Chapter 247 – My Daughter Will Not Sacrifice Everything For Her Younger Brother (part 19)

Fang Jie hated Zhang Wei very much, so didn’t have any good feelings towards Father Zhang. After the incident when Father Zhang showed up for the first time, he made such a request without even asking about her daughter. This request did not even consider Little An’s future. Fang Jie flew into a fit of rage and kicked Father Zhang and his grandson out.

Father Zhang was angry, saying that this was the house his son bought with his own money and that Fang Jie had no right to drive them out.

Fang Jie sneered a few times. “You said it was bought by your son with his money, but do you have any proof? The money was transferred from my daughter’s account, and my daughter’s name is written on the property certificate. The car is also my daughter’s. The name has nothing to do with Zhang Wei’s money! Don’t even think about it!”

Fang Jie couldn’t help it. Her daughter not only lost her child this time, but also lost her qualifications to be a mother forever. The doctors said that her uterus was severely damaged and she may not be able to become pregnant again in the future.

At this point, Fang Jie no longer cared about accusing her daughter, nor about having a conscience. She could only follow a mother’s instinct and plan more money for her daughter’s second half of her life.

Father Zhang was stunned. He didn’t have to think about it to ask, why did Zhang Wei do this? He was afraid that if he were to divorce Qi Ya in the future, these would count as joint property. He was a smart fool!

Father Zhang had no choice but to sacrifice his dignity. “No matter what, this is for the sake of Zhang Wei and Little An. Mother-in-law, you can’t not help!”

Fang Jie snorted coldly. “Don’t call me that. The matter with Zhang Wei and Little An is something you and I know very well. I didn’t teach my daughter well, so that is my fault. My daughter is shameless and was willing to stoop so low, but now, we have both been taught a lesson and have been punished. Little An lost her child and can no longer have children in the future. As for Zhang Wei, hey, he killed someone. If he did something wrong, then he should naturally be punished by the law.”

After saying that, she closed the door coldly.

Father Zhang had no choice but to take Bao’er to the hotel first. Then, he tried his best to raise money. He sold a few stocks, collected some money, and hired a lawyer for his son.

In the end, Zhang Wei was sentenced to ten years in prison.

When Father Zhang heard the court sentence, he almost fainted. But when he looked at his young grandson beside him, Father Zhang had no choice but to hold on.

Father Zhang thought that for future plans, he still had to go to Fang Jie to negotiate. He didn’t expect to get the house back now, but she at least had to give them a place to stay. If Fang Jie did not agree, he would kneel there.

But it was to no avail. It turned out that Fang Jie and her daughter had moved away. During the period when Father Zhang was running around for Zhang Wei, Fang Jie sold all the house and car for lower than the market price. The mother and daughter left with the money. Nobody knew where they went.

Father Zhang really had no choice. He took his grandson to W City again, but in the end it was in vain again.

Father Zhang was a little desperate. He didn’t know what to do. He thought about taking Bao’er to die with him, but when he stood on the roof and looked down, he felt dizzy and reluctant.

In the end, Father Zhang could only take Bao’er back to his hometown. He rented a small house, lived frugally, and waited for his son to come back from prison.

He didn’t expect for Qi Ya’s family to learn that he was back. They came to the door, crying and screaming, demanding compensation.

Father Zhang wanted to find Qi Ya’s family and discuss how to raise Bao’er together, but he didn’t know where Qi Ya’s family was or their contact information. Now, after seeing this family’s virtues, Father Zhang also despaired.

Father Zhang put his arms around his grandson and sat there with a blank face. “I have nothing left now, just this one grandson. He is your grandson. If you want him, take him!”

Qi Ya’s parents glanced at Bao’er with disgust. Who wanted a grandson? They would have to pay for him. They wanted money!

Qi Ya’s younger brother looked at the surroundings and it didn’t look like they were rich. “Where’s my older sister’s clothing store?”

“Qi Ya took out a mortgage loan at the bank, and the money from selling the clothing store paid off the loan. Speaking of which, I would like to ask you something. Qi Ya’s clothing store made a lot of money, so where did the money go?! Did she give it to you? That’s all my grandson’s money. Give it back!” Father Zhang said.

The Qi family got together to discuss things for a while. “Fine, give us ten thousand yuan. For my nephew’s sake, we won’t investigate my older sister’s death, and we won’t have contact with each other in the future!”

Ten thousand yuan? Father Zhang didn’t want to give a single cent. “You want money, but I don’t have any. There are two lives here if you want to take them.”

The Qi family had always been bullies and were afraid of those who were tough. Seeing that Father Zhang’s attitude was so firm, they didn’t dare to make trouble. They finally left in a daze.

After the Qi family left, Father Zhang was afraid that the Qi family would make trouble again. In addition, the price of goods in his hometown was high, so he had to take his grandson to Q City and rent a house near the prison where Zhang Wei was serving his sentence.

Li Su was a little speechless after hearing about this from a former colleague. This was probably self-inflicted justice! However, she didn’t care about what happened to the Zhang family.

But on Zhang Yao’s side, Li Su thought about it over and over again. She decided not to tell Zhang Yao about the Zhang family for the time being. Although she had the right to know, but she was still young. Many of the things may not be acceptable. When she was older, then Li Su would tell her!

She ended up waiting for more than 10 years. After Zhang Yao finished the college entrance examination, she acted like a spoiled child to Li Su and said that she wanted to travel to Tibet with a few friends. She feared that Li Su would not agree.

Of course Li Su wouldn’t agree. She had never liked this type of thing very much. It was hyped up on the internet, as if a trip to Tibet could purify the soul. How could such a thing be? Besides, they were a few young kids who refused to sign up for the tour group and went there by themselves. What if they encountered any danger?

In order to dispel Zhang Yao’s thoughts, Li Su simply told Zhang Yao about the Zhang family. “The thing is… There is this matter. Your father was originally sentenced to ten years in prison and should have been released long ago, but he was not honest in prison. He fought with people, severely injured them, and was sentenced to two more years. I don’t know when he will be released from prison. I have not inquired about your grandfather and that child, but your grandfather’s monthly pension is quite large, which should be enough for them to live.”

Zhang Yao was a little speechless. She didn’t know that so many things had happened in the Zhang family. She was in a worry-free family.

Zhang Yao stopped talking about going on a trip and sat on the sofa. After thinking about it for a long time, she said, “Mum, I want to see.”

Li Su nodded and readily agreed. “Okay, I’ve saved all your scholarship money for the past few years and collected some money. There is a total of fifty thousand yuan, which was originally a fund for your graduation trip. Bring it with you in case you need it.”

Zhang Yao shook her head and waved her hand. “I don’t want it. I’m just going to have a look. It’s not for charity, so why bring so much money? What if it gets stolen?! Besides, who said I wouldn’t travel. I just won’t go with my classmates, Mum, let’s go together and travel to Europe, okay?”

Li Su smiled. “Don’t you think it’s too restrictive to travel with your mother? You want to go with your mother again?”

“That’s not true. When did I say that? Is it okay, mum?” Zhang Yao said coquettishly as she hugged Li Su.

Li Su glanced at her. She just happened to be finishing her story in the next few days. It was better to go out to relax, then come back to start a new story. “Okay, let’s go. When you come back, we’ll go!”

“Thank you, mum!” Zhang Yao laughed.

The next day, Zhang Yao was ready to go back to her hometown. When she was about to leave, Li Su warned her,  “The wallet and documents should be separated. You need to keep your cell phone. If there are any problems, call the police as soon as possible, and then call your mother. Also, remember what your mother said.”

“I know that in the event of danger, I can give up everything. Nothing is as important as a person!” Zhang Yao said with a smile. Since childhood, her mother had taught her this and she had always remembered it. In junior high school, when she was robbed on the way from school, she threw the bag to the other party without saying a word. The other party took the bag and ran away. When she got home, her mother praised her and said she did the right thing.

A few days later, Zhang Yao heard that there was a sports student in their school who also encountered a robbery. Relying on her youth and strength, she resisted, but she was stabbed by the other party. She happened to be stabbed in a vital point and died.

At that time, Zhang Yao was afraid for a while.

“Just remember. Mum transferred three thousand yuan to your bank card. If it’s not enough, just tell mum!” Li Su urged.

Zhang Yao nodded. “I know, mum. You should pay attention when you are at home alone. I will often video call you.”

Just as the elevator door opened, Zhang Yao hurried in. Walking out of the unit door, Zhang Yao looked back and saw that her mother was standing on the balcony and looking for her.

Zhang Yao jumped, waved vigorously, and shouted, “Mum! Goodbye!”

Her mum also waved at her.

Zhang Yao walked a long way. When she looked back, her mother was still there, just like every day before.

Zhang Yao smiled. She knew that no matter how far she went, when she turned back, her mother would stand behind her and watch her. This gave her the confidence to move forward bravely. This also gave her the courage to face the past.

Zhang Yao went back to her hometown. Although she knew that none of them were there, she still wanted to go back and have a look. She wanted to look at the ‘home’ where she once lived for six years.

But when Zhang Yao arrived, she realised that it was no longer what she remembered.

Zhang Yao stood there, sighed, and turned away without a trace of reluctance.

After that, she went to Q City. She didn’t know Father Zhang’s address. She only knew that it was near the prison where Zhang Wei was serving his sentence. It was just that, after so many years, she didn’t know if they had moved.

Zhang Yao took a taxi to the prison. She was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should go to the prison to visit that person and if she should call him father.

Zhang Yao subconsciously wanted to take out her cell phone to ask her mother’s opinion, but after hesitating for a long time, she gave up. Her mother was different from her. She and the Zhang family were still bound by blood, but her mother was not. She shouldn’t let the Zhang family’s affairs bother her mother anymore.

Zhang Yao lingered at the gate of the prison for a long time until the guard came to ask her what she was here for.

Zhang Yao finally made a decision. “I want to visit someone.”
