Chapter 1860: Don’t Be Happy Too Early
“On the contrary, you have to remember that our family can’t do without Zhai Hua. Treat Zhai Hua and Jiajia better in the future. For us, there’s still Xiao Wei. However, in Zhai Hua’s heart, she only has Jiajia.”
They were mothers. Why couldn’t they understand the mindset of a mother?
One could treat oneself badly. However, if one treated one’s own child badly, every mother in the world would feel angry. Women might not get a divorce for the sake of their children. However, it was possible for them to get a divorce for their children as well.
Her son agreed with what Father Wei said and no longer supported her words like before. What else could Mother Wei do? She could ignore Father Wei, but she couldn’t ignore her son’s emotions and thoughts. “So what you’re saying is that after Zhai Hua returns, not only can I not help our son, but I must also please that old woman Zhai Hua and treat the money-losing daughter Jiajia well?”
Just thinking about it made Mother Wei feel uncomfortable all over, let alone doing it. She had a grandson. Why should she treat the money-losing granddaughter well instead of her grandson?
Father Wei didn’t reply to Mother Wei. He knew that Mother Wei would not listen to anyone else’s words but their son’s. As such, he only had to persuade their son and he would take care of Mother Wei. “Ah De, I didn’t mean to deliberately say bad things on such a festive day. You were a person who had survived step by step. Before you married Zhai Hua, how cautious were you? You have to understand my ultimate goal is not to make you treat Zhai Hua and Jiajia well. I just don’t want any accident that will cost you your life goals to happen. We can’t go too overboard for certain things. Ah De, if you destroy your relationship, have you thought of what else you have in your hands to keep Zhai Hua around?”
Wei De rubbed his face and stood up. “Dad, Mom, I’ll go to the washroom to wash my face. Wait for me.”
“Don’t be anxious. I’ll get you some warm water.” Mother Wei stood up and wanted to serve her son. Wei De shook his head and said, “It’s fine. I only want to use cold water to wash my face.”
Only then could he have some peace and quiet.
Wei Xiaomei stood anxiously, not daring to sit. She always felt that Father Wei knew that these were her thoughts.
Father Wei looked at the ‘daughter’ she had raised since young. “Xiaomei, don’t be afraid. Find a stool and take a seat. I don’t have any bad intentions. I just want to remind you that we shouldn’t think that no one knows what happens in one’s own home. One can never be too careful. If Zhai Hua finds out about this, what should we do? Have you thought about this?”
If Zhai Hua knew about Xiao Wei’s true identity, they were worried that Zhai Hua would definitely not accept it and that she would separate from Wei De. Moreover, if Zhai Hua knew that after marrying Wei De for so many years, Wei Xiaomei, who came over to live together with them, had fooled around with Wei De and in the house that she paid for, how would Zhai Hua feel?
“You were brought up by our Wei family. Xiaomei, it could be said that our Wei family didn’t let you down. Don’t hurt Ah De because of your little thoughts. You have to know that if that accident really happens, you will not only hurt Ah De in the end but also Wei Wei. The Zhai family had promoted Ah De. The Zhai family is also absolutely capable of pulling Ah De down. Without Ah De, what are you and Xiao Wei left with?”
Some things had to be restrained after knowing that it was all thanks to Zhai Hua. Wasn’t it just a man?
When Ah De married Zhai Hua, not only did Xiao Mei lose a man by her side, but her son was also fetched away. During the first three to four years, Xiaomei was pretty wise. She stayed quiet and didn’t kick up a fuss. When she thought of her son, she never said anything about wanting to fetch him back or raise him by her side.
It was a pity that she started to become jealous at this age. Father Wei couldn’t comprehend Wei Xiaomei’s change. This was the rhythm of going bad to worst.
“Xiaomei is Ah De’s wife to begin with. They should be together. Why should she pay attention?” Mother Wei said. She wasn’t helping Wei Xiaomei but her own son. “I haven’t said anything about Zhai Hua, that old woman, being older than Xiao Mei. Her temper is worse than Xiaomei’s as well. She doesn’t look like a wife at all. She doesn’t serve Ah De well, yet she refuses to let someone else do the job for her?”
Father Wei glared at her. “Sure, if you want to say it that way, you can treat whatever I said just now as nonsense. I didn’t say a single word, so you don’t have to remember anything either. Don’t find me if anything happens in the future. I’ve already tried my best!”
He was already trying his best to save everything before anything happened. Who knew that the woman he married didn’t have any brains and still dared to be so barbaric?
Wei De, who had finished washing his face with cold water, was on Father Wei’s side this time around. “Dad, don’t be angry. I’ve thought about it. You’re right. Actually, ever since Zhai Hua married me, her temper has improved. However, Zhai Hua is still Zhai Hua. If she knows about me and Xiaomei, regardless of whether it was in the past or now, Zhai Hua would never forgive me and would definitely get a divorce. Zhai Hua is not alone. She still has the Zhai family as backing. The Zhai family wasn’t happy that she married me back then. I’m sure they would be more than happy now if Zhai Hua wants a divorce. Once the Zhai family interferes in this matter, Zhai Hua and I would definitely be getting a divorce. It would be useless even if we put Jiajia in the picture then.”
His father was right. He couldn’t leave Zhai Hua. Even if he really completed his life goal and became a regiment commander, he similarly couldn’t divorce Zhai Hua. It wasn’t easy to climb up the ranks. He had to continue to be in that position until Wei Wei grew up and was qualified to take his position. Before that, he couldn’t lose Zhai Hua.
Otherwise, regardless of how he climbed up to the position of a regiment commander, he would definitely fall from it within three years.
“In this lifetime until death, my wife can only be Zhai Hua alone. Otherwise, all my hard work and efforts over the years would be in vain. Wei Wei wouldn’t have a bright future either.” For himself, his son, and his family, he had to hold on to Zhai Hua tightly.
Only then did Father Wei feel better in his heart. “Ah De, it’s good that you understand. All these years, you and your mom were too overboard. I knew that the both of you wouldn’t listen to me no matter what I said before. Today is quite a good opportunity. Ah De, think about it. Before you married Zhai Hua back then, what thoughts and attitude did you have toward her? It doesn’t mean that everything would be going well after you married her. After marriage, there’s still the possibility of a divorce.”
