Su's father pretended not to see it and continued drinking his soy milk.
Guo Xuqing knew that this matter could not wait any longer, as many people in the family compound already knew that Nannan had a boyfriend.
If this gets out from someone else, her husband will definitely explode; what's bound to happen eventually will happen.
"Linzi, Mom wants to talk to you about something." Guo Xuqing swallowed the tasteless fried dough stick in her mouth and prepared to honestly tell her son.
Su Lin felt a pang of unease when she saw her mother's guilty expression.
Is he going to be set up on another blind date? No, wait a minute, if it's about blind dates, his mom would just scold him for being useless. What's he feeling guilty about?
"Mom, you didn't hide it from me and bring home a wife for me, did you?" Su Lin suddenly stood up.
His mother was a very energetic and outgoing person all her life; this is something she was capable of doing.
"No, not really, but it's pretty much the same." Guo Xuqing thought of her daughter-in-law and glared at him impatiently.
"No, Mom, I need to submit a report before I get married. If you bring someone back, I won't acknowledge them." Su Lin didn't understand what his mother was saying at all.
He doesn't want to get married; all he wants now is to climb the social ladder and quickly support his family.
"What are you thinking? I don't care about you. You can look for someone or not, it's up to you. Who would want to be with someone like you? You're ugly and dark-skinned, much worse than your sister."
Guo Xuqing was still thinking about what to say, but his interruption made her start nitpicking again.
"That's good. Why would a grown man like me need to be so good-looking? My sister is good-looking, that's enough. Speaking of my sister, has she written to you yet?"
"I don't know what's going on. These past few letters she's written to me have only been a few words long, and she hasn't asked me for money anymore. I hope nothing bad has happened to her."
"Mom, is my sister coming back this year? If she can't, I'm planning to visit her in a couple of days."
Su Lin spoke of his sister with great affection. His sister is very beautiful, and every time he takes out her photo in the army, his comrades envy him.
"Um... Linzi, your sister isn't living in the countryside anymore." Since it was a lose-lose situation anyway, Guo Xuqing decided to give him a quick death.
"Your sister got married!" After Guo Xuqing finished speaking, the room fell silent.
"Mom? What did you just say? I think there's something wrong with my ears." Su Lin felt it must be a lingering effect from his battlefield injury.
He was deaf, otherwise how could he have heard the words "his sister's wedding"?
What a joke! His sister is so young, how could she possibly be getting married?
"Linzi, you heard right, your sister got married. We've met her husband, and he's a good man." Guo Xuqing thought that since she had already said it, she might as well be open and explain in detail.
"Why get married? How old is she? You might as well find me someone without my consent." Su Lin was just worried that his mother would arrange his marriage.
Now I feel it's more of his problem than his, why is it his sister's?
Su Lin stood up, furious. They had kept such a big thing as his sister's wedding a secret from him.
"Linzi, we were also surprised to hear that your sister got married in the countryside. I was going to tell you, but you were on a mission at the time."
“I couldn’t get in touch with you either. And your sister is sensible and doesn’t want to distract you, so I was thinking of finding another opportunity to talk to you later.”
"A lot of things happened later, and I was very busy at home. Every time I wanted to contact you, you were away on a mission, so we just missed each other."
“You’re my daughter’s own brother, how could I keep it from you? But when I saw your telegram saying you were coming back for the New Year, I thought I might as well tell you in person.”
"Your sister's situation is rather complicated and can't be explained in just a few words. See, as soon as you got back, I immediately told you about it."
Even though Guo Xuqing felt guilty, she knew she couldn't tell the truth now, otherwise her husband would definitely come all the way to Beijing.
Nannan and her family have just arrived in Beijing and don't know what it's like there yet. She heard that the old woman there has some mental issues.
If her son goes and causes trouble, wouldn't he be handing his weakness over to someone else?
"Mom, tell me, what exactly happened to my sister?" Su Lin took a few deep breaths and saw his father sitting calmly.
His sister must be alright, otherwise his dad would be even crazier than him.
"Your sister..." Guo Xuqing saw that her son was obviously suppressing his anger, so she hurriedly explained in detail how Nannan was schemed against by Su Nianyou in the countryside, how she realized what was happening, and how she married Baichuan.
Of course, Suti also benefited from the misfortune, finding a man she could entrust her life to.
Guo Xuqing, the mother-in-law, found her son-in-law increasingly pleasing to the eye and spoke highly of Li Baichuan.
"Hmph, has Su Nianyou eaten a leopard's gall? She schemed against her sister like that and just let it go?"
"What's this about turning misfortune into blessing? What kind of blessing is it for my sister to marry into the countryside? No matter how good she is, she's still a country bumpkin!"
Su Lin was both angry that Su Nianyou dared to scheme against his sister, and also felt that his mother was praising that country bumpkin too much.
In his opinion, no matter how good she was, she was not good enough for his sister.
"What do you mean by 'country bumpkin'? Who taught you that? Your ancestors were from the countryside, so there's something wrong with your thinking."
"And Baichuan isn't some country bumpkin; he's Marshal Li's grandson."
Guo Xuqing gave her son a stern lecture, and when his arrogance subsided, she dropped another bombshell.
"Mom, what do you mean by that?" Su Lin was taken aback. Everyone in the military knew the name Marshal Li.
The old marshal is now a national treasure in Beijing. Could he have made a mistake? Was that man also an educated youth sent to the countryside?
Guo Xuqing didn't let her son rush, and explained Baichuan's identity again.
"Look at all these things, I wanted to tell you but it's too complicated to explain in a short time, and it would distract you, so I decided to come back and tell you."
Guo Xuqing's mouth was dry from talking, so he quickly took a sip of soy milk.
"Mom, is my sister in Beijing now?" Su Lin was dumbfounded, experiencing a range of emotions from anger to frustration to surprise.
"Yes, how could we not go back? The old marshal came in person as soon as he learned the truth, and later Baichuan's father came to pick him up."
“They just went back a few days ago, and I guess they’re busy. I’m planning to call them in the next couple of days to ask.”
Guo Xuqing could understand his son's surprised expression.
"I know you're reluctant to part with your sister, but things are fine as they are now. Putting everything else aside, your sister likes Baichuan, and you, as her older brother, want to stop her? Aren't you going to make your little sister sad?"
"Not to mention that Baichuan was already an outstanding child, and now that he no longer has the disadvantage of his identity, we have even less to say."
"And your sister is pregnant, you're going to be an uncle, aren't you happy?"
Guo Xuqing saw that Su Lin had gradually calmed down, and then dropped another bombshell.
