The autumn morning light shines into the hall.
The inner hall of the Chu family courtyard, which had not been opened for several years, was filled with sunlight today.
The autumn wind swept through the cattails in the cracks of the tile roof, and the rustling sound made the hall seem even quieter.
An old man with white hair was sitting on an old wooden chair, concentrating on wiping the photo frame in his hand.
Black and white photo.
The old woman's smile in the photo is still as gentle and kind as she remembered.
In a trance, the old man seemed to see his wife smiling and scolding him, asking him whether he had eaten on time recently, whether he had taken a walk after dinner, and whether his clothes fit him well...
In fact, the daughter-in-law cleans the place every day, and the photo frame is spotless. Seeing the old man still groping for the frame, it seems as if he first met the old woman decades ago.
Sun Suyun brought a cup of hot tea, and the elderly Chu Yuehe smiled and nodded to his daughter-in-law.
Although the Chu family's current situation seems bad, Chu Yuehe still feels comforted in his heart. After all, the character of his family members are all good.
He is a decent and easy-going person, his wife is gentle and sensible, his daughter-in-law is well-educated and well-mannered, and his granddaughter is smart and beautiful - except for his rebellious son whom he misjudged!
If it weren't for the evil creature that I gave birth to, how could my whole family have lived this kind of life?
The teacup that Sun Suyun used to make tea was still the one that Chu Yuehe loved the most back then. It was obvious that his daughter-in-law was also smart. She knew how to hide the things she liked so that they were not taken away and smashed.
"Well, Ayun, this tea is good!"
"Father is right. Only you can appreciate the taste. I don't think it's any different from the ones sold in stores."
Chu Yuehe smiled and gently put down the tea lid.
"Is this a gift from Nannan's fiancé?"
Sun Suyun sighed with emotion.
"Xiao Zhang is a good boy. He has brought many gifts here, but he has kept them quiet and unassuming. Now he is just waiting for you, Father, to take a look at them."
Chu Yuehe smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Nannan is older now, so naturally she has her own ideas."
"Although she's the youngest in our family, she's probably the best at judging people."
After hearing what her father-in-law said, Sun Suyun's tone froze for a moment.
When Chu Dingguo's personality changed drastically, the first person to notice something was wrong was Nannan.
Unfortunately, neither she nor her father-in-law believed the words of a teenage girl at first.
The main reason is that Chu Dingguo's performance in the previous decades was too upright and deceptive.
Even his father and his partner were kept in the dark, and no one saw his true temper.
Sun Suyun's expression was filled with a hint of resentment, and her look began to become dazed. This was also the inherent emotion that would emerge every time she thought of her husband.
Chu Yuehe stood up and carefully hung his wife's portrait back on the wall.
He looked at the portrait in silence for a while, then suddenly turned to look at his daughter-in-law.
"Ayun, when Dingguo escaped, do you remember if he said anything special?"
Sun Suyun shook her head subconsciously. Her father-in-law had asked her this question countless times over the years, and she was a little numb to answering it.
Until now, she didn't even want to think about the last night she spent with that person.
Chu Yuehe did not continue to ask.
But the doubts in his heart became more and more intense.
Although he was notified of being demoted this time, he was later transferred to a special farm for transformation.
But the experienced Chu Yuehe could see the difference between himself and other transformers.
Although some of this was due to the secret help from an old acquaintance, the guards at the secret farm were too polite to him.
There are several experts of the same level as him living with him, but their treatment and workload are far higher than his.
Especially since I have to be sent on a business trip for about half a month every month.
Although the medical records did not contain the specific names of the patients, only code names, Chu Yuehe still guessed that the identities of those patients were not simple.
Is this the trust I can have as the father of a foreign sinner?
The most reasonable explanation can only be the result that he couldn't believe.
Some people above are using this method to remind themselves... that the affairs of their Chu family, that is, Chu Dingguo, may not be that simple.
If Chu Yuehe's inference was correct, he didn't know how he would face his daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
"Ayun, how did Nannan get to Northeast China back then?"
"Although there is Dingguo's matter, Nannan is an only child after all..."
When Sun Suyun heard her father-in-law mention his daughter, she finally broke free from her emotions.
"You also know that Nannan's appearance is first-class, and her temperament used to be a bit arrogant."
"After you left, a new deputy director came to our street."
"The boy from his family fell in love with our daughter at first sight and kept pestering her."
"Nannan was afraid that I would worry, so she didn't tell me before."
"It just so happened that our family was in financial difficulty at the time, and my mother and I mostly relied on Dingguo's former colleagues for help."
"That person had been keeping an eye on Nannan. He discovered that Dingguo's friends were secretly helping our family, so he used this to threaten Nannan."
"Nannan didn't want to bring trouble to her uncles, so she signed up to go to the countryside. She heard that as long as you work hard in the countryside, you can at least fill your stomach."
"I thought that without her as a burden, the little salary I got would be enough for me to live on my own."
"She kept it a secret from me until three days before she left."
"Originally, Nannan was supposed to go to the countryside in this province, but those people played tricks on her and sent her to the Northeast. They even added a huge mark to her file."
