Chapter 61: Regret
The crisp sound of the dishes hitting the ground woke up the startled Aunt Wei, but at this moment she couldn't care about cleaning up the mess on the ground. Grabbing Wei Lai's arm, Aunt Wei asked with a face full of disbelief: "Ah Lai, you just ...... Say what?! β
Aunt Wei's reaction was not unexpected by Wei Lai, and it was even much better than she imagined, at least she could calmly ask her to continue. So Wei Lai pursed his lips slightly, and continued to explain: "He Zhi is the daughter of Shangshu Mansion, and the two of us made a marriage by mistake when we were in the capital. At the time, she didn't know who I was. β
If you want to talk about knowledge and knowledge, Aunt Wei, who has been in this town all her life, let alone He Zhi, is not much worse than Wei Lailai. But people are old and have experienced a lot of things, and that experience is not comparable to young people, so even if her heart is not calm, Aunt Wei still suddenly grasped the key point in Wei Lai's words: "I didn't know then, so does she know your identity now?" β
Wei Lai's identity is a secret, although it is not an earth-shattering matter, but for their mother and son, it is a matter of their lives. Aunt Wei taught her to protect this secret since she was a child, and she has always done a good job, but in the end, it was she who told He Zhi the secret herself, and she also entrusted her own and her mother's lives to He Zhi.
It's always wrong to deceive people, but the truth is about the lives of two people. Wei Lai can entrust his life, but he is not qualified to ask his mother to accompany him on the adventure. So at this moment, facing Aunt Wei, Wei Lai was weak and guilty: "Mother, she insisted on going back to her hometown with me, so when I was in Qizhou Mansion the day before yesterday, I told her everything." β
Wei Lai thought that Aunt Wei would be angry and panicked, but in fact, the old man with a face full of vicissitudes just let out a long sigh, and then waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you can't hide it after all, it's okay to say it." Otherwise, you will harm other girls for the rest of your life. β
Hearing this, Wei Lai first breathed a long sigh of relief, but then a trace of melancholy rose in his heart.
She knows that she likes He Zhi, and it is no longer the kind of love between friends, but whether this relationship can be responded to and not to mention it will at least not be expected to be recognized. Just like her mother, she only felt that she was so burdensome to He Zhi, but she never thought that the two of them really had any emotional entanglements, and they might be together in the future.
In front of him was a close relative connected to his blood, and he was also the closest and trusted person in his life, Wei Lai's heart was suddenly a little fragile. It's a pity that there are some things that can't be said yet, so she can only ask: "Mother, do you say that Miss He will forgive me?" β
are all married, but on the way home with their fiancΓ©s, they suddenly learned that their fiancΓ©s are women, and this matter is probably not so easy for anyone to accept. According to the normal development of the situation, I am afraid that the two will immediately turn against each other, and it is normal for the fiancΓ©e to retaliate by all means.
However, there seem to be some exceptions between He Zhi and Wei Lai, even Aunt Wei, who knew the whole story when they first met, also saw it. Because although He Zhi's attitude was a little cold, there was no resentment in her eyes. And it's been two days, and she, the eldest lady of Shangshu Mansion, has not left in a bad mood, has not retaliated, and even she continues to follow Wei Lai back!
Aunt Wei didn't think that He Zhi followed Wei Lai home at this time in order to find the way and find a place, and then it was convenient to take revenge on their whole family. So in her mind, there is only one reason for He Zhi's attitude now - this girl is kind-hearted, and she has already had some friendship with Ah Lai before, so she shouldn't be too much of a person when she is soft-hearted.
Seeing that Wei Lai was a little panicked, Aunt Wei thought so, so she also said so, which was slightly appeased. And these Wei Lai naturally thought of it, but she was a little unconfident after all, so she also wanted to hear an affirmation from other people.
Now that he heard the same answer from his mother's mouth, Wei Lai was really relieved. It seems that she is not self-inflicted, and there is indeed a turn for the better.
Seeing that Wei Lai was obviously relaxed after hearing his words, Aunt Wei didn't want to ask anything more. It's almost past lunchtime, and it would be rude not to let the guests continue to wait hungry for their mother and son to gossip. What's more, this guest is not an ordinary person, it is really their Wei family who owes each other.
Therefore, it is better to be kind to Miss He these days, even if it is to compensate and make amends for Ah Lai.
*****************************************************************
Aunt Wei thought about treating He Zhi better, and sure enough, she treated her very well. From food, clothing, housing and transportation to little things, he took care of He Zhi as much as possible in all aspects, even if the conditions in this town were limited, he tried not to wronged her. With such an attitude, I don't know why Zhi is her own daughter who has been away from home for many years, and Wei Lai is an outsider.
At the beginning, Aunt Wei did this out of the psychology of compensation and reparation, but later she really liked He Zhi. As Miss Shangshu, she does not have the arrogance of the daughter of an ordinary rich family, and her words and deeds are more than generous, even if the Wei family is sorry for her in front of her, she is still respectful and polite when facing her elders, and she can't see half of her resentment and perfunctory.
How can a woman with such a good temperament not please her elders?
On the other side, He Zhi was melancholy when she faced Aunt Wei. Before following Wei Lai back to her hometown, she had always had the idea of "pleasing her mother-in-law" in advance. It's a pity that the world is unpredictable, Wei Lai's mother is indeed easy to get along with, even if she has never deliberately pleased, the relationship between the two of them is also very good these days, but who knows that her fiancΓ© has a problem......
Now in such a situation, He Zhi can somewhat guess Aunt Wei's psychology. But Rao is like this, and her heart is inevitably a little moved. Because she could see that Aunt Wei was not afraid of her revenge, she just wanted to make amends at first, and later she really liked and loved her. This feeling is very pure, and people can't refuse or get angry, so they can only accept and reciprocate silently.
has been with Aunt Wei for a long time, and sometimes He Zhi even thinks that if Wei Lai is really a man, then it may be a great fortune in her life to have such a mother-in-law who is easy to get along with, right?
But alas, if only if.
Two days after Wei arrived home, he said goodbye to his mother, and set up a few tables for a banquet in the only inn in the town, and invited the neighbors who had helped take care of Aunt Wei over the years, and the life of the Wei family soon returned to peace.
After returning home, Wei Lai no longer practiced martial arts in the morning, but helped her mother grind and make tofu in the yard early in the morning. Aunt Wei's tofu stall was not opened after Wei Lai left, so she has been used to doing this since she was a child. When she first arrived at the barracks, her strength and endurance, which were no worse than those of men, were pushed out since childhood.
The mother and daughter naturally returned to the pattern of seven years ago, especially Aunt Wei is not in good health now, and Wei Lai doesn't let her do more. Heavy nature is not allowed to touch, only make some lightweight.
"Ah Zhi is a good boy, but it's a pity that I was dragged down by you." Aunt Wei held a pot of soybeans, sprinkled a handful into the small holes on the stone mill from time to time, and said to Wei Lai when she had nothing to do: "By the way, what are you going to do in the future?" What did Zhi say? β
Wei Lai's hand paused, but the force of inertia continued to move with her hand, and her pause at this moment was not noticed by Aunt Wei. Wei Lai didn't hear what her mother said again, she only pushed the heavy stone mill twice before she lowered her head and replied sullenly: "Jin Rui said that after returning to Beijing, we will dissolve the marriage contract." β
"Dissolution of the marriage? Yes, fortunately you haven't married yet, otherwise you would have really ruined the girl's life. Aunt Wei said that she was lucky, but there was a faint trace of regret on her face. Kneel and beg to return to the field
