Regarding this answer, Yang Chuxia sneered and snorted, "Grandfather, you treat that bastard woman’s son well, but she didn’t treat your son well. She heartlessly watched your son suffer."
But Old Yang just raised his eyebrows, "Your father isn’t my son either. Only your Fourth Uncle is my son."
Hearing this, Yang Chuxia choked on a mouthful of pancake, "Cough cough... Grandfather, are you joking? If my dad isn’t your son, then Fourth Uncle, who only slightly resembles you, can’t be either."
"But your dad and I have incompatible blood types," Old Yang said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia was rendered speechless. She wanted to mention the blood-testing scam.
"Grandfather, was it Old Lady Hua who told you this and even showed you the proof?"
Old Yang nodded and shook his head, "At first, she did show me, but I didn’t believe it because I know that such things can be faked. Later, I personally took your father’s blood and tested it. There’s no way she could have tampered with it."
"So all these years, you’ve let Old Lady Hua and her children bully my dad because you think he’s not your son?" Yang Chuxia couldn’t help but question aloud.
But this time, Old Man Yang shook his head very definitively, "Whether your father is my son or not, I’ve always treated him as my own child in my heart. I’ve tolerated Ms. Hua just because...."
After hearing Old Yang’s words, Yang Chuxia felt like leaping up.
It turned out that back then, when Old Yang and Yang Dachuan’s mother left the big family, it wasn’t because they didn’t want to serve people anymore. It was because the matriarch of the big family had changed. The previous matriarch was killed by her own younger sister, who then became the new matriarch. And all of this was discovered by the maidservant of the previous matriarch, who happened to be Yang Dachuan’s mother.
So after the funeral ended, Old Yang and his wife resigned from the big family and returned to their hometown.
They thought that everything would be fine after they returned. But one day, the matriarch actually came to Wangquan Town and happened to run into Old Yang and his wife who were out buying stationery for Yang Dachuan.
After seeing the matriarch in town, Old Yang and his wife were frightened and worried about what could happen, but nothing ever did.
However, less than a year after that, Yang Dachuan’s mother died of illness.
Soon after, Old Lady Hua moved in. One day, she got him drunk and extracted information about the money and valuables he had saved. Then the events of Yang Dachuan getting injured and framed for not being his real son happened.
It’s not that he didn’t want to divorce Ms. Hua or that he particularly liked her, but about three months after she moved in, he actually saw her talking to the matriarch’s personal maid.
"So you suspect Old Lady Hua has that matriarch’s backing?"
"I’ve always wondered whether your grandmother really died of illness. Her health had always been good, but it started to deteriorate slowly after that encounter in the town. She died within a year. I even suspect that Ms. Hua is involved, as she frequently visited our house during that period. As for your father, Ms. Hua has never been good to him. I neglected him out of fear that if I showed too much affection, she’d harm him even more. However, even after being cautious after seeing her talking to the matriarch’s personal maid, I couldn’t protect him."
