Several months passed, and one night he lay alone in bed feeling a little regretful. If Guan Lian hadn't left, the family wouldn't have ended up like this, and he would have had food to eat every day when he came home.
But now he not only has to cook, but also has no one to mend his torn clothes. Before, he would only spend one person's salary each month, and save the rest for the other person. Even so, the family still had meat to eat from time to time, and they lived a good life.
But now he has spent all his salary, and he and his mother are still struggling to make ends meet.
I should have never divorced her.
My mother spends her days at home making veiled accusations. Now she can only play cards for a few hours each day; the rest of the time she has to go to the market to buy groceries and then go home to cook.
She thought life would continue like this, but then her eldest son disappeared. Needless to say, he must have gone to her place.
The mother was furious and went to her parents-in-law's house to have a big argument with them. Her parents-in-law said they didn't know where their daughter was and refused to tell him the address. In the end, he and his mother could only slink home.
The eldest son is missing, but their lives continue as before. The mother plays cards and cooks at home every day, while he goes to work, comes home, drinks, and stares blankly.
Life was incredibly boring. The call was from his youngest son. He didn't know how long he had saved up to make the call back.
On the phone, he immediately called him "Dad," then told him their approximate location and that his mother's factory made clothes.
"Dad, can you come here?"
Chen Wei asked Guan Lian if she had been with other men. When his son said no, he breathed a sigh of relief and felt very gratified that his youngest son still cared about him.
The younger son is different from the older son. The older son only sides with his mother and never considers his own father. Fortunately, the younger son thinks of him.
The call ended quickly. The address his son left behind was only a rough pronunciation. He spent several days making inquiries and finally managed to get through to the city where they were located. As for the garment factories, he could simply ask them one by one.
However, there was only one textile factory in the city. Although it was not in the city center, Chen Wei carried his luggage and came looking for it after getting off the train.
Because Chen Junliang wasn't coming over, Chen Wei's expression turned sour. At the same time, he was very anxious and afraid of being pulled away by the man in military uniform. The way the man stared at him made his legs go weak, as if he were some kind of spy.
Now that it's snowing and dark, his whereabouts are a real problem.
Song Qing frowned. Sister Guan definitely wouldn't want him to stay at her house. It would be troublesome to go to the city's guesthouse at this time, and he couldn't just go into the military region's guesthouse since he hadn't investigated her background.
Chen Wei had this in mind. It was so late, were they really going to let him freeze to death in the snow? Once inside, he would plead with Guan Lian to forgive him this time, considering their many years of marriage. He promised to treat her well from now on.
Chen Junliang clenched his fists and finally walked over.
“Junliang, you can’t blame me for what happened before. Dad didn’t do it on purpose. I’m your own father. You ran here all by yourself without telling us. You don’t know how worried your grandma and I were at home!”
Seeing his son approaching, Chen Wei breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the package from the ground and tried to shove it into his son's hands, talking to himself as he did so.
"How do you know this?"
Chen Junliang interrupted him directly, completely ignoring the feigned father-son affection on his face.
"You haven't seen me for so long and haven't even asked me about you. Of course Dad knows you're here. Home is wherever you are..."
"I'm asking you who told you that!"
The 16-year-old boy was already about the same height as Chen Wei. Although he was thin, his aura was no less imposing. He stared at Chen Wei fiercely, like a little leopard protecting its mother.
"say!"
Everyone understood that Guan Lian hadn't given him an address; he had come looking for it all by himself.
Song Qing and Lu Yang had the same expression. They walked to Chen Junliang's side and kept looking Chen Wei up and down. He felt a little flustered.
"I……"
He hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything.
"You'd better go back by yourself tomorrow. The people here have nothing to do with you."
Chen Wei got anxious, "What are you saying, child? What do you mean it has nothing to do with me? I'm your biological father, I'll be wherever you and your mother are!"
"Do I need to remind you? My mom divorced you a long time ago."
He choked up, "So what? I'm still your father!"
"So what do you want? I don't want to see you. My mother has nothing to do with you!"
“You you you!”
Chen Junliang didn't want his appearance to disturb the life his mother had worked so hard to achieve, so at his signal, the security personnel didn't go up to call for help, but instead looked at Chen Wei suspiciously.
Song Qing grabbed Chen Junliang's hand. "Comrade, it's snowing outside, and the guesthouses in the city are far away. Where will you stay tonight?"
"I……"
He certainly wanted to go to their house, but Chen Junliang had just told him to go back in front of everyone, and they were already divorced, so he couldn't be so shameless as to directly say that he wanted to stay at Guan Lian's dormitory.
I just hope they can't find a place for him, and in the end they have to call Guan Lian down.
"There's a village nearby where you can stay overnight. Since the bus service is suspended due to snow, I'll have someone take you to the city tomorrow so you can take the train back."
