Chapter 245 – My Daughter Will Not Sacrifice Everything For Her Younger Brother (part 17)

Li Su thought that if he could not wait for her, Father Zhang would give up.

She didn't expect that this old man would be so stubborn. He stubbornly waited at the gate of the community for more than ten days.

Li Su and Zhang Yao's vacation was almost over and the old man was still standing at the gate of the community. This shamelessness level was really beyond Li Su's expectations.

This old man was obviously trying to rely on her!

But Li Su didn't plan to admit defeat. They would see who was tougher.

Li Su talked to Zhang Yao and analysed the current situation. After discussing it, the two decided that they couldn't go back and live as usual because of these people's influence on their lives.

As long as their hearts were strong enough, nothing could affect them!

Zhang Yao also joked, "Grandpa didn't like me since I was a child and he rarely looked at me. Even if I ended up face to face with me, he would not recognise me."

Li Su smiled. "That's because he has eyes but can't differentiate between jade and gold!"

Although Zhang Yao didn't know what that sentence meant, but what she heard about gold and jade was that they were very valuable. Her mother meant that in her mother's heart, she was as precious as gold and jade!

"Mum is right."

After Li Su's mother and daughter talked, they bought a return ticket and went home in the early hours of the morning.

Early the next morning, Zhang Yao still went to school by herself. When she was at the gate of the community, she subconsciously stopped and looked around. She found that person.

Father Zhang bought a foam mattress and spread it under the big tree at the gate of the community. The grandson was lying on it, watching cartoons, and there were some snacks and drinks beside them. Father Zhang sat next to his grandson and fanned his grandson, afraid that he would get too hot.

Zhang Yao stood and watched for a while. Father Zhang noticed something, looked up at her, and then looked back at his grandson. "Bao'er, are you thirsty? Grandpa will cut an apple for you to eat!"

"No, no, I want to drink Cola!" The child kept his eyes fixed on the screen of the cell phone.

"Okay, you can have Cola. Grandpa will pour it for you!" Father Zhang quickly poured some Cola, brought it to his grandson's mouth, and fed him.

Zhang Yao stood and watched for a while, expressionless. She then turned and walked away without stopping. She had long known that this would be the case, so why was it still a little uncomfortable in her heart? He didn't like her. He didn't even have her in his heart. It didn't matter. It was enough for her to have a mother!

Li Su had stayed at home to write. Thanks to the almighty internet, she could buy everything online. Staying at home would not affect her life.

Father Zhang was stationed outside the community for several days. During this period, the security guards called the police several times, but the police couldn't do anything. The old man was very stubborn.

It also attracted a lot of reporters and the like.

A so-called family emotional mediation program even interviewed Father Zhang. They wanted to invite them on the show to mediate. Father Zhang wanted to use the public to pressure Li Su to submit, so he agreed. He even distorted the facts and added fuel to it.

The columnists also found Li Su's contact information in various ways.

As soon as the call was connected, the columnists stated their intention. Li Su couldn't help but roll her eyes. "Okay, I understand what you mean. But I don't think there is anything to mediate? You guys should already know, right? That child has a father, a mother, a grandfather, and a grandmother. Why should I raise him? As for the old man, I have already divorced his son. What is stipulated by the law and what is stipulated by you? Don't tell me anything like having a conscience. If you have a conscience, then you do it!"

After speaking, Li Su hung up the phone without hesitation. She then blocked them! Damn, she hated this kind of sanctimonious person the most, who stood and talked without doing a single thing!

The columnists wanted to come and interview her, but they were stopped by the conscientious security guards at the gate of the community. Non-property owners of the community were not allowed to enter. Oh, they said that they have relatives living in the community? Fine, what were their names, phone number, and address so the other party could call the security room themselves. If it was convenient, then they could come over to sign and confirm this relationship.

The columnists hit a wall and wanted to find someone who had a good relationship with Li Su to persuade her. Unfortunately, they couldn't find anyone after searching around. After trying to find Li Su's former colleagues, they heard completely different facts from what Father Zhang said.

After listening to the columnists, they were a little speechless. They finally understood why Li Su had such an attitude. This family was really…

After a meeting in the group to discuss, the topic was abandoned.

Father Zhang waited for a few days. Seeing that there was no movement, he took the initiative to call the columnists, but the other party didn't answer his call at all.

However, Father Zhang got inspiration from this incident. He began to call various media to tell them what happened to him.

Because of this, it caused a lot of storms on the internet. It attracted a lot of people to discuss the matter.

However, Li Su never looked at these things, so it couldn't affect her. Zhang Yao went home at two o'clock every day, and she had not been affected.

Li Su thought this would be a prolonged battle, but one day, Father Zhang suddenly disappeared.

The security guard told Li Su right away. Li Su was afraid that the old guy would be hard-to-find, and waited for two more days before she was sure that Father Zhang had really left.

Li Su still wondered what was happening. Father Zhang made it clear that he was going to fight her for a long time. How could he just leave?! Unless Zhang Wei had appeared.

In fact, Li Su guessed right.

That day, Father Zhang suddenly received a strange call. He thought it was a reporter, but just as he cleared his throat and was about to speak, he heard a familiar voice on the other end of the phone.

"Dad, don't make trouble anymore. I'm in Little An's hometown, Q city now. Come over here quickly with the child. I have discussed this with Little An. Little An said that she will look after Bao'er like he is her own son. Oh, you don't know yet, right? Little An is pregnant and the doctor said it is a son. Dad, you have another grandson! In the future, our family will live here peacefully. "

When Father Zhang heard his son's voice, he wanted to scold him and asked him why he was having a good time while he had to struggle so much! But, he swallowed his words. He heard that the woman was pregnant with a son. The woman was also willing to accept Bao'er. Father Zhang was moved. "You, you…! What is so good about you?! It might be a good thing, but you caused so much trouble!"

"Dad, you don't understand. Little An is a good girl. I can't make it up to her."

"Can't you talk to Qi Ya? The two of you parted without hard feelings, so why do you have to do this?" Father Zhang said in a low voice.

"Dad, are you stupid? I don't have a cent from the clothing store and half of the house was hers. Why should I?! Did you know that Qi Ya used the house mortgage for a hundred thousand yuan loan? If I talk to her, I will have to share the debt with her. Aren't things fine the way they are now? I have already bought a new house here. The prices here are low, and the house is more than 140 sqm. There are four bedrooms and two living rooms. Little An's mother lives with us and someone helps to take care of the children. It is wonderful!" Zhang Wei said over the phone.

Father Zhang was persuaded. "Okay, I see."

That afternoon, Father Zhang packed up and left with his grandson.

After confirming that Father Zhang was gone, Li Su began to think about changing the house. Father Zhang was gone now, but she was not sure if Father Zhang would come running back. This was a society ruled by law and did not advocate violence to solve problems. So Li Su repeatedly endured it.

Li Su had no plans to sell the house she lived in now. It could be rented out. Rent was also an income!

Li Su began to inspect the surrounding area and finally chose a community that was close to the school and the community she currently lived in. Although the property environment was not as good as the current community, it was not bad. It was also a second-hand house. The other party had left all the electrical appliances and furniture, so they could move in directly.

On Zhang Yao's side, she always thought that they were renting their current house. Li Su told her that. Now Li Su said that the rent was about to expire and they needed to find another place to live in.

Zhang Yao thought it was to avoid the Zhang family, so she didn't think much about it.

The mother and daughter chose a weekend. They didn't even hire a moving company. It was just like exercising. After running back and forth a few times, they moved to a new house that night.

Afterwards, Li Su posted a rental advertisement online. Many people called and said they wanted to rent, but either the other party thought the rent was too expensive and wanted to bargain, or Li Su thought the other party was sloppy and didn't want to rent it out to them.

The house was not rented out until more than a month later.

During this period, Li Su and Zhang Yao lived their lives peacefully. Li Su was busy writing because, with the deepening of the plot, the number of subscriptions was increasing. Her income also rose a lot. Li Su's writing was even more powerful. Zhang Yao was busy studying for the final exam. She managed to get the double 100 on the exams, which made her mother look good.

Both mother and daughter left the Zhang family behind.

But at this time, Father Zhang appeared at the gate of the community with his grandson again. This time, the grandfather and grandson were much more downcast than last time. The old man knelt directly at the gate of the community and wanted to see Li Su.

The security guard angrily told him that the person he was looking for no longer lived here and moved away. As for where they moved to, he didn't know.

Father Zhang didn't believe it, he just thought the security guard was coaxing him. In the end, the person renting came forward in person and told him that Li Su had indeed moved out, and that they had moved in half a month after she left.

Only then did Father Zhang believe that Li Su had really left. He suddenly collapsed on the ground. The daughter-in-law died and his son went to jail, but the vixen occupied the house and refused to give him a penny. Now that Li Su had also moved out, what should he do?

The grandson next to him was impatient. "Grandpa, I want to eat KFC. I want to drink Coke! I want a robot! Grandpa, buy it for me. Buy it for me!"

Father Zhang looked at his grandson, but did not speak.

The child was unhappy, and started to roll on the ground. Father Zhang sighed, but in the end, he relented. "Okay, grandpa will take you to buy it."

The old man stood up, trembling, and took his grandson's hand. They then staggered forward.

Chapter 246 – My Daughter Will Not Sacrifice Everything For Her Younger Brother (part 18)

It turned out that after Father Zhang left with the child that day, he immediately went to Q City by car. Zhang Wei personally picked them up at the station and then took them to take a bath and change into clean clothes before taking them home.

Father Zhang was still a little unhappy. He felt that Zhang Wei was disgusted by them and he didn't think about who it was who made he and his grandson end up like this.

Zhang Wei explained helplessly, saying that his mother-in-law was a nurse in the hospital. She was a little bit of a clean-freak and was rather particular. In addition, Little An was pregnant now, so they paid special attention to these things. It was all for the sake of the child, so Father Zhang should not care about it too much.

When he mentioned his grandson, Father Zhang was reluctant to calm down, but he glanced at his ignorant grandson. "Let me tell you, Bao'er is also my grandson. He is your son, so you can't play favourites!" Although the child in that woman's belly was also his grandson, but how could he compare with Bao'er? Bao'er was his eldest grandson, the righteous eldest grandson.

Zhang Wei glanced at his son, who didn't even call him dad and who only looked at his phone. It would be a lie if he said he wasn't disappointed. But no matter what, he was also his eldest son, a precious son born with the hopes of the whole family.

"Don't worry, dad, I won't play favourites. Little An will also take good care of Bao'er. Just wait and enjoy!" Zhang Wei said with a smile.

Father Zhang was relieved, and asked again, "You and Qi Ya have not yet divorced. Then, this child will be born…"

"Don't worry, we have a good relationship," Zhang Wei said proudly. Only when Zhang Wei came to Q City did he realise that life could be so happy. Although Q City was only a small county town, and was not as prosperous as his hometown, but the prices here were low. He bought a four-bedroom place here with the money he sold the house for and he still had money left over. He rented a facade with the remaining money and started a small business. The business was also very profitable.

Without going home, his mother-in-law cooked a hot meal. He didn't need to do anything. His mother-in-law and Little An arranged everything in an orderly manner. It had been great so far.

It was not until later that Zhang Wei saw news of Father Zhang on the Internet did he realise that so many things had happened after he left. Qi Ya ran away, Liu Chun also ran away, and Father Zhang had nowhere to go with the child. Zhang Wei felt extremely guilty. He didn't expect that Little An and his mother-in-law would offer to house Father Zhang and his son, saying that the family could live together peacefully.

Zhang Wei was moved by the thoughtfulness and general knowledge of Little An and his mother-in-law, so he called Father Zhang.

They walked out of the station. Zhang Wei walked to the parking lot. Father Zhang saw him driving a new car. "You're living a good life. You even bought a car!"

"My mother-in-law bought it for me," Zhang Wei said proudly. "Dad, son, get in the car. Let's go home!"

Father Zhang hugged his grandson, snorted, and got into the car.

After arriving at the place, Father Zhang looked around and saw that it was not bad. "Dad, the environment in this community is good. In my hometown, it is impossible to buy such a house at the same price! This is a duplex building. Our house is on the second floor, so going up and down the stairs won't be so tiring. Come on, dad, let's go home!"

They went in and changed into indoor slippers. Father Zhang saw that Zhang Wei and the others were taking off their shoes at home, while his and his grandson had to wear disposable slippers. He immediately became a little unhappy. If they were sincere in picking them up, then why didn't they prepare a pair of slippers for him and his grandson?

Father Zhang wanted to complain, but when he saw Little An's huge belly, he held back.

Little An came up timidly and called out, "Dad!"

Father Zhang hummed casually and sat on the sofa with his grandson in his arms. As soon as Bao'er got to the sofa, he started bouncing around and used the sofa as a trampoline.

At this moment, a woman came out of the kitchen, carrying a few cups of hot tea and milk. She frowned when she saw a child jumping up and down on the sofa.

"My in-laws are here. Let's drink tea. A-Wei too. Did you get the slippers for your father and child? These are disposable slippers worn by guests. Didn't Little An buy a few new pairs of slippers in the supermarket last time? Let them wear those!"

Zhang Wei scratched his head in embarrassment. "I forgot. Dad, let me introduce you. This is my mother-in-law, surnamed Fang. Mum, this is my dad, and this is my son Zhang Da whose nickname is Bao'er." Then, he quickly went to get the slippers and let Father Zhang put them on.

Father Zhang's complexion improved only now. This was much better!

Fang Jie smiled and took the milk. "Bao'er, right? Come to Grandma to get some milk, okay?"

Bao'er shook his head and said loudly, "I want to drink Coke! Coke!"

Fang Jie frowned, glanced at Zhang Wei, and said patiently, "Bao'er, drinking too many carbonated beverages is not good for your health. Milk is nutritious! It is good!"

Then, she walked to Bao'er with the milk in her hand, but Bao'er didn't appreciate it at all. With a wave of his hand, he knocked over the milk. The milk spilled on the sofa and the cup rolled off the sofa and shattered on the floor with a bang.

Little An was taken aback. Zhang Wei hurried over to check her condition.

Fang Jie's face was a little ugly. This child was not just simple and self-willed. This child was rude and had no discipline!

With a gloomy face, she stopped talking. She wiped it up with a tissue first, then took off the sofa cushion. She was very unhappy when she saw that the sofa was also soaked with milk. She went to the kitchen and got a broom to sweep away the broken glass. Then, she brought a basin of clean water and squatted down to clean the sofa.

Father Zhang's face was flushed with anger. The child was just naughty and ignorant. Why bother so much?!

Father Zhang looked at Zhang Wei angrily, but Zhang Wei didn't pay attention to it at all. Zhang Wei only asked how Little An was.

Father Zhang was so angry that he was about to slap the table when suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

Seeing that Father Zhang's face was bad, Little An quickly stood up. "I'll open the door. Older brother, take care of dad and the child!"

Only then did Zhang Wei see that Father Zhang was angry and he felt a little helpless. His mother-in-law was just like this and she didn't mean to target anyone. She and Little An had to go outside to comb their hair for fear of leaving hair around in the house. But it was not easy to tell Father Zhang these words now. Zhang Wei planned to find a time to explain it to Father Zhang.

Zhang Wei got up, sat beside Father Zhang, and Little An went to open the door. As soon as the door opened, she asked, "Who are you looking for?" Before she could say anything, she was pushed to the ground forcefully.

Immediately after, someone kicked her stomach. She screamed in horror but couldn't stop the other's foot.

Her stomach hurt! Little An grabbed her stomach and got up, trying to turn around and protect her stomach.

The people in the living room also heard the movement at the door. Zhang Wei ran over immediately. When he saw the person, he was stunned. "Qi Ya!"

When Qi Ya heard the sound, she continued to kick Little An's stomach without raising her head.

In fact, Qi Ya didn't leave at all. She just hid and followed Father Zhang and the child secretly. She knew that no matter how ruthless Zhang Wei was, he would never leave Father Zhang and his child alone. Sure enough, she guessed right. She followed Father Zhang and the child all the way to Q City, and finally found the whereabouts of Zhang Wei and that slut.

While protecting her stomach, Little An shouted, "Brother, save me! Save me! My stomach hurts!"

Zhang Wei saw that Little An was in pain. He reacted and rushed over to hold Qi Ya. "What are you trying to do?! Get out of here quickly. You are trespassing! I will call the police and have you arrested!"

Qi Ya sneered a few times. "What do I want to do? Hmph! You forged my signature, sold my clothing store and my son's house without my consent, and then bought a house for this slut! You have the audacity to ask me what I want to do! Zhang Wei, I'm not finished with you."

Zhang Wei felt a little guilty. "What nonsense are you spouting?!"

Over there, Fang Jie heard the movement and ran over to check on her daughter's condition. Seeing the bloodstains spreading on her daughter's pants, her expression changed greatly. "Hurry up! Call an ambulance and call the police! Let the police handle it."

Zhang Wei immediately took out his cell phone and prepared to call the police.

Father Zhang came out with his grandson in his arms, and quickly stopped him. "You can't call the police. This is a family matter, so let's discuss it carefully. Don't call the police!"

Seeing that Zhang Wei really pressed 110, Qi Ya didn't hold back at all. Thinking of what he had done, Qi Ya was filled with grief and anger. She saw a fruit knife in the fruit bowl on the coffee table, and immediately rushed over, picked up the fruit knife and stabbed Little An in the stomach. "I'll kill you, slut!"

Fang Jie screamed in fright and stood in front of her daughter.

When Zhang Wei saw this, he didn't have time to think about anything. He rushed over to grab the knife, and the two of them fought.

After all, Qi Ya was a woman. She was not as strong as Zhang Wei. The knife was taken by him, but Qi Ya refused to admit defeat and wanted to grab it back.

Suddenly, Qi Ya suddenly stopped moving. Zhang Wei heaved a sigh of relief and sat up, gasping for air.

But he heard Father Zhang's trembling voice. "She, she, she…"

Zhang Wei looked back. He saw that Qi Ya had a knife stuck in his chest. He looked at his hands blankly. Where was the knife? Wasn't it in his hands? How could it be in Qi Ya?

At this time, several screams came from outside the door. Zhang Wei raised his head blankly only to find that the door was open. It was the neighbors who heard the movement who happened to see this scene.

What happened next could be imagined. Zhang Wei was taken away by the police and the child in Little An's belly could not be saved.

Only then did Fang Jie know that Zhang Wei and her daughter had been lying to her. Zhang Wei said that his relationship with his ex-wife broke down and they were separated. The reason why all the formalities had not been completed was because his ex-wife's mother was ill and the operation had not yet been completed. He had said for a while that he would go through the formalities before marrying Little An. Little An also knelt down and said that they really loved each other. Zhang Wei also spent money to buy a house, to buy a car, rent a shop, and do business. The house and car were all written up with her daughter's name, which was full of sincerity.

Fang Jie agreed with them. She didn't expect that it was all a scam. Fang Jie was very angry, but looking at her daughter, she felt helpless.

Father Zhang also wanted to save his son and wanted to pay a lawyer to defend his son to reduce the sentence. But, he didn't have that much money on him. Those stock funds were not easy to cash in for a while. Furthermore, Father Zhang was also a little selfish. Those stock funds were to be left to Bao'er. He didn't want to move them unless he had to.

So, Father Zhang and Fang Jie discussed the matter of the house and car, and then discussed getting a lawyer for Zhang Wei.

Chapter 247 – My Daughter Will Not Sacrifice Everything For Her Younger Brother (part 19)

Fang Jie hated Zhang Wei very much, so didn't have any good feelings towards Father Zhang. After the incident when Father Zhang showed up for the first time, he made such a request without even asking about her daughter. This request did not even consider Little An's future. Fang Jie flew into a fit of rage and kicked Father Zhang and his grandson out.

Father Zhang was angry, saying that this was the house his son bought with his own money and that Fang Jie had no right to drive them out.

Fang Jie sneered a few times. "You said it was bought by your son with his money, but do you have any proof? The money was transferred from my daughter's account, and my daughter's name is written on the property certificate. The car is also my daughter's. The name has nothing to do with Zhang Wei's money! Don't even think about it!"

Fang Jie couldn't help it. Her daughter not only lost her child this time, but also lost her qualifications to be a mother forever. The doctors said that her uterus was severely damaged and she may not be able to become pregnant again in the future.

At this point, Fang Jie no longer cared about accusing her daughter, nor about having a conscience. She could only follow a mother's instinct and plan more money for her daughter's second half of her life.

Father Zhang was stunned. He didn't have to think about it to ask, why did Zhang Wei do this? He was afraid that if he were to divorce Qi Ya in the future, these would count as joint property. He was a smart fool!

Father Zhang had no choice but to sacrifice his dignity. "No matter what, this is for the sake of Zhang Wei and Little An. Mother-in-law, you can't not help!"

Fang Jie snorted coldly. "Don't call me that. The matter with Zhang Wei and Little An is something you and I know very well. I didn't teach my daughter well, so that is my fault. My daughter is shameless and was willing to stoop so low, but now, we have both been taught a lesson and have been punished. Little An lost her child and can no longer have children in the future. As for Zhang Wei, hey, he killed someone. If he did something wrong, then he should naturally be punished by the law."

After saying that, she closed the door coldly.

Father Zhang had no choice but to take Bao'er to the hotel first. Then, he tried his best to raise money. He sold a few stocks, collected some money, and hired a lawyer for his son.

In the end, Zhang Wei was sentenced to ten years in prison.

When Father Zhang heard the court sentence, he almost fainted. But when he looked at his young grandson beside him, Father Zhang had no choice but to hold on.

Father Zhang thought that for future plans, he still had to go to Fang Jie to negotiate. He didn't expect to get the house back now, but she at least had to give them a place to stay. If Fang Jie did not agree, he would kneel there.

But it was to no avail. It turned out that Fang Jie and her daughter had moved away. During the period when Father Zhang was running around for Zhang Wei, Fang Jie sold all the house and car for lower than the market price. The mother and daughter left with the money. Nobody knew where they went.

Father Zhang really had no choice. He took his grandson to W City again, but in the end it was in vain again.

Father Zhang was a little desperate. He didn't know what to do. He thought about taking Bao'er to die with him, but when he stood on the roof and looked down, he felt dizzy and reluctant.

In the end, Father Zhang could only take Bao'er back to his hometown. He rented a small house, lived frugally, and waited for his son to come back from prison.

He didn't expect for Qi Ya's family to learn that he was back. They came to the door, crying and screaming, demanding compensation.

Father Zhang wanted to find Qi Ya's family and discuss how to raise Bao'er together, but he didn't know where Qi Ya's family was or their contact information. Now, after seeing this family's virtues, Father Zhang also despaired.

Father Zhang put his arms around his grandson and sat there with a blank face. "I have nothing left now, just this one grandson. He is your grandson. If you want him, take him!"

Qi Ya's parents glanced at Bao'er with disgust. Who wanted a grandson? They would have to pay for him. They wanted money!

Qi Ya's younger brother looked at the surroundings and it didn't look like they were rich. "Where's my older sister's clothing store?"

"Qi Ya took out a mortgage loan at the bank, and the money from selling the clothing store paid off the loan. Speaking of which, I would like to ask you something. Qi Ya's clothing store made a lot of money, so where did the money go?! Did she give it to you? That's all my grandson's money. Give it back!" Father Zhang said.

The Qi family got together to discuss things for a while. "Fine, give us ten thousand yuan. For my nephew's sake, we won't investigate my older sister's death, and we won't have contact with each other in the future!"

Ten thousand yuan? Father Zhang didn't want to give a single cent. "You want money, but I don't have any. There are two lives here if you want to take them."

The Qi family had always been bullies and were afraid of those who were tough. Seeing that Father Zhang's attitude was so firm, they didn't dare to make trouble. They finally left in a daze.

After the Qi family left, Father Zhang was afraid that the Qi family would make trouble again. In addition, the price of goods in his hometown was high, so he had to take his grandson to Q City and rent a house near the prison where Zhang Wei was serving his sentence.

Li Su was a little speechless after hearing about this from a former colleague. This was probably self-inflicted justice! However, she didn't care about what happened to the Zhang family.

But on Zhang Yao's side, Li Su thought about it over and over again. She decided not to tell Zhang Yao about the Zhang family for the time being. Although she had the right to know, but she was still young. Many of the things may not be acceptable. When she was older, then Li Su would tell her!

She ended up waiting for more than 10 years. After Zhang Yao finished the college entrance examination, she acted like a spoiled child to Li Su and said that she wanted to travel to Tibet with a few friends. She feared that Li Su would not agree.

Of course Li Su wouldn't agree. She had never liked this type of thing very much. It was hyped up on the internet, as if a trip to Tibet could purify the soul. How could such a thing be? Besides, they were a few young kids who refused to sign up for the tour group and went there by themselves. What if they encountered any danger?

In order to dispel Zhang Yao's thoughts, Li Su simply told Zhang Yao about the Zhang family. "The thing is… There is this matter. Your father was originally sentenced to ten years in prison and should have been released long ago, but he was not honest in prison. He fought with people, severely injured them, and was sentenced to two more years. I don't know when he will be released from prison. I have not inquired about your grandfather and that child, but your grandfather's monthly pension is quite large, which should be enough for them to live."

Zhang Yao was a little speechless. She didn't know that so many things had happened in the Zhang family. She was in a worry-free family.

Zhang Yao stopped talking about going on a trip and sat on the sofa. After thinking about it for a long time, she said, "Mum, I want to see."

Li Su nodded and readily agreed. "Okay, I've saved all your scholarship money for the past few years and collected some money. There is a total of fifty thousand yuan, which was originally a fund for your graduation trip. Bring it with you in case you need it."

Zhang Yao shook her head and waved her hand. "I don't want it. I'm just going to have a look. It's not for charity, so why bring so much money? What if it gets stolen?! Besides, who said I wouldn't travel. I just won't go with my classmates, Mum, let's go together and travel to Europe, okay?"

Li Su smiled. "Don't you think it's too restrictive to travel with your mother? You want to go with your mother again?"

"That's not true. When did I say that? Is it okay, mum?" Zhang Yao said coquettishly as she hugged Li Su.

Li Su glanced at her. She just happened to be finishing her story in the next few days. It was better to go out to relax, then come back to start a new story. "Okay, let's go. When you come back, we'll go!"

"Thank you, mum!" Zhang Yao laughed.

The next day, Zhang Yao was ready to go back to her hometown. When she was about to leave, Li Su warned her, "The wallet and documents should be separated. You need to keep your cell phone. If there are any problems, call the police as soon as possible, and then call your mother. Also, remember what your mother said."

"I know that in the event of danger, I can give up everything. Nothing is as important as a person!" Zhang Yao said with a smile. Since childhood, her mother had taught her this and she had always remembered it. In junior high school, when she was robbed on the way from school, she threw the bag to the other party without saying a word. The other party took the bag and ran away. When she got home, her mother praised her and said she did the right thing.

A few days later, Zhang Yao heard that there was a sports student in their school who also encountered a robbery. Relying on her youth and strength, she resisted, but she was stabbed by the other party. She happened to be stabbed in a vital point and died.

At that time, Zhang Yao was afraid for a while.

"Just remember. Mum transferred three thousand yuan to your bank card. If it's not enough, just tell mum!" Li Su urged.

Zhang Yao nodded. "I know, mum. You should pay attention when you are at home alone. I will often video call you."

Just as the elevator door opened, Zhang Yao hurried in. Walking out of the unit door, Zhang Yao looked back and saw that her mother was standing on the balcony and looking for her.

Zhang Yao jumped, waved vigorously, and shouted, "Mum! Goodbye!"

Her mum also waved at her.

Zhang Yao walked a long way. When she looked back, her mother was still there, just like every day before.

Zhang Yao smiled. She knew that no matter how far she went, when she turned back, her mother would stand behind her and watch her. This gave her the confidence to move forward bravely. This also gave her the courage to face the past.

Zhang Yao went back to her hometown. Although she knew that none of them were there, she still wanted to go back and have a look. She wanted to look at the 'home' where she once lived for six years.

But when Zhang Yao arrived, she realised that it was no longer what she remembered.

Zhang Yao stood there, sighed, and turned away without a trace of reluctance.

After that, she went to Q City. She didn't know Father Zhang's address. She only knew that it was near the prison where Zhang Wei was serving his sentence. It was just that, after so many years, she didn't know if they had moved.

Zhang Yao took a taxi to the prison. She was a little hesitant, not knowing whether she should go to the prison to visit that person and if she should call him father.

Zhang Yao subconsciously wanted to take out her cell phone to ask her mother's opinion, but after hesitating for a long time, she gave up. Her mother was different from her. She and the Zhang family were still bound by blood, but her mother was not. She shouldn't let the Zhang family's affairs bother her mother anymore.

Zhang Yao lingered at the gate of the prison for a long time until the guard came to ask her what she was here for.

Zhang Yao finally made a decision. "I want to visit someone."

Chapter 248 – My Daughter Will Not Sacrifice Everything For Her Younger Brother (final part)

Two hours later, Zhang Yao finally saw Zhang Wei. She was impatient and didn't want to wait.

Zhang Wei recognized Zhang Yao at first sight. He was a little excited. "Yao'er? Are you Yao'er? You're all grown up now? Have you graduated high school?"

The corners of Zhang Yao's mouth twitched slightly. It seemed that her father really didn't think about her at all. He probably only had his son on his mind!

"I just finished the college entrance examination. My mother told me everything about the past, so I came to take a look," Zhang Yao said softly.

After being excited, Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Yao. He saw her clothes and the phone in her hand and Zhang Wei knew. "It seems that you two are doing well. What is your mother doing now?"

Zhang Yao said calmly, "Mum is writing online. Her income is not high, but it is enough for us to live."

"Is it? When your mother divorced me, she must have hidden a lot of money in her hands. Otherwise, how could you and your mother have a foothold in W City and live in such a high-end community? It's fine if your mother won't tell me the truth, but even you won't tell me the truth?" Zhang Wei sneered.

"Now, your father is in jail and your grandfather took your younger brother with him. Life is so difficult. You are doing well now. You should also give your younger brother a hand."

Zhang Yao rolled her eyes. She was now sure that her decision was wrong. "You just want my mother to have money. Why haven't you thought about how difficult it was for her to take care of me by herself for so many years?! I haven't gone to college yet, and I don't have the ability to be independent. Where can I get the money to help others?"

Knowing that Zhang Yao was unhappy, Zhang Wei quickly changed his tone. "Dad didn't mean that. Dad only has two children, you and Zhang Da. You are brother and sister, so you need to help each other. By the way, Zhang Da is your younger brother. His nickname is Bao'er. He is six years younger than you, but he is not very obedient and does not have bright prospects, so he will depend on you in the future. He likes you very much and has always wanted to see you. But he has not had a chance. Don't you want to meet him? They live in ** community. Your grandfather is too old and has no energy to control him. You are his older sister. He will listen to what you say."

Today, he had no confidence to be a father in front of this daughter he had never met. Besides, he still had some days before he could get out of prison. He had been in prison for more than ten years, and he was out of touch with society. After being released from prison, he didn't know what to do for a living.

In addition, dad came to visit him recently and said that Zhang Da was very disrespectful lately. He lied and deceived people. He didn't even go to school and he stole money to play games in internet cafes. Dad was getting old and couldn't control him at all. Currently, it seemed like Zhang Da was not close to him. Even if he was released from prison, he may not be able to discipline Zhang Da. If he couldn't manage himself, how could he discipline his son?

Zhang Wei had been thinking about this for a long time. He had planned to wait to go to W City to find Li Su after he was released from prison. There was also Zhang Yao, who was his own daughter. Wouldn't she still care about the life and death of her father and younger brother? He didn't expect that, before he was released from prison, Zhang Yao came by herself.

Although it was only a few simple words, Zhang Yao already had a rough idea of what her father, who she had not seen for a long time, was thinking. He was really thinking of her as a fool!

Zhang Yao regretted that she had asked to come visit.

"I'll go see them later," Zhang Yao said perfunctorily.

"That's good. You are siblings and should support each other. You should go quickly. Dad will be released from prison in a few months, and then he will visit you in W City! Which community do you live in now? What's your cell phone number? How will dad find you then?" Zhang Wei asked with a smirk.

Zhang Yao stood up abruptly. "The time to visit is over. I need to go."

After she finished speaking, she hurried out of the visiting room without waiting for Zhang Wei to speak. She was afraid that if she stayed any longer, she couldn't help but break down.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't care about her. He didn't care about how she had been through these years, or what her academic performance was. He knew that she had already passed the college entrance examination, and he didn't ask how she did.

He didn't care about her at all.

He only wanted to bring her closer to the so-called 'younger brother' so that she could become the kind of girl who would sacrifice everything for her younger brother, just the way he wanted.

When Zhang Yao came out of prison, she really wanted to go home immediately and see her mother. But after thinking about it, she still went to that community. She didn't plan to meet Father Zhang and the others. She just wanted to take a look from a distance and see that they were not doing well so she could feel relieved.

Zhang Yao was sitting in a taxi. It stopped outside the gate of the community. She was about to get out of the car when she saw an old man chasing a teenage child at the gate of the community, scolding while he was chasing. "Stop! That's the living expenses for the second half of the month. If you take it away, then what will we eat in the second half of the month?! You only know how to play games every day and steal your family's money, you bastard!"

Zhang Yao sat in the car, rolled down the window, looked carefully. She confirmed that the slow-moving old man was Father Zhang, so the child running in front was her younger brother?

"Little girl, are you still getting out?" the driver asked when Zhang Yao didn't move for a long time.

"No, go straight to the airport!" Zhang Yao missed her mother. She wanted to go home immediately.

A few days later, Father Zhang came to visit Zhang Wei again. Before he could sit down, Zhang Wei quickly asked him, "How was it?"

Father Zhang was exhausted. "How was what?"

"Zhang Yao! How is she getting along with Zhang Da? Why didn't she come with you? Has she left? Dad, why don't you keep her around for a while? Where's Zhang Da? How is your relationship with Zhang Yao? "Zhang Wei asked in a loud voice.

Father Zhang's expression changed. "Have you seen Zhang Yao? She didn't come to us at all!"

Zhang Wei was surprised. "How is that possible? She said she would visit you!"

Father Zhang said with certainty, "No, I've been at home these past few days, and no one has been here at all. Did she visit you?"

Zhang Wei nodded solemnly. "This child is like her mother, ruthless and unrighteous."

Father Zhang frowned. "Are they still living in W City? I'll find them!"

Zhang Wei shook his head. "No need, I'll go." Zhang Yao was his daughter. She couldn't get rid of him.

Zhang Yao returned home with an expression of guilt. "Mum, I seem to have done something wrong."

Li Su was typing. When she heard this, she didn't raise her head. "What's wrong?"

"I went to see him. I felt like he wanted to rely on me. Mum, what should I do?" Zhang Yao sat beside Li Su and said with her head lowered.

Li Su finished writing, saved, and shut off the computer. "It's a big deal. I originally planned to wait for your admission letter to come before going there. I planned to rent a house there, and if I found a suitable one, I would buy it. I just didn't mention it because I was afraid that you would be unhappy and feel that you would have no space for yourself and that you were not free. "

"Mum! Is this okay?" Zhang Yao didn't expect things to be solved so easily.

"Nothing is impossible. It was the same as when we moved from our hometown to W City. People are important and nothing else matters. This sentence still holds true," Li Su said with a smile, and touched Zhang Yao's hair. "But you have to be mentally prepared. Your father will not give up easily. He is your father. Legally speaking, you have a duty to support him. He might make a fuss over this."

Zhang Yao pouted. "I know, but I'll give him a few hundred yuan a month. It's just that he wants me to raise his son for him. It's impossible."

"It is good to know what you want. Now that it's been decided, let's get ready." Li Su was almost ready. When Zhang Yao was in the second year of high school, she sold another house, which happened to be when the house price rose to the highest, so she made a lot of money. She had also advertised the current house and some people had come to see it. The two sides also talked about the same. Li Su offered 20,000 yuan, and the only requirement was to stay for two more months before moving out.

Li Su's original plan was that, after Zhang Yao went to university, she would move to the city where Zhang Yao went to university and rent a house first. If Zhang Yao decided to work there in the future, she would buy a house for her daughter. It was for security, peace of mind, and an investment.

"Mum, then let's not travel. It's better to keep the money. There will be other places to use it." Zhang Yao immediately calculated.

"Don't worry, your mother has made a lot of money over the years. Although I haven't saved much, I have some savings. I promised you that you could go on a graduation trip, so that will still happen!" Li Su said. "This is the last time your mother will provide you with travel funds. After you go to college, if you want to travel, you will have to find your own way!"

"I know, mum. Thank you, mum!" Zhang Yao said as she hugged her mother.

The mother and daughter then booked a tour group online, packed their things, and went to Europe for a ten-day tour.

After returning, the mother and daughter first went to Y City where Zhang Yao was going to university. They also visited the university and then started renting.

After two weeks in Y City, the house was finally settled. The mother and daughter went back to W City and began to pack their luggage, taking away what they could take with them, and packing and mailing the rest.

Then the mother and daughter walked away without restraint.

After more than a month, Zhang Wei was released from prison. The first thing he did after he was released from prison was to go to W City to find Li Su and her daughter. He had prepared for this for a long time. He was ready to work while he searched. He originally wanted to work as a security guard in the community where Li Su lived.

He thought that Li Su, who was a woman with a child, must still be in W City. He planned to use this community to search everywhere.

He didn't expect that being a security guard had such strict requirements. It didn't matter how old he was, but he even needed to not have a criminal history.

Zhang Wei was afraid of people knowing that he had been in prison, so he had to run away. Then, he came up with an idea to work as a sanitation worker. Since the scope of this job was wide and he would see many people, perhaps he could see Li Su and her daughter. He successfully stood out among a group of old men and women in their fifties and sixties, and was successfully selected. Those old men and women who lost the opportunity also looked at him with puzzled and contemptuous eyes. They thought that he was a strong man in his forties, so why was he coming to sweep the road for 1000 yuan a month? What was the point?!

But Zhang Wei couldn't control this. He was a decent person.

But on the first day of work, Zhang Wei couldn't take it anymore. He had to get up at 4-5 in the morning, and then he had to work non-stop. He couldn't stand waking up that early and working that hard anymore. He undressed, threw the broom, and ran.

After that, Zhang Wei started looking for another job. He finally found a job as a security guard at a Foot Bath City. Food and housing were included, and the salary was more than 2,000 a month. Zhang Wei thought it was rare. He had no trade and no degree. He had encountered many obstacles on the way to find a job before, so he had no choice.

But one month passed, then two. Zhang Wei never found the whereabouts of Li Su and her daughter. He wandered around the neighborhood where Li Su had lived before, and inquired about her, but he found nothing. He went to several nearby neighborhoods, but he still found nothing.

A year passed and Zhang Wei had almost scoured the entirety of W City without finding anything.

On the other hand, because Zhang Wei met a lot of people, he was able to speak again, and he was a good security guard. He was even promoted to be the security captain. His salary also increased and he fell in love with a young lady from Foot Bath City. While he was still not able to find Li Su and her daughter, his life was actually really good.

Slowly, Zhang Wei himself was a little shaken.

Zhang Wei often called Father Zhang at first, and then the number of calls gradually decreased.

Zhang Wei thought that people were all selfish. Zhang Da had not been close to him since he was a child, and he probably wouldn't be able to count on him in the future. People had so many decades in their lives, so why did they need to work so hard?!

When Zhang Wei contacted Father Zhang, he vaguely revealed that he didn't want to concern himself with Zhang Da anymore, but Father Zhang scolded Zhang Wei, saying that he was selfish or something.

Zhang Wei knew that Father Zhang would never give up on Zhang Da, so he was a little disdainful and simply left Zhang Da with Father Zhang. Anyway, the old man had a pension. As a father, he would not fight with his son. The old man's property belonged to Zhang Da! Correspondingly, in the future, the old man's life, death, and burial would also be Zhang Da's problem. It had nothing to do with him!

Thinking like this, Zhang Wei cut off contact with Father Zhang and lived on his own.

Poor Father Zhang. He had to push his old body to death while being angry with his grandson. He still had to take care of himself until the day his son returned. As long as his son came back, life would be fine.

It was unfortunate that Father Zhang ended up collapsing in the rental house due to a sudden heart attack while still waiting for his son to come back.

And his precious grandson, Zhang Da, saw that Father Zhang was dead. His first reaction was not sadness, but the feeling of nobody finally caring about him playing games anymore.

Zhang Da was also smart. He knew that his grandfather's death should not be known to outsiders, otherwise he would not be able to get his grandfather's pension. So, he stuffed his grandfather's body in the refrigerator. Then, he took out the savings at home, went to the Internet cafe, and played for half a month.

This went on until a few months later. Because the rent was due, the landlord called to urge them to pay the rent, but Father Zhang's phone did not work anymore since the plan had not been paid for. The landlord could not contact anyone, so he had to come to the door in person. Nobody opened the door. After knocking on the door for a long time, he went to ask around. People said that they hadn't seen Father Zhang for many days, and even his grandson had not shown up for several days.

The landlord was afraid that something must have happened, so he called the police. The police broke through the door and eventually found the body of Father Zhang, who was curled up in a ball and had already frozen in the refrigerator.

Zhang Da was finally taken away in an internet cafe. After investigation, he was sentenced for the crime of hiding another person's body. Because he was under the age of 16, he was given a lighter punishment and was sent to a juvenile detention center.

During this period, Zhang Wei appeared once, took care of Father Zhang's death, and left with Father Zhang's inheritance without asking about Zhang Da's situation.

Two years later, Zhang Da came out of the juvenile detention center and Zhang Wei did not appear. Zhang Da had nowhere to go. He lingered in internet cafes all day long and went out to steal when he had no money. He was caught and locked up for a while, and continued to live like this after he came out. His life kept cycling like this.

As for Zhang Wei, he made a small fortune because he inherited Father Zhang's estate. He lived a very prosperous life, but the good times didn't last long. Because he drank too much and was jealous of others. He ended up in a conflict and accidentally injured the other party. Yes, he was locked up again.

Under these circumstances, the father and son were finally reunited in prison.

When they saw each other in the wind, neither father or son said a word. It was just that, since then, Zhang Wei had a tail that he couldn't shake off.

Whenever Zhang Wei was implicated, he was half-dead with anger and regretted his son. Why did he lose his head in the first place? He took a wrong step. If he hadn't been with Qi Ya and Qi Ya had not been pregnant with a boy, he would not have divorced. If he hadn't divorced, he wouldn't be where he was today!

He felt sorry for the first time!

Compared with the miserable life of Zhang Wei and his son, the lives of Li Su and Zhang Yao were much more exciting and rich. The mother and daughter changed cities and started life again. Zhang Yao's university life was colourful, and Li Su did not give up too much. She began to travel while writing. Every time she went to a place, she would collect the most distinctive local things, carefully select the ones she wanted, and put them in the space.

It was likely due to the influence of the original family that Zhang Yao was a little afraid of marriage. She did not want to fall in love and did not want to get married and have children. In this regard, Li Su respected and supported her, but she still suggested Zhang Yao to freeze her eggs when she was 28, just in case she met someone who was willing to change her mind in the future. Then, she would not regret it.

Although Zhang Yao didn't think she would change her mind in the future, she still listened to Li Su's words and did so.

When Zhang Yao was 38 while traveling abroad, she met a man. The two met over a cup of coffee and chatted. Zhang Yao had never had such a pleasant chat. It was as if they were old friends who had known each other for a long time.

Zhang Yao knew that she was tempted, but she also knew that this temptation was fruitless. The two came from different countries and had different cultural backgrounds. So, she could only stop these feelings.

She didn't expect that the man actually chased after her. He and Zhang Yao had the same mind. He was not sure that he could find a person who fit his soul as well as Zhang Yao if he let Zhang Yao get away. So, he didn't want to miss this chance and didn't want to give up.

When Zhang Yao was 39, she finally got married.

Regarding the issue of children, Frank didn't care, but Zhang Yao wanted to have a child with her lover. At that time, their family of three would definitely be very happy. At this time, she was very grateful to her mother for her suggestion when she was twenty-eight years old.

When Li Su was 68, she finally became a grandmother. Outside the delivery room, she looked at the granddaughter in her arms, who was as beautiful as an angel, and smiled happily. Beside her, her foreign son-in-law was holding her daughter's hand and crying! He was terrified and thought he would lose his lover.

Li Su looked at Zhang Yao, who was exhausted but smiling happily. Zhang Yao also looked at Li Su at this time. When the eyes of the mother and daughter met, they both laughed.

Chapter 249 – Raising A Son In The Cultivation World (part 1) (catching insects)

The light passed through the window lattice. Today was the first birthday of the eldest young miss of the Yuan family. On the embroidered bed in the Yuan family's east garden, a woman opened her eyes.

Li Su rolled over and sat up, woke up, and began to think about what to do next.

The story of the person she transmigrated to this time was about a cultivator. It was a story of a middle-aged male protagonist's enlightenment, hard work, and various adventures and hardships. The original owner and the target of this mission existed in the memory of the hero.

The Yuan family was an ordinary family in the Eastern Continent. To say that he was ordinary was in comparison to those who cultivated. In the mortal world, the Yuan family was considered an aristocratic family. Their ancestors had produced 2 empresses, 3 princesses, many princess consorts, and of course, many talents.

The original owner, Liu Qingyun, was the current mistress of the Yuan family. After marrying into the Yuan family, she was filial to her in-laws, served her husband, and loved her siblings. She was gentle and kind. She was a qualified mistress, and the Yuan family highly praised her.

But Liu Qingyun has been in the family for 5 years and never had any children. Therefore, her husband, Yuan Dao, offered to marry an equal wife. He wanted to marry an equal wife and not a concubine.

Liu Qingyun was ambitious and proud. Although she was very reluctant, she had no children, so she had to bow her head.

Yuan Dao's newly married wife was Su Wanrong. There were cultivators in the family. As the descendants of cultivators, their families had also been bequeathed books on martial arts techniques by their ancestors, so that practitioners could strengthen their bodies and prolong their life. It could be said that the Yuan family married her as an equal wife for this reason. After all, Su Wanrong's children were also descendants of the Su family and could practice these martial arts techniques.

After Su Wanrong married into the Yuan family, she fell in love with Yuan Dao. Between them and Liu Qingyun, although the relationship between the two was doomed to be hostile because of their identities, on the surface they were relatively harmonious.

In the beginning, the Yuan family still favored Liu Qingyun. After all, they met Liu Qingyun first and had many years of history.

But within half a year of entering the house, Su Wanrong became pregnant and gave birth to a daughter.

Although she was a daughter, she was Yuan Dao's first child. The Yuan family was very happy. Yuan Dao also loved this daughter a lot. Besides, Su Wanrong could have a daughter and a son in the future. Therefore, Su Wanrong's position in the Yuan family gradually stabilised. Liu Qingyun could not compete.

Nobody expected that, not long after the eldest young miss of the Yuan family's first birthday banquet, Liu Qingyun, who had been infertile for many years, unexpectedly became pregnant. Su Wanrong also had good news at about the same time.

Liu Qingyun was ecstatic, and the Yuan family was also very happy. Prosperity of offspring was a sign of prosperity for the family.

After she conceived in October, Liu Qingyun was able to give birth to a boy, but Su Wanrong had a difficult childbirth. After Su Wanrong narrowly escaped death, she gave birth to twins, one male and one female. However, the boy died and the girl lived. This was a bad omen at the time.

After Liu Qingyun learned about it, she was overjoyed and sighed in relief, thinking that she had won.

Nobody expected that, that night, an immortal would accidentally land in Su Wanrong's yard and pick up the child who killed her brother at birth.

The immortal had some connections with the ancestors of the Su family. Before the death of the ancestor of the Su family, the ancestor had asked the immortal to take care of the ancestor's descendants in the mortal world. The immortal calculated with his fingers and learned that a child with spiritual roots was born in the Su family, so he came to the mortal world, picked up the child, and added □□ to make her enter the path of enlightenment as soon as possible to avoid the pain of birth, old age, sickness, and death.

The situation suddenly changed. Su Wanrong, who was in the losing position, had her arteries transformed suddenly. What if Madam Su gave birth to the eldest son? Madam Su's daughter was a cultivator! In the future, if she could see the secrets of heaven and become an immortal, maybe the whole family would benefit from it.

After Yuan Dao discussed this matter with his parents, he handed over the power of the house to Su Wanrong.

Liu Qingyun was a proud and arrogant person. She thought that, since she had given birth to the eldest son of the Yuan family, victory was in her hands. She didn't expect that such a change would occur, that the power of the house, which represented her status, was taken away. She couldn't accept this. She got too agitated and experienced sudden hemorrhaging. Her situation was critical, even the doctor was helpless.

In the end, Su Wanrong asked her maid to deliver a pill to save Liu Qingyun. After the others found out, they praised Su Wanrong for being tolerant and generous.

But Liu Qingyun hurt her body because of this, and from then on, she was bedridden and on her last legs.

After Yuan Dao and his parents learned the reason for Liu Qingyun's sudden hemorrhaging, they were displeased with Liu Qingyun. They believed that she was ignorant, intolerant, and not as generous and decent as Su Wanrong. They preferred Su Wanrong.

Because Liu Qingyun was ill, she couldn't raise her own child. She was worried about handing him over to someone else. After some deliberation, she wanted to hand over her son to her mother-in-law to raise.

Mother Yuan agreed in front of Liu Qingyun, but she turned around and said that she was not in good health and could not raise the child. Mother Yuan entrusted her eldest grandson to Su Wanrong to raise.

Mother Yuan's move was also distressing for her grandson. In her opinion, Liu Qingyun was now only a half-dead person, and the Yuan family had only one mistress, Su Wanrong. As for Su Wanrong, if she could give birth to a daughter who had spiritual roots and could cultivate to become an immortal, the son she would give birth to in the future would definitely be very intelligent. In the future, the Yuan family would still be handed over to Su Wanrong's son. By then, Yuan Xian's identity would be embarrassing.

Liu Qingyun was just a dying person. How long could Liu Qingyun protect her grandson? It was better to take advantage of Su Wanrong's absence of a son of her own so they could develop more familial feelings, and he could have his place in the future. Yuan Dao also agreed with this.

Yuan Dao didn't think so much. He simply trusted Su Wanrong's character and was relieved to hand over his eldest son to Su Wanrong to raise.

But Su Wanrong was reluctant. She had two daughters to take care of, and she had to look after the household. She also had to take care of herself so that she could have a son by her side. Why would she be willing to educate the son of a rival?

But her father-in-law and the mother-in-law had spoken, so Su Wanrong had no choice but to accept it.

However, Su Wanrong didn't care about Yuan Xian, and only asked the wet nurse to take care of him.

The next year, Su Wanrong became pregnant again. She finally gave birth to a healthy boy named Yuan Ye, who was the male lead.

When Yuan Ye was born, although no immortals came, a girl came riding on a crane. She was Su Wanrong's second daughter, the former second older sister, Yuan Ru.

Yuan Ru obtained an elixir from the immortal, and let Yuan Ye take it. It could cleanse the meridians and bone marrow so demonic energy could not invade his body.

After watching her younger brother take the immortal medicine, Yuan Ru said a few words to Yuan Dao, Su Wanrong, and her eldest sister, Yuan Lan before she flew away on the crane.

The Yuan family had always attached more importance to Yuan Ye, and Yuan Ye had this occur, so his status was even more unusual. Although he was the second son, he had enjoyed being treated like the eldest son since childhood. And he himself was also very good. He was excellent at reading, riding and shooting, and dealing with people.

Yuan Xian was eclipsed by his younger brother. In fact, although he was not as good as Yuan Ye, he was still good. Yuan Ye respected his older brother a lot and was humble. But Yuan Xian inherited Liu Qingyun's ambition and pride. When he was five years old, after learning of his own background, his personality became increasingly more strange. His mother asked him to live up to her expectations day after day. Yuan Xian thought like this at first, but he found that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up with his younger brother, and his heart became more twisted.

When Yuan Xian was eighteen years old, Yuan Dao wanted to get him married. When he asked for Yuan Xian's opinion, at the behest of his own mother, Yuan Xian proposed to marry his cousin from his maternal uncle's family, Mingzhu, as his wife.

Although Yuan Dao was not very satisfied, he agreed. When he went to the Liu family to talk about this, the uncle of the Liu family wanted to marry his daughter to Yuan Ye.

Yuan Dao was very angry. He turned back and ordered no one to tell Yuan Xian about this.

But the wet nurse next to Su Wanrong proudly told Liu Qingyun about it. Liu Qingyun didn't expect that her own brother would despise her own son and she died from anger.

After Yuan Xian learned the truth about his mother's death, he didn't say a word. He just knelt in front of his mother's remains.

Yuan Ye knew about it, so he personally pressed that wet nurse to apologise. He even hit her twenty times in front of Yuan Xian, and the whole family kicked her out.

But he was still expressionless and didn't say a word.

Seeing this, Yuan Dao didn't know what to do since he didn't know the general situation.

After Liu Qingyun was buried, Yuan Xian said that he would live in a house in front of his deceased mother's grave to keep filial piety for three years. Yuan Dao agreed.

Three years later, the Yuan family sent someone to pick Yuan Xian and have him return home. At the family banquet, Yuan Ye looked at Yuan Xian's face with guilt. After, Yuan Dao made an announcement. Yuan Xian learned that, after his mother died, his uncle from the Liu family had visited the Yuan family. Yuan Ye and cousin from the Liu family fell in love at first sight.

Yuan Ye liked her, and Su Wanrong didn't stop him. In addition, a woman from the second branch of the Liu family had just become the crown prince's official consort. Yuan Dao also wanted to form connections with the Liu family, so he agreed.

It was only because of Liu Qingyun's death that he had to keep filial piety, so this news was not made public.

Yuan Xian sneered in his heart after hearing this. It turned out that his uncle and cousin had been to the Yuan family's house, but they did not go to his mother's grave to pay their respects. That's right, what his uncle valued was not his mother and he, but Yuan Ye, who had a cultivator as an older sister.

Yuan Xian was silent. This made Yuan Dao a little unhappy, and he said that both parties must be willing regarding the matter of marriage.

Yuan Xian still didn't speak. Yuan Dao just ignored him.

Three months later, Yuan Ye and Liu Mingzhu got married. The Yuan family invited lots of guests, had a feast, and were beaming with joy.

Early next morning, the newlyweds served tea to their elders. As a result, after Yuan Dao and Su Wanrong drank their daughter-in-law's tea, they suffered severe pain in their abdomens and soon fell into a coma.

Yuan Ye was shocked. He did not doubt his wife because she had no reason to do such a thing. While comforting his frightened wife, he also ordered the gate to be closed for a thorough investigation.

After some investigation, the poisoner was found out. It turned out to be Yuan Xian.

Yuan Ye couldn't believe that his older brother had done such a treacherous thing, but with the facts in front of him, he couldn't help but keep asking Yuan Xian why.

Yuan Xian took out a knife from his sleeve and stabbed Yuan Ye. At the critical moment, Liu Mingzhu blocked the knife for Yuan Ye. Yuan Xian's knife missed. He prepared another knife.

At this critical moment, there was a flash of white light. Yuan Xian was knocked aside by an inexplicable force. From the clouds, a beautiful fairy floated out, looking at Yuan Xian with contempt and disgust. "The Liu family are your maternal relatives. But I chose Yuan Ye instead of you because Yuan Ye is better than you. This move by the Liu family was just natural! You don't reflect on yourself, but blame others. You are really useless."

After finishing speaking, Yuan Ru ignored Yuan Xian. She first fed Yuan Dao and Su Wanrong two medicinal pills to relieve the poison in their bodies. Then, she cast a spell to heal Liu Mingzhu's injury.

Although Yuan Dao was unconscious, he was aware of everything going on. He heard everything just now. The first thing he did after waking up was to slap Yuan Xian. "You are ruthless and unjust beast! My Yuan family does not have such a disobedient and unfilial descendant like you!"

Yuan Dao expelled Yuan Xian. This was still considered him showing Yuan Xian some sympathy.

But Yuan Ru didn't want to let Yuan Xian go so easily. This was the last time she would come back to the world. After returning, she would go to a secret realm to gain some experience. After that, she didn't know when she would be able to come out. By the time she came out, perhaps her parents and her family would no longer be there. She was worried about leaving behind such a hidden danger that threatened the safety of her parents and brothers.

After leaving the Yuan family, Yuan Ru found Yuan Xian and stripped him of one spirit and one soul1, which would not affect his lifespan, but he became a foolish person.

In this way, Yuan Ru left with confidence. She didn't even think about how Yuan Xian would protect himself after he lost one spirit and one soul.

After the turmoil, Yuan Dao removed Liu Qingyun and Yuan Xian from the family history. He pretended that these two people never existed. Yuan Ye couldn't bear it and ordered people to search for the whereabouts of Yuan Xian. But, after searching everywhere, he couldn't discover Yuan Xian's existence.

Yuan Ye and Liu Mingzhu were in love with each other. After their marriage, Yuan Ye participated in the imperial examinations and achieved first place in the civil service examinations at the provincial, metropolitan, and palace levels. He finally became the prime minister, a highly respected minister. He and Liu Mingzhu had three sons and one daughter. The husband and wife were very affectionate. The three sons born were also intelligent, and they were all talented generals.

After Liu Mingzhu's death, Yuan Ye suddenly had an epiphany and began to cultivate. His talent was outstanding. Within a few years, he had entered the foundation-building stage. Afterwards, he simply abandoned his family and his sons, lived in seclusion in the mountains, and cultivated.

After that, Yuan Ye beat monsters and increased in cultivation. It was the story of his cultivation.

1.(一魂一魄) There isn't a good translation to English for this. Apparently, there are 3 immortal souls in Daoism that represent the spirit and intellect, and 7 mortal forms in Daoism that represent carnal life and desires. I guess Yuan Ru just removes one of each? Not too sure here.↩

Chapter 250 – Raising A Son In The Cultivation World (part 2)

When Li Su transmigrated, it was the day that Yuan Dao and Su Wanrong's eldest daughter was one year old.

Li Su touched her belly. At about this time, he was already in her belly! Li Su wondered if she should run away before someone found out that she was pregnant.

Li Su didn't plan to fight against Su Wanrong. In this world, it was clear that heaven was on Su Wanrong's side. Her ancestors were cultivators and she gave birth to a daughter who was also a cultivator. Cultivators must cut off worldly desires and pursue the cultivation path wholeheartedly. Yuan Ru ran to the mortal world every three or five years as she considered the mortal world as her back garden.

Li Su's task this time was to raise Yuan Xian. That was all. There was no need to confront them. Besides, this was a cultivation world. What could Li Su do to these people? Li Su had a space, others boundless abilities. Li Su had one space, but the others would have a hundred more. As for her relative strength? As soon as they waved their hands, Li Su would be sent flying.

She knew her limits! Was it okay for her to stay out of all their complicated relationships?

Li Su had made up her mind. She began to prepare for the future. The first thing to do was to check the dowry of the original owner. This was what the mother and son would rely on in the future.

After checking her dowry and private property, Li Su was satisfied. The original owner was the youngest daughter of the Liu family. After her birth mother gave birth to her, she died. Her father treated her like a treasure. When the original owner got married, her father gave almost half of the Liu family property as a dowry to his daughter. Most of his private property was also given to the original owner before he died. It was likely that the entire Yuan family may not even be comparable to the original owner, let alone Su Wangrong. Who knew whose dowry was worth more in the end?

Although the story didn't explain it, Li Su could still guess. In the second year after Liu Qingyun's death, Su Wanrong's eldest daughter, Yuan Lan, got married extravagantly and became a princess consort. Although the Yuan family had some wealth, Yuan Lan was just a daughter. Yuan Dao had intentions, but he would not use most of the family wealth as his daughter's dowry. Su Wanrong's original dowry was not generous. One could imagine how Yuan Lan's extravagant wedding came about. Although, Li Su didn't understand how the Yuan family and Su Wanrong operated.

Li Su had a bottom line. She was very grateful that there was no marriage law in this era. A woman's dowry was the woman's private property, and the husband's family could not use it. Even if he was divorced or abandoned, the dowry went with the woman.

With these dowries, Li Su had more confidence. She was going to negotiate with Yuan Dao.

After seeing off the last guest, Yuan Dao was also a little tired and was about to go to West Garden to rest.

"Master, please come here. There is something important that the madam wants to discuss."

Yuan Dao saw that it was Cui Zhu, the dowry maid of his first wife, who spoke.

Yuan Dao frowned, today was Lan'er's birthday banquet. Even if he didn't say it, Qingyun should know that he was going to rest in West Garden today. Why was she rashly sending someone to invite him over now?

"I'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm tired." After that, Yuan Dao left without looking back. Qingyun was now acting increasingly out of line. On such a happy day today, she didn't attend because of illness, and only now did she come out like this. She really thought he was a foolish person. Did she think that he would be fooled by her?

"Master, the madam said that, if you don't go, she will tell the old master and the old madam tomorrow." Cui Zhu was not afraid.

Yuan Dao left without stopping. What could she say? It was nothing more than her asking his parents to call the shots for her.

When Li Su heard Cui Zhu's report, she sneered. Okay, if she offered to discuss something and he didn't come, then he couldn't blame her for acting first and reporting afterwards.

The next day, Li Su went to Lofty Purple Hall, just at the time Yuan Dao and Su Wanrong were holding Yuan Lan to pay their respects to the old master and old madam.

"Paying respects to father and mother, my husband, and younger sister. Everyone is here. That's good. I have something to say," Li Su said with a smile.

Su Wanrong hugged the child and bowed slightly to Li Su.

Yuan Dao frowned slightly.

"Qingyun, what's the matter so early in the morning?" Mother Yuan asked when she saw that Father Yuan and Yuan Dao didn't speak.

"Oh, it's not a big deal," Li Su said.

Yuan Dao had such an expression, as expected.

"I want to divorce," Li Su continued.

Father Yuan and Yuan Dao were shocked. They dropped the teacups in their hands. "Divorce? Why?" Yuan Dao stood up.

"Husband, when you went to my Liu family to propose marriage, in front of my father, didn't you make a promise? Did you forget? You said that I would be the only one forever, and you would never have another." Li Su stared at Yuan Dao. "Father-in-law was there at the time, and he acquiesced, didn't he?"

Yuan Dao's expression was a little distorted.

Father Yuan said in embarrassment, "That is what happened, but aren't you unable to have children? Besides, you agreed to let Mrs. Su marry into the family. What are you saying now?"

"Yeah, that's why I want to divorce. I have been married to the Yuan family for many years, and I have not neglected my duties, except that I have no children. When my father was still alive, I couldn't have children, and no one in the Yuan family blamed me and even comforted me. But my father passed away only half a year ago, and you proposed that my husband marry an equal wife. I don't want to go into detail about the reason. As husband and wife, we should part without hard feelings!" Li Su snorted coldly. After Li Su transmigrated over, she found this key point in the original owner's memory. Liu Qingyun was confused and didn't think about this important point, but it was very clear to Li Su.

Yuan Dao was a little agitated and took two steps forward. "Qingyun, you…" He had feelings for Liu Qingyun. When Liu Qingyun was not yet married, she was a well-known beauty and a talented girl. Her father was also an imperial teacher. Even Prince Yong and Prince Qi intended to ask for her hand in marriage. The Liu family had no intention of getting involved in the battle within the imperial family. After a lot of consideration, Yuan Dao was chosen among the many families seeking marriage with the original owner.

After their marriage, the two did spend many days in loving bliss.

At this point, Yuan Dao didn't want to. But Liu Qingyun had no children, which was unacceptable to Yuan Dao and the Yuan family.

"Qingyun, even if Dao'er married an equal wife, you are still Dao'er's official wife, and the mistress of the Yuan family. The Su family has always been docile and respectful to you, why bother…" Mother Yuan advised.

Li Su smiled. "Pardon me, mother. I understand what you said, but I have been spoiled by my father since I was a child. I can't tolerate sand in my eyes. It has not been easy to endure until today. If my father was alive and he knew of my decision, he would have approved."

Yuan Dao was silent. When imperial teacher Liu was alive, among his children, it was his youngest daughter who looked the most like his deceased wife. She was the one he loved the most. When he was dying, he even gave his private property to Liu Qingyun over his sons.

Those private properties, in addition to some priceless ancient books, calligraphy and paintings, imperial teacher Liu accumulated a lifetime of wealth. He was afraid that after his death, he would not be able to continue to take care of his daughter, so he could only use these common things to protect his daughter.

Although these were not the Yuan family's right now, they would definitely belong to the Yuan family in the future.

In any case, Yuan Dao did not want to divorce.

"Qingyun, say whatever you want, I can promise it to you. You will always be my official wife and the mistress of the Yuan family. No one can change your status. I have discussed this with my father and mother. In the future, Wanrong will give birth to the eldest son and you can adopt it in your name. You can rest assured!" Yuan Dao said.

Su Wanrong had been holding her daughter and was standing behind Yuan Dao with a neither sad nor happy expression, like Liu Qingyun could not affect her. But after hearing this, her expression finally changed. She looked up at Yuan Dao in disbelief.

But Yuan Dao only wanted to salvage things with Liu Qingyun and didn't notice her at all.

Su Wanrong looked at Mother and Father Yuan again. They were nodding their heads, indicating that what Yuan Dao said was true. They were also reluctant to part with the rich dowry and private property that Liu Qingyun had, as well as her status.

Su Wanrong's grip on the child gradually tightened until the child felt pain and started crying.

Li Su heard the child's cry and smiled slightly. She walked to Su Wanrong's side and reached out to touch the child's face. However, Su Wanrong looked wary and ducked back.

Li Su glanced at Yuan Dao and said nothing.

Yuan Dao frowned slightly and said softly, "Wanrong." Although he had not discussed this matter with Wanrong, he believed that with Wanrong's intelligence and knowledge, she should understand his intentions.

In fact, Su Wanrong really understood Yuan Dao's intentions. After all, before entering the family, her family had already analysed the situation in the house for her. She had to stay away from Liu Qingyun, give birth to a few more children, then she wouldn't need to worry about the rest.

When she had just married in, Yuan Dao also told her about his attitude towards Liu Qingyun.

Su Wanrong understood in her heart, but understanding was one thing, accepting it was another. No mother would want to give up her child to someone else, especially when the other party was her own rival.

Li Su smiled. "Husband, don't be too hard on others. I still think that we should divorce!"

In the next few days, no matter who in the Yuan family came to try and persuade her, Li Su still said that she wanted to divorce.

In order to keep her, Yuan Dao originally wanted to demote Su Wanrong's status as equal wife to a concubine, but he didn't expect that Su Wanrong was pregnant again.

Yuan Dao had to give up the idea. The child Su Wanrong was carrying might be his eldest son. If he brought this up at this time… No, he couldn't take this risk.

Yuan Dao wrote a letter to the Liu family and wanted the Liu family to persuade Liu Qingyun. But Li Su didn't read the letter from the Liu family at all. In the end, helpless, the elder brother of the Liu family came to the Yuan family in person, trying to persuade his younger sister. But after Li Su talked to him, the Liu family's eldest brother suddenly changed his mind and supported her decision before he left.

Yuan Dao didn't need to think about it to know. He was afraid it had something to do with the private properties left by his father-in-law.

Li Su promised that, if the Liu family supported her with her divorce, she would return half of the private property left by her father to the Liu family.

Li Su deliberately kept some of her hand a secret and did not say what the other half was. Those priceless ancient books, calligraphy, and paintings, had already been put into the space for storage. Half of what she said was money. She had no shortage of these things.

In the future, there was no need for Li Su to come forward. The plenipotentiary representative of the Liu family was her eldest brother.

After a month, Yuan Dao finally signed the divorce papers.

Li Su took the divorce papers and smiled. The eldest brother of the Liu family also shouted for someone to move Li Su's dowry back to the Liu family. Li Su said, "Don't be busy, eldest brother. I don't plan to go back to Liu family's house. After all, I am a married daughter. Although I divorced, there is no reason to live at my parents' house. Even if older brother and sister-in-law don't dislike this, my nieces and nephews will have their own opinions. I have property and business, so I can live anywhere. I have a manor and I plan to move there. The Liu family's manor is nearby, and there is someone to take care of it. Don't worry, older brother!"

The eldest brother of the Liu family knew that his younger sister always had her own ideas, so he did not force it. However, he still took someone to escort Li Su. It was only after she was delivered safely was he relieved.
