Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1398

Chapter 1398: Last Option ( 2 )
Mother Wei looked at her grandsons, and after hesitating for a long time, she asked, “Zhiying, how about we contact the Chen family in Xie Village? Even if they can’t help us, they can at least help take care of Mingze and Yuze until the situation in the capital calms down.”

As soon as she said this, Chen Mingze said, “Grandma, I don’t want to go there. We have never had any contact with the Chen family. It’s impossible for them to agree to your request. What’s more, I don’t want to leave my mother, you, and Grandpa during this situation.”

“Grandma, I also don’t want to go there,” Chen Yuze chimed in.

At first, Father Wei hadn’t considered this option. But after he received information yesterday about the possibility of their family being sent to the reform camp, he didn’t think it was a bad idea.

Even if their family would be sent to the reform camp, as long as he could resolve the food shortage in the capital, he was confident that they could survive this ordeal.

While losing the reward was a pity, if he could use his merit to balance the wrongs and save his family and his own career, it was worth it.

But before that, their family would face a lot of difficulty. His daughter and grandsons had never experienced hardship since they were born, so how could they endure the difficulties working in the reform camp during this period?

After he considered the pros and cons, Father Wei said, “I will contact my friend and ask them to take care of Zhiying and our grandsons.”

The moment they heard this, Wei Zhiying exclaimed with surprise, “Father!”

Raising his hand, Father Wei said, “Zhiying, you should go to Xie Village with your sons and stay there until this matter is concluded. The brigade secretary is my old friend— with his help, you won’t have to suffer there.”

“Father, it’s not a matter of whether I’m suffering or not. We never had any contact with Chen Bo’s family. If we go there suddenly, won’t it be impolite?”

“What’s more, Chen Bo already cut off his relationship with his family. We now have nothing to do with them,” Wei Zhiying said.

Mother Wei didn’t think too much about whether it was polite or not. She waved her hand and said, “That family— as long as you give them enough money, they won’t dare to refuse you and the children.”

When she heard her mother’s words, Wei Zhiying frowned and tried to reason with her, “Mother—”

But before she could finish her words, Father Wei interrupted her, “This matter is settled. Go pack yours and the children’s belongings. I will prepare the car to send you and the children to the village today.”

Hearing this, Mother Wei nodded and added, “Zhiying, your father is right. With our current situation, we don’t have any options left. Before the military comes, you should leave with the children.”

After she said this, she pulled her daughter up and went to the bedroom to pack their luggage.

Knowing that this matter was decided, Chen Mingze looked at his brother and said, “Yuze, let’s pack up our luggage.”

Chen Yuze was only five years old, so he didn’t understand much about the situation their family was in. When he heard his brother’s words, he nodded and followed him.

Inside the bedroom, Mother Wei took out her private stash and handed it to her daughter. Holding onto her hands, she said, “Zhiying, this is all of your mother’s savings. Take it with you.”

“Mother, if you give me everything, what about you and Father?” Wei Zhiying said.

Mother Wei patted her daughter’s hand and said, “You don’t have to worry about your father and me. We will have a way to fix this problem.”

“Just take good care of yourself and your children. Remember, when you arrive there, endure if you need to. If you can’t endure it, use money to settle the problem. When everything has passed, Mother will send people to pick you and the children up.”

Being raised in a rich family, Wei Zhiying had never done any heavy work or left her parents’ side. This time, going to such a faraway place made her feel scared and worried. But for her sons, she could only nod and listen to her parents’ arrangement.

Mother Wei gave her a total of more than 8,000 yuan, which was enough for her to live a comfortable life for several years in the village. With her own savings, she brought a total of 14,800 yuan and lots of coupons with her.

With money on hand, she finally felt more at ease. When the grandfather clock in the living room rang eight times, she and her children climbed into a car and left the capital.

Sitting inside the car, Chen Yuze hugged his mother and asked, “Mother, where are we going?”

Patting her son’s back gently, Wei Zhiying replied, “We are going to visit your father’s hometown.”

Hearing this, a smile bloomed on Chen Yuze’s face as he said, “Mother, will we meet with my brother?”

After learning about his father’s family from Gou Dan, Chen Yuze had long wanted to meet his half-brother. His brother said that they still had another half-brother in the village, one younger than his brother but older than him.

By right, his brother who lived in the village should be his third brother, and his elder brother was the second brother. As for the eldest brother, his mother said that he had gone to a faraway place.

Thinking about having another brother who would dote on him, Chen Yuze was excited and full of expectation.

Sitting beside him, Chen Mingze didn’t have the same expectations as his younger brother. Someone who was born from Chen Bo—what good personality could he have?

Maybe his half-brother was the same kind of person as the one who kidnapped them. As for his father’s family, he didn’t hate them, but he didn’t like them either.
