Chapter 21: The ex is back, the current one is in Shura Field
As soon as Song's mother finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent.
Shen Jinxiao's eyebrows jumped fiercely. He really didn't expect that this topic would be related to him.
Seeing Captain Shen, who was rumored to be aloof from women, Father and Mother Meng both lowered their heads silently and dared not say a word.
Who wouldn't want to marry this big shot?
But they knew that their daughters were not worthy of him.
Given his family background, status, and looks, they would not dare to put their daughter's name together with his, let alone ask him to be the scapegoat.
Mr. Shen tapped his cane, instantly pulling away from the awkward atmosphere.
He looked at his daughter, an aura of majesty condensed from his body.
He asked his daughter, "Shen Ting, what are your sons' surnames? I ask you!"
"How dare you push your brother out to make trouble now?"
These two sentences made Song's father feel even more ashamed.
Originally, Song's father married into the Shen family.
Song's mother felt sorry for her sons having the surname Shen, so she discussed with her old father and took over the marriage contract that was originally supposed to go to her younger brother Shen Jinxiao and gave it to her own son, so that her old father agreed to let her three sons have the surname Song.
Now, Song's mother realized that she had said something wrong and her face turned red.
Father Song took his wife's hand and bowed to his father-in-law, and once again made a solemn promise to the Meng couple, "Don't worry, if you prefer our second son, then it's the second son. This marriage is settled!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Meng's expressions eased a little and they breathed a sigh of relief.
The two looked at each other, and the stone in their hearts fell to the ground.
After all, they have seen all kinds of people and are always very good at judging people.
The second son of the Song family is obviously a loyal, simple-minded, and good man who knows how to live a good life.
They felt relieved to leave their daughter to him.
Instead, Shen Jinxiao sat stiffly in his seat, feeling mixed emotions.
Just now he was still wondering why the Meng couple didn't do as his sister said and catch him and make him take responsibility?
Is it because he is not good enough?
But the next second, he heard that the engagement between the girl from the Meng family was originally with him, and he inexplicably felt unpleasant as if something had been robbed.
The hall was noisy at this moment. Mr. Shen and Father Song were diligently pulling Father and Mother Meng to discuss how to hold a big banquet. They even thought further into the future and discussed with a smile how many tables to set up for the full moon wine.
Shen Jinxiao felt uneasy listening to this, and his mood was inexplicably the same as when he heard that his eldest nephew was going to the countryside with his fiancée more than a year ago. His chest was filled with suffocation.
He couldn't bear to listen any longer, so he stood up and went upstairs.
Song Shiyu, who had been standing aside as if he were an invisible person, felt his scalp tingling when he saw that the mother, who used to stand up for their brothers, was now standing there like a quail, looking dispirited.
Just now, Song's mother treated him differently. She was reluctant to let the second brother take over the eldest brother's child, but directly pushed him to be the one to take over. It really broke his heart.
He didn't understand. Other parents loved their youngest children, but he was not loved by his father or mother. All the grievances he had suffered over the years were enough to make him shed a bowl of tears and drink it like wine.
Even so, he was still thinking about what to do with that poor second brother?
My second brother is already in his twenties and he just finally fell in love with a girl, but they are about to separate them.
Song Shiyu stared at the whole family, but his body was pressed against the wall, tiptoeing like a cat, and moving forward step by step.
Finally, he moved to the door and completely disappeared from everyone's sight, then he ran towards the door in a hurry.
He had only run a few steps when he bumped into Song Shixuan who was coming home late.
At this moment, Song Shixuan had his head hung as usual, his expression full of disappointment and fatigue, and in his hand was still holding the collector's edition of "Collection of Chinese Herbal Medicines" that had not been given away.
More than a year has passed, and he still can't wait for the girl he loves at first sight.
As soon as he stepped into the courtyard, he saw Song Shiyu running out in a panic and running towards him.
"Shi Yu, what happened?"
"Run, second brother, you are going to be someone's cheap father. If you don't run now, your life will be ruined!"
Without waiting for Song Shixuan to ask any more questions, Song Shiyu told him exactly what had happened inside.
Song Shixuan's whole body froze, unable to believe that this family sold him out so easily.
Seeing that his second brother was still in a trance, Song Shiyu took out his wallet, stuffed the 200 yuan living allowance he had just received this month into his hand, and pushed him out, "Brother, run away quickly, and don't come back to this family. Dad can let you raise eldest brother's children today, and you can also let you raise eldest brother tomorrow. The sooner you run away, the better.
The two of them pushed and shoved their way to the door.
Song Shixuan held a stack of money in his hand and hugged his good brother with emotion. When he was about to say a few sad words of parting, a figure suddenly appeared at the door, which made his pupils tremble. He took several steps back holding Song Shiyu in his arms.
"Brother, why are you back?"
Song Shixuan said, looking at Su Yanyan who suddenly appeared behind Song Shijing, and asked in confusion, "Didn't you two elope? Why are you back again?"
"Who eloped with whom? Who told you this nonsense?"
Song Shijing frowned and looked into the house, and asked anxiously, "I just went to your sister-in-law's clinic, and the apprentice there said that your father-in-law and mother-in-law came to the house. Is your sister-in-law there too?"
Song Shixuan and Song Shiyu, who were hugging each other, looked at each other, and then looked at Song Shijing, their faces were full of shock and confusion, "Brother, the sister-in-law you are talking about is not the girl from the Meng family, right?"
"Who else?"
Song Shijing was extremely speechless. He stared at the two people who were huddled together like sissies, then walked past them and went straight back into the house.
A group of people in the room were discussing heatedly.
Song's father was so excited that he named the children on the spot and wrote several names for both a boy and a girl on the paper.
Old Master Shen and Mr. and Mrs. Meng surrounded Mr. Song, grinning from ear to ear and praising the name repeatedly.
Only Meng's mother was slumped in the chair, her whole body seemed to be frozen, even her expression was numb.
"Mom, I'm back!"
Song Shijing shouted, walked up quickly and hugged Mother Song, tears flashing in his eyes, "I haven't seen you for more than a year, your son misses you so much!"
Mother Song's frozen body seemed to slowly warm up. She raised her hand and touched the person in front of her in disbelief.
Finally, her silent eyes suddenly lit up as if hope was rekindled.
"Shi Jing, you're finally back. I thought you would never come back because of that bitch!"
As Song's mother was speaking, her eyes met with Su Yanyan, who had just stepped in from the door with a pale face. She felt awkward for a moment, but she quickly turned her face away and just hugged her son and burst into tears, with countless grievances in her heart that she had no place to vent.
The few people who had just been discussing the marriage and the child's name were also startled by the noise beside them, and all looked at Song Shijing who suddenly appeared in surprise.
The next second after seeing Song Shijing, Meng's father and mother felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
He was just immersed in the beautiful dream of having the good young man Song Shixuan as his son-in-law, but now his dream was completely shattered by the sudden appearance of his former son-in-law.
