Chapter 68 The Du Family's Past
Du Yujie laughed out loud and expressed his agreement, then said, "Aren't you afraid that Wu Qianqian will know about this?"
Lan Yaoxia also nodded repeatedly, echoing Du Yujie's words: "Yeah, didn't you say that she has a bad temper? What if she really gets angry?"
Facing the doubts of his friends, Li Keyi still smiled and responded nonchalantly: "If she really dares to make trouble, that's perfect. I hope this marriage won't happen!"
Li Keyi really had no expectations for this upcoming marriage.
Lan Yaoxia smiled faintly: "Old Li, aren't you worried that life will become a mess after marriage?"
Li Keyi replied with a nonchalant smile: "What are you afraid of? I am a veteran in the love field for many years. What is there that I can't let go of?"
"If Wu Qianqian dares to make trouble, let her do it. I don't care anyway. If she doesn't make trouble, it will save us a lot of trouble!"
Du Yujie at the side couldn't help but tease: "Old Li, your idea is really avant-garde!"
Li Keyi turned to look at him and asked curiously, "Hey, Ajie, you must have had a lot of fun these years, but why haven't I ever heard your family talk about you?"
Du Yujie waved his hand casually and said nonchalantly: "My parents have always loved me. Besides, I am the only child in the family."
"Even if I have something going on outside, my dad will never let my mom know!"
After hearing this, Li Keyi couldn't help but sigh: "Wow, you are much more free and easy than me!"
At this time, Lan Yaoxia thought of Du Yujie's mother, and asked with concern: "By the way, how is Aunt Qiao's health recently?"
In fact, Lan Yaoxia and Li Keyi both knew that Du Yujie's mother had always been in poor health.
When they were in school, they often went to Du Yujie's house to play together, so they also knew something about his mother, Aunt Qiao.
Du Yujie said: "It's okay, it's the same as before, there are many foods that need to be avoided. My father doesn't let her eat those things, but my mother will be angry about it."
"In the end, I had no choice but to listen to my father. After all, my mother is not in good health. If she eats certain foods by mistake, she may have to be hospitalized."
Li Keyi sighed: "After so many years, your body still hasn't recovered?"
Du Yujie replied helplessly: "How can it be so easy to recover? My dad said that my mom has had a weak constitution since she was a child, and she has been working hard to recover since she married my dad."
"I had originally planned to wait until my body recovered before having a child, but who could have expected that I would be pregnant so soon."
Du Yujie went on to say: "After my mother gave birth to me, she stayed in the hospital for nearly half a year."
“This really distressed my father.”
Li Keyi asked jokingly: "When you found out you were pregnant, didn't your parents ever think about aborting you?"
Du Yujie replied: "How could I not have thought about it? My father was worried that my mother would not be able to give birth to me smoothly, and he kept persuading my mother to have an abortion."
Du Yujie sighed deeply: "Fortunately, my mother said that whether giving birth or aborting the child will cause damage to the body, so in this case, it is better to give birth to the child."
Then he turned to look at Lan Yaoxia and Li Keyi and said, "Otherwise, you two will lose my good buddy!"
Lan Yaoxia sighed, "Aunt Qiao must have suffered a lot when she gave birth to you."
Du Yujie responded: "Not only that! You don't know, when my father first married my mother, our family had a shocking incident."
Hearing this, Li Keyi immediately pricked up his ears, pretending to be ready to eat melons, and asked curiously, "What's the big deal?"
Lan Yaoxia was also full of curiosity and stared at Du Yujie, expecting him to continue speaking.
At this moment, perhaps because of the alcohol, Du Yujie finally couldn't help but open his mouth: "In fact, even if I don't say it, you probably know that my ancestors were pirates."
Li Keyi smiled and said, "I've heard of this. Then what?"
Du Yujie continued, "Back then, it was still a feudal dynasty! Because they wanted to fight a naval battle with the foreign devils, but the court was extremely corrupt and incompetent, and they couldn't even put together a complete set of ships for the war."
"So they turned their attention to the pirates in the coastal areas and tried to recruit them. It was at that time that my ancestor chose to submit to the imperial court and served as the governor of the navy."
"However, as time went by and the world changed, by the time it was passed down to my grandfather's generation, our family had already become an ordinary fishing family."
"The family's original wealth has long since disappeared, leaving only a few dilapidated tiled houses." At this point, Du Yujie couldn't help but sigh softly.
"But fortunately, the era of reform and opening up finally arrived, and my father's generation was able to rise again."
"My dad has had an extraordinary business acumen since he was young, but he was always accused by my grandfather of 'speculation and profiteering'." Du Yujie continued with a wry smile.
Lan Yaoxia said calmly, "The ideas of the older generation are indeed hard to compliment."
Du Yujie silently lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, exhaled the smoke slowly, and continued: "At that time, my grandparents favored my eldest uncle and my younger uncle."
"My dad, as the second child in the family, was neglected and unwelcome. Because of these things, there was always a sense of alienation between my dad and them."
"Just then, something happened..." Du Yujie's voice was low and carried a hint of anger.
Hearing this, Li Keyi and Lan Yaoxia couldn't help but look at each other. Their expressions became more serious, for fear of missing any key information.
Du Yujie blew out a puff of smoke and continued, "My parents just got married, but they did it secretly without telling their family."
"At that time, my grandfather's family insisted that my father take my mother back to their hometown to meet the elders."
At this point, Du Yujie's face gradually turned red, and his anger was evident in his words. "After my dad brought my mom back home, my grandma immediately put on a mean face and made things difficult for my mom as soon as she saw that my mom was petite and a little weak."
"My dad was so angry that he almost overturned the table on the spot!" Du Yujie clenched his fists tightly, as if he wanted to vent the anger in his heart.
"Later, they found out that my mother had married from the capital, and that damn old woman even wanted my mother to wash her feet!"
