Chapter 490: Chapter 485: Going Back to Hometown Troublesome Matter 20 [Explosive Update 14]

——————

"You, you hit me?" Fan Fengshou wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, as well as the obvious pain in his abdomen, still unable to comprehend what had happened.

In his perception, his elder brother had always been suppressed by their mother, practically like a toothless paper tiger, only to be swung around by him!

But now, seeing his elder brother get angry and actually dare to hit him in front of their mother!

And the mother who always favored him, now collapsed on the ground, merely looking like a fool, didn’t even rush to shield him!

"Ah, ah~" It was Li Xiaochun who couldn’t bear this ’truth’, falling to the ground and weeping loudly, her tears flowing endlessly, "It’s a sin! It’s all retribution, all retribution!"

Fan Hongshan turned her gaze aside, seeing someone peeping from outside the door, she wiped her tears and closed the door first.

When Li Xiaochun thought about the elder sister-in-law she had hated for half her life, who was actually innocent, she realized there was never any ’stealing’ involved, but that Fan Fengshou had already known very realistically back then that following her would mean hardships, and he would rather be adopted into Uncle Fan’s family!

And the son she sacrificed her eldest son and second daughter to raise turned out to be the most heartless and cold-hearted, she could not bear this reality!

This was a greater blow than Fan Jiefang rebelling against her!

In a moment, she cried so much that she nearly fainted.

Seeing his heartbroken mother, Fan Jiefang had no mood to hit anyone anymore, he forcefully pushed Fan Fengshou away and glared at him:

"Fan Fengshou, do you think that without mother’s restraint, I will continue to tolerate you in everything? I tell you, Fan Fengshou, you dream if you think I will let you adopt my child!"

After Fan Jiefang roared at Fan Fengshou, he turned to the mother who had fallen helplessly, speaking in a chilling tone for the first time—

"Mother, I need to tell you one last time, I will never allow any child to be adopted by Fan Fengshou! If you don’t want to recognize me and Xiao Hong, then take it as my unfiliality, do whatever you like to me!

But one thing, you and Fan Fengshou, do not appear in front of Xiao Hong and the children again! Even if I can’t do anything to you, the Xie Family still has a Xie Jingchen! If you aren’t afraid of Xie Jingchen’s retaliation, go ahead and continue your mischief!"

"No, Jiefang, Jiefang, don’t go, tell me, did Fengshou really ask to be adopted?" Li Xiaochun was only focused on this ’truth’ upon hearing the word adoption again, not thinking of Xiao Xianzi but of the deed Fan Fengshou had done.

"...Mother, do you not know what kind of person the elder aunt is? Back then, it was Fan Fengshou himself, who cried and knelt down, begging the elder aunt to take him in! Uncle Fan and the elder aunt were so heartbroken over this matter that they both passed away from illness shortly one after another.

Because of that, elder sister and second sister have resented our family all these years and never returned once!"

Indeed, Uncle Fan had no sons, but the elder aunt had two daughters, both very obedient and filial, so Uncle Fan never thought about adopting a nephew.

Uncle Fan was a learned man himself, not bound by the old local customs.

He felt that wholeheartedly teaching his two daughters is no less intimate than adopting a brother’s child!

The elder aunt was gentle and a virtuous wife, who even thought about finding a concubine for Uncle Fan, but it was Uncle Fan who yelled at her, saying that the times had changed and bigamy isn’t allowed now!

Turning around, he did not expect that Fan Jiefang’s father would pass away from tuberculosis, Fan Fengshou was only a few years old then, he went to the elder aunt alone, knelt in front of her, expressing his wish to be adopted by Uncle Fan as a stepson.

That was a private communication between elder aunt and Fan Fengshou. Unexpectedly, Li Xiaochun reacted so violently, cursing the elder aunt who hadn’t even made a statement yet!

Thus, this matter was dropped unresolved.

His elder aunt, because of the incident, her health deteriorated over time, causing her two elder female cousins from Fan’s second branch to detest Fan Jiefang to death. After both the uncle and elder aunt passed away due to illness, they cut off all relations with Fan’s second branch.

Back then, because Li Xiaochun scolded too harshly, before the uncle took his elder aunt to leave, she secretly found Fan Jiefang and told him the original story. He, having only one day of leave, was in a hurry and wanted to educate his younger brother but simply had no time, thus he could only suppress this matter in the depths of his heart.

Unexpectedly, Fan Fengshou took advantage of the uncle’s family departure to act without fear.

When Fan Hongshan thought of the attitude her elder and second female cousins had towards her before and after, she came to understand why her previously amiable and kind female cousins suddenly changed their attitude towards their family!

It turned out the root cause was here.

"Ha, haha!" Li Xiaochun looked at Fan Fengshou and burst into a silly laugh, tears streaming down fiercely, making it impossible for Fan Hongshan to wipe them all away despite her efforts.

"Mom..." Seeing this expression on his mother, Fan Fengshou felt a chill in his heart, not knowing what to say for the moment.

Especially when he just tugged the corner of his mouth, he found the pain on his face overwhelming, and the guilt he had just felt was thrown away by the pain.

"Feng Shou, Feng Shou...I hate!" Li Xiaochun thought of that gentle and kind elder sister-in-law, how she had helped her most when she was of low birth!

The human heart is made of flesh; as her sister-in-law was good to her, her feelings for her sister-in-law gradually grew to the point of trusting her even more than her own husband!

The two sisters-in-law were as close as real sisters, so when the elder sister-in-law suggested adopting Feng Shou, it angered her, feeling as if her sister-in-law had betrayed their friendship!

As a result, the woman she had hated for more than a decade turned out to be just an innocent victim of Feng Shou’s schemes!

She was out of tears to cry!

Li Xiaochun deeply gazed at her younger son; as much as she resented him, she couldn’t lay a hand on him to punish, yet his sins were indelible!

"Hong Shan, it’s Mom who wronged you..." Regarding Fan Hongshan’s issue, her son knelt in front of her afterward confessing, since her daughter’s husband was wealthy and influential, she accepted even though it was his second marriage, and he didn’t allow her daughter to have children.

Thinking that having a wealthy and powerful son-in-law was better than her daughter marrying a commoner!

She was completely blinded by Fan Fengshou’s flattery, and now reflecting back, her daughter, only in her twenties, was living like a nun, all because of her own doing!

"Mom, stop talking!" Fan Hongshan turned her head aside, her eyes swollen with tears.

The heavy shackles of marriage were a profound pain in her heart. Although Fan Hongshan had come to accept it, how could she not harbor resentment towards her own mother and brother who had led her to such a plight?

But more than that, she remembered the words of her dying father, holding her hand and asking her to take care of their mother and brother!

After all, no matter what the future holds, she had to endure it.

"Okay, okay, I won’t say more, woo, Hong Shan you, come inside with Mom." Fan Hongshan’s red and tearful eyes finally brought Li Xiaochun back to her senses; she supported herself on her daughter’s shoulder, stood up with her help, and slowly entered the room she was sleeping in before.

Fan Fengshou didn’t know what his mother meant, but having been beaten twice by his older brother and now with his mother entering the inner room, he distanced himself carefully from his angrily looming elder brother.

Only then did he feel a bit relieved. Thinking of his brother’s uncle by marriage, he obviously knew that Rong Wei was a man of significant power; otherwise, how could his brother climb up the ranks so quickly!

Of course, what he didn’t know was that although Fan Jiefang was retired due to injury, his Combat Power wasn’t significantly affected by the injury.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have thought of having his uncle help him get into the police system!

So, in Fan Fengshou’s view, although there was a safe distance between the two, in Fan Jiefang’s eyes, it was negligible.
