Chapter 30: Breakup The Yao family gave up their daughter, and the in-laws also wanted...
Yao defends the country.
Yao Jingye was still kneeling and slept on the floor at night. When he saw Xie Chunxing the next day, he continued to coax her into forgiveness.
Xie Chunxing tried to let him get up several times, but was stopped by Yao Weiguo.
His mother is so soft-hearted, it's really a headache.
He had just finished breakfast and stood next to Xie Chunxing, looking at Yao Jingye coldly. "I'm going to ask you a few questions. You have to tell me the truth. I'll write them down and send them to my dad. If he and my mom are willing to give you a chance, we, the younger generation, won't stop you. After all, we're still counting on you to testify in court. If either of my parents isn't willing to forgive you, don't blame your nephew for being ruthless."
Yao Jingye looked at him wearily and nodded: "Go ahead."
"Is there anyone in Yaowang Manor who would plot against my little sister?"
"My hometown has a strong sense of clan identity. As the clan leader, my words carry weight. I told my family before I came here that they would definitely not do anything rash."
"You promise?"
"I promise, the militia captain is my brother, and I've told him everything. Weiguo, I'm only after money, not life. After all, your father and I are descendants of the same grandmother, so I have to maintain my boundaries."
"Who was the mastermind behind the child swap, and who helped?"
"Yao Erdan and Wang Fang were the masterminds, and the doctors at the clinic helped. Oh, and that person is Wang Aiming's sister-in-law, she's still around."
"What's your name?"
"Liu Xiaoni."
"If she knew what had happened, would she attack my sister?"
"No, she doesn't have the guts. She's just like me, only interested in money. She'll help anyone who pays her. Last time, your sister had the older sisters over there pretend to drink pesticides to force Yao Erdan to agree and not let the older sisters marry old men. She bribed that doctor."
"My sister has a good relationship with those sisters?"
"At least that's what it looks like. She fought with Yao Erdan and Wang Fang for those sisters."
"She has a bad temper?"
"How should I put it? Before May got a fever, she was quite patient. But after she woke up from the fever, she became a completely different person. If anyone upset her, she would either hit them or start yelling at them. She's quite irritable."
"What's with the fever?"
"A scoundrel tried to molest her on the road, so she jumped into the river and hid in the reeds. She got scratched and covered in leeches, which caused an infection."
When Yao Weiguo heard this, he was so angry that he wanted to beat Yao Jingye to death with his crutch.
Cui Wen grabbed her and said, "Uncle, you're so cruel! She's been bullied like this, and you've never thought of contacting us? Are you still hoping for a lucky break? Tell me, how much good has Yao Jingjing done for you?"
"Not a lot."
"Speak!" Yao Weiguo raised his crutch and wanted to hit him.
Yao Jingye could only sigh: "Just, occasionally send some money and tickets. I don't know where she gets it from. But Yao Erdan and the others don't know about this. I contacted her secretly."
"You are so shameless!" Yao Miaomiao had been enduring for a long time. Holding her sister's photo in her hand, she wanted to hit someone, but Cui Wen stopped her. She was so angry that she was burning with anger.
Yao Jingye didn't argue, but just sighed: "Yes, I am a beast, I hope I can make up for it now."
Yao Weiguo turned around, pushed Cui Wen back to Yao Miaomiao, and stopped his sister.
He continued to ask——
"When did Yao Jingjing find out?"
"Very early. I can't say exactly when. It might be Yao Erdan and the others who contacted her."
"Did you do anything about switching my sister?"
"No, no, I only found out after they succeeded. At that time, your mother moved out and gave birth, so I had to go and see her. I happened to see them. Your mother was so exhausted that she fainted and had no idea the baby had been swapped."
"Why didn't you stop it?"
"You asked your mother to borrow money but she didn't, so you got angry."
"Later, my dad went back to pick them up. Why didn't you tell me?"
"It's probably just... jealousy. This is all passed down from the same grandparents. Seeing your father so successful, returning from a victorious battle without sharing any of the spoils with the brothers, I feel unbalanced."
"You dare to tell the truth."
"Weiguo, I really am. I am obsessed with my own thoughts. I have let your father down. I won't make any excuses now, really."
"Where was my grandma?"
"Your grandmother is old. Your mother gave birth to her for a whole day and night. She couldn't endure it and slept for a while."
"You guys are such beasts. Who is closer to you, Yao Erdan or my dad?"
"Yes, I am a beast, I am not a thing."
"Provide a few more witnesses. Either don't expose this matter, or if you do, you'll have to nail it down once and for all."
"Go find Wang Aiming. He's a very greedy person and he's also an insider. He's actually your mother's distant cousin."
"I just received news that he was sneaking around and trying to attack my sister, but he was caught by the veterans arranged by my father. They also collected evidence against him and sent him to jail. Let's find someone else."
"So, wait, how many people are needed?"
"Three, maybe."
"How about me, Yao Genbao, and Liu Xiaoni? Let her make amends."
"What's your relationship with her? Why do you keep speaking for her?"
Yao Jingye didn't say anything, but Yao Weiguo understood: "Switch someone else. This woman must go in."
"Can someone who's mentally ill do that?"
"no."
"Then...then it's Wang Aiming. He can confess and seek leniency."
"Alright. Go on. I want to know how many times have Yao Erdan's family harmed my sister?"
"That's too many to count. They beat and scolded me quite a few times. My house is a little far from theirs, and every time I heard the noise and rushed over, the beating was already over. As for selling, I've done it a few times. Once it was to that agricultural expert, and many times before that. Sometimes they wanted to sell the baby when the couple in the next village couldn't have children, or when they met people who wanted to buy a girl for a wedding. I've stopped them at least seven or eight times. Seriously, Weiguo, you have to believe me, I'm not that heartless. I'm just after the money, I don't kill people. Really."
"That's enough." Yao Weiguo wrote down all the testimony and continued to ask, "My sister... has she ever doubted her own background?"
"Let me be frank. Yao Erdan sold two of his own daughters before. Of the five of them, who wouldn't wish they weren't his biological children? So, even if they really thought that, I can only regard it as a complaint. I'm not sure if they ever doubted it."
"Were the four sisters kind to her?"
"The eldest is kind to everyone and willing to take on responsibilities, but she listens to Yao Erdan and the others the most and is the more obedient. The second is more rebellious and gets along well with your sister. I heard they met your brother-in-law when they went shopping in the city together. I can't say much about the third. You can't get anything out of him with a stick, and I don't know him well. The fourth is dumber, but he listens to your sister. Your sister found a good future for the fourth, taking over Yao Genbao's job at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and marrying him into the family."
"In other words, the only one she has a good relationship with is Yao Taotao, the second child?"
"That's about right. Yao Taotao and Yao Mengmeng were the ones who went to the wedding."
"Okay, you continue to kneel, I'll go find my dad." Yao Weiguo called Cui Wen and went out.
As soon as the door closed, Yao Miaomiao rushed up and kicked Yao Jingye twice.
He didn't dare to grumble, and even threw himself on the ground, praising her: "You really look like your father."
Yao Miaomiao was so angry that she wanted to fight, but Xie Chunxing stopped her: "Miaomiao, don't do that. They can be beasts, but you can't learn from them."
Yao Miaomiao was so angry that she sat down and muttered, "I was wondering, the last time I came back to see Big Brother, you guys seemed to be hiding some secret, hesitating and hesitating. So something so big happened, and you just hid it from me?"
"Isn't it because you're getting a divorce? I'm afraid you'll get even more angry and lose your temper, and cause some trouble." Xie Chunxing sighed, "Miaomiao, how are things going over there?"
"I listened to my eldest brother and broke off relations with him. I threatened to report him for bribery, but he was afraid I would be doomed, so he gave up custody." Yao Miaomiao sneered, "He's a coward, he dares to do things but not take responsibility. I was blind to be with him."
"It's all in the past. When will we get the divorce certificate?" Xie Chunxing breathed a sigh of relief. At worst, she could let her second son come back to her parents' home. She would be lonely at home alone.
Yao Miaomiao stood up and took out the canvas bag from the room. "Here, we're divorced, and there's a divorce agreement. The two children are mine, and he'll provide child support until they reach adulthood."
"Did you really report him?" Xie Chunxing was a little surprised. She didn't expect that they would get divorced so soon.
Yao Miaomiao was helpless: "What's the point of reporting it? His parents found someone to smooth things over, and nothing happened. If I were to ask him, if his parents keep protecting him like this, he'd be shot sooner or later."
"Don't be like this. He is the father of your child after all. Just think about some things in your heart." Xie Chunxing advised. Divorce is better than being widowed, and she doesn't want her son-in-law to really go that far.
Although he is my ex-son-in-law, alas.
Yao Miaomiao didn't want to argue with her mother, so she muttered a few words in her heart and then stopped talking.
Yao Jingye watched silently, thinking that although his niece had a bad temper, she was still very filial and would listen to what her mother said.
That's good. If I try to persuade Xie Chunxing, I think the matchmaking will be a good idea. But now is not the right time. I have to wait until Jingzong is willing to forgive him.
Soon, Yao Weiguo came back.
"Get up." He brought back the letter from his father.
Yao Jingye's knees were numb and he fell to the ground because of the suddenness of his movements. Everyone just watched him and no one helped him up. He could only get up by himself, groaning.
After sitting down, he read the letter and felt really embarrassed.
Xie Chunxing was curious: "What did Jingzong say?"
"He told me to go back and kneel in front of the old man and repent for 18 years before he would forgive me." Yao Jingye breathed a sigh of relief. The old man would not live that long.
You can only kneel for two or three years at most.
Xie Chunxing didn't say anything. She was still counting on this person to testify in court. Some things just had to be left alone.
Yao Jingye put the letter away and asked, "When will my daughter's case go to court? Can I come back then? I have something else to do at home."
Cui Wen had inquired about this matter and replied, "I'm not sure. We have to wait in line. It will take at least two or three months before we can get any news."
"Do I need to go back and tell Zhizhi about this?" Yao Jingye didn't dare to make a decision on his own and still had to ask clearly.
Yao Weiguo had considered this issue and advised, "My sister is impulsive and impatient. Now that she's pregnant, she can't move the baby. Wait until everything is settled before telling her. Then our whole family will go see her together. Go back and do what you need to do, and don't get involved."
"Okay, then I'll go back and find Wang Aiming and ask him to cooperate with you." Yao Jingye was about to leave when he looked at Xie Chunxing with a thick face. "Xing'er, I don't have enough money for the trip. Can you lend me some?"
See, it turns out that a dog will always eat shit.
Xie Chunxing still expected him to testify, so she nodded and asked her eldest daughter-in-law to give him some money.
Yao Jingye counted them, felt overjoyed, and left happily.
As for his wife's nephew, there is no rush. Yao Miaomiao just got divorced, so he can wait a month or two.
Otherwise it would seem that he is ungrateful.
When the door was closed, the whole family felt only sadness.
In the eyes of some people, blood is thicker than water is just a joke. Money is their blood, flesh, and bones, and it is all their faith and support.
Yao Miaomiao glared angrily: "Wait until the case is decided and my sister's identity is changed. I will never associate with such people again."
"Yeah." Yao Weiguo naturally thought so too. This little money could be regarded as feeding the dog. At least it could help them bite people for now.
Their father has a special status, so they dare not do anything to cause trouble for him. It's pretty good now.
Yao Miaomiao was curious: "What will the Duan family do? Why is there no movement at all?"
"Don't worry about them. Yao Jingjing didn't tell her family when she got married to him and got the marriage certificate. It's their own fault." Yao Weiguo now felt nothing but disgust and hatred towards Yao Jingjing, so naturally he didn't care how the Duan family dealt with her.
It’s best not to care, not to interfere, and not even to have children.
However, considering Duan Cheng's pug-like attitude, it's hard to say.
*
Duan family.
Political Commissar Duan, like Yao Jingzong, was fighting on the front line with the soldiers, but he was in another air-raid shelter and not with Yao Jingzong.
After receiving the news, he wrote two letters back.
Mei Hong read out tremblingly: "Ah Cheng, you got married too hastily. According to reliable information, Yao Jingjing is a fake, not a biological child of the Yao family. If that were all, it would be fine. Your father is not a person who despises the poor and loves the rich. But Ah Cheng, she killed someone! The person she killed was her biological parents' younger brother. Maybe you think that she has never lived with him and has no feelings for him, and even if she did it, she had no choice. But Ah Cheng, you have to think about this. Even if a stranger had an argument with her, did she deserve to be pushed off the cliff? A woman like her is too cruel. I don't recognize her as my daughter-in-law. Divorce her quickly and let her beat the child! Our Duan family can't have a murderer as a daughter-in-law, and we can't let my grandchildren have a murderer's mother! Ah Cheng, Dad has been so angry that he vomited blood these days. You must not insist on having your own way."
The other letter was addressed to Mei Hong herself: "Ah Hong, I'm not home, and you let Ah Cheng do whatever he wants, right? You just got the marriage certificate, and you're treating Ah Cheng's life like a joke! I'm very angry. I hope you can quickly urge him to divorce, and make sure to abort the child. You can't keep the child! If he doesn't listen, I'll sever all ties with him!"
These words were so serious that Meihong was shocked.
Yao Jingjing is a fake? What does that mean? Has the Yao family been tricked too?
No, she had to go and ask quickly, and immediately called Duan Cheng to go to Yao Weiguo's house to find someone.
Duan Cheng didn't say anything, but walked into the bedroom stubbornly and started packing his things.
Mei Hong was confused: "Acheng, what are you going to do?"
"Didn't my dad want to sever the father-son relationship? I'm leaving." Duan Cheng is a teacher and can live in the staff dormitory. He is not a child who is still breastfeeding. He can decide whether to divorce or not.
Mei Hong was terrified and quickly stopped him: "Son! You're kidding! You're breaking off relations with your father before the whole thing is clear? Aren't you afraid of making your father mad and making him sick?"
Duan Cheng's eyes were bloodshot with rage: "Mom! There must be something fishy going on here! I think Qin Yicheng is just mad at Jingjing for dumping him, so he deliberately found someone to frame her! I don't believe Jingjing is that kind of person!"
Meihong couldn't believe it either, but Lao Duan had written a letter, in black and white.
She would not doubt her man, it was her son who was deceived, her poor son.
She quickly put down the canvas bag in Duan Cheng's hand and said, "Be obedient and go to Yao's house to sort things out first."
Duan Cheng was reluctantly dragged to Yao Wei's home by his mother.
The family was having dinner, Yao Miaomiao and her two children were there.
When she divorced, she changed her children's surnames. Her eldest son, who was four years old, was named Yao Chaoying, and her second daughter, who was two years old, was named Yao Chaomei.
The two children sat with Yao Dan and Yao Zhou, eating voraciously.
Poor child, his parents are getting divorced recently and he has been suffering with his grandparents.
Yao Miaomiao sighed, glanced at Mei Hong and Duan Cheng, and said nothing.
Yao Weiguo knew what Mei Hong wanted to ask, so he handed her a photo of Yao Zhizhi. "This is my biological sister. I just found her. The one in your family is a fake. I don't need to say anything else. You all know it."
Meihong took the photo and swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
This... She looked at Xie Chunxing, then at Yao Miaomiao, and could only remain silent in the face of irrefutable facts.
Duan Cheng didn't believe it, so he snatched the photo and was stunned when he took a look at it.
The girl in the photo is so beautiful. The sun is shining brightly above her head, and the lush leaves are stacked layer upon layer, filtering out fine, mottled light and shadows that fall on her young face, making her look fresh and lively.
Looking at Yao Miaomiao who was eating, all words became pale and powerless.
He had no choice but to return the photo to the owner. After a long silence, he had only one question: "Does your whole family disown Jingjing?"
"What else?" Yao Miaomiao looked at him like an idiot. "You're not going to make a fuss over her and force your parents to save her, are you? Wake up! Is your brain stuck in the door? We grew up with her, don't we have feelings for her more than you do?"
Duan Cheng still doesn't want to give up. No matter how bad Jingjing is, she is still his woman. He chose her himself. If he despises him just because she lost her identity as "Chief Yao's daughter", what kind of man is he?
As for murder? He didn't believe it, it must have been Qin Yicheng's doing!
He raised his head firmly: "That's different. She is pregnant with my child. I have to be responsible for her."
Yao Miaomiao chuckled. "It's up to you. You didn't even tell the Yao family about getting the marriage certificate. Just make your own decisions. Just don't come crying to us in the future."
Duan Cheng stood up and said disdainfully, "Jingjing is such a good person. Giving her up would be a loss for you. Please also tell Qin Yicheng that no matter what tricks he plays, I will not give up my woman. I, Duan Cheng, will not be led around by the nose by you."
After saying that, he walked away.
Yao Miaomiao curled her lips: "Tsk, what a stupid person who only studies."
Meihong was very unhappy when she heard her scolding her son. She had hoped that Xie Chunxing could control her, but Xie Chunxing just lowered her head to eat. Meihong was so angry that she suddenly stood up, held her head high and walked away arrogantly.
"Both of their brains were stuck in the door." Yao Miaomiao commented objectively.
Yao Weiguo just felt disgusted: "I'll avoid Duan Cheng next time I see him. He's a brainless idiot."
"Go lie down after you finish eating. I'm tired just looking at you running around and jumping around these days." Cui Wen finished eating and hurried to help the man.
Yao Weiguo hopped back to his bedroom like a big rabbit. He was a little worried and asked, "What did your aunt who works at the court say?"
"In the murder case, Ge Rui said that he wanted to kill, but the police collected a woman's footprints on the cliff, which matched Yao Jingjing's. Even if Yao Jingjing didn't do it, she is at least an accomplice or instigator. It depends on whether Ge Rui will change his confession. As for the case of exchanging daughters, it can only be attributed to the trafficking case, and Yao Jingjing can be regarded as an insider and accomplice. The sentence for the two cases combined may be only three to five years, not too much." Cui Wen was also helpless. After all, Ge Rui, like Duan Cheng, was Yao Jingjing's lapdog.
The police arrested him that afternoon, and he still insists that he pushed the car himself and is willing to take full responsibility.
It's really infuriating.
Yao Weiguo understood what was going on and instructed, "Well, I'll find someone to investigate Ge Rui's social connections and see if he has any weaknesses. As for the daughter-swap case, the police shouldn't make it public for now. We're not sure if Yao Jingye will change his mind yet, so let's see how he behaves when he returns. Also... I suspect Yao Jingjing might have a backup plan, so we'll see."
"I know. The police here have contacted Yang Shuming. He needs to cooperate with the investigation, so we can keep an eye on him." Cui Wen was about to go to work. She told him not to get out of bed before leaving.
As soon as she left, Yao Weiguo jumped down the stairs. He wanted to go back to the compound and call his classmates and friends.
This took most of the day, and I had to rush back before get off work to avoid Cui Wen worrying.
*
Duan Cheng returned home in a daze, packed up his things silently and prepared to leave.
Mei Hong sat there blankly watching, holding the small clothes given by other families in her hands. The seriousness of the matter was far beyond her imagination. She now didn't want her son to have anything to do with Yao Jingjing anymore.
I quickly tried to persuade her: "Ah Cheng, things have come to this, why are you still so stubborn? Quickly persuade her to abort the child. The Yao family has given up on her."
"The more this happens, the more I can't ignore her. Mom, you don't have to worry about me. Don't worry, I won't stop providing for you in your old age. I just don't want to make my dad angry. It will be better for everyone if I move out for a while." Duan Cheng's eyes were red as he packed up quickly.
Meihong refused to let him go, so he jumped over her head, threw the bag out, and then bent down to get out from under her armpit.
Mei Hong was so scared that she quickly tried to pull him away, but he was an adult man after all, and she, as his mother, could no longer stop him.
In the end, she could only watch her son go away, crying her heart out.
Duan Cheng had just moved into the university staff dormitory and was about to pack up when a student from the medical school came over and asked, "Hello, are you Duan Cheng?"
"I am." Duan Cheng looked at him curiously. "What's the matter?"
"Here you are." The student delivered the letter and left to avoid being seen.
Duan Cheng closed the door and suspiciously opened the envelope. The original text was as follows:
Hello Duan Cheng:
Don't ask who I am; it's unimportant. Just know that I will help Yao Jingjing at all costs. For now, hold your breath and wait and see what the Yao family does next. Once they've played all their cards, I'll act. I'll bail her out, claiming she suffers from long-term mental illness, and send her to a mental hospital for recuperation. During this time, I hope you'll stand firm and insist on keeping your child. Loving each other is not easy, and staying together is even harder. I hope you'll cherish each other and not let minor setbacks defeat you.
—Anonymous
Next to the signature, there was a small pink flower, which looked like a peach blossom, but also like a cherry blossom. He couldn't quite tell the difference.
However, there is a notch at the top of the petals, could it be cherry blossoms?
He read the letter again and again, and what touched him most were the last two sentences. It was true that love was not easy, and he would definitely cherish it. He would wait for his beloved woman and never give up.
In the afternoon, he went to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the progress, but the square-faced man remained tight-lipped and refused to say anything.
Even his request for visitation was rejected, which made him so angry that he went to the director the next day to protest with the criminal law provisions.
"My wife is pregnant. According to the Criminal Law, she can be released on bail or placed under residential surveillance. You are abusing a pregnant woman. Please let her out." Duan Cheng stayed at Director Jiang's door and refused to leave.
Director Jiang had all the necessary procedures and didn't want to pay any attention to him, but he still tried to persuade him for his father's sake. In the end, he refused to budge, and Director Jiang could only sigh.
Old Duan is so unlucky. How could he have given birth to such a foolish son? He didn't even think about whether this would bring disaster to his reputation.
It's simply unreasonable.
Duan Cheng's mind is full of his wife and children, so why would he care about anything else?
He came as soon as he opened his eyes every day, with some biscuits and a military water bottle on his back, and stayed there all day long.
On the eighth day of the protest, the school sent a warning that he would be fired if he did not return to work.
He didn't want his wife and children to be left without money, so he had to go back in shame, but he still persevered and came whenever he had no classes.
Director Jiang really couldn't do anything about him, so he had to inform everyone in the bureau to pretend that Duan Cheng didn't exist.
Soon, he received a call from the Yicheng Public Security Bureau.
"Hello, Director Jiang? I'm Yang Shuming."
"Hello, Xiao Yang. How's the investigation going over there?"
"It's almost done. Yao Jingye has returned. We've interviewed a large number of people in Yaowangzhuang. Even the educated youth who worked in the countryside can attest to the fact that Yao Erdan and Wang Fang did abuse Yao Zhizhi. They're willing to testify in court."
"That's good. Trafficking and abuse are enough to make them suffer."
"They also stole fish from the production team, weighing over 300 kilograms. They've been arrested for some time. This case is being prosecuted separately and is currently going through the formalities. The trafficking and abuse cases can be investigated together."
"Okay, you guys handle it on your own. If you have any further news, please contact me immediately. Oh, and don't forget to send me a copy of the file."
"Okay. Director Jiang, I'd like to ask, will this case be heard at your place, or at ours?"
"Although this case was originally handled by our court, the crime scene, the suspect's residence, and the victim's place of residence are all in Yicheng. Considering various factors, such as the cost of having the suspect and witnesses appear in court, it would be more appropriate to have the case handled by your court. Don't worry, our court will contact you."
"Okay, goodbye." Yang Shuming hung up the phone, picked up the photo on the table, and thought about something.
This is a photo of Yao Miaomiao, which has been sent to me some time ago.
He actually has no objection to remarriage, but maybe the other person is not willing to come here for him?
Besides, Yao Miaomiao is only 26 years old and works in a good company. If she comes to his place, finding a job will be a headache.
It's not that he can't support his wife and children, but he thinks it's a shame for an announcer at a provincial radio station to give up his bright future and come here just to get married.
After much deliberation, he called his cousin back: "Uncle, I think it's better to forget it. She has a good job in the Northeast, and I can't guarantee that I can find someone as good as her here."
"The court hearing will be held soon. The whole family will be there then. You can meet them first." Tao Songnian was reluctant to give up this good marriage.
That's Old Yao's daughter, he loves her very much.
Unfortunately, he had no son of his own, so he could only let his nephew try.
Yang Shuming did not refuse. It was fine. It was just a meeting. He was an old man in his thirties and he did not believe that such a gifted girl would be interested in him.
When the time comes, Yao Miaomiao will say that it is inappropriate, and her uncle will have no say.
The next day, when he was resting, he went to Ba Tiao Hutong to look for Tang Fengyuan, but he was not at home.
It is already October, the golden autumn. Several sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in the yard have quietly bloomed overnight, filling the air with sweet fragrance.
He looked at the young man sitting under a loquat tree weaving baskets and asked, "Where are Officer Tang and his family?"
"I'm accompanying my sister to a prenatal checkup." Yao Weihua looked up and smiled at the plainclothes officer. "Are you Officer Yang?"
"It's me." Yang Shuming was not surprised. This kid could stay here anonymously. It would be impossible without some brains.
Yao Weihua stopped what he was doing and stood up to pour some boiled water: "Come in and sit down."
Yang Shuming grabbed a small stool and sat down next to him. "I'm here to talk about your sister's case. The case is currently going through the formalities in the Northeast, and will be transferred to the local court next month. You should decide when to tell your sister."
"No news has leaked out yet. Let's wait until her pregnancy is stable." Yao Weihua is not sure whether this will work. He will make a decision after calling his eldest brother to discuss it.
Yang Shuming took the teacup and after some thought asked, "The case of the replacement woman may not be scheduled until March next year. Will your second sister come to the court?"
"Of course we'll come, the whole family will come." Yao Weihua sat down, raised his face and looked over with a smile, "Did Uncle Tao act as a matchmaker for you two?"
"You know everything?" Yang Shuming put the teacup on the small table next to him, wanting to say that he didn't want to delay the other person's sister.
Yao Weihua guessed what he was thinking and smiled, saying, "My sister is an adult and has her own opinions. You can meet her first and talk about it later. There's no rush now."
"Okay, then I'll go back. If you need any help, you can call me." Yang Shuming got up and left.
Yao Weihua invited him to dinner, but he just waved his hand and said, "You're welcome."
Soon, Yao Zhizhi came back.
She handed the blood test report to her cheap brother: "See, it's type A blood, no need to worry."
"That's good. What's my brother-in-law's blood type?" Yao Weihua breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it's not type O, it's good.
"He also has type A blood." Yao Zhizhi sat down with a smile. She felt like making up a few stories, but was immediately stopped by Yao Weihua.
"Get out of here, get out of here. This is none of your business. You should have a good rest. This is your first child. Nothing can go wrong." Yao Weihua is a man who dotes on his sister.
I was so nice to Yao Jingjing before, but it was all in vain. Now I have to double compensate my sister.
Yao Zhizhi had no idea about this, she just felt that he was a little too protective of her.
Helplessly, he said, "You don't really think of me as your sister, do you? You'll regret it when you find your own biological sister. Oh, it turns out that Yao Zhizhi and I have no blood relationship. I shouldn't have been so nice to her earlier."
"Brother-in-law, can you please take care of your wife? She is so annoying!" Yao Weihua didn't want to say this to her, so he could only call for help.
Qi Changxiao went into the house, put down the medicine, and hurried out to take the person away.
"He will be sad if you say that." Qi Changxiao went into the room and tried to persuade him.
Yao Zhizhi sighed: "I'm just afraid that he will be even more sad in the future."
Qi Changxiao has been living with this adopted brother for two months and found that he is a simple-minded and nice person. A few days ago, he even suggested to his mother that she should just adopt him as her godson.
But his mother didn't want to.
He could only persuade his wife: "No, he chose it himself, no one forced him. As for his wages for weaving baskets, you can save them and pay him back when he gets married. Keep them now, otherwise he will be unhappy again."
"I understand." Yao Zhizhi had been suffering from morning sickness recently and felt weak, so she just lay down.
Qi Changxiao sat beside her and fanned her. It was October, and it was a bit difficult to use an electric fan, so a palm-leaf fan was just right.
His eyes swept over the calendar on the wall and he asked, "There's a theft case at Yaowangzhuang. I heard the trial will go on next month. Do you want to go back?"
"I'll go back to see my sisters after I'm done with morning sickness." Yao Zhizhi felt so uncomfortable. It turned out that being pregnant was really a torture.
She was so angry that she simply grabbed the man's arm and bit it.
Qi Changxiao stroked her hair lovingly, "Bite it, bite it." If possible, he really wanted to suffer this for her.
In the afternoon, after Yao Zhizhi fell asleep, he went out to look for fruit.
Yao Weihua asked, and he got on his bike without looking back: "She wants to eat something sour, and will be back soon."
Sure enough, within two hours, he brought back a bunch of sour fruits. Yao Weihua snatched them away and checked them one by one to see which ones were edible and which ones were not.
Qi Changxiao stood under the shade of a tree, looking at his nervous look, and had an illusion that this adopted brother might really be his wife's biological brother.
He couldn't help but squat down, looked her over carefully, and asked, "Brother, tell me the truth, is Zhizhi your biological sister? Is your last name... Yao?"
