Upon transmigration, Yu Xiangnian became a shrew in a military family compound during the 1970s. Her husband didn't love her, "her" children weren't close to her, and the neighbors ...
Yu Xiangyang took two steps back in horror.
He just said a few words to help Qiu Yang, so he shouldn't be punished with death, right?!
Cheng Jingmo was concentrating on observing Qiu Dahui, always ready.
Yu Xiangnian was sitting in front of Qiu Dahui, and he was afraid that Qiu Dahui would kick Yu Xiangnian.
After staying calm for most of the night, Qiu Dahui was no longer as excited. His chest was heaving with anger, but he didn't do anything.
Yu Xiangnian looked at Qiu Dahui anxiously for a long time, and only felt relieved when he saw that he had no intention of hitting them.
"Uncle Qiu, Aunt Yang, it was wrong of us to hide this from you." Yu Xiangnian first apologized sincerely, "Actually, I lied to you when I came home that day and said those things. I feel guilty too. I'm really sorry."
Qiu Dahui pursed his lips angrily, while Yang Jie was still sad about Qiu Yang being beaten and hospitalized.
Yu Jiashun and Zhao Ruozhu were also angry. Such a big thing happened, but these children kept it a secret and even covered up for Qiu Yang.
Yu Xiangnian said calmly, "The reason we're willing to help Qiu Yang keep this a secret is because we believe he's done nothing wrong."
She will be leaving the day after tomorrow and will not be able to take care of Qiu Yang's affairs.
While everyone was here tonight, she said everything she needed to say, and finally helped Qiu Yang.
The four old men looked at Yu Xiangnian in anger and shock at the same time.
Isn’t this considered a wrong thing?!
There are three unfilial acts: not having descendants is the worst!
What's more, what Qiu Yang and Sun Yichuang did was simply immoral, unorthodox, and morally corrupt!
"Qiu Yang just likes men," Yu Xiangnian said. "Maybe in your eyes, he's unfilial and rebellious, but it's not what he wants, and there's nothing he can do about it. He has a sexual orientation disorder and can't like women."
The four old men had never heard of it.
Men should like women!
What do you mean by "can't like women"? All men in the world like women, but Qiu Yang and Sun Yichuan can't?!
Yu Xiangnian said: "In fact, there are many men like Qiu Yang. However, these men choose to hide their sexual orientation, find a woman to marry, and some even have children. On the surface, they live a normal life, but secretly they still find another man. They not only hurt the woman, but also the child."
"Qiu Yang and Sun Yichuan are kinder and nobler than these people!" Yu Xiangnian said. "It would be easy for them to find a woman to marry and complete their mission, but they would rather withstand the pressure from their parents and society than hurt any woman."
Qiu Yang and Sun Yichuang are both men in their thirties. Single men of such an old age do have to endure criticism and strange looks from many people in society.
"Of course, they hurt their parents," Yu Xiangnian said. "They knew their parents' expectations of them, their only expectations of them, but they couldn't meet them. In this respect, they felt the same pain as you, and they felt an added layer of guilt."
"Actually, they don't have to come back. If they stay abroad, you can't do anything to them. People here don't know about their affairs, and they don't have to face the criticism of others."
"Just like Sun Yichuan said, they came back to serve society and provide for their parents until their death. Their intentions were good, but society couldn't accept them. They endured not only the pain of feeling guilty towards their parents, but also the pain of being looked down upon by others."
Qiu Dahui and Yang Jie were stunned when they heard this.
After they heard about this, they were just angry and sad, and didn't consider Qiu Yang's perspective at all.
Yu Xiangnian continued, "Qiu Yang's sexual orientation problem can't be changed by beating and scolding him. If it could be changed, he would have adjusted on his own long ago. Since this is something that cannot be changed..."
Yu Xiangnian paused, "Uncle Qiu, Aunt Yang, if you insist on Qiu Yang finding a woman to marry, he will be even more miserable."
Yu Jiashun and Zhao Ruozhu looked at Qiu Dahui and Yang Jie at the same time. The two of them lowered their eyes, and no one knew what they were thinking.
Yu Xiangnian said: "Those outsiders blame and ridicule Qiu Yang and Sun Yichuan, but we are Qiu Yang's friends and family. Even if we can't support them, we should at least not hurt them."
"Uncle and aunt, I understand you. Qiu Yang is your only hope. If something like this happens, not only will he be unable to carry on the family line, but it will also bring shame upon you. You think this is immoral, dishonorable, and even sinful, tantamount to committing a crime. But for us, the four young people in this room, this is not a sin. Qiu Yang is just different from us. He likes the same sex."
Zhao Ruozhu's frown relaxed.
In fact, when you think about it carefully, what Nian Nian said makes sense.
Qiu Yang didn't want to like men, but he had no choice. Besides, liking men was not a crime.
Maybe it's because the incident didn't happen to them, so they are more easily persuaded.
Yu Jiashun was also somewhat convinced.
Yu Xiangnian said, "This incident has become such a big deal because someone deliberately did it. Three people can make a tiger, and the rumors spread like wildfire. Actually, Qiu Yang and Sun Yichuan were very restrained outside and were very careful about the impact."
Yu Jiashun thought to himself, that's right! He had dined with Qiu Yang and Sun Yichuan before, and had never noticed any such shady dealings between them.
Yu Xiangnian told the story of Qiu Yang and his colleagues competing for the position of director.
Yu Jiashun slapped his thigh, "There's such a thing?!"
He lived an upright life and hated people who used despicable means the most.
Zhao Ruozhu glared at him and said, "Why are you so excited? Wait until Nian Nian finishes what she is saying."
Qiu Dahui and Yang Jie were almost convinced by Nian Nian, but she interrupted and interfered!
Yu Xiangnian blinked at Jiashun twice and added, "The four young people here can respect their preferences, and there are many young people outside who can understand them just as well. Times are changing, and with more and more people becoming educated, our society will become more open and inclusive. Perhaps in a few years, people like Qiu Yang will no longer be viewed with strange eyes and will no longer face social and moral judgment."
"Uncle, Auntie, we all know you just want Qiu Yang to be happy, and Qiu Yang knows that too. But the happiness Qiu Yang wants is at odds with your idea of happiness. You and Qiu Yang should calm down for a few days, think carefully, and then have a frank conversation. There's always a solution to every problem. Stop beating and scolding Qiu Yang; it's hurting your bodies."
After Yu Xiangnian finished speaking, the living room was quiet for a while.
Everyone was shocked or touched by Yu Xiangnian's words.
Qiu Dahui and Yang Jie had complicated emotions. They were touched and sad, but also less resentful.
Yu Jiashun raised his eyebrows proudly. His daughter was indeed a diplomat. What she said was well-reasoned and pleasing to the ear.
Cheng Jingmo was also very proud. Although he had always known that Yu Xiangnian was very capable and good at persuading others, he was also touched tonight.
"Okay!" A sudden roar broke the silence.
