Chapter 16: Come home with me!
When Li Guixiang and others arrived at Liuxiang, they saw Zhong Heyang and Zhong Xuexi standing on the side of the road.
"Xue Xi..."
When Li Guixiang saw her granddaughter, her already red eyes became even redder.
After all, blood is thicker than water. Zhong Xuexi slowly walked over and whispered, "Grandma."
Li Guixiang quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Go home and live here. Grandma knows you feel wronged, but things have already happened. You have to learn to move on!"
Zhong Xuexi bit her lower lip and refused to mention the past. "Let's persuade Zhiyang to go home today."
Li Guixiang sighed, "Okay."
Zhong Zhiyang did not flee far, but rented a house near Liuxiang and settled down temporarily.
The decision to elope was made in a hurry, and his private money was limited, so he had no ability to run away to another place. And Jiang Guifang would not let Jiang Nianyue be taken away like this.
I feel at ease only when it is under my nose.
If it weren't for that bitch from the Lin family, she wouldn't have helped hide.
A rag and butter, but now she is married to Zhong Heyang.
If Jiang Nianyue had not been married, she would rather send her daughter to Zhong Heyang than have her entangled with Zhong Zhiyang.
"Captain! We saw Jiang Guifang go in and she hasn't come out yet. Should we just barge in?"
Zhong Heyang lowered his military cap and said calmly, "Thank you for your hard work these past few days. I'll take care of the rest."
"Yes!" Liu Dafu and his men left one after another, leaving only Zhong Heyang and his mother and son.
Zhong Heyang was walking in front and was about to knock on the door when it was opened from the inside.
Jiang Guifang paused, her face full of disbelief, "Captain Zhong... Captain Zhong, what a coincidence... why are you here..."
She wanted to close the door, but a voice came from inside the house, "Mom, you forgot to bring your scarf. It's cold outside. You...!"
Jiang Nianyue walked out wearing a scarf and happened to meet Zhong Xuexi's sight.
Her face turned pale, "Sister Xue...Sister Xue Xi."
"Shut up! I don't have a sister as old as you. Am I not good enough to you? You actually seduced my brother! And you even encouraged him to run away from his marriage!"
Zhong Xuexi stretched out her hand and pushed her away, then rushed directly into the house, "Zhong Zhiyang! Come out here!"
Jiang Guifang, who was standing by, was furious. "Is there any justice left? You are trespassing!"
Zhong Heyang ignored her and walked in with a cold face.
He looked around and said in a deep voice: "Zhong Zhiyang, if you are still a man, come out honestly."
Jiang Nianyue didn't expect the Zhong family to come to her house so soon. She was so anxious that tears were welling up in her eyes.
"Sister Xue Xi, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. It's all my fault."
Zhong Xuexi has always had a bad temper, and she never tolerates those ungrateful people.
"Don't act pitiful in front of me! I've been fooled by you once, how can I fall for you again? Get out of here!"
Jiang Nianyue stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Yueyue!"
Seeing his sweetheart fall, Zhong Zhiyang couldn't help but run out. "Why are you angry with me? Nian Nian is innocent! It's my incompetence that made her suffer with me."
“Bang!”
Zhong Xuexi didn't even think twice and slapped him directly, "Zhong Zhiyang, if you still have any conscience, break up with her immediately!"
Zhong Zhiyang turned his face away, "Why do we have to break up? What's wrong with me liking her?!"
"Zhiyang..."
Li Guixiang was heartbroken as she saw him stubbornly asking, "Can you go home with grandma?"
Zhong Zhiyang looked at his elderly grandmother, holding back tears, "Grandma, can't you help us? I can go home, but you must agree to let me marry Yueyue!"
"Do you think Jiang Nianyue really likes you? She has her eyes on our Zhong family! Don't be stupid again!" Zhong Xuexi really wanted to slap him again.
"I don't allow you to say that about Yueyue! She is the kindest girl in the world." Zhong Zhiyang looked indignant. "You are a substitute teacher after all, how can you say that to her!"
“Bang!”
Zhong Xuexi slapped him again.
"I think you've really been bewitched by her!"
Zhong Zhiyang exuded hostility and glared at Zhong Xuexi with hatred. He didn't understand why the person who had loved him since childhood was so opposed to his liking Jiang Nianyue.
Jiang Nianyue just lost her husband, she didn’t do anything wrong! What's more, they truly love each other!
"I'm sorry!" Jiang Nianyue grabbed Zhong Zhiyang's arm, her voice choking with sobs, "It's all my fault. I'm not worthy of you. You should go home."
Zhong Zhiyang held her hand, and they interlocked their fingers: "No! In my heart you are the best! I don't want to be separated from you!"
"Didn't we agree to be together forever?"
"But..." Jiang Nianyue bit her lower lip, hesitating to speak.
Li Guixiang was angry and anxious at Jiang Nianyue's affectation, "Zhong Zhiyang! How long are you going to make trouble? Go home with grandma!"
"I won't leave!" Zhong Zhiyang said firmly.
"Because you ran away from your marriage, my elder brother married someone for you! Now you want to abandon your family for a slut?
Zhong Xuexi has always looked down on Lin Ziqiu, and she specifically asked someone to inquire about him before getting married. Lin Ziqiu went missing when she was ten years old. Not long after that, her mother died, and then Lin Dahai remarried.
Lin Dahai and Zhang Xiumei both work in a machinery factory, so it makes sense for Zhong Zhiyang to marry a girl from such a family.
But her elder brother is different. Zhong Zhiyang is a promising team leader, so he should marry someone of equal status, which will be more helpful to him in the future.
There was a flash of apology in Zhong Zhiyang's eyes. He had not originally intended to escape the marriage.
He agreed to the marriage only as a temporary measure, thinking that if he was not home every day after the marriage, the wife he married would definitely make trouble with him. If the quarrel became serious, he could divorce her and then marry Jiang Nianyue.
But the day before the wedding, Jiang Nianyue asked him to meet her, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she wanted to break up with him and was willing to fulfill his wish.
How could he bear to do that?
He had known his elder brother's ambitions for a long time, and he also knew why he refused to get married, but now his elder brother married Lin Ziqiu for him.
Thinking back on the kindness his family had shown him over the years, Zhong Zhiyang's tears welled up in his eyes.
"Zhi Yang, grandma is not forcing you, but if you marry this divorced girl, how can I face your dead parents in the future?" Li Guixiang thought of her sacrificed son. That was the pain hidden deep in her heart.
At that time, she lost her sons one after another and aged ten years.
Later, Zhong Zhiyang's mother also received bad news, leaving him alone at a young age.
It was at that time that Li Guixiang cheered herself up and put all her attention on raising her grandson.
She had a sharp eye for people and knew very well that Jiang Guifang and Jiang Nianyue were not good people.
As early as when Zhong Xuexi wanted to help Jiang Nianyue find a job, she advised her granddaughter not to meddle in other people's business.
But Zhong Xuexi is kind-hearted and feels sorry for Jiang Nianyue.
Unexpectedly, he let a wolf into the house.
"You won't be satisfied until I'm mad at you, right?"
Zhong Zhiyang said in a hoarse voice, "Grandma, I didn't!"
"If not, come home with us!" Zhong Xuexi reached out and grabbed Zhong Zhiyang.
Zhong Zhiyang didn't move at all, and his right hand was still holding Jiang Nianyue.
She pulled her hand back, took a few steps back, turned around and sobbed, "Go back, let's not meet again."
"No!" Zhong Zhiyang was completely anxious. He pushed Zhong Xuexi away and went after Jiang Nianyue.
Zhong Xuexi tried to stop him but was stopped by Zhong Heyang.
"Since they truly love each other, let's not stop them." Zhong Heyang held his grandmother's hand, "From now on, just pretend that he doesn't exist in the Zhong family."
Li Guixiang was stunned and looked at her eldest grandson in disbelief.
Jiang Guifang suddenly felt something was wrong and quickly said, "Captain Zhong! Your words are too serious!"
"It is precisely because Nian Nian has been married that she cherishes her relationship with Zhiyang even more."
"Aunt Li, you raised Zhong Zhiyang by yourself, are you really willing to give up your grandson?"
Zhong Xuexi angrily scolded: "Stop pretending here! Have you forgotten how you pissed off my grandma when you came to my house before?"
Jiang Guifang felt a little guilty, and her voice became much softer, "Your grandma scolded me a lot that day..."
Zhong Xuexi glared at her and said, "You were the one who started the trouble first. Scolding you is too light a punishment. If I were at home, I would have beaten you up a long time ago!"
Jiang Guifang was furious, "You! You shrew! No wonder you can't get married yet!"
"I can support myself without getting married, unlike you who can only rely on a man to live!" Zhong Xuexi didn't care what others said about her.
"you!"
