At this point, thinking will not solve any of their problems so he needed to act. Yesterday, they had eaten mud for food.
This was not because there was no food available but the moon of the second son with the backing of the rest of the family members, had refused to allow them to have anything from the house.
This was why they usually had to starve or eat mud. Well, that is not happening today, 'not today not ever again', Yue Yan declared in his heart.
He had no plans to eat mud and from Yue Yan's memories there was nothing much to miss there. Hell, fuck his fears. He will not succumb to this nonsense any longer.
Yue Yan took Chen Lui and carried him in his left arm, he used the right to hold Yuyu as he gestured for Tingting to follow him and they walked out of their door. From Chen Yan's memories, he knew his way around the house very well.
Today, he and his family will eat at the dinner table and may God help whoever decides to prevent that from happening.
Chen Yan was known to be a physically strong person before his accident but was never a violent one.
As for Yue Yan, when he is angry, he does not measure his strength against anyone's. And right now, he is very, very angry.
The other family members were yet to sit when Chen Yan and his little family arrived. They were all stunned.
In all of those five years that he was mentally incapacitated, he had never dared to come around the main house let alone dare to join them at the dining table.
The normal sitting arrangement, according to Chen Yan's memories was that, his dad Chen Gu sits at the head of the table and his mama sits on his father's right hand side.
Chen Yan is to sit at the tail of the table as the next family head after his dad while his wife sits at Chen Yan's right hand side too. The rest of the members can sit where ever they want.
As soon as his dad had sat down followed by his mom, the second son was heading towards the tail-end of the table but Chen Yan was faster.
He sat at the tail with Chen Lui on his laps and signaled Wang Ting to put Chen Yu on the closest seat to his left and afterwards Wang Ting sits on his right hand side.
So he and his family sat next to each other. Ignoring the glares, Chen Yan was just playing with the giggling Lulu while they were all waiting on his dad to take the first bite per the traditions so the rest could eat.
Chen Gu, Chen Yan's dad, was fuming at seeing that cursed bastard who dared to show his face at their table with his stinking fools.
He even had the guts to sit right across him. He turned to his second son, Chen Wu, and from his facial expressions Chen Wu understood what he meant.
They still believed that Chen Yan was still the mentally retarded, deaf and dumb fool that he had been for the past five years.
Hence, Wang Ting, his moon was the culprit for his strange behaviour today. He got up from his seat and walked towards the tail-end of the table.
"Wang Ting, what are you and your filthy family doing here? And how dare you and your stinking fools not only shown your ugly faces but to sit at our dining table?
Are you going to have dinner with us here? What gives you the guts to dare do such an atrocious thing?", Chen Wu ranted.
The confused Wang Ting had only followed his husband and he himself had yet to understand what his husband was trying to do.
He turned to look at his husband and kids worriedly.
He wanted to ask that they should leave before the family decides to bully them and scare their children again but he found his husband looking rather calm.
Chen Yan seemed unperturbed by what was happening and was just looking and smiling with their two kids as if the rest at the table did not exist.
Thinking perhaps Yan was in his own world as he usually did, and might not even understand what he was doing or what was happening to him, Ting sighed.
Now he had to face the repercussions of his husband's actions since he was the sane one and should have stopped themselves from coming here and sitting at the table.
He felt sorry that he was not able to do better for his family. He felt helpless and guilty that he was too weak to protect his family and subjected them to the bullyings of others.
Chen Wu yanked Wang Ting's hair and he screamed. He had no option but to get up as Wu was still pulling his hair.
Yan got up and put his second son on his seat. Lulu was niw crying from the scare he got from what was happening to his mom.
Yan grabbed his brother's hand from his wife and twisted it. He pulled his wife behind him and glared at the others at the table, daring anyone to make another move.
His dad, Chen Gu, slammed his hand hard on the dinner table with great anger.
He threw a ceramic mug that was on his side of the dining table at his son-in-law.
Yan saw it and tried to block it by pushing his moon out of the way but it was too late.
The ceramic mug hits Ting on the face. Blood was oozing out of his nose and he lost his bearing. He would have fallen down from the dizziness had it not being for his husband's support.
Seeing the blood, Yan was furious but he still did not want violence.
The previous owner of the body though was very strong was also a very gentle soul and he wanted to handle things like how Chen Yan in his sane mind would have handled it.
