Xu Huaian returned to his home after being away for two years. The house was just as his mother said. There was his room, and it was very warm.
The drawers and cabinets were filled with everything, including birthday presents prepared by my father and various items prepared by my mother.
What shocked him most was the various amulets in the drawer upon entering the door. They looked like they came from a temple. Some were very old and in disarray.
Did she really go to many temples to pray?
Xu Huaian gently picked up the red ribbon beside him, on which was written in neat regular script: I only hope that my son, although he is young and foolish, will become an official without any disaster or difficulty.
Liang Zhiqiu took it gently and said, "This is a prayer belt from the temple. I will need it in the future." With the Buddha's care, she got what she wanted most.
Xu Huaian was stunned. It turned out that in a place he didn't know, there was someone who loved him so passionately. This was enough, enough!
The depression in my heart suddenly cleared up.
Who is free here? Having been loved is enough.
In life, you never know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. Enjoy yourself and enjoy loving and being loved.
In his heart, he finally accepted Yun's mother, but rejected her proposal to come back and live with her.
On the one hand, they all have their own things to do and they deliberately get together like this.
On the other hand, he is now married, so it is best for him to live with his mother. When Gu Qinghuan comes back, they will have their own home.
Besides, he is studying now, so it is more appropriate for him to stay in school.
Liang Zhiqiu was a little disappointed, but he still respected his choice as there was still a long way to go.
Yun Run and his wife brought Xu Huaian to see Grandma Yun.
When the Yun family's grandmother knew that her grandson was found, she was also ecstatic and hugged him and cried for a long time. The pressure she had been under in these years was also great. Because of the loss of the child, her relationship with Yun Run and his wife reached a freezing point.
She placed all her hopes on Yun Nianzhou, but she received understanding from Yun Run and his wife.
After many years of separation, the family reunited and sat together for a reunion dinner.
During this meal, everyone deliberately avoided Yun Nianzhou, worried that Xu Huaian would be unhappy.
Yun Run and his wife simply felt that this was their family affair and had nothing to do with Yun Nianzhou, and they did not need his involvement.
Grandma Yun had raised Yun Nianzhou for so many years and had already developed a deep affection for him. On the one hand, she was worried that her found grandson would be at ease, but she was also worried that Yun Nianzhou would not be able to accept his own identity and would lose his temper.
Because Yun Nianzhou still knew that he was the Yun family's biological child.
Grandma Yun had been deliberately keeping it a secret from him and had protected him very well.
But the window paper will be pierced one day.
Sometimes what you fear will happen.
The family of four was having a warm meal when Yun Nianzhou suddenly came back with his wife.
Yun Run and his wife, Grandma Yun, have always lived separately. In the past, Grandma Yun brought Yun Nianzhou here, until Yun Nianzhou left. Then she lived alone, and Yun Nianzhou would come back to see her occasionally.
Yun Nianzhou looked at his mother who had suddenly returned, and the familiar man at the dinner table, with a confused look on his face.
"Dad, Mom, you guys came back to have dinner with grandma, why didn't you leave me and Qingyue? It just so happens that Qingyue made the mung bean cake that grandma likes to eat. Let's try it together at home."
Yun Nianzhou didn't realize at this moment that there was anything different at home and said happily.
Xu Huaian looked up at him, feeling complicated. He should be jealous or hate Yun Nianzhou. After all, he had been the young master of the Yun family for more than two decades and enjoyed all the honors and fine food of a young master of the Yun family.
But now he is not jealous, and even feels a little sorry for him, because it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Some things, once you have them and then lose them, you really can't let go.
Gu Qingyue also held the box in her hand and said flatteringly: "Mom, Dad, Grandma, I made mung bean cakes, let you try them."
Grandma Yun awkwardly stood up and took the mung bean cake, not knowing how to deal with the situation.
Gu Qingyue caught a glimpse of Xu Huai'an from the corner of her eyes, and suddenly a voice came out: "You...are you the country man of Gu Qinghuan? What are you doing in my house?"
After she reminded him, Yun Nianzhou realized that Xu Huaian looked familiar. He looked at them with suspicion.
Liang Zhiqiu's face darkened when she heard this. She slammed the table and stood up: "Gu Qingyue, where is your upbringing?
Qing Huan is nominally your sister. She took care of the family and raised you, but you are so rude and have no gratitude at all!
Also, what is your home, country man?
Huai'an is the real heir of our Yun family. This is his home. He can come and go as he pleases. Does he need to report to you?"
These words immediately made Yun Nianzhou and Gu Qingyue understand, and the expression on their faces was like a color palette.
"Grandma, what does my mom mean?" Yun Nianzhou was confused.
At this moment, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope. He knew that his mother had always been satisfied with him and felt that he was a good man who had helped to succeed the Yun family.
He thought they were joking and were just angry at themselves. How could an heir be chosen by just picking up anyone from the street?
Grandma Yun felt a little sorry for Yun Nianzhou, and was angry that Liang Zhiqiu spoke too directly, so she glared at her.
Can we talk about this another day? Why do we have to expose it today?
"Nianzhou, listen to grandma, your brother came into being before you," said Grandma Yun.
"Am I your only child, mom and dad? Where did my brother come from?" Yun Nianzhou accepted this statement and glared at Xu Huaian fiercely.
Xu Huaian didn't say anything, just watched everything quietly. Facing Yun Nianzhou's provocative eyes, he was also very calm.
Yun Runtong knew that some things could not be smoothed over, otherwise it would only hurt both parties, and they had to cut the Gordian knot.
If someone was destined to get hurt, it would be Huai'an. They owed this child too much.
"Nianzhou, grandma is afraid that you will feel sad because of your inferiority complex, so I have never told you that you are our Yun family's real child!"
Yun Nianzhou was completely wounded by Yun Runtong's words, and was caught off guard. Gu Qingyue was even more dumbfounded.
What does it mean? You are my biological child?
"Runtong, you...you let the child calm down and stop talking!" Grandma Yun said cruelly. After all, he was her adopted child, and her feelings for him would always be the same.
Yun Nianzhou said in a collapsed voice: "Grandma, let him talk, I will listen."
Yun Runtong didn't care about their emotions and continued, "We lost our child that year, and grandma happened to pick you up at the door and took the initiative to adopt you.
Therefore, you are the child of our Yun family.
We have found our real child, it's Huai'an. No matter what, please accept the reality.
If you can get along peacefully in the future, you will still be a member of our Yun family."
What I want to say is that if you can accept it, then it's good for him. At least he can keep someone at home who will cause trouble for his son.
"No wonder, no wonder you never care about me, no matter how hard I work, you all see it, no matter how naughty I am, you still get angry.
I was never allowed to go to the house where you lived, you never helped me to attend parent-teacher conferences, never took me out to play, and even when I was sick you never asked about it.
What is the meaning of self-rehabilitation after adulthood and taking responsibility after starting a family?
It turns out that I was born by you...haha, haha..." Yun Nianzhou seemed to be crazy.
The past came to mind, and many things that I understood in the past suddenly found a perfect explanation. It turned out that everything was because I was the biological child of the Yun family.
Liang Zhiqiu and Yun Runtong looked at each other, a trace of guilt flashed across their eyes, but it quickly disappeared. Compared with the hardships Xu Huaian had endured over the years, what was this for him?
"You have been a young master in the Yun family for more than two decades, enjoying the best of everything.
We don't think we have done anything wrong to you, and we have given you everything we deserve." Liang Zhiqiu felt that he should be content.
Yun Nianzhou pushed the mung bean cakes on the table to the ground like a madman, scattering them all over the floor, and then ran away.
Gu Qingyue quickly followed.
"Nian Zhou..." Grandma Yun also wanted to chase.
"Mom, if you go, our family of three will never come back to this home again in the future. I'll give you and him some space." Yun Runtong said the most ruthless words in the calmest tone.
Yun Runtong was already very happy with what Grandma Yun had done the previous day. He knew how Huai'an would feel when he saw his grandmother so indifferent to his concern for outsiders.
The child should have been very happy to have his first meal with the family after returning home, but it turned out like this.
Upon hearing this, Grandma Yun retracted her legs that were about to move away. She still knew what was more important. She had raised the child for many years and entrusted her grandson with her love, so naturally she was willing to let go.
"Runtong, you can't send Zhou Zhou away just because your child is back. We have raised him for so many years and we have feelings for him."
"You insisted on raising me. I didn't agree at first!
Look at him, what have you done to him? He has such a bad temper.
Did we catch up with him? He was the one who could handle everything on his own.
I tell you, if you don't go find him, he will come back on his own, and from now on we will pretend that we have never raised this man!" Yun Runtong was burning with anger.
Seeing how angry he was, Grandma Yun didn't dare to say anything more.
Liang Zhiqiu hurried to ease the situation and picked up some food for Xu Huaian: "Huaian, I'm sorry, it's my first time coming back for dinner and it turned out like this."
Xu Huaian was not actually angry. Instead, he felt a little excited. He was very touched by the protection from Yunrun and his wife. For the first time in his life, he felt protected by his mother.
Even if he said something, someone would help him charge forward.
Although it may be because he wants to make up for the lack of many years, this attitude is fine and he is very satisfied.
It’s true that grandma seems to protect Yun Nianzhou, but it doesn’t matter. He has money, and maybe everyone likes him.
