Chapter 438 "Your father has probably already remarried and had a new baby outside!"
(Thanks to mumeipi for casting a monthly vote.)
Li Qiutian was already upset because of the sudden news of her biological father.
She didn't know what the outcome would be three months later with the letter she sent through Manager Jin.
At the same time, she also felt that if she told Zheng Meiniang this news, what if this so-called father was an imposter, and she still couldn't find her real father in the future, or what if her real father had already died?
As a result, when Qin Fen learned about this, his first worry was that he wouldn't be able to marry her.
This made Li Qiutian so angry that she laughed in exasperation!
"Qin Fen! You..."
Li Qiutian angrily raised her hand to grab Qin Fen's ear, but Qin Fen was much taller than Li Qiutian.
Even with her arms raised high, Li Qiutian still couldn't reach Qin Fen's earlobe.
However, Qin Fen was considerate. Seeing that Li Qiutian couldn't catch him, he turned to the side, bent down, and stuffed his ear into Li Qiutian's hand.
Li Qiutian finally managed to grab Qin Fen's ear, but she only gave it a light twist. Before Qin Fen could cry out in pain, Zheng Meiniang, who looked up and saw this, immediately scolded, "Qiutian! How could you pull your son-in-law's ear like that! Let go!"
"It's alright, Auntie. She didn't exert much force in the fall, it doesn't hurt."
After Qin Fen's antics, Li Qiutian's anxiety and worry about learning about her biological father from Li Shiyue were greatly relieved.
Li Qiutian lowered her hand and glared at Qin Fen, but she had only glared at him for a moment when she heard Zheng Meiniang call out to her: "Why are you glaring at him?"
Your son-in-law is so much younger than you, how can you not show him some consideration?
Before Li Qiutian could even open his mouth to retort, Zheng Meiniang waved to Qin Fen.
Qin Fen looked at Li Qiutian, and only after Li Qiutian nodded did Qin Fen go to Zheng Meiniang's side.
"Don't worry, you're the son-in-law I've taken in, so you're our family's eldest son-in-law!"
Even if Qiutian's father doesn't acknowledge you from now on, I will still acknowledge you!
In a couple of days, I'll ask someone to choose an auspicious date to see which days before the new year are lucky.
Let's avoid the autumn harvest and choose an auspicious day for you to marry autumn!
Qin Fen truly never expected such a big surprise today!
"Yes! I'll listen to whatever you say, Auntie!"
"Mother! I..."
"You, you, you what you!"
Don't you even know how old you are now?
Look at Xia Tian, Pingping and An'an are almost three years old, and you're still nagging me!
"Summer is summer, but I am not summer, so why should I be like her?"
Besides, in October she…”
Li Shiyue was standing to the side holding Shitou's hand. When she heard her own name come out of Li Qiutian's mouth, she felt a little embarrassed.
She truly had no intention of getting married.
Even though Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang don't say anything to her directly all these years, their expressions clearly show their dissatisfaction that she is over twenty and still single.
She didn't want to be used as a shield for Li Qiutian's reluctance to marry after his shout.
So, Li Qiutian looked embarrassed and then nimbly hid behind the broad back of the stone.
The ostrich mentality, in some situations, can still be quite effective.
"Don't talk to me about October."
Can you be like October?
October is a person with great abilities!
You've been engaged to Qin Lang for almost a year now!
If you wait until you want to get married, how long will that take?
You don't need to say anything more, Mother has already decided on this matter!
When I have some free time, I'll ask about the wedding date. Your wedding with Qin Lang absolutely must happen before the end of this year!
Seeing that Zheng Meiniang had stopped talking, and that Li Qiutian looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to, Li Shiyue quickly pulled Shitou forward and poured a glass of water for Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang.
Then, after carefully observing the expressions of Li's mother and Zheng Meiniang, and finding their complexions acceptable, she said to them, "Manager Jin said that there will be news within three months."
It's already August, and if we count three months, then news won't arrive until the eleventh month.
However, even if news comes by then, Youzhou is so far from Andong that if I want to meet them, I'll probably have to find an opportunity to go there.
If no opportunity can be found, then…”
Li Shiyue stopped there, but how could her mother and Zheng Meiniang not know what she was about to say?
"It's alright!"
Zheng Meiniang pulled Li Shiyue to sit down, patted her hand, and then looked at Li Qiutian who was standing.
"If we never see each other again for the rest of our lives, that's fine too!"
We've been in Andong for almost eight years now!
If you include the beginning and end of each year, and add it all up, it would be an exaggeration to say that it's been about ten years.
Ten years!
How many decades does one have in a lifetime?
So many years have passed, and I thought your uncle was long gone.
"Upon hearing this news from you all so suddenly, I..." Zheng Meiniang looked at Li's mother sitting on the other side beside her.
"After crying like this, your mother and I felt much less resentment and regret."
Regardless of whether you'll ever see your uncle again in this lifetime, if this news is true, then it's a good thing!
As long as your uncle is alive and well, that's good!
Whether we meet or not is no longer important.
It doesn't matter anymore.
If this news is false, then it's fate!
Your mother and I have long since accepted all of this.
As long as you few are around, your mother and I feel that life is fulfilling and that's enough!
Zheng Meiniang had already said so much, and Li Shiyue and Li Qiutian exchanged a glance and said nothing more.
"Where in the summer?"
"I'll go and talk to them."
Zheng Meiniang said this to Li Qiutian, then stood up and headed for the door.
"I'll go with Mother. Summer is here..."
Li Shiyue chimed in, "Then brother-in-law should come along too. It'll be good to bring Ping An and the other two along for fun, while your aunt and sister can talk alone."
Qin Fen readily agreed to Li Shiyue's request. In any case, ever since Zheng Meiniang promised to help him and Li Qiutian get married before the end of the year, he had been so happy that he had forgotten who he was.
Right now, you could probably ask him to run ten laps around the yard in the middle of summer, and he'd probably agree.
After Qin Fen carried Pingping and An'an away, even Li Xiatian, who was slow to react, knew that Zheng Meiniang and Li Qiutian had something important to tell her.
Otherwise, why would they send Ping An's two children away?
After listening to Li Qiutian's words, Li Xiatian was momentarily at a loss for what expression to make or what to say.
Therefore, Li Xiatian kept his mouth shut and didn't say a word.
"summer?"
"Summer, what's wrong with you?"
Li Xiatian looked up at Zheng Meiniang and Li Qiutian, who were looking at her with concern. "Mother, elder sister, when I heard what you said, I suddenly realized that I hadn't thought of Father for a long time."
Li Xiatian lowered her head, closed her eyes, and slowly sketched out Li Wangzheng's appearance in her mind.
Li Xiatian's words startled both Zheng Meiniang and Li Qiutian.
"These past two years you've been pregnant and given birth, and you've also had to take care of Pingping and An'an. Now that you're a mother, you're always worried about the children you gave birth to."
Your body is much weaker than before you had a baby, and you don't have as much energy as you used to.
"Even if it's been two or three years, it's normal for Li to forget your father and ask your mother to tell him."
Zheng Meiniang's words did not comfort Li Xiatian.
"Mother, I..."
"Don't even mention it to you. If it weren't for October bringing up this news today, I would have thought your father had died somewhere out there."
Tell me, how many years has it been?
Your dad has probably already remarried and had a new baby with another woman!
That is, the three of us, your aunt and Shiyue, have all missed him all these years.
If you ask me, your father might have already considered the three of us, mother and son, to be gone.
