Mrs. Wang stood alone in the courtyard and glanced at each room. She thought that after a few days when she had a son, Pei Silang would separate the family. You can live your own life without disturbing anyone.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang unconsciously touched her lower abdomen. She had been married to the Pei family for two years, and her third wife had babies in her belly, but there was still no movement in her belly.
Reluctantly, he turned around and went back to the house, changed into a pair of patched clothes, and followed his sisters-in-law towards the agreed-upon wasteland.
Xiaoxi Village is proceeding in an orderly manner, whether it is clearing land for Ji Qingyao's family or building walls.
Dahe Village Jijia
Ji Yunyuan has been home for a few days. He had been lying in the house due to illness. Today, he feels that his health is no longer serious. He sits under a tree in the courtyard and reads a book and takes a nap.
"Yuan'er, you are in good health. Go back to your room and have a good rest. In a few days, you will leave for Fucheng to take the scientific examination." When Ji Xiuwen came back, he saw his eldest son leaning on the recliner and taking a nap.
Ji Yunyuan has been waiting for when Ji Xiuwen will find out that Ji Qingyao is missing, but he is disappointed. Today is the fourth day. Ji Xiuwen goes home every day. When he comes back, he scans the house but never asks about Ji Qingyao. thing.
"Dad, you haven't seen Qingyao for a few days." Ji Xiuwen stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at his home suspiciously.
"Mom is not at home. She went to town with her eldest sister, second sister and younger brother."
"Oh, since they went to town, we won't be able to see them when they come back in the evening." Ji Xiuwen raised his feet and continued walking forward.
He came home to pick up a book. He didn't expect to see his eldest son in the courtyard, nor did he expect to hear his eldest son asking him about Ji Qingyao. His heart is complicated for Ji Qingyao, his daughter, with love and hatred, so for so many years, he has taken care of her and ignored Ji Qingyao.
"Dad, how much do you care about Qingyao that you choose to ignore my words? I just said that my mother took the eldest sister, the second sister and the younger brother to the town. I didn't say that the third sister also went with her. After all these years When have you ever seen my mother take her third sister to town? Haha, she is not your daughter, why do you care?"
"Even if you don't regard her as a daughter, why did you take her back? Aren't you afraid that her parents would know what you did and it would be heartbreaking? Aren't you afraid that her parents would know that she is living in our house? Doesn’t it hurt that you are living in a precarious situation? Aren’t you afraid that others will say that you are entrusted to an unworthy person?”
"When did I not treat Qingyao as a daughter? She is my daughter. Although my father has not cared about her in all these years, he has never lacked her food and clothing. What does she have to complain about?"
As soon as Ji Xiuwen shouted these words, Ji Yunyuan was stunned on the spot. He heard something. His father said Qingyao was his daughter. Was this to comfort him or to prevent walls from having ears?
Ji Xiuwen lowered his voice, "Although Qingyao and you are not from the same mother, she still has father's blood flowing in her body. Although I have not cared about her in these years, I have never treated her harshly. Your mother also treats her with dignity." If it has already happened, do you know how sad your mother will be if she hears what you just said?"
"Dad, you just said that Qingyao is your daughter, can you swear to God?" Ji Yunyuan felt that his brain was not working right now. He clearly heard that Qingyao was not his father's daughter, so why did his father say this now? He and Qingyao are half-brothers and sisters.
Ji Yunyuan felt cold in his hands and feet and did not want to believe that this was true.
"Yuan'er, what did you hear? No matter what you heard outside, there is no doubt that Qingyao is my father's daughter. All the children of my Ji family will have a red mole on their bodies after they are born, but the position of each one is different. That’s all”
Ji Xiuwen didn't know why his son was so abnormal, but it was related to his family background, and he didn't want everyone to make a fuss, so he pulled his eldest son, who looked stupid and stupid, into the study.
A cup of herbal tea was poured into Ji Yunyuan's face: "Yuan'er, you are my father's eldest son. My father will never be in officialdom in this life, but you are different. You have a bright future. It is not impossible to become a marquis or prime minister in the future. Dad hopes that you Don't be influenced by the outside world, the scientific examination is the only thing you have to do now."
"Dad, did you know that Qingyao was sold by her mother?" These words were like a thunderbolt from the blue, making Ji Xiuwen freeze on the spot.
Since he hadn't seen his daughter these days, he thought Ji Qingyao had gone into the mountains. This daughter had always gone to the mountains after learning how to hunt. The time in the mountains could be as short as one or two days and as long as five or six days. He was already used to it.
If Ji Qingyao was not born to that woman, he thought he would cherish this daughter very much because she was smart and tenacious, something that could not be seen in his twin daughters.
But the smartest daughter was born to the woman who made him love and hate him at the same time. His father-daughter feelings for Ji Qingyao had long since disappeared in the years of hatred for that woman.
