Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 790 - 725: Discussion_2

It was just Mr. Mei who made a mistake.

Although they were war comrades for many years, that was in the past. Now, the two have long had different aspirations...

"Erqing, our Lin Family is more than just my branch. Compared to deep roots, if you count back fifty years, the position of our Old Lin Family in the Capital City goes without saying. Although I’ve been far away in Z City these years, our branches in the Capital City are not just here for a free ride. Although my big brother died early, my two nephews are in the Capital City. They may not be able to compare with your Mei Family, but you must know that a dying camel is still bigger than a horse, not to mention we haven’t reached that level yet. My son-in-law from the Lin Family is our pride, and today I’ll lay it on the line—if he wants to acknowledge your family, we’ll support him without a word. If he doesn’t want to, you can’t blame our Lin Family for not getting involved."

Mr. Lin Senior had long been displeased with Mei Erqing’s actions, but ultimately, because of the distance, he didn’t want to ruin the original friendship.

Today, since Mei Erqing came to persuade them, he had to make things clear to him.

No war camaraderie, however important, outweighs his family. That’s the Lin Family, where family ties always come first.

Throughout the years, that’s how he taught the children.

"Brother Sen, don’t speak too assertively. Look at me—I’m all this age. I don’t worry about the second family, but the eldest has never given me peace of mind all these years. He’s made plenty of mistakes and has learned from them. Now that we know our Mei Family has a child out there, whatever it takes, we can’t let him wander out there."

Mr. Lin laughed twice. "How can you say he’s wandering? Xiao Yi has Mom and Grandma. He grew up with Mom, has a name and identity. Frankly, your fault is not paying him any attention these years. People have pride and strength and don’t need you. Don’t force it. You’ve ignored him all these years, so continue to act as if he doesn’t exist."

Mr. Lin’s straightforward and hurtful words spared no courtesy, which might lead those unaware of the situation to think of him as a harsh person.

But today, the Lin Family present didn’t find it harsh. Instead, harshness seemed more fitting for the Mei Family.

"Though you say that, we know it’s our fault. Haven’t we been trying to make amends all this time? He doesn’t give us a chance. That child’s temper resembles mine—a stubborn mule. Fits my taste. You know, the eldest’s one committed something and is still in there. I don’t have many years ahead, growing old, valuing family more. Like Brother Sen, I yearn for that feeling of grandchildren around the knees."

"Erqing, I know about your grandson’s affair. To be fair, the issue your grandson stirred up this time isn’t minor. Young and impetuous, kids inevitably make mistakes. Knowing mistakes and being able to correct them is our blessing. In the future, he can still achieve great things, still have numerous offspring. Also, your grandson excels over here at the military quarters, the district is excellent. Heard that kid has found someone, and as a grandfather, you’re not far from holding great-grandchildren. It’s a matter of turning the year, just a couple more years."

"Junzi, that child has been obedient and outstanding since young, just like my family’s second child. I don’t worry about them. Ah... Brother Sen, I know you value this grandson-in-law, wanting justice for the child. Rightly so. Today, I promise Brother Sen, as long as the child agrees to return to the Mei Family, any condition will be accepted."

Mr. Lin raised his eyebrows in surprise, frowned and pondered for a moment, it seems the Mei Family is willing to pay heavily this time.

The Mei Family’s eldest only had one son, now causing trouble, the military quarters, the career is basically over, and the future is uncertain. Hence, they thought of Han Yi, the illegitimate child. Han Yi has been alone in the military quarters and camp, earning considerable military merits, who in the district doesn’t know him.

With such an outstanding child, the Mei Family certainly wants to recognize him back. In the future, he will surely bring honor to the Mei Family.

The eldest family has Mei Lang Yi, the second has Mei Lang Jun. With two rising young generals, the Mei Family will occupy half the sky in the military world.

Mei Erqing indeed knows how to calculate.

"The children have grown up, each having their ideas, and the Lin Family’s power has long been given to the eldest. At home now, I’m nothing but an old man needing their care. Of course, when things come up, I can still say a few words. Anyway, we’re all for the children’s good. This matter, I’ll promise you to help talk about it. However... ultimately, it depends on Han Yi’s decision."
