Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 214 Lazy Daughter-in-law - Home Visit

It is the emotional entanglements between relatives that make things complicated and lead to quarrels and accusations among family members.

If you treat your relatives as strangers, there will be fewer quarrels, such as the four members of the Fan family and the Fan Chao couple.

Two years after their marriage, Fan Chaohe and Ji Lerong gave birth to another daughter and named her Fan Nana.

The girl grew up with the love and company of her parents. She was a carefree little princess. She was much happier than her two brothers. Her parents loved her and her family was happy.

After Fan Qitian turned 18, Fan Chao stopped paying child support, regardless of whether his son was still studying or had a bright future.

Of course, after Fan Qiheng became an adult, the other party did the same thing. He said that he had no obligation to support the child now that he was an adult.

Zhou Leng was afraid that the two children would suffer some negative psychological effects due to the comparison with their half-sister, so they seldom mentioned the girl and would not disturb the lives of the three people.

Zhou Leng just wanted his two grandsons to know that even though their father gave his love to his daughter, their grandparents also gave them all their love.

Unique preferences can heal the loss of neglect.

***

After Fan Qitian finished the college entrance examination, he studied mechanical design and automation at the suggestion of Zhou Leng. His career direction after graduation was also to be a mechanical engineer. Delving into technology was something Fan Qitian could do well.

Fan Qitian’s graduation banquet was not a big one, just a meal together among family members.

Of course, only Fan Yu's family can be called family. Fan Chao and his family of three have been removed from Zhou Leng's family list.

At the dinner table, Fan Qitian held up his glass to toast and said:

"Thank you grandpa and grandma for raising me with all your hard work. Thank you aunt and uncle for taking care of me for so many years and for helping me hold parent-teacher conferences. I know that in order to prevent my classmates from laughing at me, you have always said that I am your child."

The boy, who is now 1.78 meters tall, couldn't help but shed tears when he said this. He clenched his fists and continued:

"There's actually very little I can give back. After all, my growing up means you're getting older. I just hope you can age slower, wait for me, and give me a chance to give back."

Fan Yu shed tears because of her nephew's words. She has only one daughter, who went to college two years ago.

In fact, Fan Yu did not ask for anything in return for her efforts for her nephew over the years, but the fact that they said so comforted her and made her feel sorry for them at the same time.

Feng Tao listened to his nephew's words and said with satisfaction:

"It's so unorthodox to say that. We are all a family, and family members should support each other."

Fan Datian wiped away his tears and said loudly, "Come on, it's all in the wine."

The whole family clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.

Alcohol stimulated everyone's emotions and the atmosphere soon became heated.

A week before Fan Qitian was going to college, Fan Chao brought his wife and children to Zhou Leng's home.

When the couple arrived with gifts and their daughter Fan Nana, the family of four had just finished dinner.

Three people are watching TV.

Fan Qiheng studies in his room.

There was a knock on the door.

Fan Qitian got up to open the door. When he saw the family of three, he suppressed his annoyance and greeted them:

"Dad, Aunt Ji, Nana, you are here, come in and sit down."

Ji Lerong now knows how popular her parents-in-law's delicatessen is, and she also knows that her two children are estranged from her. Now that she sees that Fan Chao's eldest son has good grades and is about to succeed, she comes to repair the relationship. She said with a smile:

"I heard that you were admitted to Taipei Institute of Technology, which is a top 100 university. You will have a bright future after graduation. It turns out that your parents know how to educate their children. Nana, come and call me big brother."

The girl following Ji Lerong looked up at Fan Qitian and said with a strange look and tone, "Hello, big brother."

Fan Qitian nodded. Then he said loudly, "Grandma, my dad and his family are here."

The old couple did not stand up to greet them, but Fan Datian said loudly: "Come in and sit down."

Fan Chao put the fruits and gifts on the table, and then the three of them sat on the sofa.

Fan Qitian brought three bottles of water to the three people and said:

"You guys chat, my brother is still studying, I'm going to give him extra lessons."

Zhou Leng knew that he didn't want to communicate with them, so he raised his hand and said:

"Go quickly and tutor your brother. Maybe he can get into Peking University or Tsinghua University in the future. That will bring honor to our family. Your grandfather and I have worked hard for you all these years. Your aunt and her family have sold less food to attend the parents' meeting for you. Go quickly."

Zhou Leng's words made Ji Lerong lower her head slightly. She understood the underlying meaning of her mother-in-law.

Fan Nana sat quietly next to her parents. In her memory, she seemed to have rarely visited her grandparents' house since she was a child. She mostly went to her grandparents' house. She only knew that she had two older brothers.

Fan Chao coughed and said:

"Why are we allowed to attend Qitian's entrance banquet? Besides, it should be a grand event."

Zhou Leng turned her head to see that her husband had no intention of speaking. She looked directly at the three people and said:

"You are all busy at work, and our store is busy too. It's just a meal. When we die, we'll ask you to help with the funeral. Don't bother about the graduation banquet."

One sentence can make the point final.

Fan Chao choked and let out a long breath. He said, "Why don't we do it in the next few days?"

Zhou Leng shook his head and said:

"The kids are about to go to school. Let's talk about it later. It's getting late today. You three can stay a little longer if you want. Your dad and I have worked all day and are very tired. We are going to rest first. Please close the door when you leave."

Soon there were only three people left in the living room.

Today's warm reception made Fan Chao and his family feel a little angry and embarrassed. When they left, the doors of the three bedrooms opened at the same time, and three heads appeared, staring at each other before retreating back into their rooms.

After that day, the three of them never came to visit again. They probably hurt their vitality and needed to recuperate for some time before they could recover.

****

Half a month after Fan Qiheng finished the college entrance examination, Fan Datian suddenly fell seriously ill. He had been having health problems before and had been undergoing treatment, but for some reason he recently caught a cold again.

A cold can kill an old man.

After staying in the hospital for half a month, Fan Datian's health deteriorated. Finally, the hospital suggested transferring them to a hospice hospital.

When Fan Datian was still conscious, he kept shouting that he wanted to go home. Only after he returned home and slept in his own bed did he calm down.

Because his condition had reached the point where there was no cure and no medical treatment available, his family could only wait out every night when Fan Datian might leave.

Fan Yu would come to take care of his father during the day, so that he could sleep soundly after not getting a good rest the night before.

Fan Qitian also took a leave and came back. After he came back, the two brothers took care of him at night, and Fan Yu and Zhou Leng took care of him during the day. This way everyone could have a rest and not be too tired.
