"Come in first." Old Mrs. Cao glanced at Zhu Weidong coldly, turned around and went in first.
"Weidong, you go back first. My grandma will just say a few words to me and I'll be fine."
Zhu Weidong was about to hand something over, but when he heard her words, he paused, "Let me go in with you."
He also knew that it was too much to send the person back today without bringing anything.
There are so many people watching in the yard.
"No need, I can do it myself." Cao Yehong went to get the bag.
Zhu Weidong took her arm in return and said, "Let's go."
Only then did Cao Yehong give up and took Zhu Weidong home.
The Cao family was not well off. Cao Yehong's job was given to her because her parents passed away early and the company felt sorry for her. She also worked hard and went to university, so she was specially recruited.
She had only been working for over a year, and after deducting her living expenses from her salary, she sent the rest back home. Old Mrs. Cao was in poor health, and all the money she received was used for medical treatment, so the family's life still did not improve.
There are only two rooms in the house, the outer room is the kitchen and the inner room has a double bed.
After people went in, there was only standing room, it was a bit crowded to turn around, and half of the floor was covered with garbage.
"Grandma, didn't I tell you not to pick up trash anymore? I can earn money to support you. You are so old, if something happens to you outside, what should I do?"
"It's okay. I'm an old man. If I really die, I won't be a burden to you." Mrs. Cao sat down beside the bed. She looked at Zhu Weidong and asked her granddaughter, "Is this your partner?"
Cao Ye blushed.
She didn't say anything, and Zhu Weidong didn't know how to respond.
Old Madam Cao snorted coldly, "Then we are not a good match? I think so too. I sent you back on the first day of the Chinese New Year. People who know it is a gift, but those who don't know would think it is a rush. What did I tell you on the phone? Girls, don't be too proactive, otherwise the man won't value you. Although our family conditions are poor, you have a good job. When I am gone, I will not be a burden to you. Your good days are still ahead."
"Grandma, Weidong is not that kind of person. Something happened at home." Cao Yehong looked at Zhu Weidong pleadingly, "Weidong, go back first. I will explain this to you, grandma."
"Grandma, something went wrong. I'll go and deal with it first and then come back to tell you in detail." Zhu Weidong nodded, put down his bag, and walked away.
He moved quickly, as if he was escaping.
When Cao Yehong saw this, she couldn't help feeling jealous.
"That's enough. They've left. They won't come back no matter how hard you try." Without outsiders around, Mrs. Cao's tone became much better. "Silly girl, you didn't take to heart what grandma said to you before."
Cao Yehong retracted her gaze, threw herself into her grandmother's arms with red eyes, and told her everything that had happened from yesterday to now.
Mrs. Cao was speechless. "From what you said, their family is well off."
"There is a prominent figure in the capital." When Cao Yehong came out of the mountains, he heard someone looking for Zhu Weidong and also learned about Zhu Weidong's situation.
So after she rescued the person and saw that he had lost his memory, she made such a plan.
But she didn't dare tell anyone about this, not even her grandmother.
So she had already prepared herself mentally for what would happen when she went to Zhu's house.
It's just that she was too confident. She didn't expect that Zhu Weidong had lost his memory. Deep down, he cared about his wife and that couldn't be faked.
"Silly child, he has a family, and now you are pregnant with his child, what are you going to do?" Old Mrs. Cao turned her face away from Zhu Weidong, but she was reluctant to say anything to her granddaughter, "You are not pregnant yet, why don't you go to the hospital?"
"Grandma, no."
Cao Yehong straightened up, "His wife will definitely divorce him."
She could ignore Zhu Weidong's hesitation at first, but as for the attitude of Zhu Weidong's lover, she was also a woman, and such a proud woman, how could she tolerate her man being with another woman.
Mrs. Cao was silent for a moment, then she held up her granddaughter's face with a serious expression, "Xiaohong, life is not a temporary thing, it is a lifetime thing. Only you know the bitterness and sweetness in your heart, and only you have to bear it. Have you really decided to choose this path?"
The old lady has lived to this age, there is nothing she doesn't understand.
Cao Ye's red eyelids fell, "Grandma, I like him."
Cao Yehong had never had such an outstanding man around her. Even if she started working later, no one in the unit could compare with Zhu Weidong.
Neither his appearance nor his family background can be compared to anyone else.
After hearing what her granddaughter said, Mrs. Cao slowly loosened her grip and said, "Just know the consequences."
No more words were said.
Zhu Weidong had already gotten into the car.
There were only two brothers. Zhu Weiming asked, "Brother, where are you going?"
"Let's go to a place closer to home." Zhu Weidong looked out the window.
Zhu Weiming said, "Oh," and then said, "I thought you were going to stay at the Cao family."
Zhu Weidong didn't respond.
He could tell his brother was mocking him.
He didn't care about that.
He didn't understand what was going on, he just felt empty inside.
After Zhu Weiming sent him to his residence, he said, "Brother, you go by yourself. I won't go down. If you have any questions, just call home."
Zhu Weidong sat in the car and didn't rush to get out. He was organizing his words, "Lao Wu, please take care of your sister-in-law."
Thinking of his wife's growing belly and his daughter who was a few years old, Zhu Weidong wanted to say something but couldn't open his mouth.
He said that he wanted to be responsible for Ye Hong, and his wife agreed with him and did not want to make things difficult for him. If he went there again, he would be disturbing her life.
Zhu Weiming smiled, "Don't worry about that. You two are getting divorced anyway. Even though my sister-in-law is pregnant, there are many people who like her. Rong Junjie is one of them. You can see that he is a very good person and a leader in my sister-in-law's unit."
Zhu Weidong: Zhu Weidong felt depressed until he got off the bus. Looking at the bus going away, Zhu Weidong felt like an orphan who was abandoned.
He smiled bitterly. As far as he could remember, he had never been treated so coldly at home.
On the other hand, after Ji Ling moved back to her previous residence, she was busy cleaning the house. Zhu Yaowu and others wanted to help, but she didn't stop them. If she really didn't let them do anything, they would feel even more uncomfortable.
Zhu Weiyue also brought a lot of food from the compound and placed it in the kitchen.
Ji Ling saw that it was getting late and there were New Year's greetings to be paid at home, so she urged them to go back, saying that she was worried about their elders. Only then did the three of them go back.
After seeing off a few people, Ji Ling finally found time to call her hometown.
