She was just bored and came to watch the fun, was it really necessary to make her uncomfortable?
That's what she was thinking, but Zhu Guihua had no intention of leaving. She just stood there casually outside the main room, listening intently to the conversation inside.
"Third son, this is your biological mother, back then..."
Grandma Song stood up just as Song Sanhe was about to reach her. She held Song Sanhe's hand, looked at Old Mrs. Chen who had stood up at about the same time, and started talking about her past.
When the others in the main room saw Grandma Song and Old Mrs. Chen stand up, they naturally followed suit and all turned their gazes to Song Sanhe.
Song Sanhe listened calmly to the story told by Grandma Song.
When Zhu Guihua heard that Song Sanhe was not Grandma Song's biological son, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide. But when she saw Grandpa Chen and Grandma Chen, she couldn't help but feel jealous. She thought that her nemesis Li Jumei had gotten lucky and would soon become a resident of Beijing.
Most importantly, Zhu Guihua deduced from the clothing of Mr. and Mrs. Chen and the stories Grandma Song told Song Sanhe that Mr. and Mrs. Chen's identities were definitely not simple.
Now that Song Sanhe is about to reunite with his biological parents, Li Jumei's status will also rise accordingly.
Wouldn't the other party become even more arrogant in front of her from now on?
Thinking of this, Zhu Guihua involuntarily pressed her chest. She felt like she was about to suffocate. To avoid fainting from the suffocation if she continued to listen, she quickly turned around, walked out of Uncle Song's courtyard, and hurried towards her own home.
Several women who had gathered outside Uncle Song's courtyard to watch the commotion had hoped to get some information from Zhu Guihua to satisfy their curiosity, but Zhu Guihua completely ignored them. The women were secretly annoyed and rolled their eyes at Zhu Guihua's retreating figure.
Zhu Guihua was well aware of their schemes, but she had no intention of helping her nemesis publicize his impending move to become a resident of Beijing!
"...That's pretty much how it is. It's a blessing that your parents and brothers came to our village today..."
After recounting the past, Grandma Song went on to explain why Old Mrs. Chen and her group had come to Shisong Village. When she finished speaking, seeing that Song Sanhe was not responding, she couldn't help but pat Song Sanhe on the arm and said, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and call your parents and your two brothers."
Seeing that Song Sanhe still didn't react, Grandma Song thought that Song Sanhe didn't believe what she said, and couldn't help but sigh: "Third son, your mother didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, take out the jade pendant that you've worn around your neck since you were a child. This is a keepsake left to you by your own mother, so that you and your mother can recognize each other in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Song Sanhe finally reacted, saying, "Mother, I don't disbelieve you, I'm just a little surprised and haven't come to my senses for a moment."
Hearing his explanation, Grandma Song's furrowed brows slowly relaxed, but she pretended to be angry and glared at him, asking, "Then what should you do now?"
Song Sanhe was somewhat helpless. He knew that Grandma Song was urging him to acknowledge his relatives, but was it really necessary to push so hard?
That's what he thought, but Song Sanhe still composed himself, addressed Old Mrs. Chen and Old Mr. Chen as "Mom, Dad," and then shifted his gaze to Chen Changzheng and Chen Changqing. Before he could speak, he heard one of them say:
"Second brother, I am your eldest brother, named Chen Changzheng. The man standing next to me is my third brother, named Chen Changqing."
Seeing that his eldest uncle hadn't introduced himself, Chen Dongxu gave him a resentful look and took the initiative to introduce himself to his second uncle, Song Sanhe: "Second Uncle, my name is Chen Dongxu. I am your nephew and the second son of your third brother."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "My eldest brother's name is Chen Dongsheng. He is a soldier, but he was on a mission, so he didn't come with my uncle and my father."
"Second Brother."
Chen Changqing called out to Song Sanhe.
With a faint smile on his face, Song Sanhe addressed the other man in the same way, "Third Brother." Then, he turned his gaze back to Chen Changzheng, "Eldest Brother."
Old Mrs. Chen's eyes welled up with tears. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say to Song Sanhe.
After a long pause, she finally uttered, "Chang'an..."
Upon hearing Old Mrs. Chen's voice, Song Sanhe immediately turned his gaze over. Seeing the confusion in his eyes, Old Mr. Chen explained, "Your mother is calling you. Chang'an is the name your mother gave you."
Upon hearing this, Song Sanhe nodded to indicate that he understood. Then, he said to Old Mrs. Chen, "Mom, I'll just stand here. Don't get agitated."
Grandma Chen grasped his hand, her voice choked with emotion: "Mom will listen to you, don't get excited, Mom won't get excited."
Song Sanhe helped the other woman sit back in her chair, and then prepared to help Grandma Song sit down as well. Unexpectedly, Grandma Song waved her hand at him and sat down in the chair by herself in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, the others in the main room also took their seats again.
As time went by, Song Sanhe chatted a lot with the newlyweds' families. During this time, he made sure to strike up a conversation with Grandma Song from time to time so that she wouldn't feel neglected and overthink things.
In short, the family reunion trip went very smoothly for Mrs. Chen and her group.
When Chen Changzheng and Chen Changqing learned that their grandfather and grandmother did not plan to return to Beijing for the time being and would instead stay in Shisong Village, the two brothers were not surprised at all.
He simply instructed Chen Dongxu and the old man's attendant to take good care of the two elders, and exchanged a few more words with Song Sanhe. Around one o'clock in the afternoon, the two brothers bid farewell to the Song family and the old man and woman of the Chen family, and took a car back to Beijing.
Needless to say, everyone had lunch at Uncle Song's house.
Before getting on the bus, Chen Changzheng and Chen Changqing gave Song Sanhe a lot of money without giving him a chance to refuse.
Why are you making such a face out of nowhere?
There was still some time before he had to go to work in the afternoon. When Song Tiezhu returned home after work at noon, he found that his wife looked unhappy, ignored him and their sons, and was making a lot of noise while cooking on the stove. He was puzzled, but dared not provoke his wife, lest he be angered himself.
Even after lunch, and now that it was almost time for him to go to work, his wife still looked unhappy. It was obvious that she was keeping something to herself that he didn't know, and she was afraid that her husband might do something bad. After hesitating for a long time, Song Tiezhu finally couldn't help but ask her.
"Mind your own business!"
Zhu Guihua, yes, Song Tiezhu was indeed Zhu Guihua's man. Hearing her husband's question, Zhu Guihua involuntarily recalled Song Sanhe's changed identity. The next moment, she couldn't hold back any longer and vented her anger on Song Tiezhu, saying:
"I've been married to you for so many years, and not a single day has passed without me feeling resentful. Look at you, you're just like Accountant Song, with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. Why can't you be like her and have some ambition?"
Before Song Tiezhu could speak, Zhu Guihua continued, "Compared to Da Meizi next door, I'm no worse than her, especially when it comes to having sons. I gave birth to five in one go, while Da Meizi only had three boys."
In this respect alone, she, Da Meizi, lost to me, but what about you? Compared to Accountant Song, you're inferior to her in every way..."
