Chapter 307 Mother and Son, Completely Different
No one expected Wei Heping to suddenly appear.
Su Niannian guessed that Wei Heping must have waited at home for too long and his mother hadn't returned.
I came to check on things because I was a little worried.
As luck would have it, this is exactly what happened.
Su Niannian also expressed her deep helplessness.
But I've heard that Wei Heping is an honest person, maybe not as unreasonable as her mother?
The people present looked at each other, and indeed the scene was a bit awkward.
"My son, you've finally come! You must stand up for your mother! He, he, she, she... she's bullying your mother!!"
“My mother is a woman who has been ill for a long time. She has suffered a great injustice here.”
"That old woman Zhao even stole the fifty yuan I brought!" Wei Heping's mother cried to her son in her hoarse voice.
"Fifty yuan??" Wei Heping was stunned.
Did your mother bring any money with her? And a whole fifty yuan at that?
The dowry given to Zhao Tian by her family probably didn't amount to this much money, right?
When Wei Heping's mother saw the change in her son's expression, she knew that she had probably said something wrong.
My son's honest nature...
She hurriedly tried to open her mouth to explain, but... Zhao Tian's mother beat her to it.
Zhao Tian's mother told Wei Heping everything that had happened that evening.
To be fair, although Zhao's mother was a countrywoman, she did have some ability to summarize.
In just a few words, the cause, process, and result of the matter were all explained.
Wei Heping's face darkened upon hearing this.
It's getting darker.
He wasn't unaware of what kind of person his mother was; it was just that she was the mother who gave him life and raised him.
Moreover, Wei Heping could understand that Wei Heping felt that his father had passed away early and his mother had raised him with great difficulty, so he might have acted in a way that was considered petty and opportunistic.
Without his mother's knowledge, Wei Heping had secretly cleaned up a lot of messes for her.
However, he didn't let his mother know any of this, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable.
If it weren't for Wei Heping diligently cleaning up his mother's messes, she probably wouldn't have been able to survive in Kaoshan Village long ago.
Following Zhao's mother's advice, Wei Heping figured out most of the matter.
But what hurt Wei Heping the most was that Zhao Tian didn't plan to marry him.
Zhao Tian is going to marry the eldest son of the Gu family, a divorced, disabled man with a child.
Wei Heping helped his elderly mother up.
“Son, don’t listen to Granny Zhao’s nonsense, Mother… Mother…” Wei Heping’s mother still wanted to explain something.
But Wei Heping gestured for her to stop talking.
"Mother, I'll handle this. Please keep quiet for now," Wei Heping said to his mother.
The old hag wanted to continue, but when she saw her son's gloomy face, so dark it looked like it could drip water, she realized something was wrong.
He swallowed hard, deciding not to speak.
Wei Heping walked to a spot two steps away from Zhao Tian and spoke to her.
"Are you really not planning to marry me? I can promise to love you, take care of you, and not let you suffer or work hard in the future," Wei Heping asked Zhao Tian solemnly.
"Yes, I have someone I like, and I want to marry the person I like. Our marriage was a decision made for me by my mother without my knowledge."
"In my life, only I can make the decisions."
Zhao Tian looked serious and did not evade Wei Heping's questions. Instead, she spoke to Wei Heping clearly, word by word.
Very sincere, and without any concealment.
"Although what I said may have been a bit harsh or inappropriate, the eldest son of the Gu family is a divorced man with a three or four-year-old child, and he also has a leg injury..."
Wei Heping is indeed a good person, but he still wants to make one last effort.
“I don’t mind that he’s divorced and has a child. He has mobility issues, so I’ll take care of him. You don’t need to worry about him.” Zhao Tian didn’t allow Wei Heping to continue.
So I interrupted him.
Looking at Zhao Tian's serious face, Wei Heping knew that he really had no chance.
He nodded to Zhao Tiandian.
Then he turned to look at Zhao Tian's parents.
"Let's end tonight's farce here. If my mother did anything wrong, please forgive her. My mother cheated you out of money, and the Gu family fooled her, so we're even."
"Tomorrow, in front of the matchmaker and witnesses, we will cancel the marriage, return the betrothal gifts, and that will be the end of the marriage."
Wei Heping looked at Zhao Tian's parents and said.
Zhao Tian's parents exchanged a glance and nodded to Wei Heping.
"can."
"Tonight's situation is just a temporary measure, and we have no ill intentions."
“We impulsively arranged this marriage for Zhao Tian, and we were also at fault. We are willing to compensate you with five yuan,” Zhao Tian’s father said at this moment.
He thought five yuan was reasonable, considering that the marriage agreement had indeed been made and the Zhao family had gone back on their word.
Five yuan is something the Zhao family can afford.
"Forget about compensation, after all, the betrothal gifts were just given today, and we're calling off the engagement today."
"That's settled then. I'll take my mother home first," Wei Heping said, then went over to help his mother prepare to leave.
To be honest, Wei Heping's mother is still seething with anger.
She felt uneasy about losing the fifty yuan that she had already received.
However, seeing her son's gloomy expression...
Even if she still wanted to cause trouble, she felt she couldn't make a fuss anymore.
Helpless, he sighed and was helped out of the main room by Wei Heping.
As soon as they stepped out of the main room, Wei Heping's mother turned back and glared fiercely at Su Niannian.
Su Niannian didn't care at all, and just looked at Wei Heping's mother with a smile.
Seeing Su Niannian's smiling face, Wei Heping's mother felt even more annoyed.
But oh well, there will be plenty of opportunities to figure out how to deal with this little devil later.
Wei Heping used a flashlight to illuminate the area and left with his elderly mother.
Outside, there were also villagers watching the spectacle.
However, it was dark and there was no light, so no one inside the house noticed it.
After coming out, Wei Heping nodded to the villagers he saw.
But he didn't say another word.
He took his elderly mother with him and went home.
Inside the Zhao family's main room, the Zhao family members saw Wei Heping leave with his mother, and that he would find a matchmaker and witnesses tomorrow to cancel the engagement and return the betrothal gifts.
That's a perfect solution to the problem, and I can finally relax.
Zhao Tian's mother came to Su Niannian's side and took Su Niannian's hands in hers.
"Young Su, we really owe you a lot for today. If you hadn't been here, things would have been very difficult to handle tonight."
