Chapter 690 Night Visit, Wang Zhenzhu's Uncle
Chapter 690 Night Visit, Wang Zhenzhu's Uncle
Yao Qingnian didn't get any important information. She almost suspected that Wang Zhenzhu's child was really Yao Dongdong's. The aunt just said that she was at home on weekdays and didn't get close to other suspicious people except Yao Dongdong. The child couldn't be her paralyzed uncle's, right? He was paralyzed, how could he have a child? Yao Qingnian was amused by her own thoughts. She could think of anything to excuse Yao Dongdong. She stood there thinking for a while and went to find Lu Huaijin.
Not long after they walked away, Lu Huaijin just came back.
"How is it going? Have you found out any useful information?" Lu Huaijin asked.
"No, that auntie said that the one who has the closest contact with Wang Zhenzhu is my brother Yao Dongdong. It seems that I have to go back and ask him again and let him think about it carefully. If the child is really his, it will be difficult!"
"Don't jump to conclusions. I have made a discovery here."
"What discovery?"
"Uncle Wang Zhenzhu."
"What happened to her uncle? I just heard from their neighbors that he was a poor man. He raised Wang Zhenzhu and her brother with great difficulty. The matchmaker arranged a marriage for him, but on the way to the girl's house he accidentally fell and became paralyzed in bed."
"He is paralyzed in bed, but..." Lu Huaijin paused halfway through his speech.
"But what? Tell me quickly?" Yao Qingnian asked anxiously.
"But I see that Wang Zhenzhu treats his uncle differently."
"Unusual?"
"Well, I just went to the Wang family and found that there are indeed no outsiders coming to their house. There are only Wang Zhenzhu and her uncle Wang Wei. However, Wang Zhenzhu doesn't treat her uncle like a niece at all. Her behavior is too intimate, more like a husband and wife?" Lu Huaijin told what he saw.
"No way? Taking care of a paralyzed person requires you to do everything yourself. Isn't it normal to behave more intimately?" Taking care of people is troublesome enough, especially a paralyzed person. There seems to be nothing wrong with behaving more intimately, right?
"What you said makes sense. This is just my intuition. Moreover, I also found that her uncle treated her badly and had a look of displeasure in his eyes."
"Is there such a thing?" Yao Qingnian became interested.
"Yes." He nodded.
"Then wait until dark to go and have a look?"
"Follow the madam's arrangements." So the two decided to go to Wang's house at night. They walked around the area, then sat in the carriage to rest, ate something, and waited for dark.
In the evening, the villagers who had worked in the fields returned home one after another. After it was completely dark, Yao Qingnian and Lu Huaijin quietly came to Wang Zhenzhu's house, climbed onto the roof, took the tiles from the roof, and left a hole so that they could see her uncle lying on the bed and the situation in the yard. There was a dim light in her yard, and Wang Yu seemed not to have come back. Only Wang Zhenzhu and her uncle were at home. Wang Zhenzhu went into her uncle's house with food in her hands.
"Uncle, it's time for dinner." Wang Zhenzhu shouted after entering the room and came to the bedside with the food. Unexpectedly, Wang Zhenzhu's uncle Wang Wei turned his head to the other side and didn't want to pay any attention to her.
Wang Zhenzhu patiently called out, "Wang Wei, it's time to eat."
Wang Wei finally reacted. He turned around and shouted, "Don't call me that! It makes me sick! Take the food out! I don't want to eat it!"
"Uncle, even if you are angry with me, you still have to eat. Come, I will feed you." Wang Zhenzhu fed the rice to Wang Wei's mouth.
Wang Wei didn't eat it, but overturned the bowl with force.
Wang Zhenzhu squatted down silently, picked up the dishes and chopsticks, as if she had already gotten used to it, and turned to leave the house.
"Wang Wei is so ungrateful. His niece was so humble to bring him food, but he didn't appreciate it and got angry. He deserves to be paralyzed!" Yao Qingnian muttered a few words in a low voice.
"Madam, have you ever thought about why Wang Wei got angry?"
"That's true." Yao Qingnian said nothing more and continued to watch quietly.
After a while, Wang Zhenzhu brought in another meal.
"Uncle, stop making trouble. I know you don't like me, so I've thought it through. In a few days, I will marry someone else. When I leave home, your brother will take care of you." Wang Zhenzhu fed the food to his mouth again.
This time, Wang Wei still didn't eat it, but said, "Are you so kind that you suddenly come to your senses and let me go?"
"Well, I understand now. You have done so much for us, my sister and I. Although you are our uncle in name only, you are not much older than us. You are more like a brother to us. I can't be so selfish anymore."
"I really regret why I raised an ungrateful person like you regardless of everything. If I were given another chance now, I would definitely not care about you anymore. Now that you can think clearly and find someone to marry, it's great!"
"Uncle, do you have to talk to me like this?" Wang Zhenzhu's eyes were full of sadness.
"Do you want me to talk to you in a nice tone?"
"Uncle, I..."
"Okay, help me up. I can eat by myself. Although my lower body is paralyzed, my hands can still move."
"Okay." Wang Zhenzhu stepped forward and helped the person sit up.
Wang Wei picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started eating quickly. He seemed not to want to stay with Wang Zhenzhu any longer. After he finished eating, he put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Okay, I'm done, you can go out!"
"Let me massage your legs." Wang Zhenzhu wanted to massage his legs, but was rejected by Wang Wei.
"No need. When Wang Yu comes back, I will ask him to help me massage my legs. You can get out now! Since you are going to get married, put away those inappropriate thoughts of yours. Let the past be the past and live a good life with her."
"Uncle, are you really willing to let me go?" Wang Zhenzhu asked tentatively.
"Wang Zhenzhu, stop disgusting me and get out of here!" Wang Wei had just calmed down, but when he heard her say that, he couldn't help but curse again.
"Okay, I'm leaving! I'll go far away and never bother you again! Everything I do is for you!" After Wang Zhenzhu finished speaking, she covered her face and ran out.
Wang Wei watched her go out, with a helpless look on his face, and just sat there dejectedly.
After Yao Qingnian and Lu Huaijin came out of Wang Zhenzhu's house, they returned to the carriage. It was already late at night, and the two had to spend the night in the carriage. The moonlight was as dark as ink. Through the carriage curtain, they could see stars twinkling in the night sky. The chirping of crickets came from outside the carriage, which seemed a bit harsh in the dark night. Yao Qingnian took out some food and the two began to chat.
