What Xia Zheng has always wanted is a family. He used to think that getting married and having a loving mother and filial children is a family.
But after listening to Bai Lu's words today, I felt something inexplicably filling my heart, and it burst out!
He wanted a child, even if it wasn't his own! However, the thought of becoming a father and raising a child gave him a fulfilling sense of home!
He will be the father of that child, giving the child a home and also giving himself a home! And then he will raise the child...
Maybe he could have done this many years ago, but he never thought of it.
Xia Zheng left the office and met his stepmother at the door of the National Security Bureau.
The stepmother immediately rushed over, "Xia Zheng! How's it going? Did they approve your divorce? I was saying that the wife you married was no good. You wanted to marry her and gave her so much betrothal money. Now that you're getting a divorce, can you get that betrothal money back? You should get at least half of it back!"
"Aunt, starting next month, I will no longer be responsible for supporting you. I plan to adopt a child and raise him. Your biological daughter will be responsible for your support!"
This was the first time Xia Zheng said such words to his stepmother. In the past, he always agreed to whatever his stepmother said.
The stepmother was stunned for a moment. "What did you say? I raised you up to this age, and you say you won't support me anymore?"
Xia Zheng used to think that it was his stepmother who raised him.
But it was not until today that I realized that when my father was alive, he was the one who earned money to support the whole family. After he passed away, I was the one who earned money to support the whole family.
The stepmother is responsible for getting a fixed amount of money every month and then supporting Liu Zinan.
"You ungrateful bastard! How could you do this? I'm going to find your leader and sue you!"
The stepmother said this, dragging Liu Zinan along and starting to make a scene in front of the National Security Bureau again, yelling at the top of her lungs, "Oh! Damn it! They raised me and then left me alone! My life is so miserable!"
Xia Zheng's scalp tingled. Looking at his stepmother's behavior, he just wanted to stop her, but thinking of Bai Lu and Jun Zheng's embarrassing words, he decided to let her make a fuss!
Make it a big deal! It’s best if everyone knows about it!
It just so happened that he took advantage of the fact that everyone knew about it and announced that he couldn't have children and set Xiao Malan free!
He needed to start a new life, otherwise he would lose the motivation to live if he continued to be suppressed like this...
The stepmother cried and screamed, and looked extremely miserable.
Liu Zinan knew that what his mother did was wrong, but he also felt that his brother was going too far!
"Brother, why don't you care about mom anymore? What will happen to her in the future?" Liu Zinan also blamed Xia Zheng.
"Auntie is your biological mother. I have done enough over the years and raised you. Do you still plan to let me support you for the rest of your life? Don't I have to live on my own?" Xia Zheng has taken care of Liu Zinan like his own sister over the years.
Although he did not help her get a backdoor deal with the South Island Art Troupe, Liu Zinan did not let her down in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
It can be said that all of Liu Zinan’s expenses in the past few days were paid by him!
When Liu Zinan was in the art troupe, Xia Zheng had no idea where her allowance went. After all, he had never seen a penny.
"Yes, we are a family!" Liu Zinan was puzzled.
Of course she didn't understand.
After being a parasite for a long time, you will take everything for granted. You will ask for whatever you want from those who provide you with food, shelter and transportation, but you will not know how to be grateful.
"What kind of family are we? Dad used to support you and your son. After he passed away, your mom never gave me a penny of her savings. She sent me to the army. Initially, she made 25 yuan a month. She told me to keep eight yuan for myself and send the rest back home. If I didn't take on missions, I wouldn't be able to save any money. After we got married, every time the money was late, you would call me at work and cry about me being unfilial and abandoning your mother!
But Liu Zinan, what kind of mother is your mother to me? The mother who cooked for me for over a year using my father's money? Or the mother who asked me to support her after my father passed away? I joined the army at the age of 16, and for over a decade, I've raised you from the age of three! I've done more than enough, and I don't feel like I owe your mother or you anything!
On the contrary, if I hadn't supported you and your mother, how would you have lived since my father passed away?"
Xia Zheng's words left Liu Zinan with his mouth open, unable to make any rebuttal.
"What's more, your mom and my dad don't even have a marriage certificate!" Xia Zheng's words became more and more fluent.
I feel more and more comfortable in my heart.
He never dared to say these words before.
He wanted his family so badly.
In the past, he treated these people as his family and relatives.
But! Today he finally thought clearly that he could also give himself a home! Instead of pinning his family affection on someone who would never give back!
After hearing what Xia Zheng said, the stepmother cried even louder and scolded even more harshly!
"Ah! This is so heartless! I raised you with so much hardship, and you actually said that your father and I weren't even married! Xia Zheng, you're a beast! You were born by a mother but not raised by one, and you..."
"shut up!"
Jun Zhengnan was originally on the third floor of the courtyard and had no intention of coming down to deal with the matter. He just planned to wait until the time was almost up and then send someone to the police station to take the troublemakers away directly.
However, Xia Zheng's stepmother looked like she was at a funeral. Bai Lu said that the bureau had to intervene in this matter, otherwise, if Xia Zheng was too soft-hearted, the problem would not be completely solved.
Bai Lu misjudged Xia Zheng this time. He was really determined, but he was not as vicious as his stepmother.
Jun Zheng was embarrassed to interrupt Xia Zheng's talk about his stepmother. Just as he was about to speak, Bai Lu pulled his sleeve.
Jun Zheng turned around embarrassedly, and Bai Lu shook her head at him.
At this time, the leader cannot use coercion, but can only show that he wants to reconcile, otherwise the entire situation will be criticized.
But Bai Lu was used to being a devil, and she didn't care what people said about her. If anyone dared, just say it to her face! She would slap the other person in the face!
"Xia Zheng, I was saying that when we were in South Island, you looked like a regiment leader, but your life was so miserable. It turns out you had to support such a group of parasites!" Bai Lu spoke in advance, and then glanced at Liu Zinan.
Liu Zinan shuddered and subconsciously wanted to hide behind Xia Zheng, but Xia Zheng did not let her hide and dodged her.
Liu Zinan ran to his mother's side and grabbed the woman's sleeve tightly.
Liu Zinan was afraid of Bai Lu. The shadows Bai Lu had cast on her during their time in South Island were still there! In Liu Zinan's heart, this woman was a demon!
The stepmother was unhappy when her sleeve was pulled. She thought her daughter was trying to help Xia Zheng and scolded her, "You useless little bitch! I'm your biological mother. If you dare to help him, you'll have to live with him from now on!"
Liu Zinan hid behind his mother and whispered, "Bai Lu, the one I told you about, Bai Lu..."
