The family was penniless, with nothing to sell and not much food to eat.
The old woman was spoiled by her husband when she was young, and even after she had a daughter-in-law, she continued to promiscuous.
Now that her daughter-in-law is gone and her son has become a disabled person, the burden of the entire family is really on her.
After working hard for a while, Zhou's mother, who already had high blood pressure, suddenly fell to the ground.
Later, some villagers found her and notified Zhou Jianlin to carry his mother back.
But Zhou Jianlin said that he couldn't carry it and his legs were weak, so he begged kind people in the village to help him carry it.
Because of this, he was once again despised by the villagers. What's the use of reading so many books? He is still a waste.
However, later on, a villager felt sorry for Aunt Zhou and carried her back home.
When Aunt Zhou returned home, she was already paralyzed on one side.
The village doctor came to take a look and said that the patient had to be sent to a big hospital, otherwise he would be paralyzed in bed forever.
But the Zhou family doesn’t have any money, and they’re already in debt. Who would be willing to lend them money
Furthermore, Zhou Jianlin had no intention of sending his mother to the hospital. Not only would it cost money, but even if she was cured, she would have lost her ability to work.
Why bother
Now, the number of paralyzed patients in the Zhou family has increased from one to two.
The Zhou family was hit by a series of misfortunes and was in a gloomy mood. When the villagers passed by their house, they would take a detour. If they got too close, they would feel it was unlucky.
On the other hand, after Bai Chen restored his reputation, he continued working at the martial arts school, studying for his self-study subjects, and taking care of his children.
Life is very fulfilling.
Dongdong is a very smart boy. He inherited his mother's learning talent. He can learn to read quickly and can do arithmetic very well.
Bai Chen enrolled him in a children's English course. After the class, he was randomly checked on the knowledge he had learned, and he actually remembered it all.
This child will be a top student in the future.
One weekend, her brother Wei Qiang suddenly called Bai Chen and told her that all members of the Wei family had arrived in the provincial capital and asked her to bring the children to meet them.
Although Bai Chen was surprised, he also wanted to meet Wei Juan's relatives.
Especially her parents, she had to have a good talk with them before leaving the mission.
So, Bai Chen took Dongdong to his brother Wei Qiang's residence without any hesitation.
Wei Qiang's house is only 60 square meters. All the members of the Wei family sat on the sofa in the living room, feeling a little crowded.
Wei's parents sat on the three-seater sofa in the middle.
Mr. Wei is now in his fifties. He has a long face, is dark and serious, and is thin and of medium build.
Wei's mother is a little plump, with a round face, regular features and kind eyes.
The eldest sister Wei Lin is about thirty years old, but she looks a little old due to long-term labor. She sits on a single sofa on the side.
The younger sister Wei Xiang, who was dressed fashionably and looked pretty, was sitting on the double sofa on the other side.
When Bai Chen brought Dong Dong in, they all stared at Bai Chen with surprise in their eyes.
The first thing Dongdong did when he entered the room was to throw himself into the arms of his uncle who was standing at the door.
"Uncle, I miss you so much!"
"Uncle misses you too!" Wei Qiang picked Dongdong up and kissed him again, "Oh, Dongdong, why have you lost weight?"
"Really? Uncle, I'm losing weight!"
"Lose weight? Children lose weight?" Wei Qiang ruffled Dong Dong's hair, "Don't lose weight, children look better when they are fatter!"
“Thin people are in fashion now!”
Wei Qiang: ...Well, even children know how to follow trends and fashions.
Having a child can easily liven up the atmosphere. A situation that might have seemed awkward at first can be immediately eased because there is a child to amuse him.
So, the younger sister saw that Dongdong was cute, so she stood up and dragged Dongdong from Wei Qiang's arms, "Call me auntie, and I'll give you delicious food and fun things!"
Dong Dong's cheerful expression immediately changed, and he looked very serious, "Sister, don't tempt me with material things, I won't be fooled by you."
“Pfft…Haha!”
“Cough cough cough!”
"Oh my! How can this child be so cute
And can withstand the temptation of material things!"
Wei Xiang deliberately gritted her teeth and gently pinched Dongdong's face a few times.
Dongdong became even more serious and looked at Wei Xiang as if she was a lunatic.
"Ma'am, please be reserved!"
Now all the members of the Wei family couldn't help laughing.
Even Father Wei, who was usually very serious, couldn't help but curled up the corners of his mouth.
"Look at this child. He's only a few years old, but he speaks so elegantly." As the elder sister spoke, she pulled Dongdong into her arms.
Dongdong was no stranger to his aunt, so he was not at all averse to her. He sat on her lap and changed into a comfortable position.
Bai Chen sat down next to Wei Xiang without saying a word.
Wei Qiang sat on the three-seater sofa next to his old father, cleared his throat, and then got to the point.
"Today is the first time our Wei family has been reunited in more than six years, so we should celebrate.
So everyone say something happy. "
The originally good atmosphere became awkward again. Over the years, Wei Juan's resentment towards her parents could not be eliminated with just a few words.
Furthermore, Wei Juan’s parents were also angry with her. In their opinion, they just didn’t let her go to college. Was it necessary for her to even disown her parents
She is such an unfilial daughter.
Father Wei was the first to frown and said, "Divorce is such a big deal, why didn't you even say hello
Do you think there is no one in the Wei family?"
Wei Qiang rubbed his scalp in distress and tugged at his father's sleeve, "Dad, wouldn't it be better for Juanmei to leave the Zhou family? She's living a good life now, so don't blame her."
He had a feeling that today was not going to be a pleasant family gathering.
"She's living a good life, of course she's living a good life, traveling around the world with her child." Wei's father immediately got furious.
"Look at what she said in front of those reporters
Her father didn't let her go to college, so she spread the news everywhere and let everyone know.
Even people from the county came and held a meeting in the village for several days.
Educate the villagers not to bury talents, let children study more, and do not favor boys over girls.
Those people just use me as a negative example to wash your father's face...
Where do you want to put your old face
Now everyone in the village is making fun of me, and even I was removed from my position as village party secretary after serving for decades.
What do you think she is thinking
To be honest, Bai Chen wanted to laugh really when he heard this. The effect was quite good!
This punishment is considered light. If we didn't take into account their kindness in raising the client, there might be a heavier revenge!
The eldest sister and the younger sister seemed not to have heard Wei's father's complaints. One of them combed Dongdong's hair with her fingers and interacted with Dongdong in a friendly manner.
One of them was playing with his phone with his head down.
Only Wei Qiang acted as a peacemaker, "Dad, let's not talk about the past. Wouldn't it be easier for you if you weren't the village party secretary
It’s time to take a break.”
To be precise, we should give way to young people.
Wei's father has been the village party secretary for more than 20 years, so he has always been quite prestigious in the village.
But times are changing, society is changing, but his thoughts have not changed, and he has always stuck to the old ways.
