Chapter 313
The juniors had a very pleasant chat with Yuan Jing. When they parted, they asked for his contact information and said they would visit him at the Imperial University when they had time.
In the end, Yuan Jing was driven back to school by Bai Laoliu. Before leaving, Yuan Jing seemed to have digested the "shock" and stated that he respected his father's decision. If his father decided to recognize the Bai family, he would go with him. If his father decided not to recognize them, then he would treat them as Bai Qiuxing's brothers. Of course, Bai Laoda and the others said that they respected Yuan Jing's opinion.
After getting off the car at the school gate and waiting for Bai Laoliu to drive away, Yuan Jing turned around and went to his small home outside the school, where Jian Hui was waiting for him.
As soon as he entered the room, Yuan Jing smiled and said, "The Bai family has quite a large number of people. Not all of them are here today. And I think they all have good personalities. It's hard to imagine that in such a family atmosphere, Bai Qiumin would grow up to be that kind of person. Is heredity so strong?"
Jian Hui hugged him without saying anything. In his opinion, even if Yang Shu did not do it for himself, he would still accept this marriage for Yuan Jing's sake, because with relatives in the imperial capital to help take care of his children, Yuan Jing would be able to get better development in the imperial capital.
Therefore, Yang Shu and Yan Changjiang would most likely come to the capital with the Bai family to live for a while, and then he and Yuan Jing would have to go back to their secret relationship. He felt depressed at the thought that he could not visit Yuan Jing anytime and anywhere.
"Why don't we just be honest?" Jian Hui said this after a long pause, but then shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, I'll just suffer for a while longer, I'll work harder, launch the factory's new products, earn myself more points, and then be honest, so as not to embarrass your father and the others."
Yuan Jing patted his head and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, but I can't see you anytime."
Yuan Jing stood up and pulled him up and walked out: "Come on, drive me to the factory. The two instruments are about to be finished. Let's finish them before my father and the others get here."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." With these two instruments, Yuan Jing's words will carry more weight and he won't be treated as a child by others.
In Yanjia Village, Yang Shu was completely confused by the three people who came to his door and the situation they told him. He had lived for more than 40 years, and now someone suddenly came to tell him that they were his real father, and the original family was just his adoptive father, and they were replaced maliciously. He was supposed to be a member of the Bai family in the imperial capital.
Yan Changjiang's reaction was better than his, and Yan Changjiang couldn't lose his composure. He had to keep an eye on Yang Shu. This incident was a big blow to Yang Shu. Just imagine that his life of more than 40 years was maliciously replaced by someone else. He should have been a child of a family in the imperial capital, he should have grown up happily in the imperial capital, went to school, and had a decent job in the imperial capital.
Yan Changjiang asked them for evidence very calmly. He didn't quite understand the identification certificate they took out, but he heard from the young man who came with him that this was the most effective identification method nowadays, with almost no error rate. He also brought a photo of his uncle. After looking at the photo, Yang Changjiang had to admit that his Jingge'er and Yang Shu both looked a bit like the young man in the photo.
In fact, he had heard about the situation of Yang Tugen's family and had felt envious, but he was a down-to-earth man. After the envy, he returned to his own life and relied on his own hands to give his husband and children a good life.
But it turned out that the enviable good days of Yang Tugen's family should have belonged to Yang Shu, but were stolen by the Yang family using despicable means. Yan Changjiang was angry with Yang Tugen's family. Not only did they occupy Yang Shu's identity, they also did not take good care of Yang Shu and even did not let him go to school. Yang Shu should have had a very good future.
"There's something you may not know," Yan Changjiang couldn't help but say, "When I proposed to Yang Shu, his family firmly disagreed and asked for a very high gift. It was impossible to raise that much even if they sold everything they had. They found a widower in his forties for Yang Shu, who had several children. Because the gift was very high, the first time Yang Shu resisted them, they locked him up and didn't even give him a bite of food. They just waited until the appointed day and tied him up and sent him to the family."
Father Bai thought that his premonition was correct. It was Yan Changjiang who called the Women's Federation to prevent Yang Shu from falling into the tiger's den.
"Later, I went to the Women's Federation to expose the matter. The comrades in the Women's Federation were very serious and went to the countryside to investigate the matter. After the investigation, they severely criticized the Yang family. When I went to propose marriage, the Yang family quickly married Yang Shu to me and sent her away. In fact, the Women's Federation also found out that the widower's previous husband was beaten to death by him. After verification, the widower was arrested. I don't know what happened afterwards."
"Damn the Yang family!" Bai Qiuxing was filled with anger when he heard this. At the same time, he had a good impression of Yan Changjiang's brother-in-law. He didn't expect that someone who was born in the countryside and had not seen much of the world could think of such a solution. He knew that there were actually many such situations in the countryside, but how many people could do it to the extent of Yan Changjiang?
"In fact, if this route was blocked, I wanted to escape with Yang Shu. Fortunately, the Yang family is quite afraid of the government officials."
Bai's father couldn't stop crying, and his eyes turned red when he heard this. Although this brother-in-law had the worst conditions, he saved Yang Shu's life, and was also his and his husband's benefactor. They both failed to take good care of their child.
"Son, it's your father who is sorry for you. If your father had been more careful, he would not have lost you. Now you blame your father." Father Bai held Yang Shu's hand tightly and refused to let go, fearing that if he let go, he would lose his brother again.
Yang Shu felt sad after hearing this. If they wanted to blame the Bai family, they would have never thought that the Yang family would use such means and tactics. They regarded the Yang family as their benefactors, and the Yang family had been living a good life over the years. Coming from Donghe Village, how could he not know the situation of Yang Tugen's family.
He did not have deep feelings for the Yang family, and they had become increasingly distant over the years. If it were not for their reputation, he would not have been willing to have any dealings with them. But from Mr. Bai, he could sense a different kind of affection from the Yang family.
He tried to comfort Father Bai, because he could see that Father Bai was not in good health: "It's not your fault, you didn't want to do this, and I'm living a good life now, really, Brother Changjiang treats me very well, I'm very happy to marry Brother Changjiang, and to have such a good child like Brother Jing."
"I used to think that maybe my relationship with my father was too shallow, so I always had a bad relationship with them. Now I know that I am not their biological child. No wonder they treat me like that. Now I can let it go completely."
"Yes, let it go. It's time to let it go. They are not worthy of being your fathers. We are. Child, let your fathers and fathers compensate you for the decades of suffering you have endured."
Father Bai patted Father Bai on the back and said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's stay here for a few days and sort out our relationship with the Yang family. Then we can talk about our relationship with Ashu."
Father Bai immediately realized that he couldn't put too much pressure on Yang Shu: "Yes, yes, your father is right, can we stay here for a few days?"
That cautious tone made Yang Shu's heart ache again. This time he believed that this was really his biological father. He nodded and said, "Okay, the house is quite spacious. Jing Ge'er is not here, so there is room for him to stay."
"Okay, okay." Father Bai was finally happy. He could see that Yang Shu was a kind-hearted boy.
The three of them drove into Yanjia Village and parked the car in front of Yan Changjiang's house, which attracted the attention of many villagers. They gathered at the door of Yan Changjiang's house, wanting to know which big shot had come to Yan Changjiang's house.
Someone also went to Grandpa Yan and asked him if he knew who had come to his son's house. Grandpa Yan had an awkward feeling towards the second son's family, but he also wanted to know who the second son had met this time, perhaps he could help the eldest son and his family.
Previously, they had a bad relationship with Yan Changjiang because of the cooperative. The old man and the eldest brother probably wanted to go against Yan Changjiang. What good could they gain from joining the cooperative? They might as well use the land to grow some vegetables and sell them in the town. If they lost money, their whole family would be implicated. Therefore, the only share Yan Changhai's family had in the cooperative was the collective mountain land that was allocated to them.
In the house, Bai Dad stopped crying under the comfort of Bai's father and Yang Shu. At this time, someone knocked on the courtyard door, and they noticed that there were a lot of noises outside. Yan Changjiang hurried over to open the door. The old man walked in and asked directly: "What guests have come to the house? Why don't you call us? We will help you entertain the guests."
"This... is to find Yang Shu." Yan Changjiang didn't know whether to tell Yang Shu's life story.
Bai Qiuxing came out from behind, and his appearance made the noise outside quiet down a lot, because Bai Qiuxing looked like someone from a big city, like a rich young master in the old society, so they didn't dare to shout out loud.
"Brother, this is..." Bai Qiuxing asked with a smile, but in fact he knew the other party's identity very well. Yan Changjiang was a good person, but his father was not. He knew that Yang Shu's first child was miscarried because she did too much work, and the old nanny of the Yan family had always been very picky about Yang Shu.
Brother-in-law? The villagers were all listening attentively. He actually called Yan Changjiang brother-in-law? Where did Yan Changjiang get this relative?
Yan Changjiang said a little embarrassedly: "This is my father and the villagers in the village."
"Oh, it's my uncle. Let me introduce myself. I am Yang Shu's seventh brother. Yang Shu is my biological second brother. This time I brought my father and grandfather here to recognize my second brother. My last name is Bai Qiuxing. I've been taken care of by all the villagers in the past."
The crowd burst into laughter. Where did Yang Shu's seventh brother come from? There were only a few brothers in his Yang family, so how could there be a seventh brother? So the villagers asked all at once.
Bai Qiuxing had no intention of covering up for the Yang family: "Actually, speaking of our family's story, perhaps you have heard about it. Before liberation, my father came here to hide in the countryside for a while, and gave birth to a child and entrusted it to the Yang family to take care of. A few years later, he came back and took the child away. But it was not until recently that I found out that the child my father took away was not his own child, but the flesh and blood of the Yang family. The biological child was actually Yang Shu who was sent to a relative's house."
“Oh my god, is this true?”
The more simple villagers suspected that they had heard something from the Arabian Nights. How could there be such an incredible thing?
"Could it be that you made a mistake?"
Bai Qiuxing took out a photo of Bai Qiumin and showed it to the villagers. The villagers gathered around to watch and then exclaimed. They had all seen Yang Tugen's family. Who told Yang Tugen's family to like to show off in the village? After seeing the photo, who would dare to doubt that Bai Qiumin in the photo was not a member of the Yang family?
They looked at Bai Qiuxing again: "I didn't notice it just now, but now I see that you and Yang Shu really look a bit alike. It turns out that you are a family. The Yang family is too cruel. Yang Shu didn't have a good life in the early years of the Yang family."
"Oh my God, they have deceived people for decades and made them help raise their children for decades."
"It's more than just raising a child. Look at the good life the Yang family is having now. It's obvious that they are helping to support the entire Yang family."
Thinking about the situation of the Yang family and the suffering Yang Shu had endured, they looked at Bai Qiuxing with sympathy.
