Chapter 130 The Song Family's Headache
The bizarre and tortuous process left the group speechless.
There were many things Song Yanshen didn't understand, so he tugged at Zhong Xiaoxiao's sleeve, hoping she could explain them to him.
Zhong Xiaoxiao gave him a helpless look.
She doesn't understand much either!
Zhang Chunxue noticed that the two of them were still there and waved her hand, saying, "Why do you two kids care about this? Go play!"
Zhong Xiaoxiao said "Oh," pouted, and left with Song Yanshen.
She's seventeen already, a grown woman.
After listening, Zhong Aiguo frowned and said, "I think the father of the child in her belly is most likely a married man, which is why she can't make that man take responsibility. She also thinks that Xingzhi is a cadre and rich, so she wants to cling to Xingzhi."
Yang Lifang shared similar thoughts, but she considered things more deeply: "I think this person might not only be married, but their identity must also be quite special..."
She hesitated for a moment before voicing her guess: "Could it be some relative of the Guo family?"
Zhong Aiguo's eyes widened: "This can't be, right? If that's really the case, wouldn't it be chaos..."
He didn't say the last word, but just gently patted his mouth: "It's not that bad, it's not that bad, it shouldn't be that bad."
"Who knows?" Zhang Chunxue shrugged. "Anyway, how this matter is resolved in the end is none of our business. I think the police will investigate it thoroughly."
Zhong Aiguo nodded: "Speaking of which, Xingzhi really suffered an undeserved disaster..."
He couldn't help but curse, "Damn it! Today is the perfect day for Xingzhi to propose to Chunxue, and she's ruined it!"
Zhong Aiguo was filled with anger just thinking about it.
Zhang Chunxue had to comfort him: "It's nothing really, just consider it a case of good things coming to those who wait."
Zhong Aiguo truly admires her mindset; any other woman would be disgusted to death in this situation.
However, it was getting late, and Zhong Aiguo and Yang Lifang had finished lunch and were going to work in the fields.
After they left, Zhang Chunxue moved the somewhat cold dishes to the stove, preparing to reheat them.
Song Xingzhi quickly stopped her: "No need, I'll just eat a couple of bites."
Zhang Chunxue immediately drew out her words: "Oh—whatever?"
Song Xingzhi thought to himself that today was the day he was here to propose marriage, so it was indeed inappropriate to say such a thing. He couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly, "Then I'll help Sister Chunxue."
Zhang Chunxue then nodded.
The two chatted and busied themselves in the kitchen, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
After finishing his meal, Song Xingzhi had to go back to work at the brigade headquarters.
However, once the wedding date was set, he had to inform his family. So, when he returned to the brigade headquarters, he called Zheng Wenbi to tell her about it.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Wenbi immediately gasped: "It's scheduled for five days from now? Why didn't you tell us earlier? It would take us two or three days to get here by car!"
Song Xingzhi touched his nose: "I just finalized things with Brother Aiguo."
Zheng Wenbi's face darkened.
What's there to not understand? Her second son couldn't wait to get married, so he hastily set a date, and it just so happened to be this exact time, giving them just enough time to come over and have a day to get acquainted with the local customs and culture.
"I'm really impressed by you!" Zheng Wenbi rolled her eyes wildly.
Song Xingzhi still smiled and said, "Don't submit to me yet. Let me tell you about something that happened today, and you'll know that there's someone else you should submit to."
He then recounted the events that had just occurred in detail.
When Zheng Wenbi heard that someone had falsely accused Song Xingzhi, her face darkened. However, after hearing the whole story, she was full of surprise.
"Hey, second son, you've struck gold! My second daughter-in-law is truly brave, resourceful, and intelligent!"
"He handled this matter with absolutely brilliant skill!"
She went on and on praising Zhang Chunxue.
But when he spoke of Guo Mingyan, his face immediately darkened: "This woman... she's quite the schemer, pregnant with another man's child and trying to cling to you... What does she take the Song family for?"
Her gaze was icy: "When I get here from Beijing, I'm going to have a proper meeting with this Comrade Guo Mingyan and see who gave her the courage to do such a thing!"
Song Xingzhi chuckled immediately: "Then I'll wait for you, Mom, to make the decision for me."
Zheng Wenbi immediately rolled her eyes: "Come on! Your wife has already taken care of everything perfectly for you, hasn't she?"
She gave a soft snort: "You're really lucky, kid!"
Song Xingzhi's tone was somewhat smug: "Mom, I've told you before, my judgment is top-notch."
Zheng Wenbi scoffed and rolled her eyes.
The two chatted for a few more minutes about the wedding before hanging up.
Zheng Wenbi, however, got busy again.
The wedding is in five days, so they have to leave no later than the day after tomorrow. Therefore, everyone who needs to take leave today has to do so and buy the tickets.
If I can buy everything I need tomorrow, then I can set off tomorrow.
Thinking of this, Zheng Wenbi couldn't help but curse, "That brat, he's waited for over ten years, can't he even wait a few days? He's so impatient!"
When the family returned in the evening, Zheng Wenbi immediately told them about it.
The family: "???"
Song Xingzhi's father, Song Yanshan, was so angry he laughed: "Is there something wrong with this kid? What's he doing in such a hurry? Does he think it's easy for me to get leave in the army?"
Zheng Wenbi immediately glanced at him sideways: "If you can't get leave, then just don't go, right?"
Song Yanshan choked on his words: "What kind of talk is that? My son is getting married, how could I not go?"
Zheng Wenbi rolled her eyes: "That's settled then, stop talking so much!"
Song Yanshan's lips twitched, and he fell silent.
The eldest son, Song Xingyun, originally wanted to complain a bit, but seeing that his father had been punished, he wisely shut his mouth.
His mother is the head of the household, so it's best not to upset her. So what if you get scolded by your boss when you ask for leave? Let her scold you, it won't hurt you.
Song Xingzhi's sister-in-law, Qian Xiaowan, had only met Song Xingzhi a few times, since she hadn't married into the family yet when Song Xingzhi went to the countryside!
But she also had great respect for this devoted younger brother-in-law: "I'll go tomorrow. I'll ask the radio station for leave; I shouldn't have any problems..."
"And since it's summer vacation now, Xiaoze doesn't have any classes, so it's more convenient for him to go out."
