The Yu family has a yard, and other families around them also have yards, which separate them from each other. Unlike the Zhou family, they live in a bungalow with people on both sides, so if they speak louder, others can hear them clearly.
When the Zhou family came, they thought they were going to talk about their happy event, so they came happily.
But as soon as they arrived, Zhou Boyang was taken out by Yu Xianghai alone, with a fake smile, "I want to talk to him alone."
Zhou Changshou thought that this was because the two brothers had a good relationship, so he waved his hand and let them talk. It was not appropriate for the younger generation to be present when they talked about these things. However, everyone was really present today. He glanced at his future granddaughter-in-law's grandparents Qin Qiang and Yao Cuifen, his uncle Qin Fengmao, as well as Yu Qingshan and Zhao Qiaoniang. What was strange was that Ding Minxiu was also here.
Ding Minxiu also felt that she was not suitable to be here. She suppressed her inner bitterness and exchanged a few pleasantries. Zhao Qiaoniang spoke up: "Minxiu, go out and help boil water and make tea."
Ding Minxiu was about to respond when Yu Qingshan stopped her: "Just sit still. We have something to discuss today. You are the party involved."
Then he stood up suddenly and slammed his hand on the table in front of him, making a loud noise that startled those who were not prepared, including Zhao Qiaoniang. She looked at Yu Qingshan in astonishment: "Why did you get so angry for no reason?!"
"For no reason?! I am not for no reason, Ding Minxiu, do you dare to tell all of us the ugly things you have done?" He named the person.
Ding Minxiu clenched her fingers nervously, her heart was lifted high, her voice was trembling, and she sounded innocent: "Dad, I don't understand what you mean."
Yu Qingshan said in a tough tone, "Don't call me dad. I'm not your dad. I can't afford a daughter like this, and I don't dare to have one."
Zhao Qiaoniang's face turned pale. What did he mean?
The Zhou family members looked at each other. Was he calling them here to watch him teach his daughter a lesson?
Yu Qingshan looked at Zhou Changshou and the others at this time: "You still don't know what good things she and your Zhou Boyang have done, right? She is already a month pregnant! It's your Zhou family's child!"
Ding Minxiu's body trembled, her face turned pale, and she subconsciously placed her hands on her lower abdomen to protect her belly. Zhao Qiaoniang widened her eyes and looked at Yu Qingshan in a dry voice, "Are you kidding? This joke is not funny at all, don't do this."
Yu Qingshan broke her self-deception: "You know, I'm not kidding. I'm not the kind of person who jokes about this kind of thing."
He looked at Zhou Changshou again. The head of the Zhou family was this retired grandfather. "This is not something you can joke about. When I found out about this, I wanted to chop them both with a knife."
Yang Xizhi and her daughter-in-law Fang Rong looked at each other and became a little restless.
Ding Minxiu opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, Zhou Boyang, who was holding his stomach and had a bruised face, was rudely pushed in by Yu Xianghai: "Come on, tell us about your dealings. You dare to take responsibility for what you did! You are not afraid of being jailed for the crime of hooliganism, so why are you afraid to tell us?"
Zhou Changshou's heart sank suddenly. He saw panic and guilt on his grandson's face. Zhao Qiaoniang looked at her daughter, whose face didn't look much better. What was there for her not to understand? This was actually true. All her strength was drained away at once. If there wasn't a wall next to her to lean on, she would probably fall under the stool.
Yang Xizhi smiled dryly: "What's the matter? And there's no crime or not!" She looked at the sadness and pain on her grandson's face and didn't dare to speak out to show her concern at this time.
Yao Cuifen was not polite: "What you said is funny. They are unmarried, and they are brother-in-law and sister-in-law. If they get pregnant, what is this but hooliganism?"
Yu Xianghai clenched his fist and deliberately shook it in front of Zhou Boyang's eyes, causing the place on Zhou Boyang's body where he had just been hit to feel pain again. After all, he was just a teenager who had just reached adulthood. When he was suddenly exposed, his mind went blank. He could only look at his grandparents and parents helplessly, hoping that they could help him make a decision.
He doesn't want to go to jail. His life has just begun. He can't go to jail, or his life will be ruined.
Zhou Duosun was a man of few words. He was very anxious as he had only one son, but he opened his mouth again and again but didn't utter a word.
It was Zhou Changshou who stood up and said in a gentle voice, "There must be a misunderstanding! Let's talk it out and explain the misunderstanding."
Yao Cuifen sneered, "What kind of misunderstanding could make her pregnant? Tell me."
Yang Xizhi looked at Ding Minxiu with complicated feelings in her heart. Is she pregnant with the blood of their Zhou family?
This is a happy event, but the person is not the right one.
Ding Minxiu shook her head and shed tears: "I didn't, I wasn't, I didn't."
Yao Cuifen: "Don't be so quick to deny it. I took your pulse before. If you think I'm bragging, I'll get a doctor back for you right now."
"You can't invite them!" Zhou Boyang shouted. If they did, the matter would be unconcealed.
Ding Minxiu also knew this truth, so she shrank her shoulders and dared not say anything.
What is there to not understand? They themselves knew that Ding Minxiu was pregnant, otherwise why would they be silent at this time? Zhou Changshou had eaten so many extra meals over the years, and he soon came to his senses. He felt fortunate that the Yu family had invited them here just to have a good talk, otherwise if they had shouted it out in public, their Zhou family would be finished.
Thinking of this, his tone lowered a bit: "We have to come up with a set of rules for this matter. I don't know what you think, but we were wrong first, we admit it, you can beat us if you deserve it, scold us if you deserve it, but this matter cannot be delayed, we admit it humbly."
Yang Xizhi nodded repeatedly: "Xiao An and our Bo Yang are a perfect match, otherwise..."
Before she finished speaking, Yu Qingshan interrupted her: "You are wrong, the perfect match for your family is Ding Minxiu!"
Zhao Qiaoniang listened to their conversation in silence. These words were like knives, stabbing her heart one by one. However, she had no way to stop them and could only let the sharp knife stab her heart.
Her daughter actually did such a shameless thing, hooking up with her future brother-in-law and having a bastard child. Did she know what he was doing? !
How come she has no shame?!
Has she ever thought about her own way out? !
Zhou Boyang felt that Yu Xianghai's handcuffs on his hands behind his back had become even stronger. He couldn't bear it anymore and cried out in pain: "I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong, I am sorry to Xiao An!"
Yu Xianghai said sternly: "Don't call Xiao An's name so intimately!"
Seeing Zhou Boyang like this, don’t the Zhou family members feel sad? Yes, they do. This is their only child, and he has never suffered such hardship since he was a child. But now they can only pretend not to see it.
If he doesn't let the Yu family vent their anger and makes a big fuss, he will be in even greater trouble.
If the person who was making trouble with Boyang was also a daughter of the Yu family, it would be better, and the other party would be cautious. However, the person making trouble was surnamed Ding, so they did not have the confidence to make trouble.
Their grandson is so good, it must be this woman surnamed Ding who seduced him and made him do such a thing!
Noticing their gazes towards her, Ding Minxiu lowered her head even more. She looked at Zhao Qiaoniang in panic, then looked away as if she had been burned by something.
Qin Fengmao coughed softly at this time and looked at Yang Xizhi: "Originally, our two families had agreed that when you reach retirement age, our Xiao An would marry over and take your place. Who knew that something like this would happen, don't you think?"
The corner of Yang Xizhi's eye twitched. She understood what was said. The Yu family wanted her job!
How could this be possible! Her job was to be given to her granddaughter-in-law, and they said Yu Xiangan was not going to get married, so how could she be given this job!
She pulled the corner of her mouth and said, "Well, there are conditions for taking over. If Xiao An is from our Zhou family, then of course there is no problem. But if he is not, if someone reports him, then we will be in trouble."
Yu Qingshan: "What you said doesn't make sense. There are still people who pay for jobs, and no one has gotten into trouble. If you don't want to, forget it. We won't force you. Let's ask the police to judge this matter."
This is clearly a threat! Yang Xizhi secretly hated it, and Zhou Changshou winked at the old woman, asking her to calm down.
Yao Cuifen shook the two letters in her hand at this time: "It's just right. If the public security comrades come, the love letter Zhou Boyang wrote to Ding Minxiu in my hand can be used as evidence."
Zhou Boyang and Ding Minxiu's faces suddenly changed, and Ding Minxiu's voice became sharp: "You can't watch!"
Zhou Changshou sighed and looked at Zhou Boyang with a look of disappointment, but he also wanted a definite answer: "If I give you this job, will this matter be forgiven?"
Yao Cuifen: "This incident has had a huge impact on our Xiao An. It's hard to say what Xiao An's marriage will be like in the future. Although our two families haven't made it public, our relatives and friends who have contact with us more or less know about it. With some money, my granddaughter will have some hope for her future life."
Yang Xizhi didn't want to give this job to anyone else: "We can pay for it."
Yao Cuifen spat: "My family is rich too." Money is only temporary, but work can benefit you for a lifetime. She knows very well which is more important.
Zhou Changshou gave Yang Xizhi a look and told her to shut up.
Yao Cuifen said firmly, "Have you thought it through?"
Yu Qingshan's tone became more resolute: "If it weren't for my daughter's future, I wouldn't have taken this matter to heart and discussed it with you. If you don't want to, then we'll handle it impartially. Don't blame us if they parade her through the streets."
Zhou Boyang and Ding Minxiu were both panicked after hearing this. Zhou Boyang's tone was filled with tears: "Grandpa and grandma, promise them! Promise them!" He didn't want to be paraded through the streets!
He doesn't want to go to jail!
Ding Minxiu looked at Zhou Boyang with tears in her eyes, but he didn't look at her. She turned to look at Zhao Qiaoniang, but unfortunately Zhao Qiaoniang just shrank aside woodenly, her eyes seemed to be looking at her, but also like through her, looking at someone else, without any reaction at all.
Zhou Changshou and Yang Xizhi looked at each other and said, "It's a deal then. This matter is over."
Qin Fengmao spoke at this time, looking at Yang Xizhi, "What you just said makes some sense. If someone without any relatives or friends takes your place, people will point fingers at him. Coincidentally, I know Director Chen from your factory. He told me before that an accountant in their factory is about to retire, and his relative is short of a job, but his ability is not enough to convince others. I thought at the time, what a coincidence, Xiao An graduated from high school, he must be able to do this job, his relative is not good as an accountant, but if he is a front-line worker, as long as he is diligent and pays attention to hygiene, there will be no problem, don't you think?"
Yang Xizhi: “…”
Can she say no?
