Chapter 138

When leaving, Lanhua stared at Xu He's direction reluctantly, looking back every few steps.

Xu He tightened her grip on the chopsticks. Zhang Chunli across from her asked in confusion:

"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"It's OK."

Xu He was busy eating with her head down to hide the slightly red eyes.

Just now...she missed an opportunity to confess.

If she told everything, would Chunlin accept Lanhua?

Xu He didn't know. She felt like she was soaked in a jar of salt water, feeling sour and uncomfortable.

"Don't just eat rice, try some vegetables."

Zhang Chunlin picked up some dishes for Xu He and his eyes fell into deep thought. Fortunately, they finished eating quickly.

Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing accompanied Aunt Zhou and Lanhua to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some things.

The two then sent them back to the dormitory.

As soon as they walked out of the dormitory building, Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing met Zhang Chunlin standing at the gate.

"Comrade, what is their relationship with Comrade Xu He?"

Unlike his younger sister Zhang Chunli, Zhang Chunlin is honest but also a bit shrewd.

He had sensed something was wrong even when he was at the state-owned hotel.

At that time, he said nothing for Xu He's sake.

But he couldn't be a fool, so he asked someone about Xu He's previous residence.

Sure enough, I saw Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing sending people back to the room where Xu He used to live.

Perhaps because he was Zhang Chunli's brother, Tang Wan couldn't bear to lie to him, and she sighed.

"I suggest you have a good talk with Xu He."

"That's Xu He's daughter, right?"

Zhang Chunlin is not stupid. Lanhua and Xu He look somewhat similar. They are either his niece or his daughter.

But if she was a relative's daughter, why didn't she dare to admit it?

So it can only be her daughter.

"Go ask Xu He."

Tang Wan still said, "As an outsider, I can't interfere with the rest."

"I see. Thank you."

Zhang Chunlin stared at the dormitory in front of him in a daze. Lanhua came out of the room. She lay on the railing, staring down in confusion.

At this time, Aunt Zhou came out of the house and pulled the person into the house.

"Wife, let's go back."

Lu Huaijing didn't want to get involved in these things anymore, and thought Xu He would handle it herself.

However, it was such a coincidence that before they left, they saw Xu He walking out from the corner from a distance.

When she saw Zhang Chunlin clearly, her pupils shrank slightly, and the next second she looked suddenly at Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing.

"Didn't you promise me not to talk nonsense?"

"I didn't say anything."

Tang Wan shrugged, "Just don't treat others as fools, as if you are the smartest one."

"They didn't say anything, so I guessed you might be related."

Zhang Chunlin stared at Xu He closely, "I want to hear your explanation."

"Then you guys explain slowly, my wife and I are going back."

Lu Huaijing didn't have time to listen to their arguing. He turned around and rode his bike away with Tang Wan.

Xu He didn't want to do that in front of them, so she just let them go.

In the end, Zhang Chunlin refused. He looked at Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing and said, "Wait.

It doesn't matter if you are here, Xu He, please explain it clearly first, so that you don't try to coax me again, it doesn't hurt to let them hear it."

Tang Wan:!!!

She expressed shock.

She really doesn't have the habit of watching other people being affectionate.

Xu He also found it hard to accept, but Zhang Chunlin insisted. She didn't want to lose such a good marriage.

I could only bite the bullet and say, "Yes, Lanhua is my daughter."

Boom boom...

Zhang Chunlin's brain almost exploded after getting the answer from Xu He in person.

He looked at Xu He with disbelief in his eyes, "Why did you lie to me?"

"sorry."

Xu He said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't mean to lie to you, but I brought Lanhua to a blind date before.

Those people don’t like Lanhua and won’t let me take her with me.”

With tears in her eyes, she said, "But that's my child. I'm actually very heartbroken."

Then she pointed at Lu Huaijing and said, "He was Lanhua's father's comrade-in-arms.

Lanhua’s father was not a bad man. He died in the line of duty, which is glorious.

But I still want to live like a normal person."

"Is that so?"

Although it was hard to believe, Zhang Chunlin still looked at Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing, hoping to get an answer.

"Um."

This time Tang Wan nodded slightly, because what Xu He said was the truth.

After getting her affirmation, Zhang Chunlin stared at Xu He in dismay, obviously unable to bear the blow.

Tang Wan and Lu Huaijing looked at each other, then they quietly left on their bicycles.

This was discovered by Zhang Chunlin himself, and it has nothing to do with them.

As for what happens next, that's up to the two of them to discuss.

On the way back, Tang Wan asked Lu Huaijing, "Lu Huaijing, from your perspective as a man, do you think Zhang Chunlin will forgive her?"

“It’s hard to say.”

It’s really hard for Lu Huaijing to say about this matter, after all, everyone has a different personality.

If it were him, he could actually accept that the person he liked was a martyr's widow, and he could also accept that she had children.

But there are two prerequisites: one is that he likes it, and the other is that the other party is honest.

Obviously Xu He didn't do it.

But they don't understand Zhang Chunlin's personality, so it's hard to say.

"Forget it. We respect the fate of others and don't act as saviors."

Tang Wan chuckled, and after returning to the compound, Lu Huaijing went to return the bicycle first.

When Tang Wan arrived home first, Qin Su and Tang Zhou were having dinner. They were not at home, so the dishes Qin Su cooked were very simple.

It's just a stir-fried chicken with wild vegetables, and the staple food is still a black steamed bun.

"Sister, are you back?"

Tang Zhou looked up listlessly, "Lanhua is back home?"

It’s good to be used to eating like my sister. It’s easy to go from being frugal to being extravagant, but it’s hard to go from being extravagant to being frugal.

"Well, this is what you guys eat?"

Tang Wan helplessly took out an aluminum lunch box from her bag, "Lanhua, remember to pack a meal for her brother Zhou."

"Wow, there's meat."

Tang Zhou narrowed his eyes excitedly, and his eyes sparkled when he saw the meat in the aluminum lunch box.

Qin Su didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and glared at Tang Wan again, "Don't get too used to him."

"Mom, Zhou Zhou is growing stronger, so it's okay to eat something good."

Tang Wan washed her hands, but she was full, so she didn't eat.

At the dinner table, Qin Su asked her, "How is Lanhua's matter?"

"Just as we agreed before, she and grandma."

Tang Wan was chewing a cucumber. "But now this matter is mysterious. That man knew that her mother gave birth to Lanhua."

"ah"

Qin Su was very gossipy. "Tell me quickly."

"It's just..."

Tang Wan recounted the whole story in detail, "He's very smart, and he's not a fool.

You can't lie to people forever, they will know it sooner or later."

"That's true. There is actually a difference between women who have given birth and those who haven't."

Qin Su nodded. Older women can tell whether a person has given birth to a child or not.

As they were talking, Lu Huaijing came in from outside. He smiled and said, "I just got a call from my hometown."
