Chapter 198 Let's Get Married
Zhou Fangfang appeared at Li Hongxing's doorstep with her package in hand.
A few days ago, when she brought her son by train, her son was very excited and asked, "Dad, are you going to play with me?"
Wang Dazhi rarely comes back and never plays with his son. Even when he returns to the countryside, he treats her and his son as if they are invisible. But even so, his son has a natural expectation of his father.
He longed for his father's love because he had never received it.
Wang Dazhi didn't like them, and he didn't want children in the first place, but Zhou Fangfang got pregnant. Anyway, even if she gave birth, it would only be Zhou Fangfang's business, and Wang Dazhi wouldn't have to worry about anything.
But Zhou Fangfang still held onto hope, thinking that perhaps Wang Dazhi had come to bring them here so that the three of them could live together happily.
She patted her son's head affectionately and said, "Yes, your father sent us here. He'll play with you from now on."
"That's wonderful!" the son exclaimed happily.
Zhou Fangfang was also very happy.
Wang Dazhi didn't give her a friendly look. She was even a stranger to Wang Dazhi, but she knew that Wang Dazhi was her husband and the father of her son. She thought she would just live like this for the rest of her life.
Perhaps Wang Dazhi will change his mind and treat her and his son better.
Although he has a bad temper and doesn't care about people, that's about it. She can tolerate him a little.
She wanted to take good care of them this time she came. She was very good at housework and cooking. Even her picky mother-in-law said her cooking was delicious.
However, she never expected that it was all a conspiracy. Wang Dazhi had only tricked her into coming here; he had gotten rid of his son.
Since that's the case, she left.
Zhou Fangfang didn't see her son immediately, but instead saw Li Hongxing's mother. The old lady was quite old, and upon seeing Zhou Fangfang, she immediately came out defensively: "Zhou Fangfang, what are you doing here again? Didn't Wang Dazhi say you left? Are you trying to take the child now? Let me tell you, it's impossible. The child is already ours."
The old woman's voice was loud, and it quickly attracted other people to come over.
Everyone then addressed the old woman, saying, "Sister, why are you here again? Wang Dazhi has already said he's going to give the child to Deputy Company Commander Li, so the matter is settled. Why do you keep coming here to cause trouble?"
“Deputy Company Commander Li is really pitiful. He can’t have children now. What’s the harm in giving him a child? You’ll have children in the future anyway, so why do you have to compete with him for one?”
"The Li family are very kind; they will treat your child well. You should go back."
Everyone was talking at once, trying to persuade Zhou Fangfang to go back.
Zhou Fangfang actually thought they were right. The Li family seemed wealthy, and more importantly, they were not stingy. They treated their children very well, and her son was indeed able to live a good life with them.
She also hopes that her son can have a good life.
So she said, "I think what you said makes a lot of sense. I'm not here to take back my child. The child is fine staying here with you."
Upon hearing this, the old woman noticed her guard had lowered slightly, but she was still somewhat skeptical: "You really didn't come here to snatch the child today?"
“No, but I want to stay with my son,” Zhou Fangfang said.
The old lady's expression immediately changed again.
Zhou Fangfang said earnestly, "I raised my son myself. Only I understand his various habits, and only I can raise him well."
The old lady frowned. The child was indeed very dependent on Zhou Fangfang. They treated the child very well, but last night the child cried because he missed Zhou Fangfang. There was nothing she could do about it. The child was still young, and she could only wait for him to gradually forget Zhou Fangfang.
Zhou Fangfang said, "Wang Dazhi and I are not husband and wife. You probably know this. We have never registered our marriage. So I thought I could marry Deputy Company Commander Li so that I could take care of my son."
She said somewhat nervously, "I know I'm marrying above my station with Deputy Company Commander Li, but given his current situation, it's probably going to be difficult for him to find a wife. So I was thinking, could I do it? I can cook and do housework, and I can take good care of them."
Grandma: ?
Others: "?"
What Zhou Fangfang said was so unbelievable that they were completely taken aback.
What...what did she say...?
Did they mishear?
Zhou Fangfang said, "I see that you are very good to my son and will really take good care of him, but only a biological mother can raise him well. Wouldn't it be better if I stayed with him?"
She looked at the old woman in front of her and asked, "What do you think?"
No one answered her.
After a long while, the old woman looked her over carefully and asked thoughtfully, "Do you know what you're saying?"
Zhou Fangfang nodded: "I know."
The old lady squinted. Zhou Fangfang wasn't ugly; her face was quite pretty, but her skin was a bit dark and her hands were rough. She looked like someone who was very good at working.
It was also thanks to Wang Dazhi's widespread publicity that he was not married that no one doubted Zhou Fangfang's claim of being unmarried.
However, she used to look down on Zhou Fangfang, who had given birth to a son, but the situation is different now, as Li Hongxing cannot have children.
These days, sons are very precious, and no one would abandon their son. Those who can't have sons want to buy one, but the price is astronomical, so the old lady would definitely not miss this opportunity.
They should raise this son well in the future; in fact, it would be best if Zhou Fangfang were to raise him.
Are you sure you want to marry Hongxing?
Zhou Fangfang nodded: "I'm sure. Anyway, Deputy Company Commander Li and I are both unmarried. Now that we're in a good position, we can live together. Of course, it's fine if he doesn't marry me. I'll stay here to take care of my son. You just need to give me a place to live. I won't eat or drink for free. I can help with cooking and housework. I can do everything."
The old woman glanced at her, thought for a moment, and said, "I think it's okay."
It's very difficult to find a wife these days. Besides, even if Li Hongxing did find a wife, he wouldn't be able to have a child, and who knows, his wife might even run away.
If Zhou Fangfang could marry into the family, Li Hongxing would have someone to take care of her when she gets old. She felt that Zhou Fangfang was a pretty good person.
Most importantly, judging from Zhou Fangfang's appearance, they won't have to spend too much on the bride price, which is fantastic.
The old woman asked, "Do you have any requests?"
