Chapter 241 – My Daughter Will Not Sacrifice Everything For Her Younger Brother (part 13)
“One more point. I have to say the ugly thing first. After all, you and Auntie Liu are husband and wife. I have no problem with you giving Auntie Liu security for her life, but Auntie Liu’s children are not your responsibility. They will marry in the future. Since you are their stepfather, it doesn’t matter if there isn’t much in terms of a cash gift. They shouldn’t expect anything else!” Zhang Wei said directly.
Father Zhang glared at him. Idiot, shouldn’t he say these words in private?
Liu Chun was leaning against the door, listening. The more she heard, the colder her heart became.
But Qi Ya guessed something from the old man’s demeanor. She cleared her throat and said, “Dad knows what to do.”
Zhang Wei glanced at Qi Ya suspiciously. Didn’t she put up a struggle before? Now she was saying something so crazy!
When Father Zhang saw that he was not smart yet, he glared at this stupid son in disgust. Did his son think he was an old pervert who was blinded by a woman?
It was true that Father Zhang was a little attracted to Liu Chun, but this idea was not enough to make him lose his head. He ignored his son and grandson, and instead raised people who were not related to him. As long as Liu Chun could take good care of him and take good care of the baby, he could guarantee Liu Chun’s food and clothing for the rest of his life, but it was limited to that. Her two children were not his responsibility.
“Okay, it’s been a noisy night, and everyone is tired. Dad, go rest. Zhang Wei and I are going to the clothing store.” Qi Ya stood up. Then, she couldn’t help but pull Zhang Wei away.
On the way to the clothing store, Qi Ya told Zhang Wei of her guess. Zhang Wei suddenly saw the light, that the older were really wiser.
And over there, after Zhang Wei and Qi Ya left, Zhang’s father said to Liu Chun, “Don’t worry. Those words I said just now were me coaxing them. Since we are married, your children are my children. Although I don’t have the same deep affection for them as the baby or A-Wei, but for your sake, I won’t ignore them. You can rest assured! As for your salary, I will subsidise you privately. Just keep it quiet.”
Liu Chun was dubious.
Father Zhang turned around and went to the room and took out a few thousand dollars. “While the baby is asleep, you can take half of this money and send it to Little Jie and the others so that they can buy air tickets or train tickets. The rest is for you to buy some milk powder and diapers for the baby.”
Liu Chun held the money, and only half of her worries left. “Okay, I’ll go right now.”
Half an hour later, Liu Chun came back with a few cans of milk powder and two bags of diapers in her hand. Father Zhang estimated the price in his heart, which was still within the acceptable range, and smiled with satisfaction.
But Liu Chun said, “I discussed it with Little Jie and the others, but they still won’t come back. The family is finally safe, so it is good not to make any trouble. We can meet again when there is a chance!”
Father Zhang thought for a while and nodded. “That’s fine.”
Father Zhang waited for a long time, but Liu Chun didn’t give him the rest of the money. Father Zhang frowned slightly and hesitated.
After waiting for a long time, Liu Chun didn’t see any signs of Father Zhang asking her for the month. She was relieved when she knew that he couldn’t ask for face reasons. After she went out, she called her son and asked him if he had enough money and if he wanted her to send him some money.
Her son said that his sister had just received her salary, and she gave it all to him. The money was enough to spend, so she should not rush to hand over the money. She should save the money first.
Yes, only Liu Chun’s son went to college. Her daughter worked to earn money and take care of her younger brother.
Liu Chun told her son what happened in the Zhang family and asked her son what to do.
After her son thought about it, he told her not to believe the words of the Zhang family, but to prepare.
Liu Chun knew what to do.
The Zhang family lived such an incongruous life.
Although Zhang Wei did not go to W City to find Li Su for various reasons, he often contacted Li Su when Qi Ya was away. After Li Su answered the phone once, she knew it was him and never answered again. If the call was not answered, Zhang Wei would send a very long text message. First, he questioned Li Su’s character and where her money came from. Occasionally, he would talk to Li Su about family matters and his words revealed his nostalgia for the past.
Li Su was overwhelmed. She wondered how Zhang Wei knew her contact information. If she wanted to change her number, she would never have future troubles. But, there were too many things bound to the phone number, so it was not easy to change. She had to block Zhang Wei.
It was finally quiet for a few days. She never expected that Zhang Wei would change his number and continue to harass her by calling and texting.
After thinking about it, Li Su changed her number. Even if it took several days to deal with related follow-up issues, at the very least she had some peace and quiet from Zhang Wei.
As for whether Zhang Wei would come to W city to harass her, Li Su thought that Qi Ya would not let Zhang Wei come. She also did not know why the management of the residential property was much stricter now. It was not worth the expensive property that the owner paid every year. Non-community personnel were not allowed to enter without authorisation, and express delivery or other food items were not allowed to enter the community.
In addition, the police station was next to the community. Li Su was very relieved.
When Zhang Wei dialled that number again, the phone didn’t connect. He was so angry and helpless. He couldn’t tell what state of mind he was in right now. Ordinarily, he had everything now, so he should be happy. But, he always felt that there was an uncomfortable and uneasy feeling in his heart.
He never understood what went wrong until one day, he saw something happening on the street. The original wife beat the mistress on the street, but her husband fought against his wife in order to protect his mistress. The original wife’s head was beaten until it bled and she still knelt on the ground, begging her husband not to leave her. It was pitiful and miserable.
In an instant, Zhang Wei understood what was wrong.
Li Su was just a woman who had been abandoned by him. She should cry bitterly and regretting it every day. How could she live such a beautiful and free life?! It shouldn’t be!
Zhang Wei finally understood the problem. But he did not know how to solve the problem.
So he only got angrier the longer he thought about it. He could not tell anyone else about this and could only deal with it by himself. He felt very uncomfortable, so he had to go to the bar to drink to drown his sorrows.
After he got a hangover, Zhang Wei woke up and found a young and beautiful woman lying beside him. Zhang Wei blinked and immediately understood what was going on. He was about to run away with his clothes in his arms, for fear of being blackmailed.
But just as he was lifting the quilt, Zhang Wei noticed the dazzling red on the sheets. He was stunned, and then he reached out to hug her from behind.
Zhang Wei knew that he could never leave.
Qi Ya didn’t realize Zhang Wei’s change. Her new batch of goods sold very well and the demand exceeded the supply. Qi Ya happily collected the money while she was busy restocking. She didn’t see Zhang Wei anymore.
In W city, Li Su successfully handled Zhang Yao’s primary school enrollment procedures. The school was not far from the community. It was about a ten minute walk away. Li Su dropped off and picked up Zhang Yao every day. A week later, Zhang Yao took the initiative and said to Li Su, “Mum, starting from Monday, you don’t have to pick me up. I can do it myself.”
“Is that so? There are so many cars on the road. I’m worried!” Although Li Su never asked her parents to pick her up when she went to school, the situation was now different. Every family had only one child. Picking up and dropping off the child seemed to have become the norm. And now, there were so many cars and so many bad guys.
Zhang Yao had a serious face. “Mum picks me up every day. It takes too much time to go back and forth. The community is not far from the kindergarten, so I don’t need to cross the road. Besides, I’m good at martial arts and I can protect myself.”
Li Su didn’t want to easily veto the reasonable demands of the child, especially when Zhang Yao managed to gain some self-confidence. Although she was still worried, she still said, “Okay, let’s try it tomorrow. If you feel scared, you can ask mother to pick you up. It doesn’t take too much time.”
Zhang Yao smiled. “Don’t worry, mum, I’ve grown up! Not only can I protect myself, but I can also protect you, mum!” Zhang Yao made an attacking pose to show off her taekwondo.
Li Su smiled helplessly. How long had Zhang Yao been learning taekwondo? It was all for show, but Zhang Yao didn’t have any practical skill! Who could she protect?
On Monday morning, Zhang Yao carried her schoolbag and thermos cup. “Mum, goodbye!”
Li Su stood at the door. “Goodbye Yao’er!” Then, she watched Zhang Yao enter the elevator. She quickly changed her shoes, took the keys and cell phone, quickly closed the door, and hurried down the stairs.
Li Su ran all the way. After going downstairs, Zhang Yao had already left. Li Su followed from a distance, hiding all the way. She watched Zhang Yao leave the community, walk along the inside of the sidewalk, and slowly walk towards the school. She didn’t sigh in relief until she saw Zhang Yao enter the school with her own eyes.
As a result, someone patted her on the shoulder from behind. Li Su was startled. When she looked back, it turned out to be Auntie Qian.
“I scared you!” Auntie Qian was still so cheerful.
“Auntie Qian, why are you here? Your Miaomiao isn’t of primary school age, right?” Li Su said, clutching her chest. Even in broad daylight, people could still scare people to death!
“My Miaomiao will only be six years old next year. I came to the vegetable market here to buy vegetables. The wombok in the vegetable market here only costs one dollar for two kilograms. I bought a few to bring back to my family since they love it. Do you want to buy any? I’ll take you there if you want!” Auntie Qian showed Li Su her goods enthusiastically.
Li Su really couldn’t understand the psychology of the aunties who could take several trains and walk a few more stops in order to save a few cents. She smiled awkwardly. “No need. Thank you, Auntie Qian. I don’t have many people in my family, so we can’t eat that much.”
“What were you doing just now? Does your daughter go to school here? This school is pretty good. It’s hard to buy a house in the school district. Does your family live near here? Is it a ** community?” Auntie Qian came over and asked.
Li Su couldn’t resist Auntie Qian’s enthusiasm, and smiled awkwardly. “By the way, Auntie Qian, there is a discount in the supermarket in front of you. The toilet paper is only twelve yuan per roll, and the paper is very cheap. Did you want to buy it?” She had to thank the rest of the owners group for sharing the latest news.
“Really? Which supermarket?” Auntie Qian asked immediately.
“It’s just the Ten Thousand Fortunes supermarket at the intersection. There are activities in the store and many things are discounted,” Li Su said.
“Okay, I’ll go right away. Thank you, Little Su.” Auntie Qian held a bag of wombok in one hand, took out her cell phone from her pocket, called the sisters she knew well, and reported the latest discount news.
