Su Niannian finally remembered why she felt Xiangshan looked familiar.
If I remember correctly, Gao Xianlan's adoptive mother lived in this place. Because she had a weak relationship with her adopted daughter, she didn't even get the protection of the Jin family. After she became paralyzed, she was sent to Xiangshan Apartment and was cared for by a special person. Jin Chuan only came to visit during the holidays. I'm afraid the only one who really felt sorry for this old woman was Jin Lou, who was raised by her.
After not seeing him for a while, he seemed to be thinner.
Jiang Xiaofei and Jin Lou exchanged a few words of greeting, but when that burning gaze fell on Su Niannian's face, she couldn't ignore it, so she could only bite the bullet and ask, "Did Jin Chuan abuse you? Why have you lost so much weight?"
This ordinary expression of concern made Jin Lou smile. His brows were filled with satisfaction, and he said in a gentle voice, "Are you doing volunteer work? I'll come to help later."
Without even waiting for Su Niannian and the others to refuse, after Jin Lou finished his work, he actually cooperated with them to take care of every elderly person in the nursing home, including moving things, cleaning and other heavy work, which he took over one by one. When leaving, even Jiang Xiaofei with a cold face said thank you to him.
Throughout the whole day, even though Su Niannian wanted to keep a distance from Jin Lou, she still talked a lot to her because of work. Watching them get on the bus and leave, Jin Lou was physically and mentally exhausted, but his eyes were full of satisfaction.
As a result, the time of returning home is much later than before.
Gao Xianlan was very unhappy. She waited at the door of her house. Seeing her son coming back late, she said unhappily, "If I hadn't thought about the many opportunities in the capital, I would never have brought you here. Come now. Why do you want to go to Xiangshan to take care of that old guy? Aren't you afraid of bad luck? I heard that many female comrades are doing volunteer work in Xiangshan today. You..."
I was afraid that Gao Xianlan would ask about Su Niannian in the next second.
Jin Lou was silent for a moment and chose to take the initiative.
"Yes, I did meet someone I know, someone you know, the girl from the Chen family, Chen Ye."
She had heard that her son had been hanging out with a little girl all day, Chen Ye?! The little girl who followed Chen Niannian around. Her son was not the type to help without any reason. Gao Xianlan was worried about not being able to find a suitable partner. If she really wanted to find someone who was penniless, she would not give up her dignity.
Just as she was feeling sleepy, someone brought her a pillow. For a moment, she didn't bother to ask her son for other details and hurried back to the house.
Jin Lou, who thought he had solved the problem, did not expect that new troubles would follow.
It is unknown how Gao Xianlan found the Chen family in Heilongjiang Province and wanted to arrange marriage between Chen Ye and him. What made Jin Lou despair was that Chen Ye, as the person involved, actually agreed to this marriage after knowing that he would not live for many years. It was simply absurd. In order to avoid embarrassment, Jin Lou specifically told his mother that only he and Chen Ye would come to the blind date and no one else should come.
In the Hongfang Restaurant, Chen Ye and Jin Lou sat face to face. An awkward atmosphere was spreading, and finally it was Chen Ye who broke the silence.
She took the initiative to pour water for Jin Lou: "Brother Jin, if you have any requests, please tell me."
"..."
Jin Lou suddenly felt a headache: "Why did you agree to the marriage?"
Who would be willing to marry a dying man?
Chen Ye's smile paused for a moment, and she calmly replied, "Then I'll get straight to the point. It has nothing to do with love. Don't worry, Brother Jin, I don't have any improper thoughts about you. The main reason I agreed to this marriage is because Aunt Gao gave too much.
You don't know that ever since my aunt and her family were sent down to the countryside, our branch of the Chen family has been living on thin ice in Heilongjiang Province, fearing that the axe of fate would fall on our heads one day. In this situation, marrying into your Jin family is like finding a protective umbrella. I know you only have my cousin in your heart, and from your performance yesterday, you haven't let her go.
I am willing to cooperate with you. After we get married, if you want to have children, you can have them. If you don't want to have children, then we won't have them. With this relationship with me, you can at least get close to my cousin openly, and you can use me as you please."
It has nothing to do with love, it has only to do with interests.
The little girl who only knew how to follow him and Su Niannian to ask for candy, actually came to him one day to discuss marriage for the sake of profit, and priced herself like a commodity.
Jin Lou had mixed feelings.
Chen Ye's proposal was obviously very tempting, but Jin Lou finally refused: "Sorry, I can't do it."
"If you need any help, you can seek refuge from Jin Chuan in my name. Comrade Chen Ye, in my heart, you will always be like a sister, and it is only natural for me to take care of you.
You are still young and will meet someone better. Don't use your marriage to make any exchange for the family. If possible, I hope you can refuse this marriage and refuse to live with a useless person like me. I will be very grateful to you. "Jin Lou smiled and waved for the waiter to come over to settle the bill.
There was a sickly blue tint in his eyes, and it was obvious that he had not rested well.
In the end, he thoughtfully left Chen Ye with Jin Chuan's contact information. This guy was as good as when he was a child. For a moment, Chen Ye really wanted to continue his bloodline. When the other party stood up, she couldn't help but blurt out: "Does my cousin know that you are sick?!"
"She doesn't need to know."
Jin Lou left without looking back.
The back figure is desolate, carrying with it an endless loneliness.
…
Su Laoer arrived a week earlier than expected. Su Niannian went to the train station to pick him up in person. Su Laoer explained that there was not much work to do in the fields anyway, and he was just sitting around in Xiangyang Village, so he might as well come and help take care of Fubao.
Wang Guifen scolded Su Niannian harshly at home for most of the night, but in the end, she still asked Su Niannian to remember to pick up this stupid son who was not doing well.
When Su Laoer first arrived in the imperial capital, he found everything curious.
They took a jeep back to their family compound. On the way, when they passed the supply and marketing cooperative, Su Laoer couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Oh my god, you guys really don't have a shortage of food?! Some families in our village have even started to chew on tree bark..."
