Chapter 1956: Jiajia
“What else can we do? Let’s go back.” Mother Wei, who was feeling especially tormented, shed tears. “I can see that this time, Zhai Hua is really ruthless. Ah De can’t even return to the army now. Everything in Ping Cheng is expensive. We won’t be spending money. We will be burning money. After returning to the countryside, we can lead our lives easier.”
In Mother Wei’s heart, her son’s life was more important than having a good life. Initially, they just wanted to scare the Zhai family so that they wouldn’t dare to fight this divorce lawsuit.
Who knew that her son actually committed suicide in the end? Although he didn’t die, he had a fracture. Upon thinking of how pale her son looked when he was sent to the hospital, Mother Wei felt heartache. “Let’s go back to our hometown. We can’t stay in this place anymore.”
Indeed, after Zhai Hua left, the Wei family, who came from the countryside, didn’t have the means to continue living in the big city. Mother Wei always thought that their Wei family was completely different. However, once the divorce took place, Mother Wei realized that their family was never from the city. As such, they were immediately returned to their original state.
“I was so frightened by what happened today that I didn’t even know how I arrived at the hospital. If Ah De does this again, I don’t have to live anymore. I might as well just die together with Ah De. You have said it as well. Zhai Hua’s not an ordinary woman. Their family plays hard tactics. I don’t wish for anything else but for our family to be complete and Ah De to live well.”
She didn’t have money, but she had her son and grandson. As long as these two men were still alive, there was still hope for the Wei family in the future. On the contrary, if they continued to stay in Ping Cheng to keep an eye on the Zhai family and fight with them to the end, she was afraid that she would lose either her son or grandson in the end.
She could have another grandson again if she was gone. However, if her son was gone, there was really nothing left.
Upon hearing what Mother Wei said, Father Wei’s face darkened. Even if he was unwilling, he couldn’t say anything to refute Mother Wei’s words now. As long as they had the ability to continue living in Ping Cheng, then it’s fine if he wasn’t willing to leave. However, their family had lost this ability, and that was why they shouldn’t let go of Zhai Hua. “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Let’s see how Ah De’s surgery went. We can see Ah De’s decision for everything after he has woken up.”
He was already old and no longer the decision-maker of this family. Everything would be decided by Ah De.
Zhai Hua transferred money over and Wei De received medical treatment in time. His fractured leg was naturally saved. As long as he recuperated well, Wei De could recover to his original state before he was injured within half a year.
After Wei De woke up, the first thing he heard was that he was already divorced from Zhai Hua. Mother Wei wiped her tears. “Ah De, to me, you being alive is much more important than anything else. Ah De, let’s return to the countryside.” Life in Ping Cheng was really something that they, as villagers, couldn’t afford.
It cost a lot of money to rent a house. Vegetables in the city were more expensive than meat in the countryside. Zhai Hua used to be in charge of these. She only needed to cook and eat. One didn’t know how expensive oil and salt were until they had to pay for them. Only when Zhai Hua was gone did Mother Wei truly realize how much their daily expenses would be for a year if they were to continue living in Ping Cheng.
One only knew how good the other party was after losing her. As she started to manage this family, Mother Wei subconsciously realized that Zhai Hua had sacrificed so much and spent so much money on this family. Even if everyone from their family went out to work, they couldn’t earn the same amount of money at all.
Wei De gritted his teeth. His feeling of unwillingness was much stronger than Father Wei’s. It was so difficult for him to finally walk out of the countryside and into the big city to be a company commander of the army. He had to go back with nothing now? Wouldn’t the people from his hometown mock him?
Even if he could continue living after returning to his hometown, it was afraid that he would never be able to raise his head or straighten his back anymore. This was definitely not how he, Wei De, should be living. He should be upright and a big shot everyone looked up to. “Dad, Mom, after my leg’s better, both of you head back first. I’ll stay in Ping Cheng for the time being.”
Nothing was impossible. More than ten years ago, when those people in the army knew that he was together with Zhai Hua, they all laughed at him, saying that she was way out of his league and that he was just dreaming. And then? Not too long later, he married Zhai Hua and they had a daughter, Jiajia.
The Zhai family was stubborn. After Zhai Sheng divorced Qiu Chenxi, he didn’t find another partner all these years. Even if the court ruled today that he was divorced from Zhai Hua, she might not find another partner after the divorce, just like her brother. As time passed by, he didn’t believe he couldn’t win over Zhai Hua and make her have a change of mind.
Most importantly, even if he was really unsuccessful and couldn’t be husband and wife with Zhai Hua anymore, that was nothing. He still had Jiajia, their daughter! He didn’t believe that Jiajia would ignore him if anything happened to him. If he ran into some trouble, Jiajia, as his daughter, would have to help him.
It was fine that Jiajia was young and had limited abilities. As long as Jiajia knew how to go to the Zhai family for help and did a great job at crying and begging the Zhai family, he might be able to enjoy the special treatment that he couldn’t receive from Zhai Hua back then.
As such, Zhai Hua wasn’t his last trump card. Without Zhai Hua, he still had Jiajia, their daughter. Perhaps in the Zhai family’s eyes, Jiajia was even more favored than Zhai Hua. As long as there was Jiajia, it wasn’t a total loss for him. Regardless of whether he had treated Jiajia well in the past, he was still Jiajia’s father in this lifetime. Jiajia didn’t need to think about getting rid of him.
“You’re not going back?” From Wei De’s eyes, Father Wei knew that his son was not willing to give up. “You’re trying to… Jiajia?” Oh, yes. There was still Jiajia, their granddaughter. How did he forget about her?
He usually only cared about his grandson. Who knew that during critical times, the most reliable person was actually Jiajia, his granddaughter? Jiajia was surnamed Wei. The Wei family’s future depended on Jiajia. “I think that’s possible. Jiajia is surnamed Wei. She might even be more capable than Zhai Hua. Ah De, after you stay behind, you have to think of ways to meet Jiajia and communicate with her. Let’s leave the past behind. Jiajia is still young and you’re her father. As long as you treat her better, she will remember you as her father.”
Children were forgetful. In the past, Ah De only treated Xiao Wei well and treated Jiajia ordinarily.
