Chapter 774: Chapter 773: My wife Lu Zheng is of course extraordinary!
Lu Zheng ca back from outside that day and, although he tried hard to disguise it, Lin Xia still noticed sothing amiss from the subtle changes in his complexion.
But there were quite a few family mbers at ho, including her grandfather and in-laws, so she knew Lu Zheng was the kind of person who didn’t like to worry his family about anything; thus, she did not imdiately ask what was wrong.
The two children were tired and wanted to sleep, so Lin Xia and Lu Zheng each carried one back to their room.
After Lin Xia had soothed the children to sleep, she asked Lu Zheng, “Xiaozheng! What happened to you?”
Lu Zheng embraced Lin Xia and did not hide anything, “Wife! Do you rember my buddy who passed away?”
Lin Xia imdiately thought of him, “Are you talking about the person in the photo fra on the bookshelf in our room at Grandpa’s house?”
She rembered that when Lu Zheng had talked about him, there was a pained look in his eyes. He had ntioned his son was especially intelligent and sensible, and he said he’d like for her to et him soday!
Lu Zheng nodded, his eyes filled with sorrow, “Yes! That’s him! His wife called , wanting their child to transfer schools to the provincial city here! Then she would also co over with the kid!”
Lin Xia pressed further, “How old is his son?”
At that ti, Lu Zheng had only ntioned it in passing, and she hadn’t felt it appropriate to ask for specifics.
Therefore, she had no clue about the circumstances of his buddy’s wife and child.
“He’s in third grade now, and he’ll be in fourth grade when school starts again!”
Seeing Lu Zheng’s mood was low, Lin Xia felt upset as well and hurriedly tried to cheer him up, “Don’t feel bad! I think transferring schools shouldn’t be too difficult, right? His wife shouldn’t be very old either; if she is willing to work hard and endure hardship, she can definitely make a good life for herself!”
In Lin Xia’s view, this matter didn’t seem very difficult, the key was whether the mother and child had the determination to make a good life for themselves.
Lu Zheng held Lin Xia close, his voice low, “Wife! I know it’s not difficult! Actually, I felt particularly upset when I heard her ntion the reason why the child wants to transfer schools!”
“What reason?”
“His wife has been living with the son in the county town, and the children in school bully him for not having a father…”
Lu Zheng’s mood was heavy, not because the matter of transferring schools was tough or not, but because he found it heartbreaking.
His best friend had died in an act of saving others, but his child was being bullied!
Lin Xia, feeling a profound sense of empathy, said with a heavy heart, “Then you’d better hurry up and help them with the school transfer! Such an environnt is too damaging for a child!
As for his wife, see what she wants to do. If there’s no suitable job for her, get her to learn a skill in the garnt factory! There’s no way I’ll let them suffer!”
Lin Xia and Lu Zheng weren’t short of money, but in a situation like this, it’s better to teach soone to fish rather than just give them fish.
Earning money through their own hard work, they would feel more confident and dignified when spending it.
“Wife! You’re so kind!” Lu Zheng knew before he ca back that as long as he spoke honestly to his wife afterward, she would agree.
But when the reality unfolded just as he had anticipated, he was still touched and overjoyed.
“Don’t you know whose wife you are?” Lin Xia retorted with feigned arrogance.
Lu Zheng’s spirits lifted, casting aside his previous heaviness, “Right! Who else could be my wife? Lu Zheng’s wife is of course extraordinary!”
The next day, Lu Zheng set out to handle the matters concerning the mother and child.
Shao irou also heard about the situation and shared her thoughts with Lin Xia.
“Lin Xia! Here’s what I think. They’re not coming over for a short stay; they will live here permanently.
“Therefore, we really don’t have a place for them to stay at our ho, so why don’t you and Xiaozheng find them a place to live? Sothing safe and comfortable!”
It’s not that she lacked compassion, but there really was no space for them at her ho.
Moreover, Shao irou also had her own selfish reasons, Lu Zheng could help in any way with the wife and child left behind by his mate, but he could not bring them ho.
Ho is not a place where just anyone can move in, Lin Xia felt uncomfortable admitting it, but she had to make everything clear.
Lin Xia had actually sensed her mother-in-law’s thoughts, and she affectionately patted Shao irou’s shoulder, “Mom! We’ve already discussed it!
There are vacant rooms on the second floor of the garnt factory right now! A simple clean-up and they’re fit to be lived in! He can take them straight there when he picks them up! It would also be convenient if she works at the factory!”
“That’s great! That’s great!” Shao irou was reassured, “But as newcors, they should still co over for a al!”
“Sure! Once Xiaozheng brings them back! We’ll make so delicious food!”
Lu Zheng quickly brought them over.
When they arrived, Lin Xia was not at ho; only Shao irou and the others were there.
“Xiaozheng is back!” As Shao irou went out to greet them, she discreetly observed the people her son had brought back.
The woman was about thirty years old, of average height, with a pale and haggard face, but one could still make out that she must have been a pretty girl once.
The child’s height reached near the woman’s chin, with delicate features but eyes that betrayed restraint, nervousness, and fear.
Lu Zheng put down the large bag in his hand, “Mom! Grandpa! Let introduce, this is Liang Wei, the wife of my buddy Cheng Yibin, and their son Cheng Wenfeng.”
After they had greeted each other, Shao irou hospitably and politely entertained them, asking the housekeeper to wash so fruit and serve tea, and she also got so snacks for Cheng Wenfeng.
When Shao irou saw that Cheng Wenfeng didn’t seem interested in eating, she took the initiative to hand them to him, “Co on, child! Eat!”
Cheng Wenfeng looked at his mother and, after seeing her nod in agreent, carefully took them and whispered a thank you.
Shao irou felt sad for the boy; such a big lad, yet his deanor was timid like a shy girl’s—it was no wonder he was bullied in school.
She asked with concern, “How are things with school being sorted out for the boy?”
Lu Zheng took a sip of water, “We’ll handle it tomorrow, there shouldn’t be any problems!”
“That’s great!” Shao irou looked at Liang Wei and said, “I don’t know if Lu Zheng has ntioned this, but my daughter-in-law owns a garnt factory. If you want to work, you could try starting there!”
“He told ! I know a bit about sewing, I can do it!” Liang Wei was full of confusion and apprehension in this completely unfamiliar place, but for her son, there was nothing she couldn’t do, no hardship she couldn’t endure.
“Oh, that’s even better if you have so basics,” at least it’s easier to get started than not knowing anything at all.
When Jingjing and Keke woke up and saw that their dad had co back and brought strangers, both children curiously stared at Cheng Wenfeng.
In front of the adults, Cheng Wenfeng was very reserved, but facing the two plump and cute children, he showed a faint smile.
After Lin Xia ca back, Lu Zheng reintroduced them to each other.
Lin Xia had already felt sympathy for Liang Wei and her son before eting them, and now after seeing Cheng Wenfeng so timid, her sympathy only grew.
After dinner, Liang Wei, not wanting to be a burden, took the initiative to go to the place they had arranged for her.
Lu Zheng and Lin Xia drove them both to their new place.
