Chapter 2: She is a widow, but I will marry her too

“The man hadn’t even said anything yet, but Jiang Yinyin was already complaining like a machine gun, ‘Second brother, eldest brother only made that promise to the other party out of consideration for comradeship. But, eldest brother has already sacrificed himself, what does it look like for a pregnant woman to dream of marrying you? If this gets out, what will people at your workplace think of you?’

Jiang Shaochen is currently in a military industrial unit. He recently performed well on a mission and received credit. With the help of family connections, he can be promoted at the latest by the end of the year. He can’t afford any trouble at this time.

Jiang Guofu was obviously persuaded by Jiang Yinyin and his words were tinged with dissatisfaction, ‘You can change the condition.’

Shen Mingzhi shook her head firmly, her voice still calm, ‘I won’t change it.’

The man gave Shen Mingzhi a cold glance and turned to Jiang Yinyin, ‘Is being ungrateful a good reputation?’

‘Dad, you are a soldier and a man. You have taught us since childhood to value loyalty and righteousness. Since eldest brother made a promise and she has come to our door, we should fulfill the promise. I will marry her.’

These words shocked everyone, including Shen Mingzhi.

She originally thought it would take some effort.

Jiang Yinyin was so angry that she jumped up and down, ‘Second brother, she is a widow and carrying someone else’s child! She is not worthy of you!’

‘Shut up.’ Jiang Shaochen’s voice was cold, with an unquestionable force, ‘Did the teachers in school teach you to talk to the widow of a martyr like that? Moreover, this is eldest brother’s last wish, how can he rest in peace in the afterlife?’

Jiang Shaochen’s words were sonorous and powerful, and even his expression revealed a firmness.

Jiang Guofu was moved by his emotions, and his eyes turned red.

His eldest son, Jiang Shaoan, asked him to find Zhang Ping’s widow and take care of her before he died. He valued promises most in his life. If he knew they had driven Shen Mingzhi out, he would not rest in peace even in death.

‘You’ve been traveling for so long, you haven’t eaten yet, have you?’ Jiang Guofu changed the subject. He was sad, but his eldest son was gone, and his youngest son was at a critical stage of promotion. Marrying the daughter of a military officer was completely fine.

If he were to take over Shen Mingzhi, a pregnant widow, wouldn’t people think the Jiang family was stupid?

Even if there were sensible people who understood that they valued loyalty, what would they get besides a good name?

Shen Mingzhi knew that Jiang Guofu did not agree with Jiang Shaochen marrying her.

Her initial goal was to aim for the best possible outcome, find a good place for herself, and leave with some money after giving birth.

Shen Mingzhi was very satisfied with the current result and said softly, ‘I haven’t eaten much.’

‘Yinyin, then quickly ask Aunt Wang to cook, kill the old hen in the yard, and give this…’

‘My name is Shen Mingzhi.’

Shen Mingzhi noticed that Jiang Guofu didn’t even know her name.

Jiang Guofu immediately followed her words, ‘Aunt Wang, also make pork ribs, and give Shen… Mingzhi a good nourishing meal.’

But before Shen Mingzhi could even take a bite of a full meal, her stomach began to contract in pain. She covered her stomach, ‘I feel like my stomach hurts so much…’

As she spoke, Shen Mingzhi’s face showed a look of pain, appearing somewhat ferocious.

Aunt Wang, as someone who had been through it, immediately realized the problem, ‘This Miss Shen is probably going into labor, quickly send her to the health center!’

Jiang Guofu immediately arranged, ‘Guard! Quick, quickly send this Miss Shen to the health center.’

Shen Mingzhi was extremely grateful that she had found a way to stay in the Jiang family. At least this time she wouldn’t be giving birth in a dilapidated temple.

But even more tragic things were yet to come. Giving birth required a family member to sign!

As a widow, where would she find a family member?

Shen Mingzhi, in increasing pain, didn’t even have the strength to speak, ‘I don’t have any family members, can’t I sign myself?’

‘No, if you don’t have a family member to sign for you, our hospital can’t deliver your baby,’ a female doctor in a white coat said righteously.

Even in the next moment, they pushed Shen Mingzhi out of the delivery room.

Shen Mingzhi was miserable. Could it be that she couldn’t change the original owner’s fate and was still going to die here?”
