Chapter 1840: Eavesdropped

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wei Wei, who was already in high school, didn’t need to be taught to understand. After all, there were so many students in school. Wei Wei had often heard topics such as ‘how much money my dad earns’ and ‘what kind of official my dad is’ being discussed. Wei Wei realized that as long as he mentioned his aunt, all the students would shut up. Thus, he understood that Zhai Hua was a capable woman.

It was just that time couldn’t be turned back. He was willing to let bygones be bygones, but his aunt disagreed. “I have tried, but my aunt doesn’t like me. I apologized to her, but she didn’t accept it.” Didn’t he pinch Jiajia when he was young and insensible? How many years ago was that? But his aunt still remembered it until today. No wonder his grandma didn’t like his aunt and despised her.

“I’ve said it before. It depends on how capable you are for your aunt to reaccept you and treat you as her son again. If you make it, you’ll lead a happier and easier life than me in the future. If you don’t, I’m afraid you won’t be able to escape from tasting the bitterness I experienced back when I was young.” If he couldn’t be promoted to the regiment commander’s position, he wouldn’t be able to make a good arrangement for Xiao Wei in the future.

Wei Wei felt distressed. “Okay, I’ll think of ways again to see how I can resolve the conflict between me and Jiajia. Aunt cares about Jiajia the most. If Jiajia is willing to treat me as a biological brother, I think aunt wouldn’t treat me too harshly.”

Sigh. He didn’t understand it. His grandma had taught him since he was a child that girls weren’t valuable and that Jiajia, who was a money-losing daughter, wasn’t as important as him. Why was it that when he grew up, he had to please a girl instead?

Indeed, grandsons or granddaughters weren’t important. What was important was to have good parents!

After Wei De sent Wei Wei off, he didn’t leave immediately. Instead, he pulled Mother Wei into the room for a chat. “Mom, do you still want the best for me and Xiao Wei?”

“Of course.” She wanted this even in her dreams. “If I don’t, would I let you marry Zhai Hua, that old woman whom no one wanted, and cause Xiao Wei to be a fatherless child since young? Do you know how many times Xiao Wei had fought with others as they had laughed at him for being fatherless?”

Her grandson had really suffered huge grievances.

Wei Wei, who coincidentally came over to find Mother Wei, was about to open the door when he heard Mother Wei’s words. In the Wei family, Wei Wei had the biggest say. He never had to knock on anyone’s door upon entering. This habit was naturally formed because of Mother Wei.

Wei Wei was stunned. Didn’t grandma say that his mother had an affair with a man outside and then gave birth to him? Why did his grandma’s words sound like he had known who his father was all along?

“Mom, don’t say such words often in the future. If anyone hears them, there will be trouble. Do you know that Zhai Hua has always been angry that you only treat Xiao Wei well and completely ignored Jiajia? She even mentioned that she wanted a divorce today.” Wei De had a headache. If it was possible, he didn’t want anyone to mention his real relationship with Wei Wei.

His ‘sister’ was honest. Even if she was resented and hated by Wei Wei, she never mentioned the topic of ‘father’ in front of the children. Instead, in order to make him feel guiltier toward Wei Wei, his mom had mentioned this matter from time to time to stimulate him.

If he didn’t do so back then, it would be a problem for him to become a platoon leader today, let alone a company commander. Who knows? He might even be forced to retire early because of his poor performance. How then would the Wei family be able to lead a good life today, and how would his mom be able to become an old privileged woman?

This topic was a taboo in their Wei family. His mom was really confused.

Mother Wei looked embarrassed. “I didn’t say it to anyone outside. Aren’t we at our own house where there are only the both of us? I feel wronged for Xiao Wei. If there were others around, I wouldn’t have mentioned this.” She wasn’t a fool.

“Wait a minute. You said that Zhai Hua wants to divorce you. How thick-skinned is she to mention that to you? Even if someone should mention it, it should be you! If you hadn’t married her back then, who else could she have married given her age? Now that she’s married and has children, she wouldn’t be able to find another man after getting a divorce. She wants to divorce? Is she insane?” Once Mother Wei started speaking, she degraded Zhai Hua completely. It was as if Wei De was no different from a garbage collector when he married Zhai Hua back then.

Wei De rubbed his temples and sat down. “Okay, Mom. Don’t use this set of rhetoric in front of others. Back then, if I didn’t pretend to be a grandson, how would I pursue Zhai Hua successfully? The women from the Zhai family aren’t eager to get married. As long as the Zhai family is willing, Zhai Hua could get married a third or fourth time, let alone a second time. The men she finds might even be stronger than me.”

This was the truth. This was the benefit of having power!

As such, he wasn’t willing to take this lying down and admit defeat. In this lifetime, he had such a huge difference with Zhai Hua. He had to pretend to be a grandson to marry Zhai Hua. Regardless of the number of times Zhai Hua was married, someone would still want her. How unfair was this reality?

He had already experienced such a lifestyle. He didn’t want his son or his son’s son to be the same as him, living without dignity and face. To sacrifice his generation so that the generations after would lead a good life, Wei De felt that everything he had suffered was worth it.

After hearing what her son said, Mother Wei didn’t feel good in her heart. How good was her son? Compared to others, especially with Zhai Hua, he was only lacking in terms of family background. Her wonderful son was ruined by an old woman like Zhai Hua, but the Zhai family wasn’t grateful and even bullied Ah De. On what basis? That the Zhai family had a high status?

If their family had a high status as well, that old woman from the Zhai family would just be waiting to die alone. Hadn’t she relied on the Zhai family’s status at her age as well? Did she really think that she was an eighteen-year-old young lady whom everyone was vying for?

“Okay, since you don’t like to listen, I won’t say it anymore. As long as you and Xiao Wei lead a good life in the future, I don’t have any other expectations in this lifetime. You and Xiao Wei are the most important people in my life. Nothing is more important than you father-and-son pair being well. Starting today, if I see Zhai Hua in the future, I’ll treat her and Jiajia better. I’ll treat that mother-and-daughter pair like ancestors to coax them. Will that do?”

As long as she did this, the Zhai family would be willing to return like for like and treat her son and grandson better. If that was the case, it wasn’t impossible for her to treat Zhai Hua and her daughter the same way. What she wanted was reciprocity. They could continue to be relatives if everyone was more polite with one another.

The Zhai family treated her son well. She would treat the Zhai family’s daughter well. The logic was that simple.

“Oh...” Wei Wei was stunned. What did his grandma’s word mean? What was meant by ‘you father-and-son pair’?
