"Have you forgotten that you have a grown son suffering out there?"
"A leader, my foot! With your indecisive nature, you'd be eating shit before it's even warm!"
Su Yi's face flushed red. "You, you, you're simply... utterly vulgar..."
Li Yueniang's face turned cold. "I'm here talking to you about our son, why are you spouting such vulgar and elegant nonsense? I'm just asking you, when will Changqing and Weihua be back?"
"How would I know? They had different positions, back then..."
I'm so annoyed by that old man.
Li Yueniang slammed her hand on the table, and the teacup on the table bounced up with a loud bang.
Su Yi was startled and instinctively backed away.
Li Yueniang stiffened her neck and said, "You know I'm vulgar and uncultured, so why do you keep talking to me about all that nonsense?"
"What's wrong? Do you want to eat a brick?"
"Just tell me directly, when are Changqing and Weihua coming back?!"
Su Yi looked at the unreasonable old woman, and his head started to ache again. Not long ago, he was almost driven to death by Qin Xiangxiang, who was on medical parole.
After she finally recovered and went back to prison, he finally had a period of peace and quiet. But then the old woman started causing trouble again.
"I already told you, there's a process involved, you have to write all sorts of documents, and then submit them to the Party, which will review them..."
"Shouldn't we take it one step at a time? You can't just come back whenever you want, can you?"
Li Yueniang stood up and spat in Su Yi's face.
Don't think she doesn't know that the Tang and Li families don't have as much influence in the military as Su Yi.
Although Su Yi's abilities were limited, his loyalty to the Party far exceeded the expectations of his superiors. Even when he was reported and locked in a dark room to write materials, he was able to get out easily.
At that time, out of 100 people who went in, 99 wouldn't come out, but he did, which is enough to prove that he was highly trusted by his superiors in terms of his position.
"Don't think I don't know you've been working hard for Qin Xiangxiang all this time."
Li Yueniang pointed at him and berated him, "You don't care about me, Changqing, at all. I, Changqing, am really unlucky to have a father like you. I get no benefits and only suffer all the bad things."
"Qin Xiangxiang is asking for it. She's going to riot in prison. Why should you care if she dies? Why bother trying to pull strings for her? If she wants to go to jail, let her go. It's her own fault that her record has a stain."
“My Changqing is honest and hardworking, and he’s been suffering outside all this time. You’re not willing to use your connections on him.”
"You shameless old man, half-buried in the ground, you don't use your connections on your son, but instead squander them all on that woman who courted death..."
Su Yi was bombarded with a barrage of insults. He opened his mouth to explain, but couldn't get a word in edgewise.
"Su Yi, put your hand on your heart and tell me, you're letting me, Changqing, suffer outside just so your children can have a bright future. How can you be so heartless?"
"Am I, Changqing, so worthless in your heart?"
"No, listen to me, I didn't disregard Changqing. There's a priority to everything, and this matter with Changqing can't be rushed."
Li Yueniang stood up abruptly, put her hands on her hips, and shouted, "Don't think I don't know! Everyone in the compound told me that you took tea to Hu Renbang's house a while ago."
"Everyone has already told me that Hu Renbang is a high-ranking leader, his family has a certain influence in the police force, and his brother works for the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, so he can speak on the 'Liberation Order'. Previously, the Hu family even used your connections to get several of their children into the army."
"Are you planning to use the favor you owe the Hu family on Qin Xiangxiang?"
"Su Yi, let me tell you, if you dare to do this, I'll fight you to the death. Anyway, Changqing will suffer whether you're here or not. Having you as his father is useless; he'll still suffer."
Su Yi was taken aback by Li Yueniang's words. "Who told you that?"
"How come I didn't know Hu Renbang had a brother in the Organization Department of the Central Committee? Besides, the Organization Department was only recently established. Who told you that?"
Of course it was Wang Fang. She knew that Su Yi had come here specifically to explain the situation of the Hu family to her after he had been working hard for Qin Xiangxiang. But Li Yueniang definitely couldn't tell Su Yi.
"It doesn't matter how I know this. Just tell me, is this method available for both Changqing and his wife?"
Su Yi patiently explained the importance and urgency of the matter to Li Yueniang.
"Sister, don't panic, listen to me."
"The Organization Department of the Central Committee has been established here now. Even if we don't use personal connections, Changqing will be able to come back soon."
"But you know what happened to Xiangxiang this time. She deliberately caused trouble in the detention center and was falsely accused by someone. Now she has recovered after a few months of recuperation, and there is really no reason for her to stay in the hospital."
“If this matter isn’t resolved, she won’t just be going back to the detention center; she’ll be serving six months in the women’s prison down there!”
Li Yueniang rolled her eyes. "It's only half a year. Besides, she's already been hiding in the hospital for almost four months. Even if it's half a year, she'll only be gone for two months before coming out. If you ask me, her personality needs to be tempered."
“Look, you don’t need to worry about her. She’ll come out on her own in two months. You might as well use the favor the Hu family has done for Changqing.”
"He's been gone for over two years now. Although he's not on the farm anymore, he spent almost a year there. I heard that place is even more terrifying than prison. I wonder how my Changqing is doing..."
"Sigh, this child is so filial; he always reports good news and never bad."
Su Yi wanted to explain further, "I know what you're saying. I'm just worried about affecting Chang'an and Meifang. They're innocent. We can't ruin their future just because of their mother, can we?"
"Besides, Xiangxiang was able to get in because of you. If their records are tarnished because of Changqing, I'm afraid they'll harbor resentment and hold a grudge against Changqing in the future."
Li Yueniang glared and said, "Pah! You're worried they might have some grudges? When have they ever been without any grudges?"
That resentment has been there since childhood, are you blind to it?
In the end, it all comes down to having to consider those two siblings and sacrifice Changqing himself, right?
Li Yueniang was too lazy to speak, so she picked up the solid wood water ladle next to her and smashed it down on Su Yi's head.
"You biased old man, you're so biased you're practically a chicken coop! I, Changqing, must have had eight lifetimes of bad luck. What terrible things did I do in my past life to deserve such a wretched father like you in this one?"
"I'll fight you to the death... Aaaaaaaahh ...
After a chase, Su Yi, who had been beaten to a pulp, couldn't take it anymore. He clutched his head and screamed, "Ahhh~ Okay, okay, stop hitting me! My skull is cracked, I'm going to die! Can I give Changqing the Hu family's connections?"
