Chapter 17 Be a godmother before becoming a mother
The boy's father stood up slowly with his hands on the stool and said to Du Manlin, "Teacher, I want to entrust my son to you and recognize you as a godmother." β
Du Manlin was stunned, for her who had not yet given birth to children, this request was indeed too sudden. She squeaked, not knowing whether to promise him or not?
The child's father saw that Du Manlin was very hesitant, so he changed his words and said, "Teacher, if you feel very embarrassed, just let me say nothing." β
"Big brother, it's not that I'm embarrassed, I'm afraid that I can't afford to be a godmother and live up to your expectations." Du Manlin said humbly.
"Teacher, I ask you to be my son's godmother, just so that he can feel the warmth of a complete family, and I never dare to ask you to do anything to him. As you know, my family has been shattered, and there is no possibility of a reunion. I can also see that your husband and wife are not only in a good relationship, but also real, and the child is no stranger to you, just like a real mother and son. If I can entrust my child to you, I will have no worries. β
Speaking of this, Du Manlin has no matter how big his concerns are, and there is no reason to refuse.
"Since the eldest brother trusts me so much, I will be respectful and obey my orders, and I will comply with your request." Du Manlin slowly squatted down and hugged the little boy into his arms, "Tell Godmother, what's your name?" β
Previously, Du Manlin only knew the little boy, and really didn't know his name.
"Godmother." The little boy's chin rested on Du Manlin's shoulder, and he announced the names of the whole family like reciting Tang poems: "My name is Kang Zhengri, my father's name is Kang Richeng, and my mother's name is Du Na." β
When Kang Jiawei heard this, he became energetic: "Yo, the same surname in the world is one family, it turns out that we are still a family!" My surname is Kang Jiawei, and my wife's surname is Du Manlin. β
The child's father, Kang Richeng, smiled happily and stood on the sidelines, not knowing what to say.
"Since it's a family, what's polite." Kang Jiawei squatted down and pressed Kang Zhengri's small shoulders with both hands, "Zhengri, from now on, I am your uncle, and Teacher Du is your aunt." β
Du Manlin joked: "Let's call it Auntie, Auntie is affectionate." β
Kang Jiawei smiled: "It's an aunt again, it's an aunt again, isn't this a mess?" Big brother, don't you say? β
"Yes, yes." Kang Richeng first nodded, and then shook his head like a rattle, "It's not, brothers become brothers-in-law, sisters become concubines, this is called kissing and kissing." β
"Zhengri, do you say it's better to call your aunt or your aunt?" Kang Jiawei patted Kang Zhengri's little face.
"Call your aunt in your father's face and aunt in your mother's face." Kang Zhengri muttered with obvious sleepiness.
"You little white dot is quite a camel in the wind. Okay, you can scream whatever you like. Du Manlin slowly straightened up.
Kang Jiawei shifted his eyes to Kang Richeng: "Big brother, I don't know a little, why did your father and son fall in love with the name of the North Korean leader?"
Alas! Kang Richeng sighed and said, "That's a long time. To put it simply, my hometown is in Mudanjiang, which is close to North Korea. My father was orphaned at the age of thirteen, and his family was too poor to afford a Chinese wife. Later, I was matched to marry a North Korean smuggler, saying that she was married, but in fact, she just set up a few tables of banquets and invited relatives and neighbors to gather to be a witness. This smuggler later became my mother, and after marrying my father, she became a legitimate Chinese daughter-in-law incognito. Although she became a Chinese citizen, she never forgot her motherland, and in order to express her friendship for her motherland and her love for the leader, after I was born, she suggested that my father give me the name Nisei. Later, after my son was born, I gave him the name Masahi as a sign of respect for my mother. β
Looking at the man in front of him with a guilty face, Du Manlin couldn't tell whether he was resentful or sympathetic in his heart. Speaking of resentment, she sympathized with his miserable family background. Speaking of sympathy, she gritted her teeth and hated him for easily and irresponsibly abandoning his wife and biological flesh and blood.
"Should I call you big brother or brother-in-law?"
Kang Richeng didn't know how to answer for a while.
Du Manlin saw that Kang Richeng was silent, and then said: "Let's call it big brother, big brother." Since it is the eldest brother, it is a family, and the family does not speak two words. Xiaomei has a few words to say to you, it is easy to fall in love, but it is not easy to get married, since you married my sister-in-law and gave birth to such a sensible child as Zhengri, you should be responsible for them, why can you bear to abandon them and live with a shrew who keeps threatening to kill your son? Do you feel happy that you do this? In fact, not only are you unhappy, but your two women and your son are unhappy. Big brother, do you want to let yourself, your woman, and your son live in pain for the rest of your life? β
Kang Richeng shook his head: "What can I do!" β
"Why can't you do it?" Du Manlin paused intentionally, and observed Kang Richeng's expression with kind eyebrows, "Tell me something from your heart, do you still love my sister-in-law?" β
"A husband and wife for a hundred days, if you want to say that you don't love her, you don't believe me."
"Do you love your current wife?"
"I never found love for her."
"Does she love you?"
"I don't feel it either."
"That's right, a woman like this wants your wealth, and once you fall, she will be the first to leave you. Big brother, a couple without love is like two zombies, a family without love is like a grave, and life is like death. Long pain is better than short pain, you have to come out of your current family and go back to your old family and take on your responsibilities as a father and husband. β
"Thisβ" Kang Richeng squeaked.
Du Manlin smiled: "Big brother, I know you have concerns, and you are afraid that your son will be hurt. Don't worry, I will take care of you every day, and you will be fine, and you can rest assured that you can deal with family problems. By the way, I would like to give you a suggestion, the best way to let a woman who is supported by money by her side is money, so you can endure the pain and give her 100,000 yuan at a time! β
"One hundred thousand?" Kang Richeng looked surprised, "This is all the belongings I have accumulated with all my hard work!" To give it to her, she would have run away a long time ago. β
"Don't you just want her to run? 100,000 yuan can send away a demon, can make a son return to you, can reunite a broken family, can regain the happiness of abandonment, do you think it's not worth it? β
"Value Value." Kang Richeng suddenly realized, and nodded as if the chicken pecked rice.
"When will you remarry your sister-in-law, you squeak, Jiawei and I will hold a beautiful remarriage ceremony for you." Du Manlin said, raising his hand and looking at his watch.
Kang Richeng understood, bent down and patted Kang Zhengri's sleepy little face: "Son, listen to your aunt and uncle, Dad will soon return to you and your mother." After saying that, he hesitated for a moment, bowed deeply, and then reluctantly walked out of Du Manlin's bedroom with the little boy's uncle.
