Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 537 - 363: Two in One_4

After all, they were my parents, and I couldn’t just force them to leave, so I thought about coming back to find a good house in a nearby village first. Once they saw that I had spent all the money, they would stop making things difficult for me.

"Don’t worry, I’ll definitely vacate the house the day after tomorrow. I’ve already picked out a house on this side and have negotiated the price. I’ll pay for it tomorrow, and we can move in the day after,"

"I haven’t even spoken yet, and you’ve already given me this long spiel. It seems you really do know why I came," Jing Zhe said as he placed the food on the table, "Now, the problem is, the landlord returned today."

"What?" Zhang Dongfang jumped up, "Wasn’t he supposed to come back in four days? How did he come back now? Where are they now? My parents didn’t say anything to them, did they?"

"Alright, let’s eat first, and we can talk while eating," Jing Zhe continued as he set down the lunchbox, "I’ve been smelling the aroma of the food all the way here, I’m starving."

"You haven’t eaten yet?" Zhang Dongfang quickly picked up a thermos and walked out, "I’ll go get some hot water."

"Good, hurry up."

Zhang Dongfang returned with the flask, and Jing Zhe had already arranged the food and poured the wine, smiling and waving at him: "Come on, this wine is from my home, you’ll definitely like it."

"How is Elder Jing doing?" freёweɓnovel_com

"Quite well, the old man is healthy and in a good mood, cheerful every day," Jing Zhe responded, lifting his cup and draining it in one go, "That should be considered good news, right?"

"They..." hesitating for a moment, Zhang Dongfang said, "Is their cognition still deteriorating?"

"No, the recent check-up was favorable, but..." Jing Zhe sighed, "You know how sharp my grandfather used to be, so although I know he’s happier now, it still makes me uncomfortable."

Zhang Dongfang also raised his cup and drained it: "Good people deserve good things. Heaven probably thought the old man was too tired and did it on purpose. I mean, with the old man’s work schedule before, how could his body cope?"

"True, my grandfather always used to complain about how slow my grandmother was, but now, the old couple spend their days together, really joyful," Jing Zhe laughed, "Maybe I’m being too sentimental."

Zhang Dongfang took another drink and changed the subject: "My parents are also quite stubborn. If I go now, they’ll just get angrier. I’ll go with you tomorrow morning, even if it means dragging, I have to drag them back."

"I came here now to discuss strategies with you, not to ask you to come with me late at night to drag the elder man and woman back. Am I such an unreasonable person?

Moreover, you are helping out; in the situation back then, our family trusted you the most here. However, we didn’t expect the landlord’s parents to take such actions.

If we had anticipated this situation, we would have taken precautions with the old man and woman earlier. Although I don’t know them personally, from what my father says, I know they are genuinely good people.

They were just taken advantage of temporarily. Don’t take it to heart, it would embarrass me even more if you took this matter too seriously. Honestly, if not for fear of you overthinking it, I would have come over first thing tomorrow morning."

"Jing Zhe, thank you."

"Uncle Zhang, we needn’t be formal," Jing Zhe raised his cup, "I haven’t interacted much with you, but you know my father well. You aren’t unaware of what our family members are like.

As for Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin, you just need to interact with them to know. They are an extremely honest couple, and I wouldn’t assist if there was even the slightest truth in what the old couple from Lin Family have been saying."

"I know, of course, I know. I’ve looked into this matter myself. My parents are just being stubborn, or rather, it can be said that the old couple from Lin Family are too good at brainwashing. At any rate, my parents won’t listen to me at all right now.

The other day, our family of three went to fetch them. No matter what we said, the old couple wouldn’t listen. They even resorted to threatening with death in the end. We had no choice but to come back first and think of a solution.

If not, we would have moved out earlier. Honestly, I didn’t anticipate that things would turn out like this. Before, when we used to visit them, we just listened to the old couple talk about Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin and never thought deeply about it.

If we had thought more deeply, we wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. Talking about this, I haven’t met the standards as a son. The old couple had been warning me, but I didn’t take it seriously."

"You can’t blame yourself for this. You didn’t think deeply enough because you couldn’t believe there would be parents who don’t want the best for their children. Honestly, if I hadn’t experienced it myself, I wouldn’t believe there are such parents in this world, either.

But now that it has happened, we need to think of a solution. My coming here today was mainly to ask you to join me tomorrow.

As for the detailed solution, let’s go and listen to Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin’s opinions, they are discussing countermeasures tonight. Later, we’ll follow their advice, as they understand the personality of Old Man Lin and Old Lady Lin better than we do.

As for your side, please don’t let this situation cause a rift between you, Uncle Zhang, and Aunt Zhang. If that happens, I would really feel I handled this very poorly."

"How could that be?" Zhang Dongfang waved his hands repeatedly, "I have a responsibility in this matter, I must persuade my parents. I am their son, after all. They will still give me some respect."

Hearing this, Jing Zhe’s eyes shifted, and he leaned forward involuntarily, whispering a few words to him.

Having found a solution, the two of them talked and drank heartily until eleven o’clock at night, when Zhang Dongfang was finally sent home by Jing Zhe.

Jing Zhe naturally spent the night at the guest house. He had booked a room upon arrival, otherwise, Zhang Dongfang wouldn’t have felt at ease going home.

After returning home and discussing it with his wife, Zhang’s Wife also felt very frustrated and volunteered to join him the next day to pick up the elderly couple. This way, at the very least, it would show the elderly that their grandchildren cared deeply about them.

Thinking about it, Zhang Dongfang simply decided not to send his son to school the next day. Instead, the family of three would go and respectfully invite the elder man and woman back.(To be continued.
