Xu Yanshan didn’t know what she was saying, but she’s getting out no matter what.

“I’m sorry! I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Let me go, I promise I won’t go against you. In fact, Old Mrs. Lan instructed me to do all of this, I didn’t do it voluntarily!”

“Xu Yanshan! What are you saying?”

Zhao Xiumei was shocked. Why was she to blame?

“Mom, I’m sorry, I want to leave this place. I can’t protect you anymore!” Xu Yanshan cried.

“What a show! But Grandma, are you able to take the blame when you’re this old?” Lan Anran smiled and said.

“Lan Anran! Don’t be so complacent, I won’t forgive you even if I die and become a ghost!” Zhao Xiumei furiously cursed.

Lan Anran didn’t care, the heavens wouldn’t forgive her!

“Is that so? Well I have a pretty good idea. I can let you go, but only one of you can come out. You can discuss who will be the scapegoat!” Lan Anran hung up.

The two of them looked at each other and Xu Yanshan spoke.

“Mom, I’m still young and have a bright future. I don’t want to go to jail. Tingyi is already in jail and I don’t feel at ease leaving Yaxin alone. She can’t have parents that are both in jail!” Xu Yanshan knelt down.

Zhao Xiumei looked at Xu Yanshan with tears in her eyes.

She was old and would probably die of old age in prison. She couldn’t go to jail either!

“Yanshan, let me out. I’ll save you when I’m out. Tingyun is my son after all. As long as I cause a scene, he will definitely agree.”

Zhao Xiumei spoke with tears in her eyes.

Xu Yanshan shook her head. She didn’t believe Old Mrs. Lan’s idea and it was useless to create trouble now. Besides, Tingyun was here before and seemed determined. She wouldn’t be able to convince him.

The two of them were in a deadlock.

Mo Jinrong and Lan Anran leaned against each other, watching the two of them act.

“Anran, are you really willing to let her go to jail? She’s your grandma.”

Mo Jinrong couldn’t understand why Lan Anran seemed to have a blood feud with her biological grandmother.

“Let me tell you a story. A girl was sent to the countryside when she was young. She ate leftovers from others and wore old clothes. She could only have a good meal during the new year. Back then, she hated her parents until she grew up.

Suddenly, one day, her father came to her and said that he wanted her to get involved in a marriage. She didn’t know that it was someone her cousin didn’t want and it was humiliating for her. She couldn’t resist and wanted revenge. This was the only thought in her heart for all those years.”

Lan Anran spoke tirelessly, her eyes occasionally glistening with tears.

“She used all her strength and racked her brains to hate everyone. She took revenge on those who bullied her. She hated her parents and her husband. Even if that person used all his life to love her, he didn’t get any good out of it.

At this time, her parents treated her a little better. She felt a little warm, but was instigated by her malicious uncle and grandma. Back then, she thought that the person who treated her the best was her cousin, but she was wrong. She believed her cousin’s words and watched as her uncle’s family killed her parents and her husband.

Her husband died in front of her eyes and she will always remember the pain. In the end, she understood that her cousin lied to her and she was forced off a cliff by her cousin, ending her humiliating life.”

Lan Anran cried silently, which confused Mo Jinrong even more.

The first half of the story was very moving. He seemed to have seen his own shadow, but he couldn’t understand the second half.

He was puzzled by the latter part of the story. This didn’t seem to have happened in real life.

“Is the story about you?” he asked in disbelief.

Lan Anran wiped her tears and smiled without a word.

If she said anything, others would think she was lying and putting on a front. She didn’t know if he believed her words.

She turned her head and looked at the two people in the small detention center. They were still discussing and when it seemed like they were going to start a fight…

“What are you doing? Are you done? It’s so noisy!”

The fat woman was furious. She had been listening to their bickering ever since she was here.

“Yanshan, I’m old, I can’t hold on for more than a few years. Why don’t you let me retire outside?”

Zhao Xiumei spoke gently again.

“Mom, you have free food and lodging here. What are you afraid of? I’m still young and Yaxin still needs her mother!” Xu Yanshan said furiously.

Old Mrs. Lan didn’t have many years left, so it was a waste for her to escape jail.

Lan Anran patted herself and yawned.

“Have you discussed it? Who’s coming out?” Lan Anran asked.

“I’m coming out!”

“I’m coming out!”

The two of them were pushing and shoving each other!

The police shouted, “What are you fighting about? It’s only been half a day!”

The two of them fell silent.

Lan Anran didn’t speak, looking at the two of them quietly.

“Anran, I know that I’ve let you down, but I know my mistakes, can you forgive me?” Zhao Xiumei spoke softly.

“Forgive? What right do you have to talk about forgiveness? Prepare to retire in prison!” Lan Anran hung up angrily.

“Anran! Lan Anran!”

Zhao Xiumei couldn’t accept it. She watched the two of them leave and felt uncomfortable.

“It’s your fault! We would have made it out otherwise!” Xu Yanshan grumbled.

“Yanshan, what’s wrong with you today? You don’t usually behave like this.” Zhao Xiumei was furious with Xu Yanshan’s performance today.

“Mom, to be honest, you should take the blame. I’m still young, but you’re already very old. This prison is equivalent to a nursing home. I will find a good lawyer to save you once I’m out,” Xu Yanshan said.

“What nonsense is that?”

Zhao Xiumei was furious.

“Old Mrs. Lan, I think she’s right. How old are you? I heard that there is food and drinks in prison. Isn’t it better than a nursing home?”

The fat woman smiled.

Zhao Xiumei fell silent. She didn’t want to go to jail, but she had to endure it for the sake of her children.

“Mom, I’ll get the warden to send the letter out. It’s settled, I’m going out.”

Xu Yanshan was overjoyed.

Zhao Xiumei didn’t speak, she lowered her head and cried.
