Chapter 379: Chapter 379
Because Feifei and her parents were staying over, Jiang Xinyu refused Wei Kaiyun. This was simply life-threatening, with Wei Kaiyun sporting a face like a resentful wife, his forlorn expression making Jiang Xinyu want to smack him.
In the middle of the night, Wei Kaiyun couldn't stand it anymore, so he picked up his sleeping wife and took her to the bathroom.
The next day, Jiang Xinyu had a long face, and Wei Kaiyun acted all humble.
They're leaving tomorrow, so today they want to visit the suburbs. They had already arranged it with Han Xiangjun yesterday, and he left his bicycle.
Breakfast was buns and millet porridge. Five people set off.
Wei Kaiyun specially tied a blanket to the back seat of the bicycle, afraid that his wife would be uncomfortable sitting there. As for the two boys, well, they had to deal with it.
It took them an hour and a half to arrive. It had been six or seven years since they last visited. Jiang Xinyu felt she really made a mistake, buying so many houses left unattended, causing worry.
The yard was overgrown with weeds, looking particularly desolate.
"I'll talk to Mr. Han later; it would be great if this house could be rented out. Having someone live here should help a lot."
"Alright, I'll tell him when we get back."
Standing there, Jiang Xinyu really had no desire to tidy up, even considering selling the house.
"Don't rush. I'll go out and find someone to help. Let's go eat, and we'll have it sorted out by this afternoon."
"I'm worried about anyone having ill intentions."
"No worries, I have my ways."
Jiang Xinyu watched the three children, making sure they didn't go into the weeds, afraid there might be snakes, bugs, or rats.
In less than ten minutes, Wei Kaiyun returned with five middle-aged women.
Jiang Xinyu greeted them with a smile, instructing them to clean the house thoroughly and also tidy the yard.
After giving instructions, the five of them rode bicycles to go eat.
This was the place Han Xiangjun had brought them to last time. They initially were not accepted, but mentioning Han Xiangjun got them lunch.
The kids were very satisfied with the food, even though it was made from simple ingredients, the locals could still make delicious meals.
After eating, they were in no hurry to leave, exchanged some pleasantries, and let the three kids lie down to rest.
At half-past one, five of them rode home. The place was already tidied up, making Jiang Xinyu feel much better.
Wei Kaiyun escorted them out and gave them each a dollar. There were no leaks in the roof, but Jiang Xinyu was still worried. Later, she'll have the construction team come and replace all the tiles on the roof for peace of mind.
The doors and windows were open, feeling quite cool, but there was nowhere to lie down. They couldn't leave now, mainly because the sun was too strong outside, fearing it would damage the children's skin.
Wei Kaiyun knocked on the neighbor's door and borrowed two planks to lay on the ground, fortunately bringing a blanket this time, so the three kids could take a nap.
The couple sat beside, worried something might scare the children.
"Wife, I won't be able to stay when we go back tomorrow."
"It's okay, I understand." She really does understand him; he's had a tough path. A child from a remote village without a mother and an unknown father has defied all odds to be here today.
He really had it rough, always affected by any shifts above.
"Wife, if I hadn't grasped you, I'd probably still be alone now. Thank you, thank you for sticking by me. Thank you for giving me two wonderful children."
Jiang Xinyu rarely saw Wei Kaiyun being so sentimental. She smiled and said, "As long as you treat me well and keep us in your heart, we will never leave you."
"I, Wei Kaiyun, swear I'll never let you down."
"Alright, I know. I believe you."
"Wife, when you go back, you need to be careful. I reckon the two kids will stir a lot of rumors. I'm really sorry to put you in a tough spot."
"I've already prepared myself mentally; it's okay." Jiang Xinyu indeed anticipated the gossip she'd face upon returning.
Wei Kaiyun felt a dull ache in his heart, utterly overcome with frustration.
"Don't worry, I still have Master Shang by my side; it's okay."
It's not the same; no matter how many people are around them, they can't replace him.
Wei Kaiyun felt very guilty about not being able to accompany his children's growth.
The main thing is his young wife has to act as both mom and dad. His own mother must have persisted due to his father's disappearance, right?
Is he really destined to be alone?
Seeing Wei Kaiyun down, Jiang Xinyu quickly changed the subject, "I saw Kong Demin's report; it was indeed impressive."
"He's also a dangerous character. If he ever poses a threat to you, inform our people to report him, and I'll make sure he can't rebound."
"Right now, he's practically running the show in the county."
"He's not unbeatable. Don't worry; I have everything arranged. I initially thought about suppressing him now, but bringing in someone unfamiliar could be troublesome, so I'm keeping him for now.
Wife, I'll entrust those few people over there to you. Give them direct orders for anything that arises."
"Okay, it's good to have help amidst all this chaos.
But how can Kong Mengjie be so steady now?" Google seaʀᴄh 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⚫𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⚫𝘯𝘦𝘵
"That's because the fact that the boy isn't Huang Hongwei's hasn't been uncovered yet."
"I hope it doesn't come out; that way, she can stay peaceful.
You say, why is their family so chaotic? None of them is normal, not even Kong Derong outside, and even the youngest Kong Dehong got harmed by them."
"It's simply greed and selfishness."
Jiang Xinyu nodded; that's really how it was. If they weren't greedy and lived honestly, they wouldn't have had so many troubles.
She thought of her friends who would arrive home in three days and planned to invite them for a meal. Four years have passed; who knows how everything has changed?
"Wife, I'll drive over in late October to transport everything to you."
"Alright, I've already hidden things here. You can trust me with hiding things; if you have any secret items, you can give them to me."
"Yes. I'll send everything to you, to save for our daughter as dowry."
"You're thinking quite ahead."
"You need to prepare early."
"Are you really ready to see your daughter get married?"
Imagining that scenario, Wei Kaiyun immediately became unsettled, "Wife, Feifei must not marry until she's twenty-five."
"What's gotten into you? If she doesn't marry by then, you'll be the one worrying. Just let things happen naturally."
"Wife, you have to keep an eye out, can't let other boys trick our daughter away."
Jiang Xinyu genuinely didn't want to discuss this anymore. He's purely worrying unnecessarily, scaring himself. He talked about something that hasn't happened, making himself believe it.
