Unexpectedly, just after his mother's seventh day of mourning, when the family still hadn't taken off their mourning clothes, he discovered that his fiancée had become his stepmother...
Old man Lian and his son's fiancée Zhu Xiu were found sleeping together. The screams of the person who discovered the affair could be heard, without exaggeration, throughout half the street.
Needless to say, everyone knows how quickly rumors spread, and they soon spread throughout the county.
Under such circumstances, Lian Rendong's marriage became a joke.
As for the low-key marriage between Old Man Lian and Zhu Xiu, although the Zhu family did not want their in-laws to become their son-in-law, there was nothing they could do about it.
It’s not a question of whether to return the betrothal gift or not. If Zhu Xiu doesn’t marry Old Man Lian, both her sister and niece will have no reputation.
If the family was more extreme, they would have drowned Zhu Xiu in a pond to prevent him from bringing bad influence to the family.
When a person dies, all debts are settled. Generally speaking, as long as one of the protagonists in a romantic scandal dies, no one will hold on to it anymore.
Zhu Xiu's family remained silent for a few days and married Zhu Xiufa off in a low-key manner.
Old man Lian suffered a severe beating from his first wife's family, and happily accepted this beautiful wife who was nearly 30 years younger than him.
Lian Rending couldn't accept this fact at home. He went crazy for a while. Finally, eight months later, when Zhu Xiu found out she was pregnant, he burst into tears and moved out of the house resolutely.
Who in their right mind can accept that the bride becomes a new “mother”?
He could have pretended not to see it, and hypnotized himself that his fiancée was only marrying because of the pressure of the world, and that she still had him in her heart.
Maybe she will remain loyal to him, and this marriage is just to shut up the world.
Now Zhu Xiu is about to give birth to a younger brother for Lian Rendong, how can he still deceive himself?
Seven months later, the baby was born prematurely. It was a girl who looked a lot like the old man Lian. But this was not the point. The point was the reason why Zhu Xiu gave birth prematurely.
She had a quarrel with her nominal eldest daughter-in-law, Zhou Jinxian, Lian Rendong's elder sister-in-law.
The cause of the incident was quite simple. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had a huge age difference, quarreled like fighting cocks over whether an egg should be given to Zhu Xiu to nourish her body or to Zhou Jinxian's son to grow taller.
When Zhou Jinxian got angry, she blurted out: "If it weren't for me back then, do you think you could be my mother-in-law?!"
After she said this, she was still very proud, with her hands on her hips and a beaming look on her face, as if she really thought she had done a great job after changing Zhu Xiu's fate.
Zhu Xiu was furious when she heard this. Her partner changed from a young man in his early 20s to a 50-year-old uncle. How could this be a good thing?
The hand holding her belly trembled slightly, and she couldn't believe her ears.
Seeing that the young mother-in-law had calmed down, Zhou Jinxian smiled smugly, "You slept with your father-in-law without knowing what was going on. That's because I saw you suddenly fainted, so I helped you over!"
Zhu Xiu came back to his senses with tears in his eyes, and he rushed forward to hit Zhou Jinxian.
The so-called eldest daughter-in-law was no pushover either. She fought back very quickly, and the two of them soon got into a fight, completely ignoring the matter of pregnancy.
When the other members of the Lian family found out, they quickly separated the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
It was only then that Zhu Xiu discovered that her amniotic fluid had broken. The Lian family had no time to send her to the hospital, so she could only give birth at home and asked a midwife who lived nearby and was skilled in delivering babies to help.
After about seven or eight hours of struggling, the baby was finally born when the amniotic fluid was almost drained.
After experiencing the pain of childbirth and learning the truth about her marriage, Zhu Xiu was completely unable to face the child. When she woke up, she cried and screamed, trying to throw the child to the ground.
If Zhu Xiu's biological mother had not been by her side to take care of her during the confinement period, the child would have died long ago.
Mother Zhu had no idea what was going on. She held her granddaughter in her arms, her face filled with pity: "Oh my, Xiuxiu, what are you doing? This is your own daughter..."
Zhu Xiu, insane, interrupted her mother: "She is not, she is not my daughter, she is a bastard!"
She completely ignored her weak body from postpartum confinement, and with bloodshot eyes, she struggled to get up from the bed and continued to throw her daughter to the ground.
Zhu Ma didn't understand at all: "Xiu Xiu, stop making a fuss. What's going on? Have you been cheated?"
It was obvious that under their persuasion, Zhu Xiu had gradually accepted the fact that she was marrying Old Man Lian. From being reluctant at the beginning, she had become resigned to her fate and was willing to get pregnant and have a child.
Everything was normal during the pregnancy. Mother Zhu came to see her daughter several times and everything was fine.
How come this child suddenly became a bastard?
After much thought, she realized that her daughter had been deceived, so she wanted to find out the whole story with Zhu Xiu.
When she mentioned being cheated, Zhu Xiu finally understood what had happened to her brain after giving birth. She walked to the door of her eldest daughter-in-law with a pale face.
Today she must have a clear discussion with Zhou Jinxian, otherwise she will not be able to stay in this training family!
