Chapter 808: Chapter 807: In a Dilemma!
Lu Zheng was unable to express his opinion to his grandfather who had just been discharged from the hospital; he could only wait for his wife to return and have a heartfelt conversation with her.
At the same time, he also understood that he could not judge the actions of his grandfather or mother as right or wrong.
"You’re back!" Lin Xia returned from outside and saw Lu Zheng at home, unable to hide her happy expression.
No matter how strong and fearless she appeared during ordinary times, she often hoped that Lu Zheng could be by her side.
Even if he did nothing, said nothing, just pure companionship was enough.
The trivial matters of daily life in marriage, though mundane, required the participation of another person.
But Lin Xia couldn’t bring herself to ask Lu Zheng.
"Hmm!" Lu Zheng picked up Keke, walked over to Lin Xia and asked with concern, "Honey! Why are you back so late?"
Lin Xia smiled and explained, "The factory needed to urgently dispatch some goods! So I got delayed a bit!" She greeted Shao Chengzhi and then said to Lu Zheng, "I’ll go wash my hands!"
"Go ahead!" Lu Zheng’s gaze followed her.
Lin Xia washed her hands and returned to the living room.
Jingjing, who had been playing with toys next to Shao Chengzhi, saw Lin Xia and climbed down from the sofa, wobbling over to her, stretching out his small arms, "Mommy! Hold me!"
Lin Xia couldn’t help but laugh, lovingly brushing her son’s small nose, "Did you miss Mommy?"
"Yes!" Jingjing’s childlike voice was particularly pleasant, and Lin Xia joyfully picked him up and kissed his little face twice.
Though Jingjing and Keke were still young, and Lu Zheng didn’t come home often, they were still very fond of their father.
However, Lu Zheng treated his son and daughter differently. Usually, he held his daughter when he came home, while his son had to watch them.
Sometimes, Shao Meirou and Lin Xia would also complain about his strictness towards Jingjing.
Since Shao Chengzhi and Lu Pengcheng were also in the living room, Lu Zheng and Lin Xia conversed normally, without saying too many longing words, but there were still emotional glances exchanged.
The two of them thought they were hiding their affectionate glances well, making Shao Chengzhi and Lu Pengcheng stifle their laughter.
Lu Pengcheng was now content with his grandchildren. Seeing his son and daughter-in-law’s good relationship made him very happy.
Who wouldn’t want their family members to be harmonious and their home filled with warmth and love?
Shao Chengzhi watched his grandson and granddaughter interact and suddenly remembered a sentence his youngest son had said that day.
He had asked why Shao Chengzhi supported Lin Xia and Lu Zheng being together in the past, but strongly opposed when it came to Liang Wei.
After some reflection over the past few days, Shao Chengzhi found himself in a bit of a quandary.
He considered himself a relatively open-minded father, and his children often willingly communicated with him.
But, regarding his youngest son and Liang Wei, had his response been too extreme this time?
During those days in the hospital, he had witnessed his once high-spirited and carefree youngest son become depressed and haggard.
After National Day, when his youngest son left, Shao Chengzhi could tell he was very unhappy.
Could it be that due to some worldly concerns, he was condemning his youngest son to live the rest of his life in regret and sorrow?
"Dad! It’s time to eat!"
Shao Meirou’s voice calling them to eat pulled Shao Chengzhi out of his daze.
Shao Meirou gently smiled, "Hurry and wash your hands, get ready to eat! Today’s meal is especially sumptuous! I’ve made everyone’s favorite dishes!"
Lin Xia and Lu Zheng exchanged smiles and said in unison, "Thanks, Mom!"
"Mom, you’ve worked hard!"
Shao Meirou laughed, pointing at them, "You two must be like honey, so sweet with your words!"
She was pleased with her son and daughter-in-law’s good relationship.
She wasn’t like other mothers-in-law who felt jealous of their sons being good to their wives and thus caused trouble.
At dinner, Lin Xia and Lu Zheng sat next to each other.
Keke sat on Lu Zheng’s lap letting her father feed her, while Jingjing, being more independent, sat in a specially made high chair, eating soft, cooked porridge by himself.
After dinner, Shao Meirou proactively arranged for Jingjing and Keke to be taken to their room to sleep, along with Lu Pengcheng, to leave space for their son and daughter-in-law to be alone.
Back in their room, Lu Zheng and Lin Xia could finally relax and express their intimacy and longing freely.
Lu Zheng gently kissed Lin Xia’s hair, "Honey! Did you miss me?"
"Of course I missed you! I wish for you to come back every day!" Lin Xia turned around and hugged him.
No matter how strong she appeared, she still quietly yearned for his warm embrace to give her comfort.
Lu Zheng lovingly rubbed Lin Xia’s delicate ear, "I noticed you’ve become thinner!"
Lin Xia shook her head, "Not at all! I didn’t think so!"
Lu Zheng measured with his hand, taking advantage of the moment, and Lin Xia laughed uncontrollably when he touched her ticklish spots.
Finally alone, the couple naturally seized the moment to be affectionate.
Afterwards, they didn’t rush to sleep, but cuddled together and chatted.
Lin Xia snuggled closer, finding a comfortable position.
Lu Zheng gently stroked her cheek, couldn’t get enough, and kissed her twice more, "Honey! Did grandpa’s illness wear you out?"
Lin Xia shook her head slightly, "Not at all! I stayed at home looking after our two children and cooking! The most exhausted person must be my uncle! Those few days, he stayed in the hospital taking care of grandpa without leaving his side!
When grandpa was discharged, he seemed to have lost weight! Did grandpa talk to you about my uncle’s situation before I came home?"
After she returned home, nobody in the family brought up her uncle’s situation, but she felt that Lu Zheng must have known.
Lu Zheng rubbed his throbbing temples. "Yes! He told me! Grandpa said that mom and aunt went to see Liang Wei and told me he opposed uncle being with Liang Wei... I’m really upset about mom and aunt visiting Liang Wei.
To be honest, Liang Wei is innocent. It’s uncle pursuing her. What has Liang Wei done wrong! Why go and see her?
But as the younger generation, seeing grandpa’s still poor health, I couldn’t say anything."
Lu Zheng indeed felt very conflicted, torn between his family and the wife and child left behind by his friend.
Originally, he couldn’t accept his uncle pursuing Liang Wei, but since his uncle had done several impressive things, Lu Zheng gradually became more accepting.
Doesn’t everyone have the right to pursue happiness? Uncle does, and Liang Wei does too!
Unexpectedly, his softened attitude didn’t help, in the end, his grandfather remained the biggest obstacle.
"Yes! I also feel Liang Wei is very innocent! She hasn’t even agreed yet and mom and aunt... sigh! Liang Wei even talked to me these past few days. She said she understands uncle’s difficulties and considers our family’s opposition natural.
She said if this happened to Wenfeng, her response might be even more intense. Liang Wei is such a good woman, it’s a pity..." Lin Xia felt regretful, but there seemed no solution for now.
