Everyone in the yard was laughing, and Uncle Jin kept shouting congratulations.
Lin Jiayi, who had just finished his class upstairs, was on the terrace greeting them. Upon hearing Yu Wanqiao's words, he jumped for joy: "Yay! It's a little boy! I have a little brother! I have a little brother!"
Qi Zheng said happily, "I'll give red envelopes to all the servants of the Qi and Yu families later! Let's all share in the joy!"
For a moment, the whole world was immersed in great joy.
Only Yu Xunzhi slowly moved the flesh on his face after a long while, and smiled stiffly: "Very good, very good."
Qi Xixing came over at around four o'clock in the afternoon.
He also brought two bottles of specially supplied collector's edition Moutai liquor. After bringing them, he remembered that Yu Xunzhi was still recovering and could not drink, so he only opened one bottle and left the other bottle in Yu Garden, saying that he would wait until Yu Xunzhi recovered before drinking it.
Dinner was still very lively and lasted until eight o'clock.
The Qi family was really happy, especially Qi Zheng. When he thought about the fact that four generations of his family would soon live together, he happily started singing Huangmei Opera.
After the banquet ended, Yu Xunzhi suddenly said to Yu Wanqiao, "Wanqiao, come with me. I want to talk to you."
No one thought much about it.
It is natural for a father to give his daughter some private advice.
The Qi family sat in the living room with Jiayi and waited.
Uncle Jin pushed Yu Xunzhi into the study, and Yu Wanqiao followed him in and sat on the sofa.
Uncle Jin went out and closed the door.
Yu Xunzhi looked at Yu Wanqiao's belly and said, "Wanqiao, I'm very happy that your first child is a son. However, there are too many temptations and variables in today's society. One child is not enough to establish your position in the Qi family. You and Xiaoyao are still young and like each other. When your feelings are strong, they will of course give in to you in everything. But what about ten years from now? What about twenty years from now?"
Yu Wanqiao didn't like to hear this: "Dad, just tell me what you want to talk to me about. I have my own personal experience and judgment about my relationship with Qi Yao and how my in-laws treat me."
Yu Xunzhi sighed, "What I mean is that there must be a male heir in the family to inherit the family business, but the principle that a mother's status is determined by her sons is also eternal. After you give birth to this child, take a year off and have another child. You should give birth to more children while you are still young. Only in this way can your position in the Qi family be consolidated. If Xiaoyao changes his mind in the future, with so many children loyal to you, he will have to think twice before wanting a divorce!"
Yu Wanqiao shook her head: "Dad, life is only a few decades long, and youth is extremely precious. I can't spend my best years having children. I still have my own ideals and career. You don't know how happy I am today when I found out this baby is a son. Because after a few months, the baby will be born, and I can finish my confinement, and then I can start again and devote myself to my career. I don't plan to have a second child before I turn thirty, or even thirty-five. I want to give this child complete and wholehearted love, let him enjoy the life of an only child for at least ten years, and then I will consult with him before considering having a second child!"
Bang!
Yu Xunzhi angrily grabbed the purple clay teapot on the coffee table and smashed it to the ground!
Yu Wanqiao didn't understand why he was so angry.
Uncle Jin was so frightened that he quickly opened the door and rushed in: "Master! Miss! If you have something to say, please talk it over. Why are you arguing again?"
Yu Wanqiao stood up and said, "Dad, I'm going back to the Qi family first. I understand your concerns, but I will handle my marriage in my own way..."
"You know shit!"
Yu Xunzhi said angrily: "You! If you don't have a few children..."
Yu Wanqiao interrupted him: "My value does not lie in giving birth to children! My value lies in whether I have enough charm and attraction to make Qi Yao love me forever! So the first thing I have to do is to improve myself! Instead of becoming a parasite who depends on others and only knows how to be honored by having children! Dad, times have changed. When the country was founded, great men said that women can hold up half the sky. Now women are even more not to be underestimated by you men!"
"You...you...are you really going to watch Jiayi die?! You are Jiayi's aunt, your dear aunt! You can't just watch him die!"
Yu Xunzhi couldn't explain his opinion to his daughter no matter what he did.
In desperation, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
Yu Wanqiao and Uncle Jin were both shocked!
Uncle Jin noticed something was wrong and quickly closed the door, but he did not go out this time. Instead, he stood not far from Yu Wanqiao. In this way, if Yu Xunzhi got angry again, he could protect Yu Wanqiao!
Yu Wanqiao looked at Yu Xunzhi in shock and surprise: "Jiayi...what happened to him?"
After all, he is her nephew who grew up like her own brother. How could Yu Wanqiao not care about him?
Yu Xunzhi's face was filled with sadness. He turned around with the help of his wheelchair and moved closer to the desk.
He picked up a photo frame and looked at the family portrait on it: "Actually, you have an aunt, who is my biological sister, named Yu Manzhi."
Yu Wanqiao just felt confused.
Because she had lived in Yuyuan for twenty years and had never heard that her father had a younger sister.
Uncle Jin was stunned, because when he married into the Yu family with Yu Wanqiao's mother, he had never heard of such a person in the Yu family.
Yu Xunzhi took a deep breath, opened the desk drawer, took out an old photo album and handed it to Yu Wanqiao.
Yu Wanqiao took it with both hands and opened it——
The beautiful yard in the countryside is full of flowers and a swing. There are photos of the beautiful little girl from childhood to adulthood. Her appearance is changing and she is growing up little by little, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the environment she lives in, which has always been the same yard.
Yu Wanqiao's heart was pounding: "Is this... my aunt?"
Yu Xunzhi nodded and continued, "You don't know her because she has never had contact with outsiders. She has always been kept in seclusion as my life-saving medicine.
Since the ancestors of the Yu family, all male members have not lived beyond the age of 55. After turning 50, they will die of kidney failure in various ways.
In this case, the inheritance is passed down to males but not females.
It was not until my generation that medical technology developed and kidney transplant surgery became available. Doctors also said that the kidneys of close relatives are the best, so my parents gave birth to a younger sister for me and raised her secretly in a yard in the countryside.
When I was 52 years old and just started to show signs of illness, I had a kidney transplant.
I survived.
Manzhi lost her life because of this operation."
Yu Wanqiao's lips trembled as she stared at the vibrant life in the photo in disbelief. "You...how could you treat my aunt like this? This is too cruel!"
She quickly remembered something and covered her belly: "My son..."
Yu Xunzhi: "It's passed down to sons, not daughters. You don't have the gene for this disease, so your son will be fine."
Yu Wanqiao breathed a sigh of relief!
But Yu Xunzhi quickly changed the subject: "I originally thought that with the advancement of medical technology, losing a kidney wouldn't be as fatal as it was decades ago, so I wanted you to donate a kidney to Runze. But Runze was foolish. He impulsively broke the law for a piece of slut, leaving me to lose my son! Now, Runze doesn't need your kidney anymore, but Jiayi is still young!"
