Chapter 1161: Right and Wrong
The newly hired two domestic helpers are both of Asian descent, they can both understand Mandarin. Now, Rong Daniang primarily devotes her energy to taking care of the three children, leaving the specific tasks to the two helpers.
Wei Jun came back that day with a rather bad complexion and sought out Luo Qiao: "Sister-in-law, I want to make a trip back to the country."
Luo Qiao stopped what she was doing: "Did something happen?"
Wei Jun wiped his face: "Yesterday in New York, I ran into an old acquaintance by chance. He told me about some things, and I think I must go back and deal with them personally."
As it turned out, Wei Jun had encountered an acquaintance in New York the day before. That person told him his ex wasn’t doing well; she seemed to have been kicked out by her in-laws two months ago, and one of the children has contracted a serious illness.
Her own family wouldn’t allow her to visit either, and now she’s living a particularly miserable life. Wei Jun almost had a breakdown on the spot after hearing this.
The story sounded quite dramatic. The ex-girlfriend Wei Jun knew was called Xia Shanmei. Her family and Wei Jun’s were neighbors, and the two of them had been involved for a long time.
Both families had tacitly accepted their relationship and planned to propose marriage and prepare for the wedding after the New Year. However, the young couple eventually consummated their relationship the day before Wei Jun’s leave ended.
Under normal circumstances, since they were getting married after the New Year, it wasn’t something intolerable. But the problem was, Xia Shanmei’s mother was greedy for money.
Only the two families knew about the affair between the Wei and Xia families. Yet, right after the New Year, an engagement intermediary visited the Xia household with a handsome dowry offer, mainly because the suitor was a permanent employee at a water supply company.
Xia Shanmei’s mother was swayed, thinking it was better to marry a man with a stable job than a soldier. She did it for her daughter’s sake. Initially, Xia Shanmei disagreed and clashed with her family.
