Xiaohua thought this person was really shameless; they would open a dye shop in no time if given a chance.

"When you tell your child that as long as they have a mother, it doesn't matter whether they have a father or not, isn't that passing on hatred to the child?"

He Yan felt heartbroken whenever he thought that he was just an insignificant figure in the child's heart.

"Is there anything wrong with what I said? I was waiting for your family to let me in when I was out in the cold wind with my baby, who had just finished my postpartum period. Your family said they didn't know me and told us to get out. From that moment on, you have been someone who is dispensable to me and my child."

Have you been present for even a second during her growth over the past few years? Have you ever held her once? Have you ever made her a bottle of milk? Have you ever taken her to the hospital when she was sick? When she asked me why all the other kids have dads but she doesn't, what am I supposed to say? That her dad doesn't want her anymore? That's instilling hatred.

I don't want my child to hate you and your family. Hatred takes strength and emotion, and neither of you deserves my child's hatred!

You're fucking hilarious! I tell my child that some kids don't even have a dad or a mom. You have a mom, you're already very lucky. That's the best way to educate a child. It's about not letting them feel that lacking a father's love is such a sad thing. Your mom loves you enough and has the ability to give you a good material life. A dad is just an optional presence and can't hurt you at all. That's how you protect your child!

I'm being kind by asking you to acknowledge the child, and you're taking advantage of me. You're being ungrateful! Who do you think you are? Get out of here!

Ye Xiaohua finished speaking in one breath and took a deep breath. She reached out to push He Yan. He Yan's legs were already bad, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground. Ye Xiaohua did not soften her heart and grabbed his other good leg. She didn't know where she got the strength, but she dragged He Yan out of the door.

The door slammed shut with a loud bang.

The aunt who was about to cook was completely dumbfounded, staring at Xiaohua's amazing actions, her jaw practically dropping to her sides.

He Yan was a bit dazed and out of sorts the whole time. Lu Zhan had already driven away when he suddenly remembered that he hadn't asked He Yan what time he was coming over that night. So he went back to ask He Yan what time he was coming to pick him up. Just then, he saw a woman grab He Yan's leg and drag him out the door, and then slam the door shut.

Lu Zhan's eyes were wide open, like copper bells, as if they were about to pop out.

The scene and the feeling were both awkward and terrifying.

It took Lu Zhan a while to recover his senses before he went forward to help He Yan up.

"Brother, what are you guys doing? Was that your wife who just pulled you out by your leg?!"

At this moment, besides feeling sad and upset, He Yan felt even more ashamed and embarrassed, especially since Lu Zhan had seen it. Although Lu Zhan was his good brother, and they had grown up together since childhood, he still felt ashamed!

"What happened? Did you two have a fight?"

Lu Zhan saw that He Yan had a gloomy face and remained silent.

"The conflict between us has never been resolved, so how can there be any conflict?"

He Yan's voice was lifeless and listless.

“I know the conflict between you two hasn’t been resolved. I’m asking you why you were kicked out of your home this time.”

He Yan said dejectedly, "It's my own fault for saying things I shouldn't have, and for bringing shame upon myself."

Lu Zhan carried He Yan downstairs, asking as they walked, "What did you say to your wife? Tell me and I'll analyze it for you."

He Yan was getting annoyed: "Can you stop pressing me for details? Can you stop rubbing salt into my wounds? Can you just shut up for once?"

Lu Zhan saw that he was in a really bad mood. Well, anyone would be in a bad mood if a woman dragged him out of the house by one leg like that. He decided not to ask any more questions.

"Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore."

Lu Zhan helped him into the car and sat down. As he drove, his gossipy nature got the better of him, and he couldn't help but ask, "Judging from the way your wife drags you around, she doesn't seem to have changed much as you said. She's still as vulgar and barbaric as before, just a bit slimmer." Lu Zhan didn't see Ye Xiaohua's face, only her back.

When He Yan got married, Lu Zhan had seen Xiao Hua, who was as fat as a pig and as strong as an ox. She would pick up a kitchen knife and fight to the death. She ate like a wolf, as if she hadn't eaten in eight hundred lifetimes. She was extremely barbaric and vulgar.

"She... has indeed changed, not just in appearance and figure. She's just rude and vulgar to me, but she's not like that to others, haha..." He Yan said with a helpless bitter smile.

I imagined her tilting her head and speaking softly and sweetly to the man sitting in the car, and how elegant and polite she was, always addressing him as "Mr. Zhou" with a gentle smile on her face on the phone.

I was rude and used all sorts of foul language towards him, which just meant I didn't care about him and didn't want to hide my true nature at all.

"Who doesn't she treat like this? Have you seen it? Do you think she's fallen for someone else, which is why she treats you so badly?"

It's hard not to think about this aspect in land warfare.

He Yan remained silent.

Lu Zhan looked at his good brother next to him and slammed his fist on the steering wheel: "I said no way, buddy, that's your wife! Even if you don't have much affection for her, you're not divorced. How can she like someone else?"

He Yan said sarcastically, "What does a certificate matter? I seem to have made a mess of things. She and the child both hate me. What should I do?"

At that moment, he was truly helpless to the extreme.

"Didn't you say the child accepted you?"

Lu Zhan didn't understand why he would say that even the child hated him.

He Yan shook his head: "Why should the child accept me? Have I ever held her even once in these past few years? Have I ever put her to sleep even once? Have I ever taken her to the hospital even once when she was sick? I haven't done anything for her. Why should she accept me? Just because I'm her biological father?"

Seeing that he was really upset, Lu Zhan patted him on the shoulder: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, but it will get better slowly. People are emotional beings. If you go to see them every day, they will accept you sooner or later. Besides, don't underestimate that certificate. At least that certificate gives you a reason to approach them."

He Yan wondered if he would still have the chance to visit her and the child every day. Would she still be willing to open the door for him? Would the child still want to play with him?

Xiaohua grew angrier the more she thought about it at home. She remembered that when she went back to her hometown, Commander He had given her his office phone number, saying that she could call him if she had any difficulties and he would help her solve them.

Xiaohua rummaged through the drawer and finally found the piece of paper with the phone number written on it.
