Chapter 30 Chapter 30
030.
"Yes." Gu Tingzhou's tone was calm, but every word was clear. "When Chen Yafang drugged me, something unexpected happened. Yueyue... is Chunman and I's child."
These words were like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing huge waves in the hearts of Gu's father and mother.
Mother Gu's hand trembled, and a few drops of hot water from the enamel cup in her hand splashed onto her sleeve. She was completely unaware, and stared at her son with wide eyes: "W-what? Yueyue is your...child with Chunman?"
Father Gu was slightly calmer than her, but not much better. After a long while, he looked at Gu Tingzhou with a hoarse voice: "Are you saying that Yueyue is now our Gu family's granddaughter?"
Gu Tingzhou had anticipated their shock, so he said nothing more and went into the inner room. A moment later, he emerged with a manila envelope and pulled out a few sheets of paper, handing them over. "I took Chunman and the child for a paternity test. Here's the report, take a look."
Gu's mother took it with trembling hands, the edges of the paper wrinkled from being pinched. Although the contents seemed like hieroglyphics, the diagnostic analysis on the last page showed that her son had an 83% chance of being related to the child.
She stared at the words intently, listening to her son's explanation: "This means Yueyue and I are definitely biological father and daughter."
Father Gu looked up at Song Xiyue. The little girl was playing with a doll in front of the sofa. After staring at her for a long time, he found that the child's eyebrows and the way she pursed her lips were 80% similar to Gu Tingzhou when he was a child.
Mother Gu suddenly covered her mouth and tears welled up without warning. She didn't expect such a strange thing to happen to their Gu family.
The surprise came so suddenly that her heart felt sour and hot. Her body swayed and she almost slipped off the chair.
Gu Tingzhou quickly supported her, and his father also reached out to help her to the bed: "Don't get excited."
He spoke to himself, but his voice was trembling.
Mother Gu clutched the appraisal report, her eyes glued to Song Xiyue, and she unconsciously called out, "My good granddaughter."
Upon hearing this, the little girl turned around and ran over with her short legs, calling out in a baby voice, "Grandma."
The word "Grandma" was like a feather scratching her heart. Mother Gu's eyes immediately turned red and she pulled her into her arms: "Let grandma hug you."
The child had a faint scent of milk, and his soft little hand rested on her wrist. Mother Gu subconsciously raised her hand and touched the child's hair. When her fingertips touched the warm scalp, tears fell again.
"Why is grandma crying?" Song Xiyue raised her face and wiped her tears with her chubby hands. "Mom said that crying doesn't look good."
Mother Gu was amused and laughed out loud, but her tears flowed even more fiercely. She hugged the child tighter: "Grandma is happy. Our Yueyue is so well-behaved and cute, grandma is happy."
She turned to look at Song Chunman who was standing beside her, her eyes as soft as cotton soaked in warm water: "Chunman, you must have suffered a lot in these years taking care of the child."
Song Chunman looked at the grandparents and grandchildren hugging each other, and her nose felt a little sore, but she curved her lips and shook her head: "Auntie, it's all in the past. It's good like this now."
"Still calling me aunt?" Mother Gu gave her a reproachful look and hugged Song Xiyue again. "You and Tingzhou even have a child. It's time to change your tone."
Song Chunman was stunned, and the tips of her ears turned slightly red.
She glanced at Gu Tingzhou beside her. The man was looking at her with a gentle smile in his eyes.
She took a deep breath, looked at Mother Gu, and said clearly: "Mom."
Then he turned to look at Father Gu standing beside him and called out, "Dad."
"Hey!" Mother Gu responded quickly and loudly, and Father Gu nodded happily, with the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes smiling.
Mother Gu held Song Xiyue in her arms and looked at her son and future daughter-in-law standing together, and she suddenly felt relieved.
She used to worry that her son would not get married for a long time and would have no one to take care of him when he was old. However, she did not expect that now they not only have a daughter-in-law, but also such a big granddaughter out of thin air.
This isn't just pie falling from the sky, this is a couple of gold nuggets falling directly from the sky!
Father Gu was more rational than her. He looked at them and said, "Now that everything is clear, we should get the wedding done."
After saying that, he looked at Song Chunman and said, "Can you pick a time? Let's have a meal together, shall we?"
Gu Tingzhou also looked at Song Chunman, "What do you think?"
Song Chunman paused slightly, "Isn't this a bit too fast? I... have only been divorced for more than a month."
"How can it be fast?" Mother Gu knew what she was worried about. "Marriage is free now. Many people get married within a month of dating. To be honest, you have known each other for four years and now have a child. You must get married."
Father Gu also nodded in agreement. "Besides, Yueyue's household registration has to be moved here. We can't always leave it with someone else, right?"
Gu Tingzhou knew what kind of person Song Chunman's ex-husband was. "I'm also afraid that the night will be long and dreams will arise. What if that Sun guy does something bad? Then we will be passive."
In fact, Song Chunman didn't want Gu's father and mother to know about the messy relationships in their Song family, but they were right. The child was still registered with the Sun family, and the Sun family's household registration was a collective household registration of the factory, so she had to go back no matter what.
"Okay." She nodded. "Then I'll call them later and ask when they're free."
The Gu family was in high spirits, but on the other hand, the Song family had a gloomy atmosphere, and the air was filled with restlessness.
The school had already thoroughly investigated Song Yushan's affair with the university student. When the red-stamped notice of expulsion arrived home, Song Yushan cried for three days, hugging her pillow. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts, and she sighed all day, upsetting Song Zhiqiang.
Sun Wenbin's case was even worse. He was investigated for his divorce and having an illegitimate child, and the factory directly fired him. Song Zhiqiang, as the deputy director and his father-in-law, was also criticized by the director.
But it wasn't just these two things that bothered him.
What’s even worse is that the welfare home sent the child back to the door of their staff home.
Now Sun Wenbin has lost his job, and Liu Cuifen has no formal job either. They have a paralyzed old man and a sister-in-law to support at home, and they can't afford to raise another child, so the Sun family doesn't recognize the child. Sun Wenbin actually came to the Song family and wanted them to raise the child first.
How is this possible!
Now the factory has only found out that the child is Sun Wenbin’s illegitimate child, but has not yet traced it back to Song Yushan. If they raise the child, wouldn’t that confirm the rumor in the compound that the child was born to him and Song Yushan?
So he disagreed.
But this was not a solution at all, because there were more and more rumors in the factory, saying that the child was born to Sun Wenbin and Song Yushan. He was criticized by the factory director again, saying that he did not manage his family affairs well.
The factory director will retire in a year. Originally, Song Zhiqiang had few competitors, but now it is really uncertain.
He must have been possessed by an evil spirit recently, otherwise why would he be so unlucky.
When Song Chunman's phone rang, Song Zhiqiang was just sternly rejecting Sun Wenbin's proposal to raise the child in the Song family, and then he answered the phone very rudely.
When he heard Song Chunman's voice, Song Zhiqiang's face darkened even more. "Why did you call me? You've messed up the Song and Sun families. Did you come here to laugh at us?"
Song Chunman held the receiver, listening to Song Zhiqiang's angry voice on the other end, and the corners of her mouth curled up.
It seems that they have been having a hard time recently. When they are not doing well, she is in a good mood. She just smiled and said, "Dad, why are you so angry? I am calling you now to tell you something happy."
"What good news can you have?" Song Zhiqiang's voice was filled with gunpowder, even through the electricity, "Are you looking for another excuse to give out money?"
"Not this time." Song Chunman's voice was as light as dew. "I'm getting married. I'll bring my partner back to the Song family tomorrow at noon so you can meet him."
"What?" There was a clang from the receiver, as if something had been knocked over. "What did you say? You're getting married?"
"That's right." Song Chunman deliberately dragged out her tone, "Remember to cook two more dishes for lunch tomorrow."
"Are you crazy?!" Song Zhiqiang's roar almost broke the receiver. "You've only been divorced for a little over a month! Are you so anxious to get married again? Don't you think you lost enough in your last divorce? I'm telling you, I don't agree!"
The smile on Song Chunman's face faded a little, but her tone became more resolute: "Dad, I'm telling you now to inform you, not to discuss. If you want to see me, you can see me. If you don't want to see me, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I'm going to get married."
"Oh, by the way, Sun Wenbin is at your place, right? Tell him I have something to ask him at the Sun family's tomorrow."
Without waiting for Song Zhiqiang to curse again, she hung up the phone.
On the other end of the receiver, Song Zhiqiang was clutching the hung up phone, his knuckles turning white, and he almost dropped the dial on the ground.
Liu Yongli and Song Yushan on the side had obviously guessed their conversation and looked at Song Zhiqiang with surprise.
"Was that Song Chunman?" Liu Yongli couldn't help but ask, "She's been divorced for just over a month and she's getting married again?"
"Who else could it be if not her!" Song Zhiqiang kicked a chair in anger. "She's been divorced for just over a month and she's already saying she's getting married again. She's even bringing a man back to the Song family tomorrow!"
"So soon?" Liu Yongli's eyes flashed with disdain. "She's just so impatient?"
Song Yushan was already being scolded by Song Zhiqiang, and now Song Chunman was actually taking the initiative to help her share the blame. She couldn't help but add fuel to the fire. "How can she find a good family after getting divorced and having a child? I think it's probably a man without a proper job who wants to marry into our Song family, and she's so happy to bring him home."
"I didn't let her come!" Song Zhiqiang said in a muffled voice, his chest still feeling stuffy.
"Why not let her come?" Liu Yongli frowned. "If she wants to bring him, then she can. I want to see which idiot is trying to get close to our Song family."
Song Zhiqiang was regretting it now. He should have agreed to let Song Chunman bring people with him. But it didn't matter. Song Chunman was going to the Sun family tomorrow anyway.
He looked at Sun Wenbin and said, "She will come to your house tomorrow to talk to you about something."
Sun Wenbin's face turned pale. He knew Song Chunman was a soldier, but he didn't expect their relationship to develop so quickly? They were about to get married?
Could it be that the two of them had been together without telling her, and she insisted on getting a divorce because of that man?
Thinking of this, Sun Wenbin's anger rose rapidly, but he suppressed it. He wanted to see if the man who came to their house tomorrow was the same man as last time.
No matter what they want to do by coming to the Sun family, he can't let that bitch get what she wants.
