Parents' Love: My Childhood Sweethearts with Jiang Weidong

Xu Hong paused in wiping away her tears, looked up at Jiang Weimin, and remained silent, pondering whether his words were true or false.

Jiang Weimin's heart pounded as she stared at him; this was a turning point in his life! Whether he could fool Xu Hong depended on his acting skills.

Jiang Weimin's expression became even more sincere. "Xiao Hong, what I said is true. If you keep crying, other people will come in. If those gossipy women see this, who knows what they'll say about it outside!"

Xu Hong wavered. She had never really agreed with her brother's method of "catching them in the act." If they were seen together, wouldn't she be considered a slut?

How could she possibly stay in Shixia Village after this? Everyone's spit would drown her.

No matter how vain Xu Hong is, she is still a young girl and still cares about her image!

If you can achieve your goal without damaging your reputation, why not do it?

Jiang Weimin pressed on, saying shyly and hesitantly, "Actually, I've liked you for a long time. You're so beautiful, but because my family isn't here, that's why..."

"My sister has come to see you now, and she's very satisfied with you, so I've been planning to confess my feelings to you for a while now!"

Jiang Weimin used all his skills, speaking with utmost sincerity, afraid that Xu Hong wouldn't believe him.

Xu Hong felt a little smug. She also thought she was pretty, so why should she listen to her brother's self-degrading words?

Although she believed it in her heart, she still put on a tough front, saying, "You said it yourself, so come with me to get the marriage certificate now."

Jiang Weimin nodded repeatedly, "Of course, of course!"

A faint blush finally appeared on Xu Hong's face. "Then hurry up and give me the documents. My brother will be bringing people in soon when it's light!"

Jiang Weimin broke out in a cold sweat. These brother and sister were too ruthless!

However, he still had to remain calm on the surface, and said in a troubled tone, "This... I don't have the documents!"

"What? Jiang Weimin, you're not playing me, are you?" Xu Hongliu raised her eyebrows and questioned him harshly.

"I don't have it! My ID is with my second grandmother! You wait here, I'll go get it from her right now!"

Jiang Weimin hurriedly explained, and then started to walk out.

"No!" Xu Hong called out to him, "You can't go, I'm going to find her."

Jiang Weimin was somewhat disappointed; he had thought he could take this opportunity to escape!

"My second grandmother doesn't acknowledge you. Do you think she would give you anything? Xu Hong, you don't actually want to marry me, do you?"

Jiang Weimin turned the tables on her, asking her in a suspicious tone.

Xu Hong choked, pacing back and forth in the room, unable to make a decision for a long time.

The light outside the window was getting brighter and brighter, and Jiang Weimin couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Xiao Hong, if we get caught in the act, we'll lose face, and my dad won't care about me anymore."

"Anyway, I have six children in my family, and I'm the one my parents dislike the most. So I'll have to stay here for the rest of my life."

As Jiang Weimin spoke, he even revealed a slightly "shameless" smile, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from now on. You know I'm frail!"

Xu Hong was shocked. If that were true, wouldn't she have been raising a useless person for nothing?

Thinking about Jiang Weimin's usual lazy and gluttonous nature, she quickly said, "How about this, you leave your underwear here as collateral, and hurry back!"

Jiang Weimin was the best and most particular about his appearance; even his underwear had no patches, so everyone could tell it was his at a glance.

As long as he could get out of that door, Jiang Weimin would do anything. He immediately took off his underwear and left under Xu Hong's expectant gaze.

As dawn broke, Jiang Weimin hurried towards his second aunt's house, the wind he stirred up as he ran making his lower body feel chilly.

Jiang Weimin felt deeply humiliated. He forced back his tears and asked his second aunt for his identification documents. All his belongings were there, and he could leave immediately once he got them.

People in the countryside get up early. When Jiang Weimin arrived, Erda's daughter-in-law was feeding the chickens in the yard. When she saw him, she asked in surprise, "Weimin, why did you come to my house so early in the morning?"

Jiang Weimin didn't have time to reply to her. He asked anxiously, "Where is my second grandmother? I need to see her urgently."

Hearing the commotion, Aunt Er came out of the house. "Weimin, what happened? Tell me slowly."

Jiang Weimin took a deep breath and told them about how the Xu siblings wanted to extort money from him.

Upon hearing this, Aunt Erda slammed her cane on the ground in anger. "These two outsiders dare to bully the people of our village here. I'll teach them a lesson!"

Then, without hesitation, he said, "Weimin, you can't stay here. You have to leave immediately."

Jiang Weimin nodded; he thought so too.

"Okay, take your documents with you, and I'll give you some travel expenses. Don't take anything else, just go back to Qingdao right away!"

Jiang Weimin hesitated for a moment, then blushed and stammered out the story of Xu Hong taking his underwear.

Aunt Er laughed heartily, her wrinkles crinkling together. "Don't worry, I'll definitely protect your innocence, young man!"

Without delay, Jiang Weimin grabbed the hastily packed luggage that his second aunt had given him and headed straight for the village entrance, afraid that if he was a step too slow, he would be harassed by someone.

On the other side, Xu Hong waited anxiously in the house for Jiang Weimin to return, but he didn't come back.

Xu Qing had already arrived with his men. When he kicked open the door and found that only Xu Hong was inside, the smile on his face froze.

Those who came with him were all idle hooligans from the village. When Xu Qing told them that Jiang Weimin had bullied his sister, they said they would help Xu Qing teach Jiang Weimin a lesson, but they were really just there to watch the show.

Seeing Xu Qing stop, someone impatiently pushed him aside and eagerly stuck their head inside, "Jiang Weimin, you..."

His words stopped abruptly; there was no trace of Jiang Weimin in them at all!

Xu Hong never expected that her brother would call a group of men over. If she were really lying in bed in a disheveled state, wouldn't these men take advantage of her?

Xu Hong shouted angrily, "Get out, all of you get out!" After kicking them all out, she slammed the door shut.

These thugs, who had been kicked out, were naturally not going to let it go. "Xu Qing, are you playing us for fools? You want a beating?"

Xu Qing no longer cared about Jiang Weimin. He called him "father" and "grandfather" repeatedly and promised him many benefits before finally sending him away.

Entering the room, Xu Qing's face darkened as he looked at Xu Hong, who was crying loudly in a rough voice. "You still have the nerve to cry? I'm asking you, where is Jiang Weimin? Did you let him go?"

"He lied to me and ran away!" Xu Hong said, sobbing.

"Is there something wrong with your IQ? What did I tell you? How could you let him get away like this? I really want to slap you twice."

Xu Qing was furious, pointing at Xu Hong as if he was about to attack at any moment.

Xu Hong was frightened and shrank back, pointing to the underwear on the bed as an attempt to salvage the situation: "I told him to leave this with me as collateral."

Seeing what she was pointing at, Xu Qing's expression softened a bit. "This time, I'll make sure Jiang Weimin either marries you or makes his commander father give us something back!"

He didn't mind the dirt; he kept the underwear like a treasure, intending to use it as evidence to blackmail Jiang Weimin when he returned.

But soon, the door was kicked open again, and Aunt Er led a group of rural women to the door. After seeing the Xu siblings, she shouted to the people behind her.

"Everyone, look closely! These are the two people who bullied Defu's son. We have to stand up for the child!"
