Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 1676 - 1677: Regret

Zhang Jisheng regretted it, regretted it like never before. If he hadn’t done such a reckless thing back then, would he not have divorced Qi Fenglian? Wouldn’t the family’s situation have been less dire now, and they wouldn’t have a seriously ill son waiting for them to sell their pots and pans to save him?

If he had silently kept working with the renovation team, and Qi Fenglian had also been working, even if they weren’t rich, wouldn’t their days have been harmonious and beautiful?

Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world, and this is the price he pays for his mistakes!

”...Selling the fields and house won’t be enough. If we sell them, what will us two old folks eat? Where will we live? Anyway, I refuse to agree!” Mother Zhang said angrily.

”Mom, that’s your grandson. If you disagree, are you just going to watch him die?” Zhang Jisheng said, holding back his anger.

Mother Zhang’s eyes flickered: ”He’s not my only grandson, and besides, you’re still young. If you can’t save him, just have another one.”

Zhang Jisheng felt a coldness in his heart, incredulously looking at his mother: ”You, what do you mean? Are you planning not to save Xiao Can?”

”Who has that much money, even borrowing all around isn’t enough. Having another one doesn’t cost that much!” Mother Zhang’s heart was uneasy, but she pretended to be calm as she spoke.

Zhang Jisheng said, ”You...I thought you loved Xiao Can so much, but that’s all it is!”

He laughed self-deprecatingly, the laughter was mournful with a tinge of mockery. He really had been so wrong.

Mother Zhang found his words extremely harsh, retorting sharply: ”I didn’t say anything wrong. Speaking of it, it’s all your fault, bringing such a wife into the house, giving birth to children who aren’t strong and healthy.”

”Mom. You’re the one who had a matchmaker introduce her, you always said she was good, a thousand times better than Fenglian.” Zhang Jisheng loudly said, ”If you hadn’t said so, how would I have married her?”

”Pah! Just because I said she was good, you took your pants off? Ultimately, you couldn’t hold yourself back, and now you blame me?”

The son and mother started to blame each other, their voices getting louder and louder.

”Enough!” Father Zhang suddenly slapped the table, saying: ”What’s the use of talking about this now? Better think of a way to gather money!”

”I can’t gather it!” Mother Zhang turned her head away: ”Even if you kill me, I don’t have that much money!”

Zhang Jisheng said with a dark face: ”I will definitely save this son, sell the family’s fields and land.”

”You’re crazy, your brother has a share in that too!” Mother Zhang said shrilly: ”No way, if you want a son, simply take Xiao Bao back.”

Even now she favored the younger brother, afraid he’d suffer a loss, bringing up Xiao Bao, mentioning that child always pained Zhang Jisheng’s heart, he said, ”You have the nerve to bring up Xiao Bao. He’s not coming back, and he’ll never return. This grandson, consider him gone, even if you die, he won’t come back to see you!”

Mother Zhang’s face changed: ”You...”

”Am I already considered dead!” Father Zhang shouted angrily again.

Only then both stopped talking.

”Eldest, even if we sell the fields, it won’t be enough, how can we treat him?” Father Zhang was deeply troubled, missing the healthy grandson and virtuous daughter-in-law, but sadly, it was all in the past.

”I’ll go beg, if that’s not enough, I’ll kneel, I’ll kneel until we get the money back!” Zhang Jisheng said through gritted teeth.

Father Zhang smoked in silence, glancing at Mother Zhang who was about to speak. After a while, he said: ”Then just sell it, but we can’t sell this house, it has to be kept for your mother and me to live in retirement. You all need a place to live too, you can’t stay in a barn.”

Mother Zhang stood up angrily and said: ”No, I absolutely disagree. If we sell it, your brother must get a share, can’t take it all!”

With that, she went back to the room, ignoring Zhang Jisheng and his father, and no one noticed the child hiding at the door.
