Chapter 5: Fighting for Custody of the Son
After reading the card, Li Shenglin was silent for a few minutes, then threw the card into the trash can. He didn't like such self-loving women and had no sense of responsibility at all.
"Hu Hu (Li Shenglin looks at Little Ruyu's chubby appearance, and gives her a nickname), ah, let's get rid of this old mom, how about Dad finds you a younger and prettier one in the future?"
Not to mention, Xiao Huhu still gave face and actually revealed a brilliant smile to Li Shenglin...
After all, due to Li Shenglin's experience in his past life, he attaches great importance to the sense of responsibility towards family. Besides, who knows if this little meatball is mine or not?
Looking at the little treasure who fell asleep again, Li Shenglin's heart was complicated, with a sense of uncertainty about the future. He had originally planned to find that person named Lin Yuner later and take her away, in order to "take revenge" on Li Shengji, but now it seemed unrealistic...
Of course, there is also a kind of joy and sense of responsibility that comes with being a father for the first time. He can't forget the hurt his own father caused him in his past life, so he must raise this child well, on the condition that it's his own son.
As a ruffian, he has always been physically reactive faster than his brain. Before he knew it, he was already carrying the child on the way to the hospital! What for? To do a paternity test!
In reality, DNA identification doesn't happen so quickly, but here, we'll have results in two hours.
During this time, the nurse also helped him feed the child once with milk powder, unfortunately, it was not breast milk, but milk powder.
......
"Hey, Mom, are you free?" Li Shenglin dialed a phone number he hadn't called in several months.
"What's wrong, got into trouble again?" Hong Youluo asked somewhat anxiously. This son had just changed for less than a year, and wouldn't have solidified his evil tendencies already, would he...?
"Hey, your son is really not giving you peace of mind, huh? But did he cause trouble this time? And who knows if mom will be happy or angry when she finds out about the new grandson? Thinking about mom's personality, I guess she'll mostly be happy. 'Uh, mom, it's hard to explain over the phone, can you come over here for a bit?'"
"Alright, wait for me, if you get into trouble again, I won't care about you anymore!"
......
Half an hour later, Li Shenglin heard the doorbell ring, opened the door, and found that not only his mother had come, but also his father, as if... a tragedy was about to unfold...
"Tell me, what's going on?" Hong Youluo asked hastily. In fact, she was still very satisfied with her son's current situation. But there was just one thing that didn't satisfy her - since he left the hospital last year, her son had become sloppy and didn't take care of himself anymore, wasting the good looks he inherited from her.
Generally speaking, sons are closer to their mothers and daughters are closer to their fathers. The Li family is no exception. When facing his mother alone, Lishenglin can still speak up, but when his father is also present, he always feels somewhat uneasy.
"Uh..." Li Shenglin looked at his old man with a somewhat hesitant expression.
Mr. Li got angry, seeing his son like this must have caused trouble again, this time no matter what he couldn't forgive him, "What are you looking at? Causing trouble again, huh? Look at me? I'll beat you to death, you damn kid!"
"No, I..."
Without giving Li Shenglin a chance to explain, Li's father started chasing and hitting him with a broom in the living room while circling around Li's mother.
"Mom, help! Someone's going to die..."
"Nobody can talk properly today, I'll beat you to death!"
......
Suddenly, a burst of "wa" "wa" crying sounds came from the bedroom. Wipe, his own baby son cried, but didn't have time to accompany Dad here to make trouble, Li Shenglin took one step and rushed into the bedroom, and Li Dad and Li Mom also looked at each other suspiciously and followed him into the bedroom.
The two old men were stunned, their own good-for-nothing son was awkwardly changing the diaper of a plump little baby...
What's going on?
As for his parents, Li Shenglin had nothing good to hide, so he told them the whole story from start to finish.
Then... Li Shenglin and his father stared at each other...
Mrs. Li? She was happily teasing her grandson, and while Mr. Li wasn't looking, she secretly gave her son a thumbs up to show her approval. Her son was really making her proud! Originally, she had planned to have a grandchild in six or seven years, but unexpectedly, it happened this year. Now, she's the first one among her sisters' circle to hold a grandson: "Hmph, my son is the youngest I've given birth to, but he's also the first to give me a grandson!"
Alright, Li Mama is being arrogant again...
Lee Ki-tae, as a physicist and with multiple identities, is not a top-notch figure in Korea, but he is also an outstanding one. However, in this situation, he really doesn't know what to say?
Angry? It seems like there's nothing wrong with this matter at all...
Besides, he's actually quite happy about having a third generation. He has already glanced at his grandson several times in the past while.
Li Shenglin is now like a defendant waiting for sentencing, it's really like sitting on pins and needles! To live or to die, you give me an answer...
Finally, Li's mother, who had just coaxed her grandson to sleep, spoke up, "You two stop daydreaming, this is a good thing, our Li family has an heir now. Shenglin, you can't even take care of the child properly as a man, I'll take the child with your father, if you want to see him, just come back and don't worry about family rules!"
As for the child's mother, he didn't even mention it, and Li's mother wasn't very fond of this irresponsible behavior either.
As soon as he heard that his child was going to be taken away, Li Shenglin blew up, "No way, this is my son, no one can take him away from me!"
A loud slap greeted him, "What are you yelling about? You woke up my grandson! I'll fight you to the death!" Li's father was furious, "Besides, we're his grandparents. Can't we even afford to lose to him?"
Li Shenglin also knew he had acted impulsively, and sat back down on the sofa in a huff, then began to fight for custody of the child.
To be honest, it's a good choice for grandparents to take care of the children, but due to his own past experiences, Li Shenglin stubbornly refused to give in.
Mr. Li and Mrs. Li had no choice but to compromise, and both parties reached the following agreement:
Take the kids to their grandparents' place at least once a week.
Secondly, the child's relatives have the right to visit the child at any time, and Li Shenglin shall not obstruct.
I originally had no opinion on this Li Shenglin, it's normal for grandparents to visit their grandson, then... tragedy struck... his own grandparents, maternal grandparents, uncle, aunt, and that intimidating younger sister Li Cailin were all regular weekly visitors...
Three, before Li Shenglin was able to take care of "Huhu" independently, his mother Hong Youluo also lived here.
Li Shenglin originally wanted to object, but he thought about it and felt that he really couldn't do anything about it at the moment, or else he wouldn't have called his mom to report back, so he gritted his teeth and accepted it.
......
Before he knew it, a month had passed and Li Shenglin was finally able to take care of the child on his own. He saw off his reluctant mother and the whole world was finally quiet.
Relatives all have their own things, unlike at the beginning, almost every day came to see Xiao Huhu. Cigarettes were also forced to quit by his mother, saying it was bad for children, he endured; personal hygiene washed bath at least twice a day, because men are made of mud... Mom, you've read too much "Dream of Red Mansions"...
I thought life would go on quietly, but a long-awaited and familiar yet strange phone call broke this tranquility...
