Gu Yanliu opened the door immediately.
A well-dressed middle-aged couple stood outside the door.
A little girl, about ten years old, was standing in front of the two of them.
Who are you looking for?
The middle-aged man adjusted his black-rimmed glasses, cleared his throat, and asked with a gentle and polite expression, "We're looking for Su Nianxue. Is she home?"
Upon hearing this, Su Nianxue quickly picked up the child and walked to the door, "You are......"
However, when she looked at the middle-aged woman, she froze on the spot, unable to utter a single word.
Because that woman was clearly no different from the one in the photo.
Even though they hadn't seen each other for over ten years, she still recognized her at a glance.
Although time has left some marks on her face.
But she hasn't changed much overall; she looks exactly the same as she remembers.
The middle-aged woman burst into tears the moment she saw her, choking back sobs, "Nianxue..."
"Sister-in-law, who is she?" Gu Yanliu was completely baffled. What was going on with this person?
She cries as soon as she sees her sister-in-law. What's wrong with her?
"Yanliu, let them in." At this moment, Su Nianxue's heart was also filled with mixed feelings.
I don't know how to deal with this.
She thought she had let go of these things long ago, but when she actually came to her, she realized that she still cared.
After everyone was seated, the room fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke.
All that could be faintly heard was the woman's low sobbing.
The little girl, however, kept staring at her curiously, saying, "Sister, you're so pretty, just like Mom."
"Who are you?" When she saw the little girl, she felt a strange sense of familiarity and warmth.
"My name is Lin Xiaoxue. My mother has been talking about you all these years, and we even have your photos at home."
"Although you look a little different from the photo, I still recognized you at a glance," the little girl replied crisply.
"Xiaoxue?!" she murmured repeatedly.
When she was little, her mother loved to call her Xiaoxue.
And this little girl is also named Xiaoxue, does that mean...?
Her somewhat bittersweet heart seemed to have returned to normal.
The man with black-rimmed glasses took a handkerchief out of his pocket and handed it to the middle-aged woman. "Okay, stop crying."
"You've been talking about Nianxue all this time, haven't you? Now that you've finally met her, you should be happy."
The man's tone was very gentle, and he seemed to have a good personality.
Han Jingru took the handkerchief, wiped her eyes, and then said, "Nianxue, I know everything about what happened to you. To be honest, it's Mom who's sorry."
As she spoke, tears welled up in her reddened eyes.
After sitting for a while, Su Nianxue's heart calmed down again.
She shook her head. "There's no need to feel sorry or apologetic. It's all in the past."
Moreover, I'm doing very well now, so I guess you could say I've turned misfortune into blessing.
Besides, it was all my own choice; I can't blame anyone else.
She glanced at the child in her arms, and a smile unconsciously crept onto her lips.
Life is so good now; she has her own home.
They also have things they enjoy doing.
And he respects her. Isn't this the kind of life she's always dreamed of?
So what else is she dissatisfied with now?
"Is he good to you?" Han Jingru's heart was in her throat the whole way.
As soon as they arrived, they went straight to Hongwan Village.
Unfortunately, the Su family's gate was tightly closed, and she did not see any members of the Su family.
So she went to the house where she had gotten along well before and inquired about Su Nianxue's situation over the years.
Only then did I learn how hard Su Nianxue's life had been all these years.
In order to save her heartless father, she married off a good-for-nothing.
Everyone in the surrounding villages knows Gu Yanbai's name.
Although I've heard people say that he seems to have made a lot of money and that his family is doing quite well.
But she was still worried, as she always believed that a person's character had nothing to do with how much money they had.
So, her heart was in her throat the whole way.
Without hesitation, Su Nianxue said, "He's very good to me. It's just that he's out on business right now, but you could go and meet him."
Gu Yanliu had been sitting in the room for a while, and now she understood everything.
The woman in question is the sister-in-law's mother who has returned to the city.
So, she came back to find her sister-in-law?
Thinking this through, she quickly stood up and said, "Please sit down first, I'll go get you some water."
"Thank you, young lady," the man said politely.
Gu Yanliu quickly waved his hand, "You're too kind."
Han Jingru noticed that although her attitude wasn't exactly intimate, she wasn't particularly repulsed either.
She had thought that she would resent her for abandoning her and making her suffer so much.
I didn't expect her to be so calm!
This attitude was much better than she had expected.
Thinking of this, her guilt intensified. "No rush, let him do his thing, I'll wait."
“His return date is uncertain. Perhaps... you might not be able to wait for him.” Su Nianxue glanced at them and said objectively.
Judging from their clothes, they must be respectable people.
Although I don't know why they came back, they probably won't stay in the countryside for long.
After all, everyone's busy these days.
"No, it's okay, I can wait." I finally got to see her.
