Hearing that, Jiang Yingying"s face froze. How did she mean that?"Father, are we not investigating and are we just going to decide Shan Er"s crime so recklessly? This is unfair to Shan Er. "
Where had her husband gone to? How could he not be present when faced with important matters?
By the time he returned, his precious son would already be punished. By then, no matter how much he said, it would be useless.
Old Man Liu shot a glance at Jiang Yingying, and then looked at Liu Zhishan, and asked him if he thought the same way.
Liu Zhishan raised his head and quickly glanced at Old Man Liu. In his heart, he felt that his grandfather was very biased, only, when the words were about to reach his mouth, he didn"t dare to speak the truth about Old Man Liu so he vaguely.
He was very afraid of his grandfather, afraid of being punished by him. Every time his grandfather punished him, he would not show any mercy.
After Old Man Liu heard these words, he gave a deep glance at Liu Zhishan. This time, he was thoroughly disappointed in Liu Zhishan.
He truly felt that Liu Zhishan was not like the descendants of the Liu Family, who did not have a single trace of the Liu Family on him.
"Then you think that you are not satisfied with the decision I have made? Don"t give me a vague answer, answer me loudly and loudly, yes or no. "
Old Man Liu was so scared that his body trembled when he heard Old Man Liu"s roar, and he subconsciously answered yes.
The moment he finished answering, he regretted it.
How could he say yes? This time, his grandfather must have punished him even more severely.
"Very good." Old Man Liu laughed, his eyes swept across everyone around him, and said slowly: "Then what kind of punishment do you want?"
"Father …"
"Shut up …" Old Man Liu interrupted Jiang Yingying with a dark expression, he did not want to hear her speak at all, "If you can find other witnesses, go ahead and call them. If not, then shut up and do not interrupt me."
Jiang Yingying"s face alternated between red and white when she heard Old Man Liu"s words. She never thought that his father would not give her any face in front of so many people.
After that, how could she put on the airs of an elder sister-in-law like that?
Even though Jiang Yingying was very unhappy with Old Man Liu, she did not dare to call him Xuan.
She had a feeling that if she protested to her father-in-law, he might ask her husband to divorce her.
As long as there were still mountains, he would not have to worry about not having enough firewood to burn. This time, he could bear with it for the time being.
After waiting for a while, when he did not hear Jiang Yingying refute him, Old Man Liu nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Liu Zhishan and asked him again, what kind of punishment did he want?
Liu Zhishan swallowed his saliva with great difficulty as he shook his head to say that he didn"t know.
To him, the lighter the punishment, the better. But when he saw the expression on his grandfather"s face, his words were choked in his throat, unable to be spat out.
"Alright, since you can"t say it yourself, then I"ll decide it for you." Old Man Liu looked at Liu Zhishan calmly, and said word by word, "For your own good, I will have someone send you to your brother"s side to learn, learn how to be a responsible and responsible member of the Liu Family."
What? Send him to his elder brother to study? Didn"t that mean he was going to the front?
Liu Zhishan"s face paled, he knew what he was capable of, with his level of skill, he would only end up as cannon fodder on the front lines.
He was still so young, he really didn"t want to die.
"No, I don"t agree. Father, if you were to change the punishment, I would definitely not agree to let Shan Er pa.s.s the border trials." Jiang Yingying could not help but jump out and protest loudly, "Father, it"s not like you do not know of Shan Er"s capabilities, letting him go to war is equivalent to sending him to her death!" After saying that, Jiang Yingying couldn"t hold back and began to cry. She really couldn"t hold it in any longer, no matter what face she had, it wouldn"t be as important as her son"s life.
She didn"t expect her father-in-law to be so heartless as to send her son directly to the border, which was where Yama Minamiya was in charge. How could she let her son go?
Although this was the truth, Liu Zhishan still felt that it was very embarra.s.sing for his mother to directly say it out loud.
He lowered his head, clenching his hand into a fist. He felt embarra.s.sed to look into the eyes of others, afraid that others would look down on him.
"Shan Er, do you think so as well? "Hmm?" Old Man Liu didn"t pay any attention to Jiang Yingying, and directly looked at Liu Zhishan, wanting to hear what he had said.
Silence … Liu Zhishan was silent, he did not know how to reply to his grandfather"s words.
If that wasn"t what he was thinking, then his grandfather would definitely send him to the border without a word. If that was what he was thinking, then wouldn"t that mean he admitted that he was a weakling?
Both ideas put him in a difficult position.
"Say, is it or isn"t it so hard to answer? "Hmm?" Old Man Liu didn"t want Liu Zhishan to retreat. Step by step, he forced him to say it on the spot.
"I …"
"Father, this …" Right at this moment, Liu Wenjie returned. The moment he entered the room and saw Old Man Liu"s gloomy expression, his heart skipped a beat.
The servant hurriedly went to look for him. After giving him a general idea of the situation, he wasn"t too clear on the specifics.
There was no other way. He could only hurry back and see what was going on. How did Shan Er come into conflict with Liu Zhimo?
As soon as he entered, he felt that things were not as simple as he had thought.
"Husband, you"re finally back. If you don"t, father will send Shan Er to her death." When Jiang Yingying saw Liu Wenjie, he was slightly relieved. Her husband had returned, and Shan Er was saved.
Liu Wenjie snapped at Jiang Yingying, telling her not to spout nonsense.
No matter what, Shan Er was his father"s biological grandson, how could his father send Shan Er to his death?
Jiang Yingying wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, and said with dissatisfaction: "What nonsense is this? Father wants to send Shan Er to the side to lock Hao Er up, isn"t this just sending him to his death? " If the relationship between Liu Zhihao and him was good, then it was fine, but Liu Zhihao didn"t feel that Shan Er was his little brother at all, so how could protect him? If she did not kill Shan Er with her own hands, she would be the Amitabha.
Hearing that, Liu Wenjie looked at Old Man Liu in shock, and asked stutteringly, what exactly happened here? To send Shan Er to the border trial was that serious?
He knew his youngest son very well. He didn"t even have the ability to protect his life, so how could he go to the border? He suspected that if he didn"t get to the border, he would die on the road.
No way, he wouldn"t agree with his father"s way of doing things.
Old Man Liu snorted, looked at Liu Zhishan and asked: "Shan Er, what happened earlier? Tell your father everything. Remember, I don"t want to hear another lie. " He would just give Liu Zhishan another chance. If he didn"t take good care of it, there was nothing he could do.
Liu Zhishan lowered his eyelids, and grinded his teeth. Was he really going to overturn what he had just said?
If he were to overthrow it, it would truly be a loss of face.
However, if he did not overthrow it, he would face the fate of being sent to the border.
How should he choose? Overthrow or not overthrow?
All of a sudden, he felt that it was really hard to choose. He wanted to overthrow it, but he didn"t want to.
Old Man Liu was not anxious, he raised his teacup and drank his tea, patiently waiting for Liu Zhishan"s answer.
He was not anxious, but Liu Wenjie was anxious, and kept on asking what was going on with Liu Zhishan? Hurry up and tell him?
In the end, it was his small life that occupied the upper echelons. With a pale face, Liu Zhishan recounted what had happened earlier to them.
What he said again was basically the same as what the servants said.
When Jiang Yingying heard it, she could not help but walk forward, and push Liu Zhishan a bit. She frowned: "Shan Er, what are you talking about? You don"t have to be afraid. With your mother here, she definitely won"t let you go to the border, so just tell her the truth. " Wasn"t what her son said just a slap in the face?
He really was …
"Go sit at the side, don"t disturb Shan Er"s thoughts." Liu Wenjie pulled Jiang Yingying away, preventing her from causing trouble here.
Jiang Yingying flung Liu Wenjie"s hand away and said with an ashen face: "Look, look. Shan Er is so scared that he doesn"t dare speak the truth. How did you become a father? Just let his son be bullied? "Huh?" She was really too dissatisfied with Liu Wenjie. He didn"t know how to protect his son at all, so even if his son was bullied, he would still be indifferent to it.
"Jiang Yingying, shut up!" Hearing Jiang Yingying"s words, Liu Wenjie"s face darkened. What did she mean by that? Was he accusing his father of bullying his son? Even so, she couldn"t say it out loud. It was very unfilial to contradict an elder. "If you don"t control your emotions, then go back to the courtyard. Don"t embarra.s.s yourself here."
Jiang Yingying gasped for breath in anger, it was just that she had not solved her son"s problem, she definitely could not leave, if she were to leave, who would protect her precious son? Liu Wenjie was not her hope.
"Alright, alright. I want to see who dares to touch my son."
She angrily walked to her chair and sat down. She picked up her teacup and drank a cup of tea before slightly extinguishing the anger in her heart.
Liu Wenjie secretly sighed in his heart, then looked at Old Man Liu again. "Father, the border trials are so dangerous, Shan Er is still young, it"s not appropriate to go there. Please change the punishment!"
This time, even if he were to go against his father to the end, he couldn"t just let his son die without doing anything.
"Still young? How old is your eldest son? How old are you to go to the front? As your father, do you still remember? " Old Man Liu retorted with a cold face, and didn"t wait for Liu Wenjie"s reply before saying, "Hao Er went to the hotel when she was thirteen, and went to the front line when she was fourteen. At that time, why didn"t you say that he was young? Why didn"t you stop him from going? " He was truly speechless towards his eldest son. She said that this old man was biased, but as his father, wasn"t he biased as well?
His youngest son"s life was his life, but was his eldest son"s life not his life?
If not for his constant admonishment to Hao Er, Hao Er would have long since not acknowledged his eldest son as his father.
