When Old Lady Song heard this, she was furious.

She plopped down on the ground, cursing, "My life is so miserable! How could I have given birth to such a heartless bastard like you? You only care about your wife, giving her all the good things while I, this old woman, am starving to death..."

"I'm going to talk to the battalion commander and cause trouble at your unit. I'll make sure you can't stay here. You heartless bastard, if you won't let me have a good time, I won't let you have a good time either."

Song Fanxing rolled her eyes. Old Mrs. Song was stubborn and refused to admit it.

She looked at Song Darong, worried that her father might be too proud or too soft-hearted.

Song Darong asked coldly, "Mom, are you really my biological mother? How can you ruin my mother if I don't give you money?"

Old Mrs. Song's face froze, but she immediately started throwing a tantrum again.

"You were the one who was ruthless first, so don't blame me for being unjust. What if I ruin you? Without me, you would have died long ago."

Song Darong kept telling himself that Old Lady Song was just like that, and there was no need to argue with her.

But her words were like knives stabbing into him; it would be a lie to say they didn't hurt.

At that moment, he finally believed that he was not her biological son.

Although there was no evidence, he could sense it.

"Whether I am your biological child or not, I have treated you well all these years. From now on, I will not give you any more money."

Over the years, he has given Old Lady Song several hundred yuan, enough for her to live on until she dies.

He had neglected his wife for the past ten years, and from now on, he would dedicate all his money and energy to their little family.

Song Fanxing clapped her hands and cheered, "Daddy is awesome! Daddy is so great!"

Song Darong chuckled and ruffled her soft hair, feeling a warm glow in his heart.

My daughter is so cute!

Old Mrs. Song was extremely anxious because she couldn't get through her tantrums and sulking.

Song Dalong then stepped forward and said, "Brother, the money you gave Mom before is lost. She's penniless now. You can't just abandon her."

Song Darong frowned, bent down, picked up Song Fanxing, and was about to leave.

Old Mrs. Song held him tightly, saying, "You can't leave. I have no money left. You have to give me money to support me in my old age."

Song Darong: "Do you think I'm stupid? You came up with such a lame excuse to trick me into continuing to give you money. I won't give it to you anymore."

He thought that Song Dalong and Old Lady Song were conspiring to deceive him.

Old Mrs. Song: "My money is really gone. If you don't believe me, ask Song Fanxing. She knows about it too."

Song Fanxing opened her big eyes and said, "I've heard about it, but I don't know if your money is really lost."

The ambiguous words almost made Old Lady Song faint with anger.

Song Darong didn't want to continue talking to Old Lady Song, so he picked up Song Fanxing and prepared to leave.

Song Fanxing reminded him, "Dad, we have to take our basin with us."

"oh."

Song Darong put Song Fanxing down, picked out the eggs he had brought, and poured the rice into Old Lady Song's basin.

Song Haitao and Song Xiaomei stared intently at the 10 eggs.

Eggs! Those are eggs!

Song Haitao yelled and rushed over, grabbing two eggs in each hand.

"Grandma, I want to eat eggs! I want to eat eggs!"

Li Zhen quickly went over and said, "Haitao, don't move. Give me the eggs, we'll eat them after they're cooked."

Song Haitao handed the eggs to Li Zhen and urged, "Mom, hurry up and cook them, I want to eat them."

Li Zhen put 10 eggs into the rice stalks and carried them to her house.

Song Darong carried Song Fanxing away.

The more Old Lady Song thought about it, the angrier she became. She chased after him, yelling, "You ungrateful wretch! You heartless wretch! Yes, you were adopted! I would never have given birth to such a thing. I regret it so much! I should have strangled you! I should have starved you to death! If that old man hadn't insisted on adopting you, I wouldn't have kept you at home. Hahaha... If you don't take care of your mother, I'll make you pay!"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people in the village were taking their children out to visit each other when they heard this shocking news.

"My God, Da Rong isn't Old Lady Song's biological son?"

"She just said it herself."

"No wonder they don't treat Da Rong like a human being."

"Damn it, how cruel!"

Everyone looked at Old Lady Song with disdain.

When Song Darong heard Old Lady Song say that he was not their biological son, he was not as sad as he had imagined. Instead, he smiled as if relieved.

"Mom, thank you for telling me the truth. You couldn't strangle me back then, and now you don't have the chance."

"Song Darong, aren't you afraid I'll cause trouble at your unit?"

Song Darong ignored her and carried Song Fanxing home.

Old Mrs. Song was cursing wildly behind him.

"Song Darong, you'll get your comeuppance for treating me like this. I'm severing all ties with you, you ungrateful wretch!"

Song Darong turned his head and said, "Fine, then let's sever ties!"

Old Mrs. Song was furious; she couldn't control Song Darong no matter what she said.

Song Fanxing: "Dad, aren't you afraid that Grandma will cause trouble at your military base?"

"She can't find a place to make a scene even if she wants to."

His unit is quite special; outsiders can't get in, and even family members who want to join him have to go through strict screening. This is why, even though he's reached a certain rank, he hasn't been able to bring his wife and children to live with him all these years.

Not only were the vetting process strict, but the conditions in his unit were also extremely harsh, making life difficult for his family members.

Song Fanxing nodded, relieved.

Back home, Song Fanxing told Fang Jie what had happened at the Song family home.

Fang Jie looked at Song Darong, "Is what Xingxing said true?"

Song Darong: "Yes, Mom admitted it herself."

"No wonder she treated you that way. There aren't many mothers in the world as heartless as her."

Song Darong couldn't remember anything before he was three years old, but he remembered everything that happened after that. Every instance of abuse he suffered at the hands of Old Lady Song was so profound, causing him considerable emotional harm.

If it weren't for Old Man Song mediating, he wouldn't have survived.

Fang Jie: "Don't be sad. It's better if she's not our biological daughter. We don't owe her anything. From now on, let's live our lives in peace."

"Um."

Song Darong turned to look at Song Fanxing.

Song Fanxing felt uncomfortable under his gaze.

Sigh... what was bound to happen has finally happened.

"dad……"

Song Darong: "How do you know I'm not your grandmother's biological child? And you know so much detail."

Fang Jie also looked over in confusion.

Song Fanxing chuckled twice and said, "If I said that Grandpa told me this in a dream, would you believe me?"

Song Darong: "You weren't even born when your grandfather died. Do you even know what your grandfather looked like?"

Song Fanxing shook her head.

She really didn't know what Old Man Song looked like.

“Dad, how I know it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you know the truth now.”

Song Darong wanted to say something, but Fang Jie stopped him.

"The child is right. Don't ask so many questions. Let's live a good life as a family from now on."

"But……"

"No buts. Your daughter has found out the truth for you. Just thank her and that's it. Don't ask or say anything else. Even if you ask, I can't tell you."

Song Fanxing looked at Fang Jie with admiration; her mother was still the most straightforward and forceful.

happy!

Song Darong had no choice but to shut up and grab a handful of chestnuts to eat.

Okay, I won't ask anymore, can you eat now?
