Chapter 66 I Just Want My Own Child
When Mr. Yu found out that it was a letter from his daughter, he was overjoyed. He quickly opened it and read it carefully. As he read, his expression changed instantly.
He thought he was seeing things and looked at it again.
After reading the letter twice, Yu's father was absolutely certain of the meaning of his daughter's letter. His daughter suspected that Yu Laoer, who grew up with her, was not her biological brother, and she listed various reasons.
She first talked about the second child's height, appearance, and finally his personality.
After that, he went on to say that the two children in the second child's family were not good-looking. Then, looking at the two sons of the eldest child, both of them were pretty, sensible and well-behaved. The contrast was very obvious that there was something wrong with their upbringing, and genes also played a big role.
At the end of the letter, the daughter said: Dad, I don't believe you and Mom would give birth to a son who would kill his brothers and sisters. Where is my second brother? Is he suffering? Is he waiting for us to find him?
He was silent for a long time, thinking about the behavior of the second child over the years, and then thinking about the other thoughtful and kind children who had a good relationship with their siblings.
I used to think the second child was a weirdo, but now it seems that maybe my youngest daughter’s suspicion is true.
When his second child was a few months old, it was obvious that he looked very much like himself and had a personality very similar to his wife. He loved to laugh and chatter a lot, and would tease everyone and talk to him all day long.
He used to often wonder how such a lovely child could become so selfish when he grew up.
Haha, it seems that the biggest problem now lies with my parents.
When Li Xiulan came back, Yu's father showed her the letter directly. He looked at his wife and said seriously, "Be calm after reading this. No matter what happens, we can discuss it properly."
If the incident really happened to his parents, not to mention Xiulan, even he, as a son, would hate them for the rest of his life.
Li Xiulan was very happy at first when she found out it was a letter from her daughter, but when she heard her husband say that, her hand trembled a little as she took the letter: "Old Yu, what happened to our Xiaowu?"
She didn't even have the courage to open the letter.
Father Yu realized that his words frightened his wife, so he quickly pulled her to his side and said, "Daughter-in-law, it's not that our daughter is in trouble, but what she said is a bit shocking."
Hearing that her daughter was not in trouble, Li Xiulan breathed a sigh of relief: "Could it be that my daughter has found a boyfriend in the countryside?"
Think about it, my daughter is already 18 years old, it is normal for her to date someone, but she can't just pick one randomly. Without her parents' supervision, who would know what kind of person the boy is?
Because she was worried, she quickly opened the letter and read it.
After reading it, her face turned pale and she looked at Lao Yu in disbelief. She burst into tears without saying anything: "So, the child you took back home that year was not my second child."
Father Yu saw his daughter-in-law crying, and he hurriedly wiped her tears. Li Xiulan shook off Father Yu's hand and said, "Don't touch me."
She looked at Yu's father fiercely and said, "If your parents really replaced my son, I would fight them to the death."
After saying this, Li Xiulan didn't even look at her husband, and turned and walked out the door. Seeing this, Yu's father quickly chased after her: "Where are you going?"
"Go back to the factory and ask for leave. I want to go back to your hometown to find out clearly." No one knows this matter better than my parents-in-law.
She didn't want to wait any longer and had to find out clearly. If Yu Laoer, whom she raised, was not her biological son, then where was her biological son?
Father Yu also understood the seriousness of the matter, and he quickly said, "I'll go back with you."
As soon as she opened the door, she saw Zhou Cuimei's mother and two children appearing outside. When the thin old lady saw Li Xiulan coming out, she pushed the two children in front of her and said, "These are the grandchildren of your Yu family. I return them to you."
When the two children saw Li Xiulan and Yu's father, they rushed over and called them grandpa and grandma, crying and opening their arms for a hug.
Li Xiulan stepped back and looked at Old Lady Zhou coldly: "If you don't take the two children away, I will go to your daughter's new home right away. I want to see if your capable son-in-law still wants your daughter."
She glanced at the two ragged children who started snatching things at a very young age. When they failed to grab things, they started crying and even said: I will beat you to death.
He would even call his aunt a money-loser.
In the past, I thought it was the second son and his wife who taught their two children badly, but now it seems that the root of the problem is bad.
Old Mrs. Zhou now brags every day that her new son-in-law is the leader of the factory. She really doesn't dare to let Li Xiulan go to her son-in-law's house to make trouble, for fear that her son-in-law will not want his daughter.
She was very angry: "This is your Yu family's child."
"I don't even want a son, so why do I need grandchildren?" After saying this, Li Xiulan strode past Grandma Zhou and the two children and went straight to the factory.
She thought secretly in her heart: I still don’t know whose child this is.
Father Yu closed the door and chased out without even looking at the three men.
The couple both took a half-month vacation and started packing clothes when they got home. After the eldest son's family and the third son came back, the couple talked about going back to their hometown.
Everyone was stunned; it happened too suddenly.
The third child asked: "Mom and Dad, why do you want to go back to your hometown when everything is fine?"
Yu's father's hometown is more than 2,000 kilometers away from Shangyang City. Because it is too far and requires two transfers on the way, he and his sister have never been back to their hometown. They only know that there is such a place.
My father would go back to visit my grandparents and uncles every few years, and he would also send money back to my grandparents every month.
Li Xiulan did not intend to hide the truth from her children. She slowly explained the situation: "I want to go back and ask your grandparents where your second brother is."
The Yu elder couple and the Yu elder brother were all shocked by their mother's words. Yu's wife looked at the two elders and asked cautiously, "Mom, do you suspect that grandpa and grandma have replaced my second brother?"
Li Xiulan glanced at her husband who was claiming the loss and said, "That's possible."
"No matter what, since Xiaowu is suspicious about this matter, your father and I also think her suspicion is reasonable, so we must find out the truth." As she spoke, Li Xiulan's eyes became red: "I don't want someone else's son, I only want my own child."
Everyone felt sad when they heard this, and Yu Lao San said, "I will go back with you."
Both Yu's father and Li Xiulan wanted to stop them, but Yu Lao San looked at his parents and said, "Mom and Dad, you don't have to say anything. You are emotionally unstable right now, and I am worried about you going back."
"Yes, Mom and Dad, you can let my third brother go with us, so that we can feel more at ease." The eldest brother Yu Jiaren quickly persuaded them, "Otherwise, I will take a leave to accompany you back."
Sister-in-law Zhang Chunyu nodded and said, "You should also ask for leave and go back. It will be easier to get things done with more people."
Upon hearing this, Yu's father quickly said, "The third child can go back with us. The eldest child can stay at home. You still have two children to take care of."
At night, Zhang Chunyu tossed and turned in bed and couldn't fall asleep. Yu Jiaren hugged his wife and whispered, "What's wrong with you?"
Zhang Chunyu sat up and stared at her husband: "I'm thinking about what happened today."
"No, you have to go back to the factory tomorrow morning and ask for leave, and go back with your parents." Zhang Chunyu held her husband's hand and said slowly, "We have not been in contact with the people in our hometown, and we don't know who they are. It's not enough for only the third child to accompany us back. You are the eldest brother in the family, and you must stand up at this time."
