If you live together for a long time, you'll easily be exposed, and that would be getting yourself into trouble!

Chen Hong wanted to slap her own foul mouth: Had she lost her endocrine system? How could she suddenly be so captivated by beauty that she blurted out something?

Yu Yang said smugly, "He said it himself, I didn't force him. He even said that if we're not comfortable with it, he can write us a guarantee, the kind that can be notarized!"

Chen Hong felt a throbbing pain in her head: "Son, don't you think you've been tricked by him? How can you believe everything he says?"

Even if these conditions can be notarized, so what? Your father and I are still legally married; it's not like our marriage is over just like that!

Yu Yang disagreed with his mother's point of view: "You suffered when you married my dad. You took care of his father and son and did all the housework. He didn't even pay you a salary."

If you work with Zhou Yi, you won't lose out. You don't need to worry about his family. He'll pay all his wages and do all the work. He'll be like a long-term laborer for our family.

If he does a good job, keep him; if he doesn't, send him back to Beijing. Our family will continue living as usual, and we won't suffer any loss.

If he's really good, you won't be alone anymore; I have a dad now too!

Chen Hong couldn't help but rub her forehead, her head aching.

How can someone so small be so capable? Treating a military officer like a farmhand, even Sister Feng doesn't have your wildest dreams!

Son, I must say, you're truly a talented person!

"Son, if you really marry him, he'll have to give half of our family's money to us. I can't bear to do that!"

Yu Yang smiled slyly: "I've already asked around. He has more money than our family, so we definitely won't be at a disadvantage!"

Chen Hong: ...

How did you find out how much money he has? Did he tell you?

"I asked for you. We've already agreed that before the wedding, our house and money will be notarized and given to you. His house and money will also be in your name. If he doesn't behave, we'll leave him half the money and make him leave our family!"

Chen Hong felt like she didn't recognize her son anymore. When did her son become so calculating?

It must all be Zhou Yi's teachings! Chen Hong doesn't even dare to think about what kind of cunning little fox her well-behaved and sensible son will turn into if the two of them spend more time together in the future!

This man's persuasive power over the boy is simply too strong. They've only known each other for two short days, and his well-behaved son, whom he's raised for six years, has already been led astray by Zhou Yi.

Finally, Yu Yang patted Chen Hong on the shoulder: "Mom, don't worry! If he goes back on his word, we'll take his guarantee to the army and ask their leaders to settle the matter!"

Chen Hong: "When did you receive the guarantee from Zhou Yi?"

Yu Yang: "I haven't received it yet. As long as you agree, I'll have him write it tomorrow! I'm going to bed now, Mom."

Watching her son go into his room and close the door, Chen Hong felt as if she were being used as a bargaining chip by two men.

Chen Hong sullenly returned to her room, closed the door, and couldn't fall asleep even after getting into bed. While she was tossing and turning in bed, she received a QQ friend request from Zhou Yi.

I reluctantly approved his request, and immediately received the first message from the other end: "Son agreed, right?"

Chen Hong felt a surge of anger: "Whose son is it? Find out!"

"Your son, your son! Don't worry, no one will take him from you!"

Chen Hong: "What nonsense did you and Yu Yang talk about? You've corrupted good children!"

"You're overthinking it. Our son is exceptionally smart and sensible, and very easy to communicate with! This is a conversation between men!"

"I now think we should keep our son away from you, so I've changed my mind! Go back to Beijing tomorrow!"

"That won't do! A person cannot stand without integrity! What's said is said, and what's done is done! I'll come have breakfast with you tomorrow!"

Chen Hong is a "scoundrel!!!"

The Book of Changes says: "Boys need their fathers' guidance even more!"

Chen Hong: "His father is still alive!"

Zhou Yi: "Don't you know how his father is perceived by him?"

Chen Hong: "?"

Zhou Yi: "My son and I get along very well, and I will be a good father!"

Chen Hong: "..."

That night, the weather suddenly changed, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring, and strong winds howling, ushering in the first thunderstorm of early summer.

Chen Hong's mood was as unpredictable as the weather outside the window. She tossed and turned all night, unable to fall asleep.

Chen Hong thought about many things. In fact, she felt sorry for herself. She had been married twice in two lifetimes and had two children, but she had never been in a relationship.

She had never tasted love! What a tragedy!

Both of her husbands were introduced by mutual acquaintances, and the purpose of dating them was that she had reached a certain age and should get married!

She didn't know what other rural girls' love lives were like, whether they would experience a beautiful love, and whether they would have someone they once loved to remember them when they were old and lying in a recliner.

Or like her, spend your whole life worrying and working hard for your children, parents, and family.

In old age, all I can recall are the carefree days of running around the mountains as a child and the mundane realities of married life, and the endless busyness of working in a 100-square-meter house day after day.

She was pursued by men during her teenage years, but her mother thought the boys were not decent people and were bad kids who seduced girls. Her mother went to their house and made a scene.

Even though the boy couldn't help but sneak closer to Chen Hong, his family quickly arranged his engagement.

Chen Hong can no longer remember what the boy looked like; too many years have passed. She only vaguely remembers that he was a handsome and gentle boy.

I later heard that he was doing quite well. He started by doing fire protection engineering in Jinan, and after it grew, he established a company.
