Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

Jiang Changyi stopped abruptly and mumbled, "I'd better go out first!"

After saying that, she hurriedly pushed Jiang Weiguo away and quickly walked outside.

Jiang Weiguo frowned, his face darkening, and said to Lin Wangshu in a harsh voice, "How can you be as immature as Yafei?"

Before Yafei could even get angry, Jiang Weidong put down his luggage, stood up straight, and asked him, suppressing his anger, "What's wrong with her? Can't you talk to her nicely, brother?"

The air suddenly filled with the smell of gunpowder. Jiang Weimin noticed it, glanced at his two older brothers, and silently sat down to the side.

Yafei didn't dare to speak either, but she glanced at Jiang Weidong with some surprise. She thought her second brother was as heartless as her eldest brother!

Ya Ning, however, spoke up quietly, "Big brother, why don't you come in first? Doesn't big sister have something to say?"

Jiang Weiguo walked in, rubbing his temples wearily. He hadn't expected Jiang Weidong to misunderstand him either, so he could only patiently persuade him, "This isn't his fault. He looks quite pitiful. Why make him feel so embarrassed?"

“You didn’t see it, he’s timid and hesitant at home, he doesn’t dare to touch anything, all he does is work, afraid that we will look down on him, like a servant.”

"Moreover," Jiang Weiguo paused before continuing, "this is already a fact, and if you continue like this, it will make your father feel bad too."

He thought that by explaining the reasoning clearly and thoroughly, his younger siblings would finally understand.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Weidong remained silent, simply sitting with his arms crossed next to Lin Wangshu, his expression showing no sign of easing.

Lin Wangshu sneered and clapped his hands, saying sarcastically, "Well done, Jiang Weiguo, you really are Jiang Changyi's good younger brother and the Jiang family's good son. You've really thought things through. I just wonder if you've thought about your mother?"

Jiang Weiguo realized she was being sarcastic and frowned, asking her, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Weidong couldn't help but ask him, "Where's Mom? Where did she go?"

Jiang Weiguo looked somewhat embarrassed and covered his lips with his fist, saying, "Our mother can't accept it right now, so she should have gone back to Qingdao."

"She went back to Qingdao. Do you know how she got back?" Lin Wangshu walked up to him, looked him in the eyes and questioned him, her eyes burning with rage.

“She came back crying! When I saw her, she was sobbing in Weidong’s arms. She suffered such a great injustice, did you, as her son, ask her about it? Did you comfort her?”

Lin Wangshu felt a pang of sadness whenever she thought of An Jie's aggrieved expression. Her eyes welled up with tears, and her voice trembled as she spoke.

Upon hearing this, Yafei burst into tears, sobbing, "My poor mother! I'll kick Jiang Changyi out right now!"

Ya Ning couldn't hold back her tears either. Seeing that Ya Fei was about to rush out, she quickly stopped her and said, "Sister, let me finish what I have to say!"

Jiang Weiguo was speechless, utterly bewildered, and said, "How could that be? Why is Mom crying..."

"How could I not? Let me tell you, the person I'm most angry about isn't Jiang Changyi, but you. As your mother's son, when something happens, you don't know how to side with her. You treat that outsider more kindly than your father treats him, don't you?"

"Why did Mom leave? It's because Yafei was the only one in the family who sided with her. Jiang Weiguo, you can't even protect your mother, what kind of soldier are you? I think you're not even as good as you were back then!"

That was too serious. Jiang Weidong saw that his older brother's face had turned pale, so he quickly tugged at Lin Wangshu's clothes to signal him. Lin Wangshu looked at Jiang Weiguo's disheveled appearance, snorted, and turned her head away, at least not provoking him anymore.

Jiang Weidong walked up to Jiang Weiguo and patted him on the shoulder. "Brother, don't blame Wang Shu for saying such harsh things. Today, Mom was crying on my shoulder, saying she couldn't stay at home anymore. You have no idea how heartbroken I was. I've never seen her so sad before. I felt like killing someone!"

Jiang Weiguo's eyes reddened, and he looked completely helpless. As soon as he opened his mouth, tears streamed down his face. "Weidong, I... I didn't expect Mom to be so heartbroken. I just didn't want that person to be embarrassed. If I had known, I would never have..."

"Brother, you don't need to pity him. It's still uncertain whether he's even Dad's son!" Jiang Weidong said directly, his eyes looking at the door with a chilling gaze.

"What!" Jiang Weiguo raised his head, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at him, his heart churning with anger.

"Fine, I knew this person had bad intentions!" Yafei gritted her teeth in hatred. This person had turned her home into a mess, and she was a fake!

“But he looks so much like our dad…” Jiang Weimin said hesitantly, sitting on the bed.

"The truth will out, and the lie will become the truth. Don't worry, he'll slip up sooner or later."

Lin Wangshu didn't want the three younger children to know who Jiang Changyi's biological father was right now. They were too young to hide it from others, and besides, she didn't have any evidence at the moment.

Jiang Weiguo knew that Lin Wangshu had always been resourceful and that she would definitely have a solution, so he said to her with a guilty conscience, "Wangshu, whatever you say, I'll listen to you."

Lin Wangshu nodded, and seeing Jiang Weiguo's regretful expression, she couldn't bear it and comforted him, "There are no parents in the world who blame their children. Your mother won't blame you."

Jiang Weiguo lowered his eyes and said painfully, "I neglected my mother's feelings, so it's understandable that she resents me."

Helpless, Lin Wangshu returned to the room An Jie had prepared for her. Stroking the new quilt, still smelling of sunshine, she knew that An Jie had been looking forward to this reunion for a long time, but unfortunately…

Yafei leaned in and said to Lin Wangshu, "Big sister, you don't know, Mom started packing a few days ago. She said you've suffered outside, and this room is only for you to live in by yourself. Jiang Changyi is sharing a room with Big Brother and Weimin!"

Lin Wangshu smiled, took everything out of her bag and put it on the bed, then waved to Yafei and said, "My friend asked me to bring you a lot of delicious food. Come and choose first, and then give the rest to Ya Ning and Wei Min."

Although Yafei muttered that I'm not a child anymore, her body betrayed her and she started picking at the food. These were all specialties of Jiangcheng, and she had never seen many of them before!

When Jiang Defu returned home and found that Jiang Weidong and Lin Wangshu had come back, his face, which had been gloomy for several days, finally showed a smile.

When Dehua found out, he left Lao Ding at home and came over to cook some good dishes to welcome them back.

The table was already full of dishes, but Dehua was still busy in the kitchen. Jiang Changyi just kept his head down, hunched over, eating the food in front of him. He looked extremely pitiful.

Jiang Weiguo's attitude towards him had turned cold, and Jiang Defu wouldn't even speak to him anymore. He said to Lin Wangshu with a heavy heart, "Dad is sorry. I finally came back, but I can't even enjoy the holiday properly."

Lin Wangshu knew he was also feeling aggrieved, so she quickly put some food on his plate and shook her head, saying, "Don't be like that, it's not your fault."

Whose fault was it? Lin Wangshu didn't say, but Jiang Changyi lowered his head even further, and even the sound of him eating became much quieter.

Jiang Defu sighed deeply, his face showing worry again. He ate his food without tasting it and remained silent.

Lin Wangshu nudged Jiang Weidong with her leg, gesturing for him to go to the kitchen to find Dehua. Jiang Weidong remembered what she had told him, put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to find Auntie and we can eat together."

Upon entering the kitchen, Dehua was still busy, so Jiang Weidong sat down to help her operate the bellows.

"Why aren't you eating? What are you doing here?" Dehua saw him come in and quickly shooed him out.

"Oh, Auntie, I haven't seen you in so long, I just want to spend more time with you."

Dehua was pleased to hear this and smiled with satisfaction, "Alright, let's have a good talk."

"Auntie, do you think that person is really my dad's son?" Jiang Weidong asked, staring intently at Dehua as he worked the bellows.

Dehua paused, looked down at him, and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

"I just don't think it looks like it."

Dehua was pouring the vegetables into the pot when he heard this and laughed, "Yafei also said that he looks like your father!"

Jiang Weidong muttered nonchalantly, "Maybe it's because his dad looks like my dad?"
