Chapter 991: Mentioning the Marriage
"What did you say?! You..." Wei Zheng was furious and his blood instantly boiled.
Madam Shen sneered, "I'm sorry, I forgot that you are already old and blind. I'll say it again, the Wei family deserves to go bankrupt in your hands. It's your retribution."
"Ah...you, you, I'm going to fight you."
Wei Zheng yelled and raised his cane to hit him.
At this age, if he was not extremely angry, he would not be so impulsive. Madam Shen's words touched Wei Zheng's reverse scale. The bankruptcy of the Wei family in his hands was a shame that he would never be able to erase in his lifetime. No one could mention it in front of him because it was humiliating him, reminding him of his incompetence, and touching the deepest guilt and unwillingness in his heart.
The crutch did not fall on Madam Shen as expected, but was held firmly by Fu Nanzhou.
The man's face was cold as ice, but he still maintained the necessary politeness, "Grandma is old and can't stand the bumps and bruises. Please be merciful, Mr. Wei."
Wei Zheng was furious and wanted to pull out the crutch, but the strength of an old man was far different from that of a young man. He gritted his teeth and looked at Fu Nanzhou, "Let go!"
He repeated it several times, shouting and exerting force, his body shaking.
Fu Nanzhou loosened his grip without warning, and Wei Zheng fell backwards heavily, sitting on the ground in a miserable state.
"I'm sorry, you asked me to let go, I was just doing what I was told."
Although he said sorry, Fu Nanzhou didn't feel the slightest bit of remorse in his heart.
He didn't have a good impression of Wei Zheng. Not only did Wei Zheng and his wife ignore his mother-in-law, but they also had no affection for Lu Xi at all.
Mrs. Wei was shocked when she saw this, and hurried out to help her husband up, "Old Wei, are you okay?"
Wei Zheng was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He fell quite hard and his vision went dark and he felt dizzy. Fortunately, he did not hit his coccyx, otherwise, with his old arms and legs, he would probably have been lying in bed for the next few years.
"It's okay! You won't die!" Wei Zheng snorted coldly.
Madam Wei glanced at Fu Nanzhou sharply, but said nothing. Instead, she turned to Madam Shen and said, "Xiu Xiu, don't be so angry. Our two families are relatives, not enemies."
"It's true that they are not enemies, but enemies." Old Madam Shen was very rude and didn't give any face at all.
Old Madam Wei was choked and her face turned pale and blue. She was about to get angry, but she forced herself to suppress the anger.
She smiled again, "Don't be like this. We know that we ignored Tongtong because we were too ashamed to face you. Think about it, the Shen family is in its heyday, but our Wei family has long been in decline. You don't despise us, but we still feel uncomfortable in our hearts, always feeling inferior.
"Wei Zheng and I are also very proud and don't want to be criticized. You should have noticed that in addition to not contacting the Shen family, we also don't attend various banquets. We are almost in a state of retreat, in order to reduce unnecessary trouble. Now Shuang'er has been found, and the two sisters are by our side. Old Wei and I are old and about to die. We also want to have children and grandchildren around us. We also hope that you can fulfill our last wish."
Madam Wei spoke sincerely, giving an explanation and also seeking peace.
Shen Yuntian is a kind-hearted person. He may be angry and resentful, but it is better to resolve a feud than to create one. Besides, the old couple Wei Zheng have never done anything against the law. They are just partial to Wei Wushuang and don't love Wei Yutong. How can this be considered a sin?
It’s just that Shen Yuntian couldn’t let go of the knot that had been in his heart for many years, so he put his hands behind his back and didn’t say anything.
Madam Shen was not a pushover. When Madam Wei was talking, she didn't interrupt and listened attentively. It seemed that she had taken it in. But when Madam Wei stopped talking, she snorted coldly, "Dream on! Don't you have an older daughter? Let her be your daughter. As for whether your grandson or granddaughter recognizes you, I don't care. I can't control it."
Then, she looked at Shen Mo again, "Shen Mo, Pingting, grandma tells you that it's either me or her. If you recognize her, then don't recognize me as your grandma. As for that... second kid of the Fu family, whether you recognize your grandparents or not is your business. It's not my business."
The two wards were adjacent to each other. Madam Shen could see both wards from where she was standing. Fu Xizhou, who was sitting on the sofa, could hear it. So could Lu Xi, who was coaxing her baby to sleep next door.
Only then did Lu Xi leave Wei Yutong's ward.
Madam Wei was furious. "Jin Xiuxiu, don't go too far! You said you don't care, but what did you say just now? Threatening the children and putting them in a dilemma, is this how you act as a grandmother?!"
Madam Shen sneered, "Yes, that's how I act as a grandmother. You don't have a son, so you can't be a grandmother, so you can't understand. And when I said I don't care, I meant I don't care about your grandson, not my granddaughter."
"You..." Old Madam Wei was furious. Jin Xiuxiu was famous for being unreasonable when she was young, and she became even more unreasonable now that she was old.
Wei Zheng was also very angry, but he did not argue with Old Madam Shen. He just looked at Shen Mo, Lu Xi and Shen Pingting, "Children, are you willing to recognize me and your grandmother?"
Shen Pingting turned away and said nothing, but her cold look seemed to be saying "stay away from me", and her annoyed attitude clearly showed that she didn't want to get involved.
Shen Mo pursed his lips and said nothing, thinking about his mother. He knew very well that his mother missed his grandparents very much and longed for her family.
As for Lu Xi, she said without hesitation, "I don't admit it."
"You... I am your grandpa." Wei Zheng shouted in shock and anger. He didn't expect Lu Xi to not recognize him!
Lu Xi didn't even want to give a fake smile, and said coldly: "You don't even recognize my mother, how can you be my grandpa? My mother's current state has nothing to do with you? To be honest, I grew up without a father or a mother, so I know that there are really parents who don't love their children. I believe you only love my aunt, not my mother. There is a generation gap, and there is no family affection to speak of."
Wei Zheng's face was extremely ugly. He didn't expect that the youngest one would be more difficult to deal with. Just when he was about to ask Shen Congrong again, Lu Xi said, "Don't ask my father. He is a kind person and will definitely not do anything rebellious. But you bullied my mother, which touched his heart. He must hate you to death. Hasn't the aunt been rescued? Since you also know that you don't have much time, then spend more time with the aunt. Husband, quickly help grandpa and grandma in and close the door."
Fu Nanzhou said, "Grandpa and grandma, please go in first."
Shen Yuntian nodded heavily, and Old Madam Shen was even more delighted. She really loved her little granddaughter so much. She said to Shen Pingting and others, "Come on, everyone from our Shen family, come in and talk."
Shen Pingting didn't hesitate and followed him into the ward.
Ji Liangchuan also strode forward and included himself in the count.
He thought that if Old Madam Shen asked him why he came in, he would bring up the matter of marrying Shen Pingting. It would be reasonable and would not make him seem inconsiderate or as if he was in a hurry to marry Shen Pingting.
