Chapter 85 Peaceful Life
"I know it was my son. I'm sorry to this girl. Tell me what you want me to do to forgive my bastard son. I promise you that my son will never harass this girl again."
Shi Yuechan said: "We don't need any compensation. As long as you can promise not to disturb our peaceful life, you can leave."
Knowing that this family was so understanding, the old man embarrassedly put down some gifts and left.
Shi Yuechan didn't want to accept it at first, but her parents said, "These gifts can be considered as compensation."
So the whole family accepted the gift.
After leaving the girl's house, Old Man Zheng did not go back, but went to the village chief's house.
They haven't had any contact for more than ten years.
Why connect again? That's because they want to use this matter to resolve a knot in their hearts.
Old Man Zheng came to the village chief's house.
The village chief entertained him out of respect.
However, the village chief still spoke to him very rudely.
"Please go back and tell your son not to bother my intelligence anymore. If I find out, I will definitely not let him go. Don't blame me for not respecting brotherly love."
"Yes, brother, I will definitely know how to do it."
The village chief's original surname was Zheng, and he was the eldest son of the Zheng family.
The two brothers are so discordant.
This story begins many years ago.
That was when the village chief was two years old. There was a sudden flood in his hometown. A kind-hearted couple rescued the village chief, but unfortunately their son was gone.
In order to repay the couple for saving their son's life, the village chief's parents gave the two-year-old village chief to the couple.
However, the couple died of illness one after another when the village chief was 8 years old.
The village chief's biological parents couldn't help but express their doubts about their biological son and tried every means to find him back.
At that time, the village chief's parents already had a youngest son, Zheng Laodi.
The two brothers have been separated for several years and their relationship is not very close.
When the two brothers grew up and were ready to get married.
It was even more unpleasant.
Because the two brothers fell in love with a girl from the same village at the same time, but the girl liked the village chief and not Old Man Zheng.
As for Old Man Zheng, relying on his family's favor, he insisted on marrying the girl.
Their parents had no choice but to agree when their son, who was trying to commit suicide and was determined to marry his daughter, did so.
In the end, the village chief married his current wife, and Old Man Zheng married the girl the village chief liked.
Not long after, they separated and Old Man Zheng went to live in town.
Until one day, the village chief's daughter fell ill. At that time, the village chief's family lived in poverty. In desperation, the village chief ran to the town to borrow money from Old Man Zheng.
But Old Man Zheng was still upset about the village chief trying to steal his wife, and he refused to lend him the money.
By the time his wife persuaded him to lend the money to the village chief, it was too late. The village chief's daughter died because she did not receive timely medical treatment.
She was the village chief's most beloved daughter and also the eldest daughter in his family, yet she died before she was even one year old.
As a result, the gap between the two brothers became wider and wider.
So they have kept to themselves over the years.
The two brothers didn't meet again until today.
In fact, they had met several times in the town before, but the two brothers thought that the other was still brooding over it. Before that matter was let go, the two didn't know what to say when they met, just like strangers.
…
"You came to me today, probably because of your son. If you want to settle accounts with me for the beating of your son by someone I ordered, then please go to the government and sue me."
"Between you and me, I know you are doing this for the good of your nephew. As your brother, I won't blame you. I am here to apologize to you for what happened to my little niece many years ago."
"No need to apologize. I will never get over this. She is my biological daughter. You had the money but didn't lend it to me. You cruelly let your niece die. This will always be a thorn in my heart. Even if your wife Xiu'er wants to persuade me to let go of my hatred for you, I will not agree."
"Brother, you must be joking. Hasn't Xiu'er been dead for several years? How could she come to persuade you?" said Old Man Zheng.
Speaking of Xiu'er, she is also a thorn in the brothers' hearts.
Originally, Xiu'er was a girl from their village. The village chief and Old Man Zheng's parents found a wife for him to make up for the village chief, but Old Man Zheng insisted on liking her.
Out of desperation, their parents agreed to let Old Man Zheng and Xiu'er be together.
The parents felt very guilty towards their eldest son for breaking up a couple who loved each other, but there was nothing they could do.
When talking about what happened back then, the village chief became furious.
But he didn't dare say it openly. After all, if his current wife knew that he was still obsessed with his brother's wife, she would probably make a fuss again.
"Anyway, I will never forgive you until I die. We should never have anything to do with each other again. You'd better leave now and don't force me to turn against you."
Just then, the village chief's wife came back and was a little surprised to see her brother-in-law here.
After all, the brother-in-law was not present when they got married, but he did fulfill all the etiquette.
Although there are few stories and the two don't meet often, the village head's wife still understands their relationship.
So when she saw Old Man Zheng, the village head's wife asked, "Mr. Zheng, what are you doing in this little place of ours?"
"I have nothing to do, so I came to visit my elder brother and his wife."
The village chief's wife had long known what her eldest nephew had done.
So today, Xiao Suzi didn't come to see them at all, but to apologize to the girl from the Shi family.
The villagers had heard about it as soon as he entered the village.
The village chief's wife raised her lips with a faint arc, and said softly: "Humph, I'm afraid your son's bad deeds have spread all over the village.
Although we are country people, we cannot let our children do whatever they want. ”
Old Man Zheng's face turned pale and red, and he stammered, "Sister-in-law, I am sorry for my poor parenting, brother, and Miss Shi. I came here today to apologize and to resolve the long-standing grudge between me and brother."
The village chief sat on the sidelines in silence. Hearing this, he snorted coldly, "Resolving the problem? That's easy for you to say. How can I resolve the problem of my daughter who died young?"
The village head's wife saw this and patted her husband on the shoulder, signaling him not to get angry. She turned to Old Man Zheng and said, "The past is painful and can't be turned over. You must keep a close eye on your son from now on and stop him from harming other girls."
"Big brother and sister-in-law are right. I will definitely discipline my son and will never let him harm other girls again."
Having said that, who knows what will happen in the future?
