Chapter 44 Xie Zhiyan's son vows to be his sworn enemy.

“That’s not true at all, brother! Dad is a very good person. Others may not know the situation, but you can’t misunderstand Dad like that. We are all Dad’s children, we are good children, so Dad is a good dad too.”

Seeing that the two children were about to start arguing, Shu Ying was at her wit's end.

She took a tissue from the side and wiped Yueyue's tears: "Okay, Yueyue, your brother was just joking with you. You two are the closest people in the world. You can't be angry with your brother like this."

Yueyue has a gentle personality, so Shuying pulled Yangyang into her arms again.

This child is stubborn; if he hadn't spoken up today, she wouldn't have known he was carrying so much emotion.

"Yangyang, do you have such a big problem with your father? Is it because your great-uncle's family said something to you?"

Yangyang turned his head away. Although he didn't say anything, Shuying had already guessed it.

“Although your great-uncle is family with us, he’s not entirely family. They don’t want us to be happy. Yangyang is such a smart child, he must be able to sense their malice, right?”

Yangyang nodded, and Shuying coaxed her gently, "Can we believe what they say?"

Yangyang is quick-witted. His great-uncle's family always targeted them, and his mother suffered a lot of grievances because of this.

He instantly understood and gently took Yueyue's hand.

"Little sister, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you, Mom. I made you angry. Although I realize my mistake, I will not forgive Dad."

His puffed-up little face was like a steamed bun: "When my grandparents were still alive, they told us that we must be good to our mother. Our mother suffered a lot when she gave birth to us, but our father wasn't there when she was going through so much hardship."

Yangyang couldn't understand why everyone else's family was together, but they couldn't be with their father.

They can ignore what those people say, and even their best friends will laugh at them.

Is it shameful to not have a father?

If Dad really likes them, why does he never even glance at them?

He's a big kid now, so he doesn't need anyone's protection anymore.

But even if his father comes now, he won't forgive him.

“Dad should protect Mom. Grandma said that the situation was very dangerous when you gave birth to us, but Fanfan said that when her mother gave birth to her, her father was waiting outside the whole time. Mom and her sister are both little girls, how could they be left without anyone to protect them?”

Yangyang had accumulated a lot of grievances in her heart.

When he mentioned his maternal grandparents, Shu Ying couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat.

Yangyang crossed his arms, his little face like a fully inflated balloon, and his pouting lips could hold an oil bottle.

“Our Yangyang is a little man. He already knows how to protect his sister and mom. I feel so happy to have such a brave son like you.”

Yangyang secretly turned her head and glanced at Shuying. Having received praise, she couldn't help but raise her head even higher.

Shu Ying was amused by the little guy's little thoughts. She tapped his nose with her slender finger and said, "Your father hasn't contacted us all these years because he's not only protecting our country, but also earning money to support the family. Otherwise, how would you and your sister have meat to eat?"

She glanced at Yueyue's clothes and an idea came to her.

"Actually, Mom has never told you that the clothes you wear are made with money sent by Dad. Look at other children's families, even though their fathers are around, they can't eat and wear new clothes every day, right?"

Yangyang's eyes darted around; what her mother said seemed to make some sense.

Even children from well-off families don't get new clothes every day.

There are two children in their family, him and his sister. If their father doesn't go out to earn money, they will indeed go hungry.

“When you and your sister get older, you’ll need to go to school. You’ll need money for school, clothes, food, and everything else. Our Shu family isn’t what it used to be. Now, your father has to earn more so that when he gets old, all these burdens will fall on your shoulders.”

Shu Ying squeezed his short, chubby little hand: "Mom will take you to find Dad in the next couple of days. Then our family will never be separated again. Mom can promise you that when you see Dad, you will really like him."

Yangyang's bright eyes darted around, and he snorted, "I don't believe it. Although he does work very hard, has he not had a single day off in all these years? I've never seen him. Even if he likes me, I won't like him."

After saying that, he glanced at Shu Ying again, seemingly waiting for her to say a few more nice words to change his mind.

Shu Ying saw through his little scheme: "Then you'd better not regret it later."

Yangyang raised his chin even higher: "I definitely won't regret it, little sister. Anyway, I'm going to be at odds with Dad. When the showdown between us men begins, who will you choose? Me or Dad? You can only choose one. Tell me now."

His soft, childlike voice also carried a hint of menacing danger.

Yueyue was dumbfounded: "Huh? Brother, what is a duel between men?"

Why can't she understand what her brother is saying?

Yangyang waved his hand dismissively, not really understanding either.

"Anyway, well, that's not important. Yueyue, just tell me who you choose?"

Shu Ying couldn't help but chuckle. The two children hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so she went to the kitchen. There was still some chicken soup left over from yesterday. A bowl of chicken soup noodles in the morning was the most comforting thing.

Shu Ying worked quickly, putting the noodles into the chicken soup and frying a few eggs, the aroma wafting from the kitchen.

A short while later, Shu Ying came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of noodles.

"Alright, alright, you two stop arguing. Come on and eat breakfast first. Mom has to go do something else later. Be good."

Seeing the delicious food, the two children's mouths watered.

Yangyang has been eating a lot lately, and he ran towards Shuying.

"Mom's noodles are the most delicious, and the eggs are so tasty too. Mom, you should eat some too."

Although Yangyang is a boy, he is more thoughtful. Watching the two children eat so heartily, Shuying felt a sense of satisfaction.

"There's plenty left in the kitchen. Mom will eat it herself. You all eat quickly."

Her gaze fell on Yangyang. Although the little guy was only a few years old, his features already resembled Xie Zhiyan's.

He resisted Xie Zhiyan so much, yet of his two children, he was the one who resembled Xie Zhiyan the most.
