Chapter 53 Parents' Favoritism
"Have a son! Have a son!" Yang Xingzhi returned home, so angry that he kicked the basket next to him far away.
"The moment he sees me, he pressures me to have a son. I'm not an emperor, what would I do with a son? Just inherit my two dilapidated thatched huts and all that broken pots and pans!"
"Wah~" Peach, who was feeding the chicks nearby, burst into tears when she saw Yang Xingzhi get angry.
Ling Chun, who was cooking, came out of the house, hugged her daughter, and scolded her husband:
"What are you doing? You've scared Little Peach, don't you know that?!"
Yang Xingzhi quickly pulled a piece of candy from his pocket and gave it to Xiao Taozi: "Hey, it's Daddy's fault, Daddy deserves a beating. Taozi, don't cry, okay?"
He held his daughter and coaxed her repeatedly, giving her candy and rubbing her chin against her armpit, making the little peach, whose face was still wet with tears, laugh.
Yang Xingzhi wiped his daughter's face: "You're usually such a naughty little girl, why are you so timid today? Dad kicked the basket, not you, why are you crying!"
He loved Ling Chun, and this was the wife he had longed for and finally married. He cherished their daughter even more, treating her like his own lifeblood.
No matter how rare other people's boys are, none are as cute as his little Peach. The couple spoils her on weekdays, and when they go back to the Ling family home, she is pampered by Sun Yulan and Ling Guosheng. Little Peach is much naughtier than ordinary children, and you rarely hear her cry.
Ling Chun whispered, "My eldest brother's daughter, Xiao Lan, fell while carrying her younger brother today. My sister-in-law hit Xiao Lan with a mulberry branch and almost made the child faint. I couldn't stand it and stopped her. Otherwise, I was afraid she would have beaten the child to death."
She beat Xiaolan so badly that her skin was torn and bleeding all over, which terrified our little Peach!
Yang Xingzhi said irritably, "Sometimes I just can't understand how these women's brains work. They're women themselves, yet they don't even like their own daughters. Just wait and see about their third child; he'll definitely be a good-for-nothing when he grows up, I'm telling you!"
Ling Chun punched him lightly: "Alright, your older brother, sister-in-law, and your parents all treat Sanwa like their own life. Don't say things that are hard to hear, or they'll feel sorry for you for not having a son!"
Yang Xingzhi spat, "My pitiful ass! What the hell era are we living in? Still talking about how many children bring good fortune!"
Ling Chun sometimes couldn't understand Yang Xingzhi either. He grew up in the city and his ideas were very different from those of people from the countryside. What others cherished, he scoffed at.
He was very fond of his family, but others thought he was an oddball, which resulted in Yang Xingzhi having few friends in the village.
However, she was very fortunate to have met such a man who would cherish her and her daughter and would not want them to suffer the slightest grievance.
"Let's not talk about money. Even if your parents wanted to lend you some, your older brothers wouldn't agree. I'll go back to my parents' house tomorrow and ask my mom where she can borrow some!"
Yang Xingzhi was very frustrated: "Wife, when I married you, I said I would let you enjoy a life of luxury, but whenever something happens, it's always you who has to step up. I haven't kept my promise to you. I'm sorry!"
"Alright!" Ling Chun comforted him, "We're husband and wife, why say these things? Just remember how good my parents have been to you!"
The next day, when Ling Jiuyue saw her brother-in-law Yang Xingzhi come to her house, his face was very unpleasant, and she thought the couple had quarreled.
"Sis, why does my brother-in-law look so pale?"
Ling Chun sighed: "It's no wonder he can't look good. Yesterday he asked his parents for money, thinking of going to the city to do business. But his father said he wouldn't lend him any money as soon as he opened his mouth, saying that he couldn't do anything."
Last night, his second brother lost money playing cards in town. His father specially took some money and asked his sister-in-law to deliver it to someone, worried that if they were late, his second brother would suffer.
When he found out, he didn't sleep all night and even cried secretly in the middle of the night. Do you think he looked any better then?
Ling Jiuyue didn't know what to say. Yang Xingzhi's identity was really awkward. He was the Yang family's biological son, but they had never raised him in their care, so naturally they weren't as close as those who had raised him.
Outside, Ling Guosheng asked Yang Xingzhi, "Is your business reliable?"
Yang Xingzhi listened to the question, but he didn't seem very interested.
"Dad, my second sister was there when the chickens and ducks were delivered. She met the owner and even ate at his shop. She knows the most about this!"
Ling Jiuyue nodded: "Dad, don't worry, this business is quite suitable for my brother-in-law. As long as he controls the quality of the poultry, there won't be any problems!"
Ling Guosheng nodded, then turned to Sun Yulan and said, "Give all the money you've saved at home to Xiao Yang!"
Sun Yulan paused for a moment, then turned and went into the house to get a small cloth bag. She opened it layer by layer and handed it to Yang Xingzhi.
"Take it. Your father and I aren't very capable; this is all the savings we have. Don't think it's too little!"
Yang Xingzhi stared blankly at the money in his hand, seemingly lost in thought.
Ling Chun counted the money: "Xingzhi, it's 568 yuan in total. Remember to pay my mom and uncle back after you earn this money. It's not easy for them to save money, and they're getting married in September, so they still have to give it to her..."
"Waaah~" Yang Xingzhi suddenly knelt down and burst into tears:
"Dad, Mom, I swear, I will treat you as my own parents for the rest of my life, no, I will treat you even better than my own parents."
Ling Guosheng and Sun Yulan were stunned for a moment, but when they came to their senses, they quickly pulled him up.
"What are you doing making such a fuss, child? Chun'er is the eldest, and also my daughter. Of course, I just want you two to have a good life together. Whether you pay it back or not doesn't matter. As long as you two live a good life, that's more important than anything else!"
Ling Jiuyue gave Yang Xingzhi two hundred yuan: "Brother-in-law, I don't have any expenses right now, so please take this money and use it as needed!"
Yang Xingzhi felt like crying again. His biological parents treated him like an outsider, his parents-in-law treated him like their own son, and his sister-in-law treated him like her own brother. He swore that this was his real biological family.
"September, just you wait, your brother-in-law won't treat you badly. When you get married, your brother-in-law will give you and Xiao Qin a big gift!"
Sun Yulan invited the couple to stay for dinner before they went home.
Before leaving, Ling Jiuyue reminded Yang Xingzhi: "Brother-in-law, try to keep your business in the city a secret from your family. Don't let them know you're making money, and also about your cousin in the city..."
"I know!"
Yang Xingzhi was not stupid. Cao Youguang had a good relationship with his second and third uncles in the city, and he had never been particularly affectionate towards his cousin before.
When we met in town that time, I just casually mentioned, "Xingzhi, I get to decide what the unit accepts. If you have any chickens or ducks, feel free to send them over. Your uncle won't treat you badly!"
He was too naive and too eager to make money, so he didn't delve into the intricacies of the scheme and unwittingly fell for it.
Moreover, he always felt that his sister-in-law, Ling Jiuyue, seemed to have changed in some ways, and he was sure to listen to her.
Yang Xingzhi raised enough funds and brought another batch of chickens and ducks into the city, where he found Sister Song, who had previously bought their chickens and ducks.
This time, Sister Song was very enthusiastic.
"Xiao Yang, when is your younger sister, Ling Jiuyue, coming to the city? I have something I'd like to ask her for a favor!"
