…
Beicheng.
Jiang Zhiran and Cui Jiadong took their daughter as soon as they got off the train and took the bus to the door of a courtyard. This courtyard is a single-family house, covering an area of about two to three hundred square meters. It is the home of Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou.
“You press the doorbell twice more. Maybe your parents are in the house and don’t hear it.”
Jiang Zhiran pressed the doorbell but could not hear any movement in the yard. Seeing this, Cui Jiadong couldn't help but urge him.
“My parents are probably not at home.”
Although he said this, Jiang Zhiran still followed Cui Jiadong's instructions and pressed the doorbell twice in succession. As a result, he still couldn't hear any sound from inside the door.
“Go to Yan’s house.”
Cui Jiadong had no expression on his face. He said this and turned around to go on his own.
Behind him, Jiang Zhiran bit his lip, holding the suitcase in one hand and his daughter in the other, chasing him quickly.
When
Cui Jiadong's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Today is the weekend. There is no one at your parents' house, not even your grandpa's house. Did they know in advance that we were arriving in Beicheng today, so they all hid early in the morning? out?"
"impossible."
Jiang Zhiran blurted out: "My parents don't know that we are going back to Beicheng."
“Then tell me what happened?”
Cui Jiadong looked at Jiang Zhiran: "Speak!"
"I have no idea."
Jiang Zhiran replied in a low voice.
Suppressing his anger, Cui Jiadong took a deep breath and asked, "Where are we going now?"
“Why don’t you go to Wen’s house!”
The Wen family mentioned by Jiang Zhiran undoubtedly refers to her biological father's home.
“Since you are going over there, why are you standing here?”
Cui Jiadong looked annoyed: "If you hadn't had the brainpower to cut off the relationship with your parents, we could have lived like this!"
Hearing this, Jiang Zhiran said nothing, but she felt extremely aggrieved.
If it weren't for being with him, could she have severed ties with her parents?
Now that you are complaining about her, have you ever thought about her feelings?
Jiang Zhiran's eyes were slightly sore, as if he noticed something was wrong with her mood. Cui Jiadong stopped and turned to look at Jiang Zhiran. Seeing that the other party was about to cry, he couldn't help but feel irritated and scolded: "You are acting like that. To whom? Let me tell you, when you get to the Wen family, you'd better act happy. If your biological father mistakenly thinks that I bullied you, I won't be done with you anymore!"
“I won’t let my dad misunderstand.”
There is no doubt that the "my dad" mentioned by Jiang Zhiran at this time does not refer to the father who has raised her for many years, but her biological father.
"You'd better remember this. If you slip up, you should know the consequences."
Withdrawing his gaze from Jiang Zhiran, Cui Jiadong continued to move forward.
Nearly an hour later, a family of three arrived outside a family compound in the south of the city.
To avoid being stopped by the door, Cui Jiadong, Jiang Zhiran and their daughter Cui Yifei followed a group of people and sneaked into the courtyard.
“Whose children are you from? Why do I look so unfamiliar with you?”
About a hundred meters after walking into the gate of the family courtyard, an elderly aunt asked Jiang Zhiran.
“My father’s surname is Wen.”
Jiang Zhiran responded.
"It turns out he is Director Wen's daughter and son-in-law!" The aunt looked at Jiang Zhiran and Cui Jiadong, then turned her eyes to the little girl Cui Yifei, and then said, "Is this little girl your daughter?"
"Um."
Jiang Zhiran nodded.
The aunt’s surname is Wang, and her home is in the same building as the Wen family. She said, “Xuanlang’s child was raised very sensible by your parents. You haven’t seen that child for many years. Go back and have a look!”
“Then let’s take the first step.”
Jiang Zhiran responded, holding his daughter and suitcase, and followed Cui Jiadong for two quick steps.
After the three of them had gone away, Aunt Wang, who was talking to Jiang Zhiran, said to the old sisters beside her: "I have never seen such cold-blooded parents in all my life."
One of the aunts, an aunt named Li, answered: "You mean the daughter and son-in-law of Director Wen's family?"
“Who else could it be if they weren’t them?!”
Aunt Wang curled her lips: "There is no need to have a child in college. She hurriedly obtained the certificate to get married. After the child was born, she left it to Director Wen and his wife to raise. Unexpectedly, the young couple did not borrow the child after graduating from college. Instead, they did not marry. I went back to the man’s hometown in the first year of my life to develop my career, and I’ve been away for several years…”
"Beicheng is the capital of our country. There's nothing wrong with them. Why go back to their hometown to develop?"
Aunt Li said: "Aunt Wang, what you heard is probably wrong, right?"
"Impossible, I heard it from Director Wen's lover herself."
Aunt Wang's tone was affirmative, and she said: "You also know that Director Wen and his wife have not had a son or a half for many years, and the one we just saw was the one Director Wen had with another woman when he was an educated youth, but It is said that Director Wen did not know about it until he accidentally learned that he had a daughter a few years ago, and Director Wen recognized the child. Because of this, Director Wen's lover seemed to have been in trouble for a long time!"
“I think the young couple seems to be not doing well in their hometown. Most likely they came to seek refuge with Director Wen and want to stay in Beicheng.”
This is the voice of an aunt named Sun.
Aunt Li: “It’s not easy to find a job in Beicheng.”
Aunt Sun: "With Director Wen here, how can he not arrange a job for his daughter and son-in-law?"
"It's not like Director Wen didn't make arrangements earlier, but for some reason, the young couple returned to their hometown to develop their lives." As soon as Aunt Wang said this, Aunt Sun immediately said: "Could something have happened that caused this? My job is gone, so I have to go back to my hometown to develop? "
Hearing this, Aunt Li suddenly clapped her hands: "I think it's probably like this. Otherwise, if you don't have a good job in Beicheng, why bother going back to your hometown?"
Several aunts were gossiping about Jiang Zhiran and his wife and the Wen family while they were walking. At this moment, Jiang Zhiran's family of three had entered the Wen family's door. “Aunt Xue, aren’t my dad and Lang Lang at home?”
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Jiang Zhiran didn't see his biological father and son for a while, so he couldn't help but ask Xue Hong.
“Went to the park for a walk.”
Xue Hong's face was not very good. She asked, "Are you coming to Beicheng for business?"
Xue Hong is disgusted with Jiang Zhiran. The reason is very simple. Her husband gave birth to another woman. To her, he is an evil son and makes her feel disgusted!
What disgusted her even more was Wen Sihan. Her husband actually kept the child born to Jiang Zhiran in their home because she could not give birth. To be honest, every time she heard the child call her grandma, she felt extremely sick. answer!
Several years have passed, and she thought that Jiang Zhiran would never appear in their family's life again. Who will tell her now, how could someone who had been away from Beicheng for several years suddenly appear in front of her again?
“Aunt Xue, we...”
Jiang Zhiran was about to say that her family wanted to live in Beicheng, but Cui Jiadong interrupted her: "Wen Miao, Feifei has been shouting for water on the road, why don't you give the child a glass of water first."
The reason why he interrupted Jiang Zhiran was that Cui Jiadong had noticed a few years ago that the cheap mother-in-law in front of him didn't like Jiang Zhiran at all. In order to prevent the other party from directly blocking their way to stay in Beicheng, Cui Jiadong could only choose to take a different path. Start a topic.
As for calling Jiang Zhiran "Wen Miao", on the one hand, Jiang Zhiran changed the name on the household registration book a few years ago, and on the other hand, he is now in the Wen family. If he calls Jiang Zhiran by his original nickname "Ranran" as he is used to, he will I felt it was inappropriate and felt that this would distance Jiang Zhiran from the Wen family.
“I’m going to give Feifei some water.”
Her daughter shouted for water after getting off the train. Therefore, Jiang Zhiran didn't think much about Cui Jiadong's words. She stood up and planned to go to the kitchen, but she heard Xue Hong said: "Sit down and don't move."
She endured her impatience and drank more than half a cup of warm water in a disposable paper cup from the water dispenser, then put it on the coffee table with a sullen face.
“Grandma! Grandpa and I are back!”
The childish voice of a little boy came from outside the door, and then, an old man and a young man walked into the living room.
"dad!"
As soon as Cui Jiadong saw Wen Sihan, he immediately stood up and said hello.
Jiang Zhiran called after him, and when he saw the couple, Wen Sihan was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you want to do in Beicheng?" There was no emotion on his face. He touched the top of his grandson Wen Xuanlang's hair and said, "Go back to your room. Do your homework and grandpa will check on you later."
The little boy nodded, but his eyes fell on Jiang Zhiran, Cui Jiadong, and the little girl Cui Yifei full of curiosity.
Seeing his grandson standing motionless, Wen Sihan couldn't help but touched his head again and said, "Go."
At this moment, Cui Jiadong said: "Dad, Lang Lang has grown so tall!" Before Wen Sihan could say anything, Cui Jiadong lowered his gaze to his son: "Lang Lang, I am dad, are these your mother and sister! "
Wen Xuanlang's eyes widened: "Is it true? My grandfather said that my parents are far away. If you are my parents, why don't you show up in front of me now?"
He is already a first-grade child, and he is not one of those kids in kindergarten who will not be easily deceived!
Cui Jiadong wanted to explain, but Wen Sihan looked over and had to swallow his words.
“Go back to your room and do your homework!”
Wen Sihan emphasized his tone.
Wen Xuanlang: "Oh." He could tell that his grandfather was unhappy. If he didn't leave, he might get angry. Therefore, even if he had doubts about what Cui Jiadong said, the child still returned to the room without looking back.
"Follow me to the study." This was what Wen Sihan said to Cui Jiadong. Hearing this, Cui Jiadong nodded: "Okay."
Jiang Zhiran and his daughter are still staying in the living room.
Xue Hong sat on the sofa and watched TV, ignoring Jiang Zhiran and completely treating Jiang Zhiran and her daughter as nothing.
To be honest, Jiang Zhiran was quite frightened of Xue Hong, and he was no more relaxed in front of Wen Sihan than in front of Jiang Yihong.
In fact, this is easy to understand. Relying on the love of Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou, her parents, she is confident that she can act in front of them. As for whether Wen Sihan, the cheap biological father, has feelings for her, Jiang Zhiran is not stupid, so how can he do it? Can't feel it?
But in order to be with Cui Jiadong, she needed the support of an elder behind her, so she chose to meet her biological father Wen Sihan regardless of her decision to break off her relationship with Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou.
From this, it is not difficult to infer that Wen Sihan, as his biological father, has no feelings for her, let alone how kind his father's wife can be to her?
The only sound in the living room was from the TV series playing on the TV. Jiang Zhiran felt very uncomfortable being treated indifferently by Xue Hong. She bit her lip and said, "Aunt Xue, I'll take Feifei to Lang Lang's room to have a look."
"What's there to see? The child is doing homework, are you going to disturb him?"
Xue Hong glanced at Jiang Zhiran and said, "If you think you can't stay here, you can go outside for a walk."
"I…"
Jiang Zhiran looked uncomfortable, and after a long while, he didn't say another word.
Study.
"...This is what happened. This time Miaomiao and I brought Feifei to Beicheng. It was a forced decision. If you don't help us gain a foothold in Beicheng, you will force us to die."
After telling the half-truth and half-lie about the purpose of coming to Beicheng this time, Cui Jiadong simply added the phrase "moral kidnapping" at the end to prevent Wen Sihan from being unkind and asked him and Jiang Zhiran to take their daughter back to the small county town where they were born.
“Are you forcing me to solve your work problems in Beicheng?”
Wen Sihan's face was extremely ugly: "Didn't I help you when you graduated from college? It was you who got into trouble yourself and lost your job. After a few years, you now ask me to help you and arrange arrangements for your wife. Work, are you trying to convince me?"
“Dad, don’t speak so harshly! You are an elder and Miaomiao’s biological father, and Miaomiao and I are husband and wife. We are now in trouble. Who else can we turn to if we don’t ask you for help?”
Cui Jiadong looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water. He said: "You must never ask us to go to the Jiang family for help. Back then, if Miaomiao didn't want to get to know you and make you happy, she wouldn't He will make the decision to cut off his relationship with his parents who have raised him for many years.
Dad, Miao Miao’s heart is towards you, and for the parents who have raised her for many years, Miao Miao’s act of breaking off her relationship and changing her name is undoubtedly something that only a white-eyed wolf can do. Now, how do you want her and us to appear in front of her parents who have raised her for many years?
Besides, Dad, you don’t want Miaomiao and I to talk nonsense in our family home, right? If those gossiping aunts in the family compound find out that you actually don't care about Miaomiao at all, you don't love Miaomiao as your daughter, you just want the grandson Miaomiao gave you to take care of you in the future, do you think that's okay? "
It's not that Cui Jiadong didn't want to ask Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou for help immediately, but he knew very well that based on what Jiang Zhiran had done that year, Jiang Yihong would never let go easily and recognize Jiang Zhiran as his daughter.
Since he doesn't recognize his daughter, he naturally doesn't care whether she can live in Beicheng.
Based on this, Cui Jiadong thought twice after coming to the Wen family and chose to stick to the Wen family first. Even if Wen Sihan could not arrange jobs for him and Jiang Zhiran, at least they could eat and live in the Wen family for free.
From now on, he will think of more ways to let Jiang Zhiran get in touch with the Jiang family and soften the attitude of the Jiang family step by step, especially the attitude of his father-in-law named Jiang and his mother-in-law Zhenger Bajing!
Anyway, don’t think about kicking this hypocritical and cheap father-in-law in front of you, Jiang Zhiran, and their daughter out of the house!
“Are you threatening me?”
Wen Sihan slapped his hand on the desk and glared at Cui Jiadong.
“How dare I?”
Then catch the insects. . .
