Chapter 207 You're Not My Dad
Wang Dazhi broke down. He walked up to his son, lifted his son's face, and said, word by word, "Son, look at me. I am your real father. I come back every year. We have met before. Have you forgotten me?"
He couldn't believe his son would really forget him; after all, he had only spent a few days with Li Hongxing, while his son had spent years with him...
Thinking of this, he paused again. Although his son was already three years old, the time he spent with him was indeed very limited.
Given that my son is so young, I doubt he would really forget me.
The son gave him an unhappy look: "You strange uncle, don't talk nonsense. My dad is Li Hongxing."
As he spoke, he pointed proudly at Li Hongxing.
Li Hongxing looked embarrassed, but he didn't refute his son's words.
At that moment, Wang Dazhi truly felt like the sky had fallen.
Humans are just such perverse creatures.
He didn't care about this son at all, otherwise he wouldn't have given him away to Li Hongxing. He felt he was still young and would have more sons in the future. But it's one thing for him not to want the son, and another thing for his son not to acknowledge him.
Seeing that his son recognized only Li Hongxing so quickly, he felt very uncomfortable.
Seeing that Wang Dazhi's face had darkened completely, Li Hongxing tried to smooth things over: "Dazhi, why don't you stay for dinner today? Spend more time with the child and play with him. He's still young and doesn't have the ability to remember things yet, so if he doesn't spend much time with you, he'll naturally forget about you."
Wang Dazhi felt even more heartbroken.
Li Hongxing comforted him, "But it doesn't matter. If you come to see him often, he will remember you."
Wang Dazhi no longer wanted to concern himself with his son's affairs. He had already given his son to Li Hongxing and had no intention of getting him back.
His main purpose in coming here this time was because of Zhou Fangfang.
Wang Dazhi then said, "Deputy Company Commander Li, I said that this son is yours, and you can take care of him from now on. But Zhou Fangfang is my wife. It's not appropriate for her to live here with you. So I came here this time to take Zhou Fangfang back."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fangfang took a step back. Whether it was her imagination or not, Li Hongxing seemed to be intentionally or unintentionally blocking Wang Dazhi's view in front of her.
Li Hongxing said, "Fangfang and I are already married and have a marriage certificate. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to take her back now."
"Besides, I've already given the bride price and gone through all the formalities, so it's understandable that she's living in my house now. I've also informed all the neighbors about this."
Wang Dazhi frowned deeply and said anxiously, "But Deputy Company Commander Li, she... she's one of my people! Do you know how everyone is mocking me?"
Zhou Fangfang couldn't help but retort, "What do you mean I'm your person? We haven't even gotten a marriage certificate, we have absolutely no relationship, okay?"
Li Hongxing thought for a moment and said, "Yes, Dazhi, I've known you for so many years and I never knew you had a wife. You also told others that you were unmarried, and you and Zhou Fangfang never registered your marriage, so she can't be considered your wife. If you want to get married, I can help you introduce some girls."
"There are many good girls in this military camp, and you are also a good catch. If you want to get married, you can get married very soon."
Wang Dazhi said, "This is different."
Li Hongxing countered, "What's the difference? Haven't you always wanted to find a good girl to marry? Isn't this a great opportunity?"
Wang Dazhi looked down on Zhou Fangfang. He disliked her for being poor, uneducated, and a country girl. Although he himself had been short, ugly, and poor before, he felt completely different after joining the army and naturally wanted better girls.
But he also knew that even if the girls in the military camp married him, they would never go back to the countryside to take care of his mother. Not to mention taking care of her, he didn't dare tell those girls that he had a paralyzed mother in the countryside, otherwise they would definitely look down on his family background.
You know, the better the conditions of a girl, the more proud she is. How could she easily marry him? These girls also want a house, three large purses, and a dowry. Where would he get so much money to marry a wife?
Looking back now, Zhou Fangfang was the better deal. She was working for free, and she took good care of my mother. Now is the time when my mother needs her. If she doesn't go back, who will take care of my mother?
Wang Dazhi shook his head: "Deputy Company Commander Li, I'm not planning to get married right now. Besides, finding a suitable girl isn't an easy thing."
Li Hongxing seemed not to understand his meaning. He said, "I heard that you've been getting close to a female soldier lately. Do you have a crush on her? If I can help you, I can."
When Du Juan was mentioned, Wang Dazhi fell silent. Du Juan was indeed very beautiful, and she had been visiting him recently, which made him very happy. However, he didn't know if he could marry a beauty like Du Juan.
There are rumors circulating that Zhou Fangfang is his wife. Du Juan even came to ask him what was going on, and he explained it clearly, but it's unclear whether Du Juan believes him.
Thinking of Du Juan, Wang Dazhi became sullen: "No need, I'll handle my own affairs."
After he finished speaking, he turned to leave. Li Hongxing asked him to stay for dinner, but he refused, saying that he did not want to eat.
He doesn't want his relationship with Du Juan to be affected in any way. Although there's nothing between them, and they're just in a state of ambiguity, he always feels that Du Juan likes him.
After Wang Dazhi left, Zhou Fangfang clearly breathed a sigh of relief.
She thought the matter was over, but Wang Dazhi actually came again the next day.
Zhou Fangfang: "..."
Wang Dazhi still wanted Zhou Fangfang to go back with him. He had already said everything he needed to say, but Zhou Fangfang naturally refused outright. She was doing very well in the Li family, and her son was doing very well too. Why should she go back and suffer?
Besides, she has now realized that Li Hongxing is on her side, and as long as she doesn't go back, Wang Dazhi can't do anything to her.
Sure enough, when Wang Dazhi saw that she refused to go back, he started cursing at her, using common phrases like saying that if she didn't go back, she would be laughed at here, and that she was unchaste and would definitely have bad luck in the future.
