What happened in Old Lady Wang's family spread to several nearby compounds in an instant. Even when she went to work, her colleagues came to comfort her and told her to relax.
But it is not the time for Old Lady Wang to be at ease. After she had such a fuss a few days ago, she still couldn't calm down after being persuaded by Zhang Xingwang for several days. Before she could accept it, Wang Dahai started a hunger strike.
Her honest son went on a hunger strike. He hadn't eaten a single bite for three or four days and even stopped going to work.
The leader of his unit would come to his house every day after get off work, with the only purpose of persuading her to be more open-minded, otherwise her son would really die.
Today, as soon as she got off work and walked out of the factory, she saw Mu Chudan not far away, probably waiting for her.
But Old Lady Wang didn't want to see her. When she saw her, she thought of the dying Wang Dahai, and she couldn't hold back her anger.
Mu Chudan came here specifically to wait for her, and when she saw that she was avoiding him, she had to quickly catch up with her.
She ran, she chased, but Old Lady Wang couldn't escape even if she had wings.
In the end, Old Lady Wang was stuck in the alley where Wang Dahai had been stuck before.
"Aunt, I have something to say."
Old Lady Wang immediately tried to avoid her, "I don't want to listen."
Mu Chudan stopped her, "Do you want to watch Dahai starve to death?"
Old Lady Wang: "Don't worry about it."
Mu Chudan was furious. How could this old woman let a living person die for a useless surname? "Auntie, what do you want me to do? Can you just tell me directly?"
Old Lady Wang: "I want you to marry me."
Mu Chudan: "Impossible, I am the only daughter in my family, just like your father. My father's plan is to find a son-in-law."
Mrs. Wang: "Then we have nothing to discuss. I just hope my son can have a normal marriage. He has parents and brothers. There's no need for him to come to your house."
Mu Chudan: "But he likes me, and I like him too."
Old Lady Wang: "Aren't you ashamed? A little girl keeps saying she likes you."
Mu Chudan: "Why should I be ashamed? I'm better than you. You're so vicious. You're forcing your own son to die for your own selfish desires."
Old Lady Wang was furious again. "If it weren't for you, why would I force him? You were the one who taught him to go on a hunger strike, weren't you?"
Mu Chudan cried out in injustice, "How could I let him do such a thing?"
Old Lady Wang: "Don't think I don't know. I introduced so many girls to him before, but you were the one behind all that. You dragged him into this state. As a mother, how could I not know this? He is an honest man. He knows that I don't agree with him being like his father, so he will never consider you unless you do something!"
Mu Chudan: ...This damn old lady, how come she knows all this stuff? In just a few days, all her secrets have been exposed.
"So what? Whether you are a man or a woman, you can pursue the happiness you want."
Mrs. Wang: "Shut up, I know what kind of happiness my son needs."
She bent down and slipped under the girl's open arms. It looked vulgar but effective. After the other party was stunned, she ran away.
Mu Chudan chased after him again, "I've discussed it with my dad. From now on, the second child will have Wang Dahai's surname. He won't be considered a live-in son-in-law, so it's just an equal marriage. I want two children, is that okay?"
Old Lady Wang stopped, turned around and walked up to her. "What did you say?"
Mu Chudan: "Your family's incense will never be cut off, okay? One child will have your surname, and I will give birth to two!"
Old Lady Wang sneered, but her resistance was lessened. "Write it down and sign your name!"
She also felt sorry for her son's hunger strike, and she was about to give in today, but this girl brought her an extra surprise.
Old Mrs. Wang took the letter of guarantee and happily returned home. On the way, she also stopped at a state-owned restaurant and bought a roast chicken. Today was really a good day.
Wang Dahai was almost fainting from hunger. When he thought he could never be with Mu Chudan in this life, when he thought he was about to go see his grandmother, his mother came in with a hot chicken leg dripping with oil.
"Want to eat?"
Wang Dahai was very stubborn and said, "I won't eat it!"
Old Lady Wang immediately stuffed the chicken leg into her mouth and said as she ate, "Okay."
Zhang Xingwang shouted from outside the room, "Your mother has agreed and has set a date for you to come back. If you really starve to death, are you really going to marry a dead person?"
Wang Dahai couldn't believe it: "Really? Why?"
Old Lady Wang: "What do you care? Come out and have dinner. You look uglier than a ghost."
Old Mrs. Yin was the second person to know the news besides their family. After hearing it, she immediately went to find Old Mrs. Xia and shared it with her.
Coincidentally, Old Lady Wang also came over at this time, and the three of them got together again.
Old Lady Wang proudly shared what Mu Chudan had said to her earlier, "Look, originally I had a daughter-in-law and a grandson, and now, I'm even being given a grandson. I should be grateful."
Old Lady Xia couldn't hide her disgusted expression. When questioned by Old Lady Wang, she started talking like pouring beans, "If you ask me, you are the stupidest one. Why do you have to fight for this surname?"
Old Lady Wang: "This is the bloodline of my Wang family."
Old Lady Xia: "When the child is born, what you as a grandmother should give is different from what you as a grandmother should give."
Old Lady Wang: "I'd love to."
Old Lady Xia: "That child was raised by his parents, and your son lives in the Mu family. No matter what his name or surname is, he's definitely closer to them. It would be fine if they treated the two children with different surnames equally, but what if they treat the child with the surname Mu better? Wouldn't that make the other one feel wronged?"
"If someone gets malicious and says that you, as the grandmother, insisted that he take your last name, wouldn't he resent you? Even if none of the above happens, and they have a quarrel, they'll just kick your Dahai out, and kick out the child with your last name as well. It won't hurt the adults, but the child will be so hurt. Will he feel like he's not part of their family?"
Old Mrs. Wang: ...suddenly felt that she had done something wrong.
Old Lady Yin also said, "Didn't you tell me before that Sister Yue'e was stupid for sending her eldest grandson away? At that time, I felt it wouldn't be nice to say anything behind your back, so I didn't explain it to you clearly. If I were to say it, the most important thing is whether the child is filial or not. Sister Yue'e has said this before, but you just didn't listen."
"If a child is filial, no matter what his surname is, he is filial and he is our child. If he is not filial, even if he has your surname, he will still make you angry to death. Why bother?"
"Besides, if you want to leave a legacy for your father, don't you still have Dahe? Why are you so anxious? If Dahai wants to be a live-in son-in-law, just let him go. You can just rely on Dahe in the future."
Old Lady Wang clutched her chest and asked, "What if Dahe wants to be a live-in son-in-law?"
At this time, Chen Xiangbei popped his head out from somewhere and said, "Aunt Wang, Dahe won't do that. He already has a girlfriend. I've seen it!"
The three of them looked at Chen Xiangbei.
