Xia Hongju looked at Su Yuhe speechlessly: "My dear sister, you really are 'only focused on reading the sages' books, and you don't pay attention to the outside world'! Xia Changhui is a classmate of ours."
Su Yuhe smiled dryly.
Xia Hongju suddenly lowered her voice: "At the beginning of the school year, Xia Changhui and Dong Yuehua were running for the life committee member, and in the end, Xia Changhui was elected."
Su Yuhe didn't expect there would be such a thing inside, and her eyebrows were filled with surprise: "Really?"
Xia Hongju nodded vigorously. "You really don't care at all. The head of the department even applied for a scholarship last semester, and that's how Xia Changhui, as the student affairs committee member, got in touch with the head of the department. But it's no wonder. You go home every weekend, and you study all the time. I really envy you. It seems like you have no other worries and can focus on studying wholeheartedly."
Su Yuhe was amused: "What are you talking about? What troubles do you have? Troubles about love?"
Xia Hongju suddenly fell silent: "I never had the chance to tell you, but when I went home this summer, my boyfriend's family proposed marriage."
"So soon?" Su Yuhe was surprised. "Aren't you all studying? Did your parents agree?"
"They do want to agree," Xia Hongju curled her lips, "but when I think about what happened before, I think we should wait a little longer. I don't want to regret it after getting married."
Su Yuhe didn't say anything else, and Xia Hongju wasn't particularly stupid.
Speaking of which, Su Yuhe really didn't know that Dong Yuehua applied for a subsidy.
She remembered that she had a pretty good impression of Dong Yuehua before. After all, she had been an employee, so she shouldn't have to apply for hardship allowance.
Su Yuhe paused and asked, "Did something happen to the director?"
Xia Hongju was puzzled: "Why do you ask?"
Su Yuhe paused, not knowing what to say. She was also afraid that her random guess would cause trouble for Dong Yuehua, so she decided to ask Dong Yuehua again when she had the chance.
Ever since she learned that Dong Yuehua had applied for a subsidy, Su Yuhe has been paying attention to Dong Yuehua unconsciously.
She noticed that when they first entered school, the watch Dong Yuehua was wearing was missing, and she didn't know when she hadn't worn it.
Dong Yuehua’s matter has not been clarified yet, and something happened to Du Yan.
During the weekend, Su Yuhe stayed at home for two days and returned to school full of energy as if she had been refueled.
The dormitory was silent. Su Yuhe saw a half-grown child being held by Du Yan. Du Yan rarely showed her emotions, and her eyes were swollen and red at this moment.
Su Yuhe didn't even have time to put down her bag. She asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Dong Yuehua and Xia Hongju sat nearby with silent expressions on their faces.
Xia Hongju, who was always chattering, stopped talking, and Su Yuhe guessed that the matter was not simple.
She asked again with a sigh: "Don't be silent, who is this?"
Du Yan wiped her eyes and said with a choked voice: "This is my son."
Su Yuhe was surprised but not surprised at the same time. After all, Du Yan was already 27, so it was normal for her to have a child. However, she said, "So why are you crying? Tell me what's wrong, and we can work together to find a solution."
Xia Hongju clenched her fists, her face filled with indignation: "Yuhe, you weren't at school today, so you didn't know. Du Yan's mother-in-law somehow found her way to the school and said Du Yan had abandoned the child. She threw the child here, swearing, and then left."
Evil mothers-in-law are not uncommon. Su Yuhe paused and asked, "Where is the child's father?"
Du Yan hugged her son and said, "It's gone. It was lost when the railway was being built a few years ago. The company gave us compensation, and it's all with my mother-in-law. She must have spent all the money and didn't want to take care of the child anymore, so she sent him here."
"This is too much! How can this not be her grandson?"
Du Yan shook her head slightly: "She has many grandchildren, this one won't make a difference."
Xia Hongju spoke quickly: "But that's not right. You're still in school, how are you going to take care of the child? Are you not going to study anymore?"
It is impossible not to study. Many people want to take the exam but fail!
Su Yuhe said, "Your mother-in-law is so short-sighted! When you graduate, the government will assign you a job and a house. You'll be an employee anyway. If she takes good care of your children, she'll definitely get benefits in the future. Do you think she's jealous of you doing this? How stupid!"
Xia Hongju: "That's right! We told her that Du Yan was going to be a doctor, which is great, but she didn't listen. She even said that Du Yan was going to remarry, so we might as well take the child with her."
Su Yuhe turned to look at Du Yan: "When you went home during the summer vacation, was your mother-in-law like this too?"
Du Yan paused and said, "Actually, she's been like this since I was admitted to university. If I hadn't been teaching in an elementary school and hadn't had the principal's help, she wouldn't have let me take the exam. Later, when I came to school, it was she who held my admission letter. It was also with the principal's help that I was able to come to school. That's why I came to school so early."
I didn’t expect Du Yan’s road to school would be so bumpy.
Su Yuhe grabbed a handful of candy and handed it to the little boy: "What's your name? How old are you? Auntie will treat you to some candy."
The little boy didn't ask for it immediately, but looked up at Du Yan.
Du Yan looked down at him. She had discovered during her summer vacation at home that the food she sent home in the past rarely reached her son's mouth, but was eaten by other cousins.
Because the son was raised by his grandmother, he lived a very humble life.
Du Yan's eyes were filled with tears. "Take it. Say thank you to Auntie, and answer her questions."
The little boy reached out and grabbed the candy: "Thank you, Auntie. My name is Yangyang, and I'm eight years old."
Xia Hongju suddenly smiled: "Hey, I have cookies here too."
She handed it over: "But you can't call me aunt, you have to call me sister."
Dong Yuehua also took out some food and asked Yangyang to call her sister.
Su Yuhe was not bothered by this title. She was a mother, so she had no problem with other children calling her auntie.
Because of this little candy incident, the atmosphere in the dormitory became much more relaxed.
But no matter how relaxed we are, the problem is not solved yet.
Su Yuhe asked, "What about Yangyang? Is there anyone from your family to help take care of him?"
Du Yan felt uncomfortable talking about this and shook her head: "I broke off contact with my parents a long time ago. It brings tears to my eyes when I talk about it. I don't know what to do now. Yangyang is still so young, and I don't have a house in the capital."
Dong Yuehua looked at Su Yuhe: "Yuhe, your family is from the capital, do you have any ideas?"
Su Yuhe had no choice. Her son was being taken care of by her own mother, and her in-laws Ye Yunshu and others had not had the chance to take him in yet.
When Du Yan heard Dong Yuehua say this, she looked at Su Yuhe with great anticipation.
Su Yuhe shook her head slightly. "There's nothing we can do about it. Without a house, there's nowhere to live in the capital. Except for the locals, everyone else gets housing allocated by their work units. You can only settle down if you have a place to stay. Why don't you try to find a house to rent near the school?"
Su Yuhe glanced at Yangyang: "Yangyang, at this age, you should be going to school, right? Going to school is a big deal."
Dong Yuehua and her friends don’t have children, but they know that going to school is important. However, they are students from other places and cannot help.
