As Su Ruo spoke, she lowered her head and spoke to Guoguo again, asking him to stay and accompany Aunt Shu. Then she walked out of the dormitory door and walked towards Han Zecheng who was outside.
Shu Yuelan watched her walk out and come to the man, then saw her look up and say something to him. Han Zecheng glanced over here, and Su Ruo smiled and took his hand and said a few more words, then pulled him over here.
One is tall and the other is petite.
One has a handsome appearance and a striking aura, while the other is delicate, beautiful and charming.
Originally, they shouldn't match, but the picture is unexpectedly harmonious, like a vivid figure sketch of a famous painting.
Shu Yuelan looked at them for just a short moment, but in that moment of raising her head and holding hands, she saw a lot of things.
Aruo was indeed not forced to marry that man.
Or no matter what happened at the beginning, she now has a good relationship with this man.
She trusted him, even close to him.
She watched her grow up and of course knew what kind of person she was.
Even towards her father, she didn't have such a natural closeness and trust...it was full of pretense and distrust.
Shu Yuelan was in mixed mood.
But the dormitory lobby was crowded with people, so she thought it might be better to talk outside, so she lowered her head and asked Guo Guo, "How about we go out and talk to your parents?"
Guoguo was full of curiosity about this "aunt" her mother knew.
After all, as far as he could remember, there were very few elders on her mother's side...almost none.
In the military district, all the people there are are people his father knows.
However, children are always very sensitive to kindness and malice.
He nodded.
Shu Yuelan felt very soft-hearted towards this boy whose brows resembled those of Su Ruo when she was a child. She smiled at him and pulled him out.
However, when they got outside the door, Su Ruo had already pulled Han Zecheng over.
When Su Ruo saw Shu Yuelan and Guoguo coming out, she walked to a place and stood there, waiting for them to come to her, and then introduced them to Shu Yuelan: "Aunt Shu, this is my... lover, Han Zecheng, Han Xin's Han... Ze as in "if you don't advance, you will retreat", Cheng as in "city". He is now in the army of Biyang Military Region."
Although she has recently accepted the fact that Han Zecheng is her "lover", she is still a little embarrassed to introduce him to the elder who has watched her grow up.
However, the embarrassment quickly disappeared when she introduced Han Zecheng's name. Just now, she almost blurted out the "ze" in "wuyuzegang"... It was too unlucky.
After introducing Shu Yuelan, she turned back to Han Zecheng and said, "Brother Han, this is Aunt Shu, who I mentioned to you before. She is a professor in the Department of Architecture at Qingdao University and an elder who watched me grow up. Aunt Shu taught me most of the things when I was a child."
This is true.
She was only three years old when her father married her stepmother. She lived at her grandmother's house for four years and was only seven years old when she returned.
If it weren't for Aunt Shu, she would have been raised by Lin Wanhua to the point where she didn't know what was going on.
Thinking about her journey, it was really full of hardships and dangers. It is not easy for her to be standing here now.
"Aunt Shu."
Han Zecheng said to Shu Yuelan.
Although there was Yuan Chengyang between them, he was still grateful and respectful to her.
Especially since he knew that Shu Yuelan told Su Ruo that her mother left something with her and would give it to her when she had the chance.
For an ordinary person, it is a very noble quality for him to be able to maintain a noble character when faced with the temptation of huge wealth.
Deserve everyone's respect.
Shu Yuelan also smiled and nodded at him.
Her eyes and nose felt sore.
What she thought in her heart was that the man in front of her should be worthy of Ruoruo.
Not to mention his appearance, his status should be quite high.
Although he is still young, looking at his aura, he was able to suppress Ruoruo's family background problem and protect her. First, he let her be a teacher in the commune primary school, and later she took the college entrance examination. He must have both status and skills.
Although it was the first time I met him, I could already tell that he had a calm and resolute character.
The most important thing is that he should be nice to Ruoruo.
She knew very well what kind of personality Ruoruo had.
She looks well-behaved and generous, but she is very defensive towards others. Only those who are sincere to her can get close to her.
She was very happy that Ruoruo could meet such a person who loved and cared for her in such a situation.
Let her be still so good now.

"Aunt Shu, do you have something to talk to me about?"
Su Ruo asked.
Shu Yuelan withdrew her gaze from Han Zecheng, and when she thought about the purpose of her visit today, the smile on her face slowly faded.
She nodded apologetically to Han Zecheng, and then said to Su Ruo: "Ruoruo, can I talk to you alone for a few words? It's about your family."
Su Ruo frowned.
She was silent for a while, then said, "Is it about my dad? Aunt Shu, if it's their business, just talk about it here. Brother Han and Guoguo should know about it too."
They were her family now.
Shu Yuelan glanced at Guoguo, hesitated for a moment, but still followed Su Ruo's advice and said, "Ruoruo, I called your father yesterday and told him that you were admitted to Qingdao University. He said he would come to the provincial capital tomorrow to see if you are willing to meet him."
Then he explained, "Su Jia already knows that you were admitted to Qingdao University, so even if I don't tell you, your father will know it sooner or later. Rather than waiting for them to do something behind your back, it's better to meet earlier and make things clear."
She looked at her cold face and said softly, "Ruoruo, no matter how you plan to deal with this relationship, I think it is necessary to meet. After all, whether it was the so-called drawing a line or severing the relationship, it was only known through letters after you went to the countryside. It is better to talk about it directly than to get entangled in the future..."
And her mother's things, the longer you wait, the harder it may be to get them.
Especially if Lin Wanhua and the others knew about the existence of those things, they would probably do whatever it takes to take them away.
Su Ru nodded and said, "I understand, Aunt Shu. Since they are coming tomorrow, let's meet them tomorrow. Ze Cheng will be there by then."
Shu Yuelan agreed and said, "Okay, then I'll pick you up from school tomorrow? Do you want to meet them at my house or somewhere else? They're staying at the school guesthouse tonight..."
At this point she looked at Han Zecheng and Guoguo, then back at Su Ruo, and asked, "Are Xiao Han and Guoguo also staying at the guesthouse?"
"No,"
Su Ruo shook her head and said, "We have a house here, right near the school."
Aunt Shu was also a very close elder to her, and she had no intention of hiding this from her.
She smiled and said, "Then let's go to the teahouse next to the guesthouse. I don't want to go to Aunt Shu's house for the first time under such circumstances."
Shu Yuelan nodded.
She felt very complicated and she was very happy that Su Ruo was living well now.
It also made her feel relieved.
But thinking of my son...
No, this is the best.
If Aruo is not living a good life or marries a bad person, Cheng Yang will definitely not let her go.
Of course she wouldn't dislike Su Ruo, but she didn't know what kind of messy scene would follow.
And now, Cheng Yang has to let go even if he doesn't want to.
As for Aruo and Su Jianzhou...just follow Aruo's wishes.
******
Su Ruo and her family of three had originally planned to go directly to the state-owned department store after leaving school to buy some things for Fangyuan Road.
I got the information from Shu Yuelan that Su Jianzhou wanted.
After hearing the news and saying goodbye to Shu Yuelan, he did not change the plan.
But this time, the emotions of the three people were somewhat different.
The one with the highest interest was Guoguo.
He doesn't have the heavy mood that his mother and father have.
Only the raging fire of curiosity was ignited...I even forgot what I had heard in the dormitory before, about male classmates coming to see his mother all day long and about buying a loud speaker.
He was still holding back before getting in the car, but after getting in, he looked at his mother and said, "Mom, I remember you told me before that you didn't have a father, how come someone suddenly showed up now? So who is the person who wants to see you now? I remember you seemed to tell me something... it's a long story or something, can you tell me now what a long story is?"
Then he kept mumbling, "Since he is your father, he must be my grandpa. If you want to see him, I want to see him too... I wonder why other people have grandpas but I don't..."
Su Ruo:......
His eyes were bright and sparkling.
It's clearly a look of "Come on, mom, tell me slowly."
Seeing him like this, even though it was obviously a very heavy thing, she actually felt funny.
But really, I felt relieved all of a sudden.
She looked up at Han Zecheng, who was driving seriously.
It seemed that he was not affected at all by his son's words.
All right.
She had originally intended to talk to her son about this in detail.
She reached out to take the kettle and drank some water, then passed it to her son who also drank a sip, then put it back and said, "Who in this world can live without a father? It's not like Sun Wukong jumped out of a stone."
"Of course your mother has a father, but your grandmother's family background is not good. Your grandmother's family used to be capitalists. Have you heard about this?"
Han Guo nodded.
He had heard of this. He heard his grandmother scolding his mother once.
He actually wanted to ask his mother, but he held back because he was afraid that she would be sad.
Although he actually didn't know what capitalist meant, it was not a good word after all... He did know the five black categories who were reformed in the commune farms, and it probably meant something similar.
"That's true,"
Su Ruo smiled and said, "But your grandmother died when I was very young. As for your grandmother's parents... I have never seen my grandparents. I heard that they disappeared during the war. So no one ever mentioned this to me when I was young, and it seems that no one around me knows about it either."
"It was just that five or six years ago, Ama and your grandfather were suddenly reported by someone, saying that Ama's grandfather was a foreign capitalist and a member of the exploiting class...so Ama had to go to the countryside for reform."
Guoguo frowned.
Su Ruo knew that there were some things he definitely didn't understand.
After thinking for a while, he explained, "My mother used to live in the city. Later, someone reported that my mother's grandfather was a foreign capitalist, so my mother had to go to the countryside to do farm work and accept manual labor reform... It was because of that that my mother met your father, and then you were born."
Guo Guo said "Oh" and said, "That's not bad either."
Su Ruo smiled and said, "Well, your mother is lucky to have met your father."
As he said this, he looked up at Han Zecheng who was concentrating on driving in front of him.
"What about grandpa and the others? Why have I never seen them?"
Guoguo asked.
Su Ruo retracted her gaze, exhaled, looked at her son, and said, "My mother used to be in that house in the city. Besides grandpa, there are other people."
"But they are not your grandmother, and have nothing to do with your mother. They are the wife your grandfather married later, the son she gave birth to, and the daughter that wife had with someone else and brought over."
Guoguo would understand this.
Because these things are quite common in the countryside.
Guoguo has heard many stories about children being abused by their stepmothers.
Children in the countryside have a lot of experience.
Su Ruo continued, "The family background of your mother's grandfather is not good, but it may affect your mother, but it has no effect on that family. Because your grandmother died a long time ago, and your grandfather has remarried and has a child... as long as your grandfather tells the outside world that he has severed ties with your mother, then your mother, because of her background affected by your mother's grandfather's background, will have nothing to do with them and will not affect them."
"So at that time, your grandfather told the outside world that your mother was not his daughter and that he had severed all ties with her."
This is really confusing.
Guoguo was a little dizzy for a moment, but he understood the general meaning.
His maternal grandfather and his family disliked the fact that his maternal grandfather was a capitalist and were afraid that he would bring trouble to them, so they abandoned his maternal mother and severed all ties with her!
Oh my god!
After realizing what was going on, Guoguo's little face turned red with anger!
His mother was disowned by her father, and then she stayed in Hanjia Village with his grandmother every day!
And now his mother has come back to go to college and can no longer affect them, so they came back to recognize her!
Where's the face?
Where are their faces?
He didn't say anything to his mother.
He turned around and angrily said to his father who was driving in front of him: "Dad, if people attack me because my mother's background is not good and say I'm some bourgeois son of a bitch, will you draw a line and sever ties with me?"
Han Zecheng smiled.
But looking from the back seat, there was no smile on his profile, only a cold expression.
He said, "What nonsense! You are my son, why should I sever the relationship with you?"
Su Ruo interrupted and said, "I gave birth to him."
Han Zecheng: ...
Guo Guo didn't understand the meaning of this. He turned around and angrily asked his mother, "Then why do you still want to see him, mom? Get them out!"
He was so mad that he dared to bully his mother!
Su Ruo:......
This child has a high talent for learning, which is a good thing, but he has also learned a lot of swear words that a child should not say in Hanjia Village. He is fine at ordinary times, but all the words will come out when he is provoked.
She reached out and patted him, saying, "What are you talking about."
He then explained, "Hey, Guoguo, we can't just ask people we don't like to leave. We still have to pay attention to the impact and skills... Even if we want them to leave, we have to do it with some skills and not give them something to talk about."
"Well, besides, your grandmother, your mother's grandmother, left a lot of things with your grandfather, so your mother still has to get them back from your grandfather."
Seeing Guoguo looking at her with eyes wide open, Su Ruo was afraid that he didn't understand, so she broke it down and told him slowly, "It's like this. If mom died one day and left a lot of things with your dad, and your dad later married someone else and had other children with her, then he might give mom's things to his later wife and children. Guoguo, would you ask your dad to get the things back?"
After saying this, she hesitated again. Was it inappropriate to tell Guoguo what she had said today to a child?
But when I think about how I went through the same thing back then...and this child lives in this environment, it's better to just be straightforward and make it clear.
Han Guoguo is a smart student with a good mind.
He understood it completely.
But he obviously hasn't been able to deal with the fact that there is not necessarily a necessary connection between this assumption and reality.
He flew into a rage at the assumption.
He clenched his fist and said to his father: "Of course I have to take it back!"
After saying that, she added, "Dad, if you dare to give Mom's things to someone else's child, I will not recognize you and will beat him to death!"
Su Ruo: ...Where does this violence come from?
Need to be educated well.
But she also knew that the child's words like "beat him to death" should not be understood literally, just like many people nowadays will say "I will beat you to death if you do this and that" when they are angry.
What Han Zecheng was thinking was, why did the fire burn on his head for no reason?
He frowned and said, "Aruo, just explain it, why are you talking nonsense?"
After that, he said to Guoguo, "Your mother will be fine, and your father will not marry anyone else. Just listen to what your mother says about her."
Guoguo then looked at his mother again and said, "So, if you take back grandma's things, you won't care about them, right?"
Su Ruo hummed, but when she saw the light in her son's eyes, her heart skipped a beat and she said, "Guoguo, just listen to this and forget about it, but don't do anything rash, otherwise... otherwise, Mom might not be able to get your grandma's things back."
"I know. I know."
Guoguo muttered, "But I want to meet them and see what kind of people they are."
