Chapter 296: Wake up
If they still go to Zhao Jingli to ask for warmth, not only will it hurt the hearts of the biological daughter who has just been recognized and the son who has just been established as the son, but it will also make Zhao Jingli have delusions in his heart, feeling that his father and mother are still the same father and mother, and he can still rely on them for anything, which is not conducive to Zhao Jingli's growth.
He was a former prince and had been learning how to sustain a lord's house. Now that he has become the eldest son of the second room and is almost an adult, it is his duty to take on all the burdens of the second room.
He should stand up, control his unreliable father, save money on the family's expenses, take care of his hard-hit younger brother, and arrange all the aftermath of his mother's death. The Wei family is not likable, but only Zhao Jingli and Zhao Jingan are not qualified to dislike her as a mother-in-law.
Although Zhao Ruxi was very busy going out early and returning late and had no time to take care of the second and third rooms, she still knew Zhu's expectations from Zhu's words.
But Zhao Jingli's performance during this time was disappointing to them.
He didn't care about anything other than taking care of Zhao Jing'an, only immersed in his own pain. He couldn't say a few words all day long, and he was silent and decadent. After following Zhao Yuanliang to deal with Wei's death, he also learned to borrow wine to drown his sorrows.
Seeing that Zhu was uncomfortable when he mentioned him, Zhao Ruxi wanted to find an opportunity to wake up Zhao Jingli. But when she heard what he said just now, she didn't want to say a word again.
You'll never wake up someone who is pretending to be asleep!
If Zhao Jingli felt that she had robbed him of everything, and felt that Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu's feelings for him were fake, then every word she said would be regarded as showing off and ill intentions by him. In that case, why did she need to bother to speak?
Zhao Jingli came over to stop Zhao Ruxi's carriage today while he was drinking, wanting to ask her for something. But when he was excited, he vented the resentment in his heart.
Seeing that she was leaving, he suddenly became anxious, and shouted at Zhao Ruxi's back: "I know you look down on me, I know I'm incompetent, and I want to change, but I really don't understand anything, woo woo woo ......"
As he spoke, he sat down on the ground, covered his face and began to cry again.
Ma Sheng grew up watching Zhao Jingli, and had taught him a few kung fu tricks before.
Looking at him like this at this time, he couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but look at Zhao Ruxi and called: "Girl......" There was pleading in his eyes.
He has been with Zhao Ruxi for so long, and he knows that his girl is extremely capable, even more capable than his uncle. If she can stretch out a hand to Zhao Jingli, Zhao Jingli will not be decadent and ruin herself.
Zhao Ruxi stopped, sighed, walked over and said coldly to Zhao Jingli: "Do you really think that I robbed you of everything?" ā
Zhao Jingli probably felt that he was embarrassed, and most of the wine had woken up, and his crying had been lowered, leaving only some sobbing.
He shook his head and whispered, "Yes...... I'm sorry, IāI shouldn't have said that. If it weren't for Wei's, you wouldn't have to live a hard life in the countryside for more than ten years. For fourteen years, I stole from you. I'm sorry. ā
"Did you pay it back?" Zhao Ruxi asked.
"Huh?" Zhao Jingli raised his head in amazement, "Still, what?" ā
"Didn't you say steal me? If you steal it, you know it's wrong, so you can return it. ā
"How, how?" Zhao Jingli's eyes widened.
He is actually an honest child, and he also has the ability to distinguish between right and wrong.
Some people are hit and will have a very violent reaction at that time, such as fainting, or a serious illness, just like Zhao Jing'an. But after that time, it was fine.
Some people look fine, but they can't accept the reality at all. So he slowly sank, and his personality became silent and depressed.
Zhao Jingli is the latter. Some time ago, he looked at nothing and silently accepted the facts, but in fact he didn't accept the blow at all.
In addition, the family was divided and the second room was in chaos, and she was disturbed by several aunts all day long, Zhao Jing'an was here to remember her mother and be sick all day long, and Wei was executed and beheaded, and she was buried and buried...... The occurrence of this series of events made Zhao Jingli have no time to digest his emotions at all.
With Zhao Yuanxun and Zhu as a comparison, he can't accept Zhao Yuanliang, a confused, incompetent, and completely irresponsible father, nor can he accept his mother who seems to love him deeply and hopes that he can inherit the family property, but has lost her morals.
After Zhao Jing'an's high fever subsided and finally survived, he indulged himself and saw that the book said that he could "borrow wine to drown his sorrows", so he wanted to give it a try.
But when he was drinking, he listened to the maid at home talking, saying how capable Zhao Ruxi was, worshipping Mr. Deadwood as a teacher, and was ordered by the emperor to ask her to teach painting to Dali Temple and the officials below, and he immediately rushed out to wait for Zhao Ruxi on the side of the road.
At this moment, his wine was gone, his mind was clear, and remorse welled up in his heart.
"My father and mother were originally my father and mother, and you stole them for fourteen years. In the past 14 years, they have raised you carefully, but your own daughter was thrown in the country, don't you owe them? Then now you should take out the skills you have learned over the years and take care of the second room. As long as you take care of the second room and don't let my father and mother worry about you anymore, it will be a return to their kindness, and it will not be in vain for so many years of their teaching to you. Can you do it? ā
Zhao Jingli was silent and did not speak, and when Zhao Ruxi was about to provoke him, he nodded: "Yes." ā
The word, which he said loudly, was clearly the result of careful consideration.
Zhao Ruxi was satisfied when he saw him like this.
After all, the person in front of him is just a fourteen-year-old child, and because he has not experienced hardship, he is not sensible. Suddenly encountering an accident, it is understandable that the mood is occasionally a little extreme.
She was worried that she wouldn't be reminded in place, and he couldn't grasp the point, so she simply squatted in front of him and said in a low voice: "Don't let your father daydream all day long, don't let him become a pawn in the hands of your third uncle, and the disaster will affect the whole family; persuade Jing'an to take care of the house with you, and also manage the ambitious Zhao Ruyu and Zhao Rurui, who is picking right and wrong; In addition, deal with the blind aunts in the house and send one or two to Zhuangzi, so that the house will be much quieter and less expensive. ā
"When the affairs of the house are taken care of, you should go and see your shop. This is the support of your family's life, and there is no room for error. Those bad shopkeepers and guys arranged by the Wei family should be kicked out. Let the business of the shop prosper, and at least your life will not be too difficult. ā
Wu Zong told her that the two dowry shops of the Wei family did not belong to the Wei family's property, but belonged to the Zhao family, so they could be accommodating. Zhao Yuanliang spent money to dot around, and Dali Temple returned the shop to him.
