  They didn’t manage to force the Zhai family to retreat, and they even got scolded by Zhai Hua and were seen as a joke by outsiders. He felt that his life was over once he got a divorce. His hard work in the past two decades would go to waste.

  It wasn’t known if he was triggered by others or that Wei De really wanted to die. Wei De closed his eyes and really let go of the hand holding the railing. With a bang, he scared quite a few people.

  “Damn. He really jumped.” The person who was digging at him previously didn’t look good. He shrank his neck and wanted to leave. He thought that that man wouldn’t dare to jump. Who knew he really jumped down? However, this had nothing to do with him. Even if he didn’t say anything, didn’t that man want to jump down anyway?

  “Ah De!” Mother Wei shouted heartbreakingly. She hurried over and leaned on the railing to take a look. The height made Mother Wei feel dizzy.

  \r \r \r

  Father Wei hurriedly caught hold of Mother Wei. “Don’t worry. It’s alright. Wei De’s fine.”

  Just like what the onlookers said before, the fire department had already laid a large inflatable cushion downstairs. It couldn’t kill anyone. What nobody knew was that Father Wei was actually the one who disguised his voice and made the call to the fire department. It was better to be safe than sorry. No matter when it was, Father Wei never wanted to lose Wei De, his son. Even if Wei De really had to jump, he could prove to the Zhai family and Zhai Hua that he was determined to turn over a new leaf.

  He didn’t expect that not only did this jump fail to express Wei De’s attitude toward the Zhai family, but Wei De had jumped down as he was triggered by onlookers. Father Wei’s face turned dark. He was feeling regretful for agreeing to his son to do this and to fool around with Wei De.

  The news of Wei De’s jump reached the Zhai family. It was just that back then, it was considered a contempt of court as the Wei family was absent. Moreover, this was the final trial. Both parties had already submitted all the evidence and materials that should be submitted. Even if Wei De and the Wei family didn’t appear, the court’s decision was not affected.

  After hearing the court’s ruling that she was divorced from Wei De, Zhai Hua felt that a mountain had been taken off her back. She and Wei De were no longer husband and wife. She no longer had to face those messy affairs of the Wei family in the future.

  When the Zhai family received the answer that they wanted, they were stopped by someone on their way home. Mother Wei cried. “Hua Hua, you have been husband and wife with Ah De for more than ten years. You can’t ignore him at this time. It’s just a misunderstanding. You can’t fall for Wei Xiaomei’s tricks and misunderstand him. To prove his innocence, Wei De had jumped down from the building. He’s already sent to the hospital now. He seems to have fractured his leg bone. Hua Hua, you have to save Ah De. After all, Ah De is your husband and Jiajia’s father.”

  They initially thought that everything would be alright since there was a huge inflatable cushion at the bottom. Father Wei thought that his son was a soldier who usually had more difficult training in the army. Since he could come up with this idea, he should know it better in his heart.

  How did Father Wei know that Wei De no longer valued his skills after being the platoon leader, which was all thanks to him being the Zhai family’s son-in-law? Furthermore, there was a huge gap between ‘thinking’ and reality to begin with.

  Wei De didn’t expect his skills to have deteriorated so much as well. He had jumped from a higher distance and under harsher conditions in the past, but nothing had happened to him then. Who knew that he didn’t jump well today? Although he landed on the cushion, he suffered a fracture.

  Wei De didn’t manage to create a scandal where ‘the old chief forced his son-in-law to his death’. Instead, he fractured his leg bone. Indeed, even God wasn’t willing to pay attention to him and couldn’t care about his life or death.

  “So? He was the one who wanted to jump down. I didn’t push him. Why must I go and see Wei De? Did I owe him?” Zhai Hua didn’t understand the theory behind the Wei family’s words. She had never seen a villager’s inferiority complex in the Wei family before. Instead, Zhai Hua found it an eye-opener that the Wei family was always so self-confident.

  Mother Wei wiped her tears. “Hua Hua, you can’t be so heartless. After all, you and Ah De were husband and wife for more than ten years. How can you leave him in the lurch? Ah De fractured his bone and needs to undergo surgery. Our family—” didn’t have the money. If they didn’t pay the hospital, they wouldn’t perform the operation.

  Ah De still wanted to go back to the army. If he didn’t take care of his fracture and that resulted in a physical disability, even if Ah De was still the son-in-law of the old chief’s family, it would be impossible for him to return to the army. “Hua Hua, even if Ah De did wrong, he has received his punishment. His bone is fractured. He jumped down the building just to prove to you that he really knows that he is in the wrong. We are all a family. Give Ah De a chance. You don’t wish for Jiajia to be fatherless, right? Don’t worry. As long as you forgive Ah De this time, he would definitely not do anything sorry to you in the future. I will dote on you like you are my birth daughter. If Ah De treats you badly, I, I will be the first to beat him to his death.”

  Upon hearing what Mother Wei said, Zhai Hua knew that the Wei family had not given up yet. The more the Wei family was like this, the colder Zhai Hua’s heart became. The Wei family didn’t really think that she, Zhai Hua, was good and that they couldn’t bear to leave her, the wife and daughter-in-law. The Wei family was obviously reluctant to part with the benefits she brought along.

  No one surnamed Wei treated her sincerely. She had actually lived in such a family environment for more than ten years. Upon thinking about this, Zhai Hua only found it incredible. “Enough. You mean that Wei De was sent to the hospital with a fracture, but you don’t have the money to pay the bills, right? I’ll pay the hospital fees and wouldn’t let Wei De end up with a physical disability. However, don’t thank me. I’m doing this for Jiajia.”

  She no longer had any feelings for Wei De. However, she knew clearly about the Wei family’s situation. Without her, Wei De was the only labor force of the Wei family. If anything happened to Wei De, the Wei family really couldn’t go on with their lives.

  Zhai Hua didn’t care about the Wei family’s life and death. However, who asked her to be unlucky to have a relationship with the Wei family? Furthermore, these people were her daughter’s grandparents. For her daughter, Zhai Hua couldn’t watch Wei De become physically disabled. Otherwise, in the years to come, such a Wei family and Wei De would only become huge burdens for Jiajia.

  Zhai Hua was treating it as losing money to prevent misfortune. “You people surnamed Wei, don’t come and find me or appear in front of me again in the future. Jiajia is Wei De’s daughter. However, Jiajia is still a student and she needs to study.”
