Chapter 44: The Shabby Woodshed
“Since the beggar married Miss Jin, Jin Dabao is his father-in-law. It’s unacceptable for him to beat his father-in-law!” “Do you think a fool like him will know that?” These villager gossip about him. Jin Weiwei wants to speak for Little Rich. However, Little Rich grabs her arm and prevents her from quarreling with those villagers.
Jin Dabao, seeing that Jin Weiwei and Little Rich explain nothing to those villagers, thinks he gets the upper hand, which makes him glad. As long as he lives in the house of Jin family, he can fulfill his mission. “Weiwei, can you forgive me? Please…” pleads Jin Dabao with a miserable voice in order to soften the heart of Jin Weiwei. At that moment, he even lies on the floor, creeps to Jin Weiwei and grabs her feet, saying, “Weiwei, please give me a chance. You must be angry with me. But I know I am wrong. I want to change. Let me go home, please. I want to do whatever you ask me to do. I can do anything for you.”
“WTF? I can’t believe that Jin Dabao is actually a drama queen! He is so disgusting that he even creeps to me and grab my legs as if his legs were broken! Why doesn’t he spit blood to enhance the atmosphere of misery?” Thinking of that, Jin Weiwei gets even angrier that she would rather kick him! But she knows that under such a condition, it is not wise to beat him. After all, gossips kill.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
“Aha, sorry for him. What a pity! He can’t return home in such an old age.” “Miss Jin. How can you be so stone-hearted? He is your father. Let him in…” “Well… after all he is your biological father. Look at him, so miserable. Why are you still angry with him?” ” Miss Jin, it is said that a prodigal who regrets truly is more precious than gold. I think that your father has already realized his fault. Forgive him…” Seeing that those villagers all back him up, he knows that he wins, looking at Jin Weiwei confidently.
Taking a glace at those villagers who wearing pitiful expressions, Jin Weiwei knows that they have already viewed Jin Dabao as a man who has reformed himself and is eager to be accepted by others. He thinks that so long as she accepts Jin Dabao and lets him live in her house, she can calm down the excited villagers. When she looks down, she finds that Jin Dabao who lies on the ground is staring at her with a triumphant look. Jin Weiwei thinks, “All right! since he is eager to live with me, I give him a chance to experience the ‘happiness’ of living with me!”
“Get up quickly! It’s cold to lie on the ground in the morning.” Jin Weiwei pretends to help Jin Dabao up by holding his arms tightly on purpose. However, she says with a lasting soft voice, “Well… things have already been like that… I have nothing to explain…. Let’ go home. OK?” Seeing that Jin Weiwei finally accepts Jin Dabao and agrees to live with him, all the villagers all applaud for the kindness of Jin Weiwei and praises her as a good girl. Jin Dabao is dragged up with his arms aching for being pinched hard by Jin Weiwei. The moment Jin Dabao, wearing a painful look, is about to complain, Jin Weiwei draws him closer to her quickly, and murmurs, “That’s already the best result for you. Don’t push me. I will turn against you. Be careful!” Hearing that, Jin Dabao squeezes a smile reluctantly. Jin Weiwei supports going home with the gaze and blessing of the public.
Dragging Jin Dabao, Jin Weiwei rushes into the house regardless of her aching ankle sprained last night. Jin Weiwei pushes Jin Dabao with all her efforts the moment they step into the yard, and says, “Well done Jin Dabao! I am surprised that you are such a drama queen!” With the great strength of Jin Weiwei, Jin Dabao staggers and almost falls down on the ground.” “You bastard! I am your father anyway! How can you treat me so rudely!” shouts Jin Dabao. “Bullshit! You son of bitch!” curses Jin Weiwei. Then she thinks, “Who is my father? You? You are not my father. Your daughter has already been killed by yourself! What did you do to your daughter? Can you remember that? Is there any moment that you treated her as your daughter?”
“How should I treat you? Do you have any ideas about that?” says Jin Weiwei with a cold voice. Jin Dabao crosses his arms and asks with his head cork to one side, “Is there any problems about that? Don’t you think it is a matter of course to look after your parents? Now, I am living with you! You should take care of me!” Jin Dabao is so shameless that he requires Jin Weiwei to take care of him after promising that he will work hard to help her. “Hum! How dare you say that! A loving father always deserves a filial daughter. You want me to take care of you as a father? Think about how you treated me when I was young!” She gives him an angry stare and continues, “You just said you wanted to do everything on the condition that I agree to accept you in my house. Are you willing to keep your promise? If not, you get out of my house right now!”
Hearing the tough tone of Jin Weiwei, Jin Dabao has to compromise in order to return to Jin’s house. “Calm down, I will definitely keep my words. I will do whatever you ask me to do.” Saying that, he takes a look at the room and asks, “But let’s talk about work later. The first thing is where I live?” A night-long travel and the conflict in the early morning make Jin Dabao feel extremely tired. Now, he badly needs a bed to have a sound sleep! Jin Weiwei chuckles at Jin Dabao’s intention to have a good sleep. She thinks, “Till now, Jin Dabao is still daydreaming about his life here. Does he think that I don’t have the nerve to abuse him? Totally wrong!”
Now Jin Weiwei is anything but a silly sweet heart. She is a girl with clear mind about what is right and what is wrong. It never occurs to her mind that she should requite evil with kindness. “Your room… Em… OK! Come with me.” Jin Weiwei raises her eyebrows and leads Jin Dabao to the backyard and points at the shabby woodshed located in the corner, saying, “Here it is! From now on, you live in the woodshed.” “What?!! Live in the woodshed?!!!” shouts Jin Dabao with his eyes open wide in disbelief. “Why not? My house is not big. It has only several rooms, each of which has its own uses. The storeroom near the sheepfold has already been occupied by Xiaoqing. So… the woodshed is the only one available. Your choice. Live there or get out.” Finally, Jin Dabao realizes that Jin Weiwei has no intention to get along well with him.
