Here, sister-in-law Liu Xiumei was talking to Su Ruo.
In the other room, Wu Jiaoyan was looking through the things Su Ruo had sent. She felt happy for a moment, but also a little disappointed. She muttered, "She has always been close to my sister-in-law. I don't know what she sent to my sister-in-law."
Han Jialin was lying on the bed with his legs crossed and humming a little tune.
When Su Ruo left, the school vacated a place for him to work as a janitor in the commune primary school. He no longer had to work in the fields for a living, and he received a salary every month. He was very happy.
So even if his brother said he would reduce the money he gave to his mother, he would still feel the pain... because that money would eventually fall into his pocket, but that was far away after all. But being able to go to work in school was a real benefit.
As for his mother and his brother...who knows what will happen in the future?
So he was in a good mood.
When he heard his wife say this, he snorted and said, "It's just a little bit, don't worry about it. I am my brother's biological brother, and I get the bulk of the benefits. Those little bits are nothing."
Wu Jiaoyan gave him a sidelong glance.
What does he know? Su Ruo has a lot of good things. But thinking of this, she quickly said: "Second sister-in-law is too mean. You haven't even started working yet, but she's already instigated mom to ask you to hand over your salary. Second brother is a big leader now, with a lot of money. What's wrong with giving the family a few dozen more yuan..."
She felt very sad thinking about the few dozen dollars that were missing.
Oh, forget it, what’s important is what’s in front of you.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Jia Lin, we can't pay this salary. If we do, we'll split up... No, there's no need to split up. What do you say when you go to work at the commune, we can move to the commune together?"
She doesn't like to go to the fields every day!
Han Jialin glanced at her and said, "What are you talking about? Why are you moving? We eat well and live well at home, and we don't have to spend any money on anything. Why are you worrying about money? My second brother gives me so much money every month, and I have plenty of money."
"Big brother is not my biological son, so won't all the money I have in the future belong to us? If we divide the family, what will I do if I live with big brother and give all the money to him?"
Wu Jiaoyan curled her lips and said nothing.
But she had also made up her mind not to go out to the fields.
Thinking of this, she felt sad and thought that her second sister-in-law was so lucky. Her second brother was so handsome, had a bright future and was rich... When she looked at her husband, she realized that the gap was really huge.
Han Jialin didn't know that his wife was feeling jealous, and he had other thoughts in his mind.
He said, "Jiaoyan, what do you think about us putting our Laibao under the name of our second brother?"
Wu Jiaoyan was stunned. What did it mean to put Laibao under the second brother's name?
Han Jialin smiled and said, "That means registering Laibao under the name of Second Brother as Second Brother's son. This way, Laibao can go to school and college in the city like Guozi, and then he can work in the city, or join the army like Second Brother."
It sounded good, but Wu Jiaoyan hesitated and said, "Wouldn't this mean giving Laibao to my second brother to raise? But we only have Laibao as a son."
Han Jialin snorted and said, "Second brother has sons himself, so why would he care about you as his own son? My second brother is so old-fashioned and my second sister-in-law is so noble, they wouldn't think of seducing Laibao. He's just staying at their house temporarily. But I didn't want to bring it up now. I thought that when Laibao is older, he can finish elementary school in our hometown like my second brother did, and then we can send him there. That way, I won't have to worry about Laibao not being close to us in the future."
After hearing this, Wu Jiaoyan thought it was feasible.
But she thought of the quarrel between her mother-in-law and her second brother tonight, and she became worried again: "Jia Lin, Mom and second brother quarreled so fiercely today. We want to send the treasure to second brother to raise in the future. Will second brother and his wife agree?"
Han Jialin smiled and said, "Why wouldn't I agree to this? Isn't Mom always like this? Even if we break bones, we still have tendons. What's the big deal about a quarrel? Besides, I'm Second Brother's biological brother. It won't be a big deal to put Second Brother under his name. Why wouldn't I agree? Don't worry, when the time comes, I'll ask Second Brother and he'll agree."

If Su Ruo heard the conversation between the couple, she would definitely curl her lips and say "dream on".
But at this time she knew nothing.
Since they were all leaving, she didn't care much about the Han family's affairs.
But she still felt heavy in her heart and couldn't fall asleep in bed.
Thinking about what happened in the past two days, it feels like a dream.
No, in just two days, she felt like she had lived five years.
Tomorrow morning, I will go to a strange place again and meet a man who seems very familiar to me but I have actually only known him for two days.
He was sleeping next to her now, so even if she couldn't sleep, she didn't dare to toss and turn like she used to in her own room.
Plus what the sister-in-law said before... No, no, no, forget all that. She and he are not in that kind of relationship.
"Go to bed early. It will take almost ten hours to get to the army tomorrow. We should get up early and leave. We will arrive at noon and go through various formalities in the afternoon. I will also take you and Guoguo to get familiar with the environment there."
In the darkness, a voice suddenly came from the side.
His voice was low, as if he was restraining something. It contained a lot of content, but it also had the power to calm people's hearts.
Su Ruo turned her head to look at him.
But his eyelids were drooping, and even when he was talking to her, he was not looking at her.
Su Ruo's heart gradually calmed down.
She thought of the mess that happened during the day and suddenly wanted to ask him if she had been very mean to him in the past.
She had asked him the same question last night, but in just one day, his mood was completely different from yesterday.
The answer she wanted was no longer the answer from last night, which might not be wrong but was actually very superficial.
But what if you have asked the question and got the real answer?
If she had really been bad to him in the past few years, would she be nice to him in the future?
She was a little confused.
But she didn't say anything, and she felt depressed.
After hesitating for a long time and thinking it over again, she finally whispered, "Can we get along well in the future?"
Han Zecheng was slightly stunned.
He turned to look at her, but as soon as he looked over, her gaze dodged away like a deer.
His heart softened, but a bitter feeling slowly spread.
He said, "Okay."
"Don't think too much. I'm usually very busy. Even if you follow me to the army, I may not be at home very often. Just live a good life with Guoguo and concentrate on reviewing. If there's anything you're not used to or if you want me to do anything, just tell me."
Su Ruo breathed a sigh of relief.
She understood the implication of his words, and her anxiety was immediately relieved, but then she felt grateful and guilty.
Feeling grateful and guilty, she moved her fingers under the quilt, then reached out and held his hand, to be exact, several fingers, and whispered, "Thank you."
His hands are rough and warm, just like him, giving people a sense of security.
Su Ruo was just impulsive and expressed the complicated feelings of gratitude and guilt in her heart. After shaking hands, although her heart beat faster and she felt a little shy, she had no other thoughts. She thought that if he didn't mind, it would be fine... His hands really gave people a sense of security and strength.
Han Zecheng moved his fingers.
Her hands were soft and smooth, and they grasped him gently. He felt his hands go numb, and an electric current ran from his fingers to his arms and then to his upper body, making him feel sore and numb that he couldn't help but hold his breath.
He wanted to pull his hand away, but he couldn't bear to do so.
This time, it was his turn to be unable to sleep.
******
Han Zecheng got up at three in the morning the next day.
Su Ruo and Guo Guo were still sleeping, and Han Zecheng did not call them. He just moved all the things that Su Ruo had packed yesterday into the car one by one. When everything was ready to set off, he went back to call Su Ruo.
He stood in front of the bed for a moment, then called Su Ruo. Su Ruo made a "hmm" sound, pouted and said "no", acting very coquettishly. Then she pulled the quilt and turned around to continue sleeping.
Han Zecheng was stunned, looking at her fair and tender little face and the soft hair hanging on her cheeks, his eyes darkened several shades.
He took a deep breath and said, "Aruo, it's time for us to set off."
He called out several times in succession and finally woke her up before he could do anything.
After Su Ruo woke up, she stared at him blankly for a moment, then disappointment appeared in her eyes. She closed her eyes, and only became normal again after opening them again.
Then I got excited again.
About to leave.
In just two days, Han Zecheng has become accustomed to the rich and varied expressions on her face.
He turned around and said, "I've already loaded the things into the car. Please check them again and change your clothes before we set off. I'll go carry Guoguo to the car."
He didn't plan to wake Han Guo up. He planned to carry him directly to the car to continue sleeping. However, as soon as he hugged him, Han Guo woke up rubbing his eyes... He knew he had to leave early today, so he was very alert. What if his parents left and abandoned him?
After Su Ruo changed her clothes and checked her and her son's room, Han Zecheng took the two of them out, who could hardly hide their excitement.
As soon as they walked out of the room, they saw that other people in the family had also gotten up to see them off.
Wu Guizhi's eyes were red as she watched her second son, Su Ruo and her grandson, a family of three, walk out.
That's why she didn't want her son to marry an educated youth or a woman whose background she didn't know. It was because she was afraid of this day.
If he marries a girl from the village, his roots are still in this village.
He will give the money he earns to his family, and his heart is still in this family.
How could something like this happen today?
She almost went crazy when the second brother said those words yesterday.
Given her personality, she would definitely continue to make trouble.
But she was persuaded by Han Heping. Over the years, Han Heping had never lost his temper with her, but he lost his temper with her for the first time last night. He said that if she wanted the second brother to completely sever ties with this family in the future, she would make a fuss.
She was not afraid. She said if he dared to do that, she would go to his army and make trouble.
Then Han Heping said, calculate how many years you have raised him, and how much money you have taken from He Huai and him over the years. These are all recorded. Also, the second son’s wife is a teacher in the school. She has always had a good reputation, and the villagers also remember her well. If you really make a fuss, what good will you get when they investigate?
In the future, there will be a lot of things in this family that will depend on the second child to support them. Your making a fuss will just make people cut off ties with you.
Finally, I managed to persuade her to calm down.
But she was still angry.
At this moment, watching his son taking Su Ruo and grandson away, his heart felt as if oil was poured on it.
She didn't want to pay attention to Han Zecheng and Su Ruo, so she took out a handful of red dates that had been in her pocket for who knows how long, stuffed them into Han Guo's hand, and said while wiping her tears, "Guozi, remember to come back during the Chinese New Year to let grandma see if you have grown taller. In the future, if your parents are busy, you can go back home to live."
After hearing her last sentence, Han Guo almost retracted his hand that was stretched out to take the dates.
He said that his grandmother couldn't stand him being well and even threatened him before he left...
But fortunately he kept calm.
This time he didn't give her face. He took the handful of red dates she gave him and said, "Grandma, please don't scare me. I'm leaving soon. Why are you giving me a handful of red dates and wishing I'd eat them and let them get stuck in my throat? Even if my parents are busy, they are still my real parents. You're treating me like my hind grandmother. Why should I come back?"
Wu Guizhi: ...
She was so angry that her head was spinning.
This little bastard is really annoying!
To be honest, Wu Guizhi is indeed biased, but it is obviously unfair to say that she doesn't love Han Guo at all.
After all, he is her grandson.
Or it was the grandson she wanted to win over... She had also treated him well in her own way, but it was a pity that Han Guo didn't buy it and always made her so mad that she just wanted to whip him!
But she didn't think about the fact that children are the most sensitive.
She thought she was very good to Han Guo, but her actions showed that if Han Guo had anything, she would force him to share it with Han Laibao or give it directly to Han Zecheng. As for the things sent by Han Zecheng, since Su Ruo had already bought them for Han Guo, the majority of them went to Han Laobao from the third family, and the smaller portions went to Han Laobao from the eldest family, so Han Guo got nothing.
She was so biased and justified in doing so, it would be strange if Han Guo didn't think she was the hind milk.
After getting in the car, Han Guo leaned on the rear window and looked at Wu Guizhi and other members of the Han family who were still standing at the door looking out, as well as the village that was getting farther and farther away, and sighed.
Su Ruo found it both cute and a little distressed when she saw him sighing in an old-fashioned manner despite his young age.
She wouldn't think that he was young and didn't understand anything.
In fact, children are the most sensitive.
Su Ruo put her arms around him and said, "Are you reluctant to leave? We can come back and visit when we have time."
Han Guo hummed and said, "Actually, I like it here too. I like Brother Dong, Brother Chun, and the big yellow dog at home. But no matter how much I like them, they are not as good as Mom and Dad."
Dong Ge and Chun Ge are the two sons of the eldest wife, Han Laidong and Han Laichun. The two cousins take good care of Han Guo and would never leave him behind when going out to collect bird eggs or fish.
When Su Ruo heard her son say this, her heart was instantly filled with soft emotions.
She also doesn't care that her son compares her and his father with the big yellow dog at home.
She hugged him and said, "In my mother's heart, nothing can compare to Guoguo."
Although she came here inexplicably and lost her original family, she seemed to be an extra existence in her original home...and now, she already has a new family.
Although they had only known each other for two days, she seemed to be very important to them...
Thinking of this, she hugged Guoguo, but looked up at Han Zecheng.
Han Zecheng happened to turn around and look over here. Su Ruo blushed and turned her eyes away guiltily.
I don't know why I feel guilty.
