
"Then why didn't you want to hug him later? Why did you only pamper Ruan Shengzhi? Wasn't it because you felt guilty? Oh well, what's past is past."
“Go back to your hometown. I’ll have someone change the property deed to your name there, and I’ll still give you 30 yuan a month as usual!”
"If I pass away, I will have someone take 30 yuan from my savings and continue to give it to you every month. If you get sick, I will also have them arrange for you to receive care!"
"Don't bother your children. They might come to see you a few times and take care of you in your old age, but that's all they'll do!"
"I've raised them for over a decade, they can't treat me like this. I want to live with them in my old age!"
"That's impossible! Otherwise, I wouldn't have given you thirty yuan. Don't you have this wonderful granddaughter? She can take care of you in your old age. Thirty yuan is enough for the two of you!"
"If she takes good care of you, your hometown will belong to her from now on!"
"Think it over before you answer me!" Old Man Ruan felt extremely tired. He leaned back in his chair, his body no longer able to stand upright. He was truly old!
Ruan Tian wanted to refuse; she didn't want to take care of the elderly. But she also didn't want to go to Ruan Shengzhi's house, where the people would only enslave her and verbally abuse her at will.
After thinking it over, Ruan Tian still felt that Yao should cling to Old Man Ruan's leg. She pretended to be surprised and hugged Old Lady Ruan's arm: "Grandma, I will take care of you from now on. I will definitely take good care of you!"
She's just an old lady. Once she can't move anymore, she'll be in charge of everything herself! Ruan Tian comforted herself.
Old Mrs. Ruan's trip this time was truly a double loss; she not only failed to return to Old Mr. Ruan's side and continue her previous life of enjoyment.
It also gave her sons the opportunity to not support her, and this fourth son was not even her own child; she had hardly raised him.
He was now completely out of her control. Old Mrs. Ruan looked up at the second floor. That vixen, she could no longer manipulate her. She had really miscalculated!
If I don't agree, I'm afraid I'll lose the thirty yuan immediately. Will I have to scavenge for a living in the future?
This is absolutely unacceptable! Oh well, at least Ruan Tian is still willing to stay with me, so I'm not completely destitute!
After some deliberation, Old Lady Ruan agreed to Old Man Ruan's suggestion, and the two signed an agreement. Old Man Ruan then had Ah Hai send the person away!
As he watched people leave, Old Man Ruan's eyes were filled with sorrow. He never imagined that his retirement life would be like this, that he would have to spend it all alone!
Fortunately, Ah Hai was there, so he had company. He turned around and saw Ruan Shengpeng. Remembering his expedient plan, he quickly explained, "Si'er, I was just lying to her. You are my son, that's absolutely true!"
Ruan Shengpeng nodded readily: "Dad, I believe you!"
Ruan Shengpeng is already this old, so whether or not she is his biological daughter doesn't really matter to him. All he wants is to get rid of Old Lady Ruan!
"I'll have a statement released tomorrow declaring that you're not her child, that I raised you myself, and that no one will criticize you for whatever you do from now on!"
"Dad, why don't you just write me a statement? That way, if anyone tries to cause trouble, we can just show it to them. Issuing a statement might not be good for you!"
"Your father doesn't have many days left to live. I don't want this crazy woman to affect you brothers, so it's better to cut ties with her now!"
"Dad, are you feeling unwell? Did you take the medicine I sent you before?"
"The medicine? I haven't taken it yet, I don't know where I put it!"
"Didn't I tell you to take it? Tongtong is very skilled in pharmaceuticals. Our military region is currently producing a hemostatic drug that is extremely effective..."
Hearing Ruan Shengpeng boast about his daughter's amazing abilities, Old Man Ruan became happy: "Have your wife and child come down so I can see them. I also want to see if the twins look alike!"
When they were little, they looked very, very alike!
The soundproofing isn't very good right now, and Yao Tongjia upstairs can hear the noise downstairs the whole time. She's fairly satisfied with how Old Man Ruan handled those people earlier!
Without waiting for Ruan Shengpeng to call her, she led Yao Yanxin and Yao Tongxu downstairs.
Yao Tongjia didn't hesitate to address him: "Hello Grandpa, my name is Yao Tongjia, and this is my place name is Yao Tongxu!"
When Old Man Ruan heard the surname Yao, his smile faltered. People nowadays valued tradition, and both of his fourth son's children had the surname Yao.
He turned to look at Ruan Shengpeng!
