Chapter 38 – The Story Behind The Villainess Stepmother (2)
Speaking of the name, Yan Shuyu felt that it was all meant to be after she had transmigrated. She had never met anyone that had the same name as herself in her entire life. Her name was picked by her grandfather’s brother who was a college professor. Many said that the name sounded very poetic. And the original owner had the exactly same name as her. Coincidence?
It was surely a good thing that the original owner was able to get away from her poor and stupid family and resumed a new identity so they’d never be able to find her.
Other than the original owner’s identity, the two of them had been together before they have reached legal age. On top of that, she was pregnant before they were married. Both the marriage certificate and Zhang Yuanjia’s birth certificate were challenging issues, but her late husband had them all taken care of. It was because of that that Yan Shuyu didn’t need to worry about any of them after her transmigration.
From this perspective, she truly felt that her instant son’s father was an amazing man. Had he not died so young, he might even because the big boss of a gang. The villainous boss probably got his outstanding hereditary from his father.
If Yan Shuyu was lamenting, Zhong Yuhuan, who was full of yearning for his dad, was definitely filled with pride. Blinking his limpid eyes, he begged, “Mom, can you please tell me more about dad?”
The little kiddo certainly knew how to push the envelope. First he just asked to see his dad, now he wanted to ask about him. Yan Shuyu was going to tease him a little, but, in consideration of his future mental health, she did not turn down his request. She merely brought up her condition, “Okay, but you will have to promise me that you will not bring up daddy again in the future. We will need to get used to life without your daddy and move forward. Alright?”
Zhang Yuanjia bit his lips and finally agreed to her condition, but even at his young age he knew what a fair exchange was, “Okay, but you will have to tell me about everything I want to know!”
Yan Shuyu didn’t try to weasel out of it this time, “I will tell you anything that I know. Okay, go lie down in bed, let me put everything back first.”
Zhang Yuanjia turned around frequently on his way back to bed. Yan Shuyu quickly packed everything back up from the floor and shoved them back inside the drawer before going to the bathroom and washing her hands. After she returned to the side of the bed, she saw that the little kiddo was struggling to keep his eyes open ^__^
Yan Shuyu couldn’t help but smile, “Do you want to take a nap first? We can chat tonight instead?”
Stubbornly, the little boy expressed his desire to carry on right away. Yan Shuyu didn’t need to take naps, so she didn’t care either way. She leaned comfortably on the pillow and said, “Okay, you can ask me whatever you like now.”
As much as he looked up to big hero, Yan Shuyu expected the first question to be what was daddy’s biggest power, instead, the little kiddo sighed and asked in a very adult tone, “Why isn’t dad here with us anymore?”
“Um….” That caught Yan Shuyu a little off guard. She quickly organized her thoughts and said, “Daddy did it all for us. You were still a little baby back then, you needed milk and someone to take care of you, so daddy has to make money to support the three of us. One day he had an accident at work and that’s how he was gone.”
Yan Shuyu felt that she was such a genius to be able to phrase a gangster gun fight in such a refreshing way. After her instant son heard the story, he lowered his head, distressed, and said, “It was all my fault.”
“Of course not. Daddy loved Yuanbao more than anything else. He’d do anything for you.”
Your own daddy was so nice that you didn’t need to be envious of male lead’s daddy, get it? Yan Shuyu was trying as hard as she could to shape her instant son’s positive outlook on this subject.
Zhang Yuanjia was just as curious as any other kids. Given him enough time, he could literally ask 10,000 questions. His little mouth asked all sorts of questions and never stopped for the entire afternoon. He even got gossipy in the end, “How did mom and dad meet?”
“Since we were kids. We grew up together.”
“So mom knew dad when he was Yuanbao’s age?” The little kiddo looked at her, full of surprise, “Was dad as cute as Yuanbao when he was a kid?”
Truth be told, Yan Shuyu did not find any of the original owner’s memory of her late husband when he was a child, possibly because it was too long ago.
The original owner’s memory of him started during her late grade school years just before she started junior high school. Both the original owner and her late husband lived in a poor and remote village that didn’t have a school of their own. After third grade they’d need to go to school in their neighboring village. Everyday they’d have to hike through the hill for about a good part of an hour. There weren’t a lot of girls in the village and even less that was attending school. Every day ,the original owner was walking to and from school, there were always a few boys teasing her. Finally, she had befriended Zhang Xiaolu, a person that most kids tend to avoid, and she was never bullied again.
