9. Educated Youth Who Abandoned Their Wives and Children
"Do you remember this ginkgo tree? When you were a child, you liked me holding you and picking the ginkgo nuts from the tree. There is also this well and this big iron cover. I was worried that you would fall into the well when you were too young to play, so I asked the blacksmith to make it for you."
Yan Xun looked at his son who had grown up to be a handsome man. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say. He could only pull him to recall his childhood. These memories were the happy memories that Yan Xun repeatedly recalled during the years of labor reform on the farm. They were replayed in his mind over and over again, and had become one with his body.
Yan Chu stared at this familiar courtyard for a few seconds. If he remembered correctly, this courtyard had appeared frequently in his original body's memory, but not in those unclear memories of his childhood, but in the new house where his stepfather's family moved after he returned to the capital after the college entrance examination in his previous life.
It was this magnificent courtyard in front of him.
He remembered what his biological mother Gao Yaqin said at the time, that this courtyard was bought by them later. Now thinking about it, there are still doubts about all this.
His stepfather Jiang Cheng is a section-level cadre in the government. He has a little power in the political center of the capital, but he is definitely not a very powerful person.
His biological mother Gao Yaqin was born well, but unfortunately the Gao family fell into decline in the war years ago, and the family background is far less than that of the Yan family. At the beginning, Yan Xun was willing to abide by the marriage contract and marry her, and was praised by everyone for his kindness. Now Gao Yaqin is a logistics teacher in the university. The couple's salary is good, but they are definitely not enough to buy a courtyard house.
The original body ignored too many things at that time, such as the several houses that suddenly appeared in his family during the years when he was sent to the countryside, and how his stepfather got a large amount of funds to go into business after the reform and opening up. All of this is probably closely related to the original body.
If he guessed correctly, it was very likely that the man standing in front of him had been vindicated in his previous life, and like in this life, the state returned part of the confiscated finances. This part of the inheritance should have been given to Yan Xun's only heir, the original body, but his so-called biological mother and stepfather coveted the property that originally belonged to him, and used this money as capital, which became the first initial capital for the Jiang family to become rich.
At this time, Yan Chu had to sympathize with the original body. It was not reasonable to covet the wealth of the Jiang family. Now, it turned out that those properties were cheated from him without his consent. In the end, he was stained with a reputation of betrayal and ingratitude, and he did not end well.
In this way, it was completely understandable that the original body hated that family.
However, Yan Chu looked at his shy and reserved wife who was holding his hand. In the previous life, he abandoned his wife and children, and the original body was still a scumbag without explanation.
The father and son reunited after a long separation, and they learned that their daughter-in-law was pregnant with the third generation of the Yan family. During this period before school started, the Yan family was full of laughter every day.
Especially Yan's father, the state not only returned part of the property that was confiscated at the beginning, but also compensated him for the salary he should have as a university professor during the years of labor reform. This money alone added up to nearly 30,000 yuan. Yan Xun seemed to want to make up for all the money he owed his son over the years. New clothes and new shoes are the most basic, and there are jewelry and watches. He wanted to equip his son and daughter-in-law from toes to hair and give them all the best.
In comparison, the Jiang family's life was not so happy.
"Do you know that your ex-husband is back?"
Jiang Cheng threw his briefcase on the sofa as soon as he got home, and questioned the woman sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"What, Yan Xun is back, didn't he go to labor reform?" Gao Yaqin frowned and asked in confusion. She hadn't thought of her ex-husband for a long time. Recalling the scene when she first met him, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
That man was too dazzling, so dazzling that it made people feel inferior. When Gao Yaqin knew that such a man would become her future husband, she was really happy in her heart, but gradually, these joys turned into dissatisfaction.
For that man, she seemed to be a decoration that could be shown off. He was very good to her and never had any ambiguous relationship with his female students, but Gao Yaqin always felt that something was missing. He loved books and spent more time reading than with her. Especially after having a child, he turned more attention to the child.
He was not enthusiastic about sex. He had sex twice a week as a routine. Even at the climax, his expression was very restrained and he maintained the original frequency until the end. Gao Yaqin was fed up with the tepid sex. In an accident, she went to bed with the man in front of her. Jiang Cheng was very domineering and rude in bed, but he made Gao Yaqin really taste the taste of being a woman.
The first time, she felt guilty and a little scared, but after the first time, there was a second time, and gradually, she felt no guilt. It was also under the instigation of the other party that she anonymously reported her husband, just to be able to stay with the person she loved.
That Yan Xun was also stupid. He secretly gave her a box of gold bars before the accident. With some money she saved when she was the head of the family and the antiques of the Yan family that she hid in advance, she lived a comfortable life these years. Except for the eldest son and Yan Chu left by Jiang Cheng’s ex-wife, there was almost nothing to worry about, especially the twins she gave birth to Jiang Cheng later. They were her pride and all she could give.
But what Jiang Cheng just said, Yan Xun came back, thinking about what she did to her eldest son, Gao Yaqin couldn't help feeling guilty.
At this time, they didn't know that Yan Chu was admitted to college and came back, and they didn't know that Yan Chu had already been in contact with Yan Xun. In their opinion, Yan Chu was still staying in the ravine. If you come to find someone, just say that the child volunteered to go to the countryside to jump in the queue.
"You don't know yet." Jiang Cheng rubbed his hair and sat down on the sofa. A trace of deep jealousy flashed in his eyes: "Yan Xun not only came back, but also returned most of the properties that he had confiscated. A set of Not to mention the courtyard house at the root of the Imperial City and the small western-style building on Tonghua Road, not to mention these two properties, the other suites are said to be in good locations, large and spacious, and there are also some confiscated antiques. I don’t know except for some of them. Was it destroyed during the Cultural Revolution or was it stolen and not given back? I finally returned a small part of it. I heard that when Yan Xun went to pick up the things, he brought out two full boxes. "
Jiang Cheng was a little annoyed. He was able to reach this position only by raping others along the way. Over the years, as those people were rehabilitated one after another, his life was very difficult. He was worried that this position would be taken away at any time.
Why did Yan Xun come back alive? If he was rehabilitated after his death, wouldn't all those things be his?
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but sigh. He didn't know that according to the original trajectory, everything would indeed develop as he imagined.
"Why, you regret that you followed me in the first place, or else you would still be your Mrs. Yan at this time."
Jiang Cheng himself could regret it, but he couldn't bear to see his woman look melancholy and shocked. The most satisfying thing in his life was probably that as a rebel with a junior high school diploma, he took over the daughter-in-law of an intellectual and a great professor. As long as he thought of Gao Yaqin once That man was so aloof. Every time he fucked that woman, it was particularly exciting when he watched her being obsessed with her. This gave him a special sense of accomplishment.
This is why he has had other women younger and more beautiful than Gao Yaqin in recent years, but she has always been Mrs. Jiang. You must know that as a small leader of the rebels in the capital, Jiangcheng still had a very important position in this area in the early years. In other words, in these years, he had to tuck his tail between his legs and be honest and dormant.
"What are you talking about? You don't know how I feel about you. If it weren't for you, I would have written a letter to punish him, and even sent my own son to the countryside for your son."
Gao Yaqin is a smart person. She knows that Yan Xun will never forgive her if she knows what she really wanted to do and how she treated Yan Chu's child all these years. If she shows any regret now, she will probably be divided. Unpleasant.
"I know you are good to me, I remember all this."
Women have to be coaxed. Jiang Cheng took Gao Yaqin's well-maintained but no longer young hands, brought them to his mouth and kissed them, which made Gao Yaqin angry.
"By the way, have you been in contact with Yan Chu's child recently? I'm afraid that child will have a hard time in the country. You can send him more food and clothing to let the child know that you, as a mother, still care about him. "
Jiang Cheng's eyes flickered. Yan Chu still had some feelings for Gao Yaqin, his biological mother. Even if he was angry when he went to the countryside, the anger should be gone by now. If Gao Yaqin sells better at this time, the idiot can't stand it. Like a dog with meat and bones, it catches up with its tongue sticking out.
"I know that I had no choice but to send that child to the countryside in the first place. He came out of my belly, and I love him more than anyone else."
Gao Yaqin knew everything after hearing it, and suddenly understood her husband's little plan.
Yan Xun is not young, so if nothing else, Yan Chu is his only son.
The couple looked at each other and smiled, full of calculations.
