Chapter 319: The quarrel continues
They accused each other and neither of them was willing to give in.
"You are just too stubborn, Lao Chen. You will ruin our family by doing this." Wang Fuzhen said loudly.
Chen Yanshi was not to be outdone, "I am stubborn? I am trying to save Chen Yang.
What about you? You only think about your son and don’t care about your daughter at all.”
Wang Fuzhen was so angry at Chen Yanshi's words that her face turned red. "What are you talking about? I care about both my son and my daughter.
But we can't be so impulsive, we have to think of a solution rationally."
However, Chen Yanshi simply couldn't listen to what Wang Fuzhen said. He felt that Wang Fuzhen was just favoring Chen Hai.
"You are just biased. You think that sons are the ones who can carry on the family line, and daughters will get married sooner or later. How can you be so cruel as to give up Chen Yang?"
After hearing what Chen Yanshi said, Wang Fuzhen felt filled with grievance.
"Old Chen, how can you say that to me? I love Chen Yang too, but we can't ignore our entire family just to save Chen Yang."
The argument between Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuzhen became more and more intense, and they seemed to have forgotten that Chen Hai was still there.
Chen Hai looked at his quarreling parents, his heart filled with despair.
He felt that no matter what he said, he could not calm the quarrel. He could only stand aside helplessly and cry silently.
The quarrel between Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuzhen continued, while Chen Hai cried silently, his heart full of despair.
Suddenly, a person flashed through Chen Yanshi’s mind—his old classmate Hou Liangping.
In Chen Yanshi's opinion, this once glorious man now lives a seemingly ordinary life in the countryside. Perhaps it is time for him to come out and play a role.
At this time, Hou Liangping was in a vegetable field in the countryside, working hard to grow crops.
Since he passed the civil service exam, his life has indeed become a little lazy.
Working as an ordinary civil servant in this township, receiving five social insurances and one housing fund, and living an ordinary life, the glory of the past is long gone.
Chen Hai looked at his parents who were arguing endlessly and felt that he must find someone to help mediate.
He thought of Hou Liangping, the man they once regarded as a good friend.
Chen Hai hurriedly picked up his phone and dialed Hou Liangping's number.
On the other end of the phone, Hou Liangping heard the phone ringing, put down the farm tools in his hands, wiped the sweat off his forehead, and answered the phone.
"Hey, Chen Hai, why did you think of calling me?"
Chen Hai said anxiously: "Liang Ping, something big happened in my family.
Come to Jingzhou soon, and let's discuss this matter with each other. It's about my sister Chen Yang."
When Hou Liangping heard that it was about Chen Yang, his heart tightened.
He knew the importance of Chen Yang in the hearts of Chen Yanshi's family, and agreed without hesitation: "Okay, I'll go right over."
After hanging up the phone, Hou Liangping packed up his things and set off for Jingzhou.
He first walked to the bus station in town and then took a bus to the county town.
Along the way, Hou Liangping had a lot of thoughts in his mind.
He thought of his former self, the prosecutor who was full of fighting spirit and passion, but now lived a dull life in the countryside.
He didn't know what kind of situation he would face this time when he went to Jingzhou, but he knew that he had to do his part.
After arriving in the county town, Hou Liangping rushed to the train station without stopping.
When buying the train ticket, he looked at the ticket price, which was not cheap, and felt a little hesitant.
After all, his current salary is not high, and the car fare is a considerable expense for him.
But when he thought about Chen Yang's matter, he gritted his teeth and bought the ticket.
Hou Liangping sat on the train, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart. There were many people on the train, and the noise was constant.
There were all kinds of people sitting around him, including migrant workers working outside, wanderers returning home to visit their families, and some business people on business trips.
Hou Liangping listened to their conversation and felt the various aspects of life.
The train sped along the rails, making a clanging sound.
Hou Liangping's mood also fluctuated with the bumpy ride of the train.
He didn't know what was waiting for him, but he knew that he couldn't back down.
After several hours' drive, Hou Liangping finally arrived in Jingzhou.
He dragged his tired body out of the train station, looking at the strange city, feeling a little confused.
But he quickly cheered up and found Chen Yanshi's home according to the address Chen Hai gave him.
When Hou Liangping walked into Chen Yanshi's home, he saw a scene of chaos.
Chen Yanshi and Wang Fuzhen were arguing fiercely, while Chen Hai was crying helplessly on the side.
Hou Liangping hurried forward and tried to persuade them.
"Uncle Chen, Aunt Wang, please stop arguing.
If there is anything, let's discuss it properly. Arguing won't solve the problem." Hou Liangping said.
When Chen Yanshi saw Hou Liangping coming, he felt a little calmer.
He wiped the sweat off his face and said, "Liangping, now you're here, tell me, I want to go save Chen Yang, but they won't let me go."
Wang Fuzhen also said: "Liangping, please persuade Lao Chen.
Myanmar is so dangerous, he can't go there, we can think of other ways."
Hou Liangping looked at them and felt very embarrassed.
He knew Chen Yanshi's feelings for Chen Yang, and understood Wang Fuzhen's worries. He thought for a moment and said, "Uncle Chen, Aunt Wang, don't get excited.
Let's calm down and analyze the current situation.
It is indeed dangerous for Chen Yang to be in Myanmar, but we cannot take risks blindly.
We can work together to find a better solution.”
After hearing what Hou Liangping said, Chen Yanshi was silent for a moment.
He knew that what Hou Liangping said made sense, but he couldn't eliminate the worries in his heart.
"Liang Ping, what do you think we should do? I can't watch Chen Yang suffer there."
Hou Liangping said: "We can continue to seek help from relevant departments or contact some international rescue organizations.
We can also collect information through various channels to understand Chen Yang's specific situation. In short, we cannot give up hope."
As soon as Hou Liangping finished speaking, Chen Yanshi and Chen Hai's expressions instantly became more solemn.
Chen Yanshi frowned tightly, with a strong sense of dissatisfaction rising in his heart.
In his opinion, Hou Liangping's suggestion was simply empty talk.
"Humph, international rescue organization? If you have that ability, why call it an international rescue organization? The Chinese military won't take action, so how can you count on those international organizations? Hou Liangping, Hou Liangping, you say that easily, but is it that easy to actually do it?"
Chen Yanshi secretly complained in his heart.
He felt that Hou Liangping's visit not only did not help, but made him even more upset.
Chen Hai also looked embarrassed. He looked at Hou Liangping, then at his father, not knowing what to say.
He understood his father's anxiety and helplessness, and also understood that Hou Liangping's starting point was good, but under the current circumstances, these suggestions did seem a bit unrealistic.
