It was precisely because they knew this, and because of the clan's instructions, that no one said these things.
This brought considerable comfort to Elder Qi.
Although he also felt that his idea was wrong.
But compared to the honor of the clan, he felt that it was better for Zhuang Zilan to die than for a widow who went back to her parents' home and froze to death.
Upon hearing this, his previously droopy eyes widened instantly.
"Not dead? Are you sure? Didn't she go back to her parents' house before the New Year and freeze to death?"
Qi Mingyu looked outside helplessly, and seeing that no one was around, he looked away and lowered his voice, saying:
“I also thought she was dead, but a few days ago when I came back to talk about the marriage proposal, my mother said she was still alive.”
Whether she was still alive or not was none of my business.
After all, I've divorced Chi, and she's returned to her family home. I just need to wait to marry Xue.
Unfortunately, my parents disagreed, especially my mother.
She looked down on Xue because she was a merchant's daughter, and also because her family was in the business of selling incense, saying it was bad luck.
She said Zhuang Zilan wasn't dead, and that she was pregnant with my child, and asked me to marry her.
At this point, Qi Mingyu closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and then opened them again to say:
"If I really marry Zhuang Zilan, what future will I have?"
My mother said that Zhuang Zilan was pregnant and afraid of being... well, that's why she came up with this solution.
Patriarch, to be honest, the Xue family knows about my situation.
The idea from the other side is to find Zhuang Zilan, make her abort her child, and then help her find a husband to marry her off.
As compensation, they are willing to provide a dowry of fifty taels.
I have absolutely no idea what to do. I asked my mother where she is, but she won't tell me at all.
She firmly believed that Zhuang Zilan was carrying her grandson and wanted to keep the baby.
At this moment, Elder Qi felt like he was about to faint and even abdicate.
This damn clan leader, let whoever wants to be him be it.
Under the disaster, everyone was already struggling to survive, and there were still a lot of things to deal with in the clan.
For example, we need to work with the village chief to arrange spring plowing for the villagers, and also to relocate the clan's ancestral hall and rebuild it.
For example, since the threshing ground has developed cracks, we need to choose a new location and have someone level it so that it can be used again in the future.
Also, what should we do with the crack? We can't just leave it there and ignore it, can we?
What if a child, or someone walking at night, doesn't see clearly and falls down?
Moreover, besides these, there's also the matter of villagers building houses.
Of course, during this time, they also had to send people to keep an eye on things at the government office.
They can be informed promptly of any new announcements issued by the county magistrate and then follow the arrangements made by the government.
But at a time like this, Qi Wenhan's family still does these things. Damn it, are they just bored and have nothing better to do?
The thought of Zhuang Zilan giving birth to Qi Mingyu's child, thus confirming the affair between the uncle and sister-in-law that Chi had mentioned before the divorce, made him want to slap the idiot in front of him.
Now that you know you've come to this point, why didn't you think of this consequence when you were rolling around together before?
When Zhuang Zilan left, there were no reports of her pregnancy, and her belly did not appear to be growing.
I suppose she became pregnant after her divorce from Chi.
That bastard Qi Mingyu, he can deny it while still managing to roll around together, he's really something.
Since that's the case, then handle it yourself and don't bother him!
Thinking this, Elder Qi fell silent. He planned to pretend to faint if this bastard kept babbling.
He will wake up and abdicate after his son and the others return.
Anyway, he's getting old and his health isn't what it used to be, so it's normal for him to step down.
This kind of trivial matter is none of his business; he doesn't want to deal with it anyway!
