Chapter 1242 Happiness is the Same, Unhappiness is Every Kind of Unhappiness
Just as Mr. Hu was about to hit him again, Mrs. Hu quickly stopped him, "Stop hitting him! This is a hospital! Hu Jian, your father is old, don't upset him to death, apologize to your father right now!"
Hu Jian shook his head. "Since I've already said that, I don't think I'm wrong! I only owe you the debt of raising me, so I listen to your nonsense, but I won't do what you say!"
Mr. Hu clutched his chest in anger, "Are you trying to drive me to my death?"
Hu Jian was about to say something even harsher, but Aunt Hu stopped him, "Old Hu, if you keep going like this, things will really get out of hand! Hu Jian, your parents are fine here, you should go home first!"
Hu Jian nodded. "Auntie, you've watched me grow up! I might not be the most virtuous person, but I'm not the worst either! You know better than anyone how I treat my parents! You'd better advise them. I've pushed their only son further away; I really don't care about them anymore!"
After saying that, Hu Jian left without looking back.
Hu's mother complained to her older sister, "Elder sister, why did you let Hu Jian leave? Today you made him bow his head, but he really won't treat us like his parents anymore!"
Although Mr. Hu did not speak, his expression suggested that he thought the same thing.
Aunt Hu's face turned ugly. "Didn't you all hear what Hu Jian said just now? At least he still acknowledges legal relationships. If you keep talking, Hu Jian will turn his back on all his relatives!"
“He wouldn’t dare!” Mr. Hu quickly said. “He values this job very much. As long as I use this trick to get under his control, I guarantee he’ll comply! I’ve done it this way before, and it’s always worked!”
Hu's mother hesitated, "But if we really lose our jobs in Fujian, how will we support ourselves without a salary? Although we have retirement pensions and can get reimbursed for medical expenses in the future, we won't have anyone to look after us, and the caregivers will take advantage of us! We have sons and daughters-in-law, why shouldn't they come and take care of us?"
Aunt Hu pointed at her younger sister and brother-in-law, "You know, you've manipulated him many times before. He just said that even if you try to manipulate him, he won't change! He's never said that before. Haven't you thought about the reason? I can find out from others that Hu Jian's girlfriend seems to have quite a powerful background!"
Mr. Hu dismissed it, saying, "She's just a nanny from out of town, right? She's pretty, and she even managed to keep Hu Jian in line with her son! She's a vixen!"
Hu's mother's tone was also full of resentment, "This woman is very cunning. Not only has she won over Hu Jian's heart, but she also refuses to come to see us! Even when I called her workplace, she directly shut me down, saying she didn't know her! She's much more formidable than that previous daughter-in-law! If we don't take back the initiative, Hu Jian and his remarried wife will definitely not take us seriously in the future, let alone take care of us in our old age!"
Aunt Hu's fingers trembled with anger. "How many times have I told you this? I've talked myself hoarse! All you think about is that Hu Jian is your son, that you can't let him go! But what can you do if he really does leave you behind? He's so young, yet he has a wife and children! What do you have? Even your only son doesn't acknowledge you anymore, what hope do you have?"
Although Hu Dayi had explained all sorts of reasons to them, the domineering couple simply didn't take it seriously.
Complaining and cursing, Aunt Hu said disheartenedly, "Fine, this is your family matter, I can't interfere! Don't call me again, I've never been this upset or confused about my own family matters!"
After saying that, Aunt Hu stormed off, not caring about her sister and brother-in-law's messy affairs.
Hu's father and mother were united in their hatred of Hu Jian and discussed how to deal with him.
However, since Mr. Hu still needs to be hospitalized, they have to postpone their plans for a few days. They'll deal with their son and force his wife to eat after he's discharged.
Hu Jian returned to his house in the city and was smoking a cigarette when the phone rang.
Zhang Xiufang's voice was very gentle as it came through the phone line, "Hu Jian, how is your father?"
Hu Jian smiled bitterly, "They lied to me. Although my dad was in a car accident, he only suffered a fracture and didn't go to the emergency room!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xiufang felt particularly heartbroken. The harm done by outsiders can never compare to the stabbing in the back by family and friends.
“Sigh, some things can’t be forced! Like Chongyang and me, we just weren’t meant to be with my ex-husband’s family! So we’ve let it go now and are looking forward. You’re a good man and a good son, but that doesn’t mean you’ll meet good parents. Just consider this your spiritual journey.”
Hu Jian chuckled. "Sigh, I was really angry at the time, I felt like my lungs were about to explode! But I calmed down quickly. I already knew what kind of people they were, so I didn't have any expectations!"
Even so, Hu Jian was repeatedly hurt by his parents' actions. He was a kind and honest person; how could he not be affected?
Zhang Xiufang encouraged, "Where are you? Have you eaten? We had a great meal with Xiaoli tonight!"
Upon hearing this, Hu Jian suddenly felt hungry. Sometimes when he needed to come to headquarters for meetings or work, he would stay at home.
There are no fresh vegetables here, but there are instant noodles.
Hu Jian came to the kitchen and said, "I saw some instant noodles. I'll boil some water and cook some instant noodles!"
Zhang Xiufang smiled and said, "Then open the refrigerator. Although there are no vegetables, there is dried wakame seaweed. Soak it in hot water! There are also dried shrimp. Grab a handful and sprinkle them in. With vegetables, meat, and noodles, it will taste pretty good!"
Following Zhang Xiufang's suggestion, Hu Jian opened the refrigerator and found it.
The two chatted while Hu Jian boiled water to cook noodles, and his mind finally calmed down.
After eating the noodles, Hu Jian's mood completely improved!
Zhang Xiufang hung up the phone and let out a long sigh. "Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way! You really can't be reckless, or you'll slowly squander all your good fortune!"
Liu Meilan nodded. "Yes, Sister Xiufang! They have such a good son like Fujian, and they don't even cherish him. They're just causing trouble all the time. They're a menace! Sister Xiufang, don't go and get abused!"
Zhang Xiufang nodded repeatedly, "Of course I won't go! My last in-laws tormented me half to death. I've learned my lesson, and I'm staying away from them this time! Anyway, Hu Jian supports me and won't complain! Now I just need to take good care of my children. I have a house, a job, a son and a daughter. I'm a winner in life!"
Looking at Zhang Xiufang, who had fair skin and a tall, slender figure, Liu Meilan seemed to have noticed something. "Sister Xiufang, your good fortune is yet to come!"
