e.Ripples clutched the flimsy newspaper in her hand, already turned into the alleyway and back to Hu Qian's secret safe house. Only then did she unfold the paper and read it carefully.After handing th...Liàn'yī looked at Yú Mèifēng's delight in her eyes and couldn't help but feel sorry for the original owner's eldest son.
Her husband passed away, and because she was pregnant, she didn't attend the funeral. She didn't seem sad at all on her face, but she didn't even bother with her own child. It was rather intriguing. Now that Yu Meifeng knows the compensation has been paid, and she doesn't need to ask Lian Yi to pick her up, she has proactively gone home.
With just a glance, Lián Yī only saw through the insincere Yu Meifēng. He calmly said:
"Since you said you'd listen to me, I have one question before we proceed. I hope you'll be truthful because your answer will affect how I distribute the compensation."
Yu Mei-feng's eyes flickered, this time she was more serious.
"Mom, you ask! I'll tell you the truth."
"Dabao's father is gone, it was an accident. None of us wanted this. I have lost my eldest son, and you have lost your husband. But you are still young. So I just want to ask, are you going to take another step forward, or stay home with the two children"
Yu Meifeng bit her lip and didn't answer right away. She was worried that if she said she wanted to take another step forward, Song Qingshan wouldn't pay her a single cent in compensation.
Ripple glanced at the other person and continued to say:
"Meifeng, as a mother-in-law, of course I hope you can stay with Qingshan. But as a woman, I know how difficult it is to be a widow. I have tasted the bitterness myself, and I don't want you to experience it again. Besides, you are still young, and it is understandable to find someone to rely on. I understand and will not stop you."
When Yu Meifeng heard this, she was touched. Her eyes were slightly red. She didn't expect that the person who understood her the most and supported her remarriage was actually her mother-in-law. Because she said with some choked voice:
"Mom, thank you for understanding my difficulties. I'm a woman too, and I also want a husband who loves and cares for me. I also hope for a harmonious family. It's just that Qingshan..."
Before she could finish her words, she began to wipe away her tears.
Although she didn't say it directly, Lian Ri understood Yu Meifeng's meaning. She continued:
"Well then, I'll send the Buddha all the way to the West. You don't have to worry about it anymore, the child is after all surnamed Song. It wouldn't be good for you to bring him along and remarry. As for whether to keep the child in your belly, that's up to you."
I will divide the compensation into three parts. My share as a mother is like retirement money that Qingshan gives me. One part will be kept for Dabao, to be used for his education and marriage in the future. The remaining part will go to you as compensation, because since you married into this family, you have both contributed and suffered. With this money, no matter if you marry or live independently later, you won't have a hard time.
Yu Meifeng was stunned when she heard Lian Yi's distribution. According to her, since she was pregnant, her mother-in-law would definitely be willing to give her half the money to keep her child. She also knew that it was impossible for her to keep all the compensation in hand, but her mother-in-law's method directly ignored her unborn child, and she immediately became unhappy. She frowned and said:
"Mom, I'm carrying Qingshan's baby."
Don't worry, there is another way to classify it.
Ripple raised his hand to interrupt Yu Meifeng's words and continued:
The second way to distribute the money is to split it into four parts: one for me, one for Dabao, one for you, and one for your child. However, this money will only be distributed after the child is born, and the child will need to undergo an identification process upon birth.
If you confirm that the child in your belly is Qing Shan's, I will give you money, and you won't have to raise the child. You can still marry freely.
"Mom, what do you mean by that Whose child could be in my belly"
Yu Meifeng immediately refused, gritting her teeth and saying.
"Only you know who the child in your belly belongs to. If you were clear about it, Qingshan wouldn't argue with you, and you wouldn't have gone back to your mother's house. I'm not yet fifty, my ears aren't deaf, my eyes aren't blind, and I'm certainly no fool."
Now the ripple's tone had turned cold. Looking at Yu Meifeng gritting her teeth, she continued:
"Yu Meifeng, you think just because Qingshan is gone, there's no way to prove if the child in your belly is his"
Do you think policemen just eat for nothing Because Qingshan died in a car accident, they conducted an autopsy and kept his hair as I requested.
I consulted with the detective handling the case. As long as you give birth to the child, they can determine if the child is Keqing's, even though it will cost money, I'll pay for it.
If the child in your belly is my son, I have nothing to say. I'll raise him, and you don't have to worry about it. Just keep moving forward, and I promise you won't have a care in the world.
But if it's determined that the child isn't my son, you should know the consequences. You won't get a single penny, and I won't cover for you. After all, you, your child, and our Song family have nothing to do with each other.
The ripples of the words caused Yu Meifeng's heart to pound, leaving her momentarily speechless. After all, there were certain things she was aware of deep down, but she had never expected that her usually kind and gentle mother-in-law possessed such a shrewd side.
Ripples, watching Yu Meifeng's ever-changing expression, continued:
Don't get any lucky ideas either. You can go and find out for yourself. See if I'm telling the truth. Our Qingshan Town can't do any appraisals, but the provincial capital can. It just costs more money.
Even though Qingshan is gone, I still have two sons. As long as it can be determined that the children are related to their uncle, my wife will accept them.
The ripples blocked all of his possible escape routes, and then he issued an order to leave.
"Think it over carefully and give me an answer in three days. If you don't come back in three days, I will assume you chose the second allocation plan, and you'll move back home. I'll be waiting for the baby to be born."
Even if it takes half a year, you can't get married with a big belly. After all, no man is willing to be a sucker. Besides the father of your child.
After finishing her sentence, Lian Yi fell silent again. She picked up a handkerchief from the table and continued embroidering, ignoring Yu Mei Feng completely.
Yu Mei-feng sat for a while, digesting her mother-in-law's words, and then turned around and walked away without hesitation.
After the courtyard gate closed, Dabao walked out from inside. He looked at the closed courtyard gate, his eyes filled with tears. He had heard the conversation between his grandmother and mother just now. It turned out that the baby in his mother's belly was not his brother. He couldn't understand it a little bit.
"Dabao, come here to grandma."
Ripple looked like a grandson of a stray dog, somewhat helplessly said.
"Milk!"
Dabo turned and plunged into Lianyi's arms, and that's when he finally broke down crying.
The ripples didn't deliberately hide the truth from her grandson, but she also hadn't planned on revealing it so soon. It was just that Yu Meifeng happened to arrive at noon. Her grandson was napping in the inner room, and they probably woke him up with their voices. So, he heard the latter half of the conversation and learned some of the truth.
The ripples gently patted Dabao's spine, comforting him.
"Don't cry, Dabao. You still have your grandmother, second uncle, and third aunt, fourth uncle. They will all love you twice as much."
"Milk, Mom doesn't want me anymore"
"She's not rejecting you, she just wants a better life." quick."Ripple spoke, her fingers working the trigger with practiced ease."Got it! Arriving at the corner in one minute."As expected, a minute later gunshots rang out behind the three of them. Two fel...
