504 Father and Son Talk
Ping'an went to see Dawu again without stopping and asked him to take his people to move into the house in the city immediately. In the evening, he went to the master's house to get the list and notebook, and then do as they said.
The groom was a young lady and it was his first time getting into a sedan chair, so he was completely clueless.
In the afternoon, when Ping'an arrived at Chang's house, his father had not yet returned home. Only Chang Yan and his stepmother were there.
Chang Yan wanted to play with him, but his mother stopped him by saying he was doing homework.
Perhaps because his biological father was not at home, Zhang Jinyu treated him very coldly and distantly this time.
Was it because of him that her father banned her from traveling? Or was it because she knew about the betrothal gift her father had given her?
In fact, his current assets plus cash are definitely more than 250,000 taels, and are increasing at a rate of at least 40,000 to 50,000 taels per year.
He is not short of money, and he has to accept what his biological father gives him now, but he will give him more in return in the future, so it is impossible for him to take it for nothing.
Even though it is the father's responsibility to take the betrothal gift when his son gets married.
Ping'an greeted his stepmother and returned to the second courtyard that belonged to him with a calm expression.
If someone respects him a foot, he will return the favor a yard. If someone treats him well, he will treat them even better. If someone doesn't care about him, he will keep his distance and avoid them, right?
Chang Yan seems to be a good person now, so he should help him more in the future, at least financially. Chang Jin is cold to him, so let it be, no one's money comes from the wind.
In the evening, Chang Chunfeng hurried home.
"Ping An, are you impatient? There are so many things to do today, so I really can't bring it forward sooner."
"It's okay. I won't leave tonight. We can sleep on the same kang and have a good chat."
Chang Chunfeng laughed and said, "Okay, we'll chat here after dinner."
Ping An picked up the package next to him and said, "Dad, I asked the embroiderer to make it for you a few days ago. It has two colors that can be washed and changed. It's just right for wearing in April and May."
Chang Chunfeng opened it and said, "This color makes me look too young, doesn't it? Dad is already 38 years old, he is old."
"Dad, this is great. I have one of a similar color. When we go back home, we can wear father-son outfits. Maybe people will think we are brothers."
Chang Chunfeng burst into laughter.
He is especially relaxed in front of his son, which may be the power of blood.
Zhang Jinyu was just coming over to call them to eat, but she stopped involuntarily. She couldn't remember how long it had been since he smiled at her like this, and they hadn't even slept in the same bed for a long time.
She didn't want to be enthusiastic towards Ping An in the afternoon, so she treated him coldly out of will.
She knew in her heart that this was wrong, but she just couldn't control herself and wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction.
The eldest brother took her back and analyzed the situation to her. The eldest sister-in-law thought she was incredible. They said that she had such a good stepson who didn't require them to worry about him at all and had a bright future. Why not treat him well? It would also be good for her own children and her husband would like him too.
My sister-in-law thinks that everyone would know what to do.
Why is she such a smart person, but always does stupid things?
In fact, she didn't know what was wrong. The colder her husband treated her, the more she wanted to show her displeasure to Ping An. Even though she knew it was wrong, she just couldn't control herself.
Her father was very disappointed with her and told her directly that if she did anything bad to Ping An, Chang Chunfeng would divorce her directly and would not be allowed to move back to her parents' home.
Divorce? No, she doesn't want to divorce.
Her husband is young and promising, and their two children are lively and lovely. Why should she divorce and live alone in the village?
"My husband, it's safe. It's time to eat."
…
"Dad, I was stunned when I found out about the wedding yesterday. I feel so wronged as a groom. You all kept it a secret from me."
Chang Chunfeng smiled and said softly, "Everyone is worried about you. You, the groom, are the most blessed."
"Dad, I couldn't sleep last night. What did you do? My son is getting married and I can't go. I..."
"Ping An, don't worry about me. Our situation is rare indeed. But now that I think about it, God has always been good to me. What should I do if I lose my memory for a lifetime and can never find you?
Now I can see you every now and then, that's good enough, bring your wife over to offer tea to dad, be safe, I've made an appointment to meet your stepfather, he's very good. "
"My stepfather told me about this last night. He also said that you are a good person and that there is no right or wrong in our family affairs, and there is no need to cut off contact forever.
Dad, why did you give me so much money? You have spent all your savings, right? "
Chang Chunfeng smiled: "The income has been pretty good in the past few years. The medicinal herbs in the farm make a lot of money every year. I have also insisted on writing storybooks. Now, apart from household expenses, the rest is in my hands, which is convenient to use."
"Dad, live a good life with stepmother. There's no need to quarrel with you over my affairs. The better you live, the happier I will be.
Life is not easy, and there are many unexpected things that may happen at any time. For example, if your incident had not happened to our original family, our grandparents would still be alive and well, and our family would not have to be separated. We might even have several brothers and sisters. "
Chang Chunfeng suddenly burst into tears and covered his face with his hands and cried.
The happy family in his dream stabbed his heart like a knife.
"Dad, this is the last time we will talk about this. We won't talk about it again. I'm in a complicated mood today. Dad, don't cry anymore after today. I will honor you well. Every New Year, I will give you five hundred taels of silver, the same as my mother's. Okay?"
Chang Chunfeng nodded: "Okay."
He accepted what his son gave him, accepting this love that was as heavy as the one he gave to his mother.
The older he got, the more he couldn't help thinking about his home in Changjia Village, his smiling wife, his chubby child, his heart and eyes filled with his parents.
"Dad, I want to ask you something. Your friends need to be invited. I will write invitations to them today.
Or maybe we can open a few tables every other day and invite your people, what do you think?"
This situation is very common nowadays. Some people have to get it done once at their parents' home and at their husband's home, and then at their workplace.
“No, it’s better to have one wedding banquet. How about this, you can invite a few special guests and I will explain it to them privately, but forget about the others.
Also, there are occasional things between your stepmother and me, which is none of your business. Maybe it’s because we grew up in different environments. She is a high-ranking young lady, while I come from a mountain village. Our habits and hobbies are different.
Now Jin'er is being taught by your aunt Zhang. Yan'er goes to school during the day and I take care of him myself at night. Ping'an is fine. Jin'er is a little ignorant sometimes, please forgive her. She is still young, and she will be fine after Aunt Zhang teaches her for a few years.
You and your wife won't encounter these problems in the future. I heard that your wife is a good doctor. By the way, you must invite the Zhang family. They are all very good people."
"Today's invitations have been sent out. Why don't you go, Dad? Just don't sit in the hall. My mother must sit in the hall."
Chang Chunfeng's eyes became hot and he shook his head. He decided not to go. If he went and saw that person, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself.
He could go see Wan Changsheng, but he didn't dare to see her.
