Lianyi looked at the joy in Yu Meifeng's eyes and felt sorry for the original body's eldest son.
Her husband passed away, and she did not attend the funeral because of her pregnancy, and there was no sadness on her face. However, she did not even care about her own child, which was somewhat intriguing. Now that Yu Meifeng knew that the compensation had been paid, she took the initiative to go home without Lianyi asking her to do so.
Lian Yi just glanced at Yu Meifeng who was speaking insincerely, and said lightly:
"Since you said you would listen to me, I want to ask you one question before that. I hope you can tell me the truth because it will affect my allocation of the compensation."
Yu Meifeng's eyes flickered, and she was more cautious this time:
"Mom, just ask! I will tell you the truth."
"Dabao's father passed away. This was an accident. No one wanted to see it. I lost my eldest son, and you lost your husband. But you are still young. I want to ask, are you going to take another step forward, or just live with your two children?"
Yu Meifeng bit her lip and did not answer immediately. She was worried that if she said she would take a step forward, she would not get a penny of Song Qingshan's compensation.
Lian Yi glanced at the other party and continued:
"Meifeng, as a mother-in-law, I naturally hope that you can stay with Qingshan, but as a woman, I know how difficult it is to be a widow. I have suffered so much myself, and I don't want you to go through it again. Besides, you are still young, and it is understandable that you find someone to rely on. I can understand and I won't stop you."
Yu Meifeng was somewhat moved by Lianyi's words. Her eyes were slightly red. She didn't expect that the person who understood her the most and supported her to remarry was her mother-in-law. She choked up and said:
"Mom, thank you for understanding my difficulties. I am also a woman. I also want to have a husband who loves me and rely on me. I also hope that my family will be harmonious. Unfortunately, Qingshan..."
Before she finished speaking, she began to wipe away her tears.
Although she didn't say it directly, Lianyi understood what Yu Meifeng meant, so she continued:
"In that case, I'll send you off. You don't have to worry about it, Dabao. After all, the child's surname is Song, and it won't be easy for you to remarry if you keep the child. As for whether to keep the child in your belly, it's up to you to decide.
I will divide the compensation into three parts. One part for me as a mother will be the retirement money given to me by Qingshan. One part will be kept for Dabao, and he will use this money to support his education and marriage in the future. The remaining part will be given to you as compensation. After all, you have worked hard even if you have no merit since marrying into this family. With this money, it will not be difficult for you to get married or live on your own in the future."
Yu Meifeng was stunned after hearing Lianyi's distribution. According to her thinking, she was pregnant now, and her mother-in-law would definitely be willing to give her half of the money in order to keep the baby in her belly. She also knew that she couldn't hold all the compensation in her hands, but her mother-in-law's way of dividing it actually skipped the baby in her belly. She was immediately unhappy and frowned and said:
"Mom, I'm pregnant with Brother Qingshan's child."
"Don't worry, there is another way to divide it."
Lian Yi raised her hand to interrupt Yu Meifeng and continued:
"The second distribution method is to divide the compensation money into four parts, one for me, one for Dabao, one for you and one for the baby in your belly. However, the money will not be distributed until the baby is born, and the baby will need to be identified after it is born.
If I can confirm that the baby in your belly is Qingshan's, I will give you money, and you don't have to raise the child, and you can still marry freely. "
"Mom, what do you mean? Whose baby could this be?"
Yu Meifeng suddenly became unwilling and said while gritting her teeth.
"Whose child is the one in your belly? Only you know clearly. If you tell me clearly, Qingshan won't quarrel with you, and you won't go back to your parents' home. I'm not even fifty years old yet. I'm not deaf or blind, and I'm not a fool."
Lian Yi's tone had turned cold at this time. Looking at Yu Meifeng who was gritting her teeth, she continued:
"Yu Meifeng, do you think that since Qingshan is gone, there is no way to prove whether the baby in your belly is his?
Are you a police officer just for free? Because Qingshan died in a car accident, they performed an autopsy and, as I requested, preserved Qingshan's hair.
I have consulted with the police officer handling the case. As long as you give birth to the child, they will be able to identify whether the child is Qingshan's. Although it costs money, I will pay for it.
If the baby in your belly is my son's, I have nothing to say. Just raise it and you don't have to worry about it. Just keep moving forward. I will definitely make sure you have no worries.
But if it is determined that the child is not my son, you should know the consequences. You won't get a penny and I won't hide it for you. After all, you and your child have nothing to do with our Song family."
Lianyi's words frightened Yu Meifeng, and she didn't know how to respond for a moment. After all, there were some things she knew clearly, but she didn't expect that her mother-in-law, who was always easy to talk to, had such a shrewd side.
Lian Yi looked at Yu Meifeng's unpredictable face and continued:
"Don't be too optimistic. You can go and find out for yourself if what I said is true. We in Qingshan Town cannot do an appraisal, but the provincial capital can, but it will cost more money.
Even though Qingshan is gone, I still have two sons. As long as it is confirmed that the children are related to their uncle, I will recognize them as such."
Lianyi blocked all possible escape routes for the other party, and then ordered them to leave:
"Go back and think about it carefully, and give me an answer in three days. If you don't come back in three days, I will assume that you have chosen the second allocation plan, and you can move back home, and I will wait for the baby to be born.
It's only half a year, and you can't get married with a big belly. After all, no man wants to be a sucker, except the father of the child in your belly."
After Lianyi finished speaking, she stopped talking, picked up the handkerchief at hand, and continued embroidering, no longer paying attention to Yu Meifeng.
Yu Meifeng sat for a while, and after digesting her mother-in-law's words, she turned around and left without hesitation.
After the gate was closed, Dabao came out from the inner room. Looking at the closed gate, his eyes were filled with tears. He had heard the conversation between his grandmother and his mother. It turned out that the baby in his mother's belly was not his brother. He was a little confused.
"Dabao, come to grandma."
Lianyi looked at her eldest grandson who looked like an abandoned puppy and said helplessly.
"Milk!"
Dabao turned around and threw himself into Lianyi's arms, then started crying.
Lianyi did not deliberately hide the truth from her eldest grandson, but she also did not want the child to know so early. It was just that Yu Meifeng came at noon, and the eldest grandson was taking a nap in the inner room. It was probably their talking that woke the child up, so the child heard the second half and learned some of the truth.
Lianyi patted Dabao's back and comforted him:
"Don't cry, Dabao. You still have grandma, your second uncle, your third aunt, and your fourth uncle. They will all love you doubly."
"Grandma, mom doesn't want me anymore?"
"It's not that she doesn't want you, she just wants a better life."
