When Zhao Wei returned home, there were quite a few elderly people sitting in the yard.
Fortunately, the old people were knowledgeable and experienced, and unlike the young people, they were not frightened by Zhao Wei’s sudden appearance.
After everyone happily chatted with him for a while, they went home contentedly.
At this moment, Zhao Wei suddenly felt a pain in his ear. It turned out that his mother had grabbed his ear and dragged him to his grandfather.
"Look at what you've done. Your grandfather almost died and vomited blood!"
Although, before this, their family had disliked the old man and his wife.
The main reason is that they are too profit-oriented and look down on country folk like them, so it is very awkward for everyone to get along with each other.
But this time, after Zhao Wei got into trouble, the old man's breath made Zhao Yong wake up.
There are no bad parents in the world. It is a great favor that they gave birth to you. If they did not raise you, it is not because they did not want to, but because they were framed by bad people.
Although the two elder brothers were stubborn, had bad tempers, and even found fault with him and his family, the blood relationship was there.
He would really feel heartbroken when he saw his own parents getting into trouble.
At that time, he was about to be taken to the hospital for treatment, but the old man himself strongly refused to go. In the end, they had to find a barefoot doctor, who prescribed some medicine to temporarily stabilize his condition.
But now, the old man, who was originally quite energetic, is suddenly bedridden and looks even older.
Zhao Yong now has only endless regret in his heart.
"Dad, please wake up soon. Zhao Wei is fine. Your grandson is still alive. Really, I didn't lie to you..."
The old lady at the side kept using her cane and said to him, "Go away, don't mention this matter here. He is old and can't stand the stimulation. You all should go out. I will be the only one guarding here."
The old lady had spoken, so Zhao Yong had no choice but to leave in shame in the face of this rather majestic mother.
He had just left when he saw Zhao Wei had cleared out all the people in the yard and was being dragged over by Wang Caigu, screaming.
Zhao Yong hurried forward.
"Don't hurt my son, be gentle!"
Wang Caigu pushed him away and said, "Don't worry about it. This is what your son did. He has to bear the consequences."
So, Zhao Wei was dragged into the house and made to kneel down in front of the old lady to admit his mistake to the old man.
Zhao Wei looked at the dried blood on the bed, then looked at Yunxiu, who had been responsible for taking care of the old man and was sweating profusely. He felt a little uncomfortable and repented.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you guys the first time. I won't do it again."
The old lady didn't hear clearly what he was saying at this time. She just looked at her grandson who came back to life in surprise. Her heart was filled with endless joy, and she kept pushing the old man.
"My dear, stop pretending to be asleep and wake up. It really is our grandson. He is not dead!"
This was the first time in a long time that the old lady showed such a loving expression, and Zhao Wei was quite flattered.
As for the old man, no one expected that he was pretending to sleep.
Zhao Wei's guilt suddenly faded a lot.
Does the old man care about his life or death?
You’re probably just afraid that the Zhao family will be extinct!
Rather than feeling sorry for the old man, the person he should feel sorry for the most is Yunxiu.
"Wife, come here, my feet hurt a little, give me a hand."
As soon as Zhao Wei said his feet hurt, Yunxiu, who was washing towels, immediately dropped the work in her hands and ran to him and helped him up without even taking care of the old man.
Aunt Wang Cai was also supporting him from the other side, and said with some concern: "Son, mother didn't know you were not feeling well. Just now, you blamed me for being too impatient. Come on, let's help you go back and rest."
She said, such a serious incident happened, how could Zhao Wei escape from such a dangerous situation unscathed.
I don’t know how much I have suffered in these two days.
Zhao Wei did not say anything. He was really tired. In the past two days, in order to find the evidence of Wang Hu's crimes, he and several of his apprentices, as well as Captain Zhou and his men, were exhausted.
Fortunately, everything went as planned and it was the best arrangement.
Zhao Wei was supported and just walked to the door of the main room when he heard a muffled "bang" coming from the inner room.
The old lady followed him out at some point, slamming her cane heavily on the cobblestones, her cloudy eyes gleaming with a gleam: "Don't go!"
Zhao Yong and Wang Caigu froze at the same time. Zhao Wei looked up and saw that the old lady's hunched back suddenly straightened up, like an old hen with its feathers blown off.
He subconsciously leaned closer to Yunxiu and smelled the faint herbal scent on his wife - that was the scent she got from taking care of the old man.
She herself is still a patient, and I don’t know if she has recovered.
Alas...what a pitiful woman.
All his heart is now on his daughter-in-law, and he is not very interested in the aggressive old lady.
The kind side of him just now was like a flash in the pan.
"Speak clearly!" The old lady pointed at Zhao Wei tremblingly, "What on earth have you been doing these past few days? Everyone in the village said you were dead, but you came back like nothing happened!"
Just as Wang Caigu was about to open her mouth to defend herself, Zhao Wei gently squeezed his wife's hand, signaling her not to speak.
He took a deep breath and told the old lady about how he was framed and almost killed. Then he followed the clues and found out some evidence of the crimes committed by the new president Wang Hu.
Then, I heard a rustling sound coming from the inner room.
It was the old man who got up, wrapped in gray cloth clothes, and half of his body leaned out tremblingly.
"You are so courageous, it is really impressive. You did a good job this time."
"What a pity. Sigh... If I had paved the way for you two years earlier, your future would not have stopped here."
"Now... it's too late."
Zhao Wei suddenly laughed out loud: "Grandpa, you think too much, I think now is just right, why do you have to climb up, look at you, how miserable you are after falling from a high position!"
The old man was a little angry and said, "I was framed. It can't be a big deal. Once the investigation is thorough, I will be cleared of all charges."
At that time, he will still be able to return to his original position and continue to live in the family compound.
He is still the boss there who has the final say, and no one dares to fart in front of him.
Zhao Yong opened his mouth, wanted to say something but swallowed it back.
It was a blessing that the old man was not arrested and reformed. He even wanted to go back to the past. What a foolish dream.
However, let the old man have something to think about, otherwise his life will be so boring.
Instead, Yunxiu asked softly, "Aren't you injured? Do you still have the energy to chat here? Let's go back to the room and rest."
"I'm just tired and miss you, my wife." Zhao Wei leaned on his wife's shoulder pitifully and suddenly felt his eyes sore.
He had been running around outside these two days and had never been afraid when facing Wang Hu's minions. But now, in front of his family, he was like a wronged child.
