Li Peilian shook her hand off and said angrily, "The police have been investigating for so long, and the evidence is irrefutable. How could they have wrongly accused him?"
She widened her eyes and stared at Yang Lanhua, her tone full of hatred.
"Do you know? The things your precious son did not only implicate Xiuxiu and me. Even my parents will be implicated by him. You actually asked my parents to save him. How dare you say that?"
After hearing what Li Peilian said, Yang Lanhua looked at her blankly, her face full of disbelief.
Seeing her turn around and leave, he grabbed her and screamed, "Old Third's wife, what do you mean by this? Are you not going to take care of Old Third anymore?"
"Get out of here. Why should I care about a man like this? Not only will I not care, I will also divorce him and cut off all ties with him."
Li Peilian pushed Yang Lanhua hard, and seeing her fall to the ground, she ignored her and rode away on her bicycle.
Yang Lanhua sat on the ground and cried loudly, while Han Baoguo squatted beside her with his head in his hands, looking pitiful.
Han Zhenhua sighed and helped the two of them up, "Dad, Mom, let's go back."
"No, you can't go back. You must save your third brother."
Yang Lanhua cried and said, "Old man, let's go kowtow to the police comrades, kneel down in front of them, and beg them to release our third child..."
Han Zhenhua was so angry that he stared at his mother and shouted:
"Mom, what kind of place do you think this is? You can't make a scene here. Han Zhenmin did something like that. Even if you smash your head, they won't let him go."
Yang Lanhua's crying stopped abruptly, and Yang Baoguo stood up. His eyes were red, and he seemed to have aged several years.
"Old Two is right. It's useless for us to make a scene here. Let's go back first."
Yang Lanhua was now at a loss. After hearing what her son and husband said, she said she could get up from the ground and followed them back to the village.
Han Zhenhua looked at his parents whose eyes were red from crying and sighed heavily.
I don’t know when this family became like this.
He still remembers that when he was a child, although his family was not rich, it was still warm.
My father is honest and loyal, and my mother is virtuous and good at managing the household, so we live a life that is not as good as others but better than most.
My half brother is not close to the family, but he is not too nosy and is often not at home.
Sometimes when he comes back to stay for a few days, he just goes back to his room after eating and doesn't care about anything at home.
But when did it start to change? Was it after the separation from the boss?
No, that's not right, Han Zhenhua shook his head. It should be the third child who starts going to high school, gets a job, and marries a wife from the city.
After seeing the world in the city, the third brother began to look down on the countryside and wanted to be a city dweller.
It was also from that time that the third child began to make endless demands on his family. He took advantage of his parents' love for him and wanted to squeeze the family dry.
When Han Zhenhua thought about this, the little affection he had for his third brother disappeared.
Therefore, when Yang Lanhua proposed to find a way to save Han Zhenmin, Han Zhenhua refused on the spot.
"Dad, Mom, I just asked a police officer, and he said that my third brother provided a lot of clues to the human traffickers. The circumstances are very serious, and he will definitely be sentenced. You should just give up on this idea."
Yang Lanhua was so angry after hearing his heartless and ungrateful words that she punched him on the back a few times, crying and cursing, "Second Brother, how can you be so cruel? He's your own brother, are you just going to watch him go to jail? Do you have any humanity left?"
Han Zhenhua sneered, "I am cruel? I have no humanity? Mom, when did Han Zhenmin treat me as his second brother? Every time he came back, he would bring a lot of bags to the city. Did I say a word?"
He looked at Han Baoguo and Yang Lanhua, and said mercilessly: "Dad, Mom, and you, how much money have you spent on him over the years, but what about him? After working for so many years, has he ever bought you a piece of clothing or weighed a pound of snacks? Even if this incident hadn't happened, do you think you can count on him to provide for you in your old age?"
Yang Lanhua was speechless after being rebuked by her son. She opened her mouth but found that she had nothing to refute.
She wiped her tears and choked up, "Second Brother, what the Third Brother did was wrong, but we can't just ignore him, right?"
"Mom, how do you think we should manage it? When he was harming other people, didn't he ever think that this day would come?" Han Zhenhua was afraid that his parents wouldn't listen, so he sternly warned them.
"Mom and Dad, if you still have money, keep it for your retirement. Don't bother with it anymore. It's useless. I don't have much skills. I can only farm in the countryside. When you can't move, I can provide you with food and clothing. I can't give you more, so don't count on me."
Han Baoguo was smoking a pipe. After hearing what his second son said, he looked up at him.
I didn’t expect that the usually taciturn second brother would be so talkative today.
Han Baoguo took another puff of cigarette and his mind became clearer. He knew that Lao Er was right.
The third child can no longer be relied upon. Although the eldest child has a formal job, it is impossible to rely on him for support in old age.
Although the second son was not very capable, he was quite strong. When he and his wife got older, they would probably have to rely on this son.
Han Baoguo thought it through and made a decision in his mind.
He said to Han Zhenhua: "Second brother, you are right. Third brother has made such a big mistake. It is not for us to interfere. Our family does not have the conditions to help him. Let him be."
Yang Lanhua didn't care after hearing what the old man said. She stared at him in shock, "His father, how can you say such things? That's our San'er."
Seeing that the old woman was still stubborn, Han Baoguo asked her, "Then what do you think we should do? Zhenmin committed such a crime. Do you think the police will release him just by crying a few times?"
