Chapter 685: Please don’t lie to your mother, okay?

"My third uncle wanted to control me, and he found a bald bachelor to exchange me for a dowry, but I didn't agree."

Zhang Ran said it lightly. Luo's mother was so angry that she stood up again, "How could he do this?! He is so shameless! He is not worthy of being an uncle! What about your fifth uncle and youngest uncle?"

"Uncle Wu, there was a flood in the county, and he went out to work and was not at home all year round. As for Uncle Xiao?" Zhang Ran changed the subject, "He disappeared."

Hearing this, Luo's mother slowly sat back in her chair, her eyes suddenly reddened, "It's my fault. I was confused at the time and caused you to lose your father and mother, and be bullied like this. What about Yaozu? Did you change your name too?"

Zhang Ran looked at her deeply and said, "He hasn't changed."

Luo's mother suddenly felt a little comforted.

The villagers favor boys over girls, so it is possible that they would bully Zhang Ran, an orphan girl. But Luo Yaozu is a boy after all, so they should not go that far.

He looked at Zhang Ran again, with a hint of reproach in his eyes: "The villagers drove you away, so why did you change your name as well?"

"I want to change it so I can. What's it to you?" Zhang Ran immediately retorted.

Luo's mother's face froze, "...I am sorry for you. It's better for you to change. Then when you go to college, others won't know that you have a mother in prison."

Thinking of an important event, he asked in confusion: "Why are you on TV but Yaozu is not?" Why is Gao Yunfeng on TV but Yaozu is not?

"My brother was on TV, didn't you see it?" Zhang Ran pretended to be surprised.

"Ah? Was he on TV?" Luo's mother carefully recalled the content of the TV shows she had watched, "Why didn't I see it?"

Zhang Ran asked meaningfully, "Didn't you see the news that a group of robbers kidnapped college entrance examination candidates on the street during the college entrance examination?"

"What did you say? Your brother was kidnapped?!" Luo's mother stood up in shock. She had seen this news on TV, but she didn't take it seriously because it was quickly suppressed and no longer allowed to be reported.

Zhang Ran sneered, "Have you become stupid from being in jail? Yaozu dropped out of school and went to jail, how can he be considered a college entrance examination candidate?"

Luo's mother: "...I was confused." She sat down angrily and thought carefully about the news she had told her. She was puzzled, "The kidnappers kidnapped a college entrance examination candidate on the street. What does this have to do with your brother?"

Zhang Ran stared into her eyes with a playful look on his face: "Because, I am the college entrance examination candidate."

Luo’s mother: !!!

She stood up again and whispered back, "No! You were admitted to Peking University and Tsinghua University, and you were even on TV. How could you be kidnapped in the street during the college entrance examination? Xiaoyue, please don't lie to your mother, okay?"

"I came all the way to see you, not to play tricks on you." Zhang Ran's face immediately darkened.

Luo's mother hesitated: "...then how can you continue to study at Peking University and Tsinghua University?"

"Admission by recommendation. Even if I fail the college entrance exam, I can still go to Peking University or Tsinghua University." She didn't ask what happened to her after the kidnapping, whether she was injured or in any danger. She only focused on whether she was admitted to Peking University or Tsinghua University. What a 'good' mother she is!

Seeing Luo's mother's relieved look, Zhang Ran changed the subject and said, "Why don't you ask why those robbers kidnapped me on the street during the college entrance examination?"

When she looked into Zhang Ran's dark eyes, Luo's mother had a bad feeling in her heart. As the silence grew longer, it became stronger and stronger. She asked in a trembling voice, "Why? Did your uncle offend someone outside and implicate you?"

After all, the others are farmers, and only Luo Laoliu, who is active in society outside, would attract fierce enemies.
