Chapter 44 I'll raise a fat son for you
Jiang Wukui looked at Que Dongjin and smiled, but didn't say anything. Que Dongjin was very happy to see that his adoptive father had done well in his studies when he came home this time, and Jiang Wukui didn't want to affect his mood.
"Wu Kui, we are good friends, is there anything you can't tell me?" Que Dongjin looked at Jiang Wu Kui and knew from his face that he must be hiding something from him.
"Dongjin, it's so shameful! Your adoptive father has become a new man, and I am so happy for you. But, my father, alas!" Jiang Wukui sighed and stopped.
"What happened to your father? Tell me. Don't keep it in your heart. Maybe you will feel better if you say it out loud." Que Dongjin really wanted to help Jiang Wukui get rid of his worry.
"My father is such a coward! When I returned home, he was not at home. As a result, I found my stepmother with another man, and I caught them in the act. However, when I was about to beat that wild man, my father came back. Guess what my father did?" Jiang Wukui looked at Que Dongjin and clenched his fists.
"What's wrong with him? He asked you to let that man go, right?" Que Dongjin asked.
"How could you think so? You said that his woman slept with another man, but he was not angry. Instead, he knelt down with my stepmother and begged me to let that man go. Tell me, is my father still a man?" Jiang Wukui acted unreasonable.
"Oh. Your father and your stepmother both begged you to let that man go? There must be a reason. What did they say?" Que Dongjin asked.
"My stepmother said that my father was not a good person to begin with, but that man said he would not give less money. What about my father? He actually said that he knew about their affair. You say, they are shameless, so am I not a human being anymore?" Jiang Wukui looked at Que Dongjin.
"Wu Kui, you can tell me about such things, which means you really treat me as a brother! In fact, the three of them have nothing to say about this matter, and I think you should stop caring too much. Your father has his own difficulties. Didn't you say that your father has been in poor health? Think about it, your stepmother has to support her daughter, and your father doesn't want to add burden to you. They are helpless. Just pity the parents in the world!" Que Dongjin patted Jiang Wu Kui on the shoulder.
Jiang Wukui looked at Que Dongjin. He didn't expect that Que Dongjin would advise him like this. He thought Que Dongjin would scold his father and others for being shameless after hearing it, but he advised himself!
"Dongjin, tell me, is my stepmother very cheap? What do you mean by for the family? I think she is cheap. She just wants that from a man! Can't she live without that from a man?" Jiang Wukui was still very angry.
"Wu Kui, you can't measure your stepmother with your own standards. After all, she is still young, a few years younger than your father. She has her own life. I think it's not bad that she didn't abandon your father and can live with him. Think about it, how many people starved to death every day when the country was in crisis? If your father didn't have your stepmother, let alone starving to death, he would at least have become a beggar, right?" Que Dongjin was very calm.
"Dongjin, now that you're saying that, do I have to thank my stepmother? Right?" Jiang Wukui was a little unconvinced.
"I didn't say you should thank her. But I was telling the truth. Think about it, how many people can maintain their dignity in the face of hunger and death? Right? Forget it, you don't have to punish yourself for this. Wu Kui, just pretend you didn't see anything, okay? Come on, let's go into the house and have a drink." Que Dongjin took Jiang Wu Kui's hand and went into the house.
"Get ready to drink! Dongjin, your father always talks about you. Today, you and your brothers should have a few drinks with your father." The woman said to Que Dongjin with a smile.
"Okay, Auntie, you've worked hard, come and have a drink too!"
"You guys drink first, and I'll cook a dish. Later, I'll drink too and have a couple of drinks with you. We're a family now, right?" the woman said with a smile.
"Auntie is really capable." Jiang Wukui said with a smile.
"She is indeed very capable and virtuous. I never thought that I would have such good luck at my age." Que Dongjin's adoptive father said with a smile.
"What do you mean by this age? Aren't you not even fifty years old yet? I will raise a fat son for you so that you can enjoy your old age." The woman said with a smile.
"Hahaha! Look at what you said. In fact, Dongjin is also very filial. Now that I have a son like Dongjin, it doesn't matter whether I raise him or not. As long as you treat me well, I will be satisfied." Dongjin's adoptive father showed a happy smile on his face.
"Father, I'm so happy to see you happy. I really want to have a little brother. Auntie, you must give me a little brother!" Que Dongjin said with a smile.
"Of course, of course! Dongjin, you should drink with your buddies, don't just talk." said the woman.
"This family has the warmth of home. It would be great if my family were like this too! But that woman is so shameless!" Jiang Wukui felt very uncomfortable thinking about his stepmother.
"Come on, Wu Kui, have a drink." Seeing that Jiang Wu Kui seemed to be thinking about something else, Que Dongjin quickly raised his glass and clinked it with him.
Everyone was laughing, drinking and chatting.
After a while, Que Dongjin was a little drunk.
After Jiang Wukui finished his meal, he saw that it was still early for the gathering, so he smiled and said, "Dongjin, you are happy today and have drunk too much. You should take a rest. I will go out for a walk and then come to call you."
"Okay, Dongjin, go to bed and get some sleep."
"Auntie, I won't sleep. I'm fine."
"Why are you being so polite to me? Look, your father's bed is very clean now. It doesn't look like a doghouse like it did at the beginning. Go and have a rest!"
"Dongjin, your aunt asked you to rest for a while, so just lie down and rest for a while!" Que Dongjin's adoptive father said with a smile.
"Come, I'll help you."
"Auntie, no need. I can do it myself!" Que Dongjin looked at the woman and smiled. He found that his aunt was quite pretty. He thought to himself that his adoptive father was really blessed.
"Okay, I'll go out for a walk." Jiang Wukui said.
"Come and call me!" Que Dongjin lay on the bed.
"Don't worry! I'm leaving." Jiang Wukui said and went out.
Jiang Wukui went out, still thinking about his father, and walked towards his home.
As he walked along the road, Jiang Wukui realized that he had been thinking about his father. He was worried about his father. He was afraid that his father would be bullied by his stepmother like Wu Dalang. The scene of Wu Dalang being killed really appeared in his mind. He thought, if he made such a fuss, would his stepmother treat his father like Pan Jinlian?
Jiang Wukui thought so and quickened his pace.
Jiang Wukui arrived at the door and found it was closed again, so he knocked on it hurriedly.
"Who is it? Taking a nap!" Jiang Wukui heard it was his father's voice.
Jiang Wukui wanted to answer, but he couldn't open his mouth.
The door opened.
"Kuizi, is that you? Have you been drinking? Come in."
Jiang Wukui didn't say anything. He walked into the house, looked around, and said, "Are you home alone?"
"She's home too, we're taking a nap!"
"Oh. She didn't do anything to you?"
"No. She said that she brought shame to you. She knows you hate her, but she said she won't bear a grudge against you. Kuizi, even if this matter has passed, you should not keep it in mind, okay?" Jiang Wukui's father looked at him with a fatherly love in his eyes.
Jiang Wukui said nothing.
"Kuizi, you know that father has always been in poor health. I don't even have the ability to support you, and you blame me for being a coward. I can understand that, and I am indeed a coward. I can't do heavy work, and I don't have the capital to do business. I, I have no choice. People have to live, right? She, it's not easy either. Can you understand your father?" Jiang Wukui's father seemed very humble.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Since you can let it go, what else can I say? Tell her to get up. I have something to say to her. Don't worry, I won't do anything to her." Jiang Wukui said to his father.
"Okay, okay. You better hold back and don't do it, okay?"
"Don't worry, I won't be that impulsive," said Jiang Wukui.
"Kuizi is back! Kuizi, I, I really have no choice, and I don't want to embarrass you!" Jiang Wukui's stepmother heard them talking in the room and got up.
"Mom, I still call you mom. After all, you take care of my father, right? My father doesn't care about your affairs, and I will pretend nothing happened. I know my father's health, and I just want you to take good care of my father no matter what happens. Can you do it?" Jiang Wukui stared at her without a smile.
"Kuizi, don't worry about that. As long as I have food to eat, I won't let him starve. I will definitely take good care of him."
"Kuizi, your mother is actually very good to me."
"As long as she treats you well, that's good. I have nothing else to do. I'm leaving now." Jiang Wukui said, looking at his father, "Take care of yourself!"
Jiang Wukui went out, and his stepmother and father watched him walk away and closed the door.
"Tell me, Kuizi really doesn't hate me anymore?" the woman asked the man.
"Kuizi is a simple-minded person. If he says he won't bear a grudge against you, then he won't bear a grudge against you." said the man.
"I won't bring him home anymore. I, I'm sorry. But, you know..."
"I know. Don't say anymore. I don't blame you, do I?" Jiang Wukui's father held the woman's hand.
"I, really have no choice. It's not that I can't live without men. I miss men, but I want to support this family more."
"I know. If you only wanted men, you would have left me long ago. Still taking a nap?"
"Sleep. I want to sleep for a while and hold you, although you can't do that." The woman said with a smile.
Jiang Wukui was walking on the road, thinking about what his father had said when he got home, and what his stepmother had said. He still didn't understand how a man and a woman could get along like that? His father actually had no resentment towards his stepmother in his heart? Why? Why are men and women so complicated?
Jiang Wukui felt that he was too young and ignorant. He only saw things between men and women as simple. In fact, there are many ways for men and women to get along with each other. What about women? Jiang Wukui inexplicably thought of what Zhang Dahu said about female homosexuality.
