The child has been settled down.
It was at this ti that Mr. i called over his two sons and explained the situation with the child.
i Shuqing and Liang Qian currently have major disagreents with the eldest and father’s actions. They haven’t visited the old house much in the past six months.
What the old man said today had long shattered their views; they could even do sothing like hiding a child away.
i Shuqing didn’t really agree with their actions. Originally, after hearing about it from Xiao Wan last ti, both he and his wife ignored the eldest family’s business. The matter of them having a child shouldn’t have been procrastinated for long. Unexpectedly, they truly had the skill to keep it hidden for such a long ti before being discovered.
Originally, he didn’t want to get involved in the eldest family’s business; they could ss around however they wished. Unexpectedly, today his father called him over, and actually spoke about this matter: the child was found, yet they still wanted to hide him. Truly doesn’t understand what they’re thinking. "Covering it up inevitably lets so light through, and in the end, it’s yourself who’ll lose face. When a man makes a mistake, just admit it openly; a mistake is a mistake. If you can’t be a soldier, then do sothing else. A man should be able to handle any kind of work. With the reforms, the spring breeze has reached all households. There are many ways to get rich. Be brave enough to admit your mistakes. Recognize them and change. Live well afterward. If you get sowhere in life, others will still think highly of you."
"Uncle, from childhood till now, I’ve always been in the departnt. In the team mixing, apart from being a soldier, I can’t do anything. If word gets out and I can’t be a soldier, won’t I be just a waste?"
"From childhood till now, mixed in the military, but haven’t seen you distinguish yourself. You’ve only mixed and regressed. Without the family’s help, you wouldn’t even beco a company commander." i Shuqing’s words were blunt and piercing, causing displeasure among the i family, especially i Shuping and his wife.
"Second brother, after all, Xiao Chi is your nephew. Saying such things really hits him too hard, doesn’t it?" Xie Lingzhi didn’t fear i Shuqing and retorted directly, "Our family has the ans, why can’t we help and let the child struggle less for a few years? You talk about my son as if he’s worthless. I refuse to believe you never paved a path for your son."
"Saozi, you missed the mark this ti. My Shuqing hasn’t uttered a single good word for my son in the army. My son’s achievents today are all earned by himself. Though we’re all i family, truth be told, the difference is vast. You better pay attention; educate well or you’ll be the one worrying about having no successors." Liang Qian wouldn’t tolerate Xie Lingzhi’s words and responded.
"Liang Qian, what are you saying? Does this an the i family relies solely on your son, and we’re supposedly useless, having achieved nothing? In the future, the i family should all belong to the second brother’s family!" i Shuping felt uncomfortable hearing his sister-in-law’s comnt.
"Older brother, I didn’t say such things... I’m just reminding you all that children need proper guidance from adults to beco good seedlings. If a child makes a mistake, as parents, you should help correct and educate them, not indulge them. Otherwise, the child will be ruined."
"Liang Qian, you’re going around in circles just to implicitly criticize my child. What’s your intention? Let tell you, as long as Langchi is here, there’ll be no matter for Junzi in the residence here. Don’t go saring people. The two elders are still alive."
"Ha, saoz was nervous, right? I was only speaking about correcting a child’s mistake, when did it switch to the ancestral residence? Speaking of family affairs, we’ve been on the move since getting married until now, moving here and there. Finally, we’ve stayed in S City for decades. In tough tis, we’ve never asked our parents for money, and in prosperous tis, we haven’t forgotten the two elders. Over the years, all I’ve done is contribute to this ho, haven’t seen this family, do anything for , nor my child. Of course, I’m not a person who counts every cent. We don’t fancy this residence, so you don’t have to be nervous."
"Aunt, Langchi, rest assured, I don’t care about the old house," i Lang Jun, sitting aside upon entering the room, listened to these ridiculous affairs indifferently. Sohow, the conversation shifted to the old house. Hearing his aunt’s comnt, i Lang Jun scoffed.
"Oh... right, I actually forgot. Older brother has a son out there. Whether or not he’ll compete with Xiao Chi is uncertain."
"Liang Qian, say that to again," said Xie Lingzhi furiously when hearing about i Shuping’s illegitimate son outside. Liang Qian was obviously deliberate.
"Alright, all of you stop yelling. We’re talking about Xiao Chi’s child now. What are you fighting over here?" Mr. i rapped his cane, scolded.
"Did I say anything wrong? Han Yi is the older brother’s son, right? All the family knows it. Haven’t seen any of you care much; since you’ve acknowledged him outside, why haven’t you gone to see the child, as elders? Show the respect he deserves? I was thinking it’s because of other reasons. Turns out you’re afraid he’ll compete with your son for property."
"Liang Qian, he’s an illegitimate child undeserving of respect. Can’t believe you’d personally invite him, giving him so much face. I’ll make it clear now, if you bring that child back, I’ll imdiately divorce i Shuping. I’ll take Xiao Chi away. If you cherish that bastard kid, cherish him all you want, as long as you’re not afraid others will laugh."
"Saozi, what do you an by ’illegitimate child’? When that child was born, you hadn’t even entered the i family."
"Liang Qian, you’re being intentional today, deliberately causing trouble, aren’t you? You need a lesson," said Xie Lingzhi as she slapped Liang Qian.
Everyone was caught off guard by the slap. The family hesitated for a few seconds before i Shuqing stood up furious, pulling his wife behind him. Liang Qian wasn’t the type to suffer loss. She swung away from i Shuqing’s grasp and reached toward Xie Lingzhi.
All that was heard was Xie Lingzhi’s scream, with several scratch marks already appearing on half her face.
"Ah... Liang Qian, you bitch, see if I don’t beat you to death!"
"Hit , if you don’t kill today, you might as well stop being a Xie!"
The two spoke, already wrestled together.
With both wives fighting, the n could only intervene to separate them.
Mr. i and Old Mrs. i watched the two wives angrily, but stomping and scolding were already ineffective. The two were seeing red by now.
i Lang Jun saw his mother getting pulled by Xie Lingzhi, worried about her suffering, he rushed forward to try and separate them.
In i Langchi’s view, i Lang Jun was about to hit his mother. He quickly ran out from Ye Qing’s side, and without any distinction between right or wrong, threw a punch at i Lang Jun.
i Lang Jun had long wanted to hit i Langchi. Now with the punch swinging his way, he had a reason. He imdiately countered and fought with i Langchi.
The i family turned into chaos, the noise directly spread outside. For a mont, neighbors nearby could hear everything clearly.
The i family, the eldest and the second started fighting. Initially, it was the two daughters-in-law fighting. Later the grandsons, and then the two sons.
i Shuqing and i Shuping fought because of Ye Qing. When she saw her mother-in-law and aunt fighting, felt it was her chance to showcase, she took advantage of Liang Qian’s unguarded mont, yanked her hair ferociously. The grip tore the scalp, and the hair held by Ye Qing was bloodied, causing a pang in i Shuqing’s heart. Furious instantly, he disregarded seniority and directly threw Ye Qing and Xie Lingzhi aside.
When i Shuping saw his brother had beaten his wife, he was unwilling. Directly started fighting with i Shuqing.
If it hadn’t been for Mr. i almost choking with anger, risking oxygen deprivation, they might have fought until dawn.
At this mont in the i family’s living room, not a single table and chair were intact, the room was a ss. The fight between the two i brothers beca the courtyard’s gossip.
i Shuqing wasn’t afraid of embarrassnt, the wounds on his wife’s head were the best excuse, two of his mothers-in-law combined to fight against his wife alone, as a husband, not retaliating would an he’s spineless.
The chaos between the i brothers lasted over a month, the children had work, i Langchi and i Lang Jun had already returned to the departnt.
Mr. i was in the hospital for over a month before returning ho. During this ti, i Langchi and Ye Qing had also been transferred to Z City.
On the day Lin Wan’s factory opened, the mayor of S City personally attended. Lin Wan specially invited Qin Lushe’s Chief and Uncle Hu from the departnt, and her brother-in-law, Wei Jian Country.
With big leaders attending, arrangents for als were essential. Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Liu were terribly busy. Today, even Huang Zhongguo and Qin Hong Bing ca to help them out. They’d only hired two people, both military wives from the courtyard.
The situation was special these days; prominent leaders were attending, necessitating a separate table.
Today, even Pidan and their three children ca to help peel vegetables.
