"How is that possible?" Wang Shuyun looked at Old Mrs. Xu in astonishment, "Ma, youâre joking with me, right?"
"Xiao Yun, listen to me," Old Mrs. Xu started wiping her tears, "Every time I think of Yibo dying so young, I feel terrible! My son, without even leaving a body behind, all these years, itâs just been this old woman remembering to burn some paper money for him."
"After I die, who will remember him?" Old Mrs. Xu wiped her tears and said, "This is the only solution I have."
"Doesnât Yibo have a cousin?" Wang Shuyun said angrily, "If that doesnât work, his sisterâs child can do it too."
Thereâs no reason to involve them here.
"His wife is useless, she gave birth to only one son and then nothing." Old Mrs. Xu held Wang Shuyunâs hand and said, "If it could be done elsewhere, I wouldnât be asking you."
"This matter is not up for discussion, I will not agree to it." Wang Shuyun said flatly.
"Why?" Old Mrs. Xu looked at Wang Shuyun in confusion, "Isnât it just having her give birth to another son to put under Yiboâs name? Or is it that she doesnât want to have one?"
Wang Shuyun felt she simply couldnât communicate with the old lady in front of her.
She didnât seem so unreasonable before, why has she become so irrational now!
"Whatâs this got to do with my Lingling?" Wang Shuyun said helplessly, "You just told me about this, how could she have known."
"Then why wonât you agree? Isnât it just about having another son? I can see her thin waist and wide hips, sheâs good for childbearing, able to have a son." Old Mrs. Xu said happily.
"When sheâs had a son, give him to me to raise, I guarantee to raise him just like Yibo."
Just like Xu Yibo? Wang Shuyun involuntarily shuddered.
"In the future, our family Yibo will also have descendants." Old Mrs. Xu said this with some joy, patting Wang Shuyunâs hand.
"If you want Xu Yibo to have descendants, you can adopt one from the orphanage." Wang Shuyun said a bit angrily, "As for Lingling and Yunhaiâs child, I canât control it."
"How can you not control it? Youâre his mother." Old Mrs. Xu said, "Whatever you say, how dare he not listen? If he doesnât listen, you can report him to the government for being unfilial."
"Unfilial?" Wang Shuyun sneered coldly, "How can he be filial to me when I only gave birth and did not raise?"
"Itâs true, I owe Xu Yibo, but havenât I paid back enough over the years?"
"Living like a widow without a husband all these years, is that not enough? Does anyone know how others have ridiculed me? Do you really think Iâm an idiot? Unaware?"
"I may be sorry to Xu Yibo, but my son is not!"
"For Xu Yibo, I ruined my whole life and tormented Yang Aiguoâs whole life."
"What? Now I have to throw in my son, daughter-in-law, and grandsonâs entire life too?"
"Ma, one cannot be so heartless."
"I, Wang Shuyun, ask myself, havenât I taken care of your family well enough over these years?"
"Letâs think back, was it really for me that Xu Yibo went to the battlefield back then?"
"How come I heard it was because of you back then..."
Wang Shuyun stopped here, looking at Old Mrs. Xuâs defeated face, "Just because I donât say it doesnât mean I donât know."
"Letâs drop this matter, Iâll pretend I havenât heard of it, and you donât need to say anything about it in front of Lingling. I donât agree, and no one else should think about agreeing either."
"You should go back tomorrow." Wang Shuyun stood up and said, "Since you found your way here, you must know how to get back as well, so I wonât see you off."
After saying that, she just left, left, left!
