Chapter 1155 The Song Family's In-Laws

Perhaps realizing she had no way to escape, the woman became quiet after entering the room.

She glanced around the yard in front of her, noting that it was small and not very well-off. She pursed her lips, but her eyes flashed with apprehension.

What if Song Xin's son doesn't have much money and doesn't want to raise the child?

In any case, she's definitely not taking the child back with her.

Shu Yu entered the main room and saw Meng Yunzheng and the others there. They were all confused when they saw them and the child in Shu Yu's arms.

"What's going on? Who is this?" Meng Pei asked.

Shu Yu put the child down and gestured towards the woman with her chin, "I don't know either, ask her."

The woman glanced around at everyone in the room. Good. Although they didn't look rich, they were at least better off than her family. Raising a child shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thinking of this, the woman felt a little relieved and looked up to ask, "Which of you... is Song Xin's son?"

Upon hearing the name Song Xin, both Meng Pei and Meng Yunzheng frowned.

A moment later, Meng Yunzheng stepped forward and said, "I am."

The woman looked him over and over, "You do look a bit like your mother."

"You know my mother?" Meng Yunzheng asked, somewhat surprised.

The woman nodded. "I've met her twice. Even if you've only seen her once, you'll remember her."

Shu Yu heard that her words seemed quite reasonable and without any malice, so she smiled and greeted her, "Since you know Aunt Song, Auntie, just say so. Why are you running outside? Please sit down for a while, and we can talk about it slowly."

She asked Yingxi to help pour tea.

To be honest, the woman was really tired from the journey, and she gulped down a cup of water in one go.

Shu Yu noticed with her sharp eyes that the woman's hands were trembling slightly.

She appeared calm on the surface, but was actually very nervous inside.

She didn't say much, but poured another glass of warm water, squatted down, and fed it to the child.

The child in front of her still looked blank, but when Shu Yu fed him water, he obediently opened his mouth, drank half a cup, and then shook his head.

After they both drank some water, Meng Yunzheng asked, "May I ask how you should address my aunt? And how did you meet my mother?"

The woman put down her cup, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "My husband's surname is Hong, you can just call me Aunt Hong. As for how your mother and I met..." She paused, her voice lowering a few decibels, "Our Hong family is considered in-laws of the Song family. My husband is your aunt's brother."

Meng Yunzheng was taken aback.

He knew all the members of the Song family.

Song's mother had two sons and one daughter: Song Laoda, Song Xin, and Song Qing, who was only one year younger than Song Xin.

Song Xin's parents treated her badly. Seeing that she was beautiful, they had always planned for her to marry a rich man. It was because of this that Song Xin was arranged by them to be Gong Qiu's mistress.

Song Laoda is four years older than Song Xin. Because Song's parents instilled in him from a young age that his younger sister was only meant to marry a rich man and then subsidize him, Song Laoda subconsciously always regarded Song Xin as his future money bag.

So much so that when he reached marriageable age, he would refuse any introductions of girls to him.

He wanted to wait until Song Xin grew up and married a rich man, so that his own status would rise accordingly, and he could marry a girl from a well-off family.

Therefore, when Song Xin became Gong Qiu's mistress, Song Laoda was not yet married.
