Rebirth: At the beginning, the cool school beauty was caught stealing in the supermarket

Chapter 846 That old man was right about a good son-in-law

The two went outside. Lu Yuanqiu was about to share his thoughts when he suddenly felt it was too early to say anything, so he swallowed his words back. "Never mind... let's give the old lady some psychological counseling first, and let her know what she needs to do next."

Bai Songzhe nodded: "I'll talk to Zhang Ru later."

"Is there nothing else?" Bai Songzhe was about to go in when he turned back to look at him.

Lu Yuanqiu shook his head: "It's nothing."

"Then why did you even give me a look to tell me to come out?" Bai Songzhe looked puzzled.

Lu Yuanqiu smiled and said, "...Actually, what I wanted to say was that we shouldn't notify the police about finding Lin Ping'an's mother yet. Let's communicate with her ourselves first."

Baek Song-cheol: "Why?"

Lu Yuanqiu rubbed his neck and expressed his doubts: "I feel that Lao Song's progress has been slow recently, and he is not as proactive as before. Maybe he has other pressures and needs my third uncle to step in and balance things out. But Lao Song is not sure if my third uncle is in a convenient position to get involved in this criminal case... Of course, these are all just my guesses."

"I noticed that Lin Ping'an was keeping things to himself, so I felt that there must be a force behind him that he was afraid of, a force that would also cause trouble for the police, which led him to distrust the police."

“If that’s the case, it further proves that it has nothing to do with Zhang Zhisheng. He has nothing left now except his savings from all these years,” Bai Songzhe responded, then nodded. “In any case, we need to communicate with the old man first. There’s no need to ask the police to do this; we can do it ourselves.”

Lu Yuanqiu: "Yes, that's exactly what I meant."

After the two finished their conversation, they went back inside. Bai Songzhe then spoke to Zhang Ru about the matter privately. It was hard to imagine how troublesome it would be to find another "translator" if Zhang Ru wasn't there. After all, it wasn't convenient to explain such things too clearly to outsiders. Zhang Ru was one of his own, and she understood what Bai Songzhe was trying to say.

Around noon, Zhang Ru's parents finally returned home.

After Zhang Ru met her parents, they hugged and cried together. During this time, Bai Songzhe and the others waited outside, giving them some space. Only then did Lu Yuanqiu truly understand Zhang Ru's experiences from Bai Songzhe's words.

Zhang Ru left this place when she was young and met a man in Lucheng. The man was an orphan who was working hard on his own. The two cherished each other and later got their marriage certificate, but did not hold a wedding. Zhang Ru only informed her family about these things by phone.

After Ranran was born, Zhang Ru received her first piece of bad news: her daughter went blind. But that wasn't the end of it; bad news followed one after another: her husband got into an accident. Lu Yuanqiu knew everything that happened after that.

The main reason she hasn't gone home for so long is that she feels there's no need to share such a painful experience with her family or be discussed by other people from her hometown. Making an occasional phone call to let them know she's safe is the only thing she can do.

Almost eight years have passed, and even some of her fellow villagers no longer recognize Zhang Ru.

Lu Yuanqiu's next sentence stunned Bai Songzhe on the spot.

"Uncle Bai, do you think... how will Aunt Zhang introduce you to her parents?"

Bai Songzhe was speechless for a moment. He looked back and realized that even if he wanted to eavesdrop, he wouldn't understand what was going on. Bai Qingxia blinked expectantly next to Lu Yuanqiu, only to be lightly poked on the head by her father.

Bai Songzhe: "Why are you overthinking things too? How else can I introduce it? It's just..."

He paused again, unable to think of any suitable words.

A godbrother she's taken in? But they've been living together day and night, what kind of godbrother would treat his godsister so well?

A godfather? That sounds awful...

Working as a nanny in his house? That's not quite right.

Long-lost relatives? Her parents were completely baffled.

After thinking it over, Bai Songzhe swallowed hard, finally understanding why Lu Yuanqiu had suddenly asked this question.

Because Zhang Ru had to introduce Bai Songzhe to her parents in a respectable and reasonable way... At this moment, Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia hugged each other and chuckled, making Bai Songzhe's face turn red with embarrassment.

"Go away, don't make things worse for the two of you."

Xiao Li stood coolly to the side, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

At this moment, a commotion came from behind. Bai Songzhe and the others turned around and saw Zhang Ru walking in front, with two elderly people following behind her, their faces streaked with tears, but their expressions full of anticipation.

The two elderly people immediately set their gazes on Bai Songzhe, their expressions very satisfied. Needless to say, their gazes were exactly the same as those used to look at a rich and handsome man, their eyes so clear they could be put into a textbook.

The two elderly people and Zhang Ru spoke some more in their local dialect.

Everyone is waiting for Zhang Ru to translate.

Zhang Ru blushed, too embarrassed to look at Bai Songzhe.

After a long pause, she finally said, "My parents... say you are very handsome."

The object is not clear at all, but it is obvious that it refers to Baek Song-cheol.

Lu Yuanqiu, with an air of enjoying the drama, exposed her, saying, "The two elders clearly said such a long string of words, Aunt Zhang, did you not translate it completely?"

At this moment, Bai Songzhe really wanted to teach this kid a lesson.

He smiled apologetically at the two elderly people and said, "Thank you, thank you, you flatter me."

"So, are they willing to move to the city?"

Zhang Ru shook her head: "They still prefer to stay at home, but they want to see Ranran. I told them that they can't see her now, but I'll take them to the city when they can."

Bai Songzhe nodded. At this moment, Zhang Ru's father suddenly walked over, patted Bai Songzhe on the shoulder, said something to him, and made a "drinking" gesture. Bai Songzhe understood and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll have a few drinks with you today."

Zhang Ru lowered her head and smiled secretly, her face even rosier than before.

Lu Yuanqiu whispered to Bai Qingxia, "I really understood. That old man was talking about a good son-in-law. Don't leave tonight, let's have a few drinks together."

"Oh~" Bai Qingxia nodded exaggeratedly. Actually, judging from Aunt Zhang's expression, she could guess how the old man addressed her father.

However, it's still possible to pretend not to understand and give Lu Yuanqiu some emotional support.

Lunch was plentiful, and the two elderly people were kind and hospitable. Zhang Ru's father even wanted them to stay overnight, but Zhang Ru politely declined. After communicating well with the two elderly people, the five of them took Lin Ankang's mother back to the town and drove to Taizhou City. As per Bai Qingxia's request, this time they took the high-speed rail.

The old lady looked old, but she was still sharp-minded. She communicated with Zhang Ru very smoothly along the way. She wore her cleanest clothes this time, but she still looked out of place in the modern city.

After arriving in Lucheng, Lu Yuanqiu and the others took her directly to buy clothes for the elderly, and Zhang Ru even helped her take a bath at the hotel.

As for when to go to the prison to handle official business, Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Songzhe believed that this matter was not urgent. They would first take the elderly woman for a physical examination, and then let her adapt to normal city life for a few days. After she stabilized, they would consider that matter.

Unexpectedly, the day after Lu Yuanqiu and Bai Qingxia returned to Zhucheng, something unexpected happened in Lucheng.
