Xie Zhengchuan looked at the hesitant look of Dandan and glared at him.
"Didn't you see that your mother is so angry that she's talking nonsense? If you have anything else to say, just say it."
Dan's heart trembled slightly when his father said that. He opened his lips but said nothing.
Because of Xie Zhengchuan's light sigh, the dinner table suddenly became quiet. Jingyu was so scared that she almost spilled the bowl of soup she had just served. After putting the bowl on the table, she immediately buried her head in eating.
Su Li saw that Xie Zhengchuan was a bit fierce, so she reached out and patted him, then looked at Xiaodan and said, "It's okay, tell me, son. I've seen you've been worried all the way here, you'll feel better if you tell me."
Seeing his mother being so considerate, he felt even more guilty.
"Mom, I...I applied for the police academy, and because of my excellent academic performance, I was specially recruited, so I don't have to take the college entrance examination."
As soon as Dandan said this, Huzi and Shitou looked at him with envy, especially Huzi. He wanted to learn from Xie Zhengchuan, but he wanted to take one step at a time and tell his family when he officially took the college entrance examination. However, he didn't expect that his elder brother had done what he wanted to do first. If he went, he would not be able to pass the exam.
Hu Zi was a little anxious at the moment.
Su Li's head began to throb as she listened to what Dan said.
She had never interfered in her child's growth. Although she had donated a lot to the government and the army, had many veterans under her command, and the man around her was a policeman, she had never thought that one day her son would do such a thing.
One wanted to join the army, the other wanted to go to the police academy. They were both only eighteen years old, in the prime of their youth.
Su Li just wanted them to live a smooth and peaceful life. She had already divided the assets into equal shares for each of her children.
She did not hide this matter, and gradually transferred some shares, real estate and land to them over the years.
No matter what they do in the future, I can guarantee that they will have enough food and drink for the rest of their lives. Besides, the children are all very hardworking. Although they are very low-key in school, they are all excellent.
She was relieved to hand over her assets to them. She never thought that they would do such a thing to her at the age of falling in love.
"Damn, you've been so gentle since you were young. Ever since you were kidnapped as a child, I've been worried all these years. If it weren't for your training skills in the army, which even Grandpa Chen praised, I would definitely have sent you to the army for training. But training is training, and I just hope you can protect yourself. You know what you'll face when you go to the police academy. How many times have your father escaped death over the years? He thought I don't know because he kept it from me?"
Xie Zhengchuan looked at what his wife said and turned away with a guilty conscience. His wife was trying to warn him. Could it be that this kid was influenced by him?
If that happens, my wife might have to punish herself.
Su Li glanced at Xie Zhengchuan and continued, "Mom still hopes that you can take over the company. Even if you don't want to take on all the burdens, you can manage the companies and factories in the place where you are admitted to the university in the future."
With a bitter face, he said: "Mom, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Li raised her hand to interrupt him, "Mom hopes you can reconsider it. Being a policeman is very dangerous. Look at your younger brothers and sisters. They are still young and need you as the eldest brother to set an example. Think about it carefully."
Then he turned to Tiedan and said coldly, "You little bastard, you've grown wings. Mom has held you in her hands since you were young and loved you so much that she couldn't bear to hit you or scold you. But now that you've grown up, you make your own decisions. For such a big matter, you act first and ask for my permission later. When your dad left, you and Baoya were still so young, and you're the only boy in your family. If something happens to you, how are you going to explain to your parents in the future?"
Su Li started crying as she spoke, and it was unclear whether she was crying because she felt wronged or angry.
Su Li had always been gentle and kind to her family, especially to the children, and had never said a word. But now she started crying because of what Tiedan and Tiedan had said. This situation was really unexpected for everyone. Even Jingyu put down his bowl and stood up in a hurry.
"Mom, don't cry."
Tiedan and Duandan felt even more guilty. They almost fell to their knees as they looked at Su Li, who was crying. They surrounded Su Li helplessly and tried to comfort her.
"Mom, don't cry. We were wrong. If you don't want us to go, I, we, I..." Xiaodan stammered but still didn't say he didn't want to go.
Tiedan was even more persistent. Although he couldn't bear to see Su Li cry, joining the army had been his childhood dream. He knew his mother's love for him. When he was eighteen years old, Su Li bought him three houses, two factories, and three pieces of land in Shangjing and Haishi. He also had more than 700,000 yuan in savings. Who would believe it if he told others about it?
Not only him, but also Xiaodan has similar assets, but Xiaodan knows how to invest. He has been to Hai City to buy stocks before, and the stocks he bought have grown wildly. He made a lot of money, plus the money given by Su Li, it is almost four million.
Later, Su Li saw that he was interested, so she asked him to help buy some for the family. Even Jingyu, the most mischievous boy in the family, had more than 100,000 yuan in savings, but he didn't know about it, and he still helped his father with his homework all day to earn some pocket money.
"Mom, please don't cry. I kept it from you because I was afraid you wouldn't be able to let me go. I know I was wrong, but I really want to join the army. This is my dream. Mom, please support me."
Baoya was staring at her brother. She was very angry. How could she not know her brother's dream? But he should never have kept it secret from everyone in the family, especially his mother. Look how sad he made his mother now.
"Brother, can you please shut up and stop talking? Mom is already crying because of you, and you are still talking. You are so annoying."
After hearing what his sister said, Tiedan quickly closed his mouth, but he still looked at Su Li nervously.
Hu Zi and Shi Tou also looked at Su Li, especially Hu Zi. He felt like the sky had fallen and his dream was strangled in the cradle. It was really unbearable to make his mother cry.
Su Li raised her eyelids and looked at her children, then continued sobbing, "Dingdan, Tiedan, Mom is really too sad. I'm going to say this today. I don't agree with this, but you're all grown up now, and you have money in your hands. If you want to do something, I can't stop you. After all, I'm old, and my son doesn't even take me seriously. Okay, you guys eat, I'm going to my room."
Su Li stood up and staggered to the second floor. His back looked extremely lonely.
Xie Zhengchuan snorted, glanced at his children, and then walked up the stairs to chase after his heartbroken wife.
The children downstairs stared at each other. Baoya looked at her two brothers and said, "Hmph, eldest brother, second brother, you are so mean. Mom has been so tired for so many days and brought so many gifts. But you two couldn't tell me two days later? Why did you have to tell me today?"
Tiedan moved his lips and said, "It doesn't matter whether you say it earlier or later."
Tiedan sighed and walked out of the room. Tiedan picked up the coat on the chair and went out.
Baoya got angry when she saw their expressions. She snorted and turned to leave the room.
Shitou looked at Jingyu and the other two who had started eating again without knowing when, and quickly reached out and dragged them into the room, "It's already this late and you still remember to eat. Go to the room with your brother and think about how to make mom happy."
For a moment, Hu Zi was the only one left in the living room. He looked at the table full of leftovers and said to Shi Tou's back, "Why are they all gone? Who... who will wash the dishes?"
