Chapter 87: Separation and Reality

At this moment, Lin Yiyi made a decision. She asked Ma Dongmei to hold Tiedan and wait for her here for a few minutes while she went to face the people in the room.

Lin Yiyi said to her parents-in-law, "Dad, Mom, Zhao Sheng doesn't know about this yet. I want to take Tiedan to the city and let Zhao Sheng make his own decision. I will send Tiedan away after he agrees."

Then he turned to Tiedan's biological father and said, "It will take at most three days. It won't delay anything. After all, the Zhao family has raised him for three years. Zhao Sheng needs to know and agree before he can be taken away."

After all, they had to watch their child grow up, so the Zhao family had no objection. Huang Haiming could only agree. Three more days would be fine, as he would still be detained for a few more days anyway.

After Lin Yiyi and Tiedan took a nearly two-hour bus ride to the county town, it was almost dinner time. They asked along the way before they found the transport team's dormitory building.

The gatekeeper didn't let her in because she looked unfamiliar. But when he saw that she was holding a child and didn't look like a bad person, he gave her a stool and let her sit down and wait.

Zhao Sheng and his colleague He Qi transported the goods back to the factory in the afternoon. They went to the office, got some food from the canteen and headed back. Unexpectedly, they met Lin Yiyi outside the factory dormitory building.

Zhao Sheng was even more surprised that she would come to the city to see him. His eyes suddenly lit up and his face was full of surprise. He almost ran towards the woman.

Lin Yiyi waited anxiously until the man finally came back. Her tone was full of urgency, "You are finally back. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Zhao Sheng felt that she was in a bad mood. He found that Lin Yiyi didn't even bring any luggage. At this time, he was a little worried, so he asked her: "What happened? Have you been waiting for a long time? Are you hungry?"

Lin Yiyi had no time to eat. People were coming and going in the dormitory, and it was not a convenient place to talk. She moved closer to the man and whispered, "I have something important to tell you, but it's not convenient for others to hear. Is there a convenient place for us to talk?"

Seeing her solemn expression, Zhao Sheng had something in mind. He turned around and said a few words to his colleague He Qi, then took Lin Yiyi back to the dormitory. The four-person dormitory where Zhao Sheng lived was very small, a small room of about ten square meters with a bunk bed on each side.

Lin Yiyi was anxious, so she put Tiedan on a chair and asked him to cover his ears and count loudly. After he counted five times from 1 to 20, she would take him to dinner.

Lin Yiyi pulled Zhao Sheng to the window. This was about the man's dignity and face. She could imagine how angry the man would be. She chose her words carefully and cautiously, trying to speak gently. "I want to tell you something. You will definitely be angry after hearing it, but can you promise me not to lose your temper in front of Tiedan, okay?"

Zhao Sheng said nothing, feeling confused. After thinking for a while, he finally agreed to Lin Yiyi's request.

Lin Yiyi explained the whole story to the man in detail, but she stopped when she talked about what happened after finding Tiedan. Zhao Sheng looked puzzled. He was not angry about such a close call, and thought Lin Yiyi was making a fuss out of nothing.

But looking at her expression, I'm afraid the matter is not that simple. The man's thin lips moved slightly, "Go on."

"Huang Qiuyan was adopted by the Huang family. She had a secret affair with her brother Huang Haiming and gave birth to a son. The person who took Tiedan away from the village was Huang Haiming... Huang Haiming had an accident and could no longer have children. He wanted to take his biological son back. When his family found out about this, they were very angry and decided to let Tiedan return to the Huang family. But I think you should have been consulted about this matter first and you should have made the decision yourself, so I brought the child to find you."

Lin Yiyi finished speaking in one breath, using words as subtle as possible, but the truth still made the man look ugly, and he was so angry that veins on his forehead were throbbing.

No man with blood in his veins can tolerate being labeled as a father.

Lin Yiyi wanted to comfort him, but just as she hugged his waist, Zhao Sheng said something in a low voice.

The voice was very soft. Lin Yiyi was afraid that she had heard it wrong, so she moved closer and asked again, "What did you just say?"

"It's okay." In just a moment, the man returned to normal, without any sign of being angry.

But the more this happens, the scarier it is, okay? It's totally abnormal, and Lin Yiyi is a little worried.

"I have a day off tomorrow. I will send the people back to Huang's house. You go home and pack your luggage. I will pick you up after I finish my work. After the factory allocates a house, you can live with me in the city."

It's not his child, so there's no reason to keep it. I was a little angry at first, but now I understand everything. It turns out that he didn't touch that woman at all on the wedding day.

The man sneered, put his tongue against the back of his teeth and then chuckled.

On the wedding day, the Huang brothers forced him to drink as much as they could, with this in mind.

Treating the Zhao family like monkeys is too much.

But some accounts need to be settled.

Lin Yiyi's heart beat violently: "..."

What should come doesn’t come, but what shouldn’t come comes instead.

Zhao Sheng watched the woman in front of him make her decision, hugged her back, and let Lin Yiyi and Tiedan eat first. He ran back to the cafeteria and got another meal.

Then he discussed with his partner He Qi and decided that Lin Yiyi would stay overnight, so He Qi could stay in the dormitory next door for the night. The other two roommates happened to be out on a bus and were not in the dormitory, so it saved a lot of trouble.

He only received the key to the house allocated by the factory in the afternoon. There was nothing inside and it was completely uninhabitable.

Lin Yiyi spent the night lying on the bed with her clothes on, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. She didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment. She felt like she was being pulled in two, one half was the female's overflowing psychology, and the other half was the reality of the situation.

Tangled and twisted.

The principle is understood, but it is difficult to put into practice.

A sleepless night.

In the morning, Lin Yiyi was dressed neatly. The man brought back steamed buns and coarse grain steamed buns from the canteen. He gave two meat buns to Lin Yiyi, and he and Tiedan ate the coarse grain steamed buns.

Influenced by modern humanitarianism, respecting the elderly and loving the young, and giving priority to women and children, Lin Yiyi gave a bun to Tiedan.

Zhao Sheng saw it and frowned unhappily. He only gave her meat buns because she was his wife. He would not give them to anyone else.

The cafeteria limits each person to two meat buns per day, and you have to hurry early to grab one. It is cheaper than the state-owned restaurants outside and has more meat filling.

Lin Yiyi looked at the colorful whole grain steamed buns on the table and found it difficult to eat. Knowing that the man was good to her, she gave him a bite of the bun to taste. Half of it would not be enough for her.

Zhao Sheng took a bite of the bun and felt a little relieved when he saw that she cared about him. In the end, he didn't say anything.

After dinner, Lin Yiyi hugged Tiedan and kissed his face. Thinking that Zhao Sheng would send him away soon, she was reluctant to let him go. But looking into his innocent eyes, she finally opened her mouth and told him the truth that he could not understand.

"Does the baby still remember the order of numbers?"

Tiedan nodded obediently. How could he not know it since he recited it every day?

Lin Yiyi remained gentle and smiled, "Each number has its order and cannot be placed in the wrong place. But God made this mistake and placed the baby in our house by mistake. Now he wants to correct it and let the baby return to his real home... Don't cry..."

The little guy's eyes were full of tears, and he was crying in grievance. Lin Yiyi hurriedly wiped Tiedan's tears. Seeing him crying silently, she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Children are particularly sensitive to the emotional atmosphere in the family.

Tiedan should understand.
