Rifts in the Family: Marriage Under Lies

Page 227

There were other patients living in the ward, and those people looked at him and Zhang Yuping in amazement, Zhou Linshan felt that he was about to lose face.Although he knew very well what it was to be ignorant, the psychological effect made him unable to face it calmly.

"Get up for me, don't you want to be an old face, get up for me quickly!" Zhou Linshan shouted in a low voice.

But Zhang Yuping didn't listen, and still begged: "Old man, I know you don't want me to see him, but I'm also a mother, no matter how wrong he is, he's like this, is it so difficult for me to just look at him? !"

"Shut up!" Zhou Linshan didn't want Zhang Yuping to continue talking, and Zhang Yuping would definitely tell everyone what was going on!

The doctor had originally said that it would be fine when Zhang Yuping woke up, now seeing Zhang Yuping like this, Zhou Linshan didn't care about anything else and dragged Zhang Yuping away.

All the way out of the hospital, Zhang Yuping wanted to say something, but Zhou Linshan could say: "You are shameless, I want shame, why don't you go home and talk about it?!"

Hope suddenly appeared in Zhang Yuping's eyes, she nodded repeatedly and followed Zhou Linshan back home by car.

At home, without waiting for Zhou Linshan to speak, Zhang Yuping said first: "Old man, I know you are worried that you will be taken away by Hao. But as long as we don't tell, Hao won't know! I also know that I am sorry for doing so, but Dong Jian, he is my child after all. He has suffered retribution for everything he did before, and I can't wait for him for 20 years!"

Zhou Linshan's face was ashen, but seeing his wife's begging look, he was helpless.Finally, took two deep breaths and said, "Okay, I promise you to go see him. But I can't let you go alone, I have to follow you, otherwise who knows if you will make any trouble again!"

Hearing what Zhou Linshan said, Zhang Yuping almost knelt down for him again.

But today it was almost dark and there was no car to go to the city, so Zhang Yuping could only hold back her desire to see Zhao Dongjian and wait for the next day.

It's just that Zhou Linshan, who was really worried that Zhou Hao would know this by accident, couldn't help calling Zhou Hao at night.

And today is the third day since Zhou Hao and Li Man's divorce, and it is also the fourth night when Xu Jingqiu came here.

Xu Jingqiu slowly regained the feeling of cooking, and after having dinner with Zhou Hao, she went to wash the dishes.When Zhou Hao looked at Xu Jingqiu who was busy in the kitchen, he hesitated in his heart.

What he hesitated was naturally what kind of role Xu Jingqiu played in this family. He didn't mean that Xu Jingqiu was here to bring him any trouble.Instead, he felt that letting Xu Jingqiu stay here would bring Xu Jingqiu something bad.After all, Xu Jingqiu should also look for her personal life. Zhou Hao said at the beginning that he would move out after she got a salary. It was just a good idea, but the reality made such an idea unrealistic.

They regarded themselves as friends, but they were all in their 40s and [-]s after all, living together and going in and out together would always cause some gossip, which was even worse for Xu Jingqiu, a woman.

How about he prepay Xu Jingqiu's salary in advance and let her rent a house?

Zhou Hao was thinking like this, when he saw Xu Jingqiu coming out of the kitchen, he was about to speak when the phone on the coffee table rang.

Zhou Hao's expression changed slightly when he saw the displayed caller number, and Xu Jingqiu couldn't help asking, "Who is calling?"

In the past three days, Zhou Hao didn't think much about the matter between him and Li Man. Of course, the big reason was that Xu Jingqiu was by his side and would always try his best to divert his attention so that he wouldn't think about it.

But thinking about it doesn't mean that nothing really happened. For example, Zhou Hao didn't know how to answer the phone call from home.When the family calls, they will naturally ask about him and Li Man, and even ask Li Man to answer the phone. How should he tell his parents then?

"It's from my family." Zhou Hao replied with a wry smile, and Xu Jingqiu's face became a little nervous, and asked, "What do you say?"

Zhou Hao let out a long breath, and said, "Anyway, if you can hide it for a while, you can't hide it forever, so tell the truth!"

After finishing speaking, Zhou Hao picked up the phone, pretending to be relaxed and said, "Hello, is that mom? Why did you call suddenly?"

It was usually the mother who made the phone call at home, so Zhou Hao subconsciously thought it was the mother.

"It's me." Zhou Linshan said, and Zhou Hao said in surprise: "Dad, it's you! It's so late, what's the matter? By the way, are you and Mom okay recently?"

"Well, it's all good. Hao, Dad has something to ask you. Tell me honestly, is that Zhao Dongjian really arrested?!"

Father knew about Zhao Dongjian, and Zhou Hao already knew it in his heart.It's just that neither father nor son said it clearly, but his father suddenly asked if Zhao Dongjian had been arrested, which surprised Zhou Hao.

Everyone knows what the situation in the countryside is, but the uproarious things that are spread outside probably have no reaction to the countryside.Unless it is someone related to the village, it may cause a sensation.

"Dad, how did you know about this?" Zhou Hao asked.

"I went to town today and read what the newspaper said. You said that, it seems that that bastard has really been punished!"

Listening to his father talking bitterly on the phone, Zhou Hao was not very happy.He actually didn't want his father to know that there was such a person as Zhao Dongjian, but he couldn't stop him if he knew, so he said with a smile: "Dad, the matter is over, let's forget about it."

Zhou Linshan sighed a long time on the phone, but after the sigh, he was silent for a long time, which made Zhou Hao unable to help saying: "Dad, why don't you talk anymore."

"Oh, there's nothing to say, it's not too early, you and Xiaoman should go to bed early!" After saying this, Zhou Linshan hung up the phone on his own initiative.

Zhou Hao heard the "beep" sound in his ear, after all, he still couldn't muster up the courage to tell his father that he was alone now.But his father didn't ask. If he asked, Zhou Hao might not hide it anymore.

Seeing that Zhou Hao didn't say anything, Xu Jingqiu on the side subconsciously let go, and said, "Zhou Hao, I don't think you should take it too seriously. Choose a good time to take the initiative to talk to your uncles and aunts, so that they won't ask when the time comes." You are more passive."

"Well, we'll talk about it when the time comes. Well, you should go to rest early too, good night!"

Zhou Hao went straight back to his room after saying that. Lying on the bed, he was full of thoughts about how to tell his parents that he was divorced.But after thinking about it for a while, he fell asleep, and got up the next morning as usual and took Xu Jingqiu to the company to work.

Just like the previous few days, there was no disturbance at all, and even the employees in the company seemed to have gotten used to the sudden addition of a woman like Xu Jingqiu by his side.

Chapter 381

After arriving at the station on the only direct bus in the town to the city, Zhou Linshan and Zhang Yuping became a little confused.

Elderly people don't know the convenience of the Internet, and they don't know that mobile phones can also play a great role in inquiry.It was not easy to go to the village to ask other people when we came here, but now that we arrived at the station, the old couple began to have trouble with where the prison is.

In desperation, the old couple ate noodles in a noodle shop and began to ask the boss how to get to the prison.The owner of the noodle shop is also a good talker, telling the old couple to take the 42 bus.However, the bus does not go directly to the prison, but a stopover.

After hearing that these old couples were very grateful to the hotel owner, they waited for the No. 42 bus at the stop sign opposite the station.When the car arrived, the old couple finally squeezed into the car under the crowd, but they met two good-hearted students who gave up their seats.

Otherwise, the bus fare of six yuan is enough to make the legs of the old couple weak.

In the car, Zhang Yuping's hands were clenched all the time, she was very nervous.But not all because of Zhao Dongjian, but also because of Zhou Linshan.Since he came out of the house until now, Zhou Linshan has never had a good face.

Naturally, Zhang Yuping didn't dare to blame Zhou Linshan, it was all her fault, so how could she blame her wife.Zhou Linshan can agree to let her see Zhao Dongjian, she is already satisfied.

Finally, more than an hour and a half passed before the conductor on the bus reminded: "Haiyan Prison is here."

Haiyan Prison is the only prison in Haishi, and Zhao Dongjian should be here without accident.

After getting out of the car, the old couple walked outside the gate of the prison, but were quickly stopped by the prison guards and asked, "You two old people, what are you doing here?"

"Comrade police, we are here to visit the prison, and I have relatives inside!" Zhang Yuping said hastily.

The prison guard looked at the old couple after hearing the words, and then took them to an office, and soon someone came to meet them and said, "You want to visit the prison?"

"Yes."

"Well, then who do you want to see?"

"Zhao Dongjian."

When Zhang Yuping said Zhao Dongjian's name, the face of the interviewer changed slightly.Zhao Dongjian was indeed imprisoned here, and he was considered a big man, how could he not know as a prison staff.

But the person who came to visit Zhao Dongjian should be a famous person in Haishi, and these two old people must have come from the countryside.

The staff didn't look down on the country people, but they were just curious and asked, "Then what's the relationship between you and Zhao Dongjian? Do you have any relevant certificates or documents? Only relatives or guardians are allowed to visit the prison!"

"Ah? Comrade, I'm Dong Jian's aunt, and his aunt is my good friend. It's just that his mother is gone, so I'll come to see him! Comrade, can I not go in even if I am his aunt?" Zhang Yuping became anxious, She couldn't produce any certificates or documents to prove that she was a relative of Zhao Dongjian.But it took a lot of trouble to come here, do you want him to go back like this?

The staff member was also a little embarrassed, and said: "Auntie, we also act according to the rules and regulations. If you are not a relative of Zhao Dongjian, we will not let you see him."
