Chapter 187: Who do you want to scare to death?
"You must accept this money and spend it however you want. Grandma hopes that you can really live a happy life. If you really have to let Jiang Nianyue in in the future, you don't have to give in to her. You are still her sister-in-law after all, so you should be courageous and don't be soft-hearted. Grandma is on your side."
She almost cried in front of her grandfather just now, and now after hearing what her grandmother said, Lin Ziqiu couldn't hold back her tears.
"grandmother……"
No amount of words could compare to a hug. Li Guixiang reached out and hugged her back, patting her back soothingly, "Don't cry, don't cry, why are you crying!"
"Oh, you kid, you made me want to cry too."
Lin Ziqiu rarely gets so intimate in front of her and reveals his truest emotions.
The crying of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the house was heard by Zhong Xuexi who was outside. She secretly swore that even if she had a falling out with Zhong Zhiyang, she would never allow Jiang Nianyue to marry into the Zhong family!
···
It was not until late at night that Zhong Zhiyang returned exhausted. I dragged my heavy body back to the house and just turned on the light, I found someone sitting in the house unexpectedly.
Zhong Zhiyang was startled, holding his chest and taking several steps back, "You...why don't you turn on the light? Who are you trying to scare to death?"
Tian Xiaofeng pursed his lips and said, "You can even have a child before marriage, you can't be so timid."
Zhong Zhiyang choked and looked away guiltily. He locked the door silently and asked, "Are they all asleep?"
"You're scared too?" Tian Xiaofeng snorted coldly, "Tell me, what are you going to do next?"
Zhong Zhiyang sighed and sat helplessly on the bedside, the light in his eyes dimming little by little, "What can I do... That's my child, I can't just ignore him."
"Do you want to marry her?"
"If I...if I don't marry her, how will she live the rest of her life?"
After Zhong Zhiyang saw Jiang Nianyue in the hospital today, he has been following her.
Jiang Nianyue has been suffering from insomnia and sleep problems since she got a little pregnant, so she went to the hospital to see a doctor today.
But she couldn't take many medicines as she was pregnant, and the doctor told her not to worry too much, especially now that she no longer had to be locked up at home. She should go out more often to relieve her depressed emotions, and she would feel better.
She moved back to Liuxiang and lived with Jiang Guifang.
But she didn't let Zhong Zhiyang in, and she was so cold and indifferent, as if she had become a completely different person.
Zhong Zhiyang was waiting at the door of their house. Later, he was worried that she was not getting enough nutrition during her pregnancy, so he hurried to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up to buy some meat and ribs for her.
Finally Jiang Nianyue opened the door, but she only took the things and still refused to say another word to Zhong Zhiyang.
Tian Xiaofeng couldn't help but punch him, "Do you think you can marry her? Will your grandmother and sister agree? And my sister, are you trying to force her away?"
How awkward it would be if we really lived under the same roof!
"I don't want to either!" Zhong Zhiyang scratched his hair irritably. "If it really doesn't work, I'll move out. I promise I won't let my sister-in-law suffer because of this."
Tian Xiaofeng was waiting for him here tonight just to get a promise from him.
Zhong Zhiyang added, "You don't need to remind me. If my eldest brother knew about this, he would definitely beat me up first. He would never let my eldest sister-in-law suffer any injustice."
Tian Xiaofeng smiled with a fake smile, gloating: "You deserve it, who gave you the guts to be so bold!"
Zhong Zhiyang was also very regretful in his heart. After eloping from his marriage, he was actually not willing to have a relationship with Jiang Nianyue. He planned to wait until they were actually married and then completely make her his woman.
As a result, one night, he drank some wine and felt a little dizzy. As he was at an age full of vigor and vitality, he couldn't control himself. When he woke up, Jiang Nianyue was lying next to him.
But after that time, he secretly vowed to make Jiang Nianyue live a happy life.
But food, oil, salt and firewood all cost money, he was incompetent and had many arguments with her.
Especially Jiang Guifang. Seeing that he couldn't make any money, she trampled on his dignity and humiliated and insulted him. When he had enough, he would fight back.
The result was a big quarrel, and Jiang Guifang even took Jiang Nianyue away.
But after a few days, they probably calmed down and came back.
Days like this repeated themselves over and over again, to the point that Jiang Nianyue gradually looked down on Zhong Zhiyang, thinking he was incompetent, and her words and deeds all urged him to return to the Zhong family.
But how could Zhong Zhiyang agree to that?
Once he returns home, he will be separated from Jiang Nianyue.
Then everything he had done would be wasted and he would be back to the starting point.
Zhong Zhiyang felt like he was almost out of breath. He fell on the bed, buried his head in the quilt, and said in a muffled voice: "You go back first, I want to rest."
Tian Xiaofeng lowered his eyes, looking at his frustrated expression, and stroked his brows helplessly. Before leaving, he couldn't help but kick him on the foot, "Remember what you said! Otherwise, my fist will not show mercy!"
"Um."
Zhong Zhiyang frowned in pain and urged, "Help me close the door."
The next day, Zhong Zhiyang seemed to be deliberately hiding from his family and disappeared early in the morning.
"Did Zhiyang not come home last night?" Li Guixiang asked worriedly.
Tian Xiaofeng quickly replied: "No, he didn't come back until after eleven o'clock, but he went out again early this morning."
Zhong Xuexi pulled the corners of her lips, seeing through his actions, "You feel too embarrassed to see us! You're hiding from us on purpose!"
Li Guixiang couldn't help but sigh, "This isn't a solution. How about... calling him back first? Let's discuss what to do about this?"
"Grandma, why are you worried? We don't need to be so anxious. There are other people who should be anxious." Zhong Xuexi didn't sleep well last night because of this matter. She fell asleep only after she figured it out.
Lin Ziqiu didn't interrupt, but silently served each of them a bowl of corn grits porridge, which was especially refreshing with pickled cabbage.
"You're right. Never mind. Zhiyang is an adult now, so let him handle it first. If he doesn't come to us, we'll just pretend we don't know anything about it."
Li Guixiang forced a smile and said, "Let's eat more and not leave any for him."
Despite what she said, the old lady still secretly left a bowl for her grandson in the kitchen without telling anyone else.
For three consecutive days, Zhong Zhiyang deliberately avoided them, leaving early and returning late, until the fourth night, when he ran into his eldest brother Zhong Heyang at the door of his house.
"Brother? Why are you back?"
Zhong Heyang didn't know about his bad deeds yet. He narrowed his eyes and asked with scrutiny, "You don't want me to come back?"
"No... I didn't mean that! I just thought it was too sudden. Isn't it that everyone outside is rebuilding? Aren't you busy?"
