Chapter 003 The Groom is Back
Wen Kexin snorted coldly, "It's a new society now, and marriage is free. I was deceived and I don't recognize this marriage. Besides, I'm only fifteen years old, not yet an adult. It's illegal to say that your Song family locked me up and forced me to marry."
Sister Song was unmoved and said sarcastically, "I didn't expect you to be full of moral principles. Nowadays, every girl in the countryside gets married at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Who has violated the law? Just now, your family held a wedding banquet. Everyone in the village can testify that you married Song Mo. If you want to break off the engagement, you have to give up your reputation."
Wen Kexin continued confidently, "Everyone knows that this marriage is my aunt's. If my father hadn't been injured and needed money, I wouldn't have agreed to marry in. Since the Wen family didn't fulfill their promise, this marriage certainly doesn't count."
Although she didn't like the two women, she still wanted to argue.
It would be best if she could get the support of the Song family. If the Song family was cold-blooded and didn't care, she would definitely not want this marriage.
She is not the original owner who can be manipulated by others!
Sister Song accused impatiently, "This is your Wen family's business, and has nothing to do with our Song family. Since the engagement, the Song family has given a lot of betrothal gifts and festival and New Year gifts, but you didn't bring back a single hair. You don't feel guilty, but you still want to deny the marriage? You are so ignorant!"
Wen Kexin could hear that Song Mo's elder sister was angry about the Song family's marriage exchange and obviously looked down on her, so she put the blame on her.
Recalling the original owner's memory, since the engagement, the younger sister-in-law has had new clothes to wear all year round, and has constant pocket money. She has never had to do any water and has been kept at home.
She retorted bluntly, "It's no use telling me these things. Go ask whoever gave the betrothal gifts and festival gifts to! This matter has nothing to do with me. I was tricked."
The short middle-aged woman pulled Sister Song's collar and whispered, "Sister, what's the point of talking about these things? Didn't mother ask us to call her over?"
Wen Kexin could tell that the two had completely different personalities.
I heard that Sister Song Mo got married and moved to town, and has a temporary job.
As the saying goes: the economic base determines the superstructure. No wonder this woman dresses well and has such a condescending attitude.
The short middle-aged woman who looks honest should be my second sister who married and moved to the neighboring village to farm.
She knew that it was useless to say these words to these two people, so she decided to go to Song Mo's mother and talk to her first.
In the original owner's memory, the old lady of the Song family gave birth to two daughters and two sons. The two daughters were married when they were older, leaving only two sons in the family.
The eldest son Song Wen passed away, leaving only two children, including the second son Song Mo who is a soldier.
I heard that the old lady was kind-hearted, so I decided to discuss with her and resolve the issue peacefully.
She said to them calmly, "I don't want to waste time talking to you. Take me to see Aunt Song."
Soon, Wen Kexin arrived at the door of the Song family's main house, and suddenly a pungent smell of traditional Chinese medicine filled the air.
Looking again, I saw an old woman lying on the kang who looked to be in her sixties, thin and withered.
I heard that Aunt Song is not even fifty years old.
Although Wen Kexin didn't know medicine, she put herself in the other person's shoes and realized that it was obvious that the other person had suffered physical and mental torture from the successive blows.
The eldest son died suddenly; the eldest daughter-in-law remarried; the youngest son Song Mo was not at home; the designated daughter-in-law broke off the engagement, and the in-laws married a young girl in her place. Who can withstand so many consecutive blows?
Seeing the old woman covered with a thin quilt with patches, and thinking of the new bed sheet on the kang in the new house, I think Aunt Wen is indeed a good person.
As for the door of the new house being closed, it should be the work of Sister Song Mo.
Seeing several people coming in, the old man's scrutinizing gaze rested on Wen Kexin's thin body and pale face.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart. I knew that this girl was a good person and more reliable than Wen Hehua. But I didn't expect her to be so thin. She was said to be fifteen years old, but she looked only twelve or thirteen years old. This... is clearly a child who has not grown up.
Will Song Mo resent himself when he sees his mother agreeing to marry such a daughter-in-law?
I am struggling with this.
Wen Kexin said calmly, "Aunt, are you feeling better?"
Old Madam Song put away her complicated thoughts and said kindly, "Much better, Ke Xin, this is Song Mo's eldest and second sisters."
Wen Kexin greeted politely: "Big sister, second sister."
The eldest sister Song ignored her, and the second sister Song smiled at her in a friendly manner.
Sensing the two's attitudes, Old Lady Song said to her two daughters, "Go clean up the kitchen while Mommy talks to her. Oh, call Goudan and Dani back to meet their second aunt."
After the two sisters left, the old lady said in a friendly manner, "Your name is Ke Xin, right? Since the Wen family sent you here, you should be a good daughter-in-law of the Song family. Mother will not treat you unfairly."
Wen Kexin muttered to herself: What Old Lady Song said is quite pleasing to the ear.
She waved her hands hastily, and said calmly, "Aunt Song, I agreed to the substitutionary marriage under certain conditions. You should have heard about my father's story. My grandmother promised to use the betrothal money to treat my father's illness. But she still hasn't paid to send my father to the hospital, so forget about the marriage. I'm still young and don't want to get married so early. Besides, it's not me who has the engagement between the two families. If you feel cheated, the Song family can go to the Wen family to settle the score."
She had to explain the situation. It was not that she wanted to regret the engagement, but that her grandmother's words did not count. In order to avoid being blamed.
She wanted to return to the Wen family as soon as possible, get the money and send the original owner's father to treat his injuries.
Since she had promised the original owner, she had to fulfill her promise.
Although she had no money, she had a space villa with so many supplies and gold jewelry, so she would not worry about not having enough money after being hospitalized.
The old lady of the Song family looked at her with a strange look and said, "Ke Xin, aren't you afraid that your reputation will be ruined if you leave the Song family? Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to find a husband after you break off the engagement?"
Wen Kexin said in a resolute voice: "Aunt Song, if I ignore my biological father and hide in the Song family like this, I will have a guilty conscience for the rest of my life. Anyone with a discerning eye will know who is right and who is wrong. If someone has a malicious mind, confuses right and wrong, and talks nonsense to damage my reputation, I will accept it."
Old Mrs. Wen's frown relaxed, and she looked at him with admiration and said, "Good boy, your aunt will help you get justice."
Wen Kexin didn't expect that the old lady of the Song family was so sensible.
I made it very clear that I didn't have to be her daughter-in-law, but she still offered to help me.
Just as I was about to say a few words of thanks, I saw two children running in from the door.
The children, wearing washed-out clothes, came to the old lady and asked curiously, "Grandma, are you calling us?"
There are quite a few people in the village, and in the original owner's memory, the impression of these two children is very vague.
It can be seen that the Song family has good genes, and the two children are good-looking.
The chubby boy grinned at Wen Kexin as if to show his friendliness and said, "Hello, auntie. My name is Goudan and she is Sister Dani."
Dani was obviously older than the boy, but she was shy and said nothing, just secretly glancing at her a few times.
In the original owner's memory, none of the naughty kids in the Wen family were as likable as the two kids in front of him.
She would not vent her anger on the child, but smiled and nodded and said, "Okay!"
At this time, a man's magnetic and loud voice came from the gate of the courtyard, "Mom, I'm back!"
The old lady quickly heard it and said in surprise: "My second son is back..."
Song Mo is back?
Wen Kexin's heart suddenly started pounding.
