Chapter 1252

In the living room, his elderly mother, sister, brother-in-law, niece, and his son were all sitting at the dining table, eating happily. And the woman who was placing a bowl of soup on the table was none other than his wife, He Jinyan.

No, now she was his ex-wife.

He Jinyan had just placed the bowl of soup on the table when she heard the sound of the door opening. She turned to look at the door and froze instantly, her eyes gradually misting over.

Weng Guoying's sister, Weng Guolan, saw Weng Guoying return and said with a smile, "Guoying is back! Come and eat quickly. Jinyan cooked the meal today."

Seeing the scene of his family, whom he hadn't seen for so long, living in harmony, Weng Guoying couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat. He hurriedly put down his bag to cover it up, went to the bathroom to wash his hands and face, and then came out. He Jinyan had already served his rice, so he sat down at the table and picked up his bowl.

He asked his mother, "Mom, you look much more spirited."

His mother nodded and said, "Yes, I've been feeling quite spirited these past few days."

Weng Guolan said, "Happy events bring good spirits. Mom didn't really have any illness; it was just a heart ailment. Now that your matter is resolved, Mom is happy, and her heart ailment is gone."

Weng Guoying nodded and said, "That's great. Sister, thank you for your hard work!"

Weng Guolan said, "What are you saying? She is my mother too."

His brother-in-law, Yan Jinglun, smiled and said, "Guoying, I heard you are being transferred to the province."

Weng Guoying asked in surprise, "Brother-in-law, who did you hear that from?"

Yan Jinglun said, "Yesterday, County Magistrate Xu came to our house. He said your policy has been implemented, the province is transferring you, and they have also reissued your wages, bonuses, and various welfare subsidies for the past two years, totaling over ten thousand yuan."

Weng Guoying nodded and said, "Yes, the province is transferring me to the Water Conservancy Department."

Weng Guoying's words made the whole family overjoyed. The events of the past few days had dispersed the clouds of gloom that had filled the sky for the past two years, and Weng Guoying's words were an unexpected joy. Being transferred to the province was ten thousand times better than being in the county, wasn't it?

Weng Guolan said happily, "This is truly seeing the clouds part to see the moon!"

A look of joy also appeared on He Jinyan's face, but when Weng Guoying looked at his son, Weng Cheng, he saw that he was still timid and didn't seem very close to him. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, hoping that the passage of time would make his son better.

Yan Jinglun said, "Oh, right, Guoying, County Magistrate Xu asked you to go to his office once you returned."

Weng Guoying nodded and agreed.

After the family finished their meal, Weng Guolan went home with her husband and daughter. He Jinyan cleaned up the dishes, served Weng's mother to wash up and go to sleep, and then let her son sleep. In the living room, only Weng Guoying and He Jinyan were left sitting opposite each other, and an strange atmosphere filled the room.

The two didn't speak for a long time. He Jinyan lowered her head, her fingers unconsciously rubbing her clothes.

Weng Guoying finally stammered, "Jin, Jinyan, are, are you doing well now?"

He Jinyan raised her head, looked at Weng Guoying, and said, "I'm not doing well."

Weng Guoying was speechless; he couldn't respond to that.

Tears welled up in He Jinyan's eyes: "Guoying, do you know? Since I left you, I haven't been able to sleep peacefully for a single day. I was used to sleeping by your side, but now when I wake up in shock at night, the space beside me is empty. How could you expect me to be doing well?"

"My brother looks down on me every day, my parents sigh every day, my neighbors look at me with strange eyes every day, and our son has nothing to say every day. You don't even know what you're doing. How could you expect me to be doing well?"

He Jinyan finally burst into tears, but to avoid waking Weng's mother and son, she covered her mouth. Yet, such sobbing was particularly heartbreaking.

Weng Guoying was at a loss. Even when facing Cui Minda's muzzle, he had been extremely calm, but he couldn't bear the tears of his original wife. He felt as if a knife were twisting in his heart.
