So, before the situation got worse, Song Chen's mother quickly telegraphed him to ask him to come back quickly.

They also told Lin Lu that they would get married after Song Chen came back.

Nowadays, people graduate from school in their twenties. By then, they will be old maids. They can get married and have children first, and then go back to school later. It’s all the same.

But they didn't expect Lin Lu to be so resistant. Her attitude made the two old people wonder if their daughter didn't want them anymore.

This is a big deal. There is a precedent in the village. There was a man who went to study in another province and didn't come back for several years.

This is the only child they have in their life. If she really abandons them, there is no point in living.

Although Lin Lu has said more than once that she would rely on her own strength to let them live a good life, it is not easy for a girl to support a family. Just the gossip alone can kill her.

They also don't want to let their daughter bear such great pressure.

Song Chen is a child who grew up in their care. In addition, because of Lin Cheng's life-saving grace, Song Chen will definitely treat Lin Lu well.

If I miss him and find another man in the future, will he be willing to come to my house? Will he be willing to help the parents of the adopted daughter? Will he always be good to Lin Lu?

For these two people who have been exposed to feudal ideas for decades, the answers are all no.

In this backward place, life is already difficult for women. Finding a good son-in-law is even more difficult, and finding a man who will always treat you well is even more of a pipe dream.

So, why not tie up Song Chen?

Song Chen is a good boy. When asked to come back to get married, he actually took leave and came back.

The disobedient Lin Lu had to be locked up.

She was the one who was imprisoned, and the old couple didn't have a good day either.

She screamed inside and they sat outside crying, and this went on for several days.

He stopped working in the fields and just sat outside every day.

Knowing that my daughter has a hot temper, I'm afraid she might do something bad.

Li Xianglian's eyes were swollen during that period. Her parents and child suddenly became enemies, standing on opposite sides and hostile to each other.

In the end, if Lin Lu hadn't compromised first, they would have compromised too.

For people here, marriage is not just about getting married. The biggest purpose of marriage is to continue the family line.

Therefore, before they told Lin Lu to have a baby quickly, she became pregnant, saving them a lot of effort in inducing labor.

——

The days of those years were like a kaleidoscope, with scenes flashing through the minds of everyone in the Lin family.

Lin Jingbei had already known the secret of his birth, so he no longer felt resentful.

I feel so sorry for my mother, I feel sorry for that little mother who was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

He used to say to his grandparents: "Grandpa and grandma, you are so mean. You bully my mom."

After knowing that the uncles' departure one after another had dealt them a huge blow, he didn't know who to blame.

Song Chen has always understood Lin Lu. He understands her very well, so he has never blamed her. He just hopes to get a little bit of her love.

He held back the tears in his eyes, went back to his room and got a tissue, "Mom and Dad, don't cry, Brother Gu is here, wipe your tears quickly."

Li Xianglian finally realized that she had made a fool of herself: "I'm sorry, Xiao Gu, for letting you hear this."

Gu Yun shook his head and crossed his arms on his knees: "I am the one who offended you. I'm sorry for bringing up your sad story."

They experienced the pain of seeing their loved ones die three times.

Lin Changchun glanced out the window. The moonlight was thin, a thin layer of light that was not enough to illuminate the entire night sky, and the moon was just there, motionless.

"I seem to have forgotten what children look like."

This sentence brought tears to Li Xianglian's eyes again. She blew her nose and cursed in an almost hoarse voice:

"You're going to die! The boss looks like you, with a small dimple on the side of his mouth, single eyelids, and teeth that look like the teeth of a mouse.

The second child looks like me, with a mole above his eyelid, a high nose, and a slightly hunched little finger on his left hand.

The third brother, like Lulu, looks like grandma. He is the most handsome of the brothers, with big eyes, a high nose, and a red mole at the corner of his eye. However, he has no flesh on the sides of his face.

She remembered them clearly; they were all her children. Every day before going to bed she would review her memories, for fear of forgetting them.

Gu Yun apologized again: "I'm so sorry."

Li Xianglian: "There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Xiao Gu, you're too polite. If my third child were still alive, he would have grown up with you.

He's always had good grades and a good temper, making him popular with girls. He might even get into college and marry a beautiful woman after graduation. He used to say he loved his younger sister the most and wanted to have a daughter like her when they grew up.

Lin Lu had an urge to confess the truth to her mother, to tell her that her brother was not dead, he was still alive, he had indeed been admitted to university, joined the army, and now had a daughter who was said to look very much like her.

But nothing has been clarified yet, and speaking out would only add to the sadness.

Lin Lu was puzzled as to why Gu Yun asked this question today. Her intuition told her that he must know news about her brother.

"Abei, grandpa and grandma are a little drunk, can you help them get some rest?"

Lin Jingbei paused holding the chopsticks. He was always smart and listened to his mother. "Okay, Grandma, I'll help you go to bed. We have to get up early tomorrow, and you're a little drunk now."

He sent a few people away directly.

Gu Yun leaned against the back of his chair, very calm, and asked Lin Lu: "What do you want to ask?"

Lin Lu: "Brother Gu, you are Xiaobei's master and someone we respect. I want to ask you if you know anything about my brother."

Gu Yun laughed, with only a slight curve at the corner of his mouth, and it was unclear whether it was sarcasm or happiness.

Song Chen held Lin Lu's hand, gave her a soothing look, and said to Gu Yun, "If Brother Gu knew, we would be happy to exchange with you and tell you what you want to know."

"Oh?" Gu Yun seemed interested.

Sure enough, the next second he said, "Can you tell me about it?"

What do you want to exchange resources with him for?

Song Chen: "It might be something that you guys are looking for, and we just happen to know its whereabouts."

It has been said so clearly, there is no need to explain it again. We are all smart people.

Gu Yun stopped smiling and said, "You're overthinking it. I don't even know who your brother is, let alone his current situation. However, if you need anything, I'm happy to help you."

Song Chen: "Thank you for your kindness. If I have troubled you, please be tolerant."

Gu Yun: "Thank you very much. I really enjoyed tonight's dinner. The cooking is very good. I'll take my leave now."
