As for Zhang Chunxue, at noon, she was busy in the kitchen, waiting for Zhong Aiguo and Yang Lifang to arrive.
Zhong Xiaoxiao and Song Yanshen were always helping.
Although Song Yanshen has been working alone since he was a child, he is still a little clumsy about things in the kitchen and doesn't know what to do.
Zhong Xiaoxiao patiently taught him: "Xiao Shen, you must learn this well, otherwise you might not be able to get married in the future!"
Song Yanshen could only point to his mouth and shook his head.
Zhong Xiaoxiao immediately understood: "Are you saying that you can't get married because you can't speak?"
Song Yanshen nodded.
Zhong Xiaoxiao, however, was full of disapproval: "Who says you can't get a wife if you can't speak?"
"If you work hard enough, you will definitely be able to find a wife!"
She said seriously, "You see, precisely because you can't speak, you have to improve your competitiveness in other areas."
"Other men stay at home all day and do nothing, but you can cook and do housework, and you can help your wife share the burden, so you will definitely be able to marry a wife..."
"Isn't it just that I can't speak? It's not a big deal!"
Zhang Chunxue nodded in agreement. "Xiao Shen, your second sister is right. If we can't compare to others in this aspect, then why don't we surpass them in other aspects?"
Her voice was gentle: "Don't worry, no matter what, Mom will find you a wife."
In his previous life, Song Yanshen never married or had children.
He has always been very self-conscious, and because he wanted to thank Zhang Chunxue for taking him in, he sent most of the money he earned from working to Zhang Chunxue. He didn't save much at all, so he had no money to marry a wife.
In this life, Zhang Chunxue must choose a good wife for him.
Song Yanshen felt warm in his heart after hearing this.
Every day now feels like a dream.
Last night he slept in his own room, on a soft bed, covered with a thin quilt, and he felt that his dreams were sweet.
In the middle of the night, he was still drowsy and found someone entered his room, covered him with a quilt, and touched his head.
Although Song Yanshen didn't open his eyes, he knew that it was his mother.
He really felt so happy.
Near noon, Zhang Chunxue made a pot of braised chicken, fried twice-cooked pork, stir-fried pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried cabbage, shredded potatoes, and cold cucumber salad, filling the table with dishes.
When Zhong Aiguo and the others arrived, Zhang Chunxue immediately welcomed them to the table and waited for Song Xingzhi to arrive.
But no matter how long he waited, Song Xingzhi never showed up.
Zhong Aiguo was getting a little restless: "What is Xingzhi doing? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
Zhang Chunxue was also a little puzzled, but she thought Song Xingzhi must have been tripped up by something, so she smiled and said, "Brother Aiguo and Sister-in-law Lifang, please eat first. I'll serve some food to Xingzhi and reheat it when he comes back."
Everyone had something to do in the afternoon, so we didn't wait and started eating.
But what they never expected was that just when they were halfway through their meal and Zhong Aiguo and the others were discussing the wedding banquet with Zhang Chunxue, Xiao Zeng from the brigade headquarters rode his beloved bicycle and rushed into Zhang Chunxue's yard.
He didn't even have time to get out of the car before he yelled at Zhang Chunxue, "Sister Chunxue, something happened! Something happened! A family just came over from the brigade headquarters and said Director Song got their daughter pregnant!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue, and the chopsticks in Zhong Xiaoxiao's hand fell to the table with a clatter.
Zhong Aiguo's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief: "What? What did you say? How could Xingzhi do such a thing?"
Xiao Zeng was a little incoherent: "They came over and said... they pointed at Director Song..."
Zhang Chunxue was very calm: "Xiao Zeng, don't be impatient, talk slowly."
She asked Zhong Xiaoxiao to quickly bring Xiao Zeng a glass of boiled water.
After Xiao Zeng took a big gulp, he wiped his mouth and told the whole story.
It turned out that around noon, a family suddenly found the brigade headquarters. The leader was a strong man in his forties, who brought with him a group of brothers, the women in his family, and his daughter who was just twenty years old.
As soon as they came in, they started making a fuss, saying that his daughter had been bullied and was now pregnant.
When Song Xingzhi heard this, he realized that this was a criminal case!
He immediately suggested that they report to the police.
Who knew that the family said that if they reported it to the police, their daughter would lose her reputation.
They just want his father to be responsible for the baby in his daughter's belly.
Song Xingzhi was speechless.
They had even come to the brigade headquarters to make a scene, so what kind of reputation could they have? He also didn't understand why these people chose to swallow their anger for the sake of so-called reputation.
After all, if the person who bullied their daughter is not a good person, and he is still responsible for his daughter, wouldn't that harm their daughter's mother for life?
He immediately advised them that it would be better to report to the police.
Unexpectedly, the burly man stared at him intently and said, "Director Song, are you sure you want me to report it to the police? Aren't you afraid that the police will arrest you and ruin your life?"
Song Xingzhi was stunned: "What does this have to do with me?"
However, the next second the strong man gave him the answer: "After all, my daughter is pregnant with your child!"
When he said this, the entire brigade was shocked.
Everyone looked at the belly of the strong man's daughter, then looked at Song Xingzhi, unable to believe their eyes or their ears.
Song Xingzhi's face immediately turned pale: "Comrade, you must be responsible for what you say. Do you know what you are saying?"
His face was calm: "I didn't even know your daughter before, how could I be the father of the child in her belly."
The burly man Guo Fugui snorted coldly, "Director Song is truly a forgetful person! Didn't you come to our village over two months ago to settle the matter between Guo Erxiong and me because we had killed prey in the mountains but claimed it was ours?"
Song Xingzhi immediately reacted: "Are you Guo Fugui?"
Guo Fugui then raised his chin: "Yes, I am Guo Fugui."
He gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't know about you and my daughter. But you went to propose marriage to someone else today, and my daughter was trying to commit suicide at home... I only found out after asking her that she was pregnant with your child..."
"It's been almost two months!" He slammed the brigade's desk hard and said angrily, "I used to think you were a good person, but I never thought you were such an irresponsible beast who toyed with female comrades!"
