Meng Wanshu noticed Zhong Chengren's reluctance, and she immediately spoke angrily, "Look at you, all you do all day is gamble. You don't have anything to do for yourself!"
"I'm going to marry you, and when other people ask me what my husband does, I don't know how to start the conversation!"
"Does that mean my man is a vagrant and a gambler?"
Zhong Chengren was speechless.
He scratched his hair again: "I know what you mean, but it's easy for you to say. How can it be that simple?"
"What's more, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Even if I go to please the Song family, what good will it do?"
"Could it be possible that they could get me to the capital and arrange a job for me?"
Meng Wanshu's eyes suddenly lit up: "If I really go to the capital with them, it will indeed be a good place to go!"
"If you really build a good relationship with them, maybe they will actually take you with them when they return to the capital."
Zhong Chengren felt that Meng Wanshu's thinking was too simple.
He couldn't help but teasingly said, "Aren't you afraid that after I go to the capital, I'll fall in love with someone else and no longer want you?"
When Meng Wanshu heard this, her face changed, and then she snorted coldly: "If you really dare to do such a thing, just wait and see how I will deal with you!"
She curled her lips again: "Besides, if you go to the capital, won't you take me with you?"
"Didn't you say before that you would let me live a good life? Now the opportunity to live a good life is right in front of me!"
Zhong Chengren really didn't know what to say, so he could only perfunctorily say, "Okay, tomorrow, tomorrow I'll go and try to get close to them!"
"You still want to wait until tomorrow?" Meng Wanshu ordered immediately, "Now! Immediately! Immediately!"
Zhong Chengren had no choice but to get up reluctantly, wash his face and change his clothes.
Meng Wanshu got angry when she saw how messy he was, but there was nothing she could do so she could only help clean it up herself.
Under her expectant gaze, Zhong Chengren walked towards the main group step by step.
At Zhong Chengfa's home, Zhong Guoyong was persuading him.
"You're your mother's biological son! The eldest son! How could she not listen to you?" Zhong Guoyong said earnestly, "Think about it, your mother is going to remarry and become a member of the Song family...will she still think of the three of you?"
Zhong Chengfa frowned: "My mother really won't listen to what I say! You know my mother's personality!"
"She's always been strong-willed, and lately she's become even more incomprehensible to me!" Zhong Chengfa couldn't help but sigh, "My mother doesn't like me at all now! Just because... because..."
He glanced at Li Hongjuan who was busy at the simple stove and lowered his voice: "Because I don't want to divorce Hongjuan..."
"How can a mother and son hold grudges overnight?" Zhong Guoyong continued to persuade, "What's more, your daughter-in-law... I'm not saying anything bad about you, but when your mother asked you to divorce, you should have done so obediently."
Zhong Chengfa was silent for a while before he whispered, "If I get divorced and want to remarry, will you give me the betrothal money, Uncle San?"
Zhong Guoyong was suddenly speechless.
He thought about it and changed his approach: "If nothing else, don't you think about your dad..."
"Back then, your father gave away all the valuables in the house to marry your mother! Your grandmother's family was such a ruthless bunch that they practically sold your mother to your father! The bride price they asked for was almost double what others were asking for!"
"As a result, your father has only been dead for a few years, and your mother is about to remarry..."
"Tell me, is she worthy of your father?"
Zhong Chengfa opened his mouth and whispered after a long while: "But I can't let my mother stay with my father forever... My mother is still young!"
"She's still young, but didn't he find someone younger than her?" Zhong Guoyong curled his lips. "You already have a son. You know your father has been so devoted to your mother all these years. He never let your mother do any heavy work. He raised her so preciously. Otherwise, how could your mother be in her forties and still look like she's in her thirties?"
Zhong Guoyong continued to persuade him, "Besides, your father passed away, and the leader who rescued him gave him a 500 yuan pension. Isn't that all in your mother's hands? You could say your father lived his entire life for your mother...but what about your mother?"
Zhong Guoyong said this while wiping away his tears hypocritically: "This is how your mother treated your father! My poor second brother! Before you were even cold in the grave, your wife remarried someone else..."
"Even your sons...Alas! You are pitiful!"
What Zhong Chengfa said also brought back memories of his father.
Zhong Guosheng's previous indifference to his children has turned into a silent fatherly love, and Zhong Guosheng's daily work has also turned into his hard work to support the family...
Even the beatings and scoldings that Zhong Guosheng used to inflict on them have become a way of educating them to become successful...
Human beings are always in the habit of tampering with their own memories, especially when that person is gone, everything he has done is easily beautified.
After all, the dead are greatest.
Zhong Chengfa was instigated by Zhong Guoyong, and also felt that it would be unfair to his father for his mother to remarry now.
Zhong Guoyong was delighted to see that Zhong Chengfa was obviously moved by his words.
They just don't want Zhang Chunxue to have an easy time!
Even if they can't do anything to Zhang Chunxue, what can they do to her son?
If mother and son become alienated, Zhang Chunxue will cry!
However, what the Zhong family did not know from the beginning to the end was that Zhang Chunxue had long since given up any expectations for her three sons.
There was no way she would be sad because of her three sons' attitudes as the Zhong family thought.
Zhong Guoyong continued to encourage Zhong Chengfa, and finally, Zhong Chengfa slammed the table and said, "I'm going to go find my mom right now!"
The smile on Zhong Guoyong's face became even brighter, and he did not forget to give a hypocritical persuasion: "When you go to talk to your mother, you must be careful with your method. Don't quarrel, don't make your mother sad!"
Zhong Chengfa said seriously, "I know!"
He walked towards the brigade headquarters.
Zhang Chunxue was chatting with the Song family while picking vegetables with her hands.
We're going to set up a few tables at the brigade headquarters tonight so we can all get together.
Zhong Chengfa came to the brigade headquarters in a heroic and high-spirited manner. He originally wanted to question his mother, so when he arrived at the square and saw his mother sitting among a group of people, he immediately strode over.
"Mom!" he yelled.
Zhang Chunxue was chatting with Qian Xiaowan when she was suddenly interrupted. She raised her head and gave Zhong Chengfa a cold look.
At just this one glance, Zhong Chengfa felt as if a bucket of ice water in the cold winter was poured on his head, and his whole body, from head to toe, instantly felt cold!
