To his utter surprise, when he returned to the Li family home, Ning Yue was no longer there; only Ye Wenyue was dismantling things in the living room.
There were several boxes on the coffee table in the living room, and no one knew what was inside.
Yun Duoduo immediately went to her mother's side and asked anxiously, "Mom, where is Aunt Ning? Did she go inside to rest?"
"No, she's gone." After saying that, Ye Wenyue looked at Yun Duoduo curiously and said, "Didn't you say you were busy with the general store and weren't coming back?"
"I came back to get some things," Yun Duoduo replied casually to Ye Wenyue, then asked, "Didn't Aunt Ning say she was going to stay here for a couple of days?"
Ye Wenyue shook her head. "She doesn't have time to stay at home this time; she has to go find someone."
Upon hearing this, Yun Duoduo was startled and immediately asked Ye Wenyue, "Who are you looking for?"
Speaking of this, Ye Wenyue was quite surprised and said to Yun Duoduo and Li Yunfeng, "I just found out that your Aunt Ning has a son."
Yun Duoduo was about to ask Ning Yue if she had any children in Haicheng, but Li Yunfeng interrupted, "Son, where would Aunt Ning get a son? Didn't you say she got divorced a long time ago and didn't have any children when she divorced?"
"Aunt Ning got divorced? And she didn't have any children?" Yun Duoduo asked again to confirm.
At this point, Ye Wenyue sighed, "This matter..."
She hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying, "Actually, it's not something to be proud of. Just listen and forget about it. This son was born in the countryside before your Aunt Ning got married. She went to the countryside for a few years, had a relationship with a man, and then..."
Ye Wenyue felt it wasn't appropriate to discuss Ningyue's past with her children, so she didn't go into details, only saying, "Anyway, there's a child..."
Yun Duoduo's face grew increasingly grim. So Ning Yue already knew about this. Was there any point in hiding it?
Moreover, Ye Wenyue just said that Ningyue went to look for her child. Where did she go to look? Her child is in Kyoto.
Thinking of this, Yun Duoduo immediately asked Ye Wenyue, "Mom, does Aunt Ning know who her child is and where he is?"
"Of course I don't know." Ye Wenyue shook her head and said helplessly, "She plans to go to the countryside where she used to live to inquire. She's sure she can find someone there."
Ning Yue is going to the countryside to find the Yan family? She'll definitely find them.
What should she do now? Should she send someone to stop Ning Yue?
Over here, Ye Wenyue was still sighing about the children, "If you think about it, your Aunt Ning's child is about the same age as Yunfeng and Junting, and they're probably married and have children by now."
That's right, Yan Junting is about the same age as Li Yunfeng.
While Yun Duoduo hesitated about whether to tell Ning Yue about it, Li Yunfeng was also quite curious about the child and kept pulling Ning Yue aside to ask, "Mom, when did Aunt Ning find out she had a child?"
“It was before the New Year,” Ye Wenyue said. “Your Aunt Ning’s mother passed away before the New Year. Before she left, she told you this secret and apologized to her.”
Speaking of Ning's mother, since she has passed away, Ye Wenyue naturally didn't want to speak ill of the old woman. She shook her head and said, "Actually, the old woman had good intentions back then. She mainly didn't want your Aunt Ning to have any involvement with that man. She hoped that she could go back to Haicheng and live a happy life."
Upon hearing this, Yun Duoduo thought of Ning Yue now. Although she had achieved success, her family life was far from happy, and she was always all alone.
She looked at Ye Wenyue and shook her head, "Mom, actually I don't think Aunt Ning is necessarily happy now either."
“Look at her, her marriage is unhappy, and she’s always been alone. If she had stayed in the countryside and lived with that man, she might be living a good life as a wife and mother now, which would be great.”
Hearing this, Ye Wenyue glanced at Yun Duoduo and gently shook her head, "Silly child, you are still too young. Do you really think that feelings can buy everything? Don't you think about how poor the countryside was back then, and what kind of family your Aunt Ning's family was?"
"Her family was considered wealthy in Haicheng at the time. Her father had retired from the army and was living a good life. Her mother's family was also wealthy. She went to the countryside for some unavoidable reasons, and she would have to go back to Haicheng sooner or later."
"To put it bluntly, no matter what era, parents always hope that their children will achieve great things, especially daughters who have been pampered since childhood. Who wouldn't want them to have a worry-free life in the future?"
“If your Aunt Ning had really stayed in the countryside back then, she probably wouldn’t have been able to stay for more than a few years before something went wrong.”
Yun Duoduo really couldn't refute this.
If you've never experienced hardship since birth, you might not be able to endure a difficult life.
Take Ye Wenyue for example; even now, she lives a very refined life.
If it were Ning Yue, wouldn't it be the same?
Even now, life in the countryside is not good, let alone the countryside more than 20 years ago, where most people couldn't even get enough to eat.
Perhaps, as Ye Wenyue said, even if Ningyue stays by Yan Gusheng's side, it might still end in tragedy.
After a pause, Ye Wenyue continued, "That's right, love is a beautiful thing. When you're young, you always feel that love is enough to sustain you, but once you get married and have to live a life of daily necessities, how many people don't complain?"
“Especially for someone like your auntie, who has a way out and is capable, even if she is not afraid of hardship, she will get tired of taking care of children and doing housework every day, and the kind of predicament where she doesn’t know where her next meal will come from.”
Yun Duoduo thought about Ye Wenyue's words and agreed with them.
Perhaps, even if the Ning family hadn't separated Ning Yue and Yan Gusheng, they might not have been able to grow old together.
They were definitely not a good match.
It's very likely that once the honeymoon phase is over, the two will start to have disagreements.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Wenyue added, "Now, Aunt Ning's eldest brother is the commander-in-chief of the First Military Region of Haicheng, her second brother is a division-level cadre, and her third brother is the richest man in Shanghai. He is involved in textiles, real estate, and pharmaceuticals. Your Aunt Ning herself is now the president of the military region's general hospital."
Upon hearing this, Yun Duoduo was stunned. This background was too big.
"That's definitely incomparable." Li Yunfeng also sighed in surprise. They had always thought that their uncle's side had a powerful background, but they didn't expect the Ning family to be even more prestigious.
Ye Wenyue nodded, "Actually, your Aunt Ning herself said that she doesn't blame her family for bringing her back from the countryside back then, but she regrets that she didn't know she had a child all these years. If she had known earlier, she would have brought the child back to Haicheng long ago, and then her child would definitely not have stayed in the countryside for the rest of his life."
"Think about it, how bad could a child raised by the Ning family be?"
