Faced with his daughter's questioning, Zhang Weiren was also a little unhappy:
"What are you doing? What's your attitude? I'm your father, stay out of my business."
Zhang Nailin could never have imagined that her father would say such words. She could not believe that these words came out of his mouth. She widened her eyes, tears welled up in her eyes, and her heart was filled with grievance and anger.
Since she was a child, she has always been her father's pride. Whether in study or life, she strives to do her best, hoping to get her father's recognition and praise.
After her mother passed away, she took on the responsibility of taking care of her father alone. She bought all the clothes for Zhang Weiren, from head to toe.
As soon as Zhang Weiren said this, Zhang Shijie couldn't stand it anymore:
"Dad, what's the point? Isn't what my sister said right? You're nice to her now, but have they got married to you? Won't you need us to take care of you when you're old? It's because you're stupid and rich, otherwise, look at what others want from you."
Zhang Weiren opened his mouth and took two deep breaths. He wanted to say something but couldn't. He subconsciously knew that what his son said was true, but he didn't want to admit it.
He is almost 70 years old and has finally found someone he likes, and he wants to hold on to her.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, everyone felt bored. There was a table full of delicious dishes, but no one was interested in eating. Everyone ate in silence without any communication throughout the meal.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, as if shrouded by an invisible layer of oppression. Everyone's face had a hint of sadness and helplessness, and the whole scene looked very desolate.
After dinner, everyone dispersed quickly, no one wanted to stay any longer.
Zhang Weiren hid back in his bedroom alone and ignored everyone.
Zhang Nailin followed her husband to her in-laws' home. Zhang Shijie was the most rational. He secretly took his father's salary card and ID card to the bank and checked the salary card transactions.
You don't know until you check. Once you check, you'll be shocked. In the past six months, his father has spent more than 20,000 yuan on Pei Yufang. This is based on the visible bank statements. There is no cash available. Who knows how much there is?
Zhang Shijie was furious. Wasn't his father the one who had been taken advantage of? At such an old age, how could he still be so distracted?
After returning from the bank, Zhang Shijie didn't say anything, but he didn't return his father's salary card.
Zhang Weiren's pension is now about 10,000 yuan per month. Apart from the nanny fee of 2,500 yuan, all other water, electricity and heating expenses are at most 3,000 yuan.
There would be a surplus of at least 50,000 yuan every year, but now there is only more than 80,000 yuan in Zhang Weiren's card, and the rest of the money is nowhere to be found. This makes Zhang Shijie doubt where the money went.
Pei Yufang returned the next day, and Zhang Shijie blocked her at the door as soon as she arrived:
"Aunt Pei, I don't care about what happens between you and my dad, but if you dare to cheat him of his money, don't blame me for being rude."
Pei Yufang had been mentally prepared for this. She smiled and said seriously:
"Shijie, your father and I truly love each other. It's not easy for us to get to this point today! I've never taken the initiative to ask him for a penny."
Zhang Shijie snorted coldly and said bluntly:
"Yes, you never asked for it. My dad gave it to you himself. But didn't you accept it? Let's not talk about the past. If it happens again, I will call the police and let everyone see how you, the so-called people's teacher, can deceive people."
Pei Yufang felt hurt and went to Zhang Weiren crying to make a decision.
Zhang Weiren coaxed her for a long time and finally gave her another 2,000 yuan to end the matter.
Pei Yufang took the money and was about to put it in her pocket when Zhang Shijie snatched it away. Veins popped out on his forehead and his eyes became sinister.
"Get out of here!"
Pei Yufang saw that Zhang Shijie was really angry, so she ran out crying.
"Dad, I'm telling you, your salary card has been confiscated by me. From now on, I will transfer your living expenses to your aunt on time. If you dare to spend money on this woman again, don't blame me and my sister for being unfilial to you."
No matter how stupid Zhang Weiren was, he knew that he couldn't lose touch with his children. He didn't say anything else, which was considered as his tacit agreement to this matter.
After Zhang Nailin and Zhang Shijie left, Zhang Weiren quickly called Pei Yufang back. No one knew how she coaxed them, but not long after, the two reconciled.
During the National Day holiday, Zhang Weiren’s classmates from his hometown came to visit him one after another. These people were his old classmates and they had studied in technical secondary school together.
Today, they have achieved considerable success in their respective fields and have all retired, so they decided to travel together and enjoy some leisure time.
Zhang Weiren was very happy to see his old classmates from decades ago. He took his classmates to the restaurant. This time, Pei Yufang tactfully did not go with them.
One of the female classmates asked jokingly:
"Weiren, your perspective is becoming more down-to-earth, isn't it? Is this woman your mistress?"
Zhang Weiren was startled and immediately growled:
"Shut up right now! You think this isn't lively enough? What mistress? I'm your legitimate girlfriend."
One of the male students also asked seriously:
"Really? Weiren, this guy can't compare to the previous waiter? What do you think?"
"Hey, what do you know? Yufang has worked hard all her life, so she dresses simply, but she's actually a good person at heart."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that Zhang Weiren felt good about himself, the classmates didn't say anything more.
However, not long after, news came from his hometown that Zhang Weiren liked the nanny, and some people also said that he was not picky about food and did not care about meat or vegetables.
Anyway, all kinds of rumors were flying around, and Zhang Weishuang even called to ask:
"Sister, is Weiren really interested in a nanny?"
"No, that's all nonsense. It's just that the woman was dressed more simply."
Zhang Weishuang took a deep breath on the phone:
"That's good. I'm so scared. My neighbors come to ask me about it every day. And when Gou Xiao is at work, someone still asks him about it?"
"Ah? The news spreads so fast?" Zhang Weifang didn't expect that such outrageous news would come out of his hometown.
She didn't dare tell Zhang Weiren about this for fear that he would be angry.
In fact, Zhang Weiren had received the news a long time ago, but he didn't care. As long as Pei Yufang was willing to accompany him, nothing else mattered.
Pei Yufang was a very smart person. When she saw that Zhang Weiren had no money, she ran faster than anyone else. She didn't even go back to her own home, but chose to go directly to her son's home in another city.
It just so happened that his son was about to get married, so she needed help decorating the house for his son.
