After this conversation, Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu's relationship became more natural again, and the atmosphere between them became increasingly intimate. Xiao Yan saw this and was happy.
With her son recovering and finding a woman he loves, her anxiety subsided. While her son reassured her, her longing for her parents grew stronger each day.
Xiao Yan had no idea what kind of research her parents were doing, as they worked at a research institute. She initially lived with her parents in the family compound.
Later, when she went to university, she lived on campus. Near graduation, the head of the research institute introduced her to her husband, which could be considered a blind date.
They were both exceptionally good-looking, and it was love at first sight. They quickly fell in love, and Xiao Yan soon brought Chen Zhiyuan to meet her parents.
After meeting Chen Zhiyuan once, his father shook his head and said, "This man is not determined. I heard that he was raised by a widowed mother."
“He must have listened to his mother more since he was a child. His mother has had a great influence on him. Your life together will definitely be a mess.”
This made Xiao Yan somewhat indignant: "We haven't even lived together yet, and you've already rejected us!"
The father knew his daughter's personality; she was stubborn and wouldn't give up until she hit a wall: "I know you're determined to marry him. If you want a better life, you have to please your mother-in-law."
"If you can win your mother-in-law's favor, your life will be good in the future. If your mother-in-law doesn't like you, it will be difficult for you to live in the future."
Xiao Yan was deeply in love with Chen Zhiyuan and couldn't listen to such words. After a hasty meeting with her mother-in-law, she quickly got married.
The marriage started out very sweetly, and the two of them enjoyed two good years together.
In the past two years, sometimes his mother-in-law would cause trouble, and Chen Zhiyuan would shut her down without Xiao Yan having to say anything.
This made Xiao Yan even more smug, thinking that her father had misjudged her and that she would definitely have a happy life.
She just wants to live life to the fullest; she doesn't need to please anyone.
But this life came to an abrupt end. When Xiao Yan saw her mother-in-law arrogantly pushing a woman and a child in front of her, she knew her father was right.
She felt ice-cold all over, as if the world had collapsed. This illegitimate child was born around the same month as her own child, and she didn't know how to face the rest of her life.
She didn't know how Chen Zhiyuan managed to have a child with someone else and still be so sweet and loving with her.
Now, when she thinks about her past with Chen Zhiyuan, she feels like vomiting, and she actually does vomit.
When Chen Zhiyuan came over to help her, she vomited even more violently. She felt that the man in front of her was so dirty and filthy. How could he treat her so indifferently?
Despite his mother and others being present, Chen Zhiyuan knelt on the ground and confessed to her, saying that he had been drugged by his mother and that he did not do it intentionally.
Xiao Yan sneered inwardly. If it wasn't intentional, how many children would have been born?
She herself studied medicine; if she were truly so drunk that she was unconscious, there would be no way she could have sex.
Chen Zhiyuan simply felt that he shouldn't refuse prey that was offered to him.
She originally wanted to leave on the spot and divorce this scumbag immediately, but at this moment, she saw her mother-in-law's smug face.
It's true what they say: those who don't heed the advice of their elders will suffer the consequences.
She deeply regretted not listening to her father and wished she could be crying in her mother's arms right now.
However, my parents were away developing new things, and my mother was not at the research institute.
Before she left, her parents told her that they would hand over the house at the research institute, and that she didn't need to go to the research institute because she wouldn't be able to get in anyway.
Her parents also said that they probably wouldn't even be able to give her a letter in the future, and told her to live her own life well. At that time, their eyes were filled with worry for her.
Her parents must have foreseen her future, but they were powerless to do anything about it. At that time, she thought her parents were so nagging, wondering why they always thought she and Chen Zhiyuan couldn't live a good life together.
Now everything has proven my father right. Because I didn't please that old hag, she sent her mistress to my husband's bed, and now she's even given birth to an illegitimate child.
Since things had already come to this, she decided not to go along with the old hag's wishes and deliberately said she forgave Chen Zhiyuan, thus thwarting her plan.
Seeing the old woman leave in a huff, leaving the woman and child in her old house, Xiao Yan felt nothing at all.
A man who's tainted can be taken by whoever wants him, but what belongs to a child cannot be taken away by anyone, not even a father's love!
But Xiao Yan did not expect that the old woman would take her anger out on the child and keep abusing him. She always thought that the child belonged to the Chen family and that the old woman would not be able to bear to part with him.
By the time she realized it, Xiao Gengwu was already lost in his own thoughts and wouldn't respond no matter what anyone said.
Instead of reflecting on her actions, the old hag said that the child was raised through beatings, and that only her child was precious and could not be hit or touched.
This time, Chen Zhiyuan sided with his mother: "It's not good to spoil a child too much. Look at him, he can't handle anything. How will he amount to anything in the future?"
Xiao Yan felt deeply disappointed in Chen Zhiyuan: "Then I'll beat you three times a day, so you'll become a good person too!"
These words caused the two to part on bad terms. A few days later, Chen Zhiyuan came again, stammering, "Look at him like this, how will he ever be able to support the family in the future!"
Xiao Yan had a vague idea in her mind: "So what do you want?"
"Let that child take over. We'll adopt him and take him back as our son. If you don't want to raise him, that's fine. Let my mom take care of him!"
These words made Xiao Yan deeply regret not listening to her father: "Is this an announcement or a discussion?"
"Is there a difference between informing and discussing? Since your child is already ruined and you're not going to have any more children with me, why not just acknowledge my child back?"
"It really won't work. As long as I'm still in this family, it won't work!"
A few days later, the old woman staged a scene where she caught Xiao Yan cheating on her husband in the house. That day, Xiao Yan received her first letter from her parents in years.
Before she could even feel happy, she saw the words "My parents had an accident," followed by her father asking if she was in trouble.
If so, let her take the child to the Houshan Brigade. Although that place is poor, because Grandpa saved many people there before, she should be able to survive safely in the Houshan Brigade.
In addition, few people know that her family comes from the Houshan Brigade, so no one will go there to look for her.
Thinking about her messy life, she was considering not getting a divorce. She wasn't safe in Beijing, and if something happened, Chen Zhiyuan would be the first to distance himself from her.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but smile bitterly. How did she, a college student and an undergraduate student in medical school, end up like this?
It all started when she disobeyed her parents and, like a moth drawn to a flame, married this scumbag.
She returned home and was still thinking in her room, completely unaware that there were other people in the room. As a result, the old woman brought Chen Zhiyuan to catch them in the act.
Chen Zhiyuan's exasperated expression was so real that Xiao Yan couldn't help but laugh; it was so ironic!
