Chapter 283: Re-dividing the Family 1 I want them to re-divide the family,...

Of course Cao Guangyi would not admit it. Otherwise, if they had fallen out, how could he come over to watch the fun?

There are many kinds of rifts between brothers in this world. One kind is to fight each other to the death with knives and guns. Another kind is to quarrel with each other as soon as they meet. Another kind is to be insincere and stretch their necks to watch each other make a fool of themselves.

He chose the third option.

There was no way out. His elder brother had ruined his happy life, so he naturally wanted to take revenge.

He had thought the Xue family would cause a scene and he could pretend to be a peacemaker, but Xue Laifu was surprisingly calm and showed no desire to cause trouble. However, the current situation was enough to keep his eldest brother fuming for the rest of his life.

This is what is called killing someone without bloodshed.

He looked at Cao Guangyuan innocently, "I don't know, big brother! God knows, you found the matchmaker yourself, and you chose the person yourself. You should have found out everything before getting married, right? Besides, our mother is an experienced person with sharp eyes, and she didn't see it, so what should I know? My acquaintance with Brother Lai Fu was purely accidental."

Xue Laifu, also wanting to maintain a semblance of peace, quickly chimed in, "Guangyuan, don't get excited. Guangyi really doesn't know. He's been to my house a few times, and every time he asked where the child's mother was, I told him she was dead. I really can't blame him."

"Then how did you two know each other?" Cao Guangyuan didn't believe it, so he asked how Cao Guangyi could be so kind that he was willing to pay for someone to come over out of his own pocket, whereas he only gave him fifteen yuan last night.

She must have broken up with Yao Taotao and came here specifically to take revenge on him.

He was like an enraged bear, looking at Cao Guangyi fiercely and demanding an explanation.

Cao Guangyi sighed helplessly, "It was that old Chinese doctor who prescribed me a folk remedy and told me to find some loaches to eat. This thing is known as the ginseng of water, which can replenish qi and nourish the kidneys and produce sperm. Don't I have azoospermia? I went to the commune below and found that Brother Lai Fu's production team happened to have a fish pond. If you don't believe me, ask him."

Xue Lai Fu was just worrying about how to find an excuse, but Cao Guangyi was smart. Although he didn't know whether Cao Guangyi was really sick, he knew that they did have a fish pond and there were indeed a lot of loaches.

I quickly replied, "Of course I did. I helped him dig out quite a bit from the mud pond. But you know, the commune is very strict these days, so I only dared to do it secretly a few times. I asked him to look in other communes, taking turns, so that he wouldn't get caught by the production team leader one day and be embarrassed to explain himself."

Cao Guangyi was very pleased. Xue Lai Fu was quite smart and his reason was very reasonable.

He agreed, "Then other communes had trouble getting it done, so I went to the vegetable market. You have to be lucky with this; it's not always available. If you don't believe me, look at me. I still haven't recovered. Alas, unlike you, you have daughters popping up one after another. It's such a blessing, it would be great if I could share some of it with you."

Cao Guangyuan still didn't believe it, but after hesitating for a moment, he finally let go of Cao Guangyi.

In fact, he was married for the second time and had two daughters before his remarriage. Even if he found a woman who had given birth to children, it would not be a disadvantage.

But the biggest problem in this matter is not whether Ma Xiangqin gave birth or not, but that he was completely kept in the dark and became a complete scapegoat.

Now he suddenly has two more cheap step-sons, who might come to ask for money from him often. He still has to be on good terms with Ma Xiangqin's first man. Why is he so disgusting?

I really want to leave now, go to Liutiao Hutong, hug Yao Yingying and cry bitterly.

But what identity does he have to cry?

Ex-husband? The father of her two daughters? Or the scumbag who forced her to divorce him in order to force her to have a son?

He covered his face and fell into the chair in pain, unable to utter a word.

Cao Guangyi quickly advised, "Brother, no matter what, you feel you've been cheated out of having a daughter. Actually, think positively. The fact that your sister-in-law gave birth to two sons means there will be more in the future. This daughter is here to repay your kindness and be a little cotton-padded jacket for you two. Right, Brother Laifu?"

Xue Laifu also tried to persuade him when he saw this: "Isn't that right, Guangyuan? The ginkgo tree at the entrance of the village has good and bad years. Even for a woman to give birth, the yin and yang must rotate to be more harmonious! Don't worry, the next time you give birth, it will definitely be a son."

As he spoke, Xue Lai Fu leaned over to Cao Guangyuan's ear and whispered something, and Cao Guangyuan's complexion visibly improved a little.

Because Xue Lai Fu said that he and Ma Xiangqin had secretly arranged a marriage, and the old charlatan said that Ma Xiangqin had a destiny of five blessings, which means that she was destined to have five sons.

Cao Guangyuan liked to hear this. No matter whether it was true or not, it was the only way for him to save face at the moment.

He calmed himself down and looked up at everyone. "Please don't tell anyone about this. I can't afford to lose face. The two children can play here and call me mom. Just tell everyone that I'm their godmother. As for Lele... just say she's my cousin."

"That's fine, Guangyuan, don't worry. For the sake of Dahai and Yangyang, Lele will also take good care of Xiangqin during her confinement." Xue Lai Fu breathed a sigh of relief. It would be great if the matter could be suppressed like this.

Anyway, he didn't want to get back together with Ma Xiangqin, and they didn't even get a marriage certificate or anything. If they were going to break up, then they were going to break up. He got two sons for free, so he didn't suffer any loss.

Now my son’s biological mother has moved to the city. How great! These two boys will have good fortunes in the future.

In short, the matter was resolved, and the group went to the mall the next day as planned to buy two sets of clothes for the two children.

Cao Guangyi was very generous. After all, he was neither his son nor his stepson. He only needed to give some money occasionally to gain a good reputation as a generous uncle.

As for the child’s biological parents, including Cao Guangyuan, well, it’s hard to say.

My biological father is poor, my biological mother is heartless, and my stepfather is neither good at controlling me nor good at ignoring me. I have three daughters, so I can't be generous to him.

Even if he still can't have children in the future, at least he can make Dahai and Yangyang his lackeys.

His elder brother's hard days are yet to come, just wait and see.

The most satisfying thing is that Xue Laile’s shouting last night was heard by someone, and someone came early this morning to inquire about the two children.

He pretended to be embarrassed and hesitated to speak, and the more he did so, the more unbearable it became.

Soon someone learned from Xue Laile that she was from the Red Lantern Commune. After asking her relatives in her hometown, they could guess the answer almost exactly.

Whenever Cao Guangyuan walked on the street, there were always people talking about him. Their eyes were full of amusement. Some were sympathetic, some were gloating, and some were indignant, probably because they felt sorry for Yao Yingying.

His intuition told him that he could no longer hide the matter, but there was no other way. He had to continue on his knees along the path he had chosen.

Cao Guangyi, wait! Wait until I have a son, and it'll be useless for you to be unhappy!

When Yao Zhizhi received the invitation, she was a little confused.

She read the invitation over and over again, confirming that it was not a prank, and then looked at Qi Changxiao: "Did you know that Chu Lingyi and Director Zhang are getting married?"

"I don't know." Qi Changxiao didn't have the time to care about Chu Lingyi's affairs. He took the invitation and couldn't help sighing, "When adults act recklessly, only children get hurt."

"Yeah, I don't know if Shan Yong has remarried. With a son, it probably won't be that easy." Yao Zhizhi asked, "How about we do it the same way as before and let Mom go for two dollars?"

"Well, we won't go. There's no need." Qi Changxiao threw the invitation away without taking it seriously. Although they lived in the same alley, who would want to associate with someone like Chu Lingyi? He would never know what would happen if he got bitten one day.

In the height of July, Chu Lingyi got married in a grand and magnificent manner.

Although it was her second marriage, the scale of her wedding was even more exaggerated than many first marriages. She looked like a villain who had succeeded in her career. She wore her newly bought red floral dress and sat on the back of the bicycle, looking as proud as a peacock with its tail raised.

After sleeping together, I found out that Director Zhang was anxious to get married so that someone could take care of the child. However, Chu Lingyi had to work and was busy. Plus, it was summer vacation, so she had no choice but to suggest, "Let my mother take care of the child. She doesn't work anyway. I'll send the child to her when I get home. You should cheer up and don't look so lifeless. I didn't provoke you."

Director Zhang said nothing. He got up in the middle of the night and squatted at the door, smoking for two hours.

Two days later, early in the morning, Chu's mother was preparing for her daughter's homecoming banquet.

Father Chu also took a day off to help out at home. Sitting in the yard, he sighed as he butchered fish. "Is Ling Ze planning to cut off all contact with us forever? Ling Yi didn't come home for her wedding, and she didn't come back for her parents' visit. In my opinion, you should come and apologize in person."

"I won't go. What mother would apologize to her son? Besides, I feel bad for Lingyi, but I haven't really treated him badly. For over a year now, hasn't Lingyi been asked to send the money over as soon as he gets paid every month? He's the one who's ignoring me. What can I do?"

Father Chu sighed: "That's what I said, but if we continue to be so stiff, people will laugh at us."

"Don't worry, just wait. My daughter-in-law is about to give birth. We have to find someone to take care of her during the confinement period, right? I don't believe he can hold on to the end." Mother Chu wanted to take a gamble. After all, Li Xiaorui had a crazy sister, and she wouldn't be able to handle it by then.

Mr. Chu couldn't persuade her, so he had to give up. The old couple prepared three dishes and a soup, waiting for the new son-in-law to come in. When they were done, they saw that the son-in-law was holding his and Lu Yuan's child in his arms.

Mr. Chu's old face fell in an instant.

Chu Lingyi knew that her father would definitely be unhappy, but what could she do?

This was her best option, so she could just make do with it. Besides, she had a child of her own, right? It was even.

She smiled and took the child from Director Zhang's arms, and brought him to Father Chu: "Xiaobao, call grandpa."

The child refused to cry, turned his head and snuggled into Director Zhang's arms.

Director Zhang loved the child and quickly took it. He smiled at Mr. Chu and said, "I'm sorry, Dad. The child is shy. He will be fine in a couple of days."

Mr. Chu said nothing, and with a sour face, he went to the kitchen to find a small stool for the child to sit on.

During the meal, Chu Lingyi suggested that her mother take care of the child. Chu's mother was stunned for a moment and wanted to refuse: "But... your sister-in-law is about to give birth, and I will definitely be too busy by then."

"Did I allow you to take care of her? Didn't I tell you? Every time she takes the money, she doesn't even look at me, as if I were her enemy. You are not allowed to interfere in her affairs. If you do, you should live with them and let them take care of you in your old age." Chu Lingyi was very rude.

Father Chu was really speechless. This daughter was becoming more and more outrageous!

Yes, she was the factory director's wife now, but she didn't think about whether Director Zhang had her in his heart. There was also a child from the previous woman standing in front of her. Whether they had more children or not, they would have conflicts in the future. What would she do when she didn't have her brothers to support her?

He can figure it out, but she doesn't?

No, she understood. She should be like her mother, waiting for her brother to bow his head.

The more Father Chu thought about it, the more he felt bad. Why didn't he take care of his own child, but gave it to someone else's family? Isn't this crazy?

He slammed his chopsticks on the table, stood up and left.

Tang Fengyuan was having dinner in the small courtyard at the back. Not only her, but all the members of the two families were there.

There is no way. It is very hot in the summer, and the small courtyard by the lake is cool. The breeze carries the moisture from the lake, which is very comfortable.

If there is not enough space for ten adults and six children, just split them into two tables. It will be so lively.

Especially Xiaoyue, who spoke much more fluently than last year. During the meal, she even praised Shen Qingwan who cooked: "The meatballs made by Aunt Wan are so delicious!"

After praising Shen Qingwan, he didn’t forget to bring water and praise Aunt Gao who cooked yesterday: “The meat cooked by Aunt Gao is also very fragrant.”

The adults were laughing, and the older brothers and sisters couldn't help laughing as well.

At this moment, something bad happened. Old Chu called out from the door, "Old Tang, please help me. I want Ling Yi and Ling Ze to separate the family business again. Do you think it's possible?"
