CHAPTER 495: CHAPTER 495: ZHAO SULAN GETS MARRIED

Lin Yuzhe, the youngest uncle, always enjoyed watching them do their homework.

Everyone found it strange, homework required silence, so what are you doing here?

Could it be an act?

Everyone was puzzled, but his academic performance had always been excellent, and there was no denying that.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Yuzhe watched over the kids doing their homework as usual.

His desk for homework was quite tall, effectively preventing his workbooks from being treated as food by the little ones...

Engrossed in his work, a maid came in and said to Han Zheng, who was playing chess with Song Ting, "Mr. Han, there’s a woman outside claiming to be Mrs. Chuyue’s biological mother, saying she has something important for her."

Han Zheng’s face instantly filled with disgust. He waved his hand and told the maid, "Tell her Chuyue is very busy now and doesn’t have time to see her."

Meng Chuyue was indeed very busy today as she was making tasty food with Shen Ci in the kitchen.

And at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic, it was Su Jinnian and Xia Ping, who was on vacation, seeing patients.

The maid was about to send Zhao Sulan away when Lin Yuzhe said, "Wait, I’ll go see what this is all about."

Zhao Sulan had been like a vanished presence for over a year, not bothering them.

Lin Yuzhe was pleased about this but also a bit worried she had met with some misfortune.

However, his wish to see Zhao Sulan now wasn’t due to worry but to find out what she really wanted.

If she had some wild idea again, he would give her a good talking to, to make her give up the notion.

To his surprise, Zhao Sulan had actually come to say goodbye.

Only Lin Yuzhe came out to see her, and she was a bit disappointed but also somewhat happy. She smiled and said, "I’ve come to see you all and also to say goodbye. I’m planning to go with someone to the south."

That person was actually her new husband, a hardworking and kind old man in his fifties with a son. The son, who had a good job and had married five years prior, had stopped dealing with him after his marriage, and, feeling lost, the man went to work in the south with some friends.

When he returned for the new year, he found he got along quite well with his neighbor Zhao Sulan, taking good care of her.

A few days ago, he suddenly came back to sell his old house here and proposed to Zhao Sulan, saying he liked the climate in the south and had saved enough money to buy a house there. He asked if she would marry him and live in the south with him.

Zhao Sulan thought about it seriously for several days and agreed.

She, too, wanted to start a new life somewhere else.

As for whether the man was a swindler, she thought the chances were very slim.

She was old and didn’t have much to be swindled for.

Plus, the neighbors had said the man was of good character and capable, quite decent overall.

Concerning these matters, she felt embarrassed to go into detail with Lin Yuzhe.

Lin Yuzhe didn’t ponder much over it either, thinking she was going to the south with a friend to make some money.

After all, even though Imperial City was developing well, the south was also strong.

Saying goodbye meant she would still not disturb their lives in the future.

It indicated she knew her place.

Lin Yuzhe was very satisfied and also felt a bit of compassion.

The boy, not quite fifteen, had already grown past one meter seventy, handsome and dashing with a boyish charm. He said indifferently, "I understand. I’ll pass the message to my sisters. Take care."

Though he felt compassion, he didn’t want his sisters to see Zhao Sulan.

The hurt Zhao Sulan had caused them was too profound, not something that could be easily erased.

As soon as he finished speaking, he left. Zhao Sulan stood at the door for a while, gave a rueful smile, and walked away, desolate.

When Lin Yuzhe had gone out to meet with Zhao Sulan, Han Zheng had already had a maid inform Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci about the matter.

Meng Chuyue had no desire to see Zhao Sulan and only sent Erhu to eavesdrop, also protecting Lin Yuzhe.

Before Lin Yuzhe had even returned to the room, Erhu reported their entire conversation to Meng Chuyue.
