Zhou Weiguang returned two days later, took his family to Guangdelou for a meal, and left that evening, very busy.

Qin Hanshu took some time to buy Zhou Ce a set of imported paintbrushes as a gift to congratulate him on getting into university.

Over the course of a few days, Qin Hanshu and Zhu Jingsu's relationship became even closer than it had been back in the Northwest.

During their casual conversation, Qin Hanshu also asked many questions about her family.

After Zhou Sheng was born, Zhou Chang'an and Zhao Chunmiao visited their grandson once, and otherwise maintained contact entirely through letters.

As the old man grew older, Qin Hanshu would have loved to take the whole family back home if it weren't for Zhou Weiguang's work.

"My parents are in relatively good health, but they are getting old and have some minor ailments."

Qin Hanshu asked, "Are Mom and Dad still living in the production team?"

Zhu Jingsu nodded: "We asked them to move to the city, but they refused, saying they were still able to move around and that it would be more comfortable for them to live in the countryside. So Weili and I didn't force them."

After a pause, Zhu Jingsu said, "Lanhua also moved back home with Lele at the end of last year."

Lele is Zhou Ruilan's daughter, a month younger than Zhou Chi, and is also nine years old.

Qin Hanshu asked in surprise, "Why?"

Zhu Jingsu sighed. "The couple must have had a fight. Didn't you send Lan Hua a red woolen coat last winter?"

Qin Hanshu nodded: "That's right."

Zhu Jingsu said, "Lanhua loved that dress so much that she couldn't bear to wear it herself, but her sister-in-law took a liking to it and, as soon as she asked, Yang Guangyu gave it to her."

Qin Hanshu: "...After all these years, how come you're still the same?"

Zhu Jingsu said with a wry smile, "These kinds of things have happened countless times over the years, I even start to suspect..."

They suspect Yang Guangyu has ulterior motives towards his sister-in-law, and they're on his side.

However, since these words were too outrageous and there was no evidence, Zhu Jingsu couldn't speak recklessly, so he swallowed his words.

"Sigh, before getting married, I was so focused on thinking about Yang's in-laws that I never imagined that in the end, it would be the man I would spend my life with who would make Lanhua suffer."

"After Lan Hua moved back home, Yang Guangyu did visit a few times, adopting a very humble attitude, but Lan Hua wouldn't even glance at him. I guess she was thinking..."

Zhu Jingsu shook his head.

If a woman stays at her parents' home for more than half a year, her marriage is probably in grave danger.
