Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 230 She understands the pain of losing a son!
My mother said that my younger brother will inherit my stepfather's business in the future, and he will have a bright future and be her support.

Fang Manping has always believed this.

but now……

Suddenly, her younger brother was no longer her younger brother.

And her real brother, is he dead?

"Mom, don't be sad. There's nothing we can do about it. It's all those damned Japanese people's fault." Fang Manping comforted her distraught and crying mother.

But to Fang Wanrong, this was not a consolation.

She instantly raised her head, her face, though aged, still possessing a certain charm, streaked with tears, yet now she glared fiercely at Fang Manping, her eyes filled with malice.

"What do you mean?"

Do you know what it means for you to lose your younger brother?

"Do you think that just because your brother is gone, you can inherit the Sheng family business?"

"Tell me, have you always been jealous of your brother, and now that he's gone, are you happy?"

Fang Manping looked at her incredulously and said, "Mom, I've never thought of that before."

"Yes, you have. You must have been holding a grudge against me for favoring your brother for a long time. So, just like Sheng Zexi, you wish Arui would disappear. Yes, that must be it!"

When Fang Manping faced her mother's accusations, she felt a void in her heart.

She never expected that her biological mother would think of her this way.

She admitted that she used to sometimes feel envious and jealous of her younger brother's favoritism towards their mother.

But she never had the idea of ​​wanting her brother to disappear.

She was just thinking about how to better win her mother's attention and make her mother more satisfied.

So over the years, she has been working hard to become better.

One reason she wanted to marry Li Tingxuan was that she liked him, and another reason was that if she could become the matriarch of the Li family, she would definitely be outstanding enough in her mother's eyes, and her mother would be proud of her.

Upon learning of this today, she hurriedly asked for leave to go home, fearing that her mother would not be able to bear it, and rushed back to comfort her.

But she didn't expect to be questioned by her mother.

Facing her mother's gaze at this moment, Fang Manping truly felt heartbroken.

In the past, Fang Wanrong could have discerned Fang Manping's current mood and said some kind words.

But at this moment, all her attention was on her son.

She didn't even bother to pretend to be gentle in front of Sheng Xinhao just now.

Especially in front of his daughter.

Perhaps she knew that her words had been a bit harsh, and that her daughter might not have had that intention, and that she had misunderstood.

But she had no mind to comfort her, so with her mind in turmoil, she suddenly pushed Fang Manping away, covered her face, and went back to her room.

Fang Manping was left alone in the living room, all alone, watching her mother's back as she lowered her eyes, tears silently dripping onto the back of her hand.

"What's wrong? Did Comrade Hua say something to you?" Gu Jianing was breastfeeding Xingxing when she looked up and saw Sheng Zexi returning from answering a phone call. He seemed a little off, so she asked.

At this moment, Grandma Sang and Yao Chunhua looked at Sheng Zexi with suspicion.

Sheng Zexi's lips moved slightly, but he finally spoke, "Zhenrong told me that the military took Sheng Zerui away, saying he is a Japanese citizen!"

"What? A Japanese? How could he be a Japanese? But who is this Sheng Zerui?" Yao Chunhua exclaimed.

Grandma Sang knew who Sheng Zerui was; wasn't he the son of Xiao Xi's stepmother?
Grandma Sang was truly shocked to learn that he was from Japan.

After Sheng Zexi explained, Grandma Sang and Yao Chunhua finally understood the reason.

"My God, those Japanese are beasts! They switched the newborn babies, separating them from their parents, which was already horrible enough, but they even killed them! Those poor children!" Yao Chunhua felt disgusted with the Japanese.

Or rather, as a citizen of Jiaguo, there is no one who doesn't hate Rguo. The things Rguo has done are all incredibly heinous and outrageous.

“No matter what national or personal grievances there may be, this child is innocent,” Grandma Sang said with emotion.

Although she disliked Fang Wanrong because of her daughter and grandson, she thought she was a scheming woman.

Even the fact that Xiaoxi and Sheng Xinhao had such a falling out was partly due to Fang Wanrong's instigation.

But in the end.

We are both mothers.

She understands the pain of losing a child.

Therefore, she couldn't say anything or gloat.

……

Gu Jianing returned to work at the hospital only half a month after her confinement period ended.

That's right, Yao Chunhua has been in the Northwest Military Region for more than a month, it's time for her to go back.

Two children are easier to take care of; with Grandma Sang looking after them, it's enough.

Meanwhile, in Huaihua Village, Yao Chunhua was still in charge of the village's pig farming and couldn't leave for too long. Besides, she was the pillar of the family.

So, no matter how reluctant she was, Gu Jianing could only buy her mother a train ticket.

Today, Sheng Zexi drove with Gu Jianing to take Yao Chunhua to the train station.

"Mother..." Faced with separation, Gu Jianing could no longer hold back and stepped forward to hug her mother, her eyes reddening.

"Mother, I can't bear to part with you." Gu Jianing's voice was choked with sobs.

Yao Chunhua stroked Gu Jianing's hair, her eyes also reddening. "Silly child, your mother is also reluctant to part with you. Who knows how long it will be before we see each other again after this separation."

Now that we've parted ways, the most likely time we'll meet again is during the Chinese New Year.

But Ningning has two children now, and even by the time of the Lunar New Year, the children will only be a little over six months old. They are so young, is it possible for them to travel a long distance by train back home?
If I can't even go home for the Chinese New Year.

At other times, we'll probably have to wait until the child is a bit older.

This is the downside of marrying off a daughter to someone far away.

It's so hard to even meet them.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely go back as long as I have the chance."

"I miss not only you, but also Dad, my brother and sister-in-law, and Grandma."

"Good, good." Yao Chunhua stroked her hair. "Mother knows, my Ningning has always been a filial child."

"Ningning, you must remember that even if your mother is not by your side, you still need to be well-fed and clothed. Even after you have a child, don't devote all your energy to the child, understand?"

"To parents, even a grandson is not as important as their precious daughter."

Yao Chunhua's words immediately broke Gu Jianing's defenses.

She hugged her mother tightly, rested her head on her shoulder, and sobbed uncontrollably.

"Mother, I know. You and Father must take good care of yourselves. If you need anything, just write to me and I'll send it to you. You must also take good care of yourselves and don't be stingy with money."

Gu Jianing also gave her detailed instructions.

Perhaps only after having children and becoming a mother can one truly understand the hardships of motherhood and the longing she feels for her children.

"Yes, I know, I know, Mom knows everything."

"And Mom, you have to wear the red string amulet I gave you. Take the rest and give one to each of the other family members."
