Chapter 153 Human Heart
Chang Yuanliang put down his hand dejectedly, "Xiaoying, your mother has been gone for so many years, don't let her feel uneasy."
"Yes," Chang Ying swallowed the sob in her throat, "You are right, so it is best for everyone to live their own lives and not disturb each other. But don't worry, it is difficult to repay a favor, and when you are old and need support, I will not abandon my obligations."
The corners of Chang Yuanliang's mouth kept moving. He placed his hands on the table, slowly stood up with the support of the table, and began to walk out. When he was about to reach the door, he stopped and said word by word, "As you wish!"
"Dad," Chang Ying called out, and said softly, "Take care of yourself in the future."
In the end, Chang Yuanliang said nothing, opened the door and went out.
Cui Wenquan and Cui Changjia were walking in front of the office. When they saw Chang Yuanliang come out, they walked towards him.
"Brother Quan, I have something else to do, so I'll leave first. I won't come over to eat dumplings tomorrow."
"I'll ask your sister-in-law to bring you some raw food and cook it for tomorrow morning." Cui Wenquan then said to Cui Changjia, "Jia Jia, accompany your uncle Chang for a walk."
Cui Wenquan slowly dragged his legs towards the cafeteria.
Cui Changjia said to Chang Yuanliang apologetically, "Uncle Chang, I'm sorry, it was me who didn't let Chang Ying talk to you about opening a store."
Chang Yuanliang was filled with anger, "Cui Changjia, am I not good enough to you? Haven't I helped you enough? Do you have to watch Chang Ying and I become alienated before you are satisfied?"
"Uncle Chang, you have spared no effort to help us, and we will always be grateful to you, but this is different from what happened between you and Chang Ying, and the two are not contradictory!"
"Isn't it contradictory?" Chang Yuanliang said sternly, "Chang Ying is about to break off relations with me. She is my biological daughter, the flesh and blood of my body. We have come to this point today, and you still tell me that there is no contradiction, Cui Changjia, how can this not be contradictory!"
Chang Yuanliang had never been so angry before. He felt guilty for abandoning the Cui family after Cui Wenquan was admitted to the ICU, so he spared no effort to help Cui Changjia. In the end, she was so cruel that Chang Ying and he became estranged!
Cui Changjia smiled and said, "Yes, you also know that she is your flesh and blood, so why don't you trust Chang Ying between her and Aunt Zheng?"
Chang Yuanliang clenched his fists, "You are Chang Ying's friend, of course you will side with her!"
"So Aunt Zheng is your bedmate. Even if there is a recording, you still think Aunt Zheng did nothing wrong, right?"
"Cui Changjia, you are so outrageous!"
"Uncle Chang, this is not the only time I've been unruly," Cui Changjia said in a gentle voice, "Calm down, really, Chang Ying doesn't want to break off relations with you, she really just doesn't want you to be so entangled in the relationship between her and Aunt Zheng. Now that Chang Ying can be independent and no longer has to face Aunt Zheng, she is relaxed, you are relaxed, and everyone is relaxed, so why not do it? Don't you agree?"
Chang Yuanliang stared at Cui Changjia, "Cui Changjia, I hope you really think so!"
Cui Changjia asked back, "Then what reason do I have to sow discord between you and Chang Ying and make Chang Ying unhappy?"
Chang Yuanliang stopped talking.
Cui Changjia said sincerely, "Uncle Chang, a journey of a thousand miles will reveal a person's true character. Let's wait and see if I really have the intention to stir up trouble, and if Aunt Zheng really has true feelings for Chang Ying. No matter what the truth is, I really hope that our lives will be fine, really!"
The door of the cafeteria opened, and Jiang Hongying came out with Cui Wenquan holding a curtain.
Chang Yuanliang also saw it, and he said to Cui Changjia, "If it's not what you said, you have to apologize to me!"
Cui Changjia said firmly, "Okay, Uncle Chang, if I am biased, I will kowtow to you!"
In this life, she must protect Chang Ying. No one can let her suffer, not even her father!
"Liangzi, take these back and Yuehong won't need to prepare any more. This blanket is enough for you to eat." Jiang Hongying said as she held a blanket of wrapped dumplings. "Half of them are your carrot and meat residue, and the other half are meat. Ask Auntie to cook them separately tomorrow."
"Hey, sister-in-law, give it to me." Chang Yuanliang took it with both hands.
Jiang Hongying instructed, "Drive slowly on the way back so as not to get bumpy." "Okay."
Chang Yuanliang carefully placed the curtain in the trunk and drove away.
As soon as he left, Cui Wenquan said to Cui Changjia seriously, "Jiajia, you did the wrong thing. You shouldn't have let Chang Ying's father not know that her bakery was open!"
"Dad, you don't have to speak up for Uncle Chang," Cui Changjia sneered, "He is blind and heartless, he deserves it!"
Jiang Hongying reached out from behind Cui Changjia and slapped her, "How can you talk about your elders behind their backs like that?"
"Mom, you scared me to death," Cui Changjia was most afraid of someone patting her from behind, "Can you please stop hitting me from behind?"
"Don't worry about it," Jiang Hongying said to Cui Wenquan, "He deserves it. When Chang Ying first came to Zhoucheng, she didn't even have a decent cotton-padded jacket in the middle of winter. Zheng Yuehong pretended to be blind and Chang Yuanliang didn't even say a word. Come on, go roll out dough for me!"
Cui Wenquan was taken away by Jiang Hongying.
Cui Changjia went to the office to find Chang Ying.
Chang Ying was pouring herself some tea, her face looking calm.
Cui Changjia looked at her and pretended to be surprised and said, "Hey, weren't you angry? How come you calmed down so quickly?"
"Oh, just pretend."
Cui Changjia handed over his teacup and deliberately instructed Chang Ying, "Come, pour me a cup."
"Don't you have hands? Pour it yourself!"
The next day was the winter solstice, and early in the morning I could hear the sound of firecrackers everywhere outside.
When Cui Changjia brought Uncle Sheng from the old factory to eat dumplings, the factory was setting off firecrackers and preparing to cook dumplings.
Cui Xiuyuan had been waiting at the factory for a long time. After Cui Changjia parked the car, he came over and helped Uncle Sheng down.
Uncle Sheng pushed Cui Xiuyuan away and said with a smile, "No need to help me. It's not time for you to help me yet."
"Second brother!" Cui Wenquan hurried forward.
Jiang Hongying often went to see Cui Ersheng, but Cui Wenquan had never been there once.
Cui Ersheng saw Cui Wenquan was startled, then laughed and said, "That's not bad, it's not a problem, Wenquan, things will change over time, we can still turn things around tomorrow!"
Cui Wenquan was both excited and moved. Most of his acquaintances looked at him with regret, but they all thought of his lame second brother as a good person!
"Hey!" Cui Wenquan responded, "Second brother, let's go eat dumplings! We must let Lao Zhang drink with you today!"
The Chang family is also cooking dumplings.
Zheng Yuehong, Chang Xiao and Chang Hui watched Chang Yuanliang setting off firecrackers in the yard. She was in a particularly good mood because at least Chang Ying, the eyesore, was no longer there.
