When Fu Wei returned home, he heard Zheng Baozhen and Mother Chen chatting in the kitchen as soon as he entered the door.
"Why is Xiaobao so honest? He told me about being bullied in the orphanage. When I asked him, he said he wanted to make me angry."
This is Zheng Baozhen's voice, and there is a hint of heartache in her tone. Does she know who this Baobao is?
"You are the one who usually takes care of him, so of course he feels sorry for you. Knowing that you are in good health, he didn't eat the eggs this morning and said he wanted to give them to you!" Mother Chen replied with a smile.
"Silly child, do I still get to eat eggs?" Zheng Baozhen laughed out loud.
"녦놊, really? I think this child is the kindest and knows how to be grateful." Mother Chen agreed with a smile.
Mother Chen turned her head and saw Fu Wei standing at the door. She quickly called out, "Fu Wei is back! Come sit over there. The meal will be ready soon."
The smile on Zheng Baozhen's face froze, and he said calmly, "Just wait here."
Fu Wei said "Oh", returned to the living room by himself and sat on the sofa.
There was a sense of emptiness in the house. Fu Yuting and Fu Ran were both in their rooms and did not come out.
He seemed to have seen Zheng Baozhen smiling in the kitchen just now.
Since when did he no longer see a smile on her face?
He himself had forgotten it.
When the two of them first met, Zheng Baozhen was a little coquettish. She acted like a little bird in front of him, and when she spoke, she always made him feel very useful.
Zheng Baozhen has never had a hard life and is good at everything. Sometimes when he is with his mother, they quarrel over trivial matters.
At that time, Fu Wei often went home and often became the target of the two people's anger, but they still loved each other very much.
Just like in most families, the eldest child, Yunhai, was born soon, followed by 꿁婷 and Ranran.
Zheng Baozhen is really good at housework. Whenever something happens at Chen's mother's house, she stays at home to help.
Mr. Fu devoted himself to scientific research and spent very few days at home. Later, Fu Wei was also given an important position, and his days at home became extremely busy.
The old lady, with her husband and son by her side, would harass her daughter-in-law. Zheng Baozhen was also spoiled and often got angry, and finally had to split the family.
She moved to this yard, leaving the old lady alone.
The intensification of the conflict reached its peak at that time.
The old lady had a heart disease. Zheng Baozhen had told Fu Wei many times and asked him to take her to the hospital.
But Fu Wei was busy, and the old lady was stubborn, saying that Zheng Baozhen was cursing her, and no matter how she tried to persuade him, she would not go.
Until one day, she fell down from the old house. When she was sent to the hospital, people had already arrived and treated her.
The old lady's death created a gap between the two people who were once in love.
The old man was also reluctant to go home, for fear of touching upon something hurtful.
Fu Wei has always felt guilty. If he had been sent to the hospital earlier, or if Zheng Baozhen had not made a fuss about dividing the family property, perhaps the old lady would have died.
After that, Fu Wei felt a thorn in his heart and he was no longer as enthusiastic towards Zheng Baozhen as before.
Women are sensitive, so how can they feel the changes in their husbands? She ran to Fu Wei's office, and a female colleague almost fell down, but he just helped her up.
Zheng Baozhen was making a big fuss there.
In the end, the incident had a serious impact. The lesbian was fired and later divorced her husband because of the rumor.
Fu Wei thought Zheng Baozhen was being unreasonable, and Zheng Baozhen thought Fu Wei had changed his mind.
That was when the two of them drifted further and further apart!
At this time Zheng Baozhen came out, holding a dish in her hand, and placed it on the table with an expressionless face.
She called over, "It's time to eat."
Then the children came down, Fu Ran supported Abuyi, and Fu Yuting followed behind.
Without Su Xiaoluo present, the meal seemed even more deserted.
After dinner, Fu Ran prepared medicine and a glass of water for him.
Then, there seemed to be nothing else to say. Fu Wei took the medicine and felt suffocated, so he went outside to get some fresh air.
Fu Yuting was about to go out, and Fu Wei asked, "Where are you going?"
"Go see Jiujiu." Fu Yuting said.
"You just met yesterday." Fu Wei blurted out.
Fu Yuting frowned slightly and asked, "Dad, do you think my relationship with Yujiu is good?"
"Of course it is." Fu Wei said, "You are going to be the principal soon, and there are still many things to prepare. The task is heavy, and you can't just do it perfunctorily."
"You are doubting my expertise." Fu Yuting said coldly, "You have never trusted anyone. If the country thinks I am qualified, they will naturally let me be the principal. What do you think?"
Fu Wei frowned and said, "You still have a lot to learn. How can you be so complacent?"
"I have been studying at home all day. Now after dinner, I want to see my lover. How do you know that I am complacent and I don't study hard? I am a human, not a machine. I hope you can respect me enough." Fu Yuting said in a calm voice.
Fu Wei frowned and asked, "Is this the first time a father like me has ever said anything to you?"
Fu Yuting said: "Of course it is your freedom. It is not good for our relationship to speculate without knowing the truth. What do you think?"
Fu Wei was so angry that he had a headache. He just said a few words, how could it be okay?
"The wings are hard."
"How many of you have been away from home? I am already a child of several years old." Fu Yuting said calmly, "Just take care of yourself."
Fu Yuting left.
Fu Wei sat in his seat, feeling angry but not knowing where to vent. He hurried into the room and found Zheng Baozhen. He asked, "How did you educate this child, Xiaoting? He talked back to me after I said a few words."
Zheng Baozhen looked at him and said slowly, "Why, you finally found a reason to quarrel with me?"
"Zheng Baozhen!"
"I'm deaf. Do you want your daughter and daughter-in-law to hear us quarreling?" Zheng Baozhen glared at him. "You have dignity, but I have it too."
"Then tell me about these children..."
"What's wrong with these children? The eldest is the director, the second is the general, Ma Xiao is going to be the principal, and the third Ma Xiao is going to be the director of the art troupe. What, have the children I, Zheng Baozhen, given birth to brought shame to you? Did you have such achievements as them when you were young?" Zheng Baozhen asked in a low voice.
Indeed not.
When Fu Wei was promoted, he was already 10 years old. These kids were not even 30 years old, and Fu Wei knew what he was satisfying.
This was just as he had imagined.
He said, "Do you contradict your mother just because you have achieved something? Your character is as stubborn as yours! If it were you, my mother..."
Fu Wei didn't say it out loud, this was a pain weighing on his heart.
Zheng Baozhen sneered: "Come on, why are you going to continue? Fu Wei, if you are still a man, just say it!"
