Chapter 179 - 179

Chapter 179 The Power of RumorsUnbeknownst to the rest of the Yun family, Yun Ting already has a child.Waiting for Father Yun Mother Yun returned from grocery shopping. On the way, someone asked, " Old Yun, is Yun Mu's name? I heard your fourth son brought his girlfriend and child back?""Yes, I brought my boyfriend home," she replied with a smile, then immediately realized, "What? What child? Where's the child?""Oh? Isn't that right? That's what they said!""Oh dear, which scoundrel spread such rumors? She has a boyfriend, but where is the child? They're not even married yet! Isn't this ruining my daughter's reputation?"At this moment, Mother Yun no longer felt happy as she had at the beginning.Seeing Tao Chunju's dark expression, the other party dared not say anything more.When I got home, Duan Xingye and Yun Tingwere already up.The two of them were sitting there reading!Duan Xingye originally wanted to find some work, but the place was so clean and tidy, and there was no firewood to chop for the coal stove!As he paced back and forth inside and outside the house, Yun Ting asked him in confusion, "What are you looking for?""Let me see if there's any work to do."Yun Ting was both amused and exasperated. "Just stay put. There's no work for you to do. Don't worry, my mom has definitely got my dad under control. She won't make things difficult for you."It has to be said that Yun Ting knows her parents very well.Father Yun When Mother Yun returned, she had composed herself and did not tell Yun Ting and the others about the rumors outside, so as not to affect her mood."Mom, let me help you.""Auntie, I can help too," Duan Xingye quickly said."Alright, you two don't need to help, I can manage on my own."Yun Ting ignored her and went straight to the kitchen, leaving Duan Xingye to keep her father company.The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing in the kitchen, while Duan Xingye felt extremely uncomfortable outside, frequently glancing towards the kitchen."What? Does our sofa have thorns?" Father Yunsneered."Uncle, you're joking. I just wanted to help.""Alright, that's enough with her and her daughter. We don't need you. Let's have a chat.""Yes, Dad..." Realizing his mistake, he quickly apologized before Father Yun could speak, "Sorry, Uncle, I misspoke..."Father Yun didn't hold it against him."I'm asking you, what do your family members think of Xiao Si? Is there anything they're dissatisfied with?""Uncle, that's absolutely not true. Our family all like her very much. If you don't believe me, go toCapital City and see for yourself.""That's good. You know the nature of your profession. Although I deeply respect the military, I selfishly don't want my daughter to become a military wife...""Uncle, I…" Duan Xingye interrupted him anxiously."Let me finish. I'm not trying to stop you two from being together. I know my daughter well. She's independent and has her own ideas. Once she decides to be with you, she won't change her mind, unless you betray her, then you'll really have no chance.""Uncle, I will never betray her in this lifetime. No amount of promises will change anything. You will see.""In the future, when you get married, there will be many times when she needs you, but you may not be able to be there for her, whether she's sick or giving birth..."This is what Father Yun was worried about. Although he knew that his daughter was strong and independent and wouldn't be so sentimental, he still felt sorry for her. So, as a father, he was selfish and didn't want his daughter to go through these things.He would rather she find someone with an ordinary job who could spend more time with her, but he also respects his daughter's choice.Actually, there's nothing wrong with Duan Xingye. His family background and personal qualities are quite good. But he's a soldier. He not only has family responsibilities, but he also shoulders the heavy responsibility of defendingthe country.Duan Xingye had also thought about these things. He knew that his profession meant he couldn't spend much time with Yun Ting, but he was still selfishly unwilling to give up."Uncle, I know all this. I will try my best to mediate. Anyway, I will definitely be a good husband and a good father.""Alright, I know. Don't make the atmosphere so heavy, or they'll think I did something to you and they'll scold me.""No, I'll explain for you, Uncle. Let me make you some tea!"That concludes this topic."Wow, you're a soldier who can even make tea?""Uncle, I know a lot more. You'll find out later.""Haha, then I'll wait and see."Yun Ting was also looking out from the kitchen.Mother Yun shook her head helplessly, "Don't worry! Your dad won't make things difficult forXiao Duan.""Who said I was worried about that? I just heard Dad laughing so loudly and I was curious about what they were talking about.""I'll have your sister and the others come back tonight so we can have dinner together and get to know Xiao Duan.""Even if you don't tell me, I'm still going to find my sister.""When I go grocery shopping, I'll stop by the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and tell your sister, so you won't have to make another trip. We can talk about it tonight."There were only the four of them at home at noon, but Mother Yun still cooked four dishes, plus the roast duck they brought back, and cut one up." Xiao Duan, there are only four of us today, so let's make do with these few dishes for now. We'll cook more when your older brother and sister come back tonight.""Auntie, this is already quite a lot. There's no need to make too much, we can't finish it anyway."Indeed, with the roast duck, there were already five dishes, and most of them were meat dishes, which wasn't bad for this day and age."After dinner, take Xiao Duan out for a walk. Don't stay at home all the time, it's so boring.""Mom, I know."There's not much to do outside, but it's nice to get some fresh air."Come on! Take me to see the place where you've lived since you were a child..."Duan Xingye followed Yun Ting out the door.They were bound to run into some acquaintances on the street, but what the two people involved said left them completely bewildered…For example, "Little Si brought his girlfriend home? Why didn't you bring your child out? Is your mom taking care of her?"The person who asked this question was Aunt Fang, who has a pretty good relationship withTao Chunju." Aunt Fang, where did I get a child? I'm not even married yet!""No, everyone's saying you came back with your boyfriend and child!"Yun Ting:...Seeing the expression on her face, Aunt Fangimmediately realized that this might be a misunderstanding. "Oh dear, who's been spreading this gossip? Isn't this just nonsense?"" Aunt Fang, this is my boyfriend, Duan Xingye, but we don't actually have a child yet!"" Hello, Aunt Fang...""Okay, come visit Aunt Fang's house with Xiao Si when you have time!""Okay, Aunt Fang, we'll be going now."Aunt Fang watched them leave together and sighed, "What a handsome man and a beautiful woman! They're such a perfect match!""Little Fourth Sister, where are you planning to take me?"" Duan Xingye, are you itching for a beating?""Why does everyone call you Xiao Si? Xiao Yun, Xiao Ting, or Ting Ting are all fine!""Say it again...""Okay, I won't say anything more."Perhaps because it's close to the end of the year, although the weather was cold, there were still quite a few people there, and it was very lively.With many small vendors now setting up stalls,the Supply and Marketing Cooperative is not as crowded as it used to be."Would you like to go in and meet your future sister-in-law?"
