He thought to himself, "Looking at this man's attire and his distinguished demeanor, I can tell he's a man of high position and power. Money must be no problem for him. Since Shanhu is his daughter, he should pay a substantial amount of support to her family no matter what."
When she thought of this, her face lit up with joy, and her smile was as bright and dazzling as the warm spring sun.
At this moment, her eyes were full of anticipation and excitement, as if she saw countless ten-yuan bills pouring towards her, falling to the ground like snowflakes.
…
However, after her joy, she became worried again. She looked at the man in front of her. He looked very distant and was not someone who was easy to talk to. It would be difficult to get some money from him.
But she got a headache when she thought about money. She had no money for her son's betrothal gift. She had borrowed money but still couldn't get enough.
She thought of exchanging coral for a betrothal gift. But the damned girl refused to accept her arranged marriage exchange, and she was so angry that she stamped her feet.
The eldest son’s marriage was blocked by this dead girl, otherwise he would have even had a grandson.
This is really great! I never thought your biological father would come to visit you in person.
If that's the case, don't blame me for disregarding our past friendship. I'm going to get this child support! No matter what, he has to give it to me! Trying to renege? No way!
After all, raising a child requires a lot of energy and money, and these are his responsibilities. So, this time I will definitely not compromise easily and must make him pay the money!
The thought of this cheered her up. Her frown relaxed, and the worry on her face instantly disappeared without a trace.
Instead, she smiled brilliantly and said, "Mr. Zeng, we have no objection to you coming to claim our daughter today. However, it has not been easy for us to raise her for so many years. We even paid for her to get a job as a nurse in a large hospital in the provincial capital..."
Section Chief Zeng just smiled and didn't answer.
Wang Danian was displeased and glared at her: "Dafang, what do you mean? They haven't confirmed it yet, they just came to understand the situation, and you are so impatient that you ask them for money..."
"Why can't I ask for money? I haven't got the betrothal gift for my eldest son. If I hadn't been supporting her, we would have had a grandson long ago."
Section Chief Zeng watched the two of them arguing over money until they were red in the face.
"Don't argue. If your daughter is my biological daughter, I will give you some money."
Wang Danian has two sons, both of whom work in the factory run by the street office and can barely make ends meet. He himself works in the sanitation department, and although he is just sweeping the streets, he is a state-owned employee!
Dafang is a housewife who doesn't have a formal job. She just goes to the street to get some work and makes some pocket money by pasting paper boxes.
…
Lin Lifeng's home.
Wang Xiaolan is giving acupuncture treatment to Mr. Lin.
Zhao Lihan knew that Wang Xiaolan had some equipment to take out of the space.
He looked at everyone and said, "Let's go out! Let my wife treat the old man!"
Lin Lifeng quickly said, "Yes, that's right."
Several people left the room.
Wang Xiaolan said to the old man on the bed, "Old man, I'm going to give you acupuncture treatment. I'm afraid you'll feel pain, so I'll hypnotize you first, so you can fall asleep."
The old man on the bed nodded and said, "Girl, just do it with confidence!"
Wang Xiaolan applied acupuncture on several major acupuncture points on Mr. Lin's body. Not long after, the old man on the bed fell asleep.
Lin Lifeng and Zhao Lihan walked side by side, crossed a narrow street, and soon arrived at their destination - the bungalow not far from Grandpa Lin's house.
This bungalow looks a bit old, and the traces of time are clearly visible, but it gives people an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
The entire exterior wall of the house is covered with lush ivy, as if it were wearing a green coat.
These ivy plants grew very lushly, their vines intertwined with each other, densely covering the wall without leaving any gaps.
As they arrived at the door of a house, they heard a baby crying from inside.
Lin Lifeng's face darkened instantly after hearing the crying. He didn't even have time to greet Zhao Lihan before he quickly opened the door and hurried inside.
Zhao Lihan immediately followed and walked into the house.
The first thing that caught my eye was a young and beautiful woman, her clothes a little disheveled, and the baby in her arms crying non-stop.
She was frantically changing the clothes for the little life in her arms. She carefully put the clothes on the baby, and just as she put one arm in, before she could tuck the other arm into the sleeve, the chubby little arm quickly slipped out of the clothes like a slippery fish.
She looked at the naughty little guy helplessly, a trace of anxiety and helplessness on her face. She took a deep breath, calmed herself, and tried to put clothes on the child again.
This time, she was even more careful, afraid of hurting the baby, but the more nervous she became, the more clumsy her movements became. The baby seemed dissatisfied with her mother and became even more uncooperative, just crying loudly.
She slowly raised her head, and her eyes happened to meet the two people who had just walked in from the door. She couldn't help but feel an indescribable embarrassment in her heart.
Especially when her eyes fell on Lin Lifeng, the grievance surged into her heart like a tide, and her eyes instantly became moist and filled with tears...
Lin Lifeng took two steps at a time, came to her, and carefully took the child.
He coaxed, rocking his arm gently and whispering softly in the baby's ear.
The baby seemed to understand his words, and the crying gradually subsided. Instead, a pair of watery eyes looked at Lin Lifeng curiously. Then, the corners of the little guy's mouth slightly raised, and an innocent smile bloomed.
At this moment, Lin Lifeng also laughed and took the opportunity to skillfully dress the baby. Then he gestured to the bewildered woman standing nearby to go into the inner room and clean herself up.
Zhao Lihan looked around the house. It was a straight-through house with a partition wall in the middle, dividing it into two rooms, front and back.
There is a living room in the front, bedrooms in the back, and the kitchen on the left side of the house.
This apartment was allocated to them by the Public Security Bureau based on their rank. In this era of housing shortages, being able to get such an apartment was already a great achievement.
Just as Zhao Lihan was looking at the house, Lin Lifeng greeted Zhao Lihan embarrassedly.
"Li Han, the house is a bit messy, please sit down!"
As she spoke, she lowered her head, put her face close to the baby, and coaxed softly: "Baby, daddy is not at home, you have to listen to mommy..."
The little baby seemed to understand what Lin Lifeng said. It made a "hmm" sound in response and started to communicate with Lin Lifeng in babbling.
Zhao Lihan stared at the scene in front of him, and a warm feeling surged in his heart like a tide.
