Chapter 322: Chapter 226 Arrangement (Part 1)_3

"That’s because she’s stupid," Zhao Qiyan muttered under her breath, curling her lips.

"Qiyan, what did you say?" Old Master Zhao’s stern gaze shot towards Zhao Qiyan, "Louder, say it again."

Zhao Qiyan shrank her shoulders and dared not make another sound. She was still afraid of her grandfather.

"Second child!" Old Master Zhao turned towards Zhao Qifeng, "You’re a man, yet you can’t even control your wife and daughter. What else can you do?"

"Father..." Zhao Yufeng was full of shame, unable to find the right words.

"How did I end up with a son like you?" Old Master Zhao said, unable to help pushing Old Lady Zhao, "You tell me, how did we end up with such a son?"

"Enough, it’s a day of great joy, let’s not dwell on these grievances. We’ll resolve these matters when we return home. Right now, it’s about Chuxia’s situation..." Old Lady Zhao straightened up, "I’ll say it again, everyone in the Zhao family, live your lives honestly. If anyone dares to cause trouble for Chuxia, don’t blame this old woman for being ruthless!"

Lin Baojuan’s face turned unnatural.

Her son joining the army was something Chuxia’s son-in-law had agreed to. Would that count as causing trouble for Chuxia?

With that thought, she tugged at her son, who was still happily watching the excitement, "Dajiang..."

"Mom, what’s wrong?"

Luan Qingshu had already understood his wife’s implication and gave her a look, then pulled Luan Dajiang out of the hall. "Dad, what’s up?" Luan Dajiang scratched his head, looking confused.

"Dajiang, do you really want to join the army?" Luan Qingshu asked.

"Why not?" Luan Dajiang’s face instantly turned red, "Dad, I want to join the army, and you want it too. Why suddenly not?"

"Dajiang..." Luan Qingshu sighed, "Dad wants you to join, but, hearing Grandma Zhao say that, Dad thinks, Chuxia has it hard. Let’s not add to her troubles, okay?"

... Luan Dajiang hung his head and stayed silent. Knowing his son’s temperament, Luan Qingshu knew this was his way of showing protest by remaining silent. He sighed and said, "Dajiang, how could Dad not wish the best for you? But you’re not educated, and if you join the army, all you’ll do is grunt work. You’ll be back farming in no time. It’s not worth it!"

"Dad is worried about the work points!" Luan Dajiang asserted confidently.

"If that’s what you think of Dad, then believe that Dad is worried about the work points," Luan Qingshu said, gazing at the distant mountains, "When Dad was young, he also wanted to join the army, but your Grandma didn’t agree, so it didn’t happen."

"At that time, it was tough on Dad, but now that I think about it, if Dad had joined the army, there would be no mom, no you... Dad thinks it’s good for the whole family to be together."

"Why would we not exist if Dad joined the army?" Luan Dajiang, hearing his father speak of this for the first time, asked curiously.

"Your Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin East were the ones who enlisted with Dad."

Luan Dajiang was at a loss for words. Uncle Lin and Uncle Lin East, one had lost an arm, the other a leg, both injured by explosives while building roads during their military service.

"If you’re uneducated, you only get to do the rough and hard tasks..." Luan Qingshu sighed again, "If you don’t do the hard work, you would need to use connections, which wouldn’t be good for Chuxia. Dajiang, listen to Dad, Dad won’t harm you."

"Mhm." Luan Dajiang nodded, "I’ll tell my brother-in-law that I won’t join the army. I’ll stay home and farm."

"Good son." Luan Qingshu put his arm around his shoulder and patted it, "Dad knew you were sensible."

When the father and son returned to the hall, Lin Baojuan eyed them, clearly anxious. She feared her son and husband would argue. She thought about going outside, but it didn’t seem right for the whole family to hide away. She was burning with anxiety in that short time.

"Mom, I won’t join the army," Luan Dajiang declared.

Lin Baojuan sighed softly and said nothing.

She didn’t want her son to be a burden to her niece, but hearing her son say it like this made her heart hurt. Whether it’s the palm or the back, both sides of the hand are flesh; she was really in a tough position.

At this point, the quarrels at Zhao’s house had already subsided. Zhao Qiyan sat curled up next to Lin Xiaohua, her face dark.

Just when the atmosphere in the room had become unbearably oppressive, the sound of a car parking was heard outside. Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan instantly stood up, and then Chuxia and Zhou Mikang entered the courtyard.

"Father, Mother, I’m sorry we ran into some issues," Zhou Mikang apologized to the elders, then greeted everyone else before saying, "I’m really sorry for being late. Something came up at home."

As he spoke, Zhou Hanliang walked in.

Zhou Mikang pointed to him and said, "I couldn’t get away today, so Hanliang will accompany everyone for a visit. This afternoon, he will see everyone back home."
