Chapter 455 Aren't you considering living together?
"Qi Yanjiao's mother is from the city. In my parents' generation, the words 'city person' were like gold, representing culture, elegance, and wealth. So, for Uncle Qi to marry a city person, especially one who was a college graduate, was a very prestigious thing in our area."
Ye Wanxi nodded and agreed, "I can tell."
From what Qi Xiaolian said about her uncle's family, it's clear that they are always talked about as being rich, having gone to university, and having married a city girl.
"It was only after Qi Yanjiao's family had this incident that Xiaolian's parents found out that Qi Yanjiao's parents had already divorced."
According to Qi Xiaolian's mother, "No wonder that every year when we go home to visit relatives during the Spring Festival, it's only my uncle and his child. His wife never comes back with us. Every time we ask, they just say that his wife has something to do and can't come back. Everyone thought that his wife looked down on us peasants and couldn't get used to our life, so she didn't even want to come over for the holidays. It turns out that they divorced a long time ago."
Gao Min sighed deeply and continued to share the juicy gossip she had unexpectedly learned with Ye Wanxi: "But that's not the point. The point is the reason for their divorce."
What's the reason?
"Because Qi Yanjiao's father is ill and cannot have a son."
Upon hearing this, a big question mark suddenly appeared above Ye Wanxi's head.
"You're confused, aren't you? I don't know exactly what the disease is, I only know that it's a genetic disease that is passed down only to sons and not daughters. The cause is in the male, so they can't have sons, otherwise there's a high chance they'll get the disease."
Ye Wanxi's expression was subtle. She had heard of hereditary diseases that were passed down from father to son, but most carriers were women. It was rare to see someone like Uncle Qi. It was probably a genetic disease with a certain family history.
Do Xiaolian's parents have this disease?
"No. Although Xiaolian calls Qi Yanjiao's father 'uncle,' her father and Qi Yanjiao's father are half-brothers. However, Qi Yanjiao's grandmother doesn't like Xiaolian's father because she had a difficult childbirth and almost lost her life. Therefore, she favors her eldest son but doesn't care much about Xiaolian's father."
"After Qi Yanjiao's grandfather passed away, Qi's grandmother moved in with Qi's uncle's family. This old lady was no pushover either; after moving in, she was determined to have Qi's uncle and his wife have another son."
Gao Min overheard this when Gao's mother was gossiping with Qi's mother.
"In order to have a grandson, Grandma Qi Yanjiao reportedly did a lot of strange things back then, and even made a fuss about the two getting a divorce, complaining that the woman couldn't give birth to a son. Unexpectedly, in the end, the problem was with her own son, and had nothing to do with the woman at all."
Looking at Gao Min's gloating expression, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but laugh: "The sex of a child is only related to sperm. Even if he doesn't have any hereditary diseases, you can't blame the woman for this."
"Who says otherwise? The X and Y chromosomes are obvious. But the old lady doesn't care about all that. And it's not just her. Nowadays, some mothers-in-law who only want a boy don't care about genetics. They think their own son is the best, and if a woman can't have a son, it must be her fault."
Ye Wanxi sighed: "Just the fact that Qi Yanjiao's father lied about his wife not being able to come back with him even though they were already divorced shows that he is a very proud person. His mother dares to make such a fuss probably because she doesn't know about his health condition, right?"
Gao Min frowned and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's possible. But if that were the case, the woman would be miserable. No wonder she ended up getting a divorce. With a mother-in-law like that and a husband like that, she could have been driven crazy by the anger even if she hadn't gotten a divorce."
How did you know they were divorced?
"What Xiaolian's mother said was that when the higher-ups delivered the compensation money to them, Xiaolian's parents asked a few more questions about Qi Yanjiao's family situation, and the other party didn't think much of it and just asked a few questions. I heard that she has now remarried and had a son, and her husband and in-laws are very kind people. She is much happier than when she married Uncle Qi."
Gao Min couldn't help but sigh, "However, in that case, Uncle Qi's doting on Qi Yanjiao makes sense. Due to his own reasons, even if he married a hundred more wives, he wouldn't be able to have a healthy son, so he might as well hold onto his only daughter. It's just that he didn't expect that his excessive pampering would lead to his daughter being physically healthy but mentally rotten, and there would be no saving her. In the end, it was all for naught."
Ye Wanxi neither confirmed nor denied this. No matter how much she valued her daughter, it was not a reason for him to condone his child harming others.
However, now that Qi Yanjiao and her father have received their due punishment, it's time to send those wronged souls to be reincarnated.
As the two were talking, Ye Wanxi's phone suddenly rang.
Ye Wanxi's eyes lit up as soon as she saw the caller ID.
"Yi Huan?"
"It's me, it's me! Sister-in-law, are you free right now? Would you like to come out for afternoon tea?"
"You're back home?"
"Yeah, you just got back this morning? Want to go out?
Ye Wanxi was indeed free at the moment, and after hearing that Du Yihuan had almost been kidnapped abroad and was rescued by Han Yue, she had been quite curious about the development of their relationship, so she readily agreed.
The place where Du Yihuan invited Ye Wanxi to afternoon tea was not far from where Ye Wanxi currently lived; it was about a 20-minute drive away.
When she arrived, Ye Wanxi discovered that Du Yihuan wasn't the only one there; two of her friends were also with her.
Wen Caiyi and Zhang Xiaoxiao stood up immediately upon seeing Ye Wanxi, their faces filled with a mixture of joy and unease.
Upon seeing this, Du Yihuan greeted Ye Wanxi, saying, "Sister-in-law, you're here. Come on in, we were just about to order something. See if there's anything you'd like to eat or drink, and we'll order together."
Her words instantly enlivened the atmosphere among them.
"Miss Ye..."
"Okay, please sit down." Ye Wanxi nodded politely to the two of them and said casually, "Just bring me a glass of orange juice and a small cake."
Seeing that she wasn't angry about their "uninvited arrival," the two were relieved and sat down with Ye Wanxi.
After quickly replenishing the menu with orange juice and small cakes, Du Yihuan took the initiative to ask about Ye Wanxi's recent situation: "Sister-in-law, how have you been lately? I heard from my brother that you had some trouble not long ago, and you had to renovate your house and move to a new place now?"
"Yes. I live in Ya Yuan now. If you need anything in the future, you can come here to find me."
"Ya Yuan?" Du Yihuan thought for a moment and muttered softly, "It's not far away. But, since your house needs to be renovated, why don't you just move in with my brother? All the things in the house are ready, and you can take care of each other."
"puff……"
