For fear of being scolded by his grandmother, Zhong Zhiyang used the heart-wrenching words like "not having a father" as a shield. What a bastard!

"Since you're so brave and think you're capable of being a good father, then stop relying on your family! I want to see how capable you are!"

Zhong Zhiyang was completely embarrassed after being exposed so bluntly by him.

Li Guixiang turned her face away and cried inconsolably. Because her son had died, she couldn't bear to blame Zhong Zhiyang.

But Zhong Heyang's action really turned the words Zhong Zhiyang had said to her into an invisible sharp blade, which deeply hurt her heart.

Zhong Xuexi quickly patted her grandmother's back. Seeing that she was in great pain, she choked with sobs, "Grandma... please don't cry..."

Zhong Zhiyang felt like something was scratching his heart and it hurt so much when he saw his grandmother crying so sadly.

Lin Ziqiu tugged at Zhong Heyang's sleeve, signaling him to stop talking. Saying one more word would only make grandma even sadder.

Zhong Heyang's expression relaxed and he stopped talking.

Lin Ziqiu quickly tried to smooth things over, "Oh, the food is getting cold, let's eat first!"

Tian Xiaofeng tugged at the corner of Zhong Zhiyang's clothes and signaled him with his eyes to sit down and eat.

Zhong Zhiyang remained unmoved. Instead, he knelt down in front of Li Guixiang with a plop, "Grandma, I'm sorry..."

Li Guixiang turned around and looked at her grandson in surprise, her throat full of pain, "You...you get up!"

"grandmother……"

Zhong Zhiyang kowtowed several times on the ground. When he looked up again, his forehead was red and swollen. He wiped his eyes and tears rolled down like a dam breaking.

"I did something wrong, I will take full responsibility and will never cause any more trouble to my family!"

After saying this, he stood up and left without looking back.

Li Guixiang stood up and wanted to chase him, but Zhong Heyang stopped her, "Grandma, let him go. He should be responsible for his own life. We can't protect him forever."

Everyone will grow old. If Zhong Zhiyang doesn't learn to take responsibility on his own, he will never grow up.

"Brother is right. Zhong Zhiyang will not be led by the nose again if he can see the true colors of Jiang Nianyue and her son. He will have his own judgment. We should try to trust him."

Zhong Xuexi pulled her grandmother to sit down and said, "Let's eat."

Li Guixiang's eyes were red from crying. Even though her children were trying to persuade her, she was still worried about Zhong Zhiyang.

Mr. Li put a dumpling in her bowl and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We are all old now, so we should enjoy our lives and not take on everything ourselves."

Li Guixiang came back to her senses and retorted, "You make it sound simple. I've seen you worry about Xiaoqiu a lot."

Mr. Li: "..."

Seeing that she was even thinking of arguing with others, everyone smiled in relief.

···

Willow Lane.

After Zhong Zhiyang ran away from home, he came here directly.

Jiang Guifang was cooking when she heard someone knocking on the door. When she opened it, she saw Zhong Zhiyang, who looked distraught. She couldn't help but frown, "What are you doing here again?"

"I want to have a good talk with her." Zhong Zhiyang's attitude was also very sincere.

But Jiang Guifang had no intention of letting Zhong Zhiyang in.

The neighbors have known Jiang Guifang for several years, but basically no one looks down on them and their daughter. Some even hope they move out soon, fearing that the men in their families will be seduced by those two vixens.

The houses in Liuxiang are small and damp, but there is no other way. In order to have a place to live, Jiang Guifang gave herself to the landlord and got a very cheap rent.

"Jiang Guifang, I advise you to quit while you're ahead. If a young man from a military compound can marry your daughter, it would be a great honor for your ancestors."

The aunt who lives next door often sees Zhong Zhiyang standing at the door these days, and she makes a few sarcastic remarks with the intention of watching a joke.

Jiang Guifang glared at her fiercely and waved the hand holding the kitchen knife at her, "Mind your own business!"

"Tsk! You really treat others as fools. You must be so happy in your heart that you can fly up to the tree and become a phoenix! And you are playing hard to get. Bah! Shameless!"

"you--"

Jiang Guifang was so angry that she wanted to chop her up.

The door was completely opened from the inside, and Jiang Nianyue walked out with her belly bulging. She glanced sharply at the gossipy woman across the street, "You must be terribly jealous, but it's a pity that you're old and ugly. Not only is your man disgusted, but even your son doesn't want to acknowledge you as his mother. How pathetic."

The man next door, who had originally had a smug look on his face, was now so choked that he couldn't utter a word.

I ran into the house and poured a basin of hot water across from them, "What bad luck!"

Jiang Guifang was splashed all over, but Jiang Nianyue dodged in time and was not affected.

She glanced at her mother and said, "Go change your clothes."

Jiang Guifang yelled at the man next door, "What a mad dog! Old Li, are you going to do anything about it?" The man next door's face turned pale. When she heard her husband's rough voice behind her, she turned around unwillingly, carrying the wooden bucket, and went into the house, slamming the door shut.

"Have you seen enough? If you have, get out!"

Jiang Nianyue growled at Zhong Zhiyang without any courtesy, not even giving him a spare glance.

Zhong Zhiyang chased after her and grabbed her wrist, "Can we talk about this?"

"What's there to talk about?"

Jiang Nianyue sneered, "You don't really think I'm playing hard to get with you, do you?"

Zhong Zhiyang frowned, "I don't have any."

Jiang Nianyue shook off his touch, "I have nothing more to say to you."

"Do you really have to be so heartless?" Zhong Zhiyang took a deep breath, trying his best to control his emotions and tried to persuade her, "Do you really want to see your child without a father in the future? Yes, you don't want to have anything to do with me anymore, but what about the child? How will he face other people in the future? He obviously has a father!"

A trace of sadness flashed across Jiang Nianyue's eyes, but she quickly raised her head and smiled indifferently, "So what? This is his fate."

Zhong Zhiyang couldn't hold it in any longer and growled in anger, "Jiang Nianyue! How could you be so selfish!"

"Selfish?"

Jiang Nianyue acted as if she had heard something funny. "You were the first to be heartless. You had so much food, but you only gave me a little bit. When a bowl of rice porridge a day was a luxury for me and the baby in my belly, where were you? Do you think you are qualified to be his father?"

"You do not deserve!"

Zhong Zhiyang clenched his fists, his eyes bloodshot, and he was filled with emotion. "Don't you just feel that I've let you down? Fine, as long as you're willing to give me the child, you can set any conditions!"

Jiang Nianyue covered her lower abdomen with her hands, her eyes full of vigilance, "Don't even think about taking my child away!" As she said that, she felt the baby in her belly kick her. She couldn't help but frown and took a breath.
