I am chasing a rough man in the 80s

Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Whatever You Say, It is That Way (Thanks to Rifle Bullet + More)

This answer was both unexpected yet reasonable to Suizi.

"Where is your husband originally from? Was his job relocated to our northern region?" Suizi asked.

"How did you know? His accent’s been twisted into such a thick rough one."

"I guess that in his hometown, clan values are very prominent, right?"

"Have you been investigating us?!"

"No need for that, those who are particularly obsessed with having sons, usually it’s for this reason. I couldn’t understand before, but after gaining some experience and seeing more, I can understand why some people are so persistent. Of course, understanding does not mean I agree."

In areas where clan values are strong, blood ties are the bond, and the most important thing for families is growing their numbers. Boys are regarded as the inheritors of the family line, which causes a significant phenomenon of favoring boys over girls in some areas.

When such thinking is prevalent in an area, trying to defy and get beyond these conceptual constraints, is extremely difficult.

Civilization is progressing, society is developing, but those areas that favor sons over daughters are still disasters. Even after twenty more years, there won’t be much change, which is a really thought-provoking issue.

"My mom was an educated youth with some avant-garde ideas. Back then in our village, some people muttered that a son-in-law should not attend funerals because it would dishonor the ancestors. My mom retorted right back, saying, ’Your ancestors could still jump out and scold you, or visit your dreams to curse you to fall into a pit of dung?’ They have all turned into a handful of ashes already, why so many problems? If you don’t dishonor the ancestors, why don’t you live a decent life to show your ancestors?"

Back then, Suizi was still young and admired her mom for her awe-inspiring presence. But when she grew up and looked back, she realized that her mom was protecting her every time she retorted others.

"You have a very enlightened mother... Does your father think the same?" asked Mother Shen.

"My father... Ah, he died miserably." Suizi shook her head.

"I’m sorry, I didn’t know..."

"It’s okay."

The excuse of her father’s death wasn’t the first time Suizi used it, she is quite proficient in it now.

"Our Shen, was not such a ’prefer sons to daughters’ type before, but it started when he went back to his hometown for an ancestral worship ceremony five years ago. After he got back, he was like someone possessed."

Suizi nodded, she could imagine.

Staying in the north for long, as long as she was not in touch with such people was better. Once going back, she would be influenced by the larger environment. A bunch of people whispering into one’s ear, saying things like a daughter won’t take care of you after you die, your grave will be lonely. These kinds of words can easily stir up feelings in people’s hearts.

"You’ve seen my daughter too, she wasn’t this competitive when she was young. Perhaps she sensed her father’s change, she became much more extreme, always wanting to do better than men, unscrupulous in her actions, always hoping to live like a boy."

Listening to Mother Shen’s way of speaking, she didn’t seem like an unreasonable person, her words even carried some indecisiveness.

Suizi finds it hard to imagine that the domineering Shen Liangyin could have such a mother.

"In the end, it’s because my womb was useless. If only I had borne a son..."

Mother Shen covered her face, sorrowful.

"Are you sure that if you had a son, your husband won’t fool around outside?"

Thinking about Shen’s father flirting with Wang Mengmeng, Suizi didn’t feel that having a son was the complete reason.

He seemed like a total lost cause to her.

"I’m sure. Shen just became confused for a while. You just need to tell me, is that vixen Chang Ling’s child in her belly Shen’s?"

"First, tell me who are Jin Wa’s parents?"

"He was bought by my sister for 500 yuan from outside. I don’t know who his parents are, but I can tell you who the agent is."

This agent should be the human trafficker.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, Suizi immediately asked further.

"Who is the agent?"

"His name is Old Ma. Usually, you can find him in the red-tiled house on Second Street. When visiting his house, you need to knock three times. One more or one less knock, and he won’t open the door."

Suizi chuckled internally. Well, those who do evil are so afraid of retribution they even have strong counter-surveillance.

"I’ve told you everything I know. Now where’s the answer I want? Whose child is it?"

"Whose child do you hope it is? If it’s Old Shen’s, are you going to bring it back and raise it? To maintain your marriage and show the grace of a legal wife?"

"This——" Mother Shen’s nails dug into her clenched fist, her expression full of resentment.

"Both of you have formal jobs, right? If you really bring this child back, will he still have his position? The higher-ups do value issues with one’s style. Your daughter has made so many enemies, it would be terrible if they seized this opportunity."

No need to imagine the distant future, Yu Jingting would never miss this chance.

Suizi could even imagine Yu Jingting rubbing his hands in glee to report him. Jingting would do it.

Offending him once, he won’t forget it in his lifetime.

"It seems your maiden is about to have a baby. Are you going to raise two children at the same time? Have you figured out the generation gap problem?"

"At that time, facing a retired old man due to style problems, and his child, will you miss the present scenery?"

"If such a thing hadn’t happened, he could have held his position for a few more years, right? Would you exchange several years of family glory for a child who is not related to you at all? After having the child, would he break off relations with the mother of the child?"

"Let me phrase it differently: who, after having the child, is Mrs. Shen - you or her?"

Each sentence from Suizi pierced deeper than the one before, each one hitting Mother Shen’s sore spot.

"So, is it really important whether the child is your husband’s or not?"

Suizi picked up her teacup and took a light sip, "Have you heard of Schrödinger’s cat? Similarly, until the child is born, whoever you say the father is, that’s who it is."

Mother Shen suddenly, seemed to understand. There was such an operation!

"But that vixen won’t abort the child so easily, right?"

"That’s your problem to think about, not mine."

If it were Suizi, she couldhave a thousand ways to ruin the scum, make him penniless, kick him out, and let him be lovey-dovey with the vixen.

If the vixen could be in love with a penniless scum until they were old, then Suizi would admit defeat.

"Mrs. Shen, as women, let me give you a little tip at last. What do you think Chang Ling sees in your man? His age, or his lack of hygiene? If he was neither rich nor powerful, which young girl would like a man in his forties?"

Mother Shen was looking at Suizi like she was an alien.

"Are you really only twenty years old?"

"I’m twenty-one now."

"But how do you know so much?"

"That’s probably because.... I have a good mother."

Suizi’s voice stopped abruptly.

She saw two men standing outside the window, one of them was her man, and the other... Meng Jun!

Suizi stiffened.

When did these two get here?

Both men had cigarettes in their hands.

Looking at the length of the burning cigarettes, they’ve been here for a while.

So, while she was here acting as a life coach, stirring up the image of the black lotus trying to convince the wife to abort the mistress’s child, she was exposed?!
