But it had been many years since his grandmother's death, and he was unable to repay her debt. He could only kowtow three times in front of her grave during the Qingming Festival every year to apologize.
Now, his mother's words hit him hard.
He couldn't understand his mother's behavior. Whether his great-grandmother was partial or not, it was not a reason for her to kill.
"Mom! You are so confused! I am so disappointed in you!" Fang Jiaxing roared with red eyes and grief. If it were someone else, he would make the other person pay a heavy price to avenge his great-grandmother.
But this person is his biological mother!
Liu Xiuyue caught her son's extremely disappointed look and felt uneasy. She stood up and grabbed Fang Jiaxing's hand, "Xing'er, I admit that I was confused at that time. I now... I now know that I was wrong. You can't abandon me!"
Her son has always been upright, and the image of a loving mother that she has maintained for decades was finally shattered at this moment.
Fang Jiaxing slowly closed his eyes, and with exhaustion, he held her hand. "Let's go. I'll take you away from here, and you don't have to come back. When I get promoted in the military, I can let my family accompany me, and I'll take you to my side."
Liu Xiuyue's eyes lit up. "Really? Can I really join the army?"
In fact, if Qian Ben married Jiang Wanying, his military rank would definitely be promoted more easily and faster. Now he can only wait for the opportunity.
Fang Jiaxing nodded and helped her pack her luggage. The mother and son prepared to leave the village completely.
Liu Xiu Yue remembered that she still had a box of treasures, so she quickly took the key and went into the house to move the mahogany box out.
Fang Jiaxing asked, "What is this?"
Liu Xiuyue lowered her voice mysteriously, "These are all treasures your mother has accumulated over the years. They will be enough for us to eat, wear and use in the future."
Although Fang Jiaxing was curious, after he thought about it carefully, he suddenly understood what it was. It was probably some shameful 'stolen goods' left behind from that year.
After the mother and son had almost packed up, they prepared to take advantage of the fact that all the villagers' attention was focused on Xu Dehuai and his group and slip away.
Unexpectedly, the front door of the house was suddenly kicked open by someone from the outside, and the two wooden doors fell down in an instant, making a loud noise.
Liu Xiu Yue and Fang Jiaxing heard the noise and ran out of the house to see what was happening. They saw Lu Yanchuan, wearing a military green coat and looking very aggressive, rushing in.
The two of them were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
Liu Xiuyue pretended to be calm and asked, "What are you...what are you doing here?"
Fang Jiaxing followed up, "Lu Yanchuan, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're older than me! You kicked down my door and broke in, what do you mean by that?"
Lu Yanchuan's sharp eyes swept over them like a knife, finally landing on the packed luggage at the door of the main room. He sneered, "You want to run away after doing something bad?"
"You say we did something bad right away, do you have any evidence? I'm lucky enough that I didn't ask you to compensate for my door. I don't want to make a fuss on New Year's Day. If you know what's good for you, get out of here!" Fang Jiaxing said stubbornly, even though he didn't know why Lu Yanchuan came at this time and even said such words.
But so many years have passed since my great-grandmother's death, there can't be any evidence left, right?
Liu Weiyang was indeed arrested, but in order to mitigate his crime, he would not take the initiative to mention the other murder case he was involved in.
