Chapter 2 Great Joy
"How dare you agree to that?! This is clearly bullying!"
The walls in the compound had no soundproofing effect at all, let alone Zhao Yuling's loud shout.
There were quite a few people quietly watching outside their door, discussing one thing after another.
"What happened?" Didn't Song Yanzhou just come back? How come it has become so popular?
"I heard that Song Yanzhou picked a wife for himself and asked someone to hold a wedding right after he came back, without even asking Zhao Yuling and her husband. Tsk tsk."
"What?! Song Yanzhou is getting married?! I haven't heard the news before, don't talk nonsense..."
"Just watch, I'm sure I heard it right."
"Yan Zhou is such a worrying kid. I used to envy Zhao Yuling."
Everyone nodded. Yes, Zhao Yuling could be said to be the happiest woman in their compound.
Her husband has a good temper and she has both a son and a daughter. That's fine. Her son and daughter are both very capable. Her daughter is in the art troupe and her son is in the army. I heard that his position is not low and his rank is not low. What exactly does he do? When one of the military wives asked about it, they all said it was at the confidential level.
That was truly extraordinary. Many people had long been envious of Zhao Yuling. Now that the Zhao family was in such a big fuss, everyone gathered to watch the fun.
In the courtyard, Zhao Yuling looked at her son with an indifferent expression. The more silent he was, the more Zhao Yuling felt that it would be better if she had not given birth to this son!
What’s the use of having such a pretty face? ! I’m 25 and I can’t even find a wife.
That’s fine. If he can’t kidnap a wife, he can be patient for the time being. But Song Yanzhou went to the Ye family and came back to tell her that he wanted her to prepare for his marriage? !
Zhao Yuling hadn't figured out what was going on yet. After asking for a long time, Song Yanzhou said nothing and just walked out.
Her husband came back this afternoon and she finally found out what had happened!
Even the old man called her to warn her not to interfere with Song Yanzhou's decision.
But how could Zhao Yuling not intervene? !
The Ye family wanted her son to be a stepping stone for their daughter who appeared out of nowhere! !
She raised her son, and it doesn't matter how she beats or scolds him. He is just being used as a stepping stone for others. How can she not feel distressed?
After marrying such a woman, Song Yanzhou's life is over!
It’s not that she discriminates against people with autism, but this kind of people are not suitable for starting a family, let alone being charged with the crime of espionage.
Zhao Yuling could not just watch her son fight for his military achievements and guarantee Ye Mu's safety.
Everyone is selfish, and she will definitely favor her own son.
"Mom, I've already agreed, so don't mention it again. Ye Mu will be able to come out tomorrow. Let's just have a simple banquet first. I've asked Dad to submit the marriage report for me."
Song Yanzhou knew that his mother would definitely object, but since he had agreed, there was no way he could go back on his word.
Zhao Yuling followed him into the house. She was much calmer now. She looked at his tall back and asked:
"Do you know that if you marry that Ye Mu, not to mention your future, your entire life will be ruined? If you don't marry a wife you like, or someone who understands you, you will regret it later!"
"Song Yanzhou, you have the right idea. I, your mother, usually don't care about you much, but you can't just decide on this important matter in your life. Suffering and being uncomfortable are just small matters. What if you... fall in love with another girl?!"
He knows his own son well. Song Yanzhou is still single at such an old age. Isn't it because he is picky and has high standards?
Zhao Yuling would never believe that he would like a little girl with autism.
Song Yanzhou certainly considered this aspect, and he did agree to it, but he never thought of ruining his marriage like this.
"Mom, Ye Mu just needs my identity to help him clear his name. I can help Old Master Ye, and Grandpa has also said that we will divorce later."
This is also the reason why Song Yanzhou was willing to agree, otherwise he would never let his marriage be completely ruined because of a stranger.
But who would have thought that Zhao Yuling's reaction would be even greater when she heard his words.
"divorce?!!"
Zhao Yuling's eyes widened, and she even wanted to pick up a feather duster and hit Song Yanzhou with it!
But when I think about it carefully, I know that this is the only way.
After she carefully considered the pros and cons, she felt indignant:
"Even if you can get a divorce, you are a soldier and you are getting divorced like this. What will others think? Are you not a good person? Ah! You are so young and you are already getting married for the second time. How will you find a wife in the future?!"
Song Yanzhou pursed his lips and said nothing, his temperament becoming increasingly cold. He was silent for a long time. When Zhao Yuling was furious, Song Yanzhou just left a cold back and went upstairs directly.
But Zhao Yuling was so angry that as soon as Song Changting came back in the evening, Zhao Yuling complained to him, and then Song Yanzhou was called into the study by his father.
Old Song sat in the Ye family for a whole day and came back in the evening. When Zhao Yuling saw Old Song come in, she sighed deeply towards her father-in-law.
She knew that this matter was definitely not just the reason why Mr. Ye persuaded Song Yanzhou.
Song Yanzhou's personality is not something that can be easily shaken. What's more, the people that soldiers hate the most are spies. Even if Ye Mu and the others say that she is innocent, in Zhao Yuling's view, what has been done has been done.
If everything in this world had a reason, no bad person would be truly bad.
Therefore, to distinguish between good and evil, black and white, just look at the outcome of an event.
The crime of being a spy is treason. The Ye family is saying it in a nice way, but they just want to make up for the past.
When Mr. Song heard Zhao Yuling sigh, he knew why she sighed, but he didn't say anything and went straight to the study.
So Song Changting was called into the study. When Song Yanzhou came out of the study and went downstairs, he saw his grandmother coming back from a visit.
Seeing Song Yanzhou, Grandma Song also knew about what happened today. She went out to tell other people about it today to prevent those gossiping women outside from gossiping about it and making the matter worse.
"Yanzhou, come and sit down." Grandma Song waved to Song Yanzhou.
Song Yanzhou walked over to the sofa opposite her and sat down, straightening his back and looking at her, his expression as indifferent as ever.
Grandma Song looked at him and sighed. She couldn't tell whether Song Yanzhou's decision was right or wrong. This was a favor owed by them in this lifetime, but she didn't expect that Song Yanzhou would have to pay it back.
"Grandma still remembers that when you were a child, people always mistook you for a girl. The kid next door cried for several days after he found out you were a boy."
Song Yanzhou didn't expect his grandmother to bring up something from such a long time ago. To be honest, he didn't want to mention anything from his childhood.
Because of his handsome appearance, he was mistaken for a girl since he was a child. Things got better after he joined the army, but this face also brought him a lot of trouble.
At least, the beauties surrounding this face are trouble in Song Yanzhou's eyes.
"Grandma, let's not talk about the past." He knew that the old lady felt guilty for agreeing to this, but the decision was his own. "There's nothing wrong with doing this, grandma. Mr. Ye and grandpa are good friends, so we should help where we can."
Grandma Song nodded, reached out and patted Song Yanzhou's hand on his knee and said, "Good boy."
Then she sighed with melancholy, her eyes seemed to be a little moist:
"When you were little, your mother and I said that since you were such a handsome boy, when you grow up, the wife you kidnapped might not be that pretty. Who knows..."
"Mom, it's time to eat." Zhao Yuling came out of the kitchen and heard Grandma Song's words. She remembered when Song Yanzhou was still a child. When she looked at Song Yanzhou again, she was suddenly surprised to realize that her son had grown so much.
To stand up, she had to look up. She was about 1.80 meters tall. Although her face was still prettier than many girls, she would no longer be considered a woman.
Thinking about Song Yanzhou's matter, she was no longer angry, but only worried about her son.
"Okay, let's eat." Grandma Song nodded, and then started to go upstairs. "I'll go call the old man and ask him to go into the study and not come out. Do the father and son want to read in the study tonight?"
After Grandma Song went upstairs, Zhao Yuling served the dishes with her aunt and asked Song Yanzhou who was helping:
"You said you can get a divorce, but when can you get one? It can't be a few years or decades, right? That would delay you."
Thinking of this, she became anxious again.
Song Yanzhou, the person involved, was not in a hurry. He said, "Three months at most, Mom, don't worry. We have to wait until all the disturbances of this matter have died down. Only then can we ensure that after Ye Mu and I divorce, the old case will not be brought up by someone with ulterior motives."
"Forget it, when will the wedding banquet be held? Ye Mu is not in Sijiu City, what should we do with the wedding banquet?" Zhao Yuling was getting worried. Song Yanzhou said, "Hold it directly. The groom is here."
Zhao Yuling was really furious this time, she picked up a feather duster beside her and hit him twice. When the people coming down from upstairs saw this, they hurried to try to persuade them to leave.
"He's so old, and you still beat him. Yanzhou has to save his reputation too. You can't beat the child when he grows up!" Grandma Song deliberately put on a stern face, but she didn't get angry with her daughter-in-law. She also knew that she felt sorry for Song Yanzhou.
Zhao Yuling's eyes turned red, and she said, "Listen to what he said. The girl is in H Province, and he said that the banquet should be held like this, and he, the groom, is here!?"
"I've heard of soldiers getting married and not being able to make it on a mission, but I've never heard of a bride not being able to get married!"
"I raised my son to this age, and for such a big thing as getting married, he has to suffer such a huge injustice - it really makes me so angry."
After all, he still felt sorry for his child. After this incident, Song Changting quickly comforted his wife, and then set the date for the banquet for tomorrow at the dinner table.
On the one hand, the situation on Ye Mu's side was urgent, and the sooner they got here the better. Holding a banquet in the compound would also give Ye Mu a clear way out.
On the other hand, Song Yanzhou’s vacation this time is only three days, and he has to go back to Province F after three days.
When asked about how Ye Mu would arrange things after the wedding, Zhao Yuling was furious. She didn't want to see her future nominal daughter-in-law at all, so she said directly:
"I don't know how to take care of an autistic person. Since you want to take her on, you can let her go with you to the army."
Elder Song nodded and said, "It's better to go to the army. It's simple and no one will bother the little girl. I heard that this disease can't stand being scared."
Grandma Song sighed and said, "It was because of the fear he felt during that fight that he became like this. He is such a pitiful person."
Zhao Yuling was speechless when she heard this. The situation seemed to have calmed down a lot in the past year or so, but the momentum back then was enough to turn the whole country upside down.
If the Song family had not helped the Ye family at that time, they would have been defeated.
After learning how Ye Mu got his autism, Zhao Yuling felt a little more sympathetic. Even adults who went on the stage for criticism would often go crazy when they came down.
Never mind the kids.
She looked at her handsome son again, and only three words remained in her mind to describe this matter: What a sin...
The next day in the compound, the news of the marriage between the Song and Ye families shocked many people.
Some people speculated that the Song family and the Ye family would get married, but what was going on with this country girl Ye Mu who suddenly appeared?
At the lively banquet, the only thing seen was the groom, who was wearing a red ribbon and a big red flower, and a straight green military uniform. He looked dignified and handsome.
The bride was missing, and when asked, I found out that Song Yanzhou had lost a fool!
Oh, it's not a fool, it's called autism.
"If not a fool, what is that?" Some people discussed in a low voice, and then quickly shut up. They were still having a feast here, how dare they say something about someone else's wife in person?
Song Yanzhou's expression was as cold as ever. Many people speculated that Song Yanzhou was unwilling to get married, but some people also said that Song Yanzhou had a cold face every day.
No one could tell any emotion from his face.
But he probably wouldn't be happy marrying such a wife. Seeing that Zhao Yuling couldn't smile, some people guessed that there was something wrong.
Got married suddenly.
After more careful inquiries, they found out that it was an arranged marriage between Old Master Ye and Old Master Song for their grandson. Looking at Song Yanzhou's tall and straight figure, everyone thought that this child marriage was a fatal one.
Song Yanzhou was such a beautiful flower in the eyes of the women of marriageable age in their compound, but now he was stuck in cow dung.
Song Yanzhou's former brothers in the army came specially to attend his wedding, and this is what happened.
Looking at Song Yanzhou, everyone was speechless. One of the flat-headed guys punched him and asked, "What's going on?"
"It's a child marriage, don't ask." Song Yanzhou didn't want to lie to his former brother, but this excuse was discussed by the two families, not only for Ye Mu, but also for Song Yanzhou.
Seeing that he looked strange, everyone didn't say much. They had trained together, waded through rivers and rolled in mud together, been injured together, and had a life-and-death friendship. They knew that there was no point in asking too many questions about some things, and every family has its own problems.
"Anyway, you're getting married today, it's a happy day. I don't know what's wrong with your sister-in-law, maybe she has autism, but if it's a disease, she can be cured. I wish your sister-in-law to recover soon, and you two are well and have a happy marriage."
"Brother Song, my sister-in-law is not here, I also hope that she can recover from her illness soon, and that you two can have a baby soon."
Those who joined the army before Song Yanzhou called him "brother", and those who joined the army later or worked under him called him "brother".
The atmosphere at this table is particularly good, as these guys are all sincere brothers.
Song Yanzhou nodded and drank a glass of wine, but there was no warmth in his phoenix eyes.
A happy day?
There was no joy in it for him, he just had to act to save people.
Helping Ye Mu was like a mission for him that he had to complete.
Just like some special missions, soldiers are required to pretend to be various identities, and some of them pretend to be couples.
The wedding banquet was hurriedly prepared in Sijiu City, and Song Yanzhou's marriage report was also submitted. With the joint efforts of the Song and Ye families, H Province will soon get the news.
Ye Mu didn't know that he would be able to leave this small dark room soon. He was just waiting for their next interrogation.
