He Xiaomei shook her head and said to her grandma, "Grandma, don't worry about me, I'm fine."
"Well, grandma feels more relieved when she sees you." Bai Wanjing said with a smile.
When I saw my three grandchildren, I felt more relieved.
Afterwards, He Xiaomei and He Xiaoxi helped their grandma sit down, and He Lichen helped their grandpa sit down. They were all ready to chat.
After Cheng Nuo came out of the kitchen, he saw the two elders coming and hurriedly smiled and greeted, "Dad, Mom."
"Well, Nono, come and sit quickly." Bai Wanjing was very polite to her daughter-in-law, and stretched out her hand to motion for her to sit next to her.
But I was still angry with my son. It must have been his son's decision not to tell himself and the old man about Xiaomei, and then asked Nono not to tell either.
Cheng Nuo smiled and nodded, walked to her mother-in-law and sat down.
"Dad, Mom, why did you suddenly..." Cheng Nuo asked the two elders, but he didn't finish his words.
Bai Wanjing knew what her daughter-in-law was going to ask, so she replied, "I called Zikai an hour ago. Zikai told me about Xiaomei. Then I scolded Zikai and hung up the phone angrily.
Came here with your dad."
"We can't see Xiaomei or our three little darlings, so we must not be at ease," Bai Wanjing said.
Hearing what his mother-in-law said, Cheng Nuo immediately understood. But thinking about it, when he was in the hospital, he told Ah Kai not to tell the elders first.
"Mom, it's not Ah Kai's fault, it's my fault," Cheng Nuo took the initiative to admit his mistake to her mother-in-law. "In the hospital at that time, Xiaomei's condition... wasn't very good. I'm worried that you and my dad will get emotional after knowing about it.
That’s why… Ah Kai didn’t tell you.”
After hearing her daughter-in-law's explanation, Bai Wanjing understood her daughter-in-law's thoughts, and even if this was the case, she would not blame her daughter-in-law, only her son.
Such a good daughter-in-law, I don’t even have time to love her.
"Nono, Mom understands what you are doing. Mom and your dad don't blame you. No matter how much they blame you, they have to behave themselves. This unfilial son did not take good care of my grandchildren." Bai Wanjing said.
After hearing what her mother-in-law said, Cheng Nuo didn't know what to say next, and she knew in her heart that although her mother-in-law said she blamed Ah Kai, she didn't blame her son in her heart.
Mother-in-law loves Ah Kai so much, how can she really blame Ah Kai?
After He Xiaomei heard her grandma's words, she also lowered her head and had no intention of speaking.
In fact, it's not my parents' fault, it's all my fault. It was me who ran away from home desperately and went to Long's house...
He Xiaomei thought of Long Yixi and had the urge to cry again, but now she had reason in her mind and knew that her grandparents and mother were all around, so she couldn't cry.
He Xiaomei tried hard to control her thoughts and not let herself think about those things.
At this time, He Zikai came down from upstairs and saw Nuoer, the children, and parents in the living room.
When He Zikai walked into the living room, he greeted, "Dad, Mom."
When He Peixu heard his son's voice, he said nothing and stared at his son angrily.
Bai Wanjing also looked angry and looked at her son.
On the other hand, Cheng Nuo and the three children were a little nervous.
Cheng Nuo looked at his father-in-law and then at his mother-in-law. Seeing that neither his father-in-law nor his mother-in-law had any intention of paying attention to Ah Kai, Cheng Nuo was very anxious and wanted to say something, but he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and make his father-in-law and mother-in-law even more unhappy.
The three children also wanted to adjust the atmosphere, but their mother didn't speak. If they spoke first, wouldn't it be... a bit rude?
He Zikai had already guessed the result of the two elders ignoring him, so he walked over to Nuo'er and sat down without saying anything.
Cheng Nuo looked at He Zikai beside him and whispered, "Ah Kai, this..."
"Don't worry, it's okay." He Zikai also whispered to Nuo'er, not feeling nervous at all.
But just as He Zikai finished speaking, he heard the old man's words.
"Tell me, you, a man, can't even protect your wife and children, what else can you do?" He Peixu asked his son.
The old man's words have always been authoritative in the family. As soon as the words came out, everyone became tense.
"It's my fault for not taking good care of Xiaomei." He Zikai answered his father's words.
"No, Dad..." He Xiaomei said hurriedly, wanting to defend her father, but before she could say anything, she was silenced by her father's voice.
"Xiao Mei," He Zikai looked at his eldest daughter and said, "It was dad's mistake this time. He didn't protect you well. In the future... I promise, I won't do it again. I won't let you get hurt again."
It's my own fault for not considering everything to protect my daughter.
When something happened to their daughter, Nuoer, her son, and her younger daughter felt sad. It was also his fault.
What my father said was right. He failed to protect his wife and children. This is a fact.
He Xiaomei shook her head, not wanting to admit that it was her father's fault. Thinking about it now, she was too persistent and impulsive. But even looking back now, she doesn't regret what she did at that time. If she did it again, she would
I will still desperately want to escape from home and find...
Her eyes were red, and she had the urge to cry. He Xiaomei didn't want to think of that person the last thing in her heart, but the more she didn't want to think of it, the more she remembered it, and she felt... very uncomfortable.
Seeing Xiaomei like this, Bai Wanjing felt heartbroken. She hurriedly stretched out her arms to hug her eldest granddaughter and said, "Xiaomei, don't be afraid. It's okay now. You are fine now, and our whole family is together."
He Xiaomei got into her grandma's arms and finally cried.
"Grandma, don't...blame my dad. It's not...my dad's fault." He Xiaomei cried.
Listening to Xiaomei's crying words, everyone around her felt heartache.
Especially Cheng Nuo, a layer of mist filled his eyes.
These days, because of Xiaomei's affairs, I cry too much, but now when I see Xiaomei cry, I will cry too.
He Zikai took Nuo'er into his arms and gestured to comfort her.
"Okay, okay, grandma listens to you, I don't blame your dad, I don't blame you." Bai Wanjing followed her eldest granddaughter in everything.
"Well..." He Xiaomei finally felt calmer.
After He Xiaomei calmed down, He Peixu said to Xiaomei, "Don't go to school for the time being. For the classes you have missed, ask your parents to arrange tutors for you to attend classes at home. You can recuperate at home."
The most important thing.”
"Yes, I know, grandpa." He Xiaomei replied.
He Peixu then looked at his son and daughter-in-law, and before he could speak, he heard his daughter-in-law's voice.
"Dad, I will communicate with the tutor, arrange a class schedule for Xiaomei, and ask the tutor to come to the house to teach Xiaomei." Cheng Nuo said to the old man.
"Well," He Peixu nodded. He was now in a much better mood than before. He warned his son and daughter-in-law, "Don't arrange too many classes. Let Xiaomei take more rest and balance work with rest." (To be continued)
