Chapter 105: His Heart is Fully Hurt_1
“Little Zhuzi, be good, let your mother rest for a bit.” Mother Yun coaxed Zhang Yunxuan softly, asking him not to disturb his sister.
The young Zhang Yunxuan closed his mouth, his wide eyes fixed on Yun Men. He seemed relieved now that his mother was resting.
Zhang Jiang returned home and immediately began preparing a medicinal concoction.
Once the medicine was prepared, he brought it to the room.
“Wife, take the medicine.” Zhang Jiang did not even glance at his mother, but walked straight towards Yun Men.
“Let me feed her.” Mother Yun took the bowl from him, spooning small sips to Yun Men.
“Zhang Jiang, come with me.” Father Yun, seeing his daughter taking her medicine, was somewhat relieved. He beckoned his son-in-law to join him outside to discuss how to handle this situation.
Zhang Jiang followed his father-in-law out of the room.
From beginning to end, he never cast a glance at his mother. This incident truly broke his heart.
Seeing her son’s constant indifference, Mother Zhang felt a sour pang in her heart.
“Zhang Jiang, you should be fully aware of the situation, right?” Father Yun had noticed his son-in-law’s avoidance of his mother, and inferred that he probably understood the circumstances already.
Zhang Jiang didn’t know what to say.
“I heard from Little Zhuzi that it was your elder brother’s child who pushed Xiaomen.”
Zhang Jiang remained silent.
Father Yun continued, “I also heard from Little Zhuzi that Xiaomen was bullied by your brother’s child over food, and your mother did not let Little Zhuzi tell you?”
“When your elder and second brother tried to confront your elder brother about this, your mother stopped them. Now, you have to decide how to handle this situation with Xiaomen. If you don’t address this issue, I have no choice but to take Little Zhuzi and Xiaomen back with me.” Father Yun laid out his analysis, thoughts and plans.
If this indeed was the case, he would have to take his daughter and grandson back with him.
Zhang Jiang bit his lower lip and didn’t respond, but his eyes were red.
He never expected that his mother, upon seeing her son bullied by her nephew, would ask her son not to tell them. This was clear favoritism.
But why did she choose to live with them in the first place?
“Dad, let me think it over.” Zhang Jiang finally spoke.
“Little Zhuzi’s grandmother questions whether you are truly their biological child. If you were, then why did she allow her eldest grandson to bully her younger grandson and then tell the younger one not to mention about being beaten to any of you?” Father Yun pointed out an aspect that particularly troubled Zhang Jiang.
All fathers would feel upset if their child were bullied by someone else.
“Usually in the village, the elder son is responsible for taking care of the elderly.” Father Yun knew Zhang Jiang was in turmoil, and he wanted to guide him through this situation.
This issue could not simply be brushed aside.
This mother-in-law should live with her eldest son. As a mother-in-law, she is not fit to care for his daughter.
When she clearly lived in his home and yet she showed favoritism towards another grandson, it was extremely unfair.
“Dad, I know what I have to do.” Zhang Jiang took a deep breath.
“Little Jiang, it’s a good thing your third brother didn’t come back.” Father Yun added in an indifferent tone.
Zhang Jiang knew that although his third brother always seemed aloof and cold, he was tough. When he was young and someone tried to take forceful possession of his possession, he ended up beating them ruthlessly. Even though he wasn’t in a good place himself afterward, from that day on, no one dared to mess with him. The age difference between them wasn’t much, so Zhang Jiang was very clear about what transpired.
