"And think about it carefully, how long has it been since we had a proper conversation? Now that we have a child, we don't even have time for just the two of us anymore. The nanny is taking care of the children, so what are you worried about? Do you really have to take care of them yourself to feel at ease? Children and grandchildren have their own joys, don't you understand that?"
Jiang Guofu was also quite bitter inside.
Besides arranging her son's marriage, this daughter-in-law's favorite thing to do was to think about him.
Now, let alone thinking about it, even talking to it too much gets annoying.
Jiang Guofu has now become the least influential person in the family.
The two children are definitely the first priority, then the daughter-in-law, then the son, and finally the two of them.
Jiang Guofu still has a few years until retirement, and he really doesn't want to repeat the same things every day after retirement.
"Xiuyun, if you slack off occasionally, no one will say anything to you. Your son and daughter-in-law are both reasonable people and will appreciate your efforts. You should also think about yourself."
“Of course I know the children are quite sensible. I’m doing this so they have time to do what they want,” Hua Xiuyun said earnestly. “Besides, I made it clear when Zhaoyue first got pregnant that I would take care of the children after they were born, and they could do whatever they wanted. You can’t go back on your word! The two children are only a few months old now, and I simply can’t bear to leave them with the nanny and not take care of them. If something really goes wrong later, it will be too late to regret it!”
Jiang Guofu's negotiations failed again.
He couldn't win against Hua Xiuyun.
We couldn't argue before we got married, and we still can't argue now.
I'm destined to listen to my wife for the rest of my life.
Jiang Guofu thought to himself, and sighed resignedly. Since it was inconvenient to go out now, he would wait until the child started kindergarten. Perhaps then his son and daughter-in-law would be less busy.
...
On the third day after Lin Zhaoyue and the others returned, they suddenly received a phone call from their hometown: "Bai Jie is dead."
He died directly in the hospital.
Lin Zhaoyue inquired about the situation carefully, and Lin Dajun only said, "It was death caused by massive bleeding, so homicide can almost be ruled out."
"impossible!"
If it were truly a case of death from massive bleeding, then bleeding would occur every two days after childbirth; how could it possibly take so long!
Lin Zhaoyue didn't believe it.
"Sigh, I don't really believe it either, but that's the truth. Anything can happen. The person has already been buried in the village. We notified the Bai family, but no one from there came."
"..." Lin Zhaoyue still couldn't accept it.
I could clearly sense Bai Jie's desire to live last time.
How could this happen so suddenly?
Lin Zhaoyue stood there stunned, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Jingzhou asked her what had happened.
Lin Zhaoyue told him.
Jiang Jingzhou didn't say anything, only that he would arrange for someone to keep an eye on the Bai family.
"Don't you also think it might have been the Bai family? Since they don't want this daughter anymore, they're capable of anything! Could they be trying to silence her?"
"Hmm." To put it bluntly, it's murder to silence a witness. Jiang Jingzhou said in a low voice, "Zhaoyue, you must be careful when you go out now. Be vigilant. If you notice anything wrong, prioritize your own safety and try to go to crowded places. Don't be alone."
"You mean the Bai family still wants to fight me?"
"Nothing can be predicted, so it's always better to be cautious."
"..." Jiang Jingzhou said in a low voice. Lin Zhaoyue nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, I understand."
...
Fang family.
Fang Leiluo took a long leave to go home and visit his parents. Fang's mother was most worried about her son's unmarried situation.
You have to find someone else as soon as you get divorced; you can't stay single!
Fang Leiluo had no interest in that.
"Mother, I just want to come back and spend time with you now. You don't need to worry about my marriage."
"How can that be! Marriage is a matter of men and women, and you're already so old. Of course you should find someone else as soon as possible, otherwise you won't have anyone who cares about you in the future. Even if your father and I die, we won't be at peace."
Fang's mother earnestly advised, "You have to listen to me on this matter! Making a choice quickly is always better than letting yourself overthink it. My son is so outstanding, he can find any woman he wants!"
"You can't find someone like Lin Zhaoyue."
Fang Leiluo spoke frankly and directly.
"Mother, if you can help me find someone like that, I'll marry not just one, but two!"
"..." That's really hard to find!
Fang's mother wanted to find a wife for her son back home. After all, this was his second marriage. It might not be easy to find a first-time wife in the city, but it was very easy to find one back home!
"The most important thing is that you can leave this wife at home. She can take good care of me and your father in your place. However, you will need to come back often. Once she gets pregnant, we won't need you anymore!"
"Mother, what kind of person am I in your heart?"
Fang Leiluo forced a bitter smile. Why did he feel like he was being treated like livestock?
Does that mean you can just get married and marry anyone you want? Does that mean two people can get married without any feelings for each other at all?
"I don't want to find someone I have no feelings for again,"
Fang Leiluo said earnestly, "At the very least, we need to be able to talk things through, she needs to understand my work, and then we can consider our future together!"
"That's easy. I'll have a matchmaker introduce you to someone tomorrow. I'll definitely find you a good-looking one!"
"..." Fang Leiluo didn't take his mother's words seriously at all. How could it be so easy? A wife just appears on demand?
impossible!
However, the next day, when no one returned the girl, he actually brought her home!
The girl had two braids and seemed very shy. She was pretty, with regular features, but...
When Fang Leiluo heard that she had no parents, he immediately disagreed, "No way,"
This is clearly taking advantage of the fact that their family has no one to make decisions.
That girl is so beautiful, she shouldn't marry a divorced man!
“Okay! Her older brother and sister-in-law are in charge of her now, the eldest brother is like a father to her, and when her family heard that you were a military officer, they were immediately very satisfied and couldn’t wait for you two to get married today. How about this, if you nod, we can discuss how to arrange the marriage today.”
The matchmaker was quite agreeable.
Fang Leiluo still disagreed.
"..." The girl's expression turned a little unpleasant after being rejected one after another.
"We need to discuss this further. Why don't you go back first, and we'll talk about it again when we've reached a consensus as a family!"
"Sister-in-law, such a good marriage is hard to find even with a lantern, what's there to discuss!"
