Her words caused the smiles on everyone's faces in the courtyard to freeze. Li Zhengguo, who was next to her, even nudged her, signaling her not to say such discouraging things.
Yang Meihua ignored Li Zhengguo and got more and more excited as she spoke, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, I'm doing this for your own good. We've raised that one for twenty years for nothing, spending a lot of money and energy. If we raise another one for twenty years for nothing, wouldn't our Li family be at a huge loss?"
Upon hearing this, Li Zhengyang's face turned cold, and he frowned as he looked at Yang Meihua, seemingly ready to be blunt.
However, before he could say anything, Ye Wenyue, who was beside him, pulled him back.
Ye Wenyue still had a smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes. She looked at Yang Meihua and said calmly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, Duoduo is my daughter. There's no mistake about that. How could I not know my own child?"
"No..." Yang Meihua wanted to speak again, but before she could finish, Ye Wenyue interrupted her, "However, you definitely don't know. You've never had a child of your own in your life, how would you know so much?"
One sentence was all it took to defeat Yang Meihua.
Everyone knows that not having children is Yang Meihua's lifelong pain, and under normal circumstances, no one would attack her for this.
Especially Ye Wenyue, no matter how many conflicts she had with Yang Meihua over the years, she never used this incident to attack her, but if Yang Meihua dared to embarrass her daughter, Ye Wenyue would not be polite.
"You..." Yang Meihua was so angry with Ye Wenyue that her face turned ugly.
Fearing she would start a fuss, Li Zhengguo, who was next to her, immediately gave Li Haotian a look, "Alright, alright, hurry up and go inside, tidy up, we'll get ready to eat when Dongxiu's family arrives."
As he called out, everyone was invited inside.
Yan Junting was called to the backyard by Li Yunjun, apparently because there were new work arrangements, and the two went to discuss work.
Li Yunfeng acted as a peacemaker, chatting and joking with everyone.
Taking advantage of this moment, Li Zhengyang and Ye Wenyue called Yun Duoduo into the house.
Inside the house, Ye Wenyue held Yun Duoduo's arm and comforted her, "Duoduo, don't pay attention to your aunt. That's just her personality. She's had a hard time all these years, and she doesn't want others to be happy either."
Yun Duoduo thought for a moment and realized that her uncle's family didn't seem very harmonious, probably because they hadn't had children.
Whether it's between husband and wife or between mother and child, it doesn't seem like the right thing to do.
Besides, Ye Wenyue had already retorted to what happened earlier, so Yun Duoduo naturally wouldn't take it to heart.
She nodded and smiled at Ye Wenyue, "Mom, it's okay, I understand."
Ye Wenyue smiled and nodded, then stopped talking about it. She pointed to the room where they were and said to Yun Duoduo, "Look, this is the house your dad and I have prepared for you these past few days. You and Junting can move back home, okay?"
Yun Duoduo glanced around and realized that the room wasn't recently cleaned, but rather had been prepared all along.
Because she saw that there were many rag dolls on a small sofa in the room, she guessed that her mother had been hoping for his return, but had not been able to see him for the past few years.
Yun Duoduo had also thought it through. Having acknowledged her parents, she had no intention of coming back to live with them permanently.
She got married and has her own family now.
However, knowing Li Zhengyang and Ye Wenyue's expectations, she smiled and nodded, "Mom, you can clean up this house, and I can come back to stay for a few days from time to time."
“But as you know, Jun Ting has a lot going on at his unit, so we’ve moved back to the unit every day and can only come back on weekends.”
Ye Wenyue was already very satisfied that Yun Duoduo said that, and she immediately nodded, "Okay, okay, then you must come back this weekend. Your parents have already missed you for twenty years, we can't miss you again. Your parents have been sorry for you all these years, if it weren't for..."
Speaking of this, Ye Wenyue's eyes reddened, filled with self-reproach.
Yun Duoduo pulled her close and comforted her, "Mom, since it's all in the past, let's not talk about it anymore. I've been doing quite well these past few years, haven't I?"
"Yes, we must thank the Yun family." Speaking of this, Ye Wenyue remembered something and asked Yun Duoduo, "By the way, Duoduo, I heard from your second brother that the Yun family plans to stay in Kyoto for a long time?"
Yun Duoduo nodded, "Yes, there aren't many good jobs back home. My factory needed help, so I forced them to stay. My dad and my two older brothers will also come over in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenyue immediately nodded, "That's perfect, I've already prepared everything."
As she spoke, she took out a small notebook from her pocket and handed it to Yun Duoduo. "This is a courtyard house that your father and I bought a few years ago on the street near your shop. It's not big, but it's quite nice for the family. I've already transferred the house to your mother's name. You can take these things back to your mother later."
Ye Wenyue had actually considered giving money to the Yun family to repay them, but Song Qinglian insisted on accepting it. The Li family thought about it for a long time and finally decided to use this method.
The little booklet that Ye Wenyue gave to Yun Duoduo is similar to a property ownership certificate, signifying that the house will belong to Song Qinglian from now on.
Yun Duoduo looked at the sign that indeed bore Song Qinglian's name and asked curiously, "It's already been transferred? How did you do that?"
Yun Duoduo was certain that Song Qinglian didn't know about this; if she had, she definitely wouldn't have wanted it.
Ye Wenyue laughed and said, "A couple of days ago, we were talking about registering your mother's household registration. Your mother's introduction letter and household registration were given to your second brother, so I just took care of it. I was worried that if I just gave it to her directly, she definitely wouldn't accept it. They treat you no worse than we do."
"I know that these things can't repay you, but it's better than not showing any gratitude at all."
At this point, Li Zhengyang added, "Duoduo, no matter what method you use, persuade the Yun family to accept this house. From now on, we'll all be family. If you need any help, just tell us, and we'll definitely help if we can."
"When your two older brothers arrive, see what kind of jobs they like, and I'll have your brothers arrange them for you."
Given the circumstances, Yun Duoduo couldn't refuse, and besides, she felt the house would be quite practical for the Yun family.
When family members come to visit, there is a place for them to stay, but staying in the shop is not very convenient. Having our own yard is better than anything else.
She thought she would say it was a rental first, and then tell the Yun family the truth once they moved in.
She nodded. "Okay, I'll go back and tell my mother."
After saying that, Ye Wenyue led Yun Duoduo to the cabinet, smiled and pointed to it, "Also, everything inside the cabinet is prepared for you. Open it and see if you like it."
