Chapter 246 – My Daughter Will Not Sacrifice Everything For Her Younger Brother (part 18)
It turned out that after Father Zhang left with the child that day, he immediately went to Q City by car. Zhang Wei personally picked them up at the station and then took them to take a bath and change into clean clothes before taking them home.
Father Zhang was still a little unhappy. He felt that Zhang Wei was disgusted by them and he didn’t think about who it was who made he and his grandson end up like this.
Zhang Wei explained helplessly, saying that his mother-in-law was a nurse in the hospital. She was a little bit of a clean-freak and was rather particular. In addition, Little An was pregnant now, so they paid special attention to these things. It was all for the sake of the child, so Father Zhang should not care about it too much.
When he mentioned his grandson, Father Zhang was reluctant to calm down, but he glanced at his ignorant grandson. “Let me tell you, Bao’er is also my grandson. He is your son, so you can’t play favourites!” Although the child in that woman’s belly was also his grandson, but how could he compare with Bao’er? Bao’er was his eldest grandson, the righteous eldest grandson.
Zhang Wei glanced at his son, who didn’t even call him dad and who only looked at his phone. It would be a lie if he said he wasn’t disappointed. But no matter what, he was also his eldest son, a precious son born with the hopes of the whole family.
“Don’t worry, dad, I won’t play favourites. Little An will also take good care of Bao’er. Just wait and enjoy!” Zhang Wei said with a smile.
Father Zhang was relieved, and asked again, “You and Qi Ya have not yet divorced. Then, this child will be born…”
“Don’t worry, we have a good relationship,” Zhang Wei said proudly. Only when Zhang Wei came to Q City did he realise that life could be so happy. Although Q City was only a small county town, and was not as prosperous as his hometown, but the prices here were low. He bought a four-bedroom place here with the money he sold the house for and he still had money left over. He rented a facade with the remaining money and started a small business. The business was also very profitable.
Without going home, his mother-in-law cooked a hot meal. He didn’t need to do anything. His mother-in-law and Little An arranged everything in an orderly manner. It had been great so far.
It was not until later that Zhang Wei saw news of Father Zhang on the Internet did he realise that so many things had happened after he left. Qi Ya ran away, Liu Chun also ran away, and Father Zhang had nowhere to go with the child. Zhang Wei felt extremely guilty. He didn’t expect that Little An and his mother-in-law would offer to house Father Zhang and his son, saying that the family could live together peacefully.
Zhang Wei was moved by the thoughtfulness and general knowledge of Little An and his mother-in-law, so he called Father Zhang.
They walked out of the station. Zhang Wei walked to the parking lot. Father Zhang saw him driving a new car. “You’re living a good life. You even bought a car!”
“My mother-in-law bought it for me,” Zhang Wei said proudly. “Dad, son, get in the car. Let’s go home!”
Father Zhang hugged his grandson, snorted, and got into the car.
After arriving at the place, Father Zhang looked around and saw that it was not bad. “Dad, the environment in this community is good. In my hometown, it is impossible to buy such a house at the same price! This is a duplex building. Our house is on the second floor, so going up and down the stairs won’t be so tiring. Come on, dad, let’s go home!”
They went in and changed into indoor slippers. Father Zhang saw that Zhang Wei and the others were taking off their shoes at home, while his and his grandson had to wear disposable slippers. He immediately became a little unhappy. If they were sincere in picking them up, then why didn’t they prepare a pair of slippers for him and his grandson?
Father Zhang wanted to complain, but when he saw Little An’s huge belly, he held back.
Little An came up timidly and called out, “Dad!”
Father Zhang hummed casually and sat on the sofa with his grandson in his arms. As soon as Bao’er got to the sofa, he started bouncing around and used the sofa as a trampoline.
At this moment, a woman came out of the kitchen, carrying a few cups of hot tea and milk. She frowned when she saw a child jumping up and down on the sofa.
“My in-laws are here. Let’s drink tea. A-Wei too. Did you get the slippers for your father and child? These are disposable slippers worn by guests. Didn’t Little An buy a few new pairs of slippers in the supermarket last time? Let them wear those!”
Zhang Wei scratched his head in embarrassment. “I forgot. Dad, let me introduce you. This is my mother-in-law, surnamed Fang. Mum, this is my dad, and this is my son Zhang Da whose nickname is Bao’er.” Then, he quickly went to get the slippers and let Father Zhang put them on.
Father Zhang’s complexion improved only now. This was much better!
Fang Jie smiled and took the milk. “Bao’er, right? Come to Grandma to get some milk, okay?”
Bao’er shook his head and said loudly, “I want to drink Coke! Coke!”
Fang Jie frowned, glanced at Zhang Wei, and said patiently, “Bao’er, drinking too many carbonated beverages is not good for your health. Milk is nutritious! It is good!”
Then, she walked to Bao’er with the milk in her hand, but Bao’er didn’t appreciate it at all. With a wave of his hand, he knocked over the milk. The milk spilled on the sofa and the cup rolled off the sofa and shattered on the floor with a bang.
Little An was taken aback. Zhang Wei hurried over to check her condition.
Fang Jie’s face was a little ugly. This child was not just simple and self-willed. This child was rude and had no discipline!
With a gloomy face, she stopped talking. She wiped it up with a tissue first, then took off the sofa cushion. She was very unhappy when she saw that the sofa was also soaked with milk. She went to the kitchen and got a broom to sweep away the broken glass. Then, she brought a basin of clean water and squatted down to clean the sofa.
Father Zhang’s face was flushed with anger. The child was just naughty and ignorant. Why bother so much?!
Father Zhang looked at Zhang Wei angrily, but Zhang Wei didn’t pay attention to it at all. Zhang Wei only asked how Little An was.
Father Zhang was so angry that he was about to slap the table when suddenly, someone knocked on the door.
Seeing that Father Zhang’s face was bad, Little An quickly stood up. “I’ll open the door. Older brother, take care of dad and the child!”
Only then did Zhang Wei see that Father Zhang was angry and he felt a little helpless. His mother-in-law was just like this and she didn’t mean to target anyone. She and Little An had to go outside to comb their hair for fear of leaving hair around in the house. But it was not easy to tell Father Zhang these words now. Zhang Wei planned to find a time to explain it to Father Zhang.
Zhang Wei got up, sat beside Father Zhang, and Little An went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, she asked, “Who are you looking for?” Before she could say anything, she was pushed to the ground forcefully.
Immediately after, someone kicked her stomach. She screamed in horror but couldn’t stop the other’s foot.
Her stomach hurt! Little An grabbed her stomach and got up, trying to turn around and protect her stomach.
The people in the living room also heard the movement at the door. Zhang Wei ran over immediately. When he saw the person, he was stunned. “Qi Ya!”
When Qi Ya heard the sound, she continued to kick Little An’s stomach without raising her head.
In fact, Qi Ya didn’t leave at all. She just hid and followed Father Zhang and the child secretly. She knew that no matter how ruthless Zhang Wei was, he would never leave Father Zhang and his child alone. Sure enough, she guessed right. She followed Father Zhang and the child all the way to Q City, and finally found the whereabouts of Zhang Wei and that slut.
While protecting her stomach, Little An shouted, “Brother, save me! Save me! My stomach hurts!”
Zhang Wei saw that Little An was in pain. He reacted and rushed over to hold Qi Ya. “What are you trying to do?! Get out of here quickly. You are trespassing! I will call the police and have you arrested!”
Qi Ya sneered a few times. “What do I want to do? Hmph! You forged my signature, sold my clothing store and my son’s house without my consent, and then bought a house for this slut! You have the audacity to ask me what I want to do! Zhang Wei, I’m not finished with you.”
Zhang Wei felt a little guilty. “What nonsense are you spouting?!”
Over there, Fang Jie heard the movement and ran over to check on her daughter’s condition. Seeing the bloodstains spreading on her daughter’s pants, her expression changed greatly. “Hurry up! Call an ambulance and call the police! Let the police handle it.”
Zhang Wei immediately took out his cell phone and prepared to call the police.
Father Zhang came out with his grandson in his arms, and quickly stopped him. “You can’t call the police. This is a family matter, so let’s discuss it carefully. Don’t call the police!”
Seeing that Zhang Wei really pressed 110, Qi Ya didn’t hold back at all. Thinking of what he had done, Qi Ya was filled with grief and anger. She saw a fruit knife in the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and immediately rushed over, picked up the fruit knife and stabbed Little An in the stomach. “I’ll kill you, slut!”
Fang Jie screamed in fright and stood in front of her daughter.
When Zhang Wei saw this, he didn’t have time to think about anything. He rushed over to grab the knife, and the two of them fought.
After all, Qi Ya was a woman. She was not as strong as Zhang Wei. The knife was taken by him, but Qi Ya refused to admit defeat and wanted to grab it back.
Suddenly, Qi Ya suddenly stopped moving. Zhang Wei heaved a sigh of relief and sat up, gasping for air.
But he heard Father Zhang’s trembling voice. “She, she, she…”
Zhang Wei looked back. He saw that Qi Ya had a knife stuck in his chest. He looked at his hands blankly. Where was the knife? Wasn’t it in his hands? How could it be in Qi Ya?
At this time, several screams came from outside the door. Zhang Wei raised his head blankly only to find that the door was open. It was the neighbors who heard the movement who happened to see this scene.
What happened next could be imagined. Zhang Wei was taken away by the police and the child in Little An’s belly could not be saved.
Only then did Fang Jie know that Zhang Wei and her daughter had been lying to her. Zhang Wei said that his relationship with his ex-wife broke down and they were separated. The reason why all the formalities had not been completed was because his ex-wife’s mother was ill and the operation had not yet been completed. He had said for a while that he would go through the formalities before marrying Little An. Little An also knelt down and said that they really loved each other. Zhang Wei also spent money to buy a house, to buy a car, rent a shop, and do business. The house and car were all written up with her daughter’s name, which was full of sincerity.
Fang Jie agreed with them. She didn’t expect that it was all a scam. Fang Jie was very angry, but looking at her daughter, she felt helpless.
Father Zhang also wanted to save his son and wanted to pay a lawyer to defend his son to reduce the sentence. But, he didn’t have that much money on him. Those stock funds were not easy to cash in for a while. Furthermore, Father Zhang was also a little selfish. Those stock funds were to be left to Bao’er. He didn’t want to move them unless he had to.
So, Father Zhang and Fang Jie discussed the matter of the house and car, and then discussed getting a lawyer for Zhang Wei.
