Chapter 196
The hard-seat carriage was packed, with Jiang Qiumei and Zheng Xiaomin occupying a two-person seat. Weisheng walked through several carriages before finally finding the person he had seen by following the ticket information he had seen earlier.
Zheng Xiaomin, who was sitting on the outside, was eating, while Jiang Qiumei, who was sitting by the window, was staring out the window with no appetite at all.
Weisheng squeezed over and stood still. Before he could say anything, Zheng Xiaomin subconsciously looked up at him. Seeing Zheng Xiaomin looking at him, Weisheng smiled and said, "My grandma asked me to bring something to Auntie."
After saying that, he placed the package of snacks on the small table.
Jiang Qiumei came back to her senses from her memories. Looking at the high-spirited and elegant Weisheng, she felt that he looked familiar and yet strange at the same time.
After collecting her thoughts, Jiang Qiumei said a few more polite words, asked which carriage they were in, and then accepted the package of snacks.
Weisheng turned and left. Jiang Qiumei stared at Weisheng's back for a while before looking away.
"Have you noticed that this girl's eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Yunxi's."
Because she had just been reminiscing, Jiang Qiumei's memory of her little daughter was not only the quick encounter in the ward that year, but also what her little daughter looked like before she went to the countryside.
"There are so many people like her." Zheng Xiaomin opened the package of snacks Weisheng had brought her and picked out a piece before putting it in her mouth. Upon hearing Jiang Qiumei's words, she immediately retorted, "She's only in her early twenties, with delicate skin and tender flesh. You can tell she hasn't experienced any hardship."
Just one sentence reminded Jiang Qiumei of the last time she saw her youngest daughter.
In Jiang Qiumei's opinion, her little daughter, who was so thin and looked very bad, was already miserable. But she had no idea that it was a body that Weisheng had carefully taken care of for three months.
When Weisheng first arrived, Zhong Yunxi had been beaten to a pulp, emaciated and stillborn, unable to move. Weisheng gritted his teeth and forced himself back into the space. As he examined himself, the pain was so intense that his vision went black.
He had to clean up the dead fetus with such a broken and tattered body... It took a strong willpower to prevent Weisheng from fainting from the pain.
It took a full month of convalescence in the space for the external injuries on his body to heal, but it took several years for his body to fully recover to its best condition.
Weisheng couldn't imagine how Zhong Yunxi survived in that life, and how he was beaten to death by that beast Jin Jianshe.
…
When Weisheng passed through the dining car and returned to the soft sleeper car, he ordered two stir-fried dishes in the dining car, and then went to the car to pick up the old lady for dinner.
It was a bit early for dinner, but there weren't many diners in the dining car, so they could eat slowly.
The grandfather and grandson talked while eating. When the old lady saw Jiang Qiumei, she thought of the old days when she first learned about her son's sacrifice.
It's not easy~
Weisheng said nothing, eating his own food while picking up some food for the old lady. When the old lady had almost finished eating, Weisheng asked her what she thought of Jiang Qiumei's daughter.
The old lady pursed her lips, her face full of disdain, "...not so good."
Even though his own mother was crying like that, he ignored her and didn't even try to pretend to be nice in front of others. Who knows what he would be like at home.
Thinking of Weisheng's family affairs, the old lady couldn't help but sigh again: "As the old saying goes, 'Partial favoritism is useless', 'A good son ruins the family, a bad son fosters the father'. If parents can't treat their children equally, they will not only harm their children, but also themselves."
Weisheng: ...You are right.
Seeing Zheng Xiaomin like that today, Weisheng knew that there was a problem in the mother-daughter relationship between her and Jiang Qiumei.
Even though they haven't seen each other for many years, and even though Jiang Qiumei can arouse sympathy at this moment, Weisheng still won't forgive these family members for Zhong Yunxi who was beaten to death.
After having dinner early, Weisheng and the old lady returned to the small private room.
Weisheng used the radio and tapes he brought to play storytelling for the old lady. The old lady sat on a lower bunk, listening to the storytelling while playing playing cards.
Weisheng was sitting on the lower bunk opposite, flipping through a legal book, occasionally picking up a pen to make a few notes on the pages.
The door of the small private room was not closed, but not many people passed by them. However, around five or six o'clock, Jiang Qiumei came over with a package of things to return the gift.
It was a specialty of Hua City that she brought specially for Zheng Haitao.
Seeing the package of Hua City specialties, Weisheng concealed the sarcasm in his eyes and continued to sit there reading, but his mind was almost entirely on Jiang Qiumei who was talking to the old lady.
Weisheng remembered that when the original owner went to the countryside, Jiang Qiumei and Zhong Shanghai's parents didn't prepare anything for her. Jiang Qiumei even asked the original owner privately, "Did your father give you money? What did your father prepare for you?"
Even if the original owner said no, Jiang Qiumei just scolded the man in front of her little daughter, and still did not prepare anything for her little daughter after that.
The couple each felt that their daughter was the other's biological child, and they always felt that the other should give more. Then, when it was their turn, they competed in giving, fearing that they would be at a disadvantage.
Even though Weisheng has studied psychology for many years, this is the first time he has encountered such a case.
.
Seeing that the old lady was willing to listen, Jiang Qiumei told her all about her family affairs.
Of course, she would not tell everyone about her youngest daughter, but under the old lady's gentle attitude, she talked about the sadness of having no children to rely on.
She talked about how her first husband died young, leaving them alone and widowed, and how difficult life was. She talked about how after marrying her second husband, he was always wary of her, and how her eldest stepdaughter always found fault with him. Now, her stepson and his wife wanted to kick her out of the house...
However, the most interesting thing was that when the old lady heard that she had a younger daughter, she asked about her younger daughter's situation. Unexpectedly, she said with a shy face that she stayed in the countryside when she was sent to the countryside to work.
It was as if her little daughter was really living a good life in the countryside.
Weisheng: Ha!
Jiang Qiumei talked for several hours, and only left after the conductor came to clear everyone out, feeling unsatisfied.
The old lady came back from the bathroom and was about to tell Weisheng about the family gossip she had just heard, but she suddenly stopped.
Why are the things that Miss Jiang said so similar to what her girl said about her family background?
"Xiao Xi, are you, uh, her, right?"
The old lady's husband's surname was Zhu, and her granddaughter was called Zhu Xi. For many years, the old lady had always called Weisheng Xiaoxi.
Seeing that the old lady wanted to ask but was afraid of making herself sad, Wei Sheng, who was being treated by Xiao Xi, could not help but smile warmly, "You are right, it is them."
Upon hearing this, the old lady's aura changed, her face turned stern, and she was about to rush out.
Weisheng quickly stopped them upon seeing this. "Since they didn't recognize me, it shows that the bond between us is completely broken. Since it's broken, let's just treat us as strangers."
Seeing that the old lady was still angry, Weisheng tried to persuade her: "Her life is a mess now. If she knew, she would definitely come after us. We women have such a good life, why would we bring bad luck to ourselves?"
After much persuasion, the old lady temporarily gave up the idea of looking for Jiang Qiumei to vent her anger. After that, seeing that the old lady was so angry that she couldn't sleep, Weisheng took out the incense burner with calming incense.
For a while, the old lady fell into a deep sleep. Weisheng went around in the space again, washed and took care of her skin, and then came out to rest.
The next day, Jiang Qiumei came to talk to the old lady again, but Weisheng didn't want to cause any trouble and let the old lady sleep all the way. Seeing that the old lady was still sleeping, Jiang Qiumei had to go back first.
In the evening, the train stopped at Beijing Railway Station. Weisheng deliberately did not wake up the old lady. After the train started, Weisheng woke the old lady up, and then the two got off the train at Beijing North Station.
After returning home, the old lady was still a little upset, but considering that she was angry, she had to let her granddaughter, who was already sad, comfort her, so the old lady comforted herself.
Humph, such a good child is hard to find even with a lantern. You don’t want him, but the old woman does.
After returning to the capital, Weisheng packed up and went to class. The old lady stayed home most of the time, occasionally hanging out with new neighbors. Life had returned to the rhythm of their previous life in Kashiwa.
However, because the yard Weisheng bought was very close to Jinghua University, Weisheng and the old lady would go for a walk at Jinghua University after dinner every day.
Life is stable and leisurely.
What Weisheng didn't expect was that the old lady openly gave up the idea of not looking for Jiang Qiumei, but she still found the Beijing Military General Hospital while Weisheng was in class. According to some information she learned from Jiang Qiumei and Weisheng, she successfully found Zheng Haitao's ward.
I gave her two canned fruits and asked for Jiang Qiumei's contact information.
From then on, the old lady would call Jiang Qiumei every other day.
First, he showed some concern for Jiang Qiumei, and then he praised her precious granddaughter for being so good, filial, and outstanding. Finally, he envied Jiang Qiumei for having so many children, both sons and daughters.
Jiang Qiumei: No matter how many children I have, none of them will be as successful as your granddaughter.
Not only is he a college student, but also a graduate student at Jinghua University.
By the way, your granddaughter can also repair this and that. Not only can she study, but she is also very good at making money...
A month or two later, the telephone bill at home suddenly increased so much that Weisheng had to investigate the reason. He found out that the old lady actually called Jiang Qiumei every week.
After secretly recording it with a recorder, Weisheng was actually in a better mood because of the old lady's mean-spirited look.
…
Back in September, after seeing her injured son at the General Hospital, Jiang Qiumei cried and persuaded Zheng Haitao to change his career with heartache.
He is already quite old and hasn't even earned an army rank. Now he has suffered such a serious injury. It would be better for him to retire, go home, find a decent job, get married and live a good life.
Zheng Haitao had not made any achievements in the army for so many years. Because of the quarrel between Jiang Qiumei and Zheng Xiaomin in the spring, he always felt that his comrades looked at him strangely. Now, after hearing what Jiang Qiuyi said, he really thought about changing his career.
It was an unexpected success. If he had retired a few years later, Zheng Haitao might have encountered a massive military downsizing of one million soldiers, and it would have been difficult to assign him a job by then.
After temporarily transferring to Hua City, he was assigned a formal job. Although he had not yet been allocated a house, Zheng Haitao had gained some popularity in the marriage market.
Afterwards, even though Zhong Ming and his wife, Zhong Yunfei and Zhong Hao were not happy about it, Zheng Haitao, who had not yet received his own house, still moved his new house into the Zhong family courtyard.
However, worried that her daughter and son-in-law would suffer, Zhong Ming's mother-in-law moved out of that room but did not move back home. Instead, she moved into Jiang Qiumei's room.
The reason for staying is still to take care of the health of my daughter and son-in-law.
With such a large family, even biological children living together would have quarrels, not to mention this mixed combination of stepmother, stepson, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, and new daughter-in-law who have long had grudges against each other.
The old lady would call Jiang Qiuyan every week while Weisheng was at school to tell her what her granddaughter had bought her and what delicious food she had cooked for her. After her son got married, Jiang Qiumei not only got used to the old lady's show-off every Monday, but she would also call her every week to talk about her miserable old age.
On one side, there is overflowing positive energy, and on the other side, there is overflowing negative energy. Jiang Qiumei's mental state is getting worse and worse, but the old lady is not affected at all and has found psychological balance from it.
You deserve it! I told you to be biased!

Time flies and it is already the second year of Weisheng's doctoral studies. In the past few years, Weisheng has taken on many cases and has also made a name for himself in the legal community.
Weisheng's original intention in entering this line of work was to handle divorce cases specifically for vulnerable groups, but many divorce cases are accompanied by economic problems, so Weisheng also takes on some economic cases, but most of the time Weisheng takes on divorce cases.
In order to protect the parties from being harmed during the divorce process, Weisheng also opened a "security company". The employees in the company all had criminal records in the past.
Because some evidence requires legality, Weisheng will also hand over the evidence he has collected to the security company and ask them to surrender to the police station under various pretexts.
Like burglary, illegal filming and so on.
Then some audio and video evidence was turned from illegal to legal.
Sometimes, a divorce doesn't necessarily require litigation. Having the security company "talk" to the other party can instantly turn those who only dare to beat their wives and children into reasonable people and obediently go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce.
However, Weisheng recently received a call from an old classmate, hoping that she could go to Hua City to file for a divorce.
Coincidentally, Weisheng not only knew the plaintiff and defendant in the divorce lawsuit, but also knew the other party's defense lawyer.
A joke made many years ago turned out to be a prophecy.
