"Grandma, I've been running all day today and I'm very tired."

"You have a good rest, I'll take a taxi." Zhu Weidong hurried out.

After Zhu Weidong left, the whole family looked unhappy.

Old Mrs. Zhu looked solemn. She consoled herself, "After encountering such a big change, how can a woman with a body like her bear it?"

The four brothers of the Zhu family all looked extremely unhappy.

They didn't know what kind of person Chi Fangping was, but their eldest brother's mentality and attitude towards Chi Fangping were wrong.

"Yes, a single mother who lost her child and has no one to rely on, how can her body bear it?" Zhu Weiyue repeated.

"That's why you should run around more often and help more."

Four of them didn't respond.

Old Mrs. Zhu sighed and said, "Okay, do whatever you want."

"Grandma, it's getting late, go get some rest." Zhu Yaowu stood up and walked over, helped the man up, and sent him to the guest room. "Brother knows what he is doing, we don't need to worry about him."

"Your elder brother is a worry-free person." Old Mrs. Zhu smiled and went back to the bedroom.

The four brothers in the living room looked at each other, waved their hands, and went back to their rooms.

Zhu Weidong came back the next day. The Zhu family was having breakfast when he dropped a thunderbolt.

"You're not going back to celebrate the New Year? What will Xiaoling do over there alone?" Mrs. Zhu was the first one to lose her temper after hearing this.

Zhu's father also put down his chopsticks and looked at Zhu Weidong seriously, "Xiaoling was running over to accompany you and reunite with you. She was pregnant, and you left her alone there. Have you ever considered her feelings?"

The four brothers of the Zhu family couldn't stand Zhu Weidong's behavior. They had been enduring it since yesterday, but now they couldn't endure it anymore.

Zhu Heping had the hottest temper and was the first to speak up, "Brother, you have now proven that your sister-in-law murdered your female classmate's child, right?"

"Nonsense," Zhu Weidong scolded. "The cause of the child's allergies is uncertain. I just know that your sister-in-law has been in contact with flowers. Now I am doing this to help her as much as possible."

"You mean well, but you're afraid you might do something bad." Zhu Yaowu reminded him sarcastically.

Old Madam Zhu motioned the children to be quiet. She said earnestly, "Weidong, you mean well, but what will your classmates think? They will think that Xiaoling caused the death of the child."

"Grandma, Chi Fangping is not that kind of person. I blame myself for this, but she is still trying to persuade me not to take the blame on myself."

Mrs. Zhu opened her mouth in astonishment, "Did you tell her?"

"She heard me and Yaowu talking in the hospital that day."

"She is quite scheming."

"Be aggressive." Zhu Weidong scolded.

Zhu Yaowu pursed his lips and said nothing.

Old Mrs. Zhu didn’t know how to persuade them. Things were obviously beyond their understanding. She looked to the old man beside her for help.

Father Zhu stood up with his hands on the table, glanced at Zhu Weidong indifferently, said "Follow me", and went back to the study.

Zhu Weidong followed him, leaving Old Mrs. Zhu and her four grandchildren staring at each other in amazement.

"Don't tell your sister-in-law. Just keep your mouth shut. Do you hear me?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Yaowu glared at him.

Zhu Weiyue rubbed his head, still smiling.

Old Mrs. Zhu said, "I pretended to be sick to deceive your sister-in-law, but there is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. It will be even more hurtful if she finds out. From childhood to adulthood, I have taught you to be honest and not to lie."

"Then just tell my sister-in-law directly." Zhu Heping said.

"No." Mrs. Zhu refused immediately. Her scalp numbed as her four grandchildren stared at her. "Think about it again, think about it again. There must be a way to have the best of both worlds."

The four of them looked at each other and laughed secretly. It was rare to see the usually calm grandma panicking.

In the study.

The grandfather and grandson sat facing each other across a table.

Father Zhu said, "You have always been calm and composed, and you have a strong ability to distinguish right from wrong. Your family has never had to worry about you since you were a child. Do you have any unspeakable reasons for doing this this time?"

Zhu Weidong was silent for a while and shook his head.

"I don't want to get involved in your affairs, but your parents are not around. Now that you are doing this, I have to ask one more question. I am responsible for you and Xiaoling."

"I want to go back and explain it to Xiaoling in person after this is over. She will understand." Zhu Weidong expressed his thoughts.

"I don't agree with you doing this. After marriage, couples should discuss anything before doing it. It's wrong for you to act first and then ask for permission." Father Zhu tapped the table and said, "Let's put this aside for now. Let's talk about your female classmate first. She doesn't agree with you staying to take care of her, right?"

Zhu Weidong nodded, "Chi Fangping advised me to return to the southwest."

"Then why are you staying?" Zhu's father raised his eyes, "Your classmate is in a bad mood now. What she needs is some quiet time. If you didn't have a family, it would make sense for you to stay. But now that you have a family and stay, you are putting pressure on her. You are not helping her, but making it more difficult for her."

"I have already refunded my ticket, and sent a telegram to the guesthouse where Xiaoling is staying, telling her that I will be spending the New Year at home."

With a snap.

Father Zhu slammed his hand on the table, his eyes wide open, "You"

Facing his grandson's sincere and clear eyes, Zhu's father endured and suppressed his voice, "The ticket is easy to solve. I will ask someone to buy it now. It's okay to send a telegram. Send another one to Xiaoling and say that you made a typo."

Zhu Weidong: "Okay."

Father Zhu regretted that he shouldn't have taken his wife's words yesterday lightly.

After kicking his eldest grandson out of the study, Zhu's father immediately notified his son. Zhu Chuang was able to remain calm after hearing this, but Kong Siya was the first one who couldn't sit still. She asked her husband to buy tickets that day, and the two of them rushed home.

Zhu Weidong did not have breakfast. He was forced by the four brothers of the Zhu family who received orders from their father to send a new telegram. After sending the telegram, Zhu Weidong did not go home directly.

"I'll go talk to Chi Fangping. You guys go back first."

"I have nothing to do, so I'll go with you." Zhu Weiming walked forward first, then turned back to urge a few people, "Hurry up, you bought tickets for the evening train, and you have to go home soon."

So, the five brothers went to the Chi family again.

Chi Fangping was lying on the bed with a pale face. When he saw Zhu Weidong coming with his four brothers, he sat up with his hands on the bed.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Weidong, please help me. I'm fine here. Please go back to the southwest. I can let my daughter go. The living are the most important. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine in a few days. Xiaoling is pregnant and needs someone to take care of her."

Zhu Weiyue said, "Sister Fang Ping should persuade my eldest brother. Although he looks like he is aloof from others, he is actually the softest-hearted one. Wasn't it because he saw that my sister-in-law's family was in trouble that he married her out of softness? This soft-heartedness of marrying one woman at a time will not lead to any major problems."
