Chapter 92 Chapter 92 Xia Li followed her aunt obediently...
Charlie followed her aunt obediently and could hear the heavy sighs coming from the front.
Her heart trembled again, and she looked at Jiang Dong embarrassedly, motioning him to follow with the child in his arms.
Although Xia Pingzhi had never met her niece-in-law, she had never had a good impression of this person she had never met. It could even be said that she had a very bad impression of him.
How could a man who could get himself into trouble be considered a responsible person? Furthermore, she was also a woman. A woman who wanted to leave her family at all costs, no matter what the reason, would not be able to escape the responsibility of Charlie's husband.
Now that their lives had settled down, what was this person doing here? Xia Pingzhi didn't want her peaceful life to be disrupted by an accident. The appearance of Jiang Zai's father today was a huge surprise to her.
The only one among the three who was not affected was probably Jiang Zai. His mood was completely opposite to everyone else's. He could be said to be very happy.
Jiang Zai didn't understand why. He was still so excited to see his dad. His dad was even more generous, bringing him the grilled sausages he'd always wanted. He hugged his dad's neck tightly, one hand still holding the bag Jiang Dong had been holding, his face gleaming with joy.
The little feet were restless and thrashing around. Jiang Dong grabbed them and restrained them, which moved like a fish's tail. Jiang Zai wasn't angry, but felt particularly safe and contented, smiling.
Xia Pingzhi arrived at her home, took out the key and opened the door, then walked in without looking back, regardless of the people behind her. She walked across the yard and into the house without saying a word.
Xia Li followed in, and after waiting for Jiang Dong to come in with the child, she locked the door. She looked at the closed door and sighed heavily.
"Let's go!" she said.
She asked Jiang Dong to put the child down. Her aunt must be in a very upset mood now. Now seeing him "entering the house" with the child in his arms, her mood must be even worse!
Xia Li brought Jiang Zai into the house and saw her aunt sitting quietly in the living room, not saying a word with a calm face. She didn't even raise her head when she heard her bring the child in.
After thinking for a moment, she bent down slightly and pushed Jiang Zai, "Go, comfort my aunt, and tell her not to be angry with her mother anymore."
Charlie's face was filled with hope and flattery. She was wrong to hide this from her aunt. But even if she wanted to tell her, she had to find the right time. She hadn't waited until the right moment came, and who knew she would be seen like this?
Oh my God, how long has it been? Others can hide their children from their parents for more than ten years without letting them find out, so how come she was exposed so quickly just because she was hiding a man?
Jiang Zai was very confused after hearing what his mother said. He didn't know why his aunt was angry. He had never seen his aunt angry before, but now his aunt was different from before.
Jiangzai has always been Xia Pingzhi's favorite child. She sends him to school every day and picks him up in person when it's time. Chengdu Xia Li believes that her love for her child is beyond comparison. He turned his head and raised his little face to look at his mother, then walked over obediently and leaned on Xia Pingzhi. Xia Pingzhi couldn't bear to neglect the child and held him in her arms, "Jiangzai, good boy, grandma is not angry with our Jiangzai, grandma just feels sorry for our Jiangzai, such a good child, what's going on!"
What could the child have done wrong in today's incident? The ones at fault are the adults. They are all so confused.
Xia Pingzhi felt sorry for the child. She raised her head and glared at her niece standing next to her. Then, she asked unhappily, "Where is he?"
Don't even have the slightest sense of responsibility and just run away.
Charlie quickly said, "He's outside. How dare I let him in!" She smiled awkwardly.
Xia Pingzhi waved her hand. "They've been waiting outside today, so it's not strange for them to come in now. Let him in. I have something to ask you."
What her aunt said was indeed sharp. Charlie remembered the last time she secretly brought someone home.
This was Jiang Dong's second time coming to Xia Li's house after he came to help her repair the house, and it was also his first official visit.
It is said that an ugly daughter-in-law is afraid of meeting her parents-in-law, but Jiang Dong felt that his mood was probably no different from that of the ugly daughter-in-law. Even seeing Xia Li's biological mother did not make him so nervous.
He straightened his clothes and went into the living room.
Seeing Xia Pingzhi sitting in the living room, he glanced at Xia Li beside her, but did not see the small figure of his son Jiang Yi.
"Aunt, hello! I'm Jiang Dong. I should have come over to say hello to you a long time ago, but it took me so long. What happened today is all my fault. I just wanted to give the child some things and leave, but I didn't expect someone to misunderstand me. Please don't be angry with Xia Li, it's all my fault."
Xia Pingzhi snorted softly, "I haven't said anything yet! I don't care what happened before. Since you and Xia Li have already separated, you should part ways amicably. It would be great if the two of you could live in peace and start a new life. Why do you keep getting entangled?"
Xia Pingzhi simply thought Jiang Dong was harassing Xia Li. This niece-in-law had been incarcerated, and it would definitely have an impact on the child's future development and future. How could such a person raise a child well?
She said earnestly, "You are still young. It's okay for young people to make mistakes. Just correct them in the future. I also understand your love for your child and your longing for him. Jiangzai is a good child, and I love him as my own sweetheart. But because we all love our children, we should know what is good for them. The child will gradually become sensible. If she knows that her father has made mistakes, it will not do her any good, right? You should understand what I mean."
Xia Li listened to her aunt say this, her eyes kept looking at Jiang Dong, her usually hard heart suddenly felt a little sorry. Her aunt didn't know his situation, so she said these things to him.
At this moment, Jiang Dong was listening attentively. When Aunt Xia Li said that everyone loved their children in the same way, he nodded in agreement. However, when she talked about his unfounded accusations, he just glanced at Xia Li lightly and did not refute it immediately.
However, he also knew that his elders had a deep misunderstanding of him, and even if everything was explained clearly today, it would be difficult for them to have a good impression of him.
Xia Li felt that she had to make things clear today and that she should explain everything to her aunt. It was her fault for having kept it from her for a few days.
She walked over to her aunt and sat down, her eyes full of apology. "Aunt, I'm really sorry. I saw him a long time ago, but I didn't tell you about it. First of all, I want to make it clear to you that what I told you before about Jiang Dong being in prison was actually false. That person didn't really understand the situation. If he really made a mistake at the time, he wouldn't be standing here now. So he is a clean slate now."
When Jiang Dong heard the person Xia Li was talking about, he knew that this person was Zhang Zhiyuan. At this moment, he felt a little regretful that he had let him go at that time. He had caused him so much trouble. He really should have punched him a few more times.
Xia Pingzhi hadn't expected such a thing to happen. She opened her mouth, a bit embarrassed, and secretly sighed that she was lucky to have coaxed Jiang Zai into his room early, and that she hadn't pointed out his shortcomings so openly. Despite this, she still didn't like Jiang Donglai interrupting their lives.
Real disputes are not like diplomatic negotiations, with back-and-forth, arguments, and lively discussions. More often, they are like arguments, where no matter what is reasonable, they fight to the death, or like the scene happening in the Xia family's living room, with occasional awkwardness and silence.
Jiang Dong was grateful to Xia Li's aunt for helping him take care of his son, and he was even more grateful for her care and concern for his niece. He knew that Xia Pingzhi wouldn't accept him so quickly, but Jiang Dong wasn't one to take a loss. He explained the previous incident to Xia Pingzhi again, and told her how he had been waiting and looking for Xia Li for so many years. He had only one wife and had never thought of starting over with someone else.
As for the issue of the child, Jiang Dong made it clear that he would never give up. He was willing for the child to live with Xia Li, but this did not mean that he did not want the child, nor did it mean that he could not visit the child in the future. This was his right as a father.
After hearing this, Xia Pingzhi was speechless for a long time. After a long while, she waved her hand and said, "Xia Li, I'm tired and need to rest. Please send him out."
Xia Li wanted to go forward and help her aunt up, but Xia Pingzhi asked Xia Li to send the guests out first and she was fine.
She needed to calm down alone, as today's incident was too sudden.
When Xia Li accompanied Jiang Dong out, she was still worried. She looked listless, like a sick cat. Fortunately, this was a straight road without any potholes. Otherwise, with Xia Li not paying attention to the road, she would have fallen.
"Okay, okay, I think I should be the one who is more troubled by this kind of thing. If your aunt doesn't let me see the child in anger, you will definitely not help me then, and I will be the one with a headache in the end. Don't be dejected, go back and say something nice to her. I think she treats you more sincerely than your own mother, and she will definitely not blame you." Jiang Dong analyzed.
When Charlie heard him talk about this woman, the sound of her feet stepping on the cobblestones became much stronger, "Don't mention her to me!"
Xia Li was annoyed when she heard about her biological mother, and Jiang Dong knew it, so he obediently stopped talking about it. Xia Li originally wanted to send him out the door and go back, but Jiang Dong grabbed her arm and refused to let go.
She looked up impatiently and asked if there was anything else, as she had to go back quickly.
"Don't go back yet. I see there's a food stall near your house. Buy some and bring it back later. I guess you guys aren't in the mood to cook tonight." Jiang Dong smiled bitterly.
Charlie thought about it and realized that it was true. "Let's go."
Arriving at the main street ahead, Jiang accompanied Xia Li to buy some prepared food, including staples and side dishes. He paid and handed the bill to Xia Li. "Go home. Don't overthink it. There's always a way to solve it. Oh, by the way, I didn't say goodbye to the child. Can you explain to him for me? Just tell him that Dad will come see him next time."
