Chapter 401 Sisters by Relationship
In Suzhou, Song Ying was watching TV when suddenly, the telephone rang urgently.
"Hey, second sister!"
Song Ying's heart skipped a beat, and her relaxed expression instantly turned tense. She quickly sat up straight, and a thought involuntarily flashed through her mind.
Could it be that Dongzhe and Tunan's business has run into trouble?
Worry made her voice tremble involuntarily. "Second sister, has something happened to Dongzhe?"
On the other end of the phone, Lin's second aunt was so excited that she spoke in a hurry, and her less-than-perfect Mandarin made her speech a bit hesitant.
"Sister-in-law, no, no." She paused, trying to calm herself down.
"I have good news for you. I asked Dongzhe if Tunan was reliable, and Dongzhe said that Tunan is his girlfriend's older brother. Our Dongzhe has a girlfriend, sister-in-law."
Hearing her second sister's excited tone, it didn't seem like anything bad, so she quickly covered the microphone hole of the phone and shouted at the top of her lungs toward the kitchen.
"Wu Feng, Wu Feng, my second sister called, but I can't understand what she's saying."
Hearing the shouts, Lin Wufeng quickly came out of the kitchen, wiped his hands with his apron, and took the phone with concern.
On the other end of the phone came a string of gurgling Hokkien from my second aunt. The two were talking animatedly and at a rapid pace.
As soon as Lin Wufeng hung up the phone with a smile, Song Ying rushed over, her face still showing tension, and anxiously asked, "Wufeng, did something happen to Dongzhe?!"
Seeing her nervous expression, Lin Wufeng couldn't help but smile. He reached out and gently pressed her onto the sofa, supporting her shoulder.
"The second brother said that Dongzhe has a girlfriend, and her brother is Tu Nan. On the phone, the second brother even praised Tu Nan for being a college student, cultured and quick-witted. He also said that Dongzhe has good taste in finding a college student family, hahahahaha."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Upon hearing this news, Song Ying shook her head in disbelief.
"Wu Feng, is it true? Dong Zhe and Xiao Ting, they're dating!"
Song Ying didn't really believe that Xiao Ting and Dong Zhe could get together. After all, people usually called them "cleaver and chopping board," but that was just a joke among the adults in the neighborhood.
"Dongzhe and Xiaoting are good students helping poor students. They are neighbors who have been together since childhood. Their going in and out together is arranged by the teachers. It shouldn't be like that."
As someone who had been through similar experiences, Lin Wufeng had long suspected that the subtle interactions between his son and Xiaoting were not simple.
Now that Dongzhe has admitted his relationship with his second aunt, he understands that it's inappropriate for them, as parents, to keep it a secret from their child.
Lin Wufeng's expression turned serious as he began to consider what to do next.
“Song Ying, it seems this is true. But Sister Ling is heavily pregnant right now, so let’s wait until Dong Zhe comes back before we discuss this further. According to the customs of Fujian Province, once they know that two young people are dating, they must visit each other in person.”
Song Ying's eyes widened, her face filled with surprise and joy. She grabbed his arm, seemingly still unable to believe it was real. "Wu Feng, you're not kidding, are you?"
Lin Wufeng laughed even more heartily and shook his head. "I had long noticed that our son's feelings for Xiaoting were unusual. I didn't expect him to be as daring and impulsive as you, inheriting your reckless personality."
Upon hearing this, Song Ying laughed even harder, her mouth stretching uncontrollably as she sat on the sofa, laughing so hard she almost fell over.
She had always been particularly fond of Xiaoting and wished she could snatch Xiaoting away from Sister Ling and raise her as her own daughter. Now, Dongzhe had helped her realize her wish.
She shouted excitedly, "Ahhh, Lin Wufeng, why didn't you tell me sooner? Were you keeping it from me?"
Lin Wufeng hugged Song Ying. "I'm just worried that if Dongzhe and Xiaoting don't get together, it will be awkward for us parents to get involved too early. But deep down, I also hope they do get together, that would be the best."
He gently patted Song Ying's back.
"Wu Feng, I'm so happy! As expected of Song Ying's son, he's a man who gets things done quietly! Xiao Ting and Dong Zhe have become friends."
Song Ying was so excited that her face turned red. She broke free from Lin Wufeng's embrace and kept spinning around in the room, muttering to herself.
Suddenly, she stopped. “None of my gold necklaces are suitable for Xiaoting to wear, Wu Feng. We still have six thousand yuan at home. When Xiaoting comes back, we’ll take her to buy whatever she likes. No, we should give her the money. Wu Feng, I’m afraid I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Lin Wufeng smiled as he looked at Song Ying, who was so excited she was almost oblivious to everything. He reached out and pulled her, who was twirling around in the living room, and the two of them sat down on the sofa together.
He looked into Song Ying's eyes and instructed her, "Now that Sister Ling is pregnant, you know how much Teacher Zhuang and Sister Ling value Xiao Ting. You big mouth, don't go and say anything to Sister Ling. Wait until Dong Zhe and Tu Nan come back before you talk, understand?"
After hearing this, Song Ying took a while to calm herself down and nodded heavily.
"I know what I'm doing, Wu Feng, don't worry."
She patted her chest, assuring Lin Wufeng, but her eyes still couldn't hide her excitement.
"Wu Feng, I'm still worried. Is this really true?" Song Ying still couldn't believe the sudden good news and asked again.
Lin Wufeng leaned back on the sofa, a smile on his face. "It couldn't be more true. Our Dongzhe, just like you, can't keep secrets. Once you know about our family, Lingjie's family will know too. Once Dongzhe knows, Xiaoting and Tunan will know too. Since he told Lao Er that Tunan is his girlfriend's older brother, then it can't be wrong."
He patiently analyzed the situation for Song Ying, putting her completely at ease.
That night, Song Ying lay in bed with a smile on her face, even in her sleep, her mind filled with the sweet images of Lin Dongzhe and Xiao Ting.
She kept thinking to herself: Lin Dongzhe is amazing, he gave her such a big surprise.
Lin Wufeng lay down beside her, looking at her happy expression, and felt happy too.
He knew that Song Ying liked soft and tender little babies, and that Song Ying had begged him to have another child, but he knew in his heart that Song Ying's body did not allow it.
In his heart, Song Ying was more important than any other child, so for so many years, no matter how much Song Ying begged him, his attitude remained unwavering: he would not have another child.
Moreover, current policies do not allow it.
