"I didn't! You're talking nonsense. I just don't want a stepmother. I didn't mean to anger my grandparents!" Li Hang was both angry and anxious, but Young Master Bai suppressed him like a Buddha.
Young Master Bai: "If you don't want a stepmother, just say so. You can talk to your dad and grandparents. Why can't you talk things out properly? Why are you talking about changing your surname and demanding child support? Aren't you just deliberately trying to upset your grandparents?"
"I, I, I," Li Hang stammered for a long time, unable to say anything. His mother had taught him to say it that way.
Young Master Bai: "Besides, you're already in high school, and in two years you'll be in college. You'll be an adult soon. What difference will it make if you have a stepmother or not? Why are you so resistant to your stepmother? If your stepmother wants to treat you badly, will your grandma let her? What, do you want your dad to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?"
“I have my own mother, I don’t want a stepmother. My mother knows she was wrong, and I have already forgiven her.” Teenagers are sensitive and rebellious, and once they’ve made up their minds, it’s hard to persuade them otherwise.
"If I send you back to your old school, will you still say that?" Young Master Bai asked with a forced smile. The old school was all relocated from the same village, and everyone knew about his mother's past.
The reason Li Hang is living on the farm now is that he doesn't want to go back and be pointed at and gossiped about.
He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck bulged. "Anyway, I don't agree to my dad finding me a stepmother."
Young Master Bai sneered, "Your dad doesn't need your permission to find someone, and you disagree? Fine, whatever. You're not that old. Your father hasn't even been supported by you yet, and you already want to be in charge. Your dad isn't that old either. If you're useless, he can just have another one. You can change your surname to your mother's. Who are you trying to scare?"
Xingping, who was eavesdropping outside, seemed to be deep in thought.
Li Hang stared at Young Master Bai in shock. "Now with the family planning policy, they don't allow births." Li Hang didn't know how to refute this, but then he remembered this sentence.
Young Master Bai: "So what if we have the one-child policy? We'll just pay the fine. Your dad's not short of money. Let's have a few more while we're still young."
"No, I don't agree," Li Hang said, his lips trembling.
Young Master Bai: "If you don't agree, go find your mother and tell her not to have any more children."
Li Hang was so angry that he was panting heavily. "My dad isn't like that. He won't find me a stepmother, and he won't have any more children."
“I can, why can’t I?” Xingping stopped eavesdropping and stood up to say it.
"Dad, you don't want me anymore?" Li Hang looked at Xingping in disbelief.
“Your dad and grandpa are furious. Why would I want you? If you want to stay with your mom, go ahead. I’ll give you child support every month. When you turn eighteen, you can change your surname or name as you please. I won’t stop you.” Xingping, who had always been timid, straightened his back.
"I...I'm going to find my mom, let me go!" Li Hang was still a child, simple-minded, and couldn't take it anymore after being provoked by Young Master Bai and Xingping.
Young Master Bai got up helplessly. What was Xingping doing coming in here? He was an outsider, and he said that the child wouldn't take it to heart. He was scared and would be fine in a while. But Xingping's words pierced the child's fragile self-esteem.
Li Hang wiped away his tears and ran out, it was unclear whether he was going to the hospital or to find his mother.
"Go with him and see what happens, just in case something goes wrong," Young Master Bai said worriedly, watching Li Hang's retreating figure.
"Go wherever you want, Brother Bai, you're right. This account is ruined, I'll just have a few more. I'm his father, I'm not going to put up with this nonsense." Xingping's eyes flashed with anger.
Young Master Bai… he was just teasing the child, did this guy really fall for him? Good heavens! What a tragedy!
"It's not Xingping, I was just joking with the child to tell him not to bother you," Young Master Bai quickly explained.
