The punch was so powerful, as if thrown with all his strength, that Old Man Liang was knocked to the ground.
Miao Chunhong immediately ran out of the house behind him, her face pale as she yelled, "Help! Someone's killing someone! Help!"
She was actually hiding in the window of the house and watching.
Of course she heard the loud noise when Old Man Liang threw the basin on the ground, so she wanted to come out and see what happened to him.
As a result, as soon as the door was opened a crack, he saw Mulanzhi and others in the yard.
Miao Chunhong was afraid that Mulanzhi was coming to settle the score with her for yesterday and ask her to pay compensation, so she was so scared that she didn't dare to go out.
But he was really curious about what they were doing there, so he hid at the window and watched.
Unexpectedly, while watching this, the old man was beaten!
Miao Chunhong didn't dare to confront Mu Pingjiang head-on, so she could only shout for help from the side.
But Mu Pingjiang acted as if he couldn't hear her voice. With red eyes, he grabbed Old Man Liang's collar and pulled him up from the ground.
"Liang De, what did you tell me back then? You said you treated her well, but she just didn't like you, so she left!"
"In the end, what you said about being nice to her was that you and your family drove her away!"
Mu Pingjiang couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart when he said this.
He simply couldn't imagine how helpless Mulanzhi was when she was driven away!
Liang De had been stunned by Mu Pingjiang's punch just now. His head was buzzing and it took him a while to hear clearly what he said.
When he realized what Mu Pingjiang was talking about, his face turned pale again.
“I, I, I…”
He was in a panic for most of the day, constantly trying to make amends, but he could not come up with a suitable reason.
When Mu Pingjiang saw this expression, he naturally knew that he was thinking of an excuse.
He doesn't know how to repent and apologize after doing something wrong, but only thinks about making excuses. What kind of man is he!
Mu Pingjiang punched Old Man Liang hard again.
"Ah!" Miao Chunhong was so scared that she turned her head and saw Liang Jinheng.
"Liang Jinheng, are you dead? Your father was beaten and you're still standing there. Come and help!"
But Liang Jinheng just looked at her coldly without any action.
Miao Chunhong was furious.
This Liang Jinheng is such a heartless person!
The cadres of the brigade are all on holiday today. The Chinese New Year is just a day or two away, so they don’t have to be on duty anymore.
So Miao Chunhong had no choice but to run into the house and call Liang Jinbu.
Mulanzhi also came to her senses and quickly called Mu Qingsong to go and hold his father back.
Even if what the Liang family did to her back then was indeed problematic, if he continued to fight like this, something big would happen!
Mu Qingsong nodded and immediately walked over to grab his father from behind.
"Dad, calm down for a moment. This old man will be beaten to death if he continues to fight. There's no need to sacrifice yourself for him!"
It was not easy to persuade Mu Pingjiang to calm down in his rage, and Mu Qingsong had to use a lot of effort to pull him away.
He was still sighing as he pulled it open.
Dad is still as strong as he was in the past. If he were a few years younger, I’m afraid no one would be able to stop him.
Although Mu Pingjiang was pulled away, his eyes were still full of anger when he looked at Old Man Liang.
"Liang De, you've lied to me for over twenty years! I'm going to settle this score with you!"
More than 20 years?
Mulanzhi's thoughts suddenly paused.
Could it be that Mu Pingjiang had met Liang De before?
Old man Liang covered his painful wound and wailed, but he didn't dare to shout too loudly, for fear that Mu Pingjiang would come and beat him again.
It was at this time that Liang Jinbu was reluctantly dragged out by Miao Chunhong.
After seeing Mu Pingjiang being held by Mu Qingsong, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly walked over to pull Old Man Liang up.
But facing the furious Mu Pingjiang, he didn't dare to say a word, let alone help Old Man Liang get justice.
Mu Pingjiang took a look at Liang Jinbu, who looked almost exactly like Old Man Liang, and snorted coldly, "Coward!"
From this perspective, it is a blessing in disguise that Liang Jinheng was not led astray by old man Liang.
"Pingjiang, you just said that you met him more than 20 years ago. Why didn't you tell me about this!?"
At this time, Mulanzhi suddenly came over and asked Mu Pingjiang anxiously.
Mu Pingjiang was stunned. Seeing that he could no longer hide it, he could only sigh and whispered.
"Yes, I have seen him."
"As for why I didn't tell you, it's just because I didn't want you to remember these things..."
When he came back from the war, he immediately returned to the Mu family, trying to find the Mu family members.
But he found no one except Mulanzhi.
And when he found Mulanzhi, he found her near the Mu family.
She was in a very bad condition at that time, and was extremely thin. When she saw him, she called him Brother Pingjiang directly, as if nothing had happened.
But at that time, she was clearly in a cold war with him because he left home to join the army.
But seeing that she was safe, Mu Pingjiang didn't think much about it. He just thought that Mulanzhi, like him, only had him as her relative.
So he took Mulanzhi away, but soon realized that something was wrong.
Mulanzhi would suddenly look for something at night. When asked what she was looking for, she would say she was looking for her son.
Mu Pingjiang was surprised because he thought Mulanzhi had no children.
Then when he asked about Mu's parents, she looked at him strangely and said that his parents had gone out to do business.
It was also at that time that Mu Pingjiang realized that there was something wrong with Mulanzhi's mental state.
He took her to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor concluded that she had suffered a great deal of trauma and her memory was disturbed.
She automatically changed the story of her parents' death into that they went to other places to do business, and was unwilling to accept the fact that they were dead.
As for the child she mentioned, the doctor was not sure and only suggested that Mu Pingjiang ask her indirectly while her mental state was stable.
Mu Pingjiang had no choice but to follow the doctor's advice and, without upsetting Mulanzhi, it took him several months to finally figure out the matter of the child.
He was unwilling to believe that Mulanzhi was married and had children in the countryside, so he could only settle her down and then go to the place she said.
Then there he saw Liang Jinheng, who was still an infant, and Liang De.
The moment he saw Liang De and the child, he was so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
The girl he had protected for more than 20 years married another man.
But besides the heartache, Mu Pingjiang hated himself more.
He hated himself for not being able to protect her, causing her to flee to the countryside and hastily marry a man she had known for less than a year.
Afterwards, Mu Pingjiang revealed his identity to Liang De and asked him about Mulanzhi, especially why Mulanzhi left alone and was in such a bad condition at the time.
The answer Liang De told him at that time was that Mulanzhi didn't like him, looked down on him, felt that she couldn't live with him, so she left.
Mu Pingjiang did not doubt the truthfulness of Liang De's words at that time.
Because he knew Mulanzhi, she would never like a man like Liang De.
So it is really possible that she would leave because she couldn't get along with Liang De.
But it's her child, there's no way she would leave him.
However, Liang De's explanation for this was that Mulanzhi hated him so much that she didn't even want to see their child, so she left alone in the end.
He believed this back then. Only after he confirmed again and again that Liang De had accepted this fact and would not go looking for Mulanzhi did Mu Pingjiang leave.
But after hearing what Wen Wan just said, Mu Pingjiang realized how stupid he was back then!
He was completely deceived by Liang De!
Seeing that Mulanzhi was still looking at him in confusion, waiting for his final explanation, why he had not told her about this all these years.
Mu Pingjiang looked hesitant, but finally confided his feelings to her and apologized.
"I'm sorry, Lanzhi. I admit that I have selfish motives. I don't want you to remember all this. I don't want you to know that you still have a child..."
After he returned from Liang De's place, he saw that Mulanzhi's memory of the days in the countryside seemed to be getting fainter and fainter, so he chose to bury these things completely in his heart against his conscience and never mentioned them in front of Mulanzhi again.
After that, he got married, had children, and lived an ordinary life with his family as they had agreed before.
As for the other child Liang Jinheng who was thousands of miles away, he would occasionally think about how that child was doing after so many years.
Also, is he going to tell Mulanzhi about this?
However, looking at his happy and stable wife and two children, he finally chose to swallow his words.
"I did intentionally hide this from you. If you want to scold me, go ahead and hit me."
Mulanzhi stood there, looking at Mu Pingjiang, biting her lips tightly, her eyes red.
How could she have the right to scold or beat him?
She had always seen how good he had been to her over the years, and she knew that all his intentions were for her own good.
Also, it was she who had agreed to get married, but it was also she who betrayed him and had a marriage with another man.
How could she have the guts to blame him?
But Mulanzhi still felt uncomfortable when she thought that Mu Pingjiang had countless opportunities to tell her about Liang Jinheng's existence over the years, but he never said it.
She turned her head and whispered, "Let's all calm down for a moment."
Her mind is too confused now and she can't digest so many things.
"Lanzhi..." Mu Pingjiang looked at her worriedly.
Mu Qingsong was trying to persuade this person but it didn't work, and he was scratching his head in frustration.
Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng were even more reluctant to speak up and persuade them easily.
Mulanzhi walked up to the two of them and forced a smile.
"I'll go check on those three little guys."
After saying that, he walked past Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng and entered the house.
The yard was too messy just now, so Wen Wan brought Doudou into the house and let him stay with Da Wa and Er Niu.
Wen Wan knew that Mulanzhi was not really going to see the child, but really wanted to find a place to sort out her emotions, so she said nothing and just nodded.
Now, only Mu Pingjiang and his father and Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng were left in the yard.
Even Old Man Liang was brought back into the house by Liang Jinbu and Miao Chunhong at some point, and the door was locked again.
Mu Pingjiang looked at the door of Wen Wan's house. After watching Mulanzhi go in, he retracted his gaze and turned to look at Liang Jinheng.
"Comrade Liang Jinheng, although I have concealed some things from Lanzhi over the years, I think you can understand me. If your wife had been married to another man, you would not bring it up again, right?"
Liang Jinheng met his gaze and retorted without fear.
"No, if my wife had really been married before, not only would I not deliberately hide this from her, I would also tell her the truth when she loses her memory."
Mu Pingjiang was stunned, as if he didn't expect Liang Jinheng to say that.
Although he just took a quick glance at the way Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng got along, he could tell that Liang Jinheng must love his wife very much.
Because of the way he stood, he would subconsciously block Wen Wan behind him.
This is an unconscious protective action.
That's why he thought Liang Jinheng would put his wife first, just like him.
Liang Jinheng saw his surprise and his voice suddenly became very firm.
"Only by letting her know what happened in the past will she understand how wrong the choices she made were. And I am the best destination for her in this life!"
Wen Wan: “….”
When she heard this, she was so embarrassed that she almost wanted to crawl into the ground.
What on earth is Liang Jinheng talking about? He is still bragging at this time!
She felt embarrassed, but Mu Pingjiang opposite her showed a look of surprise.
He admired Liang Jinheng's confidence.
Now it seems that he is indeed not as confident as Liang Jinheng.
"You're right. Maybe I should have been braver and told her the truth." Mu Pingjiang suddenly sighed heavily.
But it's too late to say that now.
What he should be thinking about now is how to make Mulanzhi forgive him.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Mu Qingsong beside him and said, "I'll go back to town first. I'll ask Xiao Li to drive the car over to you later."
"Ah? Dad, you're leaving now?" Mu Qingsong was puzzled.
Mu Pingjiang looked at the closed door of Wen Wan and the others' room again, his tone helpless.
"Your mother definitely doesn't want to see me right now. Let her calm down. I have some things to do and I'll leave first. I'll bring your sister here in a couple of days."
The Chinese New Year is just two days away.
Judging from the situation this year, their family probably doesn’t want to spend the New Year at home happily.
After all, Mulanzhi should feel sorry for Liang Jinheng now and want to stay here and spend the New Year with him.
Mu Qingsong had no choice but to remain silent after hearing this. He watched his father leave, then looked at Liang Jinheng and Wen Wan awkwardly, and called out again: "Brother, sister-in-law..."
To be honest, Wen Wan also felt quite embarrassed. Although Mu Qingsong was indeed Liang Jinheng's younger brother, they had only met once or twice.
"Have you had breakfast? Are you hungry? Do you want something else?"
Mu Qingsong quickly waved his hand, "I'll go in and see my mother first!"
After saying that, he ran into the house.
Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng were left standing in the yard.
She asked Liang Jinheng: "What should we do now? Do you want to go in?"
Liang Jinheng shook his head.
"Let's not go in. Let them talk."
The "they" here refer to Mu Qingsong and Mu Lanzhi.
Mu Qingsong must have gone to tell her about Mu Pingjiang's departure.
He didn't want to get involved in their family's affairs.
After hearing this, Wen Wan stopped trying to persuade him and stood outside with him for a while. She only went in after making sure that Mu Qingsong and Mu Lanzhi had finished talking.
