Just the thought of that possibility utterly disgusted the secretary.
In an instant, the secretary understood that Sun Guohong had intentionally made a call to him to remind him to not be cheated by Sun Guoming and Mother Sun. “I’m reminding you that our Guohong is not just an ordinary person. He’s a soldier. Soldiers’ marriages are not recognized legally just because you’ve organized a wedding in the village. Besides, Guohong himself didn’t even turn up for this wedding! Our society isn’t like before. You can’t get married just like that. Even after today’s wedding, Yanyan will have nothing to do with Guohong, and neither will she be part of Guohong’s family. Guohong’s household register is no longer under the village. Before Old Sun left, he already set up an individual household register for Guohong. Once Guohong finds someone that he likes and is suitable, he can get married to her.”
Apart from wasting money, there was nothing to gain from this wedding that Mother Sun had organized.
Thinking about how materialistic Mother Sun was, the villagers did not bother to give them any red packets for the wedding. There was no choice. Sun Guohong had not returned for this wedding. Besides, Mother Sun had said that they would hold another wedding when Sun Guohong took time off to return to the village. It was just that they could not put the wedding off any longer due to Yanyan’s baby.
So as to give Yanyan and her baby a proper status, they had to settle for a simple wedding without Sun Guohong present.
Even though they did not receive any red packets, Mother Sun had spent quite a sum of money on a good spread of fish and meat at the wedding. At the thought of Mother Sun’s loss from organizing this wedding, the secretary was a little happy. “Alright, I’m not going to waste any more time on you. I have to tell Nier to pack her things and return all the things that Sun Guoming has given her.”
After that, the secretary paid no heed to Mother Sun and rushed home angrily. He then instructed his wife to find everything that the Sun family had sent them so as to return them all to the Sun family. They would return whatever his daughter had received from Sun Guoming if they could. For the things that they had already used, they would use money to offset it.
The moment the secretary’s wife and daughter learned that the child in Yanyan’s stomach was definitely not Sun Guohong’s, and could even be Sun Guoming’s, they were both stunned and flushed with anger. “The Sun family is such a bully! How can they do such shameless things? Call it off! We have to call this marriage off! It’s not as though our daughter won’t be able to get married. In the first place, I wasn’t even happy with Sun Guoming becoming my son-in-law. He’s not worthy of our daughter! No matter how outstanding Sun Guohong is, Sun Guoming can’t become Sun Guohong!”
It was true that Sun Guohong was much older than Sun Guoming, but he would much rather let his daughter marry Sun Guohong than have a son-in-law like Sun Guoming. Who would have known that Sun Guoming was even worse and even more shameless than everyone had expected? “Nier, don’t cry. It’s good that we found out about this early. If we only found out after you married into the family, we would really have to cry then. You’re still young, and our family background is good. You won’t have to worry about finding someone better than Sun Guoming. I’ll tell you what. I’ll get a few guys back for you to choose from.”
The secretary’s wife was a very decisive person. Once she made a decision, she did not hesitate for even just a moment and immediately took out all the things that the Sun family had given them. The secretary’s daughter did not feel much for Sun Guoming either. It was just her father who felt that Sun Guohong was sure to make a name for himself in the future. After his daughter, Nier, married Sun Guoming and had a child, her child would have a powerful and intelligent uncle like Sun Guohong. Then, that child would be destined to be much more capable than his grandfather.
