Chapter 324 Causes and Consequences
Looking at the files in his hands and the people in the photos, Mr. Qian's thoughts seemed to go back to the past.
Let’s go back fifty years.
The 15th year of the Republic of China.
Mr. Qian’s real name is Qian Sinian, which is taken from the Book of Songs·Da Ya·Xia Wu: According to this, I will follow the footsteps of my ancestors and receive the blessings of heaven for thousands of years.
It was a tragic and passionate era of turmoil and constant movement.
Qian Sinian's ancestors were Huizhou merchants. By his generation, the business was gone, the family was sparsely populated, and they were no longer as prosperous as before.
The family lived by pawning their ancestral property.
As the only male in the family, Qian Sinian enjoyed all the support and graduated from National Chung-Yin University.
After completing his studies, he returned home to fulfill his promise to marry his childhood sweetheart, Liu, and lived a dull life for a few months. How could Qian Sinian, who had already been accustomed to the outside world, be willing to be an idle person in his hometown?
The following year, he returned to Shanghai and, on the recommendation of a good friend, went to work as a clerk in the Songhu Commercial Port Supervisory Office, where he met Zhong Bijun, the daughter of the supervisor at the time.
The two were of similar age and had similar ideas. They secretly fell in love and expressed their love with a jade pendant. They later fell in love and got married. The following year, they gave birth to a son. They named him Qian Youbang according to the order of birth in the family, and his nickname was Lulu.
Qian Sinian sent letters back to his hometown many times, asking his original wife Liu to remarry and pursue her own happiness.
Liu was a conservative woman from the old feudal era. Naturally, she did not want to divorce and agreed to Qian Sinian's remarriage. She was willing to serve her mother-in-law in her hometown just to have a place to stay, and she would not ask about or interfere with his new life.
Qian Sinian sent money back to his hometown on time every month and went back once every two years. He took care of her as a relative and had no idea that Liu had already given birth to a son for him without telling him.
After several years, the world situation became tense and war broke out. Qian Sinian gave up his studies and joined the party army, making a name for himself. With the help of his father-in-law's family, it was no problem for him to rise to power.
Qian Sinian had long seen through the situation, and for the safety of his beloved and his son, he arranged for his father-in-law and his family to live in a port city under the colony, leaving them a way out.
With such deep love for each other, Zhong Bijun could not bear to let her husband face the battle alone, so she resolutely chose to stay and accompany her husband.
Ten years passed like this. In the middle of the war, the situation was looking like a long-lasting defeat. In order to protect his mother from being affected, Qian Sinian prepared to send his people from his hometown to the port.
It was only then that Zhong Bijun discovered that the widowed sister with two children that Qian Sinian had been talking about for so many years turned out to be his original wife.
Grief, anger, humiliation and embarrassment, the deception of her beloved trampled underfoot Zhong Bijun's feelings of all these years and crushed them into the mud.
Although she was a woman, she also had pride. Thinking back on the clothes and jewelry she had prepared for her sister over the years, Zhong Bijun was heartbroken and disappointed and decided to divorce Qian Sinian decisively. Fearing that he would continue to pester her, she announced the matter in the newspaper.
After the divorce, Zhong Bijun took her only son back to her old home, and they never saw each other again.
It was not until the end of the war that the mother and son left the mainland with their daughter-in-law's family.
We are separated by distance and will never meet again.
…
When Mr. Qian looked at the person in the photo who looked 60% to 70% like his son, he couldn't help but have more guesses in his mind.
But looking at all his files, how could a child from a country family have any connection with his Youbang?
For fear of missing out, Mr. Qian stopped the secret actions. Given his similar appearance to his son, he couldn't bring himself to do anything cruel.
A photo of two people can invisibly help the people in the photo avoid trouble.
After the Hundred Days Banquet.
Zhao Sheng drove back to Ze County with his wife, children and his cousin's family.
When she arrived at Lihua Alley and saw Aunt Sun, Lin Yiyi felt like she had seen the savior.
Being able to take care of two little ones' eating, drinking, defecating and urinating at the same time is simply the ceiling in the parenting world.
In the car, the two guys howled all the way and insisted on being held in someone's arms to look at the scenery outside the window, and refused to lie in the basket.
But he didn't let her hug him and instead "fought" with her.
Since Zhao Sheng had to drive, his cousin and his wife had to hold one child each in the back car.
Thank you for your hard work.
For dinner, Lin Yiyi cooked fish ball noodles.
The soup base made from fish heads and bones, paired with fresh wild vegetables and spicy pickles, is fresh, salty and fragrant.
The live fish were caught by Damao and Ermao at Duck Lake.
It’s not easy to buy a lively fish in the city. Most of the fish you find are dead and asleep.
There were too many people and the fish balls were limited, so Lin Yiyi shared all the fish balls in her bowl with the man, knowing that he loved them. It had been almost a year since she last made fish balls for him.
"Eat more. I don't know where I can find live fish next time."
After saying that, she leaned close to the man's ear. Feeling a little guilty, Lin Yiyi whispered stealthily.
"Their fish balls are mixed with vegetable fillings, and the ones in your bowl are solid."
Zhao Sheng didn't look up, his expression unchanged as he ate the noodles and fish balls in the bowl as usual, but there was a hint of pride and joy in his eyes.
His wife is such a loser, she's so petty even with a little fish ball.
A table full of people were having dinner, and the couple were whispering to each other with their heads close together.
Everyone sees through it but doesn't say it out loud.
The white noodles are so delicious, and paired with fresh wild vegetables and fish soup, it is so delicious that you almost bite off your tongue.
Da Mao and Er Mao looked at each other and whispered a few words.
"There are so many fish balls in Second Uncle's bowl. I don't know if I can finish them all."
"Look under the table, Uncle is holding hands with Aunt, no wonder he eats noodles with his left hand."
Children speak without restraint, and their mother Tian Meiling knocked on the edge of the bowl with two chopsticks.
Lin Yiyi pulled her hand back, but didn't move it away. The man held on to it tightly and didn't let go. She could only look shy and felt even more embarrassed.
The words "shame" and "restraint" don't exist in this guy's life dictionary. He just does whatever he wants based on his own preferences.
After dinner.
My cousin's wife cleared the table, Da Mao and Er Mao helped, and Aunt Sun went back to the room to feed the twins.
Lin Yiyi followed Zhao Sheng to the bathhouse. After washing up, she returned home and pestered the man to look at the stars for a while.
The night makes the whole city quiet.
The world of small animals begins, it is noisy and noisy, but it does not make people feel annoying, but rather adds a bit of peace and comfort.
This is what Japan should look like in summer.
Lin Yiyi had been holding back her doubts for a whole day, and now she finally had the chance to speak them out.
She pushed the man who was about to get in bed and cling to her, and said shyly, "When you named the little one, you already had a crush on me?"
It almost means that I have a secret crush on you.
Zhao Sheng kissed her, smiled, and asked, "Weren't you mesmerized the first time you saw me?"
She was really stupid, realizing it only now, but when would she be able to respond to his love?
She has always been proactive, bold and straightforward, so why is she so timid about this?
Lin Yiyi choked: “…” Pah.
He used to take the lies I told him seriously.
Why is he so annoying? He doesn't even want to take the initiative verbally, but has to wait for the girl to confess to him first?
At this time, a man's domineering and bad temper is particularly annoying.
Lin Yiyi felt as if she was scratched by a cat, causing a tingling sensation in her heart, but some men just couldn't move a woman's heart at all.
The subtle gap between men and women.
They both understand each other's thoughts, but they just want the other party to take the initiative, as if this is the only way to gain the upper hand in the relationship.
Lin Yiyi knew that if she took the initiative to confess her feelings, this man would brag about how she had been in love with him for many years wherever he went.
A person who likes to show off.
She could already imagine how Zhao Sheng would brag about the little guy when he grew up.
Forget it, let him go for once. She definitely can’t outlast him in terms of patience.
"You read your son's name backwards."
"Lin admires Zhao?" The man clicked his tongue, looking proud that he had known for a long time that he was admired by someone.
Zhao Sheng smiled, his tone serious and solemn, "As expected, you have been plotting against me from the beginning, you have been planning for a long time, and you love me deeply."
Lin Yiyi looked at the crazy man and secretly rolled her eyes in her heart.
Seeing that he was about to make up something, Lin Yiyi covered his mouth, smiled awkwardly and said gently: "Okay, let's go to sleep, dear."
