Chapter 1240 A Man's Responsibility

Liu Zhengtao and Fu Chen are not here; they can only come back on weekends or holidays.

Liu Yi'an and Liu Yibang both lived in other cities, and although Liu Yiwen was there, he didn't come home every day. Therefore, Hu Jian's arrival made the two elderly people very happy. They had someone to chat with and play chess with.

"Brother Fujian, the house is finished now, when are you going to start decorating it?" Liu Meilan asked.

Hu Jian was very happy, looking at the house that had been built not far away. "It will be finished in a few days. All the materials used are good. I estimate it will be finished in a month. With the good materials used, Xiu Fang and I will be able to move out of the dormitory and live in our own house by the end of the year."

Liu Meilan nodded and tried to find something for her grandfather to do, "Grandpa, when you have time, could you please keep an eye on things for him?"

Grandpa Liu readily agreed, "Of course, building a house is a big deal. You're all at work, but I have time."

"Grandpa Liu, thank you so much." Hu Jian was extremely grateful. The Liu family had provided him, Xiufang, and their two children with a warm home by contributing money and effort.

All of this was not about Hu Jian's reputation, but about Xiu Fang and her ex-husband. Therefore, Hu Jian made up his mind to treat Xu Chongyang well and as his own son.

As a soldier, he could better empathize with Xu Jianguo's patriotism.

After dinner, Hu Xiaoli played around. Zhang Xiufang and Hu Jian came to the new house together. Hu Jian came here every night whenever he was on the island. He felt a great sense of accomplishment watching the house being built little by little.

Zhang Xiufang said with a smile, "There's a guest room and a living room on the first floor. The kitchen and dining room are in a side room. We'll stay on the second floor with Xiaoli. The third floor is for Chongyang. There's a study and a bedroom. If we're lucky, we might even get pregnant and have a baby, and there will be enough room in the house."

Hu Jian nodded, "Of course, it would be best if we had children. We have a good relationship, so it doesn't matter whether we have children or not. For Chongyang and Xiaoli, having a younger brother or sister who shares the same bloodline will give them a stronger sense of belonging to the family when they grow up."

Zhang Xiufang wholeheartedly agreed, "Yes, Dr. Wang took my pulse and said I'm very healthy, so let's just let nature take its course."

Hu Jian put his arm around Zhang Xiufang and kissed her forehead. "That's wonderful!"

Just then, Hu Jian's phone rang.

Seeing the phone number above, I realized it was my aunt calling, so I hung up immediately.

Zhang Xiufang raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you going to answer?"

Hu Jian frowned. "They won't answer. All they say is that I should take you and the child back, since we're family. But when my parents were talking about Xiaoli and Xiaoli's mother, they couldn't persuade them! Before we got the marriage certificate, I told you that I would handle things on my parents' side, and it had nothing to do with you. Not only do you and Chongyang not need to go, but I won't let Xiaoli go either. I don't want my daughter to suffer!"

Zhang Xiufang laughed, "Okay, then I won't go. Besides, I've learned my lesson now. If we run into them again and they try to take advantage of me, I'll jump up and argue with them. I won't give them any face."

Hu Jian shook his head and laughed, "As long as they bully you, just pretend I'm not here. You can retaliate however you want. However, I'm a little worried that you're not tough enough. My parents are going too far. Even I, as their biological son, can't stand it, let alone others."

Just then, the phone rang again.

He called several times, but Hu Jian blocked them all.

They continued wandering around their new house for another ten minutes before emerging. While walking together, they crossed an intersection and received a call from the island's police station.

Hu Jian answered the phone, "Hello, comrade, what can I do for you?"

Officer Zhao replied, "Comrade Hu Jian, we just received a call from the Municipal Bureau saying that your father was in a car accident and is at the Second Municipal Hospital. We need you to go back there."

"Huh?" Hu Jian was taken aback. "Thank you, I'll call back right now and find out."

After all, they are his parents, and Hu Jian couldn't remain indifferent when his parents were in a car accident.

Hu Jian dialed his aunt's number, "Auntie, my dad was in a car accident?"

"You still know how to answer the phone?" Aunt Hu said angrily. "Your father is in the hospital being treated. He might not see you and the child one last time. No matter what happened before, you should come to the hospital to see him now."

Hu Jian nodded, "I understand."

"Hurry up!" Aunt Hu said, and immediately hung up the phone.

Hu Jian hung up the phone, rubbed his face, and said, "Xiufang, keep an eye on Xiaoli for me. I'm going back now!"

Zhang Xiufang thought for a moment, "The buses have stopped running, so we'll have to take a yacht to get back! Let's go back and tell Meilan!"

Hu Jian nodded, "This time, I can only ask Meilan for help!"

On the way back, Zhang Xiufang couldn't help but ask, "Hu Jian, do you really not need me and Xiao Li to come over?"

Hu Jian shook his head. "No way! He never showed any tenderness to Xiao Li. What good would it do to see her one last time before he died? I will never forget that when I came back from my business trip, my daughter was so hungry that she could only pick up biscuits from the ground to eat! Just because Xiao Li broke a bowl, he wouldn't give her any food."

"Little Carp secretly took the cookie box off the cabinet while carrying a stool. They discovered her and, startled, dropped the box. After picking up the broken cookies, they made Little Carp pick up the pieces and eat them!"

As Hu Jian spoke, tears streamed down his face. He truly could not forgive his parents for being so cruel to their daughter!

Hearing this, Zhang Xiufang felt extremely distressed. "If you put it that way, your parents are even worse than Chongyang's grandparents! At least when Chongyang was hungry, his grandmother would secretly give him some food! Besides, does it really matter if it's a boy or a girl? Even if it's a girl, isn't she still part of your Hu family bloodline?"

Hu Jian wiped away his tears and nodded. "That's what I said too! But they're like they're brainless; they can't change their thinking at all! They deliberately bullied Xiao Li's mother just to make me get a divorce and have another child! I don't want to go through that kind of life again, and I don't want Xiao Li to suffer! If I have to be scolded, I'll take it alone!"

After returning home, Liu Meilan heard about Hu Jian's situation and immediately called Captain Wu.

Captain Wu had just finished eating when he received a call from Liu Meilan and immediately went to the dock.

After Hu Jian arrived, Liu Meilan personally escorted him to the dock. She then called him and told Captain Wu to stay in the city and rest at home, saying he didn't need to travel back and forth and that she wouldn't be going out that night.

Hu Jian took a taxi and went straight to the Second Municipal Hospital.

When he arrived at the hospital, one of his classmates was there and asked him for directions.

It just so happened that this classmate was also there. When the doctor inquired, he immediately looked at his classmate with sympathy in his eyes.

These parents are really bizarre! They scared Fujian so much!
