Chapter 413: Whether it's biological father or stepfather, the child will choose biological father or you...
Ye Jingtian disagreed with hiding the child. With Yao Miaomiao's bad temper, she would definitely lift the roof off the house and fight him to the end.
It would be better to coax the children and let them go to the Northeast to experience the benefits of their biological father's side.
As for children, just buy them more food and clothes, take them to parks and zoos more often, and don't force them to do their homework. They are easily bribed.
When the time comes, let the children ask to live with their father. It doesn’t matter even if Yao Miaomiao doesn’t want to. After all, both children are teenagers, and legally they can choose who to live with.
Even if we sue and go through legal procedures, it is better than just hiding the child.
So Ye Jingtian didn't listen to Ye Xin. He just wanted to find someone to vent his grievances to, so as not to be led by the nose by his sister who had also accomplished nothing.
So he warned: "Don't say such things in the future. If Yao Miaomiao finds out, she will definitely not let you go."
"You're not, are you? It's been so many years since the divorce, and you're still afraid of her?"
"I'm afraid of her? Haven't I beaten her enough?"
"Come on, you kick her, and she'll give you ten slaps in return. You're the one who loses anyway."
"Just tell me whether I beat her or not!"
"Okay, okay, okay. If you say you'll beat me, then you'll beat me. I won't argue with you. It's pointless. Anyway, quickly think of a way to get the child over. We can each have one, and then we can have fun together."
Ye Jingtian did not refute this time.
He really loves to play. After so many years of divorce, he has not remained a virgin for anyone. It's just that women nowadays are not easy to deceive. When he found out that his ex-wife came from such a family and was bullied by his family, he naturally didn't dare to jump into the fire pit.
So, although he has had several romances over the years, each one ended before marriage.
The worst time was when he and his girlfriend were about to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate, but the girl’s parents changed their minds.
They also said that someone like him is only worthy of dating and can forget about getting married.
However, the pressure of continuing the family line was real, so he had no choice but to set his sights on his ex-wife's two children.
If I had known this earlier, I would not have given the child to Yao Miaomiao.
Thinking about it now, I feel really angry. I don’t know if teenagers have enough time to develop feelings.
After all, he is not as easy to coax as when he was a child. Oh, I really regret it.
Ye Jingtian hung up the phone, lit a cigarette, went to the guest room upstairs to take a shower, and wait for the rain to stop.
This is not a easy matter to handle. He didn't expect that he would be so unlucky as to run into Yao Weihua. This guy is the most capable of causing trouble. He has to think of a way to get in touch with the child alone first.
Fortunately, it is summer vacation now, and the children will definitely sneak out to play, so there are plenty of opportunities.
Moreover, I heard that Yao Miaomiao has become a T station director and must be very busy. It is up to Xie Chunxing, an old lady, to take care of four children. She will definitely be distracted sometimes. He just needs to be patient.
Having made up his mind, he opened the dry food he brought with him, ate some compressed biscuits, opened a can of beef, and made do with a lunch.
After eating, he rested his arms on his head and went to sleep with the sound of rain.

Qi Changxiao didn't plan to eat at his second aunt's place. After all, his father-in-law had already cooked in the small courtyard by the lake behind, and he couldn't let the old man work in vain.
So the group talked for a while and prepared to leave. From beginning to end, Guanying did not come out, but Guangmei came out and called his uncle and aunt.
Qi Changxiao stood up, looked into the room, and shouted, "Wife, hasn't Guanying finished his homework yet? Third brother said he would go back with us to eat."
Yao Zhizhi stood up and tugged at Guanying: "Quick, stop writing, go out and say hello to your third uncle."
Guanying then put down his pen, tugged at his clothes, grabbed his frizzy bangs, and muttered, "If I had known Third Uncle was coming back today, I should have gotten a haircut."
Yao Zhizhi smoothed out the wrinkles on his shirt and said with a smile, "Oh, our Guanying is becoming vain. Go ahead, Third Uncle won't say anything."
Guanying smiled, stood up and went outside to the living room. When the young boy stood there, he became a beautiful sight.
Yao Weihua had wanted to go in and see his eldest nephew before, but he held back for fear of disturbing the child's studies. Seeing his eldest nephew finally come out, he was very happy. He quickly walked over and put his arm around the boy's shoulders, comparing their heights: "Not bad, Guanying, you're almost up to your uncle's shoulders. In two or three years, you'll be able to catch up!"
Guanying smiled shyly: "That's impossible. Third uncle, you and my uncle are both over the height limit. It would be great if I could grow to 1.8 meters."
"One meter eighty is no problem, your mother is not short. A tiger mother has no dogs." As for that bastard Ye Jingtian, it's better not to mention him.
However, precocious children can keenly perceive the topics that their elders deliberately avoid.
Guanying knew that if his parents had not divorced, his third uncle would be mentioning his father's height right now.
However, there are no ifs in this world, and even with his stepfather Yang Shuming present, Guanying himself would not bring up the topic of his biological father, let alone his third uncle.
Guanying understood his third uncle's avoidance, but he also felt a little melancholy because of this avoidance.
How he wished he could be like Jinghui and Tingfeng, free and unrestrained, without any psychological burden, able to act coquettishly when he wanted to and act wild when he wanted to.
How he wished he could be like the stars and the moon, with loving parents. Even if they had a quarrel occasionally, it would be in a flirting tone.
Children raised by loving parents are naturally lively, romantic, and free of psychological burdens.
But he and Guangmei did not have such good fortune.
They are unfortunate enough to have a terrible and awful biological father.
However, they are lucky. Their stepfather Yang Shuming is not only a role model front-line criminal policeman, but also a gentle and kind stepfather.
Not only did Yang Shuming never blame or mistreat them, he also always considered them, fearing that he would touch their sensitive and fragile hearts.
However, the more this happened, the more melancholy Guanying felt.
If only, if only his and Guangmei’s biological father was also Yang Shuming.
Or, it would be great if he and Guangmei’s biological father were good people like Yang Shuming, serious people who cared about their family and had a career.
It’s a pity that there are no ifs in this world.
He could only smile and learn early on to guard the topic that could not be touched together with the adults.
He could only smile and follow his elders, understanding what they meant.
He smiled and held his uncle's hand: "Well, Guangmei will definitely not be short. Third uncle, are you eating here? Ask grandma to add another dish."
"No, grandpa is cooking in the back. We'll eat together tonight." Yao Weihua was eager to go home. He had been talking to his second sister's family here for a long time, but he still hadn't seen the stars and the moon that he missed the most.
Guanying did not try to keep him. He let go of his third uncle and turned to look for an umbrella. Yao Miaomiao had just come out of the shower and quickly helped get two umbrellas.
Yao Weihua took the umbrella, opened it, pulled Yao Miaomiao into the rain and talked to her for a few words before letting go.
Yao Miaomiao was a little surprised that she was distracted while eating.
Yang Shuming passed the chicken leg from his bowl to her and said indirectly, "Honey, is there something wrong at work? Tell me after your nap and I'll give you some advice."
Yao Miaomiao came back to her senses and returned the chicken leg with a smile: "Yeah, okay."
Guanying, who was sitting opposite, knew at a glance that his mother and stepfather were having an encrypted conversation.
He was used to it and didn't think much about it. He just silently picked up the chicken wings from his bowl and gave them to Tingfeng. Then he took the chicken neck from Tingfeng's bowl and said, "Tingfeng, you need to grow up. You eat this. I like to chew on the neck."
Tingfeng didn't believe it and was about to change it back, but he saw that Sister Guangmei also gave her own wing roots to Jinghui, exchanging the claws and ribs in Jinghui's bowl.
Tingfeng silently looked at the chicken wings in the bowl. Although this part did not have as much meat as the chicken legs, it was also a rare and good part of a chicken. The meat was tender and did not get stuck in the teeth. It was not like the big chicken breast which was a bit tough, nor was it like the neck and claws which had more skin and less meat.
But her brothers and sisters were never willing to eat it, so they gave it all to her and Jinghui.
This is not good.
But Jinghui was a little silly and actually thought that his brothers and sisters liked to eat necks and paws.
She held Jinghui's chopsticks and switched the wings, necks, and claws in the four people's bowls. She said angrily, "Big Brother, Second Sister, what's wrong with you two? Do you think I didn't divide it well? Then you two will do it next time. I've already divided it this time. Don't switch it back and forth anymore, or I'll ignore you!"
Guanying had no choice but to comply.
Guangmei seemed to be lost in thought. After finishing her meal, she went into the room with Tingfeng and asked, "Are you worried that big brother won't get enough nutrition to grow?"
Tingfeng was still angry, pouting and mumbling, "That's right, you two are growing up, why don't you eat something good? It's not like the family can't afford it. If you keep up this behavior, I'll ask grandma to kill two chickens next time."
Guangmei smiled and hugged her sister, coaxing her: "Silly girl, you are thinking about me and my brother, and my brother and I are also worried about you and Jinghui. How about this, we take turns eating the wings from now on?"
Tingfeng tilted his head, thought carefully, and finally silently extended his pinky finger: "Pink."
Guangmei smiled and made a pinky promise to her sister, then turned to find her elder brother.
One of them is a student going from primary school to junior high school, and the other is a candidate preparing for the entrance exam to the third year of junior high school in the fall semester. Neither of them can be vague. Even if they take a nap, they still have to study for another half an hour before going to bed, memorizing words and texts.
However, my mother's yard and room are small, so for a nap, they will go to my grandfather's yard in Qi Tiao Hutong.
When the brother and sister were leaving, Yang Shuming caught up with them and accompanied them all the way to the gate of Qi Tiao Hutong.
After Guanying opened the door, Yang Shuming asked, "Are there any worries for you two? If there is anything that is inconvenient to tell Dad, you can write it down and Dad will write back to you when he has time."
Guanying pushed open the door, turned around, and looked at his stepfather with a sincere face under the umbrella. His nose was inexplicably sore, but he still smiled: "No, Dad, Guangmei and I are under a lot of pressure from studying. It's okay. It just so happens that my aunt and uncle are back. If we encounter anything we don't know, we will go to them for help."
Yang Shuming did not force it. He sighed silently when he turned around.
He tried his best, and so did both children.
But things in this world cannot be achieved just by trying your best.
A layer of belly is what prevents them from completely opening their hearts.
All he can do is never mistreat his two children in life, and he will be the first to stand up for them and support them if anything happens.
Otherwise, he really couldn't do anything.
However, even if he couldn't do it, he didn't want to sit and wait for death. He thought about it and took a detour to the courtyard by the lake. He had to talk to Yao Zhizhi.
She is the children's aunt. If she were to communicate with them, they would be able to let go of their psychological burdens.
At the very least, let Yao Zhizhi help ask the two children whether they have ever missed their father in Northeast China. If so, would the children be willing to go back to attend their grandfather's funeral and spend the summer vacation with their father there?
If he asks himself honestly, he hopes the answer is no, he doesn't want to.
But he was an adult and had to be prepared for disappointment, so he stopped abruptly in the puddles beneath his feet and stared at his reflection in the water.
Yang Shuming, be brave. No matter whether the child chooses his biological father or you as his stepfather, you must be prepared to face all the storms.
Taking a deep breath, Yang Shuming shifted his gaze and continued walking towards the courtyard by the lake.
