034
When dead trees come back to life in spring and old trees bloom, it brings good luck.
After hearing what the man said, Old Mrs. Lin returned home with mixed feelings.
She laughed out loud with joy when she thought of what the master said about her dead tree coming back to life, which was a good omen. Then she felt anxious when she thought of her precious grandson who was indeed destined to be rich but was unlucky in his father's favor. Then she felt extremely worried when she thought of what the master said about her son having a romantic disaster and losing both his money and his life.
All kinds of emotions intertwined and stirred in her heart, making her face look strangely distorted. Her smile didn't look like a smile, and her tears didn't look like tears.
"Oh, what should I do?" She sighed worriedly in the kitchen. "My eldest grandson, why does he have such a miserable life?"
"Who has such a miserable life? Mom, what are you mumbling about?"
Lin Wei, who had just returned and gone into the kitchen to find something to eat, was annoyed by Old Lady Lin's constant nagging. She kept talking about her miserable life and bad luck, and her endless superstitions. He couldn't understand how she could be so superstitious.
With a clang, Old Lady Lin threw away the kitchen knife in her hand. Not caring about the water and oil stains on her hands, she quickly walked over to Lin Wei, grabbed him and examined him carefully. "Xiaowei, let me tell you, the master said that you have a lot of peach blossom luck recently, but you will have a peach blossom disaster. You must be chaste and not have any casual relationships with men and women, otherwise you will lose both your money and your life. In my opinion, you should quickly break up with your apprentice in the game. Who can tell whether she is a human or a ghost through the phone?"
Old Mrs. Lin's immediate response to such intimate questions was truly overwhelming for Lin Wei. He speechlessly ripped Old Mrs. Lin's hand away and said, "Mom, what are you talking about? I've been telling you all day not to listen to these scammers, but why don't you listen? These scammers specialize in ripping off ignorant, superstitious old ladies like you. And then you get sold off and end up helping them count the money."
"Pfft, pfft, pfft, Bodhisattva, please don't blame me." Old Mrs. Lin hurriedly clasped her hands together and bowed to the sky. "Xiaowei, how can you talk like that? Bodhisattva will blame us if you say that."
Lin Wei said with disgust, "What's with the Bodhisattva or not? Let him blame me if he wants to. Isn't it annoying to keep saying this all the time?"
Seeing that he was angry, Mrs. Lin didn't dare to continue nagging him. She could only mumble, "Anyway, you can't go out and mess around."
Lin Wei's expression brightened slightly. "You don't need to tell me that. I know my limits." He glanced into the pot and asked, "Why isn't the meal ready yet? Did you stay out late again today?"
Old Mrs. Lin said guiltily, "I was just delayed on the way. It will be fine soon, it will be fine soon."
"Hey, you..." Lin Wei pinched his brows, "I don't know what to say to you." At this moment, he suddenly remembered Jiang Yanyi's kindness, "Luckily, Jiang Yanyi will be back tomorrow. When she comes back, you can dance outside as long as you want."
Speaking of this, Mrs. Lin didn't care whether he would be angry or not, and hurriedly stopped him, saying: "No, no, we can't let her come back."
Lin Wei has never been a good-tempered person. After hearing her words, he immediately asked loudly, "Mom, what have you been doing all day? Are you crazy? Yesterday, you were the one who insisted on letting her come back, and today you are the one who said she can't come back. What do you mean?"
Old Mrs. Lin knew she was in the wrong and shrank her neck unconsciously. "Isn't this... isn't this a change in the situation?"
"Okay, then tell me how the situation has changed? What happened that prevents her from coming back?"
Lin Wei felt like he was truly overwhelmed with worry for his family. "You said you just wanted to go out dancing all day and couldn't do any housework. Okay, if you want to dance, go ahead. I'll do it. Jiang Yanyi and I had a fight, and I didn't want to see her face. You said you wanted to call Jiang Yanyi back to help you, and I did. Now you're saying she can't come back. What? You're not going to go dancing anymore. How can I finish the housework?"
"Mom, I really beg you, I'm already tired after a day at work, please don't torture me with these trivial matters, okay? I just want to have a hot meal when I get home, is that so difficult?"
In fact, he didn't care whether Jiang Yanyi came back or not. If coming back would be good for his life, then he didn't care. If coming back would not benefit him at all, then he didn't want to see her at all.
Now that Old Lady Lin is exaggerating about this matter and has a different attitude every now and then, it only makes him feel irritated.
After hearing his yell, Mrs. Lin's wrinkled face was filled with tears.
"Why is my life so hard? Who am I doing this for? It's all for you. I raised you up with all my hard work, and now that you've grown up you're starting to dislike me, right? If you can't stand it anymore, just tell me and I'll go back. There's no need to yell at me here."
Old Mrs. Lin howled as she spoke, and her words were full of regrets about her miserable life of raising such an ungrateful son.
Lin Wei was given a headache by her crying and had no choice but to compromise: "Mom, why are you crying? You know I don't mean that." From childhood to adulthood, his mother always used this trick to deal with him, and he had no choice but to compromise.
Old Lady Lin continued to nag, "What have I done wrong? I'm thinking about you, and I've poured my heart and soul into you, yet you turn against me and treat me badly. I'm not easy. I serve you delicious food and drink every day, but in the end, all you have to say is that I'm nothing, right? If you find me annoying, just tell me. I don't have to stay here. I know you've grown up and have your own ideas. People say that when you get a wife, you forget your mother. I don't think you can remember me, your mother, even though you don't have a wife."
Seeing that Old Lady Lin was about to talk about the old almanac again, Lin Wei hurriedly begged for mercy: "Mom, I was wrong. Is it okay if I was wrong? Please stop talking. I was really wrong." If he let her continue, his ears would have no peace for the next few hours.
"Mom, I was wrong just now. I shouldn't have spoken to you so loudly. Don't bother with me. Do whatever you want. I support you."
In the end, the battle ended with a complete victory for Old Lady Lin. She picked up the kitchen knife again and began chopping vegetables with a clatter of her tongue, her expression filled with indescribable pride. "I'm telling you, Xiaowei, this is all for your own good. I will never harm you. If you don't believe me now, you'll understand later. In short, you can't do anything stupid outside during this period. You must listen to me, understand?"
Lin Wei nodded randomly and said perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I get it. Mom, hurry up and cook. I'm starving."
Only then was Mrs. Lin satisfied.
Lin Wei sat on the sofa, feeling so irritated that he couldn't express it. After sitting for a while, he grabbed his coat and walked out without even saying goodbye to Old Lady Lin.
When Old Mrs. Lin came out of the kitchen with the food, she was dumbfounded. Hey, where is the person?
She called Lin Wei's name everywhere, but no one answered her. She called Lin Wei again, but the call was either busy or no one answered. She wandered around like a headless fly for a long time, and finally realized that he was angry and sulking with her.
Sitting in the park, Lin Wei hung up on Mrs. Lin again and again. Finally, he simply put her on the blacklist to get rid of the problem.
After coming out to get some fresh air, the depression in his heart was somewhat relieved.
It was late, and there were few people on the road. His stomach kept rumbling, and Lin Wei suddenly realized that he hadn't eaten dinner yet. He felt a little regretful, thinking he should have eaten before going out. With this in mind, he prepared to return the same way.
"ah."
A cry rang in his ears, and Lin Wei's cell phone was almost knocked away.
Lin Wei clutched his phone tightly, still terrified, and cursed rudely, "What's going on? You don't have eyes."
The woman who crashed into his arms raised her head and cried bitterly, "I'm sorry, brother. I didn't mean to do that. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."
Looking at the woman's pitiful appearance, Lin Wei silently swallowed the curse words on the tip of his tongue. He lowered his voice, as if afraid of scaring the other party, and asked: "It's okay, but you, you didn't bump into anything, did you?"
The woman shook her head. The next second, she nervously grasped Lin Wei's sleeve, her face filled with panic. "Brother, someone is following me. Please help me."
She lowered her voice very low, "Brother, please help me."
Suspicion suddenly rose in Lin Wei's heart when such a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in the middle of the night and threw herself into his arms. After pushing the woman away, he said cautiously, "I don't have much money."
The woman looked desperate. "Brother, I'm not a liar. Please help me."
Lin Wei sneered, "Which liar would call himself a liar these days? Okay, put away your little tricks. I've seen too many of you."
The woman suppressed her tears and said, "Brother, I'm really not a liar." As if to prove her statement, the woman paused for a moment and anxiously took out her ID card from her body. "Brother, if you don't believe me, this is my ID card. You can take it. I beg you, please help me. They wanted to kidnap me, and I had a lot of trouble to escape." She handed the ID card to Lin Wei. "They took my money and phone, and I had to work hard to steal this ID card."
Lin Wei took the ID card and looked at it carefully. It was indeed her. Now, taking a closer look under the light of the street lamp, he saw that there were some bruises on her face and body, and her hair was messy.
"Then why don't you call the police?"
The woman trembled. "I'm from out of town. This is the first time I've encountered something like this while traveling far away. I can't even find the police station. Brother, can you help me get rid of them and take me to the police station to report the crime?"
Lin Wei looked into the distance and saw someone looking for something in the dark, walking towards them while searching.
The woman followed Lin Wei's gaze and was immediately horrified. "It's them, it's them, they're coming over, big brother, I beg you, please help me."
The woman's delicate face aroused Lin Wei's desire to protect her. He handed the ID card back to the woman and said, "Come with me." He pulled the woman and ran quickly.
The night wind whistled in his ears, and Lin Wei felt nervous and excited. He had never encountered such a thing before. It was as if he was eloping with a woman, and the next second the two of them would run to the ends of the earth.
Someone not far away heard the noise and shouted, "Over there, chase."
Lin Wei held the woman's hand, his palms were full of sweat. He ran faster and faster, using all his strength to run forward. Seeing that the other party was getting closer and closer, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call the police.
Unfortunately, before he could unlock it, a group of people caught up with him.
Three tall and strong men suddenly blocked their way, and one of them quickly snatched Lin Wei's mobile phone and threw it to the ground.
Lin Wei's cell phone exploded with a sound. He was shocked and angry, but looking at the other party's burly appearance, he dared not say anything.
"Damn it, you still told me you didn't cheat? I caught the adulterer, didn't I?" A man who looked like a boss angrily walked up to the woman and slapped her. "Still running? Do you think you can get away? Dare to cuckold me, and I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
The woman's head was knocked sideways. She covered her face and sobbed, "I didn't."
"You're still saying no? If this isn't your mistress, then what is it? If this isn't your mistress, why would he drag you away?"
Lin Wei quickly shook off the woman's hand.
"Fuck, you're attracted to a weakling like this and want to cuckold me, right? You have quite a unique taste. Can he last for three seconds? Can he satisfy you? I can beat ten of these skinny guys by myself. Damn, you don't even pick the good one, you want all the junk, are you a fucking garbage recycling station?" The man looked at Lin Wei with contempt, his eyes showing undisguised disdain.
Hearing the other party insulting him like this, Lin Wei was very angry, but after comparing it with the other party's fist, he chose to remain silent.
The man's words were extremely insulting to both of them. The woman was still crying, and Lin Wei didn't dare to refute her. For a full ten minutes, the man was the only one who was talking.
Lin Wei's ancestors had all been insulted by men, but he didn't even dare to say a word.
It was too late and there was no one in the park. Even if there was, no one would dare to come over to check what was going on after hearing the noise. His cell phone was broken again, and Lin Wei was so desperate that no one could help him.
He huddled aside like a quail, only occasionally explaining that he was not the woman's adulterer but was just passing by. The rest of the time, he adhered to the principle of silence.
Unfortunately, his silence did not calm the man down. Perhaps he was tired of scolding the woman, so he stopped scolding her and turned his anger towards him.
"You kid, you're so bold! Do you know who I am and yet you dare to touch my woman? You weren't even born when I was playing with women, yet you dare to cheat on me? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? Do you think you're lucky enough to enjoy a woman like this? Damn it, I'm telling you, even if it's a woman I don't want anymore, it won't be your turn."
Lin Wei silently endured the man's saliva spraying on his face like rain, cursing his bad luck in his heart. He should have ignored this woman just now.
The man slapped his face with a palm as big as a palm fan: "You are quite capable, kid. Running, right? Run a little more and let me see."
Lin Wei was so frightened that he dared not breathe, and his words trembled: "Brother, no, I really didn't do that. She just bumped into me and said that there were bad guys following her and asked me to help her. I really don't know her."
"Fuck, she bumped into your arms? You were still holding her?" The man's eyes widened with anger, as if he was going to eat someone the next moment. "Fuck, which hand did you use to hold her? I'm going to kill you today."
Lin Wei had no doubt about the man's ability. Before he even started, he could already feel the pain in his arms. He begged for mercy, his legs shaking: "Brother, please let me go. I really didn't mean to do that. She insisted on coming to me. I really didn't mean to do that."
At this moment, Lin Wei felt extremely regretful. Why did he go out for no reason? It would have been better to stay at home. He would never have encountered such bad luck if he had stayed at home.
He even remembered what Old Lady Lin had told him. She said she was having trouble with love affairs and needed to handle relationships between men and women well. Everything that was happening now made him doubt. Could it be that the master Old Lady Lin mentioned was really that powerful?
The man didn't give him too much time to think. He pulled up Lin Wei's arms and was about to use force. At this time, the two men next to him advised: "Brother, why don't you just forget it?"
"Forget it? Your sister-in-law is about to run away with someone, and you're telling me to just forget it? If this gets out, where will my brother Long's face be?"
A younger brother advised: "It's no use removing his arm. Why don't you ask him to pay some money?"
Brother Long complained, "Money? I have plenty of money. What's the point of asking for his filthy money?"
The younger brother flattered him, "Yes, yes, Brother Long, you are very rich. We are going to teach him a lesson." After that, he turned to Lin Wei and said, "Did you hear me? If you are smart, pay up quickly, otherwise this matter will not end peacefully."
Pay money? Lin Wei thought he knew their purpose. He glanced at the woman who was still crying beside him. They were in the same group.
After figuring this out, he bravely retorted: "Okay, so you are in the same group. I was wondering why it was such a coincidence. It turns out you are acting with me. I tell you, there is no money to be made, but there is a life to be lived." He was sure that they were doing this just to make money and would never dare to cause a death.
His sudden toughness made the three men look at each other.
When Lin Wei saw their little actions, he became more convinced of his own ideas.
"I urge you to let me go quickly. If you let me go now, I can pretend nothing happened. Otherwise, when I return, the police will not let you off."
"Fuck, you're not going to accept my toast, are you?"
"Brothers, beat him up."
As soon as Brother Long finished speaking, three people surrounded Lin Wei and punched him in the face with their sandbag-sized fists.
Their movements were too fast and Lin Wei had no time to dodge. As a man who had been sitting in an office for years, he could not withstand such punches and fell to the ground with a thud.
Lin Wei's fall did not make the three men restrain themselves. They punched and kicked him, and punches rained down on his head and body. They even hit his face maliciously.
Lin Wei was beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back. He could only hold his head helplessly, shouting "Stop hitting me, stop hitting me".
The three men seemed to be beating like crazy and turned a deaf ear to his pleas for mercy.
Lin Wei was extremely desperate. Could it be that he was going to be beaten to death here today?
"What are you doing? Stop it!"
Just when Lin Wei felt hopeless, a female voice came from the sky.
The sound sounded like the music of heaven to his ears.
"How can a society ruled by law tolerate your rampant behavior?" the man pulled out his phone. "If you try again, I've already reported it to the police, and they'll be here soon."
"Little girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."
Seeing they didn't believe him, the person dialed 110 from the call log. Soon, the other party picked up the phone, "Hello, this is the 110 emergency center..."
The voice from the other side fell clearly into the ears of the three men. After a moment of hesitation, they stopped beating Lin Wei.
"Shit, this bitch really called the police, retreat."
The three men and the crying woman ran away.
Lin Wei, who was beaten to death, only felt that he seemed to hear a very familiar voice in his daze.
"Hey sir, are you okay? Are you okay? Can you stand up? I'll take you to the hospital."
Lin Weiqiang forced himself to open his eyes, and the vague figure of the woman in front of him came into his sight. The person was wearing sportswear and was obviously running at night.
"Thank you, hiss~" Lin Wei took a breath, the injuries on his body made him feel extremely painful, "My phone..." He raised his hand weakly and pointed at the dead phone on the ground, "Miss, please, please pick it up for me."
"Oh well."
As soon as the woman's hand loosened, she went to pick up his cell phone, and then with a thud, Lin Wei, who had just been helped up, fell heavily to the ground again.
Lin Wei, with stars in his eyes, felt that he saw his father who had passed away many years ago.
The woman came back apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot in my haste."
Lin Wei: “…”
After a delay, the woman finally helped Lin Wei stop a taxi to the hospital.
When they arrived at the hospital, the woman was busy running around to register and pay for Lin Wei, and after a long time she finally handed him over to the doctor.
"Okay, it's finally done."
The woman clapped her hands, looking like she had accomplished something. "Alright, you can get treatment at the hospital. I'm leaving now."
"Hey, wait a minute," Lin Wei stopped her. "Thank you, Miss. Can I have your contact information? I'll go back and transfer the medical expenses to you later."
The woman smiled brightly: "Haha, no need, just think of me as Lei Feng. It's too late, I'm leaving first, so I won't take you home."
The woman clapped her hands and left, leaving her back to Lin Wei.
Looking at her receding back, Lin Wei felt lost.
"Oh, this is a hero saving a damsel in distress." The doctor joked.
Lin Wei grinned embarrassedly, and the next second, he cried out in pain because the wound at the corner of his mouth was pulled.
"Okay, okay, stop talking."
/
It was late at night before Lin Wei returned home with injuries all over his body and a tired look on his face.
When I opened the door, the lights in the living room were still on, and Old Mrs. Lin was pacing back and forth in the living room, feeling uneasy.
Seeing Lin Wei coming back, she hurried forward and said, "Xiaowei, where have you been? Why can't I get through to you on the phone? You're driving me crazy."
When she saw the injuries on Lin Wei's body, her tears flowed again. "You've done something wrong. Who the hell beat you like this?"
Lin Wei was hungry, sleepy, and had just been beaten for no reason. He was already upset, and when he heard her crying, he became even more furious. He pushed her away and said, "Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry. I'm not dead yet, what's there to cry about?"
Old Mrs. Lin looked at him blankly: "Xiaowei, I..."
"Alright, alright, I'm not going to die yet. I'm hungry. Hurry up and get me something to eat."
"Yes, yes, I've heated up the food for you."
Old Mrs. Lin turned and went into the kitchen.
While eating the meal he hadn't eaten for a long time, Lin Wei thought bitterly about the three men and one woman. He had already gone to the police station to report the case after he came out of the hospital. He didn't believe Lin unless he reported the four people to death.
"Son, how did you become like this?"
"Are you annoying? Can you please stop asking? I did it on purpose, okay?" Lin Wei slammed the dishes on the table, got up angrily and went back to his bedroom.
Old Mrs. Lin sat there in a daze, not daring to say anything more.
Lin Wei was lying on the bed, and his mind couldn't help but think of his savior, who was so brave and so kind.
Thinking of her saying that she was Lei Feng, Lin Wei raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously. How could there be such a cute girl?
With his mind full of a mess of thoughts, Lin Wei didn't fall asleep until five in the morning.
The next morning, Lin Wei asked for leave from the company and got up early, which was a rare occasion.
He ignored Mrs. Lin's call for breakfast and went out with his cell phone.
He went straight to the park where he had been last night.
It was too early and there were not many people in the park. There were only a few old men and women practicing Tai Chi in the park.
Lin Wei sat idly on the bench, looking at the pedestrians on the roadside with his eyes open.
An hour passed and he had no delivery.
Could it be that I was wrong?
He began to doubt himself.
After waiting for another ten minutes, just when he was about to give up and go home, a beautiful figure came into his sight.
Finally, someone came.
Lin Wei stood up excitedly and ran towards her quickly.
"Miss Lei Feng, Miss Lei Feng."
The woman didn't hear anything because she was wearing headphones, and only noticed his presence when he ran up to her.
"Hey, it's you. What a coincidence! Are you jogging this morning too?"
Lin Wei endured the pain in his body and ran beside her, "What a coincidence! I was waiting for you here."
"Thank you so much for yesterday."
The woman smiled and said, "Don't be so polite. I believe anyone would take action in that situation. Don't take it to heart."
"How can that be? You are my savior. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would be alive today."
"By the way, may I know your name, benefactor?" He finally asked the question that he had been thinking about for a long time.
"Haha, I don't dare to be called a benefactor. My last name is Jia, you can call me Jia Ling."
"Jia Ling, what a nice name." Lin Wei nodded. "Can I call you Xiao Ling? Don't get me wrong, I just feel that Jia Ling is a bit strange."
Jia Ling nodded generously and said, "The name is just a code name, you can call me whatever you want."
Frank and pure, Lin Wei felt that he liked the girl in front of him even more.
Fortunately, he came here to wait for her this morning, otherwise he would never have met her again.
Jia Ling ran five laps around the park, and Lin Wei followed her, tired as a dog. Fortunately, she finally noticed his predicament and stopped.
"If you can't do it, don't run away."
How could a man say no? Lin Wei forced a smile and said, "Why not? I can do it."
Jia Ling smiled and said, "Haha, don't be so stubborn. You're already injured, so it's normal that you can't run away."
Lin Wei said embarrassedly: "I...I just want to accompany you."
This made Jia Ling blush, "What are you talking about?"
Lin Wei also knew that he couldn't rush things, so he changed the subject and said, "You haven't had breakfast yet, right? Come on, I'll treat you to breakfast. Just consider it a chance to repay me. I hope you won't refuse, Xiaoling."
Since he said so, Jia Ling naturally felt embarrassed to refuse.
The two chatted and laughed as they went to the breakfast shop.
/
In this way, Lin Wei changed his previous habit of sleeping in. He got up early every day to go to the park for a morning run with Jia Ling, and also went out for a night run with her after get off work.
Within two days, the two of them became familiar with each other and their feelings quickly heated up.
The more Lin Wei gets along with Jia Ling, the more he likes her. Every word and every action of hers is the cutest in Lin Wei's eyes.
Lin Wei only hated himself for meeting her so late.
Whenever he laughed heartily with Jia Ling, Lin Wei couldn't help feeling guilty. What if she knew that he was married and had a wife and children?
No, Xiaoling can’t know.
The idea of divorce quickly took root in Lin Wei's heart.
"Brother Lin, what are you thinking about?"
Lin Wei forced a smile and said, "It's okay. I was just thinking about how to give you a perfect wedding."
Jia Ling said coquettishly, "What are you talking about? Who wants to marry you?"
Lin Wei grabbed her hand and said, "Xiao Ling, I really want to marry you. Will you marry me? Don't worry, I will treat you well in the future."
He spoke so confidently that Jia Ling blushed unconsciously.
"Hate."
Lin Wei was very happy. "Xiao Ling, you are so kind. Don't worry, I will definitely give you a grand wedding. Xiao Ling, can you come to my house today? Don't worry, my mother is a very good person. She will definitely like you."
Jia Ling was a little worried, "Meeting the parents so soon? I'm scared."
"Xiao Ling, don't be afraid. My mother will definitely like you, such a good girl."
After Jia Ling went to the toilet, Lin Wei quickly called Old Mrs. Lin, explained Jia Ling's situation to her and asked her not to let anything out. Finally, he told Old Mrs. Lin to go home early and prepare a good meal.
Old Mrs. Lin was very depressed when she received the call. Old Man Jia had been complaining every day recently that she didn't tell her son about their relationship. Not only that, her dancing time was getting shorter and shorter, and she had to go back before he had enough fun, which made him very unhappy.
Old Mrs. Lin had no choice. She only had this one son. Who else could she spoil if not him?
She had long wanted to formally introduce Old Man Jia to Lin Wei, but Lin Wei said he was busy every day, so she had never found a suitable opportunity.
However, thinking of what Lin Wei had just told her on the phone, Mrs. Lin's eyes turned and a plan came to her mind.
"Brother Jia, come to my house for dinner today."
Old man Jia snorted: "Why? Aren't you afraid your son will be angry now?"
Old Lady Lin smiled apologetically and said, "Brother Jia, what are you talking about? Xiaowei is not angry. I'm just worried that he can't accept it for the time being."
"Humph, if he can't accept it, then I can, right? I'm already old, and I'm still acting like I'm not going to be seen by anyone, sneaking around with you every day. It's embarrassing to tell anyone. Let me tell you, if I didn't really think you and I were a good match, I would have gone to find another old lady long ago."
Old Mrs. Lin knew this very well, and upon hearing this, she hurriedly explained, "I know, I know. I've wronged you, Brother Jia, during this period, and I have no choice. So, why don't you come back with me today and have dinner together? Don't worry, Xiaowei will definitely agree."
Old Mrs. Lin had a good idea. Her son was going to bring his girlfriend home for dinner today. Even if he was angry in front of his girlfriend, he would not be able to show it in front of her. So he would take the old man home with him. After the meal, everyone would have a clear path forward and be a family from now on. Isn't that a double happiness?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this method was feasible. As she spoke, Old Lady Lin dragged Old Man Jia back home.
After settling Old Man Jia in the living room, Old Mrs. Lin worked hard and skillfully prepared a large table of dishes. She wanted to show off her skills in front of Old Man Jia, so her movements were much faster than usual.
When Lin Wei brought Jia Ling home, Old Mrs. Lin had just put the last dish on the table.
"Mom, Xiaoling and I are back."
Lin Wei shouted loudly, and the next moment, he saw Old Man Jia on the sofa.
His expression changed: "Who are you and why are you sitting in my house?"
"Dad, why are you here?"
Without waiting for Old Man Jia to answer, Jia Ling beside him ran towards him in surprise.
"Xiao Ling, why are you here?"
The father and daughter looked at each other.
It was Old Lady Lin who reacted first.
"You two?"
"He's my dad."
"She's my daughter."
The father and daughter replied in unison.
Oh, what a coincidence.
After the four of them sat down at the table, they all told each other how they met, and everyone burst into laughter.
"Oh my! No wonder the old saying goes, 'If you're not from the same family, you won't marry.' What a coincidence! It's like we've become even closer, a double blessing."
Old man Jia clapped his hands with a smile.
"Xiaowei, Xiaoling is a good child. I feel relieved to leave her to you. You must treat her well."
Lin Wei didn't expect that he would gain the approval of his future father-in-law so easily. He nodded and promised: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely treat Xiao Ling well."
"Oh, you still call me uncle."
Lin Wei rarely felt embarrassed. He scratched his head, his face flushed as he shouted, "Dad, don't worry, I will treat Xiao Ling well."
Old man Jia drank the wine he offered and said, "Don't worry, I will treat your mother well."
Lin Wei's original dissatisfaction disappeared in an instant. Forget it, let the old lady remarry. He can't control her anymore.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much.
Just as Old Lady Lin had imagined, after this meal, they had a clear path forward, and Old Man Jia even moved directly into their house.
Originally, Old Man Jia disagreed. He wanted Old Mrs. Lin to move in with him. However, Old Mrs. Lin said that if she left, there would be no one to do the laundry and cooking for Lin Wei, so she had no choice but to let Old Man Jia move in and live with her.
In desperation, Old Man Jia had no choice but to agree.
Lin Wei was worried about how to divorce Jiang Yanyi. He called her to test her attitude and vaguely mentioned the idea of divorce to her.
As a result, Jiang Yanyi seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness between them. She shared her joy with him with great joy, telling him when the baby kicked her again and when she went for a pregnancy check-up and everything was fine with the baby.
She talked on and on for a long time on the phone, but Lin Wei did not feel any joy of being a father for the first time. He just felt annoyed.
He is no longer looking forward to having a child. He just wants to divorce Jiang Yanyi as soon as possible and then marry Jia Ling. He really loves Jia Ling so much. He only loves her in this life and he can't wait to spend his whole life with her.
He wanted to go to Jiang Yanyi in person to ask for a divorce, but because Jia Ling was with him all the time, he couldn't find a reason to go to Jiang Yanyi's hometown.
As for calling Jiang Yanyi back, it is even more impossible. What if she meets Jia Ling, then everything will be over, right?
Lin Wei really has a headache.
After much thought, Lin Wei couldn't find a way to have the best of both worlds. He even had the urge to kill Jiang Yanyi. Why didn't she just die? If she died, he wouldn't have so many troubles and he could marry Jia Ling.
Old Mrs. Lin also knew about Lin Wei's troubles. She was very satisfied with Jia Ling, her future daughter-in-law. On the one hand, it was because she was the daughter of old man Jia, and she loved her family as well. On the other hand, it was because Jia Ling was sweet-talking and good at dealing with people.
Unlike Jiang Yanyi who was as tongue-tied as a piece of wood, Jia Ling would call her "Mom" non-stop every time he saw her. He would always bring her gifts when he came home. Today it was her favorite fruit, tomorrow it was clothes, and he never came empty-handed.
Every time she came and saw her busy in the kitchen, she would always chase her out and cook in the kitchen herself.
She is a very good cook and everyone loves the dishes she makes.
More importantly, Jia Ling really loves Lin Wei, even more than she, his mother, does.
No matter how busy she was every day, she would make soup for Lin Wei and personally deliver it to his company every day. Lin Wei had the final say on all matters big and small at home, and she even planned to give her salary card to Lin Wei for safekeeping.
Compared to Jiang Yanyi, who stays at home every day because of her pregnancy, Jia Ling is hundreds of times better.
Old Mrs. Lin wished that Lin Wei would divorce Jiang Yanyi immediately and marry Jia Ling.
However, before the divorce, she still has to give birth to her precious grandson first. That grandson belongs to their Lin family, and cannot be given to her Jiang family for free.
Old Mrs. Lin's abacus was clacking.
Jiang Yanyi knew exactly what Old Lady Lin and Lin Wei were thinking. She would sit at home and watch the show every day, and would call Lin Wei from time to time to annoy him and make him worry. She felt very unhappy.
Seeing this scumbag Lin Wei pretending to be infatuated in front of Jia Ling, she felt disgusted and sorry for Jiang Yanyi.
It must be hard for her to meet such a man.
Jia Ling would call her from time to time to complain about how disgusting Lin Wei and his mother were. She couldn't stand it even if it meant a lot of money.
Jiang Yanyi fully understood her, and she thought it was time to close the net.
