After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Lan's mother quietly turned away to wipe her tears, but when she turned back, her face was already beaming with a bright and gentle smile.

As if time had not changed, the loving gaze she gave Lan Yujuan was still the same as when they were students.

"It's nothing!"

Lan's mother held Lan Yujuan's hand and gently patted the back of her hand, saying:

"My parents are getting old; it's inevitable that they'll get minor illnesses and a few gray hairs!"

"It's all in the past, let's not dwell on it. It's good that you and the baby are back!"

As she spoke, Lan's mother became emotional. She hugged her daughter tightly, then turned around, put on her shoes, took her coat and bag from the hanger, and was about to leave.

"Juan'er, you just got home, go back to your room and rest for a while!"

"While the vegetables at the morning market are still fresh, Mom will go buy some and make you your favorite steamed sea bass for lunch!"

Seeing this, Lan Yujuan also prepared to change her shoes.

"Mom, I'll come with you! I can even help you carry the groceries!"

Mother Lan quickly refused, lowering her head and choking back tears:

"No need, you don't need to come along!"

"Listen to me, stay home and rest well, spend time with your dad!"

"Your dad is home alone with the baby, and your mom doesn't feel comfortable going out to buy groceries."

After hearing this, Lan Yujuan remembered her father, who was unsteady on his feet even after throwing away his crutches and carrying his daughter, and immediately abandoned her idea of ​​going out.

She saw her mother to the door, then suddenly remembered something and quickly gave her some instructions:

"By the way, Mom, I need to tell you something first. You and Dad need to be mentally prepared."

Lan's mother had her hand on the doorknob, but upon hearing her daughter's serious tone, she immediately withdrew it.

"What is it?"

Lan Yujuan took a deep breath, skipped over the specific details, and gave a brief explanation.

"I want a divorce and to take my baby home, but my in-laws don't agree."

"I secretly took a plane back when they weren't looking."

"Xiaoman's father chased after her to Xiangnan overnight and may come knocking on her door at any time."

Upon hearing this, Lan's mother's heart clenched, and she no longer cared about going out to buy groceries.

"Yujuan, did you two go to get your marriage certificate renewed?" Lan's mother asked anxiously.

"Has the baby been registered? Is she under your custody or her father's?"

The daughter, who had been married off to a distant place for four years, finally made up her mind to bring her granddaughter back. This unexpected surprise was something that Lan's mother hadn't had time to fully process.

At this moment, upon hearing that the bastard who had abducted her daughter had actually come to her door again, Lan's mother was filled with panic.

She simply couldn't accept losing her daughter, whom she had regained, again!

Seeing her mother's anxiety, Lan Yujuan quickly reassured her, "Mom, don't worry!"

"Liu Zhiyuan and I only held a wedding banquet, but we never got a marriage certificate."

"I've made up my mind to break up with him. There's absolutely no way I'll go back to the Liu family with him!"

"Although the baby's household registration is in Xiahe Village, with Liu Zhiyuan, I brought the baby's household registration book, birth certificate, and vaccination record back with me."

"As for custody, I am prepared to pursue legal action. No matter how difficult and tortuous the process may be, I am determined to win it back."

After hearing this, Lan's mother finally relaxed a little.

"Okay, that's good!"

"Juan'er, once you've made up your mind, you don't need to worry about the rest."

Just then, Mr. Lan tiptoed out of the bedroom and left the door slightly ajar.

He had clearly overheard the mother and daughter's conversation, and as he walked over, he said in a deep voice:

"What's there to be afraid of? Even if the child's father comes knocking on our door, we're not afraid!"

"Even if your in-laws come chasing after us and kneeling at our door begging for mercy, I can still beat them all out!"

"Now that you're home, just relax and don't worry about anything or be afraid of anything!"

"As long as Mom and Dad can still breathe, even if the sky falls, they'll hold it up for you and your child!"

Seeing the awkward father and daughter, Lan's mother smiled to herself, patted her daughter gently, and then went to buy groceries.

Lan Yujuan felt very sad when she saw her father's current state.

Even after being discharged from the hospital and recovering, he still needed to use crutches, which shows how dangerous and serious the situation must have been when he first fell ill!

Unfortunately, at that time, she, as the only daughter of the Lan family, was married off to a distant place.

Not only did he not stay by his parents' side to take care of them, but he also didn't go home for holidays or festivals, and he didn't even make a single caring phone call.

Lan Yujuan felt increasingly distressed as she thought about it, so she quickly picked up her cane and handed it to her father.

"Dad, you're sick, why didn't you tell me?" Lan Yujuan's voice choked with sobs, and tears began to fall uncontrollably as soon as she opened her mouth.

Mr. Lan, with a stern face, simply walked around the cane and said stubbornly:

"I'm much better now. I can walk without crutches."

He slowly moved to the sofa and sat down. He saw his daughter still holding her cane, standing there in a daze, crying her eyes out. He couldn't help but feel his own eyes redden as well.

"Stop crying! Hold it in!"

"You'd rather sever ties with your family than marry that bastard. How can I talk to you on the phone?"

"Besides, when you suddenly fell ill and went to Beijing for surgery, you had already returned to your hometown with him, and your due date was approaching. What good would it have been to call then?"

"Later, you were raising the child alone, and I imagine it wasn't easy for you either. Your family didn't want to be a burden on you..."

Lan Yujuan lowered her head in shame, wiping away her tears while unconsciously stroking the cane in her hand.

Suddenly, "Knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door.

Mr. Lan quickly said, "Go open the door, don't wake the baby!"

"Your mother has been quite forgetful lately."

"She went out without me today, so she must have realized she forgot something again as soon as she got downstairs!"
