Chapter 159

~8 min read 1,494 words

Lu Qiao was very fast; she supported Old Man Ding and said gently, "Grandpa Ding, I haven't finished speaking yet. Don't be so emotional; no matter what happens, there is always a way to solve it, right?"

This family's situation is a bit special; from a reasonable perspective, Lu Qiao felt Chen Ying's actions were not a problem.

Back then, they swore they wouldn't give anything and didn't need them to provide for them.

As a result, they regretted it when they got old.

Who doesn't know that life was harder when they were young than it is now?

They had to be busy with work and take care of young children.

And the elderly could help their children a lot when they were young.

But from a moral and even legal level, Old Man Ding and Old Woman Ding's appeal is reasonable.

Even if your father is a criminal, you still have the obligation to support him when he is old.

This has nothing to do with whether he helped you or not!

But this support also comes in many forms; it doesn't necessarily mean they have to be taken into the home, right?

Lu Qiao's notebook contained a lot of important information she had collected and recorded.

One page recorded the housing conditions within the area she was responsible for.

Just as Lu Qiao was about to take out her notebook, a gray pigeon fluttered over, landed on the windowsill, and tapped on the window a few times with its beak—*dang, dang, dang*.

Naturally, this attracted the attention of the people in the room.

Lu Qiao also looked up.

This was the leader of that flock of pigeons, named Xiaohui.

This was the name she had given it.

It wasn't the "gray" of gray, but the "brilliance" of brilliance.

And "Xiao" wasn't the "small" of size, but the "dawn" of dawn breaking.

It must be said that this gray pigeon was a pigeon with a lot of ideas.

Then Lu Qiao heard the information the gray pigeon reported to her.

【Ding Jianshe doesn't dare to bring his parents over; the main reason is actually that he has a handle held by that Chen Ying.】

【Twelve years ago, Ding Jianshe went on a business trip to a mining area and slept with a waitress at the guest house. Then the waitress gave birth to a child. Now, he must hand over his monthly salary to that woman to raise the child; it has been almost twelve years.】

【That woman also has a family, but her husband has been ill for years.】

【She and that man have no children.】

【The child Ding Jianshe had with that woman is a son. Not only does he have to give all his salary to that woman, but Ding Jianshe will also have to take care of that son when he gets married in the future.】

【Ding Jianshe didn't want to say anything at first, but later he had no choice and had to confess to Chen Ying.】

【Chen Ying wanted a divorce, but Ding Jianshe didn't agree.】

【Although Ding Jianshe is not a good husband, he is a good father; he is very good to his daughter and son, and both children also love their father very much.】

【It is because of these reasons that the two of them did not divorce. Of course, the biggest reason is that Chen Ying wants to help Ding Jianshe cover this matter up.

Because the money is remitted by Chen Ying every month, everyone else thinks she is sending money to her maiden family. Those who know praise Ding Jianshe for being a good husband and son-in-law, praising him for not minding his wife helping her maiden family.】

Lu Qiao was still somewhat dumbfounded.

Good heavens, she really hadn't expected this.

No wonder he didn't say a word no matter what Chen Ying said; he was afraid of ruining his reputation.

It makes sense; if they divorced, no one would help him remit the money.

Although he could remit the money himself after the divorce.

But he didn't dare to gamble on Chen Ying.

If Chen Ying turned against him, he would definitely not end up well.

Over there, Ding the eldest's wife was still saying: "Mom and Dad are in good health now and can take care of themselves. Although they are old, Mom can still cook now.

My house really has no room to live. If there were room, would I send Mom and Dad to you?

You know that the neighbors on the street are pointing at my spine and scolding me; I really have no other way.

We can't let Mom and Dad live in the grandson's new bridal chamber.

You know Dandan is someone my son worked hard to marry into the family. Her family conditions are so good; it was a blessing from our ancestors that she could marry into our Ding family.

I really have no other choice.

Chen Ying, how about this: let them live at your place for a while, and if houses are allocated in the future, I will take Mom and Dad back. Do you think that will work?"

Allocate houses?

Who would believe that?

Not even a ghost would believe it!

Although the military factory has a transcendent status, it hasn't built houses for many years. Now the country is in difficulty, the factory is in difficulty, and the cause of national defense cannot have a single slip-up.

It doesn't matter if the workers are bitter or tired; they must go all out to complete the various tasks assigned from above.

Therefore, funds will not be spent on unimportant housing.

It is said that there are no plans to build houses in the next ten years.

Especially now that new projects are being launched, it is even more remote.

What doesn't cost money?

Even a screw on a weapon is made with money.

Chen Ying looked at the silent Ding Jianshe with resentful eyes, gnashing her teeth with implication but also with a threat: "Ding Jianshe, if you want to live your life in peace, solve your parents' matter properly, otherwise don't blame me for being impolite!"

Ding Jianshe stood up with a start.

He grabbed his hair in frustration, his eyes bloodshot as he looked at his father and mother standing at the door.

Why?

Why does everyone have to make things so difficult for him?

The mining area is keeping a close watch on him, watching him like a hawk. Every cent of his salary, even his grain coupons and welfare coupons, he has to mail to the other party. Every month, he only has a little bonus left to maintain his life. If it weren't for the overtime pay, his family would have fallen apart long ago.

He is just an ordinary technician.

He was able to be allocated such a large house because he made contributions to his unit.

He didn't expect that the mistake he made in a moment of confusion would bring him such great trouble.

It would be one thing if his parents couldn't help him, but now they are adding insult to injury.

And the most important situation now is that his elderly parents want to move in.

But Chen Ying firmly disagrees.

He understands her.

So no matter what Chen Ying says or does, he doesn't stop her.

Even if he is scolded by his father for being a coward.

Because he has let Chen Ying down, let this family down, and let his son and daughter down.

His dignity is upheld by Chen Ying.

He is grateful to this woman.

At the same time, he also hates himself for his momentary confusion back then.

He is just an ordinary man; how could he have the ability to support two families?

He is now physically and mentally exhausted.

He just feels that living is too hard; he is just a piece of trash who doesn't dare to face reality!

At this moment, Old Man Ding slapped the table next to him, tears streaming down his face: "Fine, fine, fine, I, this old fossil, have really become a burden. There is no place that can tolerate your mother and me. What are we living for? Wife, let's go, let's both go jump into the river and die; it will save us from being pushed around and despised."

Saying this, he pulled Old Woman Ding and started walking out.

Lu Qiao and Sister Qiao exchanged a look; they definitely couldn't just watch, so the two of them grabbed Old Woman Ding.

Ding the eldest grabbed Old Man Ding, glanced at the two cadres from the neighborhood office, and frowned, saying: "Dad, don't be so impulsive. Second brother is just unable to think straight for a moment. Besides, it was indeed our fault back then."

Speaking of this, Ding the eldest looked at Ding Jianshe, who was standing there in a daze...
