Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1421: Settling Down ( 4 )

Meanwhile, Father Wei and Mother Wei went to check the other two houses and found the houses' condition was worse than the first one.

While the location was nearer to the village, they couldn't move in directly. After they discussed it for a while, they finally made up their mind.

Father Wei turned to Han Jinhe and said, "Comrade Han, we will take the first house."

Han Jinhe nodded, wrote on the document, and replied, "Then, I will send the two of you to Comrade Chen Gang's house first."

"Thank you for your help, Comrade."

The three of them walked back to the village, and after almost forty minutes, finally arrived at Chen Gang's house. Before they even entered the house, Father Wei and Mother Wei already heard the cheerful laughter from inside.

Han Jinhe unloaded their luggage from his bicycle and said, "Comrade Wei, I will send the document regarding the house tomorrow afternoon at the latest."

"Okay, sorry for bothering you, Comrade Han," Father Wei replied with a smile.

Not long after Han Jinhe left, the gate was opened and Chen Gang greeted them with a smile. "In-laws, you are here. Please come in."

The Wei old couple was taken aback by his enthusiasm and could only return the smile while saying, "In-law, we apologize for not informing you before we came to visit."

Chen Gang waved his hands, helped them carry the luggage, and said, "In-law, we are family. So, there is no need to be so polite with each other. My wife and children just finished cooking lunch. Come in, we are only waiting for the two of you to eat together."

Under his urging, the Wei old couple could only enter the yard with awkward smiles.

After closing the gate, Chen Gang led them to the house as he said, "In-law, I heard from Mingze and Yuze about your visit and also learned that you plan to stay here for a long time."

"Since the house allocated to you needs some renovation, why not stay in my place first? When the house has been repaired, you can move out."

Father Wei was embarrassed by his hospitality and said, "That would be too troublesome for you and your family. We can just move into the house first and slowly repair it later."

Just when he said this, Wu Yahui came out from the kitchen holding a basket of steamed buns and heard his words. She looked at the old couple and said, "Uncle Wei, what's bothering and not bothering?"

"Those empty houses have been long abandoned, and there are a lot of places that need to be repaired. If you stay there, how can you repair it?"

"It is still better for you and Aunt Wei to stay here. We have prepared a room for the two of you, so just stay here with peace of mind," she added.

"This—" Mother Wei looked at her husband.

It's hard to reject enthusiastic people who greet you with smiles.

While the two of them were still hesitating, Wei Zhiying came out from the backyard while holding a tray of dishes. The moment she saw her parents, her eyes lit up, and her face was full of joy.

"Mother, Father!"

Seeing their daughter, Father Wei and Mother Wei were delighted and also felt sad. Their precious daughter never did any work at home, but as she lived here, she had to do the rough work and also wore those coarse clothes.

The old couple put down their suitcases and walked over to their daughter.

Wei Zhiying placed the tray of dishes on the small table at the balcony and ran toward her parents. It had been a month since she saw her parents, and the two of them were noticeably thinner.

As she hugged her parents, she said with teary eyes, "Mother, Father, I miss you so much!"

Hugging their daughter, Mother Wei also cried and said, "Mother also misses you so much, ah."

Seeing the family's reunion, Chen Gang was full of smiles and said, "In-laws, let's go inside first."

This time, the Wei old couple didn't refuse and went to the living room with their daughter. Not long after, Chen Mingze and Chen Yuze also came over.

When all the dishes were served, Chen Gang and his family sat around the table together with the Wei family. Since the table was too small to accommodate everyone, the dishes were divided in half, and the children sat at another table.

As they ate, Wei Zhiying asked, "Father, Mother, why didn't you inform me that you were coming? How have you been lately? Did the trip go smoothly?"

Mother Wei let out a sigh and replied, "Our family's assets have been confiscated by the government, and your father was removed from his position. Due to the bad record on your father's file, he won't be able to work for the government anymore. If not for Chen Bo, our family wouldn't be like this today."

After she said this, Father Wei pulled at his wife's sleeve, hinting at her to watch her words. Noticing her slip of the tongue, Mother Wei looked at Chen Gang's family embarrassedly.

Chen Gang let out a sigh and said, "In-law, it's all my eldest brother's fault for causing your family such big trouble. We apologize on his behalf."

After he said this, he lowered his head and gave them a deep bow.

The moment they saw this, the Wei family quickly stopped him, and Father Wei said, "In-law, how can we blame it on your family? This is all because I trusted the wrong person. It has nothing to do with your family."

Feeling the awkward atmosphere, Wu Yahui said, "Well, we can't change what happened in the past, but we can try to live better from now on."

After she said this, she scooped a bowl of fish soup for the Wei old couple and said, "In-laws, the two of you have traveled for a long time. Drink more fish soup to recover your energy."
