When Xiao Yan returned home that evening, she was extremely depressed. She thought she would never have anything to do with that scumbag again, but she never expected that such a person would dare to come to her door!
Her sullen mood drew everyone's attention. Hearing that the scumbag still dared to harass her, Grandpa Xiao was so angry that he stood up and wanted to fight him.
They made all sorts of promises to me back then, but they were only loyal for a month. Their illegitimate child was born less than two months after Xiao Gengwu's. It's disgusting!
Do you still dare to cause trouble now? Do you think the Xiao family has no one left?
Xiao Gengwu asked his grandfather to sit down: "I'll handle this matter."
Old Master Xiao shook his head: "You are still his son. If you deal with him, it will leave a reason for people to talk. I am different."
Old Master Xiao was a generation above him, and he was superior in status. Xiao Yan didn't want Xiao Gengwu to meet such a disgusting person.
That person had almost forgotten that he had a son named Xiao Gengwu. He didn't ask about his son at all during this meeting and just wanted Xiao Yan to go back. Judging from his clothes, he was probably in dire straits.
Xiao Yan found it strange: "He looks very down and out. Does the Chen family no longer care about him?"
He is, after all, a child of the Chen family. No matter how angry the Chen family is at him for being disappointing, they should at least give him food to eat!
Yao Tongjia and Xiao Gengwu exchanged a glance. Xiao Gengwu touched his nose, realizing that he had never told his mother that his good father was not actually a child of the Chen family.
"Mom, I forgot to tell you, Chen Zhiyuan is not a child of the Chen family at all. His mother had an affair with someone in the village and pretended that he was a posthumous child."
"How could that be?" Xiao Yan was genuinely surprised. "How did you know?"
Xiao Gengwu was even more at a loss for words: "When I was with that old lady, while you were at work, that person came over and threatened the old lady to take money."
"The old lady was with you? You were only a few months old at that time? You already have memories?"
Grandpa Xiao was delighted: "I have memories from just a few months ago, it seems Ah Geng inherited my genes!"
Grandma Xiao was unhappy: "He inherited my genes!"
Grandpa Xiao didn't dare to argue with his wife: "It's inherited from you, and it's inherited from me, it's all of them!"
The greatest joy in life is having successors! For researchers like Mr. and Mrs. Xiao, this is also a time when they value the passing down of knowledge and skills.
They simply don't necessarily want a son to inherit everything, which is why they only have one daughter!
Xiao Yan ignored the two elderly people: "You're only a few months old. You can understand what's going on just by listening to what they say?"
Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "No, I only heard about it before and remembered it in my mind. Later, when Old Madam Chen came to cause trouble, I connected the dots and knew what was going on."
"So you used this to threaten her, and that's why she gave up and went back?" Xiao Yan now understood why Old Mrs. Chen was so easy to talk to; it turned out that her grandson had caught her red-handed.
Now everyone admired Xiao Gengwu to the extreme; his memory and analytical skills were truly outstanding.
"No wonder he's so down on his luck. He probably lost his job too. I wonder if he's gotten his property back. Judging from his clothes, I bet his new wife doesn't care about him either."
Grandma Xiao didn't want Xiao Yan's happiness to be ruined by that shameless person again: "Why don't you get married sooner? You're getting old, there's no need to keep dragging it out like this!"
Before Xiao Yan could speak, the eagle-eyed man who had just come up immediately exclaimed with delight: "My marriage application came through a while ago, but I was afraid Yanzi wouldn't agree, so I didn't tell her."
"Yanzi, how about we register tomorrow?" The eagle-eyed man's eyes were full of anticipation, but also fear of rejection!
Grandma Xiao nodded: "You two shouldn't delay any longer. Go and get your marriage certificate tomorrow. As for whether or not to have a wedding, that's up to you."
The hawk-eyed man immediately stood up: "How much dowry do you need? I'll go get the bankbook right now, you can withdraw whatever amount you want!"
Everyone burst into laughter, making the Hawkeye man's face turn bright red. Despite the hardships he faced, he managed to contort himself into the image of an innocent young man.
Xiao Yan was a straightforward person: "Okay, I'll ask for leave tomorrow, and then we'll get married!"
"Okay, okay, I'll go get the bankbook!" Then the eagle-eyed man performed a disappearing act on the spot, and he vanished in no time!
Grandpa Xiao smiled and nodded: "You chose the right person this time. I don't have to worry about you anymore!"
Xiao Gengwu comforted his grandfather: "Grandpa, you don't need to worry about Mom anymore. No matter what, I'll be there to support her and I'll never let her suffer!"
Grandpa Xiao was even more pleased: "Good, good, from now on I will entrust your mother to your protection. I trust you completely!"
The next day, Xiao Yan took the eagle-eyed man to the hospital first. She asked the department head for half an hour's leave, and the two of them quickly went to get their marriage certificate. Then they went to buy two or three bags of candy.
While Xiao Yan was distributing candy, Chen Zhiyuan arrived again. He had already made a deal with his current wife yesterday: as long as Xiao Yan was willing to marry him, they would immediately get a divorce!
Neither of them is currently employed. They used to be very frugal, but now that they've been laid off, their savings are quickly depleted.
The two of them have exchanged everything they could for money, but now they even have to rent a place to live. They really can't afford to live on their own anymore.
Chen Zhiyuan promised that he would still send her money every month after the divorce, and that he would be able to support her. Now that Chen Zhiyuan was no longer a hot commodity, she agreed.
Chen Zhiyuan came over today in high spirits, wanting to tell Xiao Yan that he could divorce his wife and marry her immediately. However, when he arrived at the department, he found Xiao Yan handing out wedding candy.
He was struck dumb, and ran over to question Xiao Yan, but was kicked to the ground by the eagle-eyed man. He could tell at a glance that this man was a soldier, and he immediately lay on the ground and acted like a rogue: "Soldiers are hitting people! Soldiers are hitting people!"
Seeing this shrewish behavior, Xiao Yan felt extremely ashamed of her past choice. How could she have fallen for such a person?
Zhang Min chimed in from the side: "The military and the people are one family. If you assault someone and are reported to the military region, you won't get away with it!"
Zhang Min was extremely jealous. The man next to Xiao Yan, although he had scars on his face, truly cared for Xiao Yan and wouldn't even let her take a bag of candy.
When people reach middle age, what they care about most is whether a man is considerate or not; whether he is good-looking or not is secondary. Why is Xiao Yan always so lucky?
And every day I work hard to earn money and come home to find myself busy with chores, yet I don't even get a kind word in return. If I'm not happy with anything, they beat and kick me.
Why do people who are essentially the same receive such different treatment?
