"You showed up in a strange place for no reason. You didn't worry about your family members getting anxious. Instead, you started a relationship outside and slept with them before they got married. Zhu Weidong, you are really amazing." Zhu Yaowu opened his mouth and stabbed people. "You are not a good woman at first glance."
"It was an accident. The house on the mountain was very cold that night and we were all drunk. When I woke up, it had already happened." Zhu Weidong suppressed his anger. "And if you have any complaints about me, you can come to me. I know I did something wrong because I lost my memory. It was wrong and I let my family down. But Ye Hong saved me. She was drunk at the time. Don't needle her."
Zhu Yaowu cursed, "Zhu Weidong, stop trying to reason with me, don't make yourselves sound so innocent. You are confused about who you are, but your family members are not. You still play with women when you are drunk, why didn't I see you have this problem before? It's obviously that woman who is calculating."
"Zhu Yaowu."
Zhu Yaowu said angrily, "Okay, okay, she is a good person, we are all bad people. Now you have a new one, don't care about the old one crying, just be your Chen Shimei and don't regret it in the future."
After saying that, Zhu Yaowu walked out, opened the door and turned back to ask, "What are you doing upstairs spying on my sister-in-law? Don't think bad of others just because you are not upright yourself. Rong Junjie is right. After the divorce, there are a lot of people waiting to marry her."
After saying this, Zhu Yaowu felt relieved and left.
Zhu Weidong stood alone in the study, his face livid.
He didn't know why he eavesdropped just now, it was just like his body was doing it instinctively.
He also felt uncomfortable when he saw other men trying to make his wife happy.
For a long time, he felt that it must be the man's possessiveness that made him have such abnormal behavior and thoughts.
Downstairs, there are many people at home and the table is already full of dishes.
Kong Siya held Ji Ling's hand, thousands of words turned into a deep look, and then she patted her hand.
Ji Ling smiled and said, "Mom, have you prepared the red envelope? I'm waiting."
Kong Siya smiled, "I prepared it, and it's a big bag."
Zhu Weiyue also went to call people to come for dinner. After everyone was seated, Zhu Weidong came in with Cao Yehong. After the two of them came in, Mr. Zhu's face immediately turned cold.
"Grandpa, Happy New Year." Zhu Heping smiled and stood up to raise his glass. "Grandpa, you said back then that as long as you were not married, you would get red envelopes every year."
"You little brat, you haven't married yet, so you don't have a red envelope." Mr. Zhu laughed, and a smile appeared on his face. "Well, it's the New Year, a new year, a new atmosphere. In the new year, everyone will be fine."
If his grandson doesn't live up to his expectations, he still has other grandsons. Grandpa Zhu also advises himself and doesn't like to ignore him directly.
Then during the following meal, the atmosphere was very good and everyone was talking and laughing. Only Zhu Weidong and Cao Yehong seemed out of place.
Cao Yehong kept her head down from beginning to end and never took any food on her own initiative. She ate whatever Zhu Weidong picked for her.
At first, Kong Siya frowned and looked at her son, trying to signal him to pay attention with her eyes. But when she found that her son was still confused, she simply stopped looking there.
Halfway through the meal, Cao Yehong suddenly started to dry heave, covered her mouth, stood up and ran to the bathroom.
Zhu Weidong also immediately stood up and followed him out.
The joyful atmosphere was interrupted just like that.
"Eat, let's eat. It's New Year, so let's be happy." Old Mrs. Zhu called out, and she peeled a shrimp for Niuniu, "Niuniu, eat more. Tell grandma what else you want to eat."
The atmosphere, which had just been relaxed, became tense again because of Niu Niu's childish words.
Old Mrs. Zhu didn't know how to answer for a moment. Thinking about how Niu Niu had encountered such a thing at such a young age, she hugged the little girl in her arms with heartache.
Mrs. Zhu's eyes were red. "My poor Niuniu."
"Grandma." It was difficult for others to persuade her, so Ji Ling was the most appropriate person to step forward and said, "Niuniu is so pitiful, you guys love her. Besides, her father is back and well, which is a good thing."
"What good thing is this? It would be a good thing if he came back on his own." Mrs. Zhu felt heartbroken just thinking about how he brought back such a thing.
"Xiaoling is right. Niuniu is not pitiful. We are taking care of her." Mr. Zhu advised his wife, "It's New Year's Day, don't let the children worry."
The old man turned to his great-granddaughter and said, "That aunt doesn't like our food, so why don't we just not invite her to eat?"
Niuniu nodded vigorously, "Okay."
Outside the door, Zhu Weidong had just sent Cao Yehong back to the guest room. When he came back, he heard his grandfather's words. He stood outside and did not rush in.
He wanted to explain that Cao Yehong didn't do it on purpose, but when he thought about how he had helped Cao Yehong explain and his brother was so exposed, he gave up the idea.
Zhu Weidong walked in calmly after the topic was no longer mentioned in the restaurant.
No one greeted him, no one talked to him, he sat down quietly and ate.
After the meal, according to the Zhu family tradition, the men cleaned the table and Zhu Weidong was sent away by Zhu Chuang.
"You are not needed here, go and rest."
Zhu Weidong did not leave this time. "Dad, I understand that you are angry. I accept whatever you say to me. Don't get yourself angry. I am also a member of this family. There are still many things I don't understand after the accident. You can't always exclude me just because I was wrong."
Mr. Zhu snorted and walked away with his back turned.
Zhu Yaowu and the others cleaned up quietly without saying a word.
Zhu Chuang looked at him calmly, "Weidong, haven't you and Xiaoling already made your choice? Is it necessary to talk about that now?"
"Dad, I mean that when the three of us sat down and talked, she made the decision directly. I didn't let her choose. I said I would be responsible for Ye Hong, but I didn't say I had to marry her. If..."
"If what? If Xiaoling doesn't agree to divorce, will Yehong give birth to the child and Xiaoling raise it? Or will she give birth to the child and you take care of both families?" Zhu Chuang slammed the rag in his hand onto the table. "You said you are responsible for Yehong, so what choice should Xiaoling make? You decide."
Zhu Weidong was stumped by the question.
He felt wronged, he didn't know he had a family, and what happened with Ye Hong was an accident, what should he do? Ye Hong was still an unmarried girl, and now she came back with him, and her work unit also knew about the two of them.
Zhu Chuang waved his hand, "Get out, make your own decision, then don't regret it. That Cao Yehong has her own family, right? Isn't she going home for the New Year? Aren't her family worried? Bring her back today, her family won't say anything, let her go home tomorrow. When you really choose to live with her, it won't be too late to bring her back to see us."
