Chapter 149 Two Sons as a Bonus for the Wedding
Sun Ling resigned herself to her fate.
She knew that if she didn't agree today, it would be almost impossible for her to marry into this family in the future.
In order to see Bai Fan every day, and for the sake of her and Bai Fan's child, Sun Ling gritted her teeth and accepted the marriage.
Under the influence (threat) of various factors, Zhu Ziqiang and Sun Ling obtained their marriage certificate very quickly.
Perhaps fearing being reported, the two got their marriage certificate that afternoon, and Sun Ling moved into the tenement that evening.
The speed of the action shocked Aunt Cao, a seasoned gossip enthusiast, who exclaimed in amazement, saying that even after decades of being a gossipmonger, she had never seen anything so fast.
Blind dates, marriage, and sleeping together—all done in one day.
Even Qi Baifan didn't have a chance to remind Sun Ling of something.
Moreover, Bai Xiaohui was watching him closely from the side, which made him dare not make any sudden moves.
Ultimately, Zou Qingshu's words had left a mark on Bai Xiaohui's heart.
Bai Xiaohui still harbored suspicions about Qi Baifan's unusual excitement that time, and kept a close eye on him. Every time he was about to go out, Bai Xiaohui insisted on going with him, which meant that he had no time to explain the Zhu family's situation to Sun Ling.
Qi Baifan was so anxious that he could only watch helplessly as Sun Ling and Zhu Ziqiang got their marriage certificate.
Qi Baifan's vision went completely black.
Oh no, oh no, Zhu Ziqiang, Zhu Ziqiang, he's had his vasectomy!
How did Sun Ling's unborn child end up being pinned on him?!
Qi Baifan was so anxious he wanted to jump up and down.
But since things had come to this point, there was no use in being anxious. He could only pass on a message to Sun Ling later, asking her to think of a way to get Zhu Ziqiang to acknowledge the child.
...
Although he has been married three times, it has not dampened Zhu Ziqiang's enthusiasm for marriage.
Although it was the third time, Zhu Ziqiang was still beaming with joy. When he went to get his marriage certificate, he also stopped by the supply and marketing cooperative and skillfully bought a big bag of candy.
Upon returning, he and Sun Ling began joyfully distributing the gifts from house to house in the courtyard, just like newlywed young men.
The newlyweds had a completely different expression on the woman's face, while the man, Zhu Ziqiang, seemed quite happy, his mouth never closing, which drew teasing from the onlookers.
Aunt Hao and Zou Qingshu from the front yard, and Cheng Jiajia from the second yard, who were in the know, were happy with the result and naturally offered their congratulations with smiles on their faces.
"Congratulations, it's all fate that brought you together!" But don't go and cause trouble for others!
Others who were unaware of the details also followed suit and sent their blessings, all while maintaining a cheerful facade.
Only I know what I'm really thinking.
Let alone giving Sun Ling a heads-up, first of all, no one really knows her. Just look at what happened this afternoon—she slept with someone on the first day of their blind date. In everyone's eyes, this girl is so eager to marry Zhu Ziqiang that she must be head over heels in love with him, and they must know a little about him.
If that's the case, why should they bother acting like petty people?
Who knows, maybe the woman is willing?
Some of the more sarcastic ones, however, made a sarcastic remark right in front of Sun Ling, "Oh, Zhu Ziqiang, you're a groom again?"
Zhu Ziqiang's smiling face vanished in an instant.
That damn thing, he's always sabotaging him!
Sun Ling: "!!!"
Sun Ling: "???"
What does that mean?!
Explain yourself clearly, how did it become 'again'?!
Her hair was practically standing on end.
Zhu Ziqiang glanced quickly at Sun Ling before cursing, "It's my big day today, what are you saying!"
The man pursed his lips but didn't say anything in the end.
He cursed inwardly, thinking, "God is truly blind! Zhu Ziqiang is such a spineless man—yes, after the news of his vasectomy spread, he became known as a spineless man in the eyes of most of the men in the compound! A spineless, androgynous bastard like Zhu Ziqiang can get married three times, while he, such an outstanding young man, can't even find a girl. This is unfair, absolutely unfair!"
Zhu Ziqiang forced a smile and explained to Sun Ling, "This kid is just jealous that I found a beautiful wife while he's still single, and he's just spouting nonsense!"
Sun Ling nodded, her expression softening slightly.
The man snorted, gave Zhu Ziqiang a half-smile, and then remained silent. He found it amusing, however. Judging from Zhu Ziqiang's attempts to conceal it, did his third wife not know he had been married before and had a child?
Oh my, this is going to be interesting!
No wonder people say that the residents of Compound No. 35 are all monsters and demons; they're all people who love to watch the drama unfold.
When it came time to hand out wedding candy to the Bai family at the Third Hospital, Bai Xiaohui came out to greet them, and Qi Baifan was completely hidden behind her, with only his head showing.
Whenever Qi Baifan tried to say something, Bai Xiaohui would glare at him with a sharp look.
Qi Baifan had no choice but to shut up.
Bai Xiaohui snatched the candy from Sun Ling's hand and said with a forced smile, "Congratulations! May you have a long and happy marriage and have a baby soon!"
Sun Ling froze.
Before, she didn't think much of it because she couldn't see it, but now that she's watching her beloved man become a family with another woman, Sun Ling feels incredibly bitter.
I don't know if it was right for me to follow Bai Fan's arrangements and get married to this point.
And for some reason, seeing Bai Fan's hesitant expression, Sun Ling always felt uneasy.
Soon, it was proven that her hunch was correct.
After they had finished distributing the gifts to the households in the backyard, they returned to the front yard.
Along the way, Zhu Ziqiang introduced Sun Ling to the situation of each family so that she could integrate into the neighborhood more quickly.
Sun Ling felt a warmth in her heart. Fortunately, this person was quite considerate, so she hadn't really lost out.
However, Sun Ling soon found herself in a very embarrassing situation.
When the two returned, they ran into Hu Mei, who had gone back to her parents' home that day. She was unaware of Zhu Ziqiang and Sun Ling's affair. Upon seeing a young woman beside Zhu Ziqiang, and noticing their intimate behavior, she raised an eyebrow. "Oh my, is this Zhu Ziqiang your girlfriend? Not bad, it hasn't been long and you're already..." She was interrupted by Zhu Ziqiang's cough.
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
"Ahem... Sister-in-law Hu, where have you been today? This is my girlfriend, Sun Ling." Zhu Ziqiang changed the subject, giving Hu Mei a wink. He didn't want Sun Ling to know about his third marriage and two children, so he had to wait a few more days.
Fortunately, his mother had already sent the child to a distant relative's house to be looked after for a few days.
"Oh, I went back to my parents' home."
Hu Mei's eyes darted around, scanning the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the two people opposite her, as if trying to get her to shut up.
Hmph, she won't!
Hu Mei's eyes darted around, glancing at the gate before her gaze fell on Sun Ling. She teased with a grin, "Oh, Zhu Ziqiang, is this your boyfriend? Girl, your son's back!"
Sun Ling's heart skipped a beat, thinking that her pregnancy had been exposed. She retorted, her tone fierce but her voice weak.
"Son? What son?! I just got married, where would I get a son? Don't talk nonsense and slander my reputation!"
Hu Mei gave her a strange look.
Sun Ling's eyelids twitched; she had a strange, ominous premonition.
She pointed towards the gate and said, "Look, aren't those your two sons?"
Sun Ling looked in the direction she pointed and saw two little black boys, about seven or eight years old, walking hand in hand toward her. Their eyes were fixed on Zhu Ziqiang beside them.
The two little black boys' eyes lit up, and they ran over excitedly, shouting, "Dad! Dad! We're back!"
Rumble!!!
Sun Ling seemed to have been struck by lightning.
Hu Mei, however, seemed to think things were getting out of hand, and called out to the little black eggs, "Big Egg, Second Egg, come here, this is your new stepmother. Your dad has found you another stepmother."
The two little black eggs immediately pouted and started wailing, "Waaaaah...! We don't want a stepmother! Waaaaah... Didn't our stepmother leave? How come another one has come? Waaaaah, we don't want a stepmother!"
Sun Ling's mind went blank.
dad? !
A new stepmother?!
That means this bastard had a stepmother before, making this his third marriage!
Damn it, she just got married and already has two grown sons as a bonus?!
a bolt from the blue!
The sky is falling and the earth is cracking!
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Sun Ling felt her blood rush to her head, let out a scream, rolled her eyes, and fell straight to the ground.
"Oh my god!"
Hu Mei was startled and cried out, rushing forward to support the person.
Grandma Zhu and Zhu Ziqiang were both busy coaxing their two tantrum-throwing little black boys and had no time to care about Sun Ling.
Only Hu Mei persevered, patting her chest in lingering fear.
Oh dear, thank goodness it was just a false alarm.
She rarely does good deeds; I hope it doesn't lead to someone's death.
Sun Ling wanted to faint, but she remembered that she was pregnant. Yes, the child. It was exposed as soon as she entered the hospital.
I mustn't faint! I mustn't faint!
Sun Ling gritted her teeth and forced herself to stand up again, even forcefully shaking off Hu Mei's hand.
"Get out of my way, damn it! There's no good person in this yard!"
Sun Ling didn't even glance at Zhu Ziqiang, who was trying to soothe the two crying little black boys. She glared fiercely at Hu Mei, the instigator, and cursed, "Pah! You're no better! You deliberately stirred things up to see me make a fool of myself, didn't you? Let me tell you, no way!"
Hu Mei: "..."
No, heaven knows, she really meant well. She was afraid that the young girl would be deceived by Zhu Ziqiang, so she deliberately exposed the fact that he had been married three times and had two children, also hoping that the girl would run away as soon as possible.
Why is this person so ungrateful?
Hu Mei was also unhappy. Her face fell, and she slammed the door shut as soon as she got home, regardless of the commotion outside.
What's it to her!
Cheng Jiajia, who had been following the newlyweds to watch the spectacle, witnessed the whole scene and almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Hu Mei meant well, but who knew that Sun Ling had already registered her marriage with Zhu Ziqiang and couldn't escape?
This person doesn't seem to be very clear-headed; they might even be resentful that she revealed the truth.
Cheng Jiajia was right; Sun Ling was cursing inwardly.
She had clearly realized that she had been deceived by Zhu Ziqiang!
That bastard! Not a single word he says is true! He deserved to have his wife die!
None of the people in this courtyard are any good. So many people, and they just stood by and watched me get scammed without a single one warning me! No wonder this courtyard has such a terrible reputation, and all the single men here can't find wives!
What's most despicable is that woman from just now, she actually laughed at me in public, that bitch! A complete and utter bitch!
Bai Fan, don't you know about Zhu Ziqiang's situation? Why didn't you remind him?
Sun Ling cursed everyone she encountered before she felt a little better.
Now that things have come to this, can she really get a divorce? If she does, who can she marry while carrying a child in her belly?
She had no choice but to accept her fate.
Sun Ling wiped away her tears and comforted herself, thinking that with her beauty and skills, she would eventually win Zhu Ziqiang's heart!
What are those two children? As long as my own child is born, I can make him the Zhu family's precious darling. Those two are just stepping stones for my child.
Sun Ling touched her lower abdomen and gritted her teeth inwardly.
I'm sure I can live a happy life with Bai Fan and his family of three!
...
Sun Ling's unintentional gesture of touching her lower abdomen was noticed by Cheng Jiajia, who was watching the scene unfold.
Cheng Jiajia was dumbfounded.
Most people might not think much of it, but Cheng Jiajia is different. She knows that Sun Ling wanted to marry into their compound with ulterior motives and definitely didn't have good intentions, so it's easy for her to misunderstand.
It wasn't until this moment that she suddenly realized what was going on.
I see!
No wonder, no wonder that guy surnamed Qi insisted on bringing his old lover to their compound.
So that's what they were planning.
However, since the original sucker Zou Qingshu has been replaced by Zhu Ziqiang, will their plan still work?
After all, it's common knowledge that Zhu Ziqiang is a man who has undergone vasectomy.
A mysterious smile appeared on Cheng Jiajia's lips.
...
When Cheng Jiajia got home, she told Yu Junsheng about her new discovery.
Yu Junsheng looked very unhappy. Zou Qingshu was his good brother, and he was angry on Zou Qingshu's behalf for being schemed against like this.
Cheng Jiajia patted his shoulder reassuringly, "Hey, don't be angry, the Zhu family will definitely have a good show to watch in a while!"
Everyone knows Zhu Ziqiang's situation. If Sun Ling dares to say she's pregnant, the Zhu family's world will collapse.
They don't even need to lift a finger; Qing can just wait and watch the show.
Yu Junsheng pulled his wife's small hand back and stroked it, then suddenly looked up and asked, "Do you think Bai Xiaohui knows she's about to become a stepmother?"
The two exchanged a glance and instantly understood each other's wicked intentions.
Bai Xiaohui must be very unwilling to be this stepmother.
So, in the following days, Qi Baifan found that Bai Xiaohui not only kept a closer eye on him, but her eyes were like searchlights, scanning him from time to time. She also insisted on going in and out with him, even when going to and from get off work.
This made Qi Baifan afraid to make any unnecessary movements.
It's been a month, a whole month, and he hasn't dared to find a chance to say a few words to Sun Ling.
He could only place his hopes on Sun Ling. Everyone in the hospital knew about Zhu Ziqiang's tubal ligation; a little inquiry would reveal the truth. He hoped Sun Ling wouldn't be so foolish as to announce her pregnancy at this time.
Little did he know that because Hu Mei exposed Zhu Ziqiang's third marriage and two children, Sun Ling had come to hate everyone in the neighborhood and hadn't given her neighbors a kind look in recent days.
She's not that cheap, why should I go up to her and say this?
So even though she's been married into the family for a month, she still doesn't know about this.
Sun Ling is indeed quite shrewd; she's much smarter than Fu Jiaojiao before her and knows how to win over men.
Judging from the current situation, Sun Ling is indeed very much in Zhu Ziqiang's heart.
During this time, whenever Old Lady Zhu wanted to punish her and deliberately made her do chores, she would look at Zhu Ziqiang with a delicate and pitiful expression, making Zhu Ziqiang unable to bear it and take the initiative to help.
This really angered Grandma Zhu.
I thought she was docile and easy to manipulate, but I never expected her to be such a scheming little vixen, even more difficult to deal with than the previous one!
Grandma Zhu deeply regretted forcing Fu Jiaojiao away. This thing, she was not even as good as Fu Jiaojiao!
The newly formed mother-in-law and daughter-in-law battled each other for a month before finally getting through it.
Sun Ling felt a long sigh of relief; the time had come, and she should be pregnant!
So, on a clear and sunny afternoon, while everyone was sunbathing in the yard, chatting and gossiping about their families...
"Ugh...ugh...!"
In front of everyone, Sun Ling deliberately pretended to vomit a few times, sounding unwell.
