Cui Anhua and Cui's mother parted unhappily because of Jiang Wenyue's matter. After coming out of Cui's mother's room, he was full of anger and couldn't vent it, so he found Cui Ying and scolded him without any politeness:
"You are a grown man, but you couldn't protect your grandmother, mother, and siblings, causing them to suffer irreparable injuries. How dare you be the heir of the Cui family?!"
"Mother? I only have one mother, and Jiang is not my mother." Cui Ying sneered. She found the word "mother" in his words particularly harsh.
"I came back from the government office after the earthquake stopped, and I immediately took the doctor to look for grandma and them. If I hadn't cared, your delicate new wife and new child might have had to beg on the streets!" Cui Ying said sarcastically, "The children were injured and you blame me for not protecting them? How could I have protected them? Should I have flown back from the government office to save them? Sorry, I don't have the ability to do so. If you did, why didn't you fly back from Liangzhou to save them?"
"You, you unfilial son! How dare you talk to me like that?" Cui Anhua was choked by his words. He knew he was in the wrong and could not put the blame for his wife and children's injuries on Cui Ying, so he found fault with his attitude.
"A kind father will make his son filial. Only when the father is kind will the son be filial. Father, do you think you are kind to us children? No, right?" Cui Ying said expressionlessly. He was not afraid of falling out with his father at all. In his heart, this father was no longer his father since he insisted on divorcing his mother and quickly got married and had children.
Cui Ying had no feelings for this father and did not feel any sadness about it. Instead, he felt more aggrieved and unwilling. But now this father actually blamed him for not protecting his beloved wife and young son, and he could not bear it any longer.
Cui Anhua was so angry at his words that smoke came out of his head. He pointed at him with his eyes wide open and said, "How dare you talk back to me? Fine, fine, you have guts! I wonder if I could still be an official if I told you that you are disobedient to your elders and unfilial?!"
Cui Ying sneered when he heard his threat and said lightly, "If the news that my triplets were conceived out of wedlock gets out, I wonder if you, father, will still be able to be your general? Will others look down on and humiliate my two brothers when they grow up?"
When Cui Anhua heard Cui Ying's words, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his arrogant demeanor immediately weakened. The finger pointing at Cui Ying also dropped weakly.
It was obvious from the way he looked that his secrets had been exposed and he felt guilty.
"You, you are talking nonsense! The triplets are not born out of wedlock, don't slander us!" Cui Anhua retorted in a cowardly manner.
Cui Ying looked at his illogical and weak defense and said sarcastically, "Whether it is true or not, you know and I know. Oh, by the way, your new wife knows it best. Don't think you have concealed it well. Don't do it if you don't want others to know. You should understand this simple truth, right?"
Cui Anhua looked at the disdainful and scornful expression on his son's face, and suddenly felt like being pricked by a needle in his heart. Why did his son seem to resent him so much? Did he blame him for divorcing his mother, so he had to go against him
Cui Anhua thought he had figured out the cause of the matter and knew he was in the wrong. Moreover, his son had caught him with evidence, so he could only say aggrievedly, "I won't do anything to you, and you'd better not do anything to destroy the reputation of the triplets, otherwise I will never give up..."
After saying that, he left in shame.
Cui Ying looked at his back and sneered. Although he knew that this father was cold to all relatives except his lovely wife and young children, he was surprised to see that not only did he not thank him for helping his lovely wife and young children after the earthquake, but he also came to him to blame him. This behavior of turning the tables really opened his eyes.
Maybe in his opinion, as a son, he should protect his wife and children? But why doesn't he think from his own perspective? Strictly speaking, his current wife and children are in opposition to him.
He was magnanimous and did not take advantage of their misfortune. He even repaid evil with kindness and helped them. But this does not mean that he forgot the hostile stance of the mother and son towards himself. It was the father Cui Anhua who caused this situation. So how could this father, who is easily bored with the old and easily gets the nerve to blame himself for not protecting his beloved wife and young son
Cui Anhua came back from Cui Ying and Cui's mother with a lot of anger. When he saw Jiang Wenyue waiting for him with tenderness, the anger on his face eased. He hurried over to hold her arm and said, "Why are you standing outside waiting for me? You are weak, be careful not to catch a cold and get sick again."
"I've been waiting for you to come home for so long, but I can't suppress my longing for you anymore," Jiang Wenyue said shyly.
The two of them sat down and talked about women for a while. Jiang Wenyue suddenly showed an expression as if he wanted to say something but stopped, and seemed to be very conflicted.
When Cui Anhua saw him, he asked carefully, "What's wrong with you? Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Jiang Wenyue nodded, looked at him awkwardly, and said, "Yes, but I don't know whether I should tell you about this..."
"Tell me what's going on. Don't worry, I'm here. You can tell me anything. No matter how difficult it is, I will help you handle it." Cui Anhua immediately promised with great enthusiasm.
"Then, then I'll tell you." Jiang Wenyue's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard his promise, and she was about to cry, "I wonder if you can please not leave us and go to Liangzhou to be the commander of the border defense?"
Cui Anhua's face froze immediately. Jiang Wenyue saw his expression and said quickly, "If you don't want to, forget it. The children and I can be fine at home..."
Although she said this, her eyes were already filled with tears.
Seeing her adorable appearance, Cui Anhua couldn't help but hug her in his arms, sighed and said, "I know that I have been away from home and cannot be with you and the children. I have wronged you."
"No, I'm not wronged... I'm just too scared..." Jiang Wenyue looked at him with tears in her eyes and said, "The last time the earth dragon turned over was too terrible. I could hardly fall asleep during that period. Even if I fell asleep, I would dream of the children lying in the ruins with blood all over their faces and bodies. I cried in agony while holding their bodies, and then woke up from the dream crying. I will never forget the scene in my dream..."
Cui Anhua felt even more distressed when he heard her words, and said, "It's my fault that I couldn't stay with you when you were so frightened. Now it's all right, I'm back, don't be afraid anymore..."
Jiang Wenyue cried pitifully, looked at him expectantly and said, "So, my husband, come back and be an officer! It doesn't matter how high the rank is or how glorious it is, as long as you can go home every night, I don't care about anything else..."
Cui Anhua was so moved that he blurted out, "Okay, I promise you, I will come back to be an official in Beijing and stay with you and your children. I will never let you be alone and helpless again."
If Cui Ying heard what he said, he would definitely feel sorry for his mother.
