As soon as I heard what my father said, I felt a little embarrassed.
Rural people attach great importance to having children, especially if they don't allow other people's children to be born in their own home, as they say the family will be unlucky.
In this case, if I don't tell the truth to my father, I guess he will be worried.
But if I tell the truth, I'm afraid he will give me a beating on the spot, right?
"Dad, don't worry about this. Just let her live at home."
I thought about it and decided not to tell him yet.
"What if the baby is born at home?"
My father looked at me worriedly.
"Just raise him at home and treat him as your grandson."
I touched my forehead and said slightly embarrassed.
"My grandson?"
When my father heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
Then he looked at me and said incredulously: "That child can't be yours, right?"
"this......"
Having said this, I really couldn't think of any good lies to deceive my father.
In fact, they should have thought of this kind of thing a long time ago. It's a pity that people like my father and my mother, who have old-fashioned thinking, simply can't think of this step.
Now that the matter has come to this, I have no choice but to admit it. Anyway, paper cannot contain the fire, and sooner or later we will let them know.
So I nodded and said, "It's indeed mine."
"..."
As a result, when my father heard this, he suddenly became stupid.
"Dad, are you okay? Is this a good thing? Our Lao Li family has a child."
I quickly comforted my father to prevent him from being unable to accept it for a while and fainting.
"You...does your wife know about this?"
My father quickly asked me with his eyes wide open.
But after asking, he realized that he had asked nonsense.
Gu Xiaorou was brought home by Chen Ling. How could Chen Ling not know?
"Did you have any problems with your wife? Are you already divorced?"
Sure enough, my father was wrong again.
"It's nothing. I can't explain this to you right now. Anyway, Chen Ling and I are fine."
I said with a speechless expression.
"What's going on? You...are you looking for a mistress? And you're bringing someone home? She's pregnant. You...you're living a good life. Is it the end, are you?"
My father pointed at my nose and said angrily.
"It's not what you think. I just...just think that I have married a few more wives."
I said and raised my hand to make a gesture.
I really didn’t know how to explain it to him, so I had to use the word wife to describe it. Anyway, I was definitely not looking for a mistress.
"How many more wives have you married? You...I...I'll beat you and me to death."
My father said and grabbed a piece of firewood and was about to beat me.
"Hey, don't act recklessly? I'm such an adult, why do you still take action? Besides, you can't beat me, right?"
I quickly took two steps back and warned my father.
Not to mention, these words really frightened my father. He was holding a firewood and pestle there, and for a moment he didn't dare to come forward and hit me.
"Is this right? Chen Ling doesn't mind. Why are you so anxious here?"
I spread my hands as I spoke, "Besides, wasn't it just for the sake of the prosperity of our Lao Li family that I found another wife?"
"What do you mean? Chen Ling can't give birth?"
When my father heard this, his eyes suddenly widened.
"Yes, she has a special health and cannot give birth to children. I have discussed with Chen Ling about finding another wife, so don't worry about it."
I said, waving my hands, and then hurriedly ran into the house feeling guilty.
Naturally, Chen Ling and my mother heard about the farce I was having with my father in the yard just now, but fortunately they didn't say anything.
My mother just glared at me and gave me a warning look.
Chen Ling also rolled his eyes at me angrily.
Only Su Manman stuck out his tongue playfully at me.
I suddenly felt that this girl was still cute and would never give me a look no matter what.
"Hurry up and take a look upstairs? What are you doing here? Do you want to make dumplings too?"
Chen Ling saw me standing there half embarrassed and glared at me again.
"I...I don't know how to wrap up? Then...then I'll go up."
After I said that, I quickly left and went directly upstairs.
When I was with Chen Ling and the others, I didn't notice anything. But when my father and my mother were there, the scene seemed a bit embarrassing.
Although Chen Ling doesn't mind, people of the older generation like my father and my mother will definitely not be able to accept this kind of thing due to their concepts.
So the atmosphere seemed very awkward.
But I think I should get used to it gradually.
After arriving upstairs, I went directly to the room next to the wedding room.
Because I know that Chen Ling will definitely not arrange Gu Xiaorou in our wedding room. Although she doesn’t mind that I have several more wives, and even a table of mahjong, she will definitely have her own private territory. It's a no-brainer.
Sure enough, when I opened the door, I found Gu Xiaorou lying on the bed.
However, this room has obviously been rearranged, making it very warm and comfortable.
This made me feel somewhat guilty, and suddenly I felt like a scumbag. I felt sorry for Chen Ling and also sorry for Gu Xiaorou.
But the matter has come to this, and there is no other way but to try to make up for it in the future.
The moment Gu Xiaorou saw me, her eyes widened.
She just looked at me directly, with an indescribable and complicated emotion in her eyes.
Tears had already begun to well up in her eyes.
I quickly stepped forward and reached out to touch Gu Xiaorou's head.
After more than half a year of separation, it feels like we have been separated for centuries, even making people feel a little dazed.
And her belly has grown a lot, which is obvious.
"I originally wanted to give birth to the child myself."
Gu Xiaorou's face was filled with grievances, and she even cried.
"Fool, how can you face this kind of thing alone? Don't worry, I will always be by your side."
I touched her head and hugged her into my arms.
There were thousands of words to say, but at this moment, I don’t know why? But I couldn't say a word.
Gu Xiaorou also nestled quietly in my arms. She didn't move or say a word for a long time. She just felt this rare warmth quietly.
