This is a photograph from twenty years ago, although Qi Chunlan has preserved it well, the old photograph has already turned yellow and aged.
At that ti, the couple hadn’t discovered that they were expecting their second child. They went on a mission to Rong District, where a cultural troupe accompanied them, making it a rare occasion for the couple to travel together, and they captured nostalgic monts in Rong District.
At that ti, the wife was still a good wife and a good mom. However, after discovering she was pregnant with the second child, her emotions fluctuated greatly. If it wasn’t for his and Old Yan’s extre joy, he felt that his wife might have directly said she didn’t want it.
Sotis when he ca ho late at night, he could always find traces of tears in the corners of his wife’s eyes.
Moreover, her pregnancy appearance was not good, and he had always been in touch with her gynecologist.
Reflecting on the old tis, he realized that he had truly made a mistake.
The outside world had indeed dazzled his wife’s eyes, causing her to lose her true self. She forgot her duty to be a good wife, and her role as a mother.
It was truly his fault; everything was his neglect, his indulgence!
"You bla ! You resent !" Qi Chunlan saw the disappointnt in Yan Dongsheng’s eyes and could no longer control the words buried deep in her heart:
"Have you ever thought about how hard it has been for in your family? Your Dad looked down on . If it weren’t for my grandfather saving you back then, you wouldn’t have married at all! I was alone in your family, no one understood , everyone said I was a sparrow turned phoenix—"
Qi Chunlan clenched her fists, glaring at her husband: "What about is not worthy of you? In terms of background, your family is from the old revolutionaries, isn’t mine the sa? Yes, your family has money, and I, Qi Chunlan, married up! But my Qi family has also helped yours. Back when the Yan Family was criticized, my Qi family also contributed a lot!"
Yan Dongsheng silently shifted his gaze towards her, and saw her crying bitterly as she continued lanting:
"When you were on missions in the military, sotis I couldn’t see you even three tis a month, I was so lonely at ho! It was rare for Old Yan to allow to work, although it was in the military, at least I wasn’t idle! I could do my favorite thing every day, singing. I was dedicated, so what?"
Seeing her husband’s completely indifferent appearance, Qi Chunlan scread even more fiercely:
"When you are on missions, it’s your career, it’s for the honor of the country! Whereas when I sing in the military, isn’t that my career too?
I didn’t know I was pregnant again; at that ti, the group was selecting a new lead vocalist, I clearly had the best chance to be the lead vocalist, but because of this unexpected pregnancy, I missed the opportunity. Do you know how resentful I felt at that mont?!"
Qi Chunlan cried uncontrollably.
Back then, she was just a young lady in her twenties, often without her husband beside her, finally got a job she loved, singing, she didn’t know how happy she was. But just a little over a year into the job, she unexpectedly got pregnant again!
If it wasn’t known to Old Yan and her husband, maybe at that ti, she would have secretly aborted the child!
Later on, everything was an accident, she didn’t expect the consequences to be so despairing!
"Chun Lan, if you had been willing to be open and honest back then, we as a couple, wouldn’t have co to this point."
Quietly listening to his wife’s resentful complaints, Yan Dongsheng’s expression was nearly cracked.
It was just being the lead vocalist of a cultural troupe, if Qi Chunlan had the capability, for the Yan Family, it really wasn’t a problem.
"You all bla , bla ..." Qi Chunlan threw herself onto the bed, crying while weakly pounding the quilt, cried fiercely for ten minutes, and her husband didn’t coax her at all, she turned her head angrily and harshly cursed:
"I’m telling you Old Yan, if you dare to bring her back, if she’s here, I won’t be!"
"You, are unreasonable!" Yan Dongsheng upon hearing this, was furious enough to bulge his eyes and blow his beard—problem is, he didn’t have a beard.
Moreover, after what happened with Qi Chunlan, could they still hope that Zhang Shan Ni would want to acknowledge her ancestry?
"Hehe, I am unreasonable, who let her snatch Shishi’s nutrients?"
"They are all your children, why are you so unfairly biased!"
"Nonsense! She wants to compare with my Shishi? She’s just a country girl raised by a peasant, how can she compare to my Shishi? If not for her, why would Shishi have been sick since childhood!"
After all, one son has been favored and raised by her side for nearly twenty years, another is a village girl she never raised a day, who is close and who is distant, there’s really no need for further discussion.
Yan Dongsheng laughed internally, he indeed spoke nonsense.
Qi Chunlan looked at Yan Dongsheng with a gloomy gaze, breaking the jar and said: "Don’t you dare defend her in front of ! Our Shishi has suffered from illnesses for so many years, all because of her!"
Isn’t this nit-picking, can’t you let it go?
Yan Dongsheng finally looked disappointedly at his wife crying heartbrokenly on the bed, exhaustedly said "As you wish," and dejectedly left the bedroom.
Qi Chunlan paused, dumbfoundedly lifted her head, looking at the empty room and the tightly closed door, screaming and yelling: "Yan Dongsheng! Co back to !"
Standing behind the door, Yan Dongsheng, hearing the sound from inside, felt endless self-reproach.
No matter what, as a man, as a husband, as a dad, not handling dostic affairs well, it was his inadequacy.
He thought giving her so leeway usually, she would eventually realize where the focus of the family should be.
Three years ago when he found out she was retiring, he was genuinely happy at heart. But in fact, the outco he learned afterwards made him very disappointed.
But with regards to family stability, his wife willing to step back was ultimately a good thing, so he didn’t want to delve into the reasons anymore.
"You all say it’s my fault, bla for not being a good mom, then what about you, Yan Dongsheng, have you been a good husband, a good dad?"
"When you get angry, you just ignore , never considering my feelings. I alone have to watch your old dad’s face, your face, and take care of the children. Have you ever cared about how I feel?"
"Other husbands occasionally take ti out to accompany their wives and family, over so many years, have you ever stayed for ? Apart from being your wife, the mother of your children, I am also a woman, do you know?"
"Over so many years, let alone ordinary holidays, even our wedding anniversary... you never rembered, my birthday, the kids’ birthdays, which one have you rembered?"
"Yan Dongsheng, co back, co back and make it clear, don’t keep tornting with a blunt knife! I am a woman, needing a man’s protection and affection!"
Qi Chunlan cried even more heartbrokenly, as Yan Dongsheng was no longer there, she cursed very freely, and even vented words suppressed in her heart for over a decade—
