169 Ping An Appeals to Emotion
For Wan Changsheng, these days were not easy. On one side was his wife with a big belly, and on the other side was a once-in-a-lifetime misfortune.
When he saw Chang Chunfeng in person, he lost half of his anger, but the other half was why he refused to give in. It was because of Ping An. As long as Ping An didn't say he wanted to leave and didn't want them anymore, he wouldn't give in.
But I am also worried that when the child grows up, he will be annoyed with him. On one side is his biological father who is an official, and on the other side is his stepfather who is nothing. Anyone would choose his biological father, right?
But he couldn't bear to do it.
Ping'an is at his home and can visit his father at any time, and he won't have any objections. But if Ping'an leaves, Chang Chunfeng will not let him come back to see him and Mei Niang. Over time, the child's feelings for him fade.
This was something neither Mei Niang nor he could tolerate.
Also, Uncle Sun had told him that this pregnancy was really an accident, and it was unknown whether she would have another child in the future. Even the baby in her belly now could be a boy or a girl.
He was happy with both boys and girls, but if he didn't have a son, what would happen to him and Mei Niang a hundred years later? If there was no one in mourning, wouldn't it be a waste of his life?
This is his selfish desire.
As a result of several factors, Wan Changsheng developed a high fever that night and became a little confused. Fortunately, Sun Hongyu was living in the side room and helped the frightened Mei Niang to get her pregnancy back in time.
Mei Niang has to give birth at the end of May or the beginning of June. If she gives birth now, it will be more than 20 days early, which is not good for both the child and the adults.
Sun Hongyu immediately carried Changsheng to his room and asked Tongmiao to accompany Mei Niang. He told Mei Niang that Changsheng might have caught a cold and living together would affect the child.
Mei Niang believed it without a doubt. Uncle Sun was a family member and had good medical skills, so he could certainly take care of her husband much better than she could.
Wan Changsheng woke up one night and found himself in Uncle Sun's room. His whole body ached, and he felt weak and powerless. He knew he was sick.
Just as he stood up, Sun Hongyu walked in: "Are you awake? Are you feeling better? Are you so weak?"
Wan Changsheng's eyes suddenly turned red, and he felt extremely sad. "Uncle, I can't bear to leave my child."
"Are you a fool? The child has clearly said that he won't leave. He has been included in your family tree, has your surname, and has agreed to be a son shared by both families. What else can Chang Chunfeng do?
If things really get out of hand, we are not afraid. Not to mention that I have the eldest son as my backer, even I can go to the general. The general and his son have promised me that if there is anything that cannot be solved, I can go to them. "
Wan Changsheng shook his head, his voice choking with sobs: "Uncle, I'm worried that Ping An will blame me for delaying his development when he grows up."
"You are still confused. Can't Ping An earn what he wants in the future? Does he need a biological father? No, you can just wait to become an old man in the future.
Changsheng, treat him sincerely, he is your biological son. I dare not say anything about other children. Ping'an is not an ungrateful person. It doesn't matter whether this baby is a boy or a girl. If it is a boy, it will be two sons. If it is a girl, it will be just a pair of children. Don't think about these useless things.
It's already daybreak, get up and go to the clinic with me. I told your wife yesterday that I was afraid you had a cold, so you should stay at my place when you come back tonight, just in case she suspects you, and I want her to give birth in the month."
Wan Changsheng nodded, and just as he got off the kang, he staggered. Sun Hongyu held him up, sighing and shaking his head.
In the middle of the morning, Ping'an found out that his stepfather had a fever last night, needless to say it was because of this matter.
After thinking it over, he decided to go find his biological father himself.
Sun Wen did not stop him, but only let Xiao Wu and Lin Feng follow him. The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Sometimes others just can't do anything. He has no plans to step in for the time being.
Chang Chunfeng thought hard for half the morning and was about to go find the eldest master. He really didn't have any acquaintances in the capital city, and since the matter had not been resolved, he had no intention of looking for Yu Yang.
When he heard the "knock knock knock" sound on the door, he was moved, because his son knocked in the same way the last time he came.
Sure enough, it was his son standing at the door.
"Dashun, you're here, come in quickly."
Ping An walked in and said without beating around the bush: "Dad, I want to talk to you."
Chang Chunfeng looked at his son and said, "Dad will listen to you in everything, but you can't stay in the Wan family. Your mother has already been taken away by him, and you are my only son."
Ping An sat down and looked at his father: "You are already a Jinshi, what do you mean he has taken my mother? She has already divorced you, with a matchmaker and a betrothal, and you are a formal couple."
Chang Chunfeng knew that he was being unreasonable, but he knew very well that his wife lived in a house not far away and he might never see her again in his life. What kind of man could live so miserably?
"Dad, please listen to me today and don't interrupt me if I'm wrong. There's no one here except us, father and son. Even if you think it's unfilial, please wait until I finish speaking before punishing me.
You had an accident and were rescued. Even if you lost your memory after waking up, the first thing you should think of is that you are not young and may have already married and have children. This possibility is not impossible, so don't interrupt me.
In this situation, you still got married. Although I was young, I knew that even if Qi Jiaojiao blackmailed you and you couldn't refuse, you could always take a concubine, or remarry after you found a home and found yourself single.
You married and had children outside, and my mother stayed at home to serve your parents, endured hunger, and sent your two elderly people off for you, wearing mourning clothes. It was three full years before she considered remarrying. No, it should be said that she sold herself and her son for the Chang family, so it was a one-for-one deal.
Don't interrupt me, this is exactly what happened. The creditor was very cruel, and the mother and her son could not pay back the debt. Someone was old and needed a son, so one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten.
Dad, to be honest, my mother and I have sold ourselves for the Chang family. Our flesh and blood have paid off their debts, and we haven't taken a penny from them. If you ask me what Wan Ping'an's deepest feeling was in those years, it was hunger. I was hungry during the day and at night, so much so that at the age of seven I was still much shorter than people of the same age.
You may say that I am not short now, but that is not the case now. I have been eating well and having enough food in the past year, and my master has tried many ways to supplement my body. Logically, I am already a member of the Wan family and am included in the Wan family's genealogy, so I don't have to recognize you.
But I still call you dad. My stepfather Wan Changsheng is a very good man. He didn't stop me. I can't deny that I have feelings for you. Blood ties cannot be severed.
But I also have feelings for my mother. She gave birth to me and spoiled me. When things were most difficult, she would pick more wild vegetables for me. Now she still eats the medicated food given by my master. The hardships that the Chang family suffered are still being suffered by her now that she has remarried.
The second thing is that you divorced Qi Jiaojiao for various reasons and lost your child, but in order to be assigned an official position, you still accepted the marriage proposal from the Zhang family. Don’t say that you didn’t think about it at all at that time. I don’t believe it.
In your heart, the women in the backyard are nothing, and your official career is the most important. You are unwilling to give up on me. For one, I am your son, and currently your only son. Also, it is a matter of face, but you have never thought about me. Am I willing to live under the watchful eyes of my stepmother every day?
No woman is willing to treat her stepson more sincerely than her own son. No matter how much she says, it is just superficial. You are less than 30 years old and I am only eight years old. Please don't mind me saying this, but if my stepmother lives for another 40 years or more, I will have to live an unsatisfactory life in the backyard with my future wife and children for more than 40 years.
Dad, I don't want to. My eyes go dark just thinking about it."
