Chapter 17: In Su's mother's eyes, Huo Shengnian is dirty, smelly, and not good-looking



When he first met Huo Shengnian, Father Su was amazed by his appearance and gave him 12 points out of 10.

Later, when he learned that Huo Shengnian was disabled, although he got a perfect score of 10, Su's father mentally gave him a failing grade.

Next, Huo Shengnian used his conversation to slowly turn failing into passing, and even to excellent. Su's father finally gave his son-in-law Huo Shengnian a high score of 8.8.

Su Ruowan knew Su's father, so she naturally knew that Su's father was very satisfied with Huo Shengnian.

Su Ruowan was very happy that Huo Shengnian was able to pass Su's father's test so smoothly.

Among the Su family, she only cares about Father Su.

Similarly, only Su's father would worry about whether she would marry well and whether the person she married was worthy of her entrusting her life to.

When Su's mother learned that she did not get a marriage certificate with Xie Qinghui but with someone else, she didn't even ask the man's name. She just asked Huo Shengnian to continue paying the betrothal gift according to Fengcheng's standards. She didn't say anything else or express any emotion.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Su's father's cell phone rang. It was Su's mother calling, asking him when he would be back.

"I'll be back soon." Father Su said and hung up the phone.

"Dad, I'll take you there." Su Ruowan stood up and said.

"No need, Dad isn't drunk, he can take a taxi by himself." Father Su declined politely. He was not a father who liked to trouble his children.

"I called Feng Yu, he will be here soon." Huo Shengnian followed them to the door with his crutches.

"Who is Feng Yu?"

"He hired a driver." Su Ruowan explained for Huo Shengnian, then turned to Huo Shengnian and said, "Let's not trouble Feng Yu. He's already off work, and asking him to work overtime is not a good idea."

Su Ruowan is also a worker, so she doesn't like to trouble Feng Yu, who is also a worker.

Before, when she was doing various temporary jobs, what she feared most was that her boss would suddenly ask her to work overtime.

"It doesn't matter. They are both on call 24 hours a day."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Yu arrived.

Seeing that the person came so quickly, Su Ruowan had no choice but to say nothing.

"Then Feng Yu and I will send my dad home safely and then come back. We may be late. Call me if you have anything." Su Ruowan turned her head and instructed Huo Shengnian.

"Well, don't worry, Ling Yue is here. I will find him if I really need anything."

"Well, those dishes are in the sink. I'll wash them when I get back."

"good."

Huo Shengnian sent the three of them into the elevator before turning back.

Father Su said that he was not drunk, but he had just drunk too much and his face was red. Su Ruowan was worried about him and supported him.

After getting in the car, she helped Su's father sit in the back seat and asked Fengyu to drive towards Maoer Hutong.

"Yes, ma'am."

The car was still halfway on the road when the impatient mother Su called again. Father Su had fallen asleep at this time, leaning against the car window and snoring.

Grunting.

Su Ruowan answered the phone for him, "Mom, I'll drop Dad off at the alley entrance in about ten minutes. He had a few drinks with me and fell asleep in the car."

"I said he didn't go home after get off work, it turns out he went to drink with you. So you have already had dinner, right?" Su's mother felt relieved when she heard Su Ruowan's voice.

"Well, I have. Have you eaten yet?"

"I just ate some leftovers and saved some for your dad. Since he's already eaten, I won't leave any for him. What did you guys eat?"

"Tomato and egg noodles."

"Tsk, Wanwan, you're such a fool! Your dad has worked so hard to raise you. And you treat him to this?"

"Dad is on vacation tomorrow, and Huo Shengnian and I both have time, so let's go to a restaurant as a family for a big dinner tomorrow."

When Su's mother heard that they would go out to eat together tomorrow, did that mean she could talk about the betrothal gift with Su Ruowan's husband?

Hehe, that’s okay.

"Okay, it's a good thing you told me earlier. I won't buy groceries tomorrow." Mother Su hung up the phone happily.

“…”

As we got closer to Maoer Hutong, the scenery on both sides of the road became more and more familiar.

Su Ruowan has lived here for more than 20 years and has a particularly deep memory of it.

I have a lot of feelings.

"Madam, we're here." Feng Yu's call brought Su Ruowan out of the long river of memories of the past.

"Well, Fengyu, please help me support my dad."

"Yes, ma'am."

After Feng Yu got off the car, he carried Su's father, who was sleeping so soundly that he couldn't be woken up, on his back.

Su Ruowan was worried that Su's father was too heavy and that he would be tired, so she asked him to put Su's father down. She tried to call out again, hoping that maybe he would wake him up in a while.

Feng Yu shook his head, "It's okay, Madam, you lead the way, I'll just carry Mr. Su on my back."

He had carried things that were many times heavier than Su's father's weight before, so carrying Su's father's small physique was no problem for him. After all, he was a martial artist and had practiced martial arts before.

"...Okay, thank you." Seeing Feng Yu insist, Su Ruowan was no longer polite to him.

Leading the way, she turned her head to look at Feng Yu from time to time and found that although he was quite thin, he really didn't seem to be out of breath at all after carrying Su's father for such a long distance.

His physique is too good.

This kind of person is either born with strong physical fitness, or...

He has practiced boxing and kicking.

No matter what the situation was, Su Ruowan didn't think too much about it. After all, he was someone close to Huo Shengnian. She and Huo Shengnian had obtained a marriage certificate, and Huo Shengnian was Grandma Liu's grandson. She trusted him very much now.

Huo Shengnian became blind due to a car accident, so it makes sense for him to find someone who has practiced martial arts to be his driver and bodyguard. If there is an emergency, Feng Yu can guarantee his personal safety.

Logically, there is nothing wrong with it.

Arriving at the Su family's house, Su's mother smelled the strong smell of alcohol on Su's father and started to curse. Seeing that Su Ruowan had hired someone to carry Su's father back, she curled her lips and said, "You hired a coolie, you pay for the wages."

Su Ruowan was speechless.

Feng Yu is helping out of kindness, he is not a laborer.

"Don't worry, Mom, I won't let you spend any money."

"Where did you two drink?" Su asked again, as long as she didn't have to pay.

"My home." Su Ruowan did not lie. She knew that Su's mother would definitely wait until she left, and then take advantage of Su's father being drunk to wake him up and interrogate him.

Father Su is not good at lying. If she said she was drinking outside and Father Su said he was drinking at her house, wouldn’t that make sense?

Su's mother is a suspicious person by nature. She will definitely be suspicious and curious about where she lives now. Otherwise, why would she not tell her directly?

After Su Ruowan frankly said that she drank wine at her house, Su's mother lost interest in asking further questions.

Su Ruowan couldn't even take her father out to a restaurant for a meal or a drink, which meant the man she married was also stingy.

Must be very poor.

Otherwise, Su Ruowan would not have said such words that day, not to mention that the other party was a blind disabled person.

In Su's mother's eyes, the owner of a massage parlor for the blind is no different from those dirty and messy massage parlors in their alley. Moreover, the blind owners there have dirty and smelly clothes and are not good-looking.

Su's mother curled her lips in disgust. This Su Ruowan is really not picky.
