After dinner in the evening, Lin Jianguo called Lin Shu into his room.
He stared at Lin Shu for a few seconds, and finally, his expression looked as if he had made some important decision.
Lin Shu showed doubts on his face, but he had some guesses in his heart.
Sure enough, Lin Jianguo said solemnly: "I didn't want to tell you this, but it's unfair to your biological parents." As he said that, he turned around and took out a cloth bag containing something from the bottom of the box.
Then he opened the cloth bag and took out an old diary and several envelopes, and took out two portraits from an envelope.
He handed the photo to Lin Shu and said, "This is your biological father and mother."
Lin Shu pretended to be excited and surprised, and spoke incoherently: "I, I don't believe it."
"This is true." Lin Jianguo sighed, his tone heavy, "I know this will hurt you, but..."
After a moment, Lin Shu slowly reached out to take the photo and said sorry in his heart.
She couldn't let him know that she had known since birth that she was not their biological child. She couldn't explain it.
Lin Shu stared at Cun Zhao for a while before asking in a low voice, "What about my biological parents..."
"Your mother is my biological sister." Lin Jianguo, with a sad face, slowly told Lin Shu what happened that year.
This is a cliché love story.
Lin Zhi, a girl from a well-off family, innocent and romantic, who is Lin Shu's biological mother, fell in love with a poor boy who lost his parents when he was young and grew up relying on relatives for support. He is Lin Shu's biological father, Zhou Chuanxiong.
Of course, Linzhi's parents did not agree with their daughter being with a poor boy.
But he couldn't resist his daughter's nagging and agreed that as long as the young man could make a career within two years, he would let them be together.
How can a poor young man with no foundation build a career in such a short time?
After much deliberation, the young man decided to join the army.
Unexpectedly, the young man disappeared after joining the army, leaving Linzhi behind who became pregnant from eating the forbidden fruit.
At that time, getting pregnant before marriage was a taboo.
When Linzhi's parents found out, they were furious and wanted her to abort the baby.
However, Linzhi refused to agree, she believed that the young man would come back to find her.
Linzhi's parents sent their daughter to live with their son Lin Jianguo.
Because Lin Jianguo's wife, Li Hongying, was also pregnant at that time, and her pregnancy was about the same date as Lin Zhi's, so they thought that if the young man could not come back in time, the baby in Lin Zhi's belly would be considered as Li Hongying's twins when it was born.
Unexpectedly, there was no news from the young man until Linzhi gave birth, and Linzhi, who had become ill due to worrying about her father, passed away after giving birth to Lin Shu.
And Lin Shu became one of Li Hongying's twin children.
When Lin Shu heard this, his heart ached.
"Where's my dad?" Lin Shu asked, "Has he never been in touch since?"
Lin Jianguo shook his head gravely. "As soon as he joined the army, a large-scale war broke out. Some people said he was in the war... We kept asking around, but there was no news. And he hasn't contacted us until now. Maybe it's true..."
Lin Shu understood what Lin Jianguo meant. Even if he had changed his mind, it was impossible for him to have no news from the beginning. This could only be the worst possible outcome.
Lin Shu's nose felt sore, and his eyes gradually became moist. Perhaps this was what blood relatives were like. Even though he had never met them, just hearing the news made him feel extremely sad.
"And this notebook and these letters are left by your mother before she passed away. Just keep them as a reminder." Lin Jianguo put the diary and letters back into the cloth bag and handed the whole bag to her.
Lin Shu breathed a sigh of relief and took the bag: "Thank you, Dad."
"Hey," Lin Jianguo said with a pleased smile, "I think Xiao Han is a good kid. You should live a good life with him in the future. Of course, you will always be welcome in this family. You will always be my daughter."
Lin Shu couldn't hold back the tears anymore and they rolled down his face.
She was sad for her deceased parents, but also grateful for the selfless love of Lin Jianguo and others.
Lin Shu returned to her room and stared at the cloth bag in a daze. After a long while, she calmed down and went downstairs.
As if noticing something was wrong with her, Han Yan looked at her from time to time with worry in his eyes.
Before returning to her room to sleep, Han Yan saw the opportunity and came over to ask her, "What happened?"
Lin Shu shook his head and smiled at him: "It's okay, I'll tell you when I get back." This matter cannot be explained in a few words.
Han Yan looked at her intently for a few seconds, raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head, as if to make sure that she was really okay before saying, "Then go to bed early."
Lin Shu nodded.
The next day was a sunny day, and the sky was particularly bright because of the heavy rain.
Lin Shu and Han Yan said goodbye to Lin Jianguo and the others.
Because it was too early, Lin Hui and Lin You did not wake them up.
"Dad, Mom, you don't have to send me off. Han Yan and I will go there on our own," Lin Shu said. They had already asked for a day off from work for them. Asking for leave wasn't popular in their workplace these days, so it would be bad to trouble them further.
Lin Jianguo nodded, looked at Han Yan, and instructed: "Take good care of my daughter. I will not forgive you if anything happens to you."
Lin Shu's eyes instantly became moist.
"I will definitely take good care of her." Han Yan promised solemnly.
Lin Shu and Han Yan walked for a while and then looked back, only to find that Lin Jianguo and Li Hongying were still standing there looking at them.
Lin Shu's tears finally flowed.
Han Yan held her hand, his eyes full of heartache: "Let's come back when we have time."
Lin Shu choked up and hummed, then turned and left.
On the way back, Lin Shu was in a bad mood.
Han Yan coaxed her from time to time.
Lin Shu was glad that he was still by her side.
It was not until he returned to the brigade that Lin Shu's mood calmed down.
Lin Shuxian followed Han Yan home.
As soon as I entered the door, Aunt Liang came up to me excitedly: "Are you tired, girl? I look a little thinner. Are you tired from riding in the car?"
Lin Shu laughed: "Auntie, you're not tired."
Han Yan smiled and said, "Mom, go in first."
"Yes, yes, look at me." Aunt Liang took Lin Shu's hand and walked forward, looking at Han Yan and asking, "How is it? Is it going well?"
Han Yan glanced at Lin Shu and nodded: "It went smoothly."
Aunt Liang's face lit up instantly: "As long as it goes well, as long as it goes well."
When they entered the main hall, Han Shan, Han Xin and others were very happy to hear that the trip was successful.
After a while, they began to discuss when the two families would discuss the marriage and when they would hold the wedding banquet.
Seeing their heated discussion, Lin Shu felt a little uncomfortable.
As if noticing her discomfort, Han Yan walked up to her and whispered, "Let me take you home first."
Lin Shu nodded.
The two of them walked out of the house quietly.
