Chapter 85 The Evil Stepmother Who Seizes the Family Property 06 Raising a Child is Hard
Qi Feng didn't want to get off the car, but was pulled down by Yan Mi.
He glanced at Yan Mi hatefully.
Walking into the alleys, Yan Mi met many relatives.
"Oh, Xiao Mi is back?"
"I heard that you became a stepmother? Is this your son?" someone said this with a look of disdain.
Everyone knows that being a stepmother is difficult these days, yet Yan Mi is still eager to be someone else's stepmother.
Qi Feng was in a bad mood. He could hate Yan Mi, but he would not allow these people to say such things about Yan Mi.
But Yan Mi didn't take it seriously at all, "Yes, this is my son. I heard that your son couldn't give birth to a son, so I'm the lucky one. I got a son for free."
After hearing what she said, the old woman's face immediately darkened. What she was most worried about now was her son. She had been married to her daughter-in-law for so many years but they didn't have a child. She went to the hospital and spent money to get a check-up, but the doctor said that her son was not able to have children.
"Your son is not your biological son. What is there to be proud of? He will not provide for you in your old age." The mother-in-law continued to be stubborn.
Yan Mi didn't want to pay attention to her. She held Qi Feng's hand and said, "Let's go, let's go see your grandpa."
This alley looks dilapidated, but there are still many people living there.
This place is completely different from the bustling outside.
Yan Mi's house was a little further inside, and it was also a shabby-looking house, but at least it had a small yard.
Qi Feng looked around curiously. He had never been here before. He raised his head and looked at Yan Mi, wondering if Yan Mi had lived in such a shabby place before.
That's really miserable.
Yan Mi knocked on the door, and a kind-looking old man came to open the door. He had a smile on his face, and when he saw Yan Mi coming back, his eyes were filled with joy. Then he looked down and saw Qi Feng.
When he saw Qi Feng, his expression turned slightly colder, and Qi Feng subconsciously felt that this grandfather seemed to dislike him.
But he doesn't care, as long as his grandma likes him.
"Come in quickly. Did you meet any relatives outside? Did they say anything to you?" asked Yan's father.
"Of course I didn't meet her. My mother-in-law even scolded me. I mocked her and she looked so unhappy." Yan Mi laughed.
Father Yan was quite helpless. "I told you to avoid them when you saw them, but you rushed over to scold them. After you left, they came to trouble me again."
"Oh, this will be hard for you, Dad, but I brought your grandson to see you today." Yan Mi called Qi Feng over, and Qi Feng stood obediently in front of Yan's father.
"This is my son, Qi Feng. You can just call him Xiaofeng. The child is not very familiar with me yet, so you have to take care of him more, Dad." Yan Mi said.
Father Yan glared at her and said, "Alright, let's all go inside."
Only then did Qi Feng follow the two adults into the house.
The decoration in the house was better than he had imagined. Qi Feng couldn't imagine that such a shabby house could be decorated so well.
The room was paved with marble slabs, the chandelier was at least several digits high, the sofa looked very high-end, and all the decorations were noble and simple.
"The family hasn't changed, Dad. This time when I come back with your grandson, you have to prepare a big meal for us." Yan Mi lay down as soon as he entered the house.
She was very familiar with this place, having lived here since she was a child. She used to be the sweetest-spoken person in the entire alley.
But all these honors are gone now, and she is no longer considered a good person in the eyes of her relatives.
"Got it. I'll make sure you have a full meal before you leave." Yan's father smiled and was not angry at all because of Yan Mi's casual attitude.
Qi Feng sat upright beside him, and he didn't dare to lie down like Yan Mi.
After all, he was not Yan Mi's biological son, so he still maintained all external etiquette towards Yan's father, a stranger.
"Dad, it's fun now that you're retired. I still have to work myself to death to take care of your grandson. Otherwise, I'll let Xiaofeng live with you and you can help take care of him for me."
Qi Feng's hair stood on end. He didn't want to live here.
"You just give these errands to me without even considering whether Xiaofeng is willing or not." Father Yan washed the fruits for them.
Qi Feng quickly shook his head, his eyes full of anger. If Yan Mi really left him here, he would definitely make a big fuss.
No one will have an easy time then.
Yan Mi had no choice but to take back what he had just said.
There weren't many ingredients left at home, so Yan Mi asked Qi Feng to go shopping with his father.
As for her, she just lay at home.
Qi Feng stuck out his tongue at her, but still followed Yan's father out.
Neither of them spoke much on the way.
It has been more than a year since Yan Mi got married, and she hasn't come back to see him. When she suddenly came back today, he thought Yan Mi was bullied, but now he saw that Yan Mi was fine.
It's just that his adopted grandson doesn't seem to like his daughter very much.
Yan's father did not force it. Every family has its own problems. As long as his son-in-law treats his daughter well, that's enough.
"Grandpa, what did you do before?" Qi Feng followed Yan's father and became more and more confused. This place looks so shabby, why does it seem like everyone here is so rich?
"As for me, I used to work for the country, but now I'm retired," said Yan's father.
Qi Feng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
It seems that Yan Mi is worthy of his father.
When Yan's father and his companions came back after buying groceries, Qi Feng chatted and laughed with Yan's father, and their relationship seemed to have become closer.
Yan Mi couldn't help but admire her father when she saw this scene. The original owner's personality might have been mostly influenced by her father, but her father knew how to behave from the bottom of his heart, while the original owner was just pretending on the surface.
A retired person like Yan's father would receive a considerable pension every month. With Qi Chen's favor, even if the original owner never worked for the rest of her life, she would not have to worry about food and clothing in the future. However, she was not satisfied and was so ambitious that she wanted to swallow an elephant, which led to her miserable end.
"We're back and bought a lot of your favorite dishes." Father Yan said at the door.
Yan Mi's thoughts were interrupted, and she quickly stood up to welcome them. She took the initiative to help Yan's father carry the ingredients in. She was also familiar with the kitchen.
Yan's father cooked by himself, while Yan Mi and Qi Feng played outside. Yan Mi asked him, "Do you know how good your grandfather is?"
"Grandpa is really nice." Yan's father also bought some of his favorite food and said he would cook it for him.
"Your grandfather had a very hard life back then, much harder than he does now. You don't know how much he sacrificed to raise me." Yan Mi said, shaking his head, as if recalling the past.
Unfortunately, she didn't continue talking, which made Qi Feng feel itchy. He wanted to ask something but didn't know how to start.
At the dinner table, their family did not have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping, so Yan Mi and his father kept chatting.
As they chatted, the two talked about Yan Mi's childhood.
"When you were born, you were so small. Your little hands grabbed my index finger and wouldn't let go no matter what I did. I had no choice but to take full care of you." Father Yan said with a smile on his face.
"I remember my family was very poor at that time. How did you raise me? I feel so sorry for you." Yan Mi said.
Father Yan shook his head. "What's there to be sorry about? Your mother and I brought you into this world, so naturally we have to treat you well. Even though it's a bit hard, seeing you grow up healthy makes me happy. It's also an explanation to your mother."
As the two chatted, Qi Feng sat on the side and listened carefully with his ears perked up.
It was just that things that happened so long ago were too unfamiliar to him. He only knew that it was a difficult time, but Yan's father never gave up on Yan Mi and always raised her with the best care.
Under Yan Mi's deliberate guidance, Qi Feng heard a lot of good words from a father about his daughter.
When Yan Mi told her father about how she was rebellious in junior high school, ran away from home, fought with others, got caught in a premature love affair, and how her father treated her, Yan Mi saw Qi Feng stunned.
"Dad, you beat me so badly at that time that I had to lie in bed for several days before I could get out of bed." Yan Mi still feels a little resentful.
"Who asked you to do those things? You don't know how panicked I was at the time. When you ran away from home, I blamed myself for not keeping an eye on you. When you fought, I also felt that I didn't educate you well. When you fell in love too early, I felt that I didn't instill the right values in you."
"Yes, parents who love their children will plan for them in the long run. Thank you, Dad, for disciplining me strictly at that time." Yan Mi said.
As she spoke, she looked to the side and found that Qi Feng had stopped eating.
"What's wrong? What else do you want to eat? I'll get it for you." Yan Mi said.
"My grandson just said he likes to eat this. Come, eat this." The two of them were so busy talking that they forgot about Qi Feng.
Father Yan thought Qi Feng was angry and immediately picked up some food for him.
"I'm full." Qi Feng raised his head and did not show anything unusual.
"How much have you eaten? Eat more." Yan's father advised him.
He looked at Yan Mi, and Yan Mi also shook his head.
Qi Feng ran to sit aside, and Yan Mi continued to eat.
The food her father cooked was super delicious, especially to her liking. Yan Mi didn't even feel sick when she smelled it.
After eating, she was still acting coquettishly behind Yan's father, "Dad, I really want to eat the food you cook all the time."
"Come back and eat if you want to. I'm not stopping you." Father Yan said with a smile.
"It's too difficult to run back. You can make some for me and I will pack it up and take it back after we finish dinner in the afternoon. Or when you are done, I will ask Qi Chen to come to your place to get it." Yan Mi thought for a moment and said.
"If you want to eat, come by yourself. Why bother your son-in-law? He is so busy." Yan's father was almost laughing at Yan Mi's anger.
"Then can you help me deliver it? Otherwise, I'll just stay at home." Yan Mi grabbed Yan's father's hand and shook it.
"If you live here, won't your son-in-law come looking for you? And Xiaofeng, at least send him back." Yan's father still thought that Yan Mi should not live here, although he also hoped that Yan Mi would come to see him more often.
"Okay, then I'll ask someone to come and get it. I'm tired of the food at home lately and don't want to eat it at all. I only want to eat the food you cook, Dad." Yan Mi said.
Father Yan nodded and said, "Tell me what you want to eat in advance, and I will prepare it for you when the time comes."
"Thank you, Dad." Yan Mi was beaming with joy, happy from the bottom of his heart.
Qi Feng felt jealous. Yan Mi was already such a grown-up but still acted like a spoiled child with his father.
He doesn't act like a spoiled brat with his dad anymore because he has grown up.
Yan Mi and Qi Feng went back home after lunch. In the afternoon, Yan Mi played with him with toys and actually developed a new way to play, which made Qi Feng very excited.
Yan Mi brought two meals, one for her to eat tomorrow and one for Qi Chen.
"Then we'll leave first. Dad, you can go back. There's no need to see me off." Yan Mi waved to his father.
"Well, come back and visit when you have time." Father Yan watched their receding backs until they disappeared into the alley, then he went home.
Yan Mi did not go home directly. She was going to buy some materials to make toys and gifts.
Qi Feng followed Yan Mi to purchase. Yan Mi bought a large bag of materials, but fortunately they were not heavy. Some materials still needed to be customized, and some could not even be customized.
Qi Feng saw that she was carrying too many things and wanted to share the burden.
Yan Mi handed him the bag, and Qi Feng almost fell down, and his ears turned red instantly.
"Let me carry it." Yan Mi stretched out his hand towards him.
Qi Feng said no, he would raise it, "I can do it myself, I can definitely raise it."
"Okay." Yan Mi wanted to train Qi Feng, so seeing him say that, he didn't interfere.
She saw that Qi Feng couldn't lift her, so she tried to carry her. When he still couldn't carry her, she tried to drag her, and then she could walk a little smoother.
The bag was not sturdy, and things fell as he walked, and Yan Mi picked them up along the way.
When Qi Feng dragged the things to the side of the car, he turned his head proudly and said, "I'm awesome, right? I can still lift this little thing. You just underestimated me."
"You are the best. Go sit in the car quickly. I'll put the things in the car." Yan Mi urged him to get in quickly.
While he was in the car and couldn't see the empty space behind him, Yan Mi stuffed all the things he had picked up behind him into the trunk.
When they returned, Qi Chen had already gone home. Knowing that they had gone shopping, he was waiting for them to come back in the living room reading a book.
