If it really came to that point, Zhai Hua would never forgive Wei De no matter what he said, even if she was killed and he refused to acknowledge Wei Wei as his son. Zhai Hua’s attitude would decide the Wei family’s fate. As such, they could not afford to offend Zhai Hua.
Wei De had thought about Wei Xiaomei’s worries too.
He had not been as bold as he was now when he had just gotten married to Zhai Hua. Even though Zhai Hua had been willing to bring Wei Xiaomei over from the countryside to live with them in Ping Cheng out of sympathy, Wei De had immediately rejected her suggestion, saying that Wei Xiaomei was used to the life in the countryside and would not be able to adapt to living in a city like Ping Cheng. He told Zhai Hua that there was no point in doing such a thing out of kindness since it would end up hurting Wei Xiaomei.
But when Wei De saw Zhai Hua treating Wei Wei like her own biological son, he gradually became bolder and eventually brought Wei Xiaomei over to Ping Cheng. After all, no matter how good Zhai Hua treated Wei Wei, she did not really see him as her son. How could an ‘auntie’ compare to a biological mother?
In terms of taking care of Wei Wei, Wei De had more faith in Wei Xiaomei than Zhai Hua.
After today’s incident, Wei De’s courage immediately dissipated, and he was just as meek as he had been when he had just gotten married. All he wanted was to send Wei Xiaomei as far as possible, as soon as possible. “Don’t worry. Once you return to the village, I’ll send you three thousand yuan every month. If you need anything or need any money, you can contact me. I’ll just wire more money over.”
Instructing Wei Xiaomei to return to the countryside was not entirely disregarding Wei Xiaomei’s opinion. As a village girl, Wei Xiaomei was much more understanding and was much more outstanding than Zhai Hua in this aspect. Wei De was softhearted toward such a good woman like this, and he wanted her to lead a good life.
Initially, Wei Xiaomei had not planned on accepting the living allowance of three thousand yuan. After all, she did not have many expenses while living in the countryside. Eventually, she decided to accept it. Firstly, Wei De was her man. It was only right for him to provide her with a monthly living allowance. If she did not need it, she could always save it up. In another ten years’ time, she would be able to present her son with a gift of thirty thousand yuan!
Secondly, why would she refuse Wei De’s money? Wei De’s money was also Zhai Hua’s money. Wei De’s salary as a soldier was rather meager, and the Wei family had expenses to pay. All these expenses added up to quite a significant sum over the span of a month. It was definitely higher than Wei De’s wage as a soldier.
In other words, it had only been because Zhai Hua had been chipping in that the Wei family had been able to lead such carefree lives. In that way, the three thousand yuan that Wei Xiaomei got was not from Wei De but Zhai Hua.
Wei Xiaomei was willing to give in without a bottom line for her son’s sake, but that did not mean that she had no opinions of Zhai Hua. Even while giving in, Wei Xiaomei had always thought of using such alternative ways of getting back at Zhai Hua.
“All right. Your injuries aren’t so serious. Take this card and leave today.” Since they had already formulated a plan, Wei De did not want to waste even a single minute. The earlier he chased Wei Xiaomei away, the better he would be able to prove his ‘disdain’ toward Wei Xiaomei. In that way, he should be able to appease Zhai Hua so that she would let this matter slide, right?
Looking at the bank card on the table, Wei Xiaomei’s pupils constricted for a moment, but she obediently accepted the card. “Brother, I’ll take my leave then. I… I won’t visit Xiao Wei, in case Sister Zhai Hua makes life difficult for Xiao Wei in the future. Brother, you have to guide Xiao Wei well and improve his relationship with Sister Zhai Hua.”
Not being able to meet her son one last time before leaving was the cruelest thing to Wei Xiaomei. Wei Xiaomei was unsure of how her son would react upon hearing about this incident. She could only hope that her son would be rational and act wisely in front of Zhai Hua and her daughter.
No pain, no gain.
As long as they could tide through this arduous period, all their efforts would be worth it once her son became established.
Wei De’s tone was gentle. “Don’t worry. I know what to do. Xiao Wei is a smart kid. I believe he’ll understand our pains and know what to do. Once you leave, don’t worry about what goes on in Ping Cheng. I’ll deal with it myself.”
As long as Wei Xiaomei left and without this source of anger for Zhai Hua, everything would be much easier to handle.
Wei Xiaomei had proposed this idea herself, but Wei De’s eagerness to see her leave upset Wei Xiaomei. This time, Wei Xiaomei was much more decisive in taking the bank card.
Wei Xiaomei knew that all the money in this card was Wei De’s money that he had saved up secretly behind Zhai Hua’s back. After she took this sum of money, given Wei De’s character of having no sense of security without money, she was sure that Wei De would find an excuse to recover this sum of money from Zhai Hua.
Zhai Hua was the reason she could not acknowledge her husband and could not even visit her son. Her family had been ruined by Zhai Hua. All she had done was made Zhai Hua fork out a little money. She had gotten the short end of the stick!
The moment Wei Xiaomei got on the bus to leave Ping Cheng, she sent a text message to Wei De. Upon receiving the text message, Wei De, who had been tense the whole time, finally let out a smile. “I hope that everything will be resolved well now that Xiaomei has left.”
Since Xiaomei had left, he could answer to Zhai Hua. Zhai Hua would not be so unreasonable to not forgive him, right?
Wei De felt that everything would be solved easily now that Wei Xiaomei had left. The problem was that while he was dealing with Wei Xiaomei’s problem, Zhai Hua had already decided to meet with the Zhai family. Moreover, with the Zhai family’s help, she had already gotten a DNA test done on Wei Wei and Wei De.
“Have you really thought it through this time?” Knowing that Zhai Hua had been bullied so badly by Wei De, Zhai Sheng was infuriated. Even the rational Zhai Sheng had the impulse to kill someone.
Zhai Hua laughed cynically. “Yes, I have. I think if I haven’t made up my mind by now, the person you guys would be angry at would not be Wei De but me. Even if you don’t kill me, you would want to open my skull up to check if I have a brain at all.”
Zhai Sheng harrumphed, implying that Zhai Hua seemed to understand her own situation well. “Since you’ve already thought it through, I’ll help you handle everything. The bail procedures are almost done. Bring Jiajia home. Oh right, I guess you’ll want custody of Jiajia?”
“Of course.” Her marriage to Wei De had been like a nightmare. The only saving grace was her daughter, Jiajia.
