Chapter 173 Xiao Wei takes action
Wei Shuqing peeled an orange and stuffed it into her father's mouth: "Dad, are you willing to give it to me?"
"No matter how reluctant I am, I'll let him gnaw on my old bones!"
Wei's father was very emotional.
Seeing this, Wei Shuqing tried to calm down and comfort his father. After a lot of effort, she finally managed to calm him down.
It seems that Wei Shujiang's plan to sell the old house has hurt Wei's father's feelings badly.
The old man silently ate an orange, drank a bowl of egg soup, ate five pork and scallion buns, and two pieces of egg cake. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he said earnestly, "If your mother makes a fuss, let him go with the second son!"
Wei's father thought clearly. He and Wei's mother had two sons. He would raise the eldest son, and Wei's mother would raise the second son. It was fair for each of them to raise one.
But after all the years of marriage, the old man still felt empty and sad. He lay with his back to Wei Shuqing and secretly shed tears.
Looking at the sad but still able to eat old man, Wei Shuqing was both angry and amused. She could only pat him on the back: "What are you thinking? We won't let my mother suffer with Wei Shujiang, don't worry."
The old man's worry turned into joy: "Really?"
He trusted his daughter. Wei Shuqing had been a responsible person since she was young. If she said she would not let her mother leave, she would not be able to leave.
"More real than pearls."
In order to make her parents happy in their later years, Wei Shuqing took care of her father for five days and then drove her mother to the department store to buy clothes.
In the past few days, Wei's mother has been stewing soup, cooking, and delivering meals, and she has lost a lot of weight.
The old lady who had come to her senses started to surround the old man. As for the second son's family, they had hands and feet and would not starve to death.
"Why are you buying me clothes for no reason?"
Wei's mother always felt uneasy.
Her previous behavior was too blatant and biased, and it even made the old man sick. The eldest son and daughter couldn't be angry with her, so they asked her to live with Wei Shujiang, right?
No matter how much she pretends to be a mother, Wei's mother understands that her second son is unreliable.
"Finally, I will show my filial piety and let you go to Hong Kong in a dignified manner."
Wei Shuqing was cheating. After she finished speaking, she secretly looked at Wei's mother's expression through the rearview mirror.
As expected, Mother Wei acted as if she was facing a formidable enemy, and her expression suddenly changed: "Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing... I won't go to Hong Kong!"
Fallen leaves return to their roots, and when people get old, they become particularly attached to their hometown.
What's more, her husband and home are here. She doesn't want to leave her hometown and make a living under her second son.
Wei Shuqing pretended not to let go: "Mom, look, you and my dad have two sons. For the past ten years, it was my eldest brother and I who took care of you. Now that my second brother is back, it makes perfect sense for you to live with him in your old age."
"No, I can't be separated from your father!"
Mother Wei was so nervous that sweat was pouring down her head.
Wei Shuqing sighed, "Mom, this is what Dad meant. You like your second brother the most anyway, so following him is exactly what you want."
"Xiaoqing, Mom was wrong, Xiaoqing!"
Wei's mother was really panicked now, and she began to regret what she had done.
She had such a good life for a few years that she forgot about the big and small Wangs in the family.
For the sake of a son who has not returned home for more than ten years, she goes against her eldest son and daughter who are filial and control the economy.
Tears of regret fell, and Mother Wei was helpless and could only cry: "Xiaoqing, from now on, Mom will listen to you and your eldest brother in everything!"
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Wei Shuqing handed over a tissue: "Mom, you are my biological mother. Although I am your daughter, I also have the responsibility to support you. Wipe your tears. Since you don't want to go to Hong Kong, then you don't have to go."
"Xiaoqing, my good daughter, I was wrong before!"
Wei's mother apologized immediately, and Wei Shuqing stopped while she was ahead and bought two pieces of clothing and a bracelet. The mother and daughter reconciled as before.
On Wei Shujiang's side, Xiao Xia had just finished taking care of the old man for ten days and ensured that he was discharged safely from the hospital. Then, Wei Shuhai packed her up and sent her to the dock.
"Xiao Xia, you've worked hard to take care of our dad. He's not paralyzed, and he doesn't have any sequelae."
Wei Shuhai still has confidence in his brother's wife.
What a good girl.
He and Yang Liu prepared a pair of bracelets, and Wei Shuqing also prepared a necklace for Xiaoxia to thank her for her hard work over the past few days.
The Wei brothers and sisters are loyal and honest, and will never mistreat any good person.
Xiao Xia wanted to refuse, thinking that taking care of the elderly was her duty, but she saw Wei Shujiang had already accepted the gift.
He sighed, and all his arrogance disappeared.
"Brother, I'm tired of drifting outside and really want to go home."
Wei Shujiang tried to impress his elder brother by showing weakness and brotherhood, but his elder brother just smiled.
"Come back if you miss home. Your clothing store is doing great. It would be a shame to throw it away!"
Wei Shuhai patted his shoulder.
He had already bought the return boat tickets, and all that was missing was Wei Shujiang and his family getting on board.
Seeing that no one at home really welcomed him anymore and his elder brother and younger sister didn't want to help him, Wei Shujiang had no choice but to take his wife and children back to Hong Kong.
He didn't even go to say goodbye to Wei's father and mother. The two elders were disappointed with him and naturally didn't see him.
But Wei's mother loved her grandchildren so much that she gave each of her three grandchildren 500 yuan.
After all, this might be the last time we see each other.
After Wei Shujiang returned to Hong Kong, the Wei family returned to its former tranquility.
It’s just that Wei Shuqing doesn’t go back to her parents’ home as often, and her four children don’t like to play at their grandmother’s house as much anymore.
Wei's father and mother suddenly felt a lot more peaceful, so peaceful that they felt a little lonely.
Some things, once broken, will always leave traces.
Wei's mother regretted her decision.
Half a year later, she received a letter from her son and asked a cultured scholar to read it to her.
It turned out that Xiao Xia could no longer bear Wei Shujiang's beatings and resolutely divorced Wei Shujiang.
The social atmosphere in Hong Kong is more open and divorce is easier than in the mainland.
According to the law, the family property is divided equally between the two children. The two older children belong to Wei Shujiang, and the youngest Xiaozheng lives with Xiaoxia.
Xiao Xia saw clearly that the two big ones had been ruined, and she couldn't let her incompetent husband ruin her youngest son again.
Wei Shujiang said in the letter that it was inconvenient for him to take care of his two sons alone, and the woman he was dating also thought that the two children were a burden and wanted to send the children to Wei's parents' home to be raised.
This time, Wei's mother learned her lesson. She sent some food from home to express her relief to her son, but she flatly refused her son's request to send her grandson back.
She and Mr. Wei are old and live under the care of their eldest son and daughter. They can no longer act on their own and add burden to their eldest son and daughter.
Seeing his mother's cruelty, Wei Shujiang was very disappointed with his family. He completely cut off all contact with them and disappeared into the vast sea of people...
