Chapter 367: Yang Yi, Yang Tie

Upon hearing Mo Feis question, Yang Qing and Yang Huan exchanged a glance, and finally let Yang Huan explain.

She pulled Mo Fei a little closer, lowered her voice, and said, Big sister-in-law, its like this. You may not know, my dad was originally an outsider. When my big brother was born, he never thought about staying in our Wudaokou village for a lifetime. He was determined to leave, saying that he had important things to do. He asked my mom to wait at home with the child, and when he came back, he would take my mom and big brother away. My mom couldnt persuade him, so she angrily named big brother Yang Tiexin.

Later, I dont know why my dad changed his mind and decided to stay and live a happy life with my mom. So, my mom felt that it was inappropriate for big brother to still be called this name, so she removed the character Xin and changed it to Yang Tie. Speaking of this, my dad lied to big brother for more than ten years, telling him that he was named this because he lacked gold in his five elements. It was only later when my mom let it slip that we knew the truth.

Yang Huan couldnt help but want to laugh. She glanced at Yang Chonggui and whispered, Big sister-in-law, dont mention this to my dad. Hes someone who cares a lot about face.

Mo Fei nodded, but still asked in confusion, But isnt Yang Yis name written with the yi character next to the che character? How come its the tie character next to the jin character?

Character for Yi:

Character for Tie:

Yang Huan chuckled and said, This involves an erroneous case. In the year when big brother was born, the registration officers at the police station werent as literate as they are now. Some of them didnt know as many characters as my dad. At that time, my mom took the slip with the name my dad wrote for my brother to register the household registration in the town. As a result, someone, I dont know who, copied my brothers name wrong, and Yang Tie became Yang Yi

Yang Chonggui has always disliked dealing with the government. He asked Dong Yuee to take Yang Yi, who was already two or three years old, to register for the household by herself. It was very normal to register for the household late at that time, and when the household registration book was obtained, it was thrown at home and never looked at until Yang Yi entered elementary school.

At that time, there was no elementary school in the village, and to enroll in the towns primary school, they needed to check the household register. It was then that everyone discovered that Yang Yis name was wrong!

It was estimated that the previous name Yang Tiexin still made Yang Chonggui feel a bit uncomfortable. He took the initiative to propose that changing his household registration would be troublesome, so he might as well leave it as it is and let Yang Tie change his name to Yang Yi!

Later, big brothers name was changed, and the family genealogy was also changed to Yang Yi. Its just that my dad, and my mom, they called him Teizi for many years and got used to it. They cant change their habit, Yang Huan said with a smile.

So thats how it was, Mo Fei also showed a smile. Just as she was about to speak, Yang Chonggui suddenly called out, Ouch!

Mo Fei turned her head to look and saw that it was Xixi who was pulling her grandpas beard and hurting Yang Chonggui. The little girl didnt know until her grandpa called out. She hurriedly let go, looking embarra.s.sed as if she had done something wrong.

Xixi, you cant pull Grandpas beard, its impolite! Mo Fei scolded anxiously.

Grandpa, Im sorry. Xixi said with a small pout, Ill blow on it for you, and it wont hurt anymore!

Its okay, dont blame the child, I was teasing her. Yang Chonggui waved his hand, but he didnt raise his head. He just kept looking at Xixis self-blaming pitiful appearance, and smiled happily.

Ive never seen my dad smile like that before. Yang Huan said with some envy.

He hasnt smiled so much all year round Yang Qing also muttered in a low voice.

Dong Yuee had already prepared breakfast, although the quant.i.ty was not enough, everyone had a simple meal together. Yang Yi had just returned, and there was luggage to unpack, and the room also needed to be tidied up by himself, so he and Mo Fei took Xixi to the fourth floor.

Qingzi, Huanhuan, you two go and catch that capon. Well have chicken tonight. Dong Yuee sent the two siblings away, and then eagerly told Yang Chonggui the information she had learned.

I knew this kid, not serving in the military outside, must have done something no good after leaving! Yang Chonggui hadnt heard the end yet, but he was already so angry that he was panting like a red-eyed bull, When he comes down later, if I dont break the ruler at home, Im not his father!

What are you in a hurry for? I havent finished yet! Tiezi didnt do it on purpose, he didnt even know the child was conceived Dong Yuee finished the rest, and then scolded, You have a bad temper, I usually dont bother scolding you for it. But today, if I hadnt stopped you, would you ask him in front of the child if she is his biological daughter?

Yang Chonggui remained silent. He knew he was wrong, but he had never admitted his mistakes.

Yang Chonggui, youre someone whos been to school, how come you dont know a bit of reason? When you hear something thats not to your liking, you start shouting and threatening. Dont you know that you might scare the child? Dong Yuee said incessantly.

Im not scaring the child. Im talking about Teizi. The child is so old now, and he only just brought her home. What will the neighbors say about our old Yang family? Moreover, our old Yang family has always been upright and honest. We dont have descendants like him who mess around with other peoples daughters and then refuse to take responsibility! Yang Chonggui said discontentedly.

Alright, alright. I cant control how you discipline Tiezi, but on the childs side, you need to pay attention to your att.i.tude. Be careful with your words, dont let the child be afraid when she sees you! Dong Yuee didnt see Yang Chonggui playing with Xixi in the lobby before, and she kept reminding him.

I know. Yang Chonggui had no intention of explaining, and he waved his hand impatiently.

Dong Yuee patted her thigh and exclaimed, Ah, I forgot to ask Tiezi just now. Look at how much stuff he brought back today, theres old mountain ginseng, deer antler

Whats the big deal? Im his father, its only natural for my son to show filial piety to me! Yang Chonggui hummed somewhat proudly.

You dont manage the household or handle the money, what do you know? Dong Yuee said unhappily, That Zheng Lao Er from Zhengjia Village, he fell down the mountain the year before last. Fortunately, his family had an old ginseng that saved his life, and he was rushed to the county in time for treatment. Do you know how much that ginseng of his family is worth? Someone offered him like a million and he still didnt want to sell it!

Where did Teizi get so much money? Yang Chonggui finally became suspicious, and he frowned and said.

Yes, hes giving money to build a house at home, and hes driving such a big car, it wouldnt be Mo Fei who gave it to him, would it? Dong Yuee pondered.

He dares? Using a womans money, he doesnt feel ashamed, but I feel too embarra.s.sed to face our Yang familys ancestors! Yang Chonggui slapped the table in anger.

Dad, what are you getting excited about? Yang Huan, who had just caught the chicken, heard Yang Chongguis loud roar as soon as she came in. She smiled and said, You all misunderstood, big brothers money, he earned it all by himself. Hes writing novels now, and hes making a lot of money!

Writing novels? Both Yang Chonggui and Dong Yuee looked puzzled.

Yang Chonggui did know what a novel was, and he asked in confusion, Theres money to be made from writing that stuff?

Yes! Dad, times are different now. Writing novels, as long as a lot of people enjoy reading, you can make a lot of money! Yang Huan turned her head and ran to her luggage, prepared to show Yang Chonggui the two books written by Yang Yi. One Soldier a.s.sault and the other Drawing Sword.

These two books big brother wrote are very popular, Yang Huan said with a smile, I heard that a director is planning to make his story into a TV series.

Dong Yuee knew about TV series and such. In the small shop at the east end of the village, people gather around the TV to watch dramas all day. But it seemed too distant for them, and the two elders had no concept of what was so great about it.

Yang Chonggui was interested in these two books. He opened them and took a look, especially when he saw that Drawing Sword was about the plot of the War of Resistance, he became even more eager to continue reading. After flipping through a few pages, he was quickly attracted by Li Yunlong, a character who was righteous and refined despite his rough exterior.

However, Yang Chonggui soon threw the book aside, because Xixis voice came from the stairs.

Grandpa, Grandpa! She called out happily, her clear voice was even more pleasant than any oriole!

The little one was coming down!
