Chapter 199 Stay Together
Require?
Zhou Fangfang blinked, her face full of confusion: "You just need to give me a place to stay so that I can stay with my son. I have no other requests."
Don't you want a bride price?
bride price?
Zhou Fangfang didn't really have a concept of betrothal gifts. Her family was very poor, and when Wang Dazhi married her, there was no betrothal gift at all. But she wasn't stupid. Since Li Hongxing's mother asked, she vaguely said, "Yes, you can decide."
The old lady said happily, "Okay, you can discuss it properly after Hongxing comes back."
Judging from Zhou Fangfang's appearance, she definitely won't ask for too much dowry.
These days, getting a wife isn't easy, especially in Li Hongxing's current situation. Now that there's such a cheap wife, the old lady thought it was a great deal.
With a wave of her hand, she said, "Okay, then you can stay here for now."
Just then, the child came out of the inner room, holding a wooden spinning top in his hand. He was clearly planning to come out and play. When he saw Zhou Fangfang, he couldn't help but excitedly say, "Mom, you're finally here! Are we going back now?"
Although he was young, he still remembered that he wanted to be with Zhou Fangfang, even though they had lived in the village together for many years and didn't actually belong to this place.
After saying that, he held the spinning top in his hand, seemingly reluctant to part with it. He looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, thank you for taking care of me. I've had a very happy time here. Thank you, Mr. Li, for making me the spinning top, but I still have to go back with my mom."
"I want to stay with my mom."
He reluctantly placed the spinning top on the table, preparing to go back with Zhou Fangfang.
Zhou Fangfang didn't leave. She said to her son, "I'm not here to take you away today. We'll live here from now on and won't go anywhere else. From now on, Li Dad is your dad. Wang Dazhi has nothing to do with you anymore. If you see him again, just call him uncle, okay?"
Her son was very well-behaved and had been raised by her, but after hearing her words, he still couldn't understand. He blinked and asked, "Mom, what does this mean? Does this mean that Dad Li will be my dad from now on?"
“Yes, from now on you will only have him as your father, because Wang Dazhi doesn’t want you anymore, but your mother does, so she will always be there for you as you grow up,” Zhou Fangfang explained simply.
As for why Wang Dazhi didn't want him, it was still too heavy for a three-year-old child. Even if she explained it clearly, the child might not understand. When he grows up, he will naturally understand the reason.
The son nodded and said happily, "I understand. I have a new dad now. I like my new dad, and I like it here!"
"My new dad is very good to me, Mom, he will definitely be good to you too."
He didn't understand why, but he was very happy. Holding the spinning top, he said, "Mom, let's play with spinning tops together."
“Okay,” Zhou Fangfang said.
The old lady was very satisfied to see the two of them having so much fun. Indeed, it's best for a child to be cared for by their own mother.
She quickly told the others the news.
There's nothing new happening in the family compound, so any little thing that happens spreads like wildfire.
She spread the word to assert her dominance, declaring that Zhou Fangfang was now her daughter-in-law and no one else could have any ideas.
So in a short while, everyone knew that Li Hongxing had gained a wife.
However, at this moment, everyone's attention was on Wang Dazhi: "I misunderstood Wang Dazhi. He is a really good person. Deputy Company Commander Li was injured for him, and he really repays the debt of gratitude without hesitation. He not only gave his son to Deputy Company Commander Li, but also his wife. I would never do that. Wang Dazhi is a real man."
“Wang Dazhi is a role model for us all. He did a really good job this time. Even I was moved. He gave his son and daughter-in-law to Deputy Company Commander Li. He has great love in his heart.”
Some women whispered, "But Deputy Company Commander Li's family is rich. He treats Wang Dazhi's son so well. I saw them giving him milk candy and canned food, and he eats meat every meal. I think they're quite nice to him."
"If only Deputy Company Commander Li hadn't gotten into trouble, what kind of family would be worthy of him?"
Li Hongxing's family was indeed well-off by today's standards. His family were working-class, and although his mother was retired, she received a considerable monthly pension. She didn't spend much of her pension, and it was all used to support Li Hongxing.
So it's really great that I was able to marry into their family.
Some people envy Zhou Fangfang, thinking she got a great deal, but they wouldn't want to do the same.
The old lady was quite happy. She went from house to house without feeling embarrassed. Anyway, everyone knew about Li Hongxing's accident. She was very sad at the time, thinking that Li Hongxing would probably never be able to get married. But now he has a wife and a son, even if they belong to someone else. It doesn't matter. At least Li Hongxing will have someone to take care of him when he gets old.
So she told everyone she met, "Yes, it's true. When Hongxing comes back, I'll let him get married."
“He’s not young anymore, and he’s missed a lot of time over the years. I have to make sure he gets married now, only then will I feel at ease.”
"Let him live a good life from now on. Anyway, he's in this state now. It's a good thing that someone is willing to marry him, especially since she's the mother of his son."
...
Zhou Fangfang was unaware of what was happening here. She was playing with her son. Actually, she didn't have much time to play with him. Back in the countryside, she had a lot of work to do. At this time, she was basically taking care of Wang Dazhi's mother. Even if Wang Dazhi's mother wanted to take a bath, she had to do it herself. Moreover, she had many demands, and it always took a long time to bathe her.
She hadn't felt this free in a long time.
After all, Li Hongxing's mother was in good health and full of energy, and she didn't need to do anything. At this time, Li Hongxing's mother had disappeared.
After playing for a while, she was covered in sweat, so she changed her son's clothes and went to the laundry sink to wash them for him.
The little one then said, "Mommy, I like this place. Grandma is very nice to me. She gives me all the good food. She gave me your cookies. Will we stay here forever?"
