Chapter 209: The matter of several daughters-in-law.
When they learned that their two sons were going to be adopted out, time seemed to freeze and everything around them became unusually quiet.
Their eyes widened, their faces filled with astonishment, their minds blank, completely unable to comprehend this sudden change. At this moment, they were like dumb people who had lost the ability to speak, standing there blankly, overwhelmed by this shocking news.
Outside the door, people whispered in low voices, and the slight murmurs were particularly clear in the quiet atmosphere. "Oh my God, two sons are going to die at once! How many sons does he have to have!"
This sentence hit everyone's heart like a heavy hammer, and made everyone fall into deep thought. Someone echoed: "In my opinion, there must be at least three sons. Otherwise, his family will really face the danger of extinction!"
Everyone nodded in agreement, with worry and helplessness revealed on their faces.
At this moment, someone suddenly said:
"Hey, do you think they are using this guy as a reproductive tool? They are using him like a stallion!"
"Now that you mention it, if it's true, it suddenly feels like being involved with a high-ranking official isn't so appealing anymore."
As soon as the voice fell, the noisy discussion suddenly stopped, and the whole room suddenly became silent. Everyone stood there as if they were cast under a spell, not daring to make a sound.
The lively scene just now suddenly cooled down, and the atmosphere became extremely solemn. Several people looked at each other, their eyes revealing fear and uneasiness, fearing that they would say the wrong thing and get into trouble.
So they quickly closed their mouths, pricked up their ears, and listened attentively to the movements in the house.
The godmother gently rubbed her brows with her hands, her sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through all lies. She suddenly grabbed Hou Jie's ears tightly and asked in a tone that was almost blaming but also full of concern:
"Let's not talk about this for now. Tell me why you and Chunhua have come to the point of divorce. She is such a good girl, gentle and virtuous, and thrifty. You finally married her. Did you do anything to let her down?"
Hou Jie's head was buzzing due to his godmother's series of sudden questions, as if countless bees were flying around his ears, giving him a splitting headache.
He was full of helplessness and rubbed his temples with both hands in annoyance, with a bitter smile on his face. He was secretly annoyed and blamed himself angrily, "Oh my, I am such a fool! How can I be so stupid? I am so stupid!"
"Originally, my original intention was just to keep this matter secret, live a quiet and smooth life, and experience the wonderful taste of having a beautiful woman in a golden house and being a winner in life. Who would have thought that now that the truth has been revealed, I have dug a huge hole for myself."
Thinking of this, Hou Jie couldn't help but slap his forehead hard, wishing he could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
When his eyes accidentally swept across his godmother's face full of care, his eyes involuntarily revealed a little evasion, mixed with a hint of imperceptible embarrassment.
Godmother stared at him closely, her eyes filled with confusion and doubt. He suddenly felt uncomfortable all over, rubbing his hands awkwardly, rubbing his nose a few times, then taking a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound less trembling, but still hesitant and stammering:
"Well... well... godmother! Actually... I haven't divorced Chunhua."
After hearing this, my godmother's eyebrows were tightly furrowed together, as if they were twisted into a knot by an invisible force, and the already strong suspicion on her face became even more dense like a dark cloud.
She stared at the person in front of her with wide eyes, and asked anxiously: "Since you are not divorced, why do all those people in the yard say that you are divorced? Could it be that they are all wrong? What is going on? "
Hou Jie sighed softly and nodded slowly, his voice low and helpless: "Godmother, don't be angry, they are not wrong... In fact, the one who divorced me was not Chunhua, but... your other daughter-in-law."
These words were like a thunderbolt that struck my godmother. She trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted, and then quickly jumped up from the chair.
She looked at this guy who always made her worry so much in disbelief, her eyes full of astonishment and anger: "What! You actually have another wife? Why didn't you tell me?"
The godmother was so angry that she was shaking all over. She pointed at him and said with trembling lips: "You kept shouting in front of me that you had a wife, you had a wife, and I really thought that Chunhua was the only one in your heart! Who would have thought that you actually hid another one secretly outside! Well, you heartless little bastard, you actually hid such a big thing from me!"
By the end of this, the godmother was so furious that she could not contain herself. The rage in her heart was burning so fiercely that she wished she could rush up and give this unfilial son a severe lesson.
However, she still thought of the mother-son relationship, so she suppressed her anger and angrily cursed: "Humph, if it weren't for the fact that you are my godson, if it were someone else, I would have beaten you to death with a stick!"
After saying that, the godmother waved her arm and punched Hou Jie hard several times.
As if she suddenly realized something, her face revealed an expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal, and she shouted loudly:
"Could it be Yan'er? Oh my, I haven't seen her for several years! You bad guy, you are really capable. You actually married Yan'er quietly and even hid such a heavy marriage from me."
Faced with his godmother's questioning, Hou Jie felt more and more embarrassed and uneasy. Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead, and he felt extremely uncomfortable as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
At this time, the nurses and doctors standing nearby were once again shocked by this sudden and shocking news. They were all dumbfounded, their eyes wide open like bells, their faces full of curiosity and excitement.
However, at this moment, the two people in the room were completely unaware of the doorman's strange gaze. Hou Jie was racking his brains to think about how to explain the matter to his godmother. His mind was like a tangled mess, so how could he have the mind to care about other things!
Hehehe!!! Just keep laughing foolishly.
After hearing Hou Jie's ambiguous response, the godmother was furious. She raised her hand in anger and mercilessly interrupted his words, shouting:
"What are you talking about? You clearly don't treat me as your own! You actually dared to hide such an important matter as marriage from me without saying a word. I really loved you in vain."
Godmother's face was full of anger and her voice rose a few decibels, which made Hou Jie shiver.
The godmother started to make excuses and talked on and on. "Why did you divorce Yan'er, who is such a good child? Are you afraid that bigamy will be discovered?"
