Chapter 211 Wei Family Meeting
After returning to the capital and spending several days learning about the current situation, Wei Yang felt that this place and the Northwest were like two different worlds.
The absurd and terrifying things happening here are unbelievable, making the Northwest seem like a paradise on earth.
Unable to see the current situation clearly, and not knowing when it would end, he managed to meet Wei Zhao and her three children, who were being held captive, after smoothing things over.
Compared to the last time they met, Wei Zhao had become so thin that his cheeks were sunken.
The first thing Wei Zhao asked Wei Yang when she saw him was how her lover was doing.
Wei Yang shook his head: "I can't see him, sister. Get a divorce and cut ties with him. Come with me to Xinjiang Province, I'll take you away."
If Wei Zhao had brought up divorce when she was first imprisoned, she would have refused without hesitation, and that's exactly what she did.
But after staying here for so long, she really couldn't bear to see her three children suffer here with her.
Wei Yang noticed her hesitation and continued, "Eldest sister has already severed ties with brother-in-law. This is a temporary measure. Third sister, for the sake of the children, make a decision as soon as possible."
Wei Yang was a tough man who had been on the battlefield. If he hadn't understood the unusual circumstances of the current situation, he wouldn't have suggested divorce when his wife was in distress.
Wei Zhao shook her head and said, "Your brother-in-law is just a university professor, unlike him. They come to ask me every day... I can't say anything. Even if we get divorced, they won't let us go."
Wei Yang said calmly, "As long as you're willing to get a divorce, I'll figure out the rest. I'll find a way to pass on a message to him, telling him it's a temporary measure and he won't blame you."
Adding insult to injury at this time would undoubtedly be an even heavier blow to someone in distress. Wei Yang hopes he can hold on and that he can receive a just trial.
Two days later, Wei Yang passed the message to his third brother-in-law. After smoothing things over, Wei Yang finally got Wei Zhao and her three children out.
The former residence was no longer accessible, and Wei Zhao had no chance to retrieve his and his child's personal belongings.
Wei Zhao, who had been so proud for so many years, stood at his own doorstep and cried.
Wei Yang said, "Go to your second sister's place first. I'll come back tonight. Just tell me what you need and I'll get it for you."
Wei Zhao shook his head: "Forget it, let's not take the risk..."
Thinking of the family savings book, she paused. She didn't know if anyone had been to her house, or if any valuables were still there.
Wei Zhao thought for a moment and realized that she couldn't take out some conspicuous valuables, but she had to take out the hidden savings book. Otherwise, she couldn't live off Wei Yang's salary while raising her child.
Wei Zhao told Wei Yang where the savings book was, and then said, "Pick out a set of worn-out clothes for me and the child from the cabinet."
With the person safely rescued, Wei Yang finally felt a huge weight lifted from his shoulders.
At night, he quietly sneaked into Wei Zhao's former residence.
This area is very quiet because many families have had accidents, and there are notices posted on their doors.
Wei Yang climbed up the big willow tree and entered the second-floor window by the moonlight. When he saw the situation inside, his face darkened.
The place had been turned upside down, and there was no trace of the passbooks where they were kept.
The wardrobe was also ransacked, but at least some clothes were still left inside.
Given the state of the house, Wei Yang simply packed all the clothes from the wardrobe into the cloth bag he had brought.
The whole house was a mess, and everything of value had been looted.
Wei Yang left the house feeling dejected.
When he returned and met Wei Zhao, he explained the situation. Wei Zhao then proceeded to berate the robbers who took advantage of the chaos for over ten minutes.
Wei Yang's eldest sister, Wei Shao, said, "Alright, safety is the most important thing right now. You should control your temper in the future. If people find out about your past identity when you go there with Wei Yang, you'll probably be in trouble."
Wei Yang didn't know when the gust of wind would end, or whether it would blow away.
As the center of the country, this place is watched by the entire nation. If the wind continues for a long time, it will surely sweep across the entire country.
He needs to be prepared for any eventuality.
As Wei Yang pondered, Wei Zhao said, "I don't want to leave. I'm afraid that if I leave, something might happen to him..."
Wei Shao advised, "You should leave. I will notify you immediately if anything happens. Your presence here won't change anything."
Wei Yang's fourth sister said, "Third sister, you've always been headstrong and no one can do anything about you. This time you have to listen to the family and think about the children. Now is not the time for you to be stubborn."
Wei Yang's second sister said, "Because of you, we were all called in for questioning. Do you know how scared we were? We didn't want you to marry him, but you insisted on going. Now look what happened..."
Fearing his second sister might say something hurtful, Wei Yang coughed heavily and said, "Alright, everything's fine now, isn't it? If something had happened, it wouldn't have been Third Sister's fault. What's the use of complaining now?"
Wei Yang's younger brother shouted in a hoarse voice, "Second sister, don't accept the foreign exchange certificates when Third sister gives them to you. Now that something has happened, it hasn't really affected you, but you're already saying such nasty things. This is called crossing the river and burning the bridge!"
Wei Yang's second sister wanted to beat up this brat.
She was a little resentful towards her third sister and her husband, but it wasn't to the point of abandoning them after they'd served their purpose, was it? She was just saying it casually, wanting her third sister to quickly distance herself from that person.
She wanted to argue a bit more, but then she realized that even if she won, it wouldn't be meaningful, and she would just get scolded by Wei Yang, so she simply shut up.
Wei Zhao bit her lip, her eyes reddening.
Her husband is much older than her, but he is wise, knowledgeable, very tolerant, and has outstanding work ability. To her, her husband is an exceptional person.
She insisted on getting married back then, and wouldn't listen to any of her family's attempts to stop her.
She still doesn't regret it, but she's worried that he'll think she's abandoned him...
Seeing Wei Zhao's red eyes, Wei Shao changed the subject.
Wei Shao looked at Wei Yang and said, "Didn't you say you were going to visit your girlfriend's family? It's your first time visiting, so you should bring a gift. We also have some good tea, so bring it along."
Wei Yang's second sister said, "Given the situation at home, and with Mom and Dad unable to come back, you two will probably have to get married in Xinjiang. Since you're not coming back to hold the ceremony, you need to make the most of the gift this time."
Wei Yang nodded, "I know what I'm doing. Third Sister will come with me."
Wei Shao said, "We've seen the photos you sent back. Your boyfriend is really handsome."
When Song Lubai was mentioned, a smile appeared in Wei Yang's eyes.
"She has a good personality; she even made me a dress before I left."
Wei Yang's fourth sister said, "If it weren't for this matter, you two could have come back to handle it, we could have had some fun, and I could have seen what that girl actually looks like."
…
The Wei family talked about Song Lubai, which dispelled their previous unpleasantness.
The Wei siblings were already used to discussing matters without their parents present.
Important matters are discussed and resolved together, and Wei Yang, as the eldest male in the family, will also shoulder the responsibilities he should bear.
Although he was the one who did all the work to get Wei Zhao and the child out of trouble, his family members also helped to smooth things over.
For them, the best outcome is that their family is safe and sound. Minor arguments are harmless and have long been commonplace in this family.
