Old Man Chang disagreed with their decision but didn't dare to cause a scene. In a fit of anger, he ran away from home to his eldest daughter's house.
Chang Hongbing: "..."
Chen Zhaodi laughed at Old Man Chang for being a coward: "Look at you, it's a good thing Dad married Mom, which balanced out your family's genes, otherwise you would still be a good-for-nothing!"
The Chang sisters, along with their former brother-in-law and current cousin Chang Guofu, are failures.
Chang Hongbing sighed, "That's just how my dad is. You'll get used to it."
What can you do if you're not used to it? He's still his dad. I just hope his dad doesn't make too much of a scene, so things don't get out of hand.
Chang Lanhua's family.
Old Man Chang ate and drank while pouring out his grievances: "That brat Hongbing is heartless! He said if I get a divorce and remarry, he'll kick me out and make me rent a place with my retirement pension!"
He said calmly, "I'm not afraid at all. I have my own retirement pension, and I can support myself and Yan by renting a place to live!"
Aunt Yan, who was serving tea and water, paused upon hearing this.
Yan Dong narrowed her eyes instantly: "Grandpa, you're right, but that would mean Auntie would suffer with you. As her family, I can't agree to that. If that's the case, Auntie should stay at home. We don't need her to eat!"
That won't do!
Chang Lanhua smacked her lips, about to object, but Yan Dong tugged hard at her clothes.
When Chang Lanhua raised her head again, Aunt Yan was already leaning on Old Man Chang's shoulder, silently wiping away her tears.
Aunt Yan cried her eyes out: "Brother Chang, as long as I can be with you, I don't mind suffering a little. We have a long future ahead of us. It's just that I'm worried about my poor children who will be left without work after we move out. I was planning to bring them here to settle down after we got our marriage certificate, so the whole family could be reunited. Beijing is better than our hometown, but now I'm afraid..."
Old Man Chang's heart was breaking: "Young lady, please don't say such things. I'm so sorry, I deserve to die!"
Chang Lanhua pursed her lips. Aunt Yan Dong was really putting on a show, acting like someone had wronged her. They had only known each other for a few days, tsk tsk!
Yan Dong suddenly had an idea, and her eyes lit up: "Grandpa, since your uncles don't agree to your divorce and remarriage, then here's what I have to say, you two shouldn't rush into marriage!"
"How can this be! I can't let my young lady follow an old man like me without any proper understanding!"
Old Chang's cheeks bulged, his anger rising: "This marriage must go ahead! It's their business if they disagree, but if they dare to stop me, I'll disown them!"
Chang Lanhua almost burst out laughing on the spot. Even if she was stupid, she knew that Old Man Chang's threat was harmless.
The second brother obeyed Zhou Hongyu's every word, and now Chen Zhaodi was in charge of the eldest brother's family. These two women couldn't be happier that Old Man Chang ran off with another woman, so that it would save the family a lot of trouble.
At least Old Man Chang's retirement expenses were directly handed over.
If something happens to Old Man Chang outside, they can use it as an excuse to abandon him.
Aunt Yan's expression changed immediately. She grabbed Old Man Chang's clothes and said, "Brother Chang, I won't allow you to talk nonsense. If you cause a rift between father and son because of me, I will rather die than step into your house. From now on, we should have no further contact!"
"Young lady, you're so kind—"
Old Man Chang excitedly wiped his nose: "I heard it, I'll keep those unfilial descendants!"
Aunt Yan's brow relaxed as she looked at Yan Dong, who had just been about to speak: "Brother Chang, let's sit down and listen to what Xiao Dong has to say. Xiao Dong is a young man, quick-witted, and thinks further ahead than us old folks!"
She has to curry favor with Yan Dong, at least until she rightfully becomes the mistress of the Chang family, she will have to rely on Yan Dong's support.
Old Man Chang glanced at Yan Dong with some suspicion, then obediently let Aunt Yan pull him to sit down.
Yan Dong smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'll just give you a simple suggestion. You can do it if you want, or it's fine if you don't!"
Aunt Yan immediately declared her loyalty: "Xiao Dong, I always listen to you!"
Old Man Chang glanced at Aunt Yan, hesitated, and then followed: "Sister, if you want to listen, I want to listen too!"
Chang Lanhua rolled her eyes, finding it rather amusing. In all her life, this was the first time she had ever seen her father so adept at pleasing women. It turned out that his habit of being so careless was simply because he didn't care about her mother.
Her mother was so good, virtuous and kind, capable of doing housework and serving her husband, and she even brought a large courtyard house as part of her dowry. If it weren't for her mother's status, the Chang family wouldn't have had such comfortable housing.
Unfortunately, in her father's mind, her mother was just someone he was going to live with. Now that he sees she only has a few years left to live, he's already scrambling to find her a new partner. Men are just so despicable!
Yan Dong smiled but not into her eyes: "Grandpa, I know you feel that not getting a marriage certificate is unfair to Auntie, and Uncle and the others don't agree. I've come up with a good idea for you. I remember that the property certificate for the courtyard in Shuangdong Hutong should be in your possession, right?"
Chang Lanhua once said that since the property certificate was in Old Man Chang's hands, he wouldn't have to worry about his two uncles secretly taking all the compensation when the property was demolished in the future.
Aunt Yan understood immediately and looked at Old Man Chang excitedly. She was about to have a large courtyard in the capital!
Noticing the look Aunt Yan was giving him, Old Man Chang unconsciously puffed out his chest proudly: "Yes, that's right, the property certificate is in my hands, and it was originally in my name!"
Yan Dong covered the corner of his mouth with a cold smile: "That's right. Grandpa wants to give Auntie some security. Actually, it doesn't necessarily have to be a marriage certificate. As long as Auntie's name is added quietly, no matter who tries to cause trouble, it won't work. And then there's the demolition compensation later..."
Yes, demolition! Get rich! Get rich, get rich, get rich!
Aunt Yan's eyes gleamed with gold, as if she saw countless treasures of gold and silver being thrown at her.
...
Wornima!
Chang Lanhua couldn't laugh. She immediately stood up and objected, "Dad, I don't agree! Why add a name? You two can just get your marriage certificate. If my older brother and the others object, I'll speak up for them!"
Aunt Yan added her name to the property certificate, so the courtyard house in Shuangdong Hutong will probably have to change its surname.
Old Man Chang looked disapproving: "Lanhua, don't say such discouraging things. The marriage certificate and the property certificate are the same. My dear sister doesn't want anything from me, so I can't assume the worst about her, right, my dear sister?"
Aunt Yan looked smug, then lowered her head shyly, saying, "Yes, Lan Hua, I just want to stay by Brother Chang's side and be his companion in the future!"
However, if Old Man Chang loses his mind and insists on stuffing good things into her's hands, she promises not to refuse.
To gain something for nothing is a dream everyone wants to have.
Old Man Chang, embracing his beloved Aunt Yan, said something harsh to Chang Lanhua, a rare occurrence for him: "Lanhua, do you also want to sever ties with me? Come on, I don't need you anymore. You all sever ties with me, and I'll just leave the house to Meihua in the future!"
Old Chang also realized this. The property certificate was in his name, and he should be the eldest son. Why should he listen to these unfilial descendants?
If you disagree, sever all ties!
The eldest sister isn't childless. She's beautiful and kind-hearted, so the children she raises will definitely be better than the children Granny Chang gave birth to. Her future children will surely be even better!
