Chapter 63 Inherit Your Pots and Pans?
In this conservative era, the fact that Sang Lao Er was infertile was brought up in public.
That was a tremendous humiliation.
This is no different from pointing your finger at him and calling him a eunuch.
But the little cub not only spoke, it spoke very loudly.
There wasn't a single swear word, but the insults were exceptionally harsh.
"Shut up! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Sang Lao Er broke down, roaring, "I'm perfectly fine! It's that woman who was promiscuous and got pregnant with someone else's bastard! I...I! I'm your father, how dare you talk to me like that!"
Zhizhi's face looked completely innocent, but she was secretly delighted.
"Really? Really? Who was cheated on and swindled out of all their food coupons and savings? Oh wait! Your family is so poor you can't even afford to cook, where would you get any savings? It seems like they sold your last remaining winter food to scrape together a few cents, right?"
Jiang Anchao was initially angry, but after hearing his daughter's witty retorts, he completely lost his temper.
As expected of Zhizhi, her little mouth is so eloquent, it goes straight to the heart and lungs.
He snorted coldly, "Sang Lao Er, my daughter's name is now Jiang Zhixian. She is my biological daughter, the one who is undeniably registered in Jiang Anchao's household register. If you don't leave, I won't let her go and live that miserable life with you. If you continue to act like a scoundrel, be careful I'll send you to jail!"
"Deng Qiu... ...you, you actually dare to make my daughter take another man's surname?"
Sang Lao Er couldn't believe it. His hands trembled violently, and his heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.
She was diagnosed with infertility and will likely only have one daughter, Sang Zhizhi.
He was hoping that by using his daughter's status as a maternal grandfather, he could pay for his medical treatment and have a son.
That despicable woman, Deng Qiu, how dare she let her daughter change her surname?!
If she changes her surname, is she still my daughter?!
Deng Qiu scoffed, "Zhizhi asked to change it herself. Any surname is better than Sang!"
"Bullshit! She's the heir of my Sang family!"
Sang Lao Er was agitated, wishing he could grab the woman and strangle her. "The ancestral line cannot be broken! What will I do if she changes her surname? Who will carry on our family line?!"
When Xiao Zhizhi heard his words, she laughed so hard she could barely stand up straight.
What is being inherited?
Should we inherit his poverty, and his meager pots and pans?
Anyone who didn't know better would think his family owned a throne.
How come the bad dad hasn't improved at all after all this time?
As the handsome guy once said, mothers have the ability to reproduce, so cherishing children is an instinct.
Since the father cannot have children, the only way to deceive himself is by having the child take his surname, as if the child was born to him.
The little cub blinked earnestly, "That's fine for fooling outsiders, but don't actually fool yourself. If you can't have children, your family line will have ended long ago~"
You can't have children...
You can't have children, you can't have children.
The few words kept swirling in Sang Lao Er's ears, almost like a loud slap across his face.
Sang Lao Er's face instantly darkened, as if he wanted to strangle her with his eyes.
"No matter what you say, legally I am your biological father. They are a stepfather and a stepmother, and they have no blood relation to you. You must come with me!"
As he spoke, he rushed forward to pull the child away without regard for his own safety.
Zhizhi nimbly dodged and hid behind Jiang Anchao.
The next second, Jiang Anchao grabbed him by the collar and threw him out like a chicken.
He punched Sang Lao Er in the face, and immediately saw his eye socket swell up.
"Get lost! Who do you think you are, trying to lay a hand on me under my nose!"
Sang Lao Er was beaten until he saw stars. Just as he was about to struggle, the guards patrolling the military dependents' compound arrived.
"Commander Jiang, what happened?"
Jiang An raised his chin and said, "This person is harassing my wife and daughter. Please tell the gatekeeper in the future that he should not be allowed to come in."
"What?! Such a thing exists!"
The guards immediately stepped forward and subdued Sang Lao Er with a single takedown.
"Don't worry, I'll throw him out right now!"
"Don't touch me! Don't pull me!"
Sang Lao Er tried to struggle, but was elbowed by the guard again. He could only be led out with resentment in his eyes.
Little Zhizhi frowned. "Daddy, will he give up?"
Jiang Anchao picked her up and watched coldly as Sang Lao Er was taken away. "I won't give him the chance to take you away."
"So, what does Dad think? Did Grandpa's family snitch on us?"
Zhizhi put her hands in her pockets, looking a little troubled. "How could it be such a coincidence that Grandpa sent a letter to remind us, and then that nasty dad followed the scent and came looking for us?"
Jiang Anchao glanced at his wife discreetly, hesitating as to how to answer.
Yes, what a coincidence!
Yes, how could any parents in the world truly not love their daughter?
For profit, or even for no profit at all, simply because their daughter didn't go back and was being exploited, they pushed their daughter back into the fire pit.
“I gave up on them a long time ago. If it really is them, I will definitely not let it go.”
Deng Qiu wiped away her tears, swallowing the bitterness in her heart. "Let's go back, it's time to cook."
... ...
Aunt Cuiping was staying at the Jiang family's house and had prepared hand-pulled noodles in advance.
The three little ones sat in a row, very politely holding their small bowls and quietly waiting for their aunt to serve them rice.
"So... what was the final outcome? Did Wang Qingshan agree to the divorce?"
Deng Qiu was the first to ask the question.
Jiang Anchao nodded, "Yes, this matter was originally going to take a while longer, but unexpectedly, Commander Tian suddenly stepped in and directly protected us. He gave Wang Qingshan an ultimatum: the house would be divided in two, and the housing management bureau would build a partition wall. The two would get divorced, and although they would still live under the same roof, they would not interfere with each other's future marriages."
He didn't expect things to be resolved so quickly.
Commander Tian is very busy every day, and I don't know why, but he suddenly started to meddle in these family matters.
Not only did he inquire about it, but he also changed his old-fashioned ways and spoke very favorably of Cuiping.
It was only later, when he went out to pick up Zhizhi, that he vaguely guessed what had happened.
After all, it was common for the commander to come down for inspections, but it was rare for him to specially bring his 'family members' to the canteen for meals.
Cuiping raised her head with a beaming smile, "It's all thanks to Zhizhi. I've discovered that Zhizhi is a real lucky charm. All my problems are easily solved when I encounter her."
Little Zhizhi looked up in confusion, "Huh?"
What did she do?
The cat shook its head; the cat denied it.
She didn't cause any trouble!
"Would Wang Qingshan agree so easily?"
Deng Qiu couldn't bear to think that a petty man like Wang Qingshan would be willing to suffer a loss.
“He initially disagreed, but Commander Tian made it clear to him that if he really didn’t want to let go, then he could wait for the Women’s Federation to come looking for him and accuse him of domestic violence. At that point, he would have no choice but to leave.”
Jiang Anchao shrugged helplessly, then a smile appeared on his lips. "A family man like me wouldn't have this kind of trouble. What's that saying again? A man who loves his wife will thrive."
Deng Qiu rolled her eyes at him. "Eat your food."
She has now discovered that Jiang Anchao actually has a boastful side.
"—Commander Jiang, the phone is ringing!"
Grandma Li is calling from outside.
Jiang Anchao wiped his mouth and hurriedly walked outside, "Coming!"
He rushed out the door, and Zhizhi, curious, quietly followed him outside.
Arriving at the phone booth at the alley entrance, the little one secretly tilted his head to eavesdrop.
"Yes, I am Jiang Anchao."
"...That person was just causing trouble. I didn't kidnap anyone's child. What? Reported? He was just kicked out, how could he be reported to the military region?"
