The courtyard where Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou live is relatively quiet, and these courtyards are basically single-family courtyards. Those who can live here have quite good family conditions. At this time, there are not many pedestrians in the alley outside the courtyard. The whole alley seemed a little empty.
“Mom, is it grandpa who doesn’t let us in?”
Little girl Cui Yifei’s soft and soft milky voice suddenly sounded.
"…Um."
Looking down at her daughter, Jiang Zhiran was silent for a moment, and she nodded lightly.
"why?"
Little girl Cui Yifei asked.
“Because... because my mother has done something wrong before.”
Jiang Zhiran hesitated, but finally gave the answer.
“Did mom admit her mistake to grandpa?”
Little girl Cui Yifei raised her little head and looked at her mother intently. Jiang Zhiran felt bitter in her mouth when she heard this. She said, "Your grandpa doesn't want to talk to mom."
“What should we do?”
Frowned her little brows, little girl Cui Yifei's face was full of distress.
“We’ll wait here.”
Jiang Zhiran squeezed her daughter's hand tightly and stared at the familiar courtyard door in front of her, feeling all kinds of feelings welling up in her heart.
…
“Who’s ringing the doorbell?”
In the main room, Yan Rou was sitting on the bedside. She saw Jiang Yihong entering the room alone. There was no other person behind him for a while, so she couldn't help but ask.
“I don’t know, I’m looking for the wrong place.”
Jiang Yihong answered.
“You don’t look right.”
Obviously, Yan Rou did not believe what Jiang Yihong said. She covered her mouth and coughed twice, and said, "We have been married for many years, and I can still tell whether what you say is true or false."
“An irrelevant person, you don’t need to think too much about it.”
Jiang Yihong brought the warm white wine on the table to Yan Rou: "The temperature is right. Take a few sips."
Taking the water glass from his hand, Yan Rou only took a sip and stopped drinking. She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Yihong: "I want to hear the truth."
Jiang Yihong understood what she was referring to and couldn't help but sigh secretly and responded: "It's Zhiran."
Hearing this, Yan Rou was stunned for a moment. After a long time, she asked: "What is she doing here?" As the voice fell, she couldn't help but cough several times.
“Unclear.”
Jiang Yihong shook his head.
“You didn’t ask?”
Yan Rou’s eyes showed confusion.
“I frankly say that she has nothing to do with this family.”
After raising him for many years, he believed that he had fully fulfilled his responsibilities as a father and given him enough love and care as a father. What was the result? Not only did the daughter he raised yell in front of his face, he even proposed to sever the relationship...
He was just doing it for her own good. He didn’t want her to be cheated or suffer. What bad intentions did he have?
As for being treated so ruthlessly by the children you raised?
And he doesn’t even have the most basic respect. To say he’s not chilling is definitely a lie!
Jiang Yihong sat on the chair nearby, with a calm expression on his face, and said: "No matter what you think or how you want to do it, I know that child... I will never recognize her again. After all, I am nothing in her heart." , and she also severed ties with me and changed her biological father's surname. In this case, I don't think there is any need to get involved. "
"Who do you think I am? Yes, I still remember that she was born to me, but she did great things back then, so naturally I won't let her come into this family again to make you angry."
It should be mentioned here that Jiang Zhiran and Cui Jiadong arrived in Beicheng with their daughter Cui Yifei that day. The reason why they could not see Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou, nor Yan's father, Jiang Zhiran's grandfather and Yan Rou's father, stems from the fact that that day It’s the day Yan’s father is buried.
Due to the ten years he spent in the countryside, Yan's father suffered a lot of physical damage. Even though he later resumed work and returned to the city to recuperate, his health was fundamentally broken. It does not mean that he can be completely restored to health through conditioning and treatment.
Therefore, more than a year ago, Yan’s father went to the hospital from time to time. After undergoing surgery and medication, he finally died of illness at the age of 75.
Speaking of which, before Lin He came to the hospital, Yan's father looked at all the relatives gathered around his hospital bed. He didn't see Jiang Zhiran, so he couldn't help but murmured "Ranran".
At that moment, Yan Rou felt sad and angry.
What makes her sad is that her father once loved her eldest daughter Zhi Ran so much, but her eldest daughter has abandoned all their relatives for a man, and even severed ties with them, and wants to be with that man. Not only She didn't listen to their parents, not even her grandfather who loved her.
Go your own way and leave them decisively!
But before he passed away, her father still chanted her daughter Zhiran’s nickname, and chanted that unscrupulous nickname...
She was sad and angry. What she was sad and angry about was that she gave birth to a white-eyed wolf. Since she cut off relations with her family, she had no contact with their family. Several years passed without a single phone call. Until her father was critically ill, he called her, but But he reached out to her and asked for money, asking for 20,000 yuan.
Having such a daughter, how can she not be angry and feel sad at the same time?
She doesn’t care about family ties, has no family in her heart, is a ruthless and unjust person, how could she have the face to show up outside her door today?
“Why did she suddenly return to Beicheng?”
Jiang Yihong frowned, as if asking himself or Yan Rou.
“You didn’t get any money from me, or you thought you could get it by coming to the door in person.” Hearing what Yan Rou said, Jiang Yihong was silent for a moment and then said, “I didn’t see her husband.”
“She is such a big person, and she can’t be lost by train from G City. Naturally, Cui Jiadong won’t go with her.”
Yan Rou responded casually.
"Do you think Cui Jiadong can rest assured that she will go back to Beicheng alone? What's more, she is holding a four or five-year-old girl in her hand. If she never returns to G City, it will not be a good thing for Cui Jiadong, and he will definitely be reluctant to part with it."
Jiang Yihong saw Cui Jiadong through and concluded that the other party regarded Jiang Zhiran as a tool and wanted to use Jiang Zhiran to make a soft meal and achieve success through shortcuts.
Rather than really liking Jiang Zhiran.
Based on this consideration, Jiang Yihong was not optimistic about Cui Jiadong and strongly asked Jiang Zhiran to break up with him, lest he kick Jiang Zhiran away after Cui Jiadong became successful in his career and felt that Jiang Zhiran had no use value.
Now, several years have passed. I thought that with the support of Jiang Zhiran's biological father, I would be able to succeed. As a result, I lost my job in Beicheng and had to run back to my hometown to seek development. But now Jiang Zhiran suddenly appeared in Beicheng again. In Jiang Yihong's view, Cui Jiadong has almost lost his job in Beicheng. Eighty percent of the time he spent in his hometown had accomplished nothing, so he encouraged Jiang Zhiran to come to Beicheng, hoping to find a new chance of life.
With his thoughts turning to this, Jiang Yihong continued: "I guess Cui Jiadong must be hiding in the dark to see if we will open the door and let the little girl into the house."
Jiang Yihong didn't even want to mention the name "Jiang Zhiran". He wasn't heartless, but he felt chills when he thought of it, let alone mentioned it on his lips.
…”
Yan Rou was silent for a moment and asked: "If... if one day Ranran realizes that Cui Jiadong is not a good person and files for divorce from Cui Jiadong, will you still accept this daughter?"
"She changed her name to Wenmiao the moment she left the divorce letter." Jiang Yihong didn't see anything strange on his face. He said, "I am very content with Zhiyin and Zhiyan." He has a daughter and a son. , the two siblings are both sensible and filial, and they cannot accept the appearance of a ruthless and unjust daughter in this family.
“…Yes, she has already changed her name. Her name is Wenmiao, not Zhiran, and her surname is not Jiang!”
Yan Rou smiled bitterly and couldn't help but feel a throbbing pain in her heart.
It was obviously the child she had worked so hard to give birth to, and if it hadn't been for the husband in front of her, it would have been difficult to keep the child in her belly. However, they had raised the child for many years, but what they got in exchange was that they were cut off without mercy, and it was even cheaper to pick him up. Ready-made dog man!
The room was quiet for a while. Jiang Yihong and Yan Rou were each thinking about their own thoughts, and no one said anything again.
…
Jiang Zhiran waited outside the courtyard gate for about half an hour. Seeing that there was no movement in the courtyard, she knew that her trip was in vain. She knew that even if she screamed outside, her parents who once loved her would He would not open the courtyard door and let her into the house.
She felt aggrieved, but Jiang Zhiran knew very well that freezing three feet didn't last in a day. If she hadn't hurt her family again and again for Cui Jiadong, and even decided to break off the relationship, change her name, and go to recognize her biological father, she wouldn't be loved today. Years of rejection from her parents.
Dejected, Jiang Zhiran led his daughter out of the alley, and then took the bus to find Jiang Li.
“I’m going to the main hall to meet her. Do you want to come with her or continue to sit here and read?”
Hearing Mrs. Xu say that Jiang Zhiran came here with his daughter, Jiang Li was slightly startled at first, then closed the book in his hand and put it on the small round table next to the rocking chair.
She looked at the man sitting on the other rocking chair and stood up as she spoke.
“Let’s go together and listen to what she has to say.”
Luo Yanqing also closed the book, stood up and put it on the small round table. He said, "Since we broke off the relationship back then, what can we do to restore it now?" Jiang Zhiran has recently either gone to see Lao Jiang's family in person, or over the phone. After contacting Lao Jiang's family, she followed Cui Jiadong's teachings, not only admitting her mistake but also betraying her misfortune, hoping to make Lao Jiang's family soften and help her speak well in front of her parents who had been severely hurt by her and re-accept her as a daughter.
This matter naturally spread to Jiang Li's ears, and Luo Yanqing was resting at home, so he undoubtedly heard about it together.
According to his character, he doesn't care about anything that has nothing to do with work or his lover. But now his lover is leaving to meet his grandniece who has a love brain. Naturally, he has to follow and meet the love brain. How serious is it.
“Are you sure you want to go together?”
Jiang Li asked.
Luo Yanqing nodded lightly.
Jiang Li laughed casually and said, "I find that your temperament seems to have changed a lot over the years after marriage."
"Have it?"
Luo Yanqing raised his eyebrows.
The couple are obviously old, but they are still handsome and beautiful when they walk together, and they fully reflect the elegance and calmness that the years have accumulated in them.
“In the past, except for work, you looked at everything with indifference.”
Jiang Li spoke with a smile. After hearing her words, Luo Yanqing denied it: "That's not right."
“What’s wrong?”
Jiang Li was puzzled.
“You know what my eyes look like when I face you.”
Luo Yanqing said with a slight smile on his lips.
Hearing this, Jiang Li pretended to be confused: "I don't know." How old is this person? He still romances her like a young boy. It's true!
Luo Yanqing smiled and shook his head, but didn't say anything else.
The main hall of the front yard.
Jiang Zhiran was drinking tea when she saw Jiang Li and Luo Yanqing walking in. She was stunned for a moment, put down the tea, and stood up to call them.
“Sit down and talk.”
Jiang Li had a calm expression on his face and pointed to the chair behind Jiang Zhiran, gesturing for her to sit down.
However, Jiang Zhiran turned his attention to his daughter at this moment: "Feifei, call someone quickly!"
Little girl Cui Yifei tilted her head and looked at Jiang Li curiously for a while, then she called Jiang Li in a Nuo voice and called Luo Yanqing as her mother called on the road.
“This child is so good!”
As Jiang Li spoke, he waved the little girl to him and asked, "How old are you? Have you gone to kindergarten?"
Little girl Cui Yifei answered one by one.
Jiang Li looked gentle, picked up the little girl and sat on his lap, then moved the realization towards Jiang Zhiran: "How have you been these past few years?"
"…good."
There was a hint of hesitation in Jiang Zhiran's eyes, and after a moment, she nodded lightly.
“What’s the matter with you coming here today?”
Jiang Li broke off a banana from the fruit plate on the table next to him. He peeled it off and handed it to the little girl Cui Yifei. He heard Jiang Zhiran say: "Auntie, I was too young back then... so much so that I was hurt when I did something wrong. My parents’ heart, but I realized I was wrong afterwards. I originally wanted to admit my mistake in front of my parents and ask them to forgive me, but I was afraid that they wouldn’t want to see me..."
“Speak to the key points.”
Jiang Li didn't want to listen to Jiang Zhiran's rambling.
“Auntie, can you help me say a few words in front of my parents? I miss them, I want to be with them, and I want to reunite as a family!”
With tears in his eyes, Jiang Zhiran begged Jiang Li.
"If I remember correctly, you not only wrote a divorce letter that year, but also changed your name and surname. This shows how determined you are to break away from the Jiang family and your parents who have raised you for many years. Now. You said that you knew you were wrong after the fact, but because you were worried that your parents who had raised you for many years would not want to see you, you did not go to them to admit your mistake. Whether I believe it or not, I can only say that there is nothing I can do to help you. ”
Jiang Li's tone was gentle. She was silent for a moment and then spoke again: "Besides, you have a biological father and your life has been good these past few years. Is it necessary to turn back now and become a child of our Jiang family? And if you do this, you Does the biological father know? If not, how will you explain it when he finds out? "
Opened his mouth, Jiang Zhiran couldn't answer the words.
She didn't know what to say. For a moment, the atmosphere in the main hall seemed a bit condensed.
About two or three minutes later, Jiang Li's voice sounded: "When you called me to ask for money, was it your idea or your husband's? What did you want the money for?"
"Feifei and I, her father didn't have a job, and we were losing money in business. Seeing that life was going to be difficult, I...I thought about borrowing some from my mother, aunt, I really had to borrow it, and I didn't think about not paying back the money. my mother."
Jiang Zhiran explained.
“If there is no job, you won’t look for it? If you don’t know how to do business, then don’t do it. As long as you have hands and feet, you will starve to death?”
Jiang Li's voice gradually became stern: "I don't want to interfere with your affairs at all, but if you call me aunt, I have to say a few words. Since you made the choice back then, no matter what the future is, Even if you are kneeling, you have to go on, otherwise, wouldn’t the choice you made be a joke?
Besides, you are determined to be a child of our Jiang family, but you should know very well that, aside from other things, your husband alone cannot be accepted by your parents who have raised you for many years. Now that you want to return to the Jiang family, then I I want to ask, are you willing to divorce your husband? "
“Auntie, I won’t get divorced!”
Then catch the insects. . .
