Wang's words were like a thunderclap, leaving everyone present stunned and speechless, even the couple from the third and second wives were filled with disbelief.
Yu Chengyuan didn't seem too surprised. The question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time finally had an answer today.
He wasn't too worried about the others, but he was concerned that his father might not be able to handle such a blow.
The father had always wanted to gain Wang's favor and recognition, and now that he suddenly knew the truth, it was impossible for him not to feel sad.
He hurriedly turned to look at his father, only to see his father staggering as if all his strength had been drained, slowly walking towards Wang Shi.
The father's eyes were filled with tears, and his face was as pale as paper; his appearance was heartbreaking to see.
The villagers were in an uproar, discussing the matter amongst themselves.
"Is what Old Lady Wang said true?" someone asked, full of suspicion.
"I think it's true. Otherwise, why would she have been so biased all these years?"
Another person echoed this statement with unwavering conviction.
"That's right... if Yu Dazhu is her biological son, how could Old Lady Wang treat him and the people of the first branch of the family like this?"
"No wonder no matter how well Dazhu has done all these years, he has never won Wang's favor."
So he wasn't her biological son after all!
Some people shook their heads repeatedly and sighed.
"That's right, now everything makes sense."
So Dazhu isn't Old Lady Wang's biological son after all!
"That old lady Wang is going too far!"
Even if he's not her biological son, she's been filial to him for so many years; she shouldn't treat him like this!
An old man said indignantly.
"Exactly, even raising a dog will create feelings."
Unlike that skinflint Wang, who practically ruthlessly exploited the entire eldest son's family, leaving them nothing but bones.
"After Lao Yu died, Da Zhu lived worse than a dog. He worked from dawn till dusk every day, doing endless tasks. He couldn't eat well, couldn't dress well, and had to endure being scolded and bullied."
This is truly a tragedy!
As one of the women spoke, her eyes reddened.
"It's not just Dazhu, Dazhu and his whole family haven't had a good life either!"
Everyone has seen how Wang has wasted the time and energy of Dazhu's wife, Cuiping, over the years.
"And what's more, haven't the Ping An brothers also suffered a lot of bullying? The eldest brother, Ping An, still hasn't gotten married!"
"That's not all. Ping An was forced by the Wang family to work in the coal mine. Everyone knows that's a place where people can die at any time."
I think this Wang woman didn't even consider whether the other person was in danger; all she cared about was money.
"The Wang family is absolutely despicable!"
No wonder Cheng Yuan's wife had a difficult childbirth, and she refused to spend money to help her.
Thankfully, Cheng Yuan was tough enough to save both him and his unborn child.
"Oh dear, that old woman is too wicked and vicious. We should stay away from her in the future."
The crowd chimed in, their words filled with sympathy for Dazhu's family and condemnation of Wang Shi.
"Everyone, please calm down and don't get too excited. We still need to figure this out."
Zhou Jianguo immediately shouted to stop the discussion.
He also felt sorry for Yu Dazhu and was worried that he wouldn't be able to withstand such a huge blow.
Although he said that, he knew in his heart that it was true.
"Brother Dazhu..."
Are you alright?
Zhou Jianguo looked at Yu Dazhu, who had remained silent.
"father………"
The Yu brothers shouted at the same time.
Yu Dazhu ignored them and stared intently at Wang Shi, choking back tears as he asked, "Mother, is what you just said true? Am I really not your child?"
Wang felt a little flustered under Yu Dazhu's gaze, her eyes darting around, but she still said defiantly, "So what if it is? I've raised you for so many years, I've done my duty!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Dazhu swayed and almost fell to the ground.
Yu Chengyuan rushed forward to support his father, glaring at Wang Shi and saying, "How could you say such a thing?"
Don't you know how much my father has sacrificed for this family?
Since you adopted my father, you should have treated him well. Why did you mistreat him like this?
Are you even human?
"snort!
Do you think I want to adopt your dad?
If it weren't for your grandfather insisting on adopting your father, I wouldn't have caused myself any trouble!
"And if I hadn't been pregnant before, I wouldn't have been able to adopt him. Do you think my food fell from the sky?"
Wang felt no guilt whatsoever; on the contrary, she spoke with righteous indignation.
At this moment, Yu Laosan from the third branch stepped forward and said hypocritically, "Brother, don't be too sad. No matter what, we are still family."
After all, you grew up with us, and you're our older brother.
"Mother's gone mad with anger, don't take it seriously."
Yu Chengyuan sneered, "Family? Is this how you treat your family?"
Li Hehua said sarcastically from the side, "Hmph, it's your own fault for being incompetent. You deserve to be bullied."
If you two brothers were capable, like our Erbao who could study well, wouldn't your mother treat you well?
"Li Hehua, shut your stinking mouth, or I'll slap you!"
Yu Chengyuan clenched his fists in anger, wanting to rush forward to argue, but Yu Dazhu stopped him: "Forget it, Chengyuan, don't bother with them."
Yu Dazhu took a deep breath and slowly said, "Now that we've laid everything out on the table, let's go our separate ways from now on."
Even if Yu Dazhu isn't my biological son, I have a clear conscience.
You should all leave!
