Mei Niang looked at her son in surprise: "You want to see this person?"
"Of course." Chang Shun said seriously, "My father is gone, and I am the head of this family. Naturally, I have to be cautious about this matter. Think about it, I am so young now, of course I have to marry you. If I marry the wrong person, there will be no turning back for us mother and daughter."
Mei Niang thought, isn’t that so?
Although her son is only seven years old, he has been different from other children since he was young. He is like a little adult. She likes to talk to him about slightly complicated things at home, and her son's decisions are basically correct.
In Mei Niang's heart, her son is much smarter than herself. Since her son said so, he must have his reasons.
Remarriage is a last resort, but if the son doesn't like the woman, he doesn't necessarily have to marry her.
"Okay, we'll go to grandma's house tomorrow and ask my aunt to help us arrange a meeting with this person. Then my son will talk to that person, and my mother and aunt will sit aside and wait."
She just needs to say a few words to others. It would be bad if others saw her, and she might not be able to get married.
"Mom, I'm going to wash up, you should also have some breakfast."
Chang Shun walked straight to the kitchen. His family's bathroom was next to the toilet in the backyard. Since last year, he had been washing himself.
A quarter of an hour later, Chang Shun was lying on the warm kang. This room used to belong to his grandparents, which meant that two old people had died in this room.
But he was not afraid at all. There were only two real rooms in the house and a small room which was not well ventilated and was now used as a grocery room.
Then there is the main room and the kitchen. The backyard is not small, with a woodshed, a washroom, a toilet, and a chicken coop.
Because there are no men in the family, my eldest uncle has been helping with the thatching of the roof in recent years. My younger uncle used to be a clerk in a grocery store in town. I heard that last year, the whole family pooled their resources and rented a store to open their own shop even though they owed a lot of debts. He rarely has time to visit relatives.
Besides the fact that he was getting older, there was another reason why he didn't sleep in the same room with his mother: he himself was a man with secrets.
On the day he was born, when his eyes could not see clearly, he could understand what others said.
To be precise, he was transported to this world with a memory fetus. In his previous life, he lived to the year of retirement. Due to an accident, he became a baby again, and all his good plans came to an abrupt end.
Therefore, when he was very young, he knew that his father in this life was not as foolishly in love with the other person as his mother was. Occasionally, he could see some impatience in his father's words and even in his eyes.
In my memory, my father was a handsome scholar. Even though my mother was good-looking, her inability to read and write was a major flaw. Such a woman could be a good wife and mother, but she could not be a loving wife and mother.
He had seen such scenes more than once. Every time he saw his mother saving money and giving all the better things to her husband without getting any good from him, he felt very sad, even a little bit desolate.
But what can a child under two years old say? He can barely speak fluently, and if he doesn't want to be burned as a monster, he has to stay alive.
Over the years, he has tried his best to live like a child, but as a retired man, it is simply impossible for him to act like a childish and adorable kid.
So until he was seven years old, he was almost mature beyond his years and lived like a little adult.
Due to the series of misfortunes over the years, few outsiders come to the home of this young widow in her twenties. Three people have left in six years, and others are afraid of being contaminated by bad luck.
His mother is no longer surprised by her son's adult-like behavior. Her husband is a cool and aloof scholar. Isn't it normal for her son to be like his father?
There was another reason for agreeing to his mother's remarriage. Everyone in the village assumed that his father was dead, and he must have fallen into the abyss. Otherwise, his father was a filial son and would never have stayed away from home for such a long time, neglecting his wife and children, and his parents would never have abandoned him.
He was the only one who had doubts in his heart. A normal person would not not go home, but what if he lost his memory? And then was rescued by someone?
This is possible. He worked in a hospital for more than 30 years in his previous life. How could he not know what diseases there are?
The body was not found that year and everyone thought he was dead. Is it impossible that he was injured and rescued?
I have to say that my father in this life had a good-looking appearance. He was just in his early twenties when he died and was as handsome as a jade. If his family conditions were not poor and his mother was not praised to the skies by the matchmaker, the two of them would never have been together.
Amnesia caused by a collision may be recovered in a short time, or it may take a long time or even a lifetime to remember.
So, when his mother said she wanted to remarry, he suggested taking a look at the man. If the man was a good and kind person, he would agree to let both the adult and the child go.
But I can’t just get married without any preparation. What if my biological father is really not dead?
When I come back many years later, they say that there was no divorce and the marriage is no longer valid. What should I do then?
Did my mother demote me to a concubine? That would be terrible.
Or if he wants his son back, there is nothing wrong with his biological father, but he must have remarried and had children over the years, and his stepson would become a thorn in his side. If he is not careful, he may lose his life.
As the old saying goes, it is better to have a mother who begs for food than a father who is an official.
For the sake of their children, women can risk their lives. After a man remarries, a large number of them become the type who have a stepmother and a stepfather.
If his mother remarries, he has to eliminate these hidden dangers, otherwise they will be like time bombs at any time. It is better not to let such a thing happen.
He doesn't think highly of his father.
If that day really comes, the first son will probably want it, but he may not recognize it.
It is much better to find an honest and kind man as a stepfather in the countryside than a stepmother who looks sweet but has a bitter heart.
Even if I have younger brothers and sisters in the future, I won’t have to worry about getting along well with them. If they can’t get along, it will be easy to deal with.
If the meeting seems okay, he will also discuss this matter in advance.
He didn't want to hide at this time, so he wanted to make everything clear face to face, in black and white.
Now that I have my own child, I really can't treat him the same way as before. It will take at most eight years. When he turns fifteen, he can go out and live on his own.
It is much better to have something agreed upon in advance than to be a cowardly stepson following your stepmother.
The former was under his control, but the latter was not certain.
Of course, the possibility that his biological father is alive is very small. As a son, he certainly doesn't want him to be really dead. If he is alive, it would be best if he has lost his memory completely.
Otherwise, he couldn't go home for many years, and his wife and children suffered a lot, while he was surrounded by his wife and children over there. What did this mean?
He is not a real child and has the wisdom of a sixty-year-old. He will definitely find a way to live a good life in the future. He would never even think of living a cowardly life.
He didn't want to take the imperial examination, and as for his mother's idea of studying for two years and becoming a small accountant in town, that was definitely impossible.
In his previous life, he majored in surgery in the hospital, but he also studied Chinese medicine well and was a true double doctor. He has been doing very well in his more than 30 years of work and was the chief surgeon of a large hospital before his retirement.
In this life, I can grow and make medicines, and be a rich man without any constraints. I have money and free time. Isn't that better than being an official?
