Chapter 169 He has a wife and children!
The people who were drinking sweet soup in the front hall heard cursing coming from the backyard.
The voice sounded like Yang's uncle's voice.
Yang Lingyi ran out with concern, and her parents also rushed out to see what was happening. Mao Mao was holding a small bowl and was concentrating on drinking soup with a small spoon. The second aunt glanced at her and simply carried her out with the bowl.
She had a premonition that something big must have happened.
Upon reaching the backyard, they saw Uncle Yang wielding a wooden washing mallet, chasing after his grandson, Xuan, as if to hit him. The two ran around the backyard, and after only a few laps, Uncle Yang was panting heavily.
"Dad?" Yang Lingyi quickly stepped forward to stop him: "What's going on? Why did you suddenly hit Zixuan?"
Sun Zixuan hadn't even finished putting on his clothes, the buttons were crooked and messy, and he was being chased around by Uncle Yang in a very disheveled state.
Uncle Yang's round, chubby face glared angrily: "Lingyi, get out of the way! I'm going to break his legs today!"
Sun Zixuan, hiding behind his girlfriend, shouted, "Uncle, listen to me, I can explain this!"
"What are you explaining!" Uncle Yang pointed at him with a wooden mallet: "Tell me, what are you explaining? It's written in black and white, I can see it clearly. It's a letter written by your family members themselves, how could it be fake?"
"Dad, Zixuan?" Yang Lingyi was completely confused. "What letter? What's going on?"
Sun Zixuan immediately said, "Your father opened the letters sent from my home without my permission."
Yang Lingyi immediately turned her head: "Dad, how could you do this?"
It turns out that the response wasn't agreement, but opposition.
Uncle Yang made a quick decision: "Fine! It was wrong of me to open his letter, and I apologize to him! But I'm glad I did. Lingyi, do you know what I saw in the letter? That scoundrel, he's already married and had children back in his hometown!"
"What?!"
These words immediately shocked everyone.
Not only Mr. and Mrs. Yang, but even the second concubine, who had been mentally prepared, gasped in surprise. She quickly lowered her head and looked at Mao Mao, who was holding a small bowl and intently drinking sweet soup.
The second concubine kissed the top of her head and pricked up her ears to listen.
She knew it! Their Mao Mao is a lucky star; if Mao Mao doesn't speak well, there must be something wrong!
Fortunately, before my niece could even discuss marriage, I discovered something was wrong.
On the field, Yang Lingyi felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck her from the top of her head.
She withdrew her hand from in front of her boyfriend and turned around in disbelief: "Zixuan, is what my dad said true? You're already married and have children back in our hometown?"
Sun Zixuan quickly said, "Lingyi, I can explain this matter."
Yang Lingyi: "Okay, explain it to me."
Mr. and Mrs. Yang also rushed over to their son and granddaughter, standing behind them to support them.
Faced with the angry questions from several people, Sun Zixuan was not ashamed: "Yes, I have already married a wife in my hometown. However, this marriage was not something I wanted to do. It was an arranged marriage by my family."
Yang Lingyi: "Arranged marriage?"
“My parents are traditional people who haven’t accepted progressive new ideas. They’ve planned my future for me. Originally, they wanted me to stay in our hometown and inherit the family business, but that’s not what I wanted. So, I got into university through my own efforts and studied literature, which I love.” Sun Zixuan said, “Lingyi, you know all this.”
Yang Lingyi nodded: "Yes, I've heard you mention it."
She also praised Sun Zixuan's ideas and supported his choice of the freedom he wanted.
“When I was admitted to university, my parents disagreed with my studying far away from home. So, they arranged a marriage for me, trying to tie me to their side,” Sun Zixuan said indignantly. “That woman was illiterate and as old-fashioned and traditional as my parents. I had never met her before, and we had nothing in common. I absolutely disagreed! The partner I want is someone who can discuss literature and philosophy with me, someone who shares my ideals, and someone I can strive for together!”
Sun Zixuan said, "Just like you."
Yang Lingyi nodded gently again: "Oh."
The second concubine looked at her with a puzzled expression and said, "You talked a good game, but you still married her, didn't you?"
Sun Zixuan declared righteously, "I don't want to sever ties with my parents, and I've tried to persuade them with all my heart, but they forcibly dragged me into the bridal chamber. It was my parents who forced me; it was absolutely not my own will!"
Uncle Yang let out a heavy "Ha!": "You say it's not your personal wish! But you still have two children!"
Not one, but two!
Sun Zixuan was studying far away in Haicheng and could only return to his hometown during holidays each year. During those few holidays, he fathered two children with a woman he didn't want to marry!
They had one, and now they have another!
According to his family letter, the younger one had just learned to walk.
Sun Zixuan said righteously, "This is also to give my parents an explanation. They want to continue their lineage and force me to keep the child."
Yang's mother was so angry that her head was throbbing: "Why didn't you say something like this sooner?!"
Yang Lingyi's beautiful face was now extremely cold as she stared at him coldly: "You plan to keep this from me forever. When are you going to give me an explanation?"
Sun Zixuan lowered his head in shame: "It was indeed my fault in this matter. I shouldn't have kept it from you. Those are the dregs of the old era. I have already made up my mind to sever ties with my hometown and will never associate with them again. Lingyi, I will stay in Haicheng and spend the rest of my life with you."
Yang Lingyi: "I've known you for so long, and you've never mentioned to me that you have a wife and children back in your hometown."
Sun Zixuan: "Alas, I find it really difficult to say this. However, I will tell you about it sooner or later."
Yang Lingyi: "Today I brought you home to meet my father and grandparents because I wanted to talk to you about marriage. You must know my plans, but you're still hiding it from me."
Sun Zixuan: "Lingyi, I am truly ashamed and I have really let you down."
Yang Lingyi raised her chin: "You keep saying that those things are the dregs of the old era. Fine, now, I'm going to discard you, this dregs!"
Sun Zixuan: "What?!"
Before he could react, Uncle Yang raised the wooden hammer high in his hand.
"roll!"
Uncle Yang used his fat body to chase and beat him: "Get out! Don't you dare come to our house again! Don't you dare look for my Lingyi again!"
Before Sun Zixuan could say anything more in his defense, he was chased and forced to run away with his head in his hands: "Uncle, Lingyi, have you heard what I've done..."
Before he could even speak, Yang's father, who had joined in, struck him on the back with a stick. Yang's mother threw his dirty clothes, the letter from home, and the gifts he had brought out the door. With a bang, the door slammed shut in front of him.
"Lingyi? Lingyi! Open the door and let me explain!"
Sun Zixuan banged on the door and shouted.
But instead of getting the Yang family to open the door, he attracted the attention of the neighbors. He barely managed to call out a few times before his face turned red with embarrassment from their stares, and he had no choice but to pick up his letter and slink away.
"How could there be such a person!"
Mother Yang was so angry that she kept wiping her eyes: "I thought he was a good person. I almost, almost let Lingyi marry him!"
It's infuriating just thinking about it!
Back home, his wife stayed at home to take care of him and raise their two children diligently. She had no idea that her husband, whom she had married, had a new girlfriend in Haicheng.
His girlfriend in Haicheng was unaware that her boyfriend had already had children with another woman back in his hometown.
If it weren't for the unexpected discovery of his family letter today, neither Yang Lingyi nor Sun Zixuan's wife and children back home would have been kept in the dark, completely fooled by Sun Zixuan.
She claimed to have been unwilling and forced to have two children with her husband. Despite having children, she showed no sense of responsibility and severed ties with her hometown after becoming independent.
He got all the benefits, and he still has the nerve to say that he was forced into it!
If it weren't for today's unexpected event, how heartbroken and sad would Yang Lingyi have been if she had only found out about these things after she had actually married Sun Zixuan?
Yang's mother kept wiping away tears.
Yang Lingyi reassured her, "Grandma, it's alright. It's not worth getting angry over someone like that. Luckily, we found out early, and I had time to see his true colors."
“That’s right, that’s right.” Uncle Yang nodded repeatedly: “Luckily we found out early! It’s truly a blessing from heaven that Lingyi wasn’t sent into a fire pit.”
After watching this farce, the second concubine breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, thank goodness!
She said that Mao Mao is a lucky star, and if Mao Mao says anything bad, there must be a problem!
If it weren't for this accident, who would have thought that a seemingly respectable college student would have such a distressing past?
That bowl of sweet soup was a good thing to splash; why didn't it get splashed on his head?
Mao Mao gulped down the sweet soup.
She even scraped all the toppings from the sweet soup clean with a spoon.
Fearing she would overeat, the second concubine gave her an extra-small bowl, several sizes smaller than a regular bowl, leaving Mao Mao wanting more.
She smacked her lips and patted her round little belly.
"Third Auntie." Mao Mao raised her head with bright eyes, held up her little hand, gestured a small distance, and looked at her expectantly: "Mao Mao can eat a little more."
The second aunt patted her head: "Okay, Mom will serve you some more."
They've done great things, so eat, eat more!
