Chapter 155: One Hundred and Fifty-Four, Past Events
Luo Shu gave a mocking cold laugh, "Do I need to find someone to confirm it?" She turned her head to look at Luo Jianmin beside her, "Big Uncle, you probably know about this too, right?"
Luo Jianmin let out a long sigh and nodded his head, "I know!" He never expected that this matter would ultimately fail to remain a secret.
He still remembered those times, which were the hardest years. Like other aid recipients, Luo Shu’s mother had been sent down from the city to their village, working in the fields with the villagers, sharing communal meals.
She was beautiful and smart, and most of the young men in the village liked her. He had secretly liked her too, but at that time, he was already married, so he could only abandon the thought.
One day, his father called him and Jiansen to his room.
After asking the two brothers to sit down, Luo Gensheng looked at his younger son Luo Jiansen and said, "Jiansen, you will marry Yushuang tomorrow."
"Really?! She agreed?" Jiansen’s eyes lit up, he asked excitedly. Song Yushuang was a goddess unattainable in his heart. How could she possibly agree to marry him, a country bumpkin like him? He truly felt as if he were in a dream.
Luo Gensheng nodded his head with some difficulty and said, "After marrying Yushuang, you must treat her well. It’s not easy for a girl to come to such a place alone. And the child in her belly, you must also treat it as if it were your own."
Jiansen suddenly stood up from his chair, and, in disbelief, stared at Luo Gensheng, "Are you asking me to become a ready-made father? I won’t marry!" He did like Song Yushuang, but he absolutely refused to marry an unfaithful woman; he would be laughed at for the rest of his life.
"Don’t you like Yushuang?" Luo Gensheng knew his younger son’s thoughts. That was the reason why he agreed when Song Yushuang came to seek his help.
"Even if I like her, I will not want an unfaithful woman. You think I’ll marry a ’broken shoe’? Dream on!" Jiansen roared angrily. What he hated most was Song Yushuang’s shamelessness, carrying another man’s child and still hoping he would play the role of a cheap father.
