Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer
Chapter 182 Making a Promise
The sons and daughters-in-law gathered around the old woman to discuss the matter. The old woman hesitated and said, "I'm not saying that I want to take this treasure away from this child, but he's just a child. How can he take care of such a jade artifact? What if it gets lost or damaged?
Besides, I still have a few years left to live, so let me have a last thought to accompany me and see my late husband and eldest son."
She was about to burst into tears again. People around her hurried to comfort her. Ran Mo thought for a moment. The old lady's words were sincere and made sense.
She walked over to the child and said earnestly, "Little brother, did you hear what your grandma said? Who do you think should keep this bracelet for the time being?"
The child blinked and said nothing. Ran Mo continued, "In theory, this bracelet is indeed the property left to you by your mother, and it is also a memory.
But sometimes, seeing things can remind you of people or even make you sad. If you always look at it, you will always think of your mother, which makes you sad. I am afraid it is not good for your growth.
"How about we step aside for now and let Grandma take the jade bracelet first, and we'll talk about it later. The most important thing for you is to stay cheerful and live a good life, so that you can repay your parents for raising you, okay?"
The child understood and nodded solemnly. Ran Mo patted his cheek to show his approval. Then he put the bracelet in his hand and said, "Go over there and give it to your grandmother personally."
The child held the jade bracelet in his hand and walked step by step to the old lady, saying, "Grandma, this bracelet is for you."
After hearing this, the old lady had a complicated expression on her face. She then reached out and hugged the child tightly in her arms, tears streaming down her face as she said, "My dear child, when grandma passes away one day, I will definitely return this bracelet to you.
"Grandma is sorry for you and your mother. I will definitely treat you well from now on so that your parents can rest assured." The two of them hugged each other and cried bitterly. Everyone who saw them was moved.
After the others consoled the two, Ran Mo said, "I'll have to trouble Grandma, Uncle, and Aunt to take care of this child's daily life. Also, I think this child is of school age, so please encourage him to study hard and he will become a successful person in the future."
If he needs to go to school in town, just contact us and we will help him find a teacher and arrange accommodation there."
As he spoke, he went to leave his name and address in the town to the old lady's son. The old lady and her family expressed their gratitude. The child opened his bright eyes and asked:
"Brother, can I really go to school in town? My mother has been talking about sending me there. I really want to grow wings and fly there quickly."
Listening to his childish words, everyone laughed. Ran Mo nodded without hesitation and said that as long as he wanted to go to school, he could help arrange it at any time.
Qingsheng also squeezed over at this time, squatted down, hugged his shoulders and said, "In addition to what this little brother said, I, the big brother, also promised you that I can take you to the town school to study at any time. What do you think?"
The child leaped for joy upon hearing this. Ranmo then discussed follow-up matters with the old woman's family, including burying the eldest daughter-in-law and finding a school for the child. Several people agreed and proceeded as Ranmo suggested.
The problem was basically solved, and Ranmo asked the old lady and her family to take care of themselves and take good care of the children, and then said goodbye to them. The old lady's family thanked Ranmo and his family profusely and sent them out.
After walking a long way, they looked back and saw the old lady holding the child's hand, still standing at the door and waving to them...
They returned to their residence and sat down to drink tea and rest. As if they had just experienced a battle, they then talked about the old lady's family affairs.
I felt sad for the warmth and coldness of family relationships in this world, and I also praised Ran Mo for helping to resolve the conflict today.
Ran Mo smiled embarrassedly and said that she was a little nervous at first, and it was only because of everyone's support that she had the courage to negotiate with that family.
Then he said that he actually had a little idea that he had not discussed with them in advance, so he was still a little nervous.
Upon hearing this, several people curiously asked what he was thinking. Ranmo glanced at Qingsheng and said that ever since he saw the miserable state of the child after the woman jumped into the river that night, he had wanted to do his best to help him.
If his grandmother's family didn't want to raise the child or treated him badly, she would find a way to help him study and live in town. After saying this, she glanced at Qingsheng again.
After hearing this, everyone hurriedly said that Ranmo was worrying too much. If that was the case, they would definitely help Ranmo complete this task. They were all kind-hearted people.
Qingsheng had already understood the look Ranmo gave him, knowing that she meant to say that she might need his help later. It was rare that this little girl knew that she was useful.
Thinking of this, he pretended to be cautious and said, "Ran Mo's intentions are good, but I still want to criticize you a little. How could you bury this matter in your heart and not tell us?
Especially if you don't tell me, how can I help you?" Suddenly, he felt that he couldn't talk any further. It would be bad if those people saw through him.
Ran Mo also hurriedly told him that he had not thought it through enough and that he would take the initiative to discuss it with everyone if there were similar things in the future.
Qingsheng then suggested, "Why don't we form a small agency? It's basically just expanding the scope of Ranmo's litigation work."
If we encounter people and situations like this in urgent need of help in the future, we will take the initiative to help them solve their problems. If there are elderly people, children, weak women, etc. who need practical help, we will also consider solving their living and study problems.”
Qingsheng's grand yet benevolent proposal truly astonished everyone. Ranmo hadn't expected Qingsheng to have such vision and broad-mindedness. It was like a charitable organization in modern society, doing good deeds to help the disadvantaged.
While the others admired him, they were also hesitant about whether they had the ability to participate in such an event. Qingsheng saw everyone's doubts and said:
"I know that doing something like this requires not only ability but also financial and political support. We can take it step by step and do our best.
At least for now, Wu Shao and I should be able to shoulder more responsibilities thanks to our families. In the future, when we have both completed our studies and can earn money, we can truly rely on our own strength to help more people."
His generous speech aroused everyone's enthusiasm and initiative. Hu Ling also said that she could use her royalties to help the formation and operation of this small group.
He also suggested, "We can also give this club a catchy name to help bring everyone together."
Everyone agreed. After some thought, several names were proposed for discussion. Some advocated calling it the Helping People Society, saying it sounded simple and straightforward; others suggested the Victory Society, emphasizing their confidence in victory.
In the end, I felt that the name Hu Ling suggested was the best: Renyi Ju. It has the elegance of sages and ancient ways, and embodies the core values of benevolence and righteousness.
Everyone decided on this name. They would then continue to do more good deeds and perform more righteous acts under this name. They would also constantly summarize their experiences and mistakes, striving to handle future problems more effectively.
Ranmo expressed his appreciation. Isn't this the common saying of giving equal weight to efficiency and effectiveness? When dealing with these matters, we can't just mechanically apply rules and regulations; we need some humane analysis and consideration.
Of course, the word "humanity" isn't popular here yet, but the meaning and concept are the same. Family matters like this can be resolved in a variety of appropriate ways.
However, when talking about the strange incident of the jade bracelet again, Qingsheng put forward an opinion that seemed a bit "unpleasant".
He felt that the old lady was inexcusably responsible for her daughter-in-law's death. If this matter had not been properly handled, he would have reported the matter to the authorities and punished severely for both crimes.
Upon hearing this, several people fell silent. Everyone had thought of this before, and they admired Qingsheng for speaking out so frankly. It's just that in today's society, after all, the context is one of caring for the elderly.
Even if a mother-in-law mistreats her daughter-in-law, others cannot accuse her of anything. Unless they see the old woman push the daughter-in-law into the river, it is difficult for the government to convict her. Neighbors who know the situation can only sigh or curse in secret.
It was also to take into consideration the child's future development. If his grandmother was taken away for this matter, and his uncle and aunt disliked him because of it, then he would have no idea how to deal with his future life.
Therefore, it is difficult to handle many things in the way everyone wants. In the end, we can only find a compromise to minimize the damage.
Although the child's relationship with his grandmother has eased for now, it is unknown whether the seeds of resentment are still buried deep in his heart.
That's why Ranmo and the others decided to keep an eye on the child's development, including his mental health. Whether it was a child's matter or an adult's relationship, the hidden spiritual issues reflected in it couldn't be underestimated or ignored.
