Chapter 1894: They All Know

“At the very least, before Zhai Sheng’s feelings for me become deeper than they are for the Zhai family, I’ll strive hard to treat the Zhai family just like how I treat you.”

As long as she could get remarried to Zhai Sheng and become the chief’s wife, she was willing to endure whatever hardship that would come her way.

Upon hearing this, Qi Minlan understood that her daughter had not truly understood her words. However, this change was still good compared to her daughter’s mindset in the past. She was uncertain if the Zhai family would be willing to give her daughter a second chance due to this change, but since her daughter was still unwilling to give up, she would just have to allow her daughter to take another shot.

Unfortunately, the matter between Zhai Hua and Wei De had not created too much trouble. Although Zhai Hua had been taken to the police station while Wei Xiaomei and Wei De had been sent to the hospital, the police officers had wisely chosen to keep mum about the situation after learning of Zhai Hua’s identity. There were some situations where they could follow the rules strictly, but there were some things that could never be said.

As for Wei Xiaomei and Wei De, who had been sent to the hospital, they would never reveal to outsiders why they had been hospitalized or who had beaten them up. The hospital only knew that they had accepted two lightly injured patients. They knew nothing apart from that.

Because of that, it was difficult for Qiu Chenxi to learn about what had happened to Zhai Hua.

Zhai Hua gradually calmed down, and Jiajia also slowly recovered thanks to the support from the people around her. But the entire Wei family was sleepless that night.

Father and Mother Wei had wanted to find Jiajia at that very moment and use her as a bargaining chip to settle the matter with Zhai Hua. The problem was that Father and Mother Wei had practically combed the entire Ping Cheng but had still not managed to find their granddaughter, Jiajia.

Since the elderly couple paid no heed to their granddaughter, Jiajia, at all, they had no clue about where to look for her besides the two houses. With no other choice, Father Wei thought of calling Jiajia’s teacher to ask whom Jiajia was close to in school.

Within a minute of coming up with this solution, Father Wei then realized that he knew where Jiajia studied, but not who her teacher was or her mobile number. After all, Zhai Hua had been the one taking care of all these matters.

“We have no direction at all?” Wei De did not know how to respond to such an answer. This was the first time he truly felt how neglected Jiajia was by his parents. “Dad, Mom, you guys are really too neglectful. Jiajia is your granddaughter and Zhai Hua’s only daughter. It’s not as if Jiajia can’t feel how you guys treat her. Zhai Hua can see that too! How much feeling could Zhai Hua and Jiajia possibly have for our family? How else will I be able to persuade Zhai Hua to let go of this matter?”

Their interpersonal relationships were truly too weak.

Mother Wei realized her mistake, but it was too late for that now. “I haven’t seen you taking care of your daughter, Jiajia, either. Besides, I still have my grandson, Wei Wei.”

Mother Wei had always placed more emphasis on her son, Wei De. Whomever her son liked was whom she liked too. In Mother Wei’s heart, her grandson, Wei Wei, would never match up to her son, Wei De. She gave birth to her son, while her grandson was someone else’s child.

Since Wei De placed more emphasis on his son, Wei Wei, and had even revealed his dissatisfaction toward Zhai Hua in his words, Mother Wei had unhesitatingly stood on Wei De’s side and had long ago expressed her dissatisfaction for her daughter-in-law, Zhai Hua. As such, she had also been completely biased toward Wei Wei in front of Jiajia, treating Wei Wei like a king.

Without her son’s attitude as a guide, Mother Wei would never have treated Wei Wei and Jiajia so differently. Now that her son was blaming her, Mother Wei had to explain herself. Her different treatment of her granddaughter and grandson was because of her son’s love.

Wei De’s head was splitting. He could not find a good rebuttal to his mother’s explanation since that was the truth. It was shocking. Had he really been so obvious in his difference in treatment? If even his mom had seen it so clearly, how could Zhai Hua and Jiajia not have experienced it?

Wei De still remembered the promises he had made to Zhai Hua before their marriage. If he had not given Jiajia enough paternal love all these years, Zhai Hua would probably already have had lots to say about that. “It might be good for us that Jiajia is missing. Zhai Hua cares a lot about Jiajia. If I perform well now, there might be a way to salvage the situation. Mom, Dad, help me get the discharge procedures done now. I want to find Jiajia.”

“I don’t think that’s right.” Mother Wei disagreed. “Your injuries aren’t light. If you don’t recover well now, you’ll never recover.” It would be even better if her son did not need to return to the military and could stay at home to recuperate for another three months. That was what the Zhai family’s son had done. Why could other family’s sons do that but not hers?

“I think Ah De’s solution sounds quite good. He hasn’t been injured that badly anyway. If we keep waiting until Ah De gets a divorce from Zhai Hua, our family will really have nothing then.” No matter what, it boiled down to the fact that the Wei family had nothing to call their own and depended solely on Zhai Hua. They knew that they would be left with nothing once Zhai Hua severed her ties with their family.

If he had known that such a day would come, he would have helped Zhai Hua out a little more. In that case, he would be able to convince Zhai Hua to forgive Wei De as her father-in-law. Without having established any relationship previously, Father Wei knew that Zhai Hua would never listen to him even if he was thick-skinned enough to beg for mercy on Wei De’s behalf. If he were really to do that, he would only be embarrassing himself.

After Father Wei and Wei De came to an agreement, Father Wei immediately handled the discharge procedures for his son. It was only then that the Wei family found out that the Zhai family had already returned to Ping Cheng.

Upon hearing the news, Wei De, who had just been discharged, turned pale. “It seems like the Zhai family has already found out about me and Xiaomei.” Otherwise, why would the Zhai family turn up all together in Ping Cheng? “Dad, Mom, when we go to the Zhai family’s house later and if they want to beat me up, remember not to stand in their way. You should even try to join in and help them beat me and scold me. Anyway, I’m sure I won’t die from that. All these injuries don’t mean anything.”
