Chapter 3034
Just at this moment, Zhao Da, who was sleeping in the bedroom, heard the movement in the living room. He lay on the bed and listened carefully for a while before he realized that it was Zhao Desan who had come, and that he had bought a lot of snacks for Nini. Thinking of everything Zhao Desan had done for his family, even though in some ways he had given him a green hat, Zhao Da not only didn't hate him at all but was very grateful to him. Because he knew that his wife, Zheng Jie, was at the age where a woman was like a wolf or a tiger, and with his physical condition, he couldn't satisfy her at all. It was already a blessing that his wife hadn't abandoned this broken home and left. In these aspects, Zhao Da knew he couldn't ask for anything more from her, and it was even more impossible to ask her to remain chaste for life when her husband had lost his ability as a man. Zheng Jie was also a normal woman with seven emotions and six desires; she couldn't remain a widow for life for a useless person like him. Zhao Da had completely figured it out. He even thought about trying to match Zheng Jie and Zhao Desan, letting them get married. On one hand, it could make their secret relationship legitimate, and on the other hand, Zhao Desan could legitimately help their miserable family.
After hearing clearly that the person who came was Zhao Desan, Zhao Da coughed "cough, cough" in the bedroom consciously and then said to the outside: "Nini, is there a guest at home?"
Hearing Zhao Da's voice, before Zhao Desan could get up from the sofa and walk over, Nini hugged the McDonald's family bucket, trotted over, pushed open the door, and said to her father Zhao Da with a grin: "Daddy, it's Uncle Liu. He even bought me a lot of good things."
While speaking, Zhao Desan walked into the room and greeted Zhao Da, who was lying on the bed: "Brother Zhao, you're awake."
"I just took a nap, haha." Zhao Da smiled embarrassedly and then said: "Didn't the studies at the Provincial Party School end? Comrade Xiao Zhao, you haven't returned to the district yet?"
Zhao Desan walked to the bed, sat down, and said: "They ended, but I'm still handling some things in the city and will go back in a couple of days."
"Oh..." Zhao Da nodded, seemingly understanding.
Zhao Desan saw that Zhao Da's complexion was ruddy and he looked quite good, so he said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, you look quite good. How is your health lately?"
"Quite good. It's all thanks to Zheng Jie's good care." Zhao Da chuckled. Speaking of Zheng Jie, his eyes were full of pride.
Zhao Desan chuckled and said: "I heard from Nini that Sister-in-law went out in the morning and hasn't come back yet?"
"Oh, yes. Shuanzhu came to the house in the morning. Not long after he left, Zheng Jie left, saying she was going to look for work." Zhao Da recalled what Zheng Jie told him when she went out in the morning, saying she was going to look for work.
"Look for work? What kind of work?" Zhao Desan asked with some confusion.
"She said there was a temporary job. The working hours are not long, and the pay is quite good. She wants to earn more money to subsidize the family. I didn't ask about the specifics," Zhao Da said.
"Oh..." Zhao Desan frowned and nodded thoughtfully.
"Daddy, Uncle bought good things, you eat too..." Nini hugged the McDonald's family bucket Zhao Desan bought, took a chicken wing from inside, and reached it to Zhao Da's mouth.
Zhao Da said: "Nini, you eat. Daddy isn't hungry." As he spoke, Zhao Da felt that some things were not very good to say in front of his daughter, so he gave Zhao Desan a wink and said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, can you push me downstairs to bask in the sun?"
Zhao Desan nodded and said: "Alright, the sun is quite good this afternoon." As he spoke, he got up, picked Zhao Da up from the bed, carefully placed him in the wheelchair, took a blanket from the side of the bed, and covered his legs. Then he said to Nini: "Nini, you stay at home alone for a while. I'll accompany Daddy for a walk, okay?"
Nini nodded obediently and said: "Okay."
And so, Zhao Desan pushed the wheelchair, pushed Zhao Da out of the house, and after a great deal of effort, got Zhao Da downstairs to the courtyard and pushed him for a walk. Zhao Da, who hadn't seen the sun for a long time, sat in the wheelchair, raised his head, squinted his eyes, looked at the warm sun hanging in the sky, and said with emotion: "The sun today is very good."
"The weather today is quite good," Zhao Desan nodded and said.
"Comrade Xiao Zhao, why haven't you come to the house lately? Did something happen between you and Zheng Jie?" Zhao Da suddenly turned his head to look at Zhao Desan and changed the subject.
"No... no..." Zhao Desan smiled awkwardly. Although he denied Zhao Da's guess, his expression had already betrayed him.
Zhao Da said: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, you and Zheng Jie have known each other for so long. She has that kind of personality. You are a man, you should be more proactive, you know?"
Zhao Desan smiled awkwardly and didn't speak. Facing the husband of a woman he liked saying these things to him made Zhao Desan feel very unnatural, and he didn't know what to say. Although Zhao Da didn't oppose Zheng Jie being with him at all and even actively pushed her into his arms, as a man, Zhao Desan always felt that such things made him feel embarrassed.
Seeing Zhao Desan not speaking, Zhao Da smiled nonchalantly, turned his head again, looked at him with that sneaky look, and asked: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, what about the matter I told you last time? How have you considered it?"
Zhao Desan didn't react for a moment and looked at Zhao Da with confusion: "What matter?"
"The matter of you and Zheng Jie getting married. You kid wouldn't have not considered it, right?" Zhao Da asked with a sly smile.
Damn it! Who pushes their own wife into someone else's arms! Seeing Zhao Da's sly smile, Zhao Desan despised him in his heart. At the same time, he felt very sympathetic to Zhao Da's encounter. He smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Zhao, I think there is no room for consideration in this matter, and I won't consider it."
Seeing Zhao Desan's attitude was very firm and he had rejected his 'kindness', Zhao Da said with some regret: "Comrade Xiao Zhao, since you like Zheng Jie and she likes you, isn't it very legitimate for you to be together? Why not consider it?"
Zhao Desan was speechless. Looking at Zhao Da's regretful expression, he really didn't know what Zhao Da felt when he said these things. Could this be the legendary 'strong spirit in a disabled body', with a psychological endurance higher than normal people? Zhao Desan couldn't imagine it. If Zhao Da were replaced by him, and he found out his wife had an affair with another man while he was paralyzed in bed and unable to do anything, he would rather die! But everyone's thoughts were different, and everyone's choice of lifestyle was different. He couldn't ask Zhao Da to keep his attitude toward life consistent with his own. Since he chose this way, he had his own thoughts. Perhaps he wasn't doing it for himself, but for his young daughter to grow up healthily, and he was forced to have such thoughts. Zhao Desan was a very sympathetic person. When he thought of the difficulties Zhao Da's family faced, and thought of the woman he loved using her thin, fragrant shoulders to bear the burden of a broken family, he had to help them as much as possible.
Thinking of this, Zhao Desan said to Zhao Da earnestly: "Brother Zhao, actually I understand your thoughts. You are afraid that Zheng Jie alone will find it difficult to bear the burden of the family, and that there will be no one to take care of you in the future, and that Nini will suffer, right?"
Zhao Desan's words touched Zhao Da's heart. He turned his head to look at Zhao Desan, his eyes full of helplessness, nodded with a heavy expression, sighed, and said: "Hey! Comrade Xiao Zhao, you are the one who understands me best. To tell you the truth, brother really thought that way. Look at brother now, like a useless person, unable to do anything, needing people to take care of eating, drinking, and excreting every day. This is not what brother is worried about. Brother is just thinking that Nini is still young, and Zheng Jie is a woman after all, and her ability is limited. I'm afraid that after a long time, she won't be able to hold on and will have other thoughts..."
"You are worried that Zheng Jie won't be able to hold on and will rely on other men, and will abandon you?" Zhao Desan followed up on Zhao Da's words. Zhao Desan knew Zhao Da's thoughts very well.
Zhao Da sighed deeply and said noncommittally: "Abandoning me doesn't matter. The key is Nini. I'm afraid Nini will suffer in the future. I think instead of letting Zheng Jie live with others, it's better to let you be together. At least you, Comrade Xiao Zhao, are very good to Nini, just like treating your own daughter, and Nini also likes you. If she lives with you in the future, she will absolutely not be wronged."
Zhao Da's words made Zhao Desan feel very satisfied. Indeed, every time he came to Zhao Da's house, Nini would rush into his arms, and he also liked this smart and clever little girl very much. But to say he really wanted to live with Zheng Jie's family, given his current situation, he was in the development stage of his career, and he couldn't agree to Zhao Da no matter what. Although he was kind-hearted and willing to help Zhao Da, in his heart, his career was truly the first priority.
