The 99th Divorce
Chapter 1675
Chapter 1675: Giving Birth Out of Wedlock
"Mom, regardless of what you say, it's still a human life. Since it's here, that means that it possesses a fate that's entwined with our family. If we don't keep it, we'll be committing a grave sin against heaven!"
Li Jinnan looked at Qin Shuhua with a pair of fathomless eyes. His expression was somber.
That was exactly the sentiment Qin Shuhua held too. Once it had been said aloud, the thought gained an even firmer hold in her mind.
But… So what if it was fate? So what if it was a grave sin?
It was bad enough that Qin Shuhua's daughter-in-law had been married before. Now, she even had to deal with the fact that she had been imprisoned before.
If word ever got out, what was everyone going to say about the Li family?
Qin Shuhua's feelings were jumbled in knots. Just as she was about to say something, a sound of footsteps came from behind.
It was accompanied by the sound of a walking stick.
Everyone turned their heads to look. Old Mr. Li had a head of white hair. His face was aged, but his eyes remained spirited.
As he walked over slowly, Li Jinnan quickly got up and went over to support him.
"What are you talking about?"
The old man took his time to walk over. He swept a glance at all of them.
Qin Shuhua stood up and poured a cup of tea of the patriarch. With her eyes red, she greeted, "Hello, Dad."
The old man's attention turned to her hand as he asked, "What is that?"
"It's a pregnancy report, Grandfather. Youyou is pregnant."
When Old Captain Li heard that, his face immediately changed. He reached out for the report. After perusing it, he slammed it down on the table. He bellowed, "This is unacceptable! You aren't married yet, and you're already having a child?"
Li Jinnan lowered his head and cleared his throat. He replied, "Well, I'm young and robust. I wasn't careful and accidentally impregnated…"
"You bastard!" Old Mr. Li ground out through clenched teeth. He picked his walking stick up and was about to swing it down on Li Jinnan.
Qin Shuhua was stunned and quickly rushed forward to stop him. She said, "Dad, don't get worked up. Leave this rascal to me. I'll discipline him well. You should go in and rest."
"Rest? How do you expect me to get any rest at such a time?" Old Mr. Li's face was stern. In a serious tone, he asked, "How could you not tell me about something so significant?"
Qin Shuhua nodded her head and released a sigh of relief.
Li Xiao had not expressed any opinion regarding this matter. If Captain found out about everything, she was sure his reaction would be identical to hers. He wouldn't approve of this woman joining the family.
Before Qin Shuhua could relax, her hopes were immediately dashed by the old man's next words.
"You rascal! When do you intend to take your parents to visit the girl's family and discuss the wedding? Since she's already pregnant, it can't be delayed. You might be able to wait but can the child?"
Upon hearing his words, Qin Shuhua almost choked on her saliva.
Ye Youyou and Li Jinnan, on the other hand, were over the moon when they heard Old Captain Li's instruction. They couldn't contain their smiles.
"I definitely will! As soon as possible! But Grandfather, could you please help me reason with my mom? She still doesn't approve of it!"
"She doesn't approve?"
As expected, Old Captain Li turned his head to look at Qin Shuhua and asked, "How can you not approve? The lady is quite a few years younger than your son. Do you expect her to give birth to your son's child out of wedlock?"
"Exactly! That won't do!" Li Jinnan was afire with righteous indignation.
When he caught sight of the look in Qin Shuhua's eyes, he quickly turned to look away.
Qin Shuhua finally realized that this rascal was using his grandfather's authority to subdue her.
Having uncovered her son's motive, Qin Shuhua grew angry and protested, "Dad, you don't know the reason why I disapprove of it!"
"What's the reason? Wasn't it just a case of being tricked by a scoundrel into marriage? Everyone gets tricked and lied to by someone at some point in their life."
