Chapter 79 Three Generations Return to the Clan 3
Chapter 3
Qi Qi looked at Zhang Xiayang in confusion. "So what are you unhappy about? Isn't my company what you want?"
"It was you who did it!" Zhang Xiayang glared at Qi Qi as if he were an enemy. "What on earth did you do? Why did everything go so wrong?"
Qi Qi cleaned the dishes and chopsticks neatly, not stopping his work as he spoke. "What are you seeking? What kind of life do you want?"
"Mom, what are you going to do?"
Qi Qi looked at Zhang Xiayang. "I'm your mother. Whatever life you want, shouldn't I give it to you? I've known for a long time. You wanted the surname Zhang, and now you have it. Your father feels that marrying into the family ruined his life, and you prefer to live with the Zhang family. Isn't this good now?"
The three members of the Zhang family left Qi Qi in panic. At this time, Qi Qi had become a devil in their eyes.
"Dad, why did you marry her in the first place? If you had been with Aunt Yang, none of this would have happened." Zhang Xiayang clutched his hair in agony. "My mom has gone crazy."
"But..." Zhang Chunhui said embarrassedly, "This is all what we want."
He looked at his hands, felt a lump in his throat, and couldn't help sighing.
He has nothing now, and he can't tell whether the rich life is fake or everything in front of him is fake.
"What are you talking about? Are you still my son? I have raised you in vain all these years."
"But, was it Dad who raised us?" Zhang Chunhui said, "If it weren't for the Xu family, we wouldn't be able to live such a wealthy life. Even now, even without the Xu family, Dad didn't raise us. Mom still earns the most money, and it's Mom who takes care of us after work. Dad... Even before, when Dad took care of us, he just left us with a nanny."
"Zhang Chunhui, are you crazy? Are you still my son? How can you say such unfilial words?"
Zhang Junzhuo also looked at Zhang Chunhui with great disappointment, "I really wish I had never given birth to a son like you. I didn't expect you to be like this. You are not filial at all."
Zhang Junzhuo and Zhang Xiayang left. Their backs were so determined as they left, as if they were forcibly isolating the unsociable Zhang Chunhui in another world.
Zhang Chunhui looked towards home.
He walked slowly and finally saw Qi Qi.
"Mom, what did you do?" Why did everything become so different? He really couldn't tell what was real and what was fake.
He even felt that a hot-tempered personality like Zhang Xiayang's was a good thing, as it allowed him to ignore all the unreasonable things in front of him.
Qi Qi looked at Zhang Chunhui doubtfully, "Did your father scold you? Well, you've been like this since you were little, you always like to stick close to your mother."
Qi Qi held Zhang Chunhui in his arms and gently stroked his hair. "Okay, you're not a child anymore. Go wash up and go to bed."
Zhang Chunhui gradually remembered many things from the past.
It is not Zhang Chunhui's life, but Xu Chunhui's life.
Mom is not always busy. She will play with them in her free time.
She also cares about their studies and accompanies them to the amusement park.
When did it change?
It was Zhang Junzhuo who told them over and over again that their mother only used them.
Every day when they went to Zhang's house, those flattering and fawning looks gradually made them lose their consciousness as sons.
It is the resentment that comes from being punished by your mother after doing something wrong.
"Maybe...it would have been great if I had never been born."
Zhang Xiayang found a girlfriend.
A rich girl.
He said that even if he became Zhang Xiayang and even without the support of the Xu family, he would definitely be able to find a way to change his class.
Fang Sisi is a girl with a lot of ideas. As an only child, she has never suffered any grievances since childhood. She has a free and easy personality and doesn't care whether her partner is rich or not.
She likes Zhang Xiayang and wants to be with Zhang Xiayang.
"I am the only daughter of my parents. Actually, we have no other plans. We just want one of our children to have my surname when we have children in the future."
Both of them were preparing to meet their parents, but when they suddenly heard Fang Sisi's request, he immediately disagreed.
"How can that be possible? If the surname is Fang, it will be bad for the child. When they ask, oh, his father's surname is Zhang, people will think I'm his stepfather."
Fang Sisi snorted, "At worst, we can have two children. One can have the surname Zhang and the other Fang."
"That would be even worse. If the two children have different surnames, people would think they have different parents and are a reconstituted family!"
Fang Sisi's face turned pale. "Why not? What kind of society is this? Does a child's surname matter?"
"It's not important, but for the child's physical and mental development..."
"What's there to develop? Whether it's your last name or mine, they're all my children. They're your children, right? At worst, you can get a DNA paternity test, and then when you meet someone, you can stick the test results on their forehead."
Zhang Xiayang blushed when he was told that. If he really dared to do it, Fang Sisi would immediately scold him and break up with him.
"Didn't you say you have an older brother? Wouldn't it be fine if your brother's children had the surname Zhang? The bloodline of your Zhang family won't be cut off. Why do you insist that my children also have the surname Zhang?"
Zhang Xiayang was a little hesitant.
"Think it over. If you don't agree, forget it. At worst, I can find someone else. I can just find someone with the last name Fang. Then we won't have to argue. I don't care whose last name it is."
Having said that, Fang Sisi turned around and was about to leave.
Zhang Xiayang was not willing to do that.
It took a lot of effort to coax Fang Sisi. He was fed up with the cramped room, fed up with his father's snoring every day, fed up with his aunt's eyes that were not flattering but mocking, and fed up with the footsteps, noise, the sound of iron sheets colliding, and the chaotic shouting coming from everywhere in the three-story building.
He felt as if his life was trapped by something and there was no chance of escape.
Now there is finally an opportunity.
Not to mention having two children, and only one of them has the surname Zhang, he would be willing to marry into the family.
He began to resent.
If my father had chosen to marry into the family, his life would still be the same as before, full of feasting and revelry.
He doesn't have to think about anything at all. The Xu family has more money than he can spend in his lifetime. All he needs to do is have the surname Xu.
It's all my father's fault for being too impatient. If he hadn't revealed his ambition so quickly and let my mother know that he wanted to change his last name...
Zhang Xiayang took Fang Sisi to meet his parents.
Qi Qi was very satisfied with Fang Sisi. When he heard that they were planning to have two children, one with the surname Fang and the other with the surname Zhang, Qi Qi had no intention of stopping them.
Zhang Junzhuo responded immediately.
He seemed to think of everything he had been through, and said he was unwilling to do it no matter what. "No, how can you marry into the family? This matter is not negotiable."
Zhang Xiayang said, "Dad, it's not marrying into the wife's family. It's just giving birth to two children, one with the surname Zhang and the other with the surname Fang."
"That won't do either. It's so bad for the child's mental development. If the child's last name is Fang, who knows if he's still our Zhang family's child? No, no matter what I say, it won't do."
Zhang Xiayang looked at Qi Qi for help.
Qi Qi smiled and patted Zhang Xiayang's hand, "My child, your father and I only have you as our son. It's normal for your father to worry..."
"What do you mean you only have one son?" Zhang Xiayang pulled his hand back abruptly and looked at Qi Qi in horror, "Where's Zhang Chunhui?"
Zhang Junzhuo also noticed something was wrong. "What nonsense are you talking about, Xu Mingyan? Are you up to something again?"
Qi Qi looked at Zhang Junzhuo in confusion, "You are the one. Why are you shouting so loudly? Xia Yang is our only child."
Zhang Junzhuo jumped up, ran quickly into the room and looked for their family photo.
He finally found it among the junk. He raised his hand and shouted at Qi Qi, "What are you trying to do? I won't believe you. This is our family photo. Look, Chunhui is right here..."
He suddenly stopped holding up the family portrait and looked at Qi Qi with a dull look, "No... Impossible... How could it be..."
There are only three people in that family photo.
Qi Qi, Zhang Junzhuo, and Zhang Xiayang.
There is no Zhang Chunhui.
"Husband, are you sick? Why are you talking nonsense?"
Fang Sisi stood at the door, her hands loosened their grip instantly, and she squinted her eyes. "Zhang Xiayang, are you an only child?"
"What only child? We are two brothers!" Zhang Xiayang tried to explain it all.
Fang Sisi stopped Zhang Xiayang from getting closer. "Before we started dating, I made it very clear that I wouldn't date an only child. It would be bad if you came up with something like the Three Generations Returning to the Clan thing when I'm old and disgusted me."
Fang Sisi quickly stepped back, avoiding Zhang Xiayang's hand. "That's enough. Let's stop here. Let's break up before our feelings become too deep."
Fang Sisi left without hesitation. Her fundamental purpose was to find someone who would accept her giving birth to a child with the surname Fang.
That's why she wouldn't look for an only child. Although two brothers might also encounter ungrateful people, the probability is at least much smaller than that of an only child.
Zhang Xiayang cried and shouted, but was unable to make Fang Sisi stop.
Zhang Junzhuo spit out a mouthful of disgust. "You're dreaming of having my son marry into your family!"
This time, Zhang Xiayang was not as resentful towards the son-in-law as Zhang Junzhuo.
During his time at the Zhang family, he deeply understood that without money, he was nothing.
If you have money, you can talk about love and romance, and you can consider the surname, but you need dignity and status.
Without money, you are nothing.
He lowered his head and blamed Zhang Junzhuo for everything. He was the one who messed up everything.
"Alright, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come. It's just a woman!" Zhang Junzhuo snorted and said, "Your uncle wants us to have something. It's a major event for the Zhang family. Let's get ready and go."
