Chapter 403 Completely Torn Open
Old Granny Zhang was jumping up and down, cursing Song Chunhua, while the onlookers chimed in with relish. After all, if it wasn’t for Song Chunhua and the Song Family dragging him down, there would be quite a few families willing to marry their daughters to Song Chongjin if he were alone.
Now that the truth is known, which mother’s heart wouldn’t be troubled?
Such a fine young man, and he was sold off by his foster mother to be a live-in son-in-law.
Spittle flew from Old Granny Zhang’s mouth onto Song Chunhua’s face, who grew increasingly feeble in anger. She was muttering something indistinctly, but no one bothered to listen.
Wang Yongzhu squeezed Song Chongjin’s hand, then broke free and approached the Lizheng, "Second Uncle Li, you heard everything. Today, Auntie Song spilled the truth. Brother Song isn’t her biological son. As for whether he was picked up or stolen, who can know what truly happened back then based only on her words?"
"However, regardless of the reason, since Auntie Song is not Brother Song’s biological mother and signed a Letter of Severance a few days ago, plus with Brother Song having supported Auntie Song since he was a small child for about eight or nine years, including that one hundred taels of silver, wouldn’t that count as repaying any debt of upbringing? Wouldn’t you say that’s the case?"
The Lizheng and several respected elders exchanged glances, unable to refute.
Everyone had seen Song Chongjin’s contributions, taking on the responsibilities of a family since he was barely in his teens. If he had been her biological son, that would be one thing, but now they knew he wasn’t.
Moreover, everyone now felt that Song Chunhua was too scheming. She claimed he was found, but he might as well have been stolen!
If he was indeed a child stolen from another family, that would be a serious matter. Far from owing her any gratitude, she would be nothing but an enemy!
So nobody spoke up, except for the Lizheng who coughed twice before saying, "Yongzhu, what are you suggesting?"
