Li Xu glared at him, “If I wasn’t willing, why would I mention this to you for no reason?”
She hadn’t noticed it before, but this time, when her in-laws came over, Li Xu suddenly realized they were really old and should consider the problem of retirement.
Logically speaking, he was the eldest, so he should shoulder the responsibility of providing for the elderly.
In the countryside, it was customary for the eldest to take care of the elderly.
It was just that their family’s situation was special. In addition, the two elders had been helping Zhang Jun take care of the child in their hometown all these years.
Therefore, Zhang Kun was too embarrassed to discuss this matter with Li Xu.
Now that Li Xu took the initiative to bring it up, Zhang Kun was so touched that he was about to cry.
“Of course, I really think so. I was still thinking if we should change to a bigger house and change to an elevator room.” Li Xu said in a low voice.
“Change houses?” Zhang Kun was a little surprised.
“If we bring both parents over, we’ll definitely have to change to elevator. Otherwise, their knees won’t be able to withstand climbing up and down the stairs. Besides, now that Zi’ang’s career has improved and his legs can recover, the money we have is useless. Why don’t we buy a house?”
“I’ll listen to you.” Zhang Kun only hesitated for a moment before nodding.
“Then you should take some time to discuss with your parents and Zhang Jun.” Li Xu said.
Zhang Kun sighed and hugged Li Xu’s shoulder, “It’s my fortune to be able to marry you.”
Li Xu raised her hand and patted his back, “Who said that? Meeting you is my blessing.”
However, Wang Yuechu and Zhang Dali had lived in the countryside for most of their lives. Their relatives and friends were all in the countryside, so they were not very willing to live in the city.
It was okay if they stayed there for ten days or half a month occasionally, but if they really stayed for a long time, they would definitely not be used to it.
Zhang Jun also disagreed.
After all, when the two elders were young, they had always helped them with their work. Now that they were old, it was really unfair for their eldest brother to be responsible for their retirement.
No matter how Zhang Kun tried to persuade them, the three of them refused.
Seeing that the two elders were really unwilling to live in the city, Zhang Kun could only give up on this idea.
Wang Yuechu and Zhang Dali stayed in the city for more than half a month. Li Xu and Zhang Kun personally sent them back to the countryside.
Zhang Jun and Hao Meiting had already known that they would be back today. They had prepared a table of dishes early and were waiting for them to come back.
It was summer vacation, and Wenwen and Shuoshuo were both there.
Seeing Zhang Kun and the others return, the two children politely went forward and helped them carry their things.
Wenwen was already a twenty-year-old girl, and Shuoshuo was almost in his third year of high school. He was already a big boy.
However, Zhang Yao and Wei Zhenghao were nowhere to be seen.
During dinner, they found out that Zhang Yao and Wei Zhenghao had been fighting.
Zhang Yao was hiding from Wei Zhenghao, and Wei Zhenghao was looking for her everywhere.
Wang Yuechu and Zhang Dali didn’t want to care about Zhang Yao’s rebellion.
Li Xu and Zhang Kun stayed at home for a day and then returned to the Li family for another day. They didn’t see Zhang Yao until they left.
Two months later, news of Zhang Yao’s remarriage came from her family.
This news left everyone dumbfounded.
No one expected Zhang Yao to remarry.
However, Ji Yuanyuan was now a mother and could understand Zhang Yao’s actions.
In the past, although she didn’t have any feelings for Wei Zhenghao anymore, she still had to continue living with him for the sake of her child’s normal family.
Now, Wenwen had already been admitted to a good university and was about to graduate in two years.
So, Zhang Yao also wanted to live for herself once, right?
She heard that the other party was the same age as Zhang Yao and had a daughter at home. His wife had passed away from cancer a few years ago.
It sounded like a good partner.
The only victim of this incident was Wei Zhenghao.
However, because of what Wei Zhenghao had done when he was young, Ji Yuanyuan could not sympathize with him.
It had been more than half a month since Ji Yuanyuan started school. She had been promoted to the second year of postgraduate studies while Cao Xiaorui had been promoted to the third year of postgraduate studies.
The days passed peacefully from autumn to winter.
After Christmas, Wu Qiuyun suddenly informed Ji Yuanyuan and Cao Xiaorui that Zhou Hua’s trial would be held in two days, and Duan Wenguang’s parents had already come over in advance. They wanted to treat them to dinner in the evening to thank them for their help.
Since Duan Wenguang’s parents were treating, Ji Yuanyuan and Cao Xiaorui had no reason to refuse, so they agreed.
It was about six o’clock in the evening. When Ji Yuanyuan went over, Duan Wenguang’s parents and Wu Qiuyun were already waiting at the door.
Compared to the last time they met, Father Duan and Mother Duan looked much more presentable this time.
However, the two of them looked even more haggard than in the summer.
After losing their son, they must have had an especially difficult time during this period of time.
Almost everyone had arrived. Wu Qiuyun suggested, “Let’s go in first. It’s too cold outside. It’s not good for you to stay outside in the wind.”
Hearing this, Father Duan hurriedly helped Mother Duan into the hotel.
Ji Yuanyuan followed behind and felt something was wrong.
But soon, she was interrupted by Cao Xiaorui’s phone call.
Cao Xiaorui had arrived, but she couldn’t find the way.
Under Ji Yuanyuan’s guidance, they arrived five minutes later.
Duan Wenguang’s parents, although their conditions were not very good, were very generous to Ji Yuanyuan and the others.
When ordering, they always ordered expensive dishes.
Although Wu Qiuyun had been trying to stop them, she could not stop their enthusiasm.
Wu Qiuyun had no choice but to let them go. Then, she gave Ji Yuanyuan a look.
Ji Yuanyuan understood Wu Qiuyun’s meaning. After eating a few mouthfuls, she used the excuse of going to the bathroom to pay the bill.
When Duan Wenguang’s father went to settle the bill, he discovered that the bill had already been settled.
The few of them pulled at the door for a long time before they sent the couple into a taxi.
When they got into the car, Father Duan carefully protected Mother Duan.
After the taxi left, Cao Xiaorui sighed to Ji Yuanyuan, “I didn’t expect Uncle to be such a gentleman. If it were my father, he would definitely not open the door for my mother.”
Ji Yuanyuan felt that Duan Wenguang’s parents were not quite right when they first met.
However, she could not figure out what was wrong.
Until Wu Qiuyun said that Duan Wenguang’s mother was pregnant.
Ji Yuanyuan was enlightened.
Mother Duan’s every move was too careful. Her hand almost never left her stomach.
She was once pregnant, so she was very familiar with Mother Duan’s behavior.
Cao Xiaorui was in disbelief, “What? She is pregnant?”
Mother Duan was at least forty-five years old this year.
Why was she pregnant again at such an old age?
“She’s obviously not in a good mood either. Can she take care of the baby?” Cao Xiaorui muttered.
Wu Qiuyun sighed, “They used the compensation money given by the school for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)..”
