Chapter 121 Song Xingzhi is having a baby?
Meanwhile, Zhang Chunxue was busy in the kitchen around noon, waiting for Zhong Aiguo and Yang Lifang to arrive.
Zhong Xiaoxiao and Song Yanshen were helping out the whole time.
Although Song Yanshen had grown up on his own, he was still a bit clumsy when it came to kitchen matters and didn't know what to do.
Zhong Xiaoxiao patiently taught him: "Xiao Shen, you have to learn this well, otherwise you might not be able to find a wife in the future!"
Song Yanshen could only point to his mouth and then shake his head.
Zhong Xiaoxiao immediately understood: "You mean you can't speak, so you can't get a wife?"
Song Yanshen nodded.
Zhong Xiaoxiao, however, looked completely disapproving: "Who said you can't get a wife if you can't speak?"
"If you work hard, you'll definitely be able to get a wife!"
She said in a serious tone, "You see, it's precisely because you can't speak that you have to improve your competitiveness in other areas."
"Other men stay home all day doing nothing, but you can cook, do housework, and help your wife, so you're sure to get a wife..."
"So what if you can't speak? It's not a big deal!"
Zhang Chunxue nodded in agreement: "Xiao Shen, your second sister is right. If we can't compare to others in this aspect, then we can surpass them in another aspect, right?"
Her voice was gentle: "Don't worry, no matter what, Mom will find you a wife."
In his previous life, Song Yanshen never married or had children.
He had always been insecure, and because he was grateful to Zhang Chunxue for taking him in, he sent most of the money he earned from working to Zhang Chunxue. He didn't save much for himself and therefore couldn't afford to get married.
Zhang Chunxue must choose a good wife for him in this lifetime.
Song Yanshen felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this.
Every day feels like a dream.
Last night he slept in his own room, on a soft bed, covered with a light blanket, and he felt that his dreams were sweet.
In the middle of the night, he vaguely noticed someone entering his room, covering him with a blanket, and patting his head.
Although Song Yanshen didn't open his eyes, he knew that it was his mother.
He felt truly happy.
Around noon, Zhang Chunxue cooked a pot of braised chicken pieces, stir-fried twice-cooked pork, stir-fried pork with green peppers, stir-fried eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried cabbage, shredded potatoes, and cucumber salad—a table full of dishes.
When Zhong Aiguo and the others arrived, Zhang Chunxue immediately welcomed them to the table, waiting for Song Xingzhi to arrive.
But no matter how long they waited, Song Xingzhi never came.
Zhong Aiguo was getting restless: "What is Xingzhi doing? Why isn't he back yet?"
Zhang Chunxue was also a little puzzled, but she felt that Song Xingzhi must be held up by something, so she smiled and said, "Brother Aiguo and Sister-in-law Lifang, you can eat first. I'll serve some to Xingzhi and reheat it for him when he comes back."
Everyone had things to do in the afternoon, so they didn't wait and started eating.
Unexpectedly, just as the group was halfway through their meal, while Zhong Aiguo and the others were discussing the wedding banquet with Zhang Chunxue, Zeng from the brigade headquarters rode his beloved bicycle and sped into Zhang Chunxue's yard.
Before he could even get out of the car, he shouted at Zhang Chunxue, "Sister-in-law Chunxue, something's happened! Something's happened! A family just came from the brigade headquarters and said that Director Song got their daughter pregnant!"
These words were like a bolt from the blue; Zhong Xiaoxiao's chopsticks fell to the table with a clatter.
Zhong Aiguo's eyes widened in disbelief: "What? What did you say? How could Xingzhi do such a thing?"
Zeng was almost incoherent: "They came running over and said...they were pointing at Director Song..."
Zhang Chunxue remained calm: "Xiao Zeng, don't rush, speak slowly."
She asked Zhong Xiaoxiao to quickly bring Zeng a glass of cool boiled water.
After taking a big gulp, Xiao Zeng wiped his mouth and began to explain what had happened.
Around noon, a family suddenly appeared at the brigade headquarters. The leader was a strong man in his forties, who brought his brothers, the women in his family, and his twenty-year-old daughter.
As soon as they came in, they started making a ruckus, saying that his daughter had been bullied and was now pregnant.
Upon hearing this, Song Xingzhi realized it was a criminal case!
He immediately suggested they report it to the police.
Who knew that if the family reported it to the police, their daughter would lose her reputation.
They just want the father of the child in his daughter's belly to take responsibility.
Song Xingzhi was somewhat speechless.
They've made a scene at the brigade headquarters; what kind of reputation can they possibly have? Besides, he doesn't understand why these people choose to swallow their anger for the sake of their so-called reputation.
After all, what if the person who bullied their daughter wasn't a good person? And to make him responsible for their daughter would ruin her life?
He immediately advised them that it would be better to report it to the police.
Unexpectedly, the burly man stared intently at him and said, "Director Song, are you sure you want me to call the police? Aren't you afraid that if the police arrest you, your life will be ruined?"
Song Xingzhi was completely dumbfounded: "What does this have to do with me?"
However, the burly man gave him an answer the next second: "After all, my daughter is carrying your child!"
His words shocked the entire brigade headquarters.
Everyone looked at the burly man's daughter's belly, then at Song Xingzhi, unable to believe their eyes or ears.
Song Xingzhi's face immediately turned ashen: "Comrade, you have to take responsibility for your words. Do you know what you're saying?"
His face remained calm: "I didn't know your daughter before, how could I possibly be the father of the child in her belly?"
The burly Guo Fugui snorted coldly: "Director Song really has a bad memory! Just over two months ago, didn't you come to our village to resolve the matter between me and Guo Erxiong because we both claimed that we had hunted the game on the mountain?"
Song Xingzhi immediately realized: "You're Guo Fugui?"
Guo Fugui then raised his chin: "That's right, I am Guo Fugui."
He gritted his teeth: "I didn't know about you and my daughter at first, but when you went to propose to someone else today, my daughter was threatening to kill herself at home... I only found out after asking her that she's pregnant with your child..."
"It's been almost two months!" He slammed his hand on the brigade headquarters desk, speaking sharply, "I used to think you were a good person, but I never imagined you were such a beast who played with women and then abandoned them!"
