Chapter 1950: Pus.h.i.+ng Them to Their Deaths
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All his achievements originated from Zhai Hua. As soon as he and Zhai Hua got a divorce, he seemed to be beaten back to his original form.
Wei De thought of how others were discussing back then that the army would be dismissing him soon as he had no achievements at all. This was when he hadn’t wooed Zhai Hua yet. He remembered how he felt back then.
His physical fitness was alright. He didn’t have any other capabilities and only knew how to be a soldier but wanted to be an officer. As such, he could only continue to be in the army and keep trying to climb up the ranks. When others looked down on him and felt that he would be dismissed sooner or later, he wanted to prove to these people that he had a better life than them in the army.
The more it was like this, the more unwilling Wei De was to have a divorce. As long as Zhai Hua didn’t agree to this divorce, Wei De would do anything Zhai Hua wanted. Even if Wei De were to kneel in front of Zhai Hua now, not only would he not frown, but he wouldn’t even hesitate to do so at all.
He couldn’t leave the army. If he left the army, his fifty-year-old self would really be left with nothing.
After such a big change, not only did Wei Xiaomei return to her hometown, but Wei Wei was sent back as well. Thoughts about continuing to complete the remaining semester in school, striving to achieve outstanding performance in the college entrance examination, and entering a good university in the future disappeared from Wei De’s mind.
Zhai Hua didn’t like Wei Xiaomei. She would definitely hate Wei Wei too. He hadn’t thought of ways to get Zhai Hua back yet. If he let her see people she didn’t like, then his relations.h.i.+p with Zhai Hua would be even more hopeless.
If he couldn’t even take care of himself, how would Wei De have the thought to take care of his son?
Father Wei and Mother Wei knew about Wei De’s dismissal from the army. Mother Wei’s eyes turned red and she nearly cried. “Why is Zhai Hua so cruel? At the very least, Ah De has been husband and wife with her for over ten years. Didn’t they say that a day together as husband and wife means endless devotion for the rest of your life? She really isn’t going to leave us any way out? She wants to push us to our deaths?!”
Her son was her pride and the biggest officer in their village. Now that her son was no longer a company commander and wasn’t even a soldier, upon thinking of how their lives would be in the future, Mother Wei felt bitter. They really couldn’t lead such a life.
Zhai Hua wasn’t going to give them any money. Her son was dismissed from the army. This meant that they would no longer give allowances. Forget thinking about the long term and if it was possible to nurture Xiao Wei into a university student. If her son didn’t find a job soon, their family would run out of living expenses soon.
Wei De had a menacing look. “Since she and the Zhai family want to push us to our deaths, let’s die for them one by one.” His mom was right. Zhai Hua was too ruthless. The Zhai family was even more ruthless. After all, they had been family for over ten years. They didn’t leave him any way out now. They wanted to see him die, huh? He would die and just let the Zhai family be equally embarra.s.sed as well!
Of course, Wei De wasn’t really planning to die. A person like Wei De would know that it was better to live than die. He only hoped to use such a tactic to force Zhai Hua so that she would dare not to divorce him and the Zhai family would help him return to the army.
As such, before the last trial started, there was a big piece of news about someone wanting to jump off from the opposite building. “Look quickly! There’s someone sitting on the roof railing of the opposite building. He looks like he’s going to commit suicide. Hurry up and call the police.”
“Oh G.o.d. What happened such that he couldn’t come to terms and wants to commit suicide? He doesn’t look young either.”
“It’s said that his wife wants to divorce him. He doesn’t want to as he doesn’t want his family to be separated and his daughter to have an incomplete family. I heard that his in-laws are very powerful and forced the couple to divorce. They even caused that man to lose his job.”
Upon hearing these words, the Zhai family’s looks turned ugly.
Zhai Hua gritted his teeth. “It shouldn’t be him, right?” If the person who was going to commit suicide was really Wei De, Zhai Hua had the urge to blind herself. How bad were her eyes back then that she fancied Wei De and argued with her family for more than ten years?
How did Wei De manage to do such a shameless and embarra.s.sing thing?
“That’s hard to say.” Zhai Yaohui knew of the saying that a dog will leap over a wall in desperation. Wei De wasn’t someone good to begin with. Now, all the facts had proven that Wei De married Zhai Hua back then not because he really liked her, but because of the Zhai family’s conditions. What kind of things would a person like Wei De, who relied on a woman and didn’t recognize his wife and son just to climb up the ranks and achieve his motives, not do?
Furthermore, the content of those people’s discussions coincided too much with Wei De’s situation. It was estimated that there wouldn’t be any accidents in this matter.
Miao Jing felt a headache. “What should we do? Why don’t we get Zhai Sheng back?” Miao Jing, a woman who had encountered so many things when she was young, had never tried the method of seeking death. She didn’t expect that a method that even she, an old woman, found disdainful would be used today, and it was by her son-in-law nonetheless.
Miao Jing looked at Zhai Hua helplessly. She felt that her daughter was too unlucky. She was afraid that her daughter only knew about Wei De’s true colors today. Could a man like this still be called a man?
“No need.” Zhai Hua’s personal matters were considered important as well. “Wei De’s a clown. Do you really need to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? Let him be. If he really jumps down from the rooftop and dies, then so be it. That has nothing to do with our family. If someone wants to die, even the King of Hades can’t stop him, let alone us.”
In short, who cares about Wei De’s life and death?
“Do you think Ah De can really do this? Why am I so afraid? If Ah De loosens his hand… We only have one son.” Mother Wei’s legs were shaking, and her face turned pale. She was starting to feel a little regretful. All was good as long as her son was here. Why don’t they just give up everything about the Zhai family?
If anything happened to her son, she really couldn’t live anymore.
Father Wei was also worried. However, he felt determined. “You’re just a timid woman who lacks knowledge. As the saying goes, deploy troops in such a way as to leave no room for maneuver or route for escape so that the soldiers will fight for their dear lives out of desperation and eventually win the battle. For our Wei family and Ah De’s future, I’m supportive of Ah De. Furthermore, Ah De was a soldier. I believe Ah De knows it in his heart and won’t let anything happen to him.”
If not for him being too old and his fear of heights, it would have been more appropriate for him or his wife to do this. He wanted to see if the Zhai family was really so cruel and shameless, and that in order to make Zhai Hua divorce Ah De, they were going to force the Wei family to their deaths.
