“The Zhai family isn’t aware of this matter. If they did, Zhai Hua wouldn’t have married your father. Until now, the Zhai family still doesn’t know about this.”

Although Wei Xiaomei didn’t want to say it, the meaning she expressed was very clear. Compared to her, the Zhai family was considered a victim too. The Zhai family didn’t have to use power to snatch Wei De away as a son-in-law. Wei De wasn’t that outstanding, and the Zhai family wasn’t willing to do such immoral things.

Everything was based on Wei De’s deception to the Zhai family. If the Zhai family knew that Wei De had a wife and a child, they would naturally ask him to get lost as far as possible.

“I saw your recent performance, and I know you have already understood how helpful having an aunt like Zhai Hua would be. If your father didn’t marry Zhai Hua, the Wei family wouldn’t have today and your father couldn’t possibly become a company commander. All of these were the Zhai family’s and Zhai Hua’s blessings. Do you understand?” action

The purpose and significance of Wei De marrying Zhai Hua lay in this.

“Mom, do you mean that the Zhai family is a victim as well and the party who has done wrong is our family? If you really think that way, why didn’t you tell the Zhai family the truth and snatch your husband back?” As long as his mom said it, the Zhai family would definitely make his aunt leave his dad. Even if the Zhai family didn’t talk about it, based on his aunt’s temper, she might not be able to tolerate this matter anyway.

Wei Xiaomei clenched her fists. “Why? Why would I do that?” Toward the end, Wei Xiaomei’s eyes turned red and her tone was full of resentment. “Heaven has never been fair to me and treated me kindly. I finally resigned to fate and wanted to lead a life with your father. However, heaven arranged for him to meet Zhai Hua, and both of them even became a couple. Since heaven never wants me to lead a good life, on what basis should I be a good person and tell the Zhai family everything? You should still have an impression of your childhood, right? The Wei family’s conditions weren’t good. If the Zhai family knew about your father’s relationship with me, what meaning is there to snatch him back?”

Wei Wei became silent. Even though he couldn’t remember it clearly, he more or less had some impression. The house in the countryside was in tatters. As they reared chickens, the muddy yard was always full of chicken shit.

When Wei Wei was young, his living environment had always been like this, so he didn’t feel that anything was amiss. However, it was different now. Wei Wei lived in a high-rise building. His house was full of clean floor tiles and wooden boards, and the walls were white-washed. Upon recalling the living conditions in the countryside, Wei Wei shuddered, signaling that he couldn’t accept it.

“If this matter is exposed, your father would no longer be a soldier and could only return to the countryside to farm. If I keep your father, my husband, I won’t be able to live in a big house and lead a good life. Most importantly, it doesn’t matter how much I’ve suffered, but Xiao Wei, you can’t. I can’t bear for you to suffer so much. Mom hopes that you can enjoy all the blessings I’ve never managed to enjoy. Even if Zhai Hua changes in the future, compared to the past, I feel that everything I did is worthwhile.”

Indeed, her son had led a different life from her. For her son, everything was worth it.

“The Zhai family didn’t figure out what kind of person your father is and was conned by him. That has nothing to do with me. I was brought up by the Wei family. I can’t betray the Wei family. I was stupid to be cheated by the Wei family and your father. I can’t put the blame on others. Xiao Wei, you must remember that we aren’t villains. However, we are not obliged to become extremely good people too. All these years, we have never suffered. As such, what we are enjoying now is what we deserve. Do you understand?”

There were gains only if there were sacrifices. She and her son had sacrificed and were wronged for over ten years. The life that they were leading now was what they deserved. She enjoyed it with peace of mind.

Wei Xiaomei might not have been highly educated, but she was used to the hard days since she was young. Some of her thoughts were still quite mature. She knew that the Zhai family couldn’t be blamed for this, and all of these happened due to Wei De’s greed and Mother Wei’s instigation. As such, the mother-and-son pair and the Zhai family were cheated and hurt. Wei De and his mother really did a good job at deceiving everyone.

Even if everyone were victims, Wei Xiaomei didn’t feel that she was obliged to fight alongside the Zhai family to get everything back. Wei De wasn’t reliable as a husband. Instead, the benefits the Zhai family brought to Wei De were more reliable, rewarding all her sufferings.

After confirming this, Wei Xiaomei had never said a word for so many years as she tolerated her son’s hostile look of hatred. Even after Wei De had fetched Wei Wei over to Ping Cheng and left her alone in the countryside, Wei Xiaomei had gritted her teeth and endured everything.

“Mom...” Wei Xiaomei’s words sounded normal, and there weren’t any words that were hard to understand. However, it was still a bit difficult for Wei Wei to understand the meaning of these words. “Mom?”

“You’re still young, and the knowledge you’ve gained is from the textbooks. It’s inevitable that your thoughts are simpler and you think that everything is either black or white. However, it’s fine. You will understand in the future. Remember Mom’s words. Don’t hate the Zhai family and don’t pick on Jiajia. However, you don’t have to feel guilty toward the Zhai family as well. You lost a ‘father’ to enjoy everything today. The Zhai family didn’t give you this for free. However, don’t be so stupid like your grandma to scheme against others and even say that they are useless.”

It was rare for her to have this opportunity. Wei Xiaomei shared all her ways of doing things with her son.

Wei Xiaomei said these words pretty coldly. Undeniably, her mentality was indeed the best for her and Wei Wei’s life. If she guarded Wei De, she could only farm in the countryside. If she silently agreed to Wei De marrying Zhai Hua, she only had to tolerate hardship for a few more years. Look. Wasn’t she living in a big house and wearing new clothes now? Her son was in high school as well.

She had already suffered for more than twenty years. How couldn’t she tolerate the remaining few years? She had suffered for thirty years in total. However, thanks to the Zhai family, she managed to regain a good life for ten years.

Wei Xiaomei, who knew how to be calculative, knew that she had benefited regardless.

Wei Wei plucked a few strands of hair from his head. “Mom, let me take a break. I’m feeling confused. How should I think about this matter?” Indeed, Wei Wei was confused by what the textbooks had taught him about this world. He never knew that his mom had operated in this manner.

He faintly felt that his mom was right. However, he felt extremely uncomfortable in his heart. A lot of thoughts were contradictory now.
