Chapter 394 I Don’t Understand
Most people would be shocked reflexively when hearing this, and would instinctively suspect that it is difficult to pry into other people's family affairs, and then would back off.
Du Xiuyuan was no exception. When he heard this, his heart couldn't help but tremble, but he still couldn't suppress his active curiosity and nodded firmly.
"If you want to hear it, just tell me. Just tell me. As long as you are willing to tell me, I will give you the global limited edition figurine I just bought two days ago."
"No need for the figurine. I can tell you, but you have to promise me not to spread it. This is someone else's privacy, and it cannot be made public without their consent. Just like your family's affairs, if those two old guys hadn't come to make trouble, would you be willing to bring it to school and let people talk about it at will?"
As soon as Duan Rao said this, the brother and sister straightened their faces and said seriously, "We promise not to tell anyone."
"Their family's situation is somewhat similar to yours, but not quite. The main difference is that Miss Guo's mother is not an only child. She has an older brother, so her husband did not marry into her family, but married into the family as a common man."
"Then what is the situation you are talking about that is very similar to our family? Could it be that..."
Du Anrao met Du Xiuyuan's inquiring gaze and nodded meaningfully.
One thing that is very similar between Guo Meizhen's family and her cousin's family is that both of them married husbands who attach great importance to the inheritance of descendants, and the focus is on this.
Guo Meizhen's father's family was extremely patriarchal, and for the sake of their reputation in public, they refused to admit it. Guo Meizhen's mother did not realize it at first until she gave birth to Guo Meizhen.
"Guo Meizhen's mother and her family are all regular employees of a regular company. When she was born, it was a critical period for family planning. With her status, she could only have one child, whether it was a boy or a girl, otherwise she would lose her job and her family might be affected."
Of course, it is also possible that she noticed the Guo family's nature of favoring boys over girls and was worried that if she had another child, if it was a boy, her eldest daughter would be treated unfairly and suffer too much grievance.
"In short, Miss Guo's mother was determined to have only Miss Guo as her child, but the Guo family didn't want that. They only had one son, and they were hoping to have a grandson to carry on the family line. So, these people began to murder Miss Guo for eight years."
"Murder?!"
Everyone in the car was shocked: "Sister, what you mean is that the things you said about Guo Meizhen before she was eight years old were done by her father's people, just for..."
"Kill her or throw her away, so there is a reason to let Miss Guo's mother have another child."
"What if the second child is also a daughter?"
Du Anrao glanced at Du Xiuyuan and did not answer, but everyone already had the answer in their hearts.
Because of this, several people felt terrified. Many people didn't even dare to kill a chicken, but these people could plot and murder their blood relatives for eight years. This was simply...
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so are they still considered human beings?"
"Never underestimate human nature. Some people can be worse than animals when they are evil. Do you know why Miss Guo has not encountered those dirty tricks since she was eight years old? Has she become safer?"
Du Yuxi's eyes flickered: "It was because Madam Guo discovered what they were doing and protected Miss Guo."
This could explain why Mrs. Guo asked her daughter to take a year off from school after she nearly drowned. She also took several months off to send her daughter to her grandparents. I'm afraid that by then Mrs. Guo had already realized that her husband's family had murderous intentions towards her daughter.
"That's one reason. I guess Miss Guo's mother must have sensed something from her falling into the water, and warned the Guo family, making them realize that it would not work to murder Miss Guo and have her mother give birth to another daughter. So, they gave up this intention and found another way."
"Take a different approach? How do you take a different approach?"
"Find another woman outside and have her give him another son."
This is what Du Anrao saw from Guo Meizhen's face. In Guo Meizhen's brothers' palace, he could see that she had a half-brother who was about seven years old.
Guo Meizhen is sixteen years old this year. If her younger brother is seven years old, he would have been born when she was around nine years old.
Considering the accident that happened when she was eight years old, it is likely that her father quickly found a woman to marry and gave birth to this illegitimate child who could not be presented in public.
"This is too..." Du Xiuyuan was full of anger. "No wonder my cousin said that our family's situation is very similar to hers. We both found another woman to give birth to a son for the so-called continuation of the family line. The two old people in the family probably know about it too. They might even help cover it up. This is simply too cruel and too much!"
Compared to her brother's grief and indignation, Du Yunni, the elder sister, seemed much calmer.
Duan Rao quickly noticed her abnormality and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"I do not understand."
"What don't you understand?"
"Since they are not satisfied with their marriage and children, why don't they choose to end this marriage and start another one? Instead, they choose such an immoral betrayal.
Forget about my dad. He has bad intentions. He even approached my mom with a purpose. Guo Meizhen's father is different. Sister, you just said that their family is well-off. The man's family seems to be better off than the woman's. Could it be that he is worried that the woman will take his family property after the divorce?"
"Indeed, many men choose not to divorce, and a big reason is that they don't want the woman to take away their common property. Even if the woman works hard to give birth to children for them and take care of the housework, they still feel that if the other party takes even a dollar from them, they will suffer a loss. But the Guo family is not really worried about the money, they are worried about the connections and convenience that the woman's family can bring to them."
Du Anrao just said that Guo Meizhen's mother is a regular employee of a regular unit.
In fact, it's not just her, her parents, her brother and sister-in-law are also on the list.
Because of their existence, the Guo family gained many conveniences. They wanted a son, but were reluctant to give up the convenience that Mrs. Guo's family could bring to them, so they would rather raise another woman outside to give birth to a son than divorce Mrs. Guo.
This way, they can get the best of both worlds, but from the perspective of Mrs. Guo and her daughter, it is really disgusting.
"In the final analysis, it's just that they are too greedy. Most people have been making choices since they were born, and they are only willing to take, not give up. So in order to get what they want and keep things that are beneficial to them, they can do whatever it takes and do all kinds of immoral and evil things."
Just like a gambler, he is betting on that one in ten million chance of success and firmly believes that he will be the final winner.
