Once upon a time, that little politeness still vaguely remembered his childhood scene - whenever he curiously asked about his father's whereabouts, his mother He Haiyan would always seem a little difficult to speak, and her eyes would become dim.
However, the other elders in the family also chose to avoid talking about this topic, and only shook their heads helplessly and remained silent.
As time passes, as Bin Bin grows into adulthood, he gradually realizes that there seems to be a little-known secret hidden in his home, and this secret seems to be inextricably linked to his long-vanished father, Zou Weizhu.
Whenever someone inadvertently mentioned Zou Weizhu's name, Binbin always tried his best to remain calm, trying to hide the pain in his heart, however, tears always welled up in his eyes and slowly flowed down his young cheeks.
As a son, Binbin has never truly felt the warmth of his father's love. From the moment he had a memory, Zou Weizhu never appeared in his home.
He couldn't help but wonder what kind of man his father was, why he had been absent for so long, turning a deaf ear to the calls of his family? These questions lingered like a fog in his innocent heart, but he could not find an answer.
In order to protect Binbin, the family tried to avoid mentioning his father's name in front of him, for fear that if they accidentally touched this sensitive topic, it would cause the child's mood swings again.
Binbin's feelings for Zou Weizhu are both love and hate, resentment and pain, but he has nowhere to confide.
However, Zou Weizhu's years-long absence undoubtedly left a deep scar on his son's heart. Today, He Haiyan, who is 38 years old, is in the golden stage of her life.
It was supposed to be a time of family fun, but she was under tremendous pressure from life.
Since finding a job at a local supermarket, He Haiyan has only received a meager salary every month, only a meagre amount of more than 1,000 yuan. Faced with the need to take care of two parents who were bedridden and unable to take care of themselves, and a young son who had to be raised, she had to take on the multiple responsibilities of her daughter, wife and mother on her own.
In the cramped rental house they rented, there was always a sad atmosphere. The gloomy and cramped environment tells the hardships of He Haiyan's life.
Families that were once full of laughter and laughter are now torn apart.
What hurts He Haiyan's heart the most is her son Binbin's desire for his father. This child, since the day he was born, has never seen Zou Weizhu again.
Whether it was shopping, playing in the amusement park, or watching a movie, Zou Weizhu never accompanied him.
As a mother who is deeply in pain, He Haiyan's heart is as painful as if she has suffered from ten thousand swords piercing her heart. She deeply understands the crucial role that fathers play in their children's upbringing.
However, no matter how hard she cared about it, Zou Weizhu still turned a blind eye to their mother and son, as if their existence had been forgotten by him in some corner of his life.
Just when He Haiyan was taking on the responsibility of the family alone, Zou Weizhu had already run away from home, his career was thriving, and his money was piling up.
This former couple is not a stranger to the prodigal son, but a childhood sweetheart who has known each other since childhood. They spent 13 springs, autumns, winters and summers together, but now, Zou Weizhu returned to his hometown with his new wife Shi Mingchun and his own flesh and blood, but he didn't know about He Haiyan and her children.
When He Haiyan inadvertently learned this chilling news from a friend, her whole world seemed to collapse in an instant.
Everything goes back to that moment in 2011. That year, Zou Weizhu took advantage of a system loophole to secretly register his marriage with Shi Mingchun in his hometown of Shaoyang.
Due to the failure to enter the file information in time, he successfully concealed his marital status with He Haiyan, and the premise of all this was that Zou Weizhu had long been strangers to He Haiyan.
For many years, there has been little contact between the husband and wife, and the relationship has long since broken down. Zou Weizhu tried to negotiate a divorce with He Haiyan, but she refused each time.
Therefore, he chose a path that violated the law and married Shi Mingchun again.
Although on the surface, Zou Weizhu can be called a successful career with a graduate degree and a high-paying position. However, it is ridiculous and shameful that he can treat his wife and son so ruthlessly and unjustly, and do such a hurtful thing.
If the love between Zou Weizhu and He Haiyan was once a good story that everyone envied, then everything that has happened now has undoubtedly completely destroyed this relationship.
They are of the same age, childhood sweethearts, and have known each other since childhood. At that time, Zou Weizhu had a positive personality, simple and kind, and was deeply loved by his classmates.
And He Haiyan is the "study committee" in the class, and the two can be described as the "champion" and "beautiful girl" in the scholarly family.
After graduating from high school, they each stepped into different campuses, and Zou Weizhu's deep friendship with He Haiyan began to gradually show.
Every time after school, he can always be seen silently stepping into He Haiyan's house alone, quietly flipping through books there, deposited in that deep love.
In his college career, Zou Weizhu has always unremittingly used the pen and ink in his hand to pour out his heartfelt feelings to He Haiyan through letters, and the emotional flame between them burned brightly.
Finally, at the moment when he was about to graduate, Zou Weizhu mustered up the courage to formally propose to He Haiyan, and got her affirmative answer without any suspense.
Only a year later, they walked hand in hand into the sacred hall of marriage and fulfilled the beautiful vows of their childhood.
At that time, He Haiyan received warm blessings from the whole village. Because Zou Weizhu is a well-known "champion lang", and she is a rare "village flower".
With such a match made in heaven, the days after marriage will be happy.
However, no one expected that behind this sweet marriage, Zou Weizhu disappeared for several years and never returned to his hometown. What's even more bizarre is that when his career was in full swing, he actually concealed the fact that he was married.
The simple and kind "Zhuangyuanlang" in the past has become a modern version of "Chen Shimei".
Faced with his wife's doubts, Zou Weizhu first admitted that he had made a serious mistake. Due to his lack of legal knowledge, he once believed the rumors on the Internet about "the automatic dissolution of the husband and wife relationship after two years of separation", went astray and registered his marriage with Shi Mingchun.
Faced with his wife's questioning, Zou Weizhu frankly admitted that all this was his fault. Due to his ignorance of legal knowledge, he mistakenly believed the rumor that "the relationship between husband and wife after two years of separation was automatically dissolved", so he embarked on the road of breaking the law and registered his marriage with Shi Mingchun.
However, for many people, such an explanation is really unconvincing. Zou Weizhu is not a person with poor cultural quality, he is a high-achieving student with a master's degree.
It would be ridiculous to say that he was ignorant of such a legal concept as "bigamy".
In the face of many angry crowds of onlookers, Zou Weizhu looked extremely nervous, he kept repeating: "I'm sorry, I really made a mistake, I really know it's wrong......" He was like a down-and-out traveler, frantically looking for He Haiyan, begging for her tolerance, and even did not hesitate to bow his head to He Haiyan in the bustling and noisy streets, under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.
However, at this moment, He Haiyan's heart was already full of trauma, and she only chose to respond coldly to Zou Weizhu's hypocritical apology and conscience condemnation.
In her thoughts, there are more deep thoughts and worries about her son Binbin.
Whether Zou Weizhu's sincere repentance stemmed from an inner awakening or the fear that He Haiyan might take legal action to send her to court, no one knows.
However, there is an expectation to see fairness and justice revealed. Regardless of Zou Weizhu's motives, he must bear corresponding responsibility for his actions.
In the end, He Haiyan firmly decided to take Zou Wei to court, seek sanctions from the court, and demand compensation for moral damages.
