After being abandoned by the educated youth, I became rich in the 80s

Looking at Lan Xin's haggard face, which looked older than him, her white lips, and her thin body, everything was like a sledgehammer, hitting Brother Lan's heart hard, causing his deeply rooted ideas to begin to waver.

Yes, over the years, my younger sister has managed to come through it all on her own and raised three children, which shows that it doesn't matter whether Zhou Rongxin is there or not.

But then I thought about the rumors that followed me around the village, the innuendos from neighbors and even relatives and friends, and the way my parents became thinner and silent and didn't talk to anyone...

Brother Lan gritted his teeth, struggled internally, and turned his head away hesitantly, not daring to look at Lan Xin again, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to hold on.

Brother Lan's tone was no longer as firm as it was at the beginning; he was unsure of his own heart.

"The child cannot be without a father. Look at what the villagers say after so many years. What are you going to do with the child in the future?"

"What's the point of having a father who is just a father in name only, who does nothing and is not a father at all? He is still a burden."

After a moment, Lan Xin looked up at Brother Lan. She was still feeling sad for Yuan Lan Xin, but her brother couldn't wait to push her towards the man who was the culprit of all this.

Lan Xin reached out to wipe the tears from her face, and replied with a sarcastic look on her face that she didn't want to argue with them anymore.

No mood, no meaning.

In front of Yingying and Yueyue, Zhou Rongxin is not a good father.

Zhou Rongxin is a very traditional person. He only sees his "son" Zhou Sheng in his eyes. He has the same attitude towards his wife and daughter. They are all "outsiders" to him. Only his son is his root.

Haven’t you seen that Yueyue has become lively in the past few years since Zhou Rongxin left? When she was a child, she was just like Yingying in front of Zhou Rongxin, timid and weak. She looked at Zhou Rongxin as her father but didn’t dare to get close to him.

It’s a pity that Zhou Sheng, his son, inherited his father’s inferior genes and is a complete ungrateful person.

It just so happens that he is not in Lan Xin’s planned future.

"Let the villagers say whatever they want. I will handle it myself. If I can't handle it, I will take the children to the town, the county, or the provincial capital."

"I won't drag you or my parents down. Don't worry. Sooner or later, I will make sure those people don't dare to talk nonsense anymore."

Thinking of the two children, Lan Xin's eyes softened.

Yuan Lanxin is really cruel. Zhou Rongxin doesn't care about his two daughters, so she doesn't care either. She just leaves without any reluctance.

Lan Xin let out a long sigh, and her eyes gradually became firm.

She just didn't believe it. With her foresight and knowing the general direction of the future, she couldn't stand firm in this era where one could become the richest man by selling tea eggs.

Lan Xin answered all the questions raised by Brother Lan one by one. No matter what the difficulties were, they were not a problem in her eyes.

Brother Lan and Sister Lan were speechless, but they were gradually persuaded by Lan Xin. However, they felt that this was not right and was not in line with the world's situation...

Mrs. Lan still felt it was a pity. She looked at Lan Xin and said, "He is a promising father in the city. Aren't you afraid that your child will blame you when he grows up?"

After all, it's the same old saying. She has endured so many years of hardship and now there is a bright future. If she says she doesn't want it, how can the child not blame her when she grows up?

Just imagine who the child will choose, the dad who lives in a small building in the city and the mom who lives in a leaky hut in the countryside and grows vegetables for a living.

It would be fine if the child didn’t know, but Zhou Sheng has been away from home for a week now.

Yingying and Yueyue also followed them north and saw all the prosperity here. Although they are still young, who can guarantee that they will not miss it?

Mrs. Lan advised with empathy, thinking about the tall buildings she saw along the way, the cars running on the road, the clean and bright house, and the soft bed.

Mrs. Lan thought that she was willing to suffer so that her children could enjoy these material things.

"Everything in this city is better than Lanjia Village. For the sake of your children, you should think about it carefully, right?"

"Sister-in-law, the city is good, but it's good only if you can catch it."

Lan Xin saw that Brother Lan and Sister-in-law Lan's ideas had been shaken and they no longer held on to their old ideas and made tough demands on her just to save a little face.

Her tone was no longer so stiff, and she no longer had the energy to continue arguing, so she began to explain in a gentle voice.

"What do you mean by being able to catch it?" Mrs. Lan looked confused and puzzled.

They are their biological parents. Everything they earn now will eventually be left to their children, right?

Lan Xin looked at the two people's confused expressions, pulled them to sit down beside the bed, and began to tell the story.

"Sister-in-law, you also heard on the train that now all educated youth can return to the city, and those who have been admitted to university can also settle down in the city."

"Yes, except for those who have started families, all the educated youth in the team have left." Mrs. Lan nodded repeatedly. Even though the Lanjia Brigade has now been renamed Lanjia Village, she still can't change it for the time being.

Brother Lan also nodded. Life in their Lanjia Village was pretty good. There were many educated youth who came to their village to work in the countryside. Over the years, they had become familiar with each other.

"Then have you noticed that these educated youth returned to the city alone, or as a couple, while those who had started families did not move and still lived in the village." Lan Xin raised a question and looked at them.

Brother Lan scratched his head and thought about it: "It seems to be like this."

"Lan Xin, what do you mean by this?" Mrs. Lan looked at Lan Xin and seemed to understand something. She couldn't wait to urge Lan Xin to continue.

Lan Xin didn't keep anyone in suspense and said directly:

"What I mean is that those educated youth who returned to the city only had their own household registration, and their children and wives could not follow them. They should still have rural household registration."

"ah!"

Brother Lan and Sister Lan suddenly opened their eyes wide, their faces full of disbelief.

Because Lan Xin was deceived by an educated youth who went to the countryside for no reason and insisted on marrying him when they were young, but he later abandoned her after the college entrance examination, so the Lan family did not have a good impression of those educated youth who went to the countryside.

It's not so serious as to get angry with the other party, but the communication is limited to nodding when meeting, and there is no getting to know people or talking much.

Lanjia Village is too close to the mountains and is surrounded by them, so it is very far away from the nearby county town.

There weren't many close relatives in the city in their village who could talk to them about these things, so Brother Lan and Sister Lan didn't quite understand some common sense things in the city.

This gives Lan Xin room to maneuver.

"What about the rural household registration?" Mrs. Lan asked anxiously.

Lan Xin's mouth twitched: "With a rural household registration, the children can't go to school in the city, and the adults can't find a job."
