At that time, Zhang Shuxian had given up her job and became a complete housewife, relying on Cheng Qingjun's salary. Now that Qin Lanzhi is dead, he wants to keep his virginity for her and is unwilling to touch her!
It's really ridiculous!
At that time, she laid her cards on Cheng Qingjun's table, but what she got was an impatient question: "Lanzhi is already dead, what are you fighting for with a dead person? If her identity wasn't problematic, I wouldn't be able to marry you!"
Even the children she raised looked at her with hatred: "Auntie Lanzhi is our mother!"
It turned out that even the children knew about Qin Lanzhi's existence. When she was washing clothes and cooking for them at home, Cheng Qingjun brought the children and Qin Lanzhi to enjoy the father's kindness and filial piety.
Especially the baby Cheng Zeming, who was only about one year old when she was brought home. She was weak and sick all year round. She couldn't eat or sleep at night because of taking care of the child. The conditions were not good at that time, and she had to exchange the remaining food rations for eggs for the child.
What did he get in return? Cheng Zeming had known for a long time that his mother was Qin Lanzhi. While enjoying Zhang Shuxian's care, he also felt sorry for Qin Lanzhi: "Mom, when she dies in the future, Dad will definitely marry you!"
She had loved her child for more than ten years and hoped that she would die soon!
Zhang Shuxian hated Cheng Qingjun's deception so much that she wanted to report him for having an affair!
But at this time, Cheng Qingjun was the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. He was not afraid of Zhang Shuxian's words at all. He just watched her go crazy with cold eyes: "Think it over before you go in, and see if anyone believes what you say? You can't have children yourself, so I could have divorced you directly and brought the child back for you to raise. What else are you not satisfied with?"
Zhang Shuxian's father used to be a traditional Chinese painting master, but he passed away a few years ago, leaving nothing behind except a few calligraphy and paintings. And she has been a housewife for so long, how can she compare with Cheng Qingjun's family status?
Qin Lanzhi was already dead, and there was no evidence. She had never even met the woman who destroyed her family!
Seeing Zhang Shuxian didn't say anything, Cheng Qingjun's tone softened: "What's the point of fighting with the deceased? We have been husband and wife for such a long time, and I have feelings for you. You should calm down, then go cook for the children, and take care of them safely. In the future, they will also take care of you until the end of your life."
The oldest child was fourteen years old, and the youngest was only six. They all looked at her impatiently: "We are all hungry, go and cook."
Zhang Shuxian calmed down: "I understand."
Cheng Qingjun was satisfied, and he even broke the silence and hugged her: "Shuxian, you are old, no matter whether you are really infertile or not, it is unrealistic to have children. Let's live a good life as a family in the future. Others will only envy you if you have a child."
Oh!
She was indeed old, childless, jobless, and her parents had passed away. At that time, her father's calligraphy and paintings were not worth much and were piled in a corner like a few pieces of waste paper. She was alone and had no one to rely on.
Cheng Qingjun was sure that she would not make a fuss, and so she did not dare to.
But he didn't expect that Zhang Shuxian sent his parents away that afternoon, packed up the calligraphy and paintings at home and the remaining dozens of dollars, and took a bus directly to Haicheng. Couples in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China didn't have any marriage certificates, so she could leave at will without telling anyone.
Even Brother Shen and the others didn't know, and she didn't have the face to tell them. At that time, everyone had their own families, got married and had children, and occasionally got together, but she rarely went because she had to take care of the children.
She couldn't let her brother Shen's family be unstable just because her life was not going well.
She had never been afraid in the battlefield, so why should she be afraid of going to Haicheng alone?
But after she left, Cheng Qingjun and the other child began to think of her kindness. After some inquiries, they finally learned that she had gone to Haicheng. They came here to look for her several times, trying to persuade her to change her mind.
But Zhang Shuxian directly threatened Cheng Qingjun: "If you show up again, I will dig up Qin Lanzhi's grave and scatter it in front of your office!"
Cheng Qingjun finally understood her determination, and after returning, she never dared to show up again. Therefore, all the neighbors in the building knew that Grandma Zhang had a child, but no one had shown up...
Perhaps it was retribution, for except for the eldest child Cheng Zesheng, who was carefully raised by Zhang Shuxian until he was a teenager, the other two children became ill during the famine and died at a young age.
Cheng Zesheng's two sons, Cheng Zhaohui and Cheng Jiangnan, have had some news, and the Cheng family has been living a better life in recent years.
But such a thing could not be hidden from Mr. Shen and his family. If Zhang Shuxian had not written a letter to dissuade them, they would have killed the ungrateful Cheng family. But Zhang Shuxian told them: "Brother Shen, I just want to live a peaceful life."
She didn't want Shen Ge and the others to sacrifice their own future for their own sake.
…
Xie Yunshu never thought that she would hear such a story. She was so angry that she almost kicked the table down: "Grandma, where is that damn old man now?"
"The last time I went to Jingbei was because he passed away."
Decades have passed, and when Granny Zhang mentioned this matter again, she no longer felt happy or sad. She smiled and touched Xie Yunshu's hair: "I used to want to kill him, but if I had always lived in the past, I would have been very sad every day for the past few decades."
She had lived quite comfortably in Haicheng these years, working an ordinary and honorable job, moving from the dormitory building to the tube building. Although the neighbors had complicated feelings, there were more good things in the end.
Xie Yunshu was still angry: "He's dead, why are you still attending his funeral? You're just there to lift the lid of the coffin!"
Grandma Zhang smiled and lifted the coffin lid. This really seemed like something Yunshu could do: "I have some of my father's belongings in Beijing North. When he died, he felt guilty and left a will for me. I just went back to get the things."
녦It still sounds very frustrating...
Xie Yunshu gritted his teeth and stood up to leave: "The old man is dead, but his grandson is still alive. I'm going to have a meal with Cheng Jiangnan first."
She shouldn't have kicked him once, she should have kicked him more than ten times, and then used the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms! She was really mad. Cheng Jiangnan clearly knew about the previous grudges, but now he had the nerve to bring a child to ask the old lady to go back to Jingbei!
Isn’t it just a bet that grandma is soft-hearted and has a good temper?
Is that true repentance, wanting to take care of grandma until the end of her life? Not at all, it's because the Cheng family is in trouble now, so they want grandma to go back! Because grandma Zhang still has several valuable calligraphy and paintings, and she has a good relationship with Mr. Shen. If she can really persuade grandma, the Cheng family can survive this crisis.
