Yu Yong’s eyes were filled with heartache. “I’m serious.”
As Mei Zhao’s good brother for many years, Yu Yongzhen felt that Mei Zhao was quite a jerk.
When he couldn’t give birth, no one despised him. Now that his wife was finally pregnant, she insisted that it wasn’t his child. What had Pang Jiao done to him?
How difficult was it for a woman to give birth to a child? Did could he abandon her just like that?
Thinking of Pang Jiao’s weak gaze, Yu Yong’s heart ached.
“I can’t just watch you take care of the child alone, right?” He held Pang Jiao’s hand. “Besides, although I was fired from the army because of the divorce, I still have some money in my hands. It’s not a problem to support you and your child.”
After Yu Yong finished speaking, he wanted to hug Pang Jiao, but she pushed him away.
She wiped her tears and said, “You’re really willing to take me home?”
Yu Yong nodded. “Of course. I want to bring you back to meet my parents. When the time comes, I’ll say that the child is mine. You just have to stay at my house in peace. I’ll treat you well..
“You’re the best!” Pang Jiao threw herself into Yu Yong’s arms and cried non-stop.
Three days later, Pang Jiao held her slightly bulging stomach and followed Yu Yong back to Sangqiu County.
At that moment, Song Yao was busy in the kitchen with Aunt Liu. She had also sent the floral dress she had bought from the department store to Aunt Liu.
Aunt Liu changed into her dress and looked at herself in the mirror for a long time.
“Oh my, Yao! Your taste is too good! I wonder whose son will benefit from this in the future!”
Song Yao thought of Zuo Huo and couldn’t help but blush.
Aunt Liu came up and said, “By the way, I’ve never seen your man before. Your child is so young. As his father, how can he be at ease letting you take care of him alone?”
Song Yao’s expression froze. “Aunt Liu, you’ve misunderstood. I’m divorced.”
“Huh?” Aunt Liu was dumbfounded. “You’re divorced? I’m sorry, I didn’t think through my words. Don’t take it to heart.”
“It’s fine.” Song Yao smiled. “It’s been a long time. People have to move on, right?”
“You’re right! People have to look forward! It’s not like it has to be him!”
Unlike the others, after Aunt Liu found out that Song Yao was divorced, not only did she not make any sarcastic remarks, but she even hugged her shoulder and said, “I think you’re quite strong. If it were any other woman, she would have cried, thrown a tantrum, and hanged herself! You did the right thing. Women should be more unyielding. We’re not anyone’s accessories. Just lead a good life. When the time comes, we’ll marry if we can meet someone good. If we don’t meet someone good, we’ll live by ourselves.”
Not to mention anything else, Aunt Liu’s words really touched Song Yao’s heart.
She said helplessly, “But what if one day, I meet a handsome man from a good family who has never been married who likes me?”
Aunt Liu helped Song Yao wash the pot. “Isn’t that a good thing? Are you afraid that he’s a liar?”
“No!” Song Yao thought of Zuo Huo and still felt uncertain. She said,
“I’m worried that he will regret it one day. After all, I’m a divorcee…’
“Child! How old are you? Why are you thinking like an old lady in the countryside?!” Aunt Liu interrupted Song Yao and said helplessly, “It’s not your fault for getting a divorce. If you like him, then talk to him. If you don’t, then forget it! What’s wrong with getting married twice? Since he chose you, he has to accept this!”
After Aunt Liu finished speaking, she let out a long sigh. “Actually, my son also likes a woman who has been married once. He has even secretly liked her for a long time.”
“Then… what do you think?” Song Yao asked.
“Of course I support them. The next generation will have their own blessings. I won’t interfere in their matters. I hope they won’t interfere in my matters!” Aunt Liu turned off the fire after saying that and picked up her chopsticks to taste the red braised pork that Song Yao had just made. “It’s a little salty.”
Song Yao immediately took a bite. Could it be that she had added too much soy sauce?
“Then what should I do? I remember doing it the way you told me to.”
Aunt Liu frowned. “Then which segment went wrong?”
Outside the door, Song Xiao climbed up the ladder and hung up the plaque with the words “Song Family’s Restaurant.” Song Ping instructed from below, “A little to the left.”
“A little lower!”
Song Xiao put the plaque away and asked the two workers to help stabilize it. He then took a hammer to stabilize the plaque.
Liu Mu and his wife were munching on melon seeds outside the courtyard, helping to hand something over from time to time.
Wang Hong suddenly saw an acquaintance.. She pointed at that person and asked Liu Mu, “Liu, look! Isn’t this Yu Yong?”
