Northeast Peng Family
Ever since Yao Yanfang committed suicide by drinking pesticide, the Peng family has become famous in the surrounding streets.
Although Commander Peng retired due to illness, his eldest son was the director of the Revolutionary Committee and he had many enemies.
Because of this incident, he and his son were reported. Not long after, his daughter and son-in-law also severed ties with him in the newspaper in order to avoid being implicated.
Although Commander Peng and his son were finally released, since Yao Yanfang's suicide was a fact, his son was demoted and his daughter-in-law lost her job because of this incident.
Commander Peng was even expelled from the army and lost the monthly pension he used to receive.
Without the pension subsidy, the family's life fell into a slump, and before long, his daughter-in-law dared to point at him and curse at him.
Commander Peng listened to his daughter-in-law's yelling and cursing, his heart filled with bitterness but he could not refute. The once majestic man could only endure it all silently.
One night, Mr. Peng quietly packed up some old clothes and prepared to leave this home. He didn't want to be a burden to his family anymore. He knew that if he left, maybe his daughter-in-law would be less angry and his son would be less stressed.
"Dad, where are you going?" When Boss Peng heard some noise at home, he got up to take a look. He just happened to see his father holding a package and preparing to leave home.
"Son, it's your father who is a burden to you. I plan to go back to my hometown to live. I will only be a burden to you if I stay here." Commander Peng had tears in his eyes. He was reluctant to leave home, but he also didn't want to see his son torn between him and his daughter-in-law.
After hearing what his father said, Peng Lao Da's eyes were red. He grabbed the hand of Master Peng and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? You worked so hard to raise me, and now my family is in trouble and I want to drive you away. Am I still a human being?"
Master Peng shook his head and said, "Son, Dad is a burden now. Staying here will only make your life more difficult."
Peng Laoda said firmly: "Dad, no matter what, our family must be together. I will talk to my wife. I still have a job and I have saved a lot of money. At most, we will have to live a harder life in the future."
At this time, the voice of Peng's daughter-in-law came from the room, "Dad, if you want to marry me, then do it quickly. If you hadn't insisted on marrying that woman Yao Yanfang home, how could we be like this now?"
"Yang Xiaodan, shut up. If you hadn't quarreled with Yao Yanfang every day, would she have been so depressed that she would have committed suicide?" Boss Peng was also angry. He could do anything about how Yang Xiaodan bullied Yao Yanfang before, but she couldn't bully her own father.
When Yang Xiaodan heard this, she rushed out of the house and yelled at Peng Lao Da: "Are you blaming me? I didn't agree to let that woman into the house in the first place. Look how much trouble she has brought."
Just as Boss Peng was about to retort, Commander Peng raised his hand to stop him. "Xiaodan, don't argue about the past. After I leave, you guys should live your life well." He turned around and was about to leave.
Boss Peng was extremely anxious. He could only hold his old father tightly to prevent him from leaving.
Seeing that Commander Peng was so sensible, Yang Xiaodan nodded with satisfaction. What was the point of a frail old man who couldn't help his family at all staying?
Seeing that Yang Xiaodan's attitude was becoming more and more unreasonable, Boss Peng couldn't help but get angry.
Just when Boss Peng was about to explode, there was a knock on the door.
Everyone was stunned. Who could it be at this late hour? Boss Peng let go of his hand and went to open the door, only to see several comrades from Xian standing at the door.
"Hello, we are from the Harbin Public Security Bureau. We have received a report that your Yang Xiaodan abused her mother-in-law and forced her to commit suicide."
Two police officers went straight to Yang Xiaodan. They had been investigating nearby for two days. They all said that Yang Xiaodan was very mean and had a bad attitude towards her biological mother-in-law and step-mother-in-law.
They happened to be investigating nearby tonight and rushed over when they heard a quarrel in Commander Peng's house.
