He didn’t believe that Jiajia didn’t crave Ah De’s attention. Now that Ah De was willing to give Jiajia all his fatherly love, Jiajia was bound to be happy. Once they had a good father-daughter relationship, on account of Jiajia, the Zhai family wouldn’t treat Ah De too badly.
What if Ah De had the chance to return to the army again as a company commander and even get a promotion?
Upon thinking about these possibilities, Father Wei’s looks improved. “Ah De, after this incident, we have sorted out our thoughts. Even if Jiajia is only a granddaughter, she’s the second most useful person in our family aside from Zhai Hua. So be it that she’s a girl. Xiao Wei’s still my grandson. We cannot go too overboard and treat them unfairly. I’m afraid that Jiajia’s petty, just like her mother. We have been magnanimous enough with Xiao Wei as well.”
Once bitten, twice shy. Zhai Hua had such a huge reaction toward Wei Xiaomei. Now that the relationship between Wei Wei and Wei De has been exposed, Father Wei was worried that Jiajia wouldn’t be able to face Wei Wei the same way as before.
For the future of the Wei family, he could only choose to sacrifice his grandson. Furthermore, over the years, compared to the children from their hometown, Xiao Wei had led a good life and enjoyed the blessings that others couldn’t. This was all thanks to him being a child of the Wei family. They didn’t do anything sorry to Xiao Wei.
“Dad, don’t worry. I understand all of these. I’ve already fallen once. Would I still fall a second time at the same spot? No!” He had already suffered injuries from this one fall. If there was another time, he would really not be able to recover fully.
Jiajia’s temper was best described as ‘the pupil surpassing the master’. Jiajia usually didn’t have any particularly big reactions as no one poked her in the ribs. If Jiajia really became anxious, her temper would only be worse than Zhai Hua’s.
After receiving the Wei family’s call, Wei Wei didn’t look too good. Wei Xiaomei looked uneasy. “Xiao Wei, what did your grandparents say? How’s your dad?” Ever since they returned to their hometown, Wei Xiaomei looked like she had lost her soul.
Although she was the one who proposed to return to her hometown herself, Wei Xiaomei felt that she was at a loss when her closest son was not by her side. But when Wei Wei returned as well, Wei Xiaomei panicked even more. Didn’t she sacrifice so much and suffer so many grievances so that her son could be well?
How well could he be now that he had returned to the countryside?
After that, the mother-son pair stayed in the countryside and waited for a call from Ping Cheng. They wanted to know an answer and wanted to confirm if Wei De had succeeded in getting Zhai Hua back.
Wei Wei snorted coldly. “Mom, don’t think about it. That aunt of mine has a bad temper. For her to forgive my uncle? That’s the funniest joke I’ve ever heard. That call just now was from grandpa. Based on what he’s saying, the both of us have been abandoned. They couldn’t suck up to my aunt, so they’re preparing to lay a hand on Jiajia. You know how much Jiajia used to hate me. In order to please Jiajia, it’s impossible for them to take a look at me again in front of her.”
To think that he was still the precious grandson of the Wei family and the Wei family’s only hope a year ago. Wei Jiajia completely couldn’t compare to him. It was just a few months, and the Wei family didn’t even care about his remaining half a semester of studies and forced him to return to the countryside. It was very likely that he wouldn’t be able to attend the college entrance examination in the end.
Wei Wei had always been highly regarded by the Wei family in the past. Now, he suddenly experienced the feeling of falling into hell. Even a mature adult might not be able to accept such a huge change so quickly, let alone Wei Wei being a young boy who was not even in his twenties yet.
Wei Wei knew that this time, he had really lost his father. What was different was that it wasn’t his father who didn’t want him. He was the one who didn’t want his father. Upon knowing that Zhai Hua wanted a divorce, the Wei family, who knew they had to rely on others to support themselves, felt that Jiajia was a way out and that he was now a pawn that could be discarded.
They still expected him to support them when he grew up in the future? In their dreams.
“Mom, I don’t want to be someone like my aunt. No one from this group of people surnamed Wei is good. They have bullied us for so long and don’t think it’s enough. I don’t think the Zhai family is still willing to bother about them. Jiajia’s not a fool either. When they realize this and are willing to accept this fact, they would definitely look for us to take care of them. Mom, I don’t want to feel vexed by this. If they don’t want me, I don’t want them either. Mom, I’m already a grown-up. I’ll have a way to earn money and support you. Mom, let’s go!”
Wei Wei had changed. He hated the Wei family, especially when they asked him to return to the countryside this time with the excuse of revising so that he could better prepare for the college entrance examination. After this trip, Wei Wei suddenly learned of Wei Xiaomei’s background.
Not only did he have a father, but his mother also had parents. The old village chief was his grandfather. He and a widow had given birth to his mother. The old village chief said that ever since he left his mother at the door of the Wei family and the Wei family adopted his mother, the Wei family started to guess that his mother was the old village chief’s daughter within two days and began to get some benefits from the old village chief.
All these years, the Wei family seemed to be benevolent on the surface. Not only did they raise Wei Xiaomei, but they even let their son marry her. Otherwise, a person like Wei Xiaomei couldn’t have married a young man like Wei De. Even if the Wei family was poor, Wei De was tall and muscular and looked upright.
However, what was the reality?
The old village chief had secretly bought and sent over all the food for Wei Xiaomei to the Wei family. If too many food items were missing at once, how would the old village chief’s wife not find out? She wasn’t blind. Also, the reason why Wei De could become a soldier back then was also because of Wei Xiaomei.
The Wei family had pleaded with the old village chief for help. Back then, for Wei De to become a soldier, his only request was to marry his daughter first. As long as a wedding banquet was held and Wei Xiaomei became Wei De’s woman, he would settle the matter for Wei De without saying another word.
After knowing the truth, Wei Wei was so angry he almost died of anger. It turned out that his ‘uncle’ was a real and thorough scumbag. First, he relied on his mother so that the Wei family could survive during difficult times. Then, he relied on his mother to become a soldier so that he could have the opportunity to meet Zhai Hua.
Zhai Hua wasn’t the first victim. The first victim should be his mother, and he was the second. If one counted seriously, then Zhai Hua could only be considered the third!
Compared to the grievances they suffered, Zhai Hua’s was nothing. All these years, he had spent quite a bit of Zhai Hua’s money, but he didn’t feel that he was in the wrong.
