Chapter 149 - Each Man for Himself (3)
Li Jianguo looked up at Zhu Hung and his eyes reddened. All she could think about at this point in time was whether she could stay out of it all? Would she really be able to take care of the family after he went to jail? He thought about his son who had just started grade school.
“Don’t worry, I will take all the blame and not drag you into this.”
Zhu Hung walked over to Li Jianguo, put her arms around his waist, and said in her tenderest voice, “I’m sorry, my husband. I just wanted what’s best for this family. I didn’t think this will happen. Don’t worry. I will take good care of the family and wait with our son for your return.”
Li Jianguo didn’t say a word. He walked over to the bedroom and gathered the deed, the bank deposit book, and household register before he said to Zhu Hung whose inside of the kitchen, “I am going to run an errand. I’ll be back shortly.”
“Dinner is almost ready. Where are you going?”
“I suddenly remembered that I have a friend who works at the station. I am going to see if he knows anything.”
Zhu Hung was unsuspecting. Mainly because Li Jianguo had always been obedient. She didn’t think he’d pull any stunt at this point.
After he walked out of the house, Li Jianguo touched the documents in his chest. His hands were shaking a little.
The house that they have rented to Shu Yan belonged to his parents. After he married Zhu Hung, she had always wanted to have the deed transfer over to their names. Father Li didn’t care one way or another, but Mother Li objected to it the entire time. Finally, they moved it under his son’s name. This current house that they have bought was under their names but Zhu Hung would not be able to sell it without the deed or the household register. They have 70,000 yuan in their bank account and he was going to bring the deposit book over to his parents. At this point in time, they were the only ones that he could trust.
When he arrived at his sister’s place, they were just cleaning up after dinner. Seeing the discomposed Li Jianguo, his sister sneered and was about to send him on his way with her broom.
“Mom, Dad, I was wrong. I am really done for this time,” said Li JJiangao as he dropped down onto his knees. Everybody was stunned by his action. His brother-in-law pulled his sister inside. As bad as Li Jianguo was, he was still the son of his in-laws. They wouldn’t be mad at him forever.
“What’s done for? What happened?” Father and Mother Li had made up their mind not to have anything to do with this son anymore but, seeing him like this now, their hearts ached again.
“I might be going to jail.” Li Jianguo slapped himself on his face and told them everything. “Mom, I worry that Zhu Hung would not be able to hold out on her own so I want to give these to you for safe keeping. And your grandson, don’t ever let him change his surname.”
Hearing that her son might be going to jail, Mother Li almost fainted. The rest of his words brought tears to her eyes. “I told you that Zhu Hung was a bad one but you wouldn’t listen to me. See what happens now? Zaizai is the Li’s descendent, of course he won’t change his surname. If Zhu Hung dare to get remarried with him, I will kill her and then commit suicide.”
“Why are we talking about these right now? What’s important was to figure out how to get our son out of the current situation.” Father Li was the calmer one. “Go make a confession right now. Tell them the truth and hope for a lighter sentence.”
“What have I don’t wrong?” Mother Li patted Li Jianguo on his back as she cried. “Your dad and I have been law-abiding citizens our entire lives and have always taught you and your sister to be upstanding people. And now you dare to commit such a crime just for money?” She sniffled and said, “Xiao mei, xiao mei, pack our things. Your dad and I are moving back to the back alley. Your brother is so pitiful to have married such a wife. I need to go back to take care of zaizai, my poor grandson!”
His sister, who was hiding behind the bedroom door, gritted her teeth in anger. “He’s the son after all. Nothing will ever change no matter how familial I am!”
