Chapter 240 – My Daughter Will Not Sacrifice Everything For Her Younger Brother (part 12)
In fact, Zhang Wei’s objection to Father Zhang’s remarriage was not because of any property. He believed that the old man was not stupid. He would not leave his own son and his grandson to subsidise outsiders who had no blood relationship at all. He just couldn’t accept this in his heart. It had only been a few months since his mother passed away and the old man was getting married again!
No matter what, Qi Ya was right. It had to be suppressed before anything even started. Otherwise, he didn’t know how much trouble it would cause in the future!
Unfortunately, things were often not as easy as they thought.
The couple thought about it in the middle of the night. They thought about everything and felt that they hadn’t missed anything. They just fell asleep.
As a result, as soon as they lay down, the child suddenly woke up. Without the familiar embrace and smell, the child immediately began to cry.
Qi Ya turned over impatiently, pushed Zhang Wei, then covered her head with the quilt and continued to sleep.
Zhang Wei sat up irritably. He glared at Qi Ya and got out of bed, distraught, to check on their son’s condition. First, he tried hugging and coaxing the child. It didn’t work. He clumsily changed the child’s diaper. As a result, his rough hands hurt the child, and the child cried louder.
Qi Ya sat up from the bed and threw the pillow on the ground. “What’s the matter with you, Zhang Wei? You can’t even coax a child! It’s already late and you aren’t letting anyone sleep!”
Zhang Wei became impatient. “Come here if you think you can do it!”
Saying that, he really didn’t care. He folded his arms across his chest.
Qi Ya saw her precious son lying there with his clothes open and belly exposed.
She changed her son’s diaper first, and then held him in her arms to coax him.
But it still didn’t work. Her son was still crying.
Qi Ya coaxed her son patiently for more than ten minutes. Seeing that it was useless, her patience was about to run out. “What’s the matter? Why do you keep crying! Are you hungry? Go and make milk powder for your son!”
Zhang Wei glanced at her, but he was obedient. He got up to make milk powder, but when he saw the milk powder cans and bottles, he was worried again. “How do I do this?”
“Put the water first, then the milk powder. Do what is written on the milk powder can. The can says how many milliliters of water to how many spoons of milk powder!” Qi Ya said impatiently. She just didn’t know how many milliliters of milk her son drank right now! “Forget it. Use 180 mL of water! Warm water! Use warm water! Do you want to burn your son to death?!” Qi Ya roared loudly. As a result, the child in her arms cried even louder.
After finally getting the milk powder, Qi Ya tried the temperature and it was just right. She quickly fed it to her son. Unfortunately, her son didn’t appreciate it. When she tried to put the bottle in her son’s mouth, he spit it out before taking a deep breath and continued to cry.
Crying made people upset!
Qi Ya lost her patience and shoved her son into Zhang Wei’s arms. “Why does he keep crying?! Is he sick? Should we go to the hospital for a check-up?!”
Zhang Wei suddenly thought of something. “Auntie Liu used to sleep with the baby. Doesn’t he need company?”
Qi Ya thought about it. She was busy with her business. Liu Chun took her son with her when he was born, and Liu Chun took him to sleep with her.
“I knew it! How could she be so good to our son? In the end she had such an idea! Bah, her intentions are too sinister! This is deliberately attracting my son to her!” Qi Ya said angrily.
Zhang Wei also couldn’t help his son who was crying endlessly. Although he was distressed, he was more irritable. How could this child cry like that? It wasn’t like this before!
“It’s too late to talk about this now. This is what happens when you don’t take care of your own children! What should we do now? Shall we bow our heads?” Zhang Wei was impatient. He put his son on the bed and let him cry slowly.
“She wants to steal my son and make me bow to her? Don’t even think about it!” Qi Ya immediately retorted. “Just let him cry. Won’t he take a break when he’s tired of crying? Let him be hungry if he doesn’t want to drink milk. If he’s hungry, then he should drink.”
“Let’s find another nanny. I can’t do it alone,” Zhang Wei said.
“You want to look for a nanny. Do you have money? I have some money on me, but that’s this month’s salary, as well as the rent, utilities, and electricity, so I can’t use it,” Qi Ya said with a frown.
Then, she remembered something and went out to look around.
“Okay! How does everything go so quickly?! There is only one can of milk powder, and the diapers are almost gone.” Qi Ya folded her arms. The more she talked, the angrier she became.
Zhang Wei frowned, then looked up at Qi Ya. “You don’t have any money on you? Your clothing store has been open for so long and you haven’t saved any money?”
“What do you mean by that?” Qi Ya glared at Zhang Wei. “Where did all my money go? You eat, drink and wear clothes. Wasn’t that all bought with my money? You lost tens of thousands in mahjong games and you’re asking where my money went?”
Zhang Wei rolled his eyes. “Come on, it’s not like I spent the money alone. Didn’t you spend it? Don’t you also play mahjong? You lose more than I do! Besides, when you are rich, you only care about dressing yourself. All those clothes, jewellery, cosmetics, bags, and other things… How much did you buy? All the expenses of our son are paid by my parents. You have the nerve to say this!”
Qi Ya glared at him. The two of them were about to quarrel again when suddenly there was a bang, and the two hurried over to see that the child, who had been lying on the bed, had turned over and fallen off the bed.
The crying stopped for a few seconds, then got louder.
Qi Ya was startled, and quickly picked up the child. She turned him over and looked at him. There was a large swollen lump on his head. Angrily Qi Ya scolded, “What are you doing?! You put the child on the bed! Why didn’t you grab a pillow or something to prevent him from falling off?! Our son fell! Now what do we do?!”
Zhang Wei felt distressed when he saw this. “What nonsense are you talking about? Hurry up and go to the hospital!”
Over there, after Father Zhang and Liu Chun left the house. They had nowhere to go for a while, so they went to the hotel for the night. When the front desk clerk saw that the two of them were about to open the room, their eyes…
Annoyed, Father Zhang took out a photo of the marriage certificate. “Look, we are legally husband and wife!”
The front desk clerk blushed and then checked them in.
It was just that the two of them didn’t sleep all night. First, they couldn’t sleep because of something in their hearts, and second, they were thinking about their children.
Especially Liu Chun. She was reluctant to have a baby. The reason why she worked in the Zhang family for so long was not only because of the high salary given by the Zhang family, but also because the baby was born when she was there. She had loved the child for a long time. Now that she left suddenly, she was really worried.
Father Zhang was the same.
The two tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep.
It was hard to get through until dawn. Liu Chun saw Father Zhang suffering. In order to show her virtuousness, and express her regret for the baby, she said, “Why don’t we go back? We can’t make the children suffer for the sake of anger, especially the baby. How old is he? When he left me, he didn’t know how to cry! We can live how we used to! ”
Father Zhang sighed. “Go back? Don’t worry. Since you are with me, I will not treat you badly. I am so much older than you and I will definitely die before you. I will make sure you are well taken care of before I die.”
Liu Chun’s feelings were a little complicated, so she bowed her head and said nothing.
The two packed up and went home, but it was empty and there was no one at home. When they asked the neighbours, they found out that the baby cried in the middle of the night and seemed to have fallen off the bed. The family had gone to the hospital.
Father Zhang felt dizzy and almost fell. Liu Chun quickly supported him. “Let’s go to the hospital!”
The two were supporting each other as they were about to go to the hospital when they heard a cry from a distance. They looked up. Zhang Wei and Qi Ya got out of the taxi with the child in their arms.
Liu Chun supported Father Zhang and hurried over to meet them. “How’s the baby?”
When Qi Ya saw Liu Chun, she quickly handed over the child who was crying too much. He cried in the middle of the night. He then was tired from crying in the hospital, so he slept for an hour, then woke up and cried again! Her head hurt so much!
Liu Chun hugged the child, distressed. When the child was in her arms, the crying gradually became quieter. Liu Chun heard the child cry until his voice became hoarse, and felt extremely distressed. “My dear, stop crying! Are you hungry, my dear? Come, let’s go back to drink some milk!”
Father Zhang looked at them next to him and felt extremely distressed.
Zhang Wei and Qi Ya saw that the child stopped crying when the child was in Liu Chun’s arms. They didn’t want to accept it.
The neighbours watched and shook their heads. This family was really something. The parents were not like actual parents. The nanny was not like an actual nanny. It was messy.
Liu Chun changed the child’s clothes, changed the diaper, and fed him milk and water. The child finally fell asleep in Liu Chun’s arms, but he didn’t sleep well and woke up after a while. Only after hearing Liu Chun’s voice did he fall asleep again.
Zhang Wei and Qi Ya were lying on the sofa, exhausted. Father Zhang was relieved when he saw that his grandson was asleep. He walked out of the room, glanced at them, and said, “Since everyone is here, let’s make it clear. I’m already married to Liu Chun. It is a fact, whether you like it or not! You have also seen that this family, whether it is me or the baby, cannot do without her. You didn’t bother with this before. How we have lived in the past was never of a concern to you.”
“Dad, that’s not what I said. I don’t object to your marriage, but what about this property?” Qi Ya said while she rolled her eyes.
“Property, what property? This house is in the baby’s name. What do you have to worry about? As for everything else, I have paid for all the expenses after the baby was born. Have you paid a single cent? Is that still not enough for you? I’m not dead yet and yet you want to divide my property?” Father Zhang said angrily, “Now that I’ve said this, I’ll make it clear. Since your Auntie Liu is married to me, I won’t ignore her. In the future, my money will be divided in half. The baby gets half and the rest will be given to your Auntie Liu. If you object, then you can pay the bill. If you don’t let us take the baby, then forget about it. If you let us take the baby, then we will pay for all the baby’s expenses! You can do it!”
How could Qi Ya agree? Zhang Wei had already told her that the old man had a lot of private houses. In addition to the monthly pension, when the old lady died, the unit gave a lot of money at one time, all of which were in the hands of the old man. In addition, the old man still has some stocks, funds, and other things, which were worth a lot of money. Why was it cheap for outsiders!
But Zhang Wei thought about it. Instead of tearing his face and getting nothing, it was better to arrange it like this now. “Okay, I have no problem. It’s just dad. Since Auntie Liu and we are already a family, then she doesn’t have to be paid!”
Father Zhang nodded. “This is natural.”
When Liu Chun heard this, she groaned. If she didn’t get paid her salary, wouldn’t she be working in vain? Although the old man said that, the old man was very healthy. Who even knew when he would die? If he didn’t die, he would not pay a penny to help him take care of his grandson? What?!
