Chapter 1219: Former Lover
Chapter 1219: Former Lover
Cheng Chuan came as the new son-in-law. Although his marriage to Dandan was a bit special, he was forced to do so.
But Huo Yiling still gave him a red envelope to give Dandan face.
This is also to support Dandan as her family.
We can't let the man think that he can treat Dandan casually just because their marriage was rushed.
Cheng Chuan was an intellectual, so he naturally understood the intentions of Huo Yiling and his wife, so he said sincerely:
"I will definitely treat Dandan very well in the future. Although we are married, I will prepare the necessary gifts for her."
"I've accumulated some savings from working over the years. When I get back, I'll give it all to Dandan. It's not a lot, but she can spend it however she wants."
To be honest, Huo Yiling didn't need this little bit of betrothal money.
Although her family is large, there are also many people who earn money.
Besides, when she came to Dongcheng with Duan Qi, she also brought a lot of money with her, so there was no need to ask her son-in-law's family to give a certain amount of betrothal gift.
On the contrary, she had secretly saved enough dowries for her two daughters.
At that moment, she did not stop or even guide Cheng Chuan to say these words, simply to see his attitude towards Dandan.
Seeing that he was indeed an honest man, he stopped being so reserved and said in a friendly manner:
"There's no need for those empty promises. Even if you have money, you should spend it frugally. You'll have a lot more to spend money on in the future when you're a couple."
"There's also a house. Cheng Chuan, haven't you got one yet?"
The two are now married, but they live in Dandan's small one-bedroom house. It seems fine now, but they will find it too crowded after they have children.
Speaking of this, Cheng Chuan was also helpless and could only say: "I will apply to my unit."
Huo Yiling thought about his identity and situation, and knew that he might be forcing him to do something.
I didn't say anything more at the moment, I was just worried about Dandan in my heart.
Ye Shu knew the direction of the future and knew that high-level intellectuals like Cheng Chuan, as long as they did not make serious mistakes, would have the possibility of being revived in the future.
So he gave two indirect reminders. They were all smart people, and Duan Qi had already found out the movements of many people who had returned from studying abroad with Cheng Chuan in the SU League, so he understood what Ye Shu meant.
He immediately comforted Huo Yiling: "Don't worry, the environment is much better now. I'll see what arrangements the organization has made for him."
Previously, Cheng Chuan was not taken seriously by the organization because of Deputy Director Chen’s involvement.
Now Duan Qi must of course gradually eliminate these bad impressions and help his son-in-law become successful so that his daughter's life will be better.
This matter has to be handled by him himself. If he dares to let Dandan down in the future, he will be brought down again in the same way he helped him up!
The serious business was almost over, and finally Cheng Chuan said that if his uncle was free tomorrow, he would come to visit their home.
Huo Yiling agreed.
Ye Shu then handed over a red envelope of his own and asked, "You just said that your hometown is Qiongtan?"
Cheng Chuan nodded: "Yes, aunt..."
Calling her "little aunt" was a bit far-fetched, because from Cheng Chuan's perspective, this little aunt was younger than him...
But he didn't think much about it. After all, they were elders, and the fact that they recognized him and Dandan meant that he had passed a test.
As for questions from elders, I will naturally answer them all.
Ye Shu still remembered Zong Hui's request to him, asking him to help her deliver a letter to her former lover.
That is Zong Hui’s hometown, Qiongtan.
She had never been free before.
This time I am on a mission with my leader, and I don’t dare to act alone to handle personal matters.
Coming to Dongcheng was a completely unexpected itinerary.
But she didn't expect that she would meet someone from Qiongtan here.
Ye Shu asked tentatively, "Do you know someone named Cheng Zhoulin?"
She thought that since both of them had the surname Cheng, maybe they knew each other?
I really didn’t expect that Cheng Zhoulin is Cheng Chuan’s uncle!
It was the middle-aged man who cried and begged them to release Cheng Chuan at the door of Huo Yiling's house two days ago.
Ye Shu was surprised: "He is Cheng Zhoulin? How old is he?"
"Are you married? How old is your child?"
Cheng Chuan: "My uncle never got married. He once had a fiancée, but then... he was always alone. My parents passed away when I was a child, so he raised me like his own son."
"He's actually not too old this year, he's only just turned fifty. It's just that he's suffered a series of setbacks and encountered some things that have destroyed his spirit, and he looks old."
Ye Shu nodded. That’s right. Just by looking at her uncle, she felt that he was already sixty years old.
Cheng Chuan asked, "What does my aunt want to talk to my uncle about?"
In terms of age, Cheng Zhoulin fits the description of the person Zong Hui described.
But Ye Shu didn't dare to confirm it immediately. He still wanted to confirm it in person. He didn't say much at the moment, only saying: "There is indeed an old story that I need to confirm with him. When he comes tomorrow, I will tell him in detail."
Ye Shu hadn't expected that what she said was so cryptic. When Cheng Chuan went back and repeated it to Cheng Zhoulin, Cheng Zhoulin immediately became so excited that he couldn't sleep. "She said she had an old story she wanted to confirm with me? Did she say what it was specifically?"
"How old is she? Is she Comrade Duan's aunt? Where is she from?"
Cheng Chuan: "He's from Beijing, and he's the medical expert who saved our East City this time."
Cheng Zhoulin's eyes were red with excitement: "She is a doctor!"
"Then she must know about Huihui! Where is she now? I'm going to find her now!"
Cheng Chuan didn't expect him to be so excited, so he quickly tried to dissuade him and talked about his own marriage.
But Cheng Zhoulin has no time to care about his marriage now. The only thing on his mind is that there is finally news about his Huihui!
So, after Cheng Chuan left, he went to wait near Duan Qi's house.
He wanted to confirm with Cheng Chuan's wife's aunt as soon as possible to see if she knew about his Huihui.
However, Ye Shu did not stay here that night.
When Duan Qi and Huo Yiling saw him standing outside the door in the morning as if he had not slept all night, they thought he was here to discuss his nephew's wedding.
They were all very moved and quickly called Cheng Chuan and Duan Jingdan over.
I also went to call Ye Shu.
Knowing that Huo Yiling was going to see Cheng Chuan's uncle today, Ye Shu specially informed the Central Hospital that she would not be seeing patients this morning.
Cheng Zhoulin was extremely anxious. When it came to the marriage of the two children, he said that Cheng Chuan had full authority to decide.
He had a hundred yuan saved up as a betrothal gift for his nephew, and he could buy whatever he wanted with him at that time.
Although a betrothal gift of one hundred yuan is not a lot in Beijing, it is already very generous in Dongcheng.
Duan Qi and Huo Yiling were not the type to make things difficult for others, so they had no objection at the moment.
As soon as the discussion here was over, Cheng Zhoulin couldn't wait to ask Ye Shu excitedly: "Aunt-in-law, do you know Huihui?"
"Her name is Zong Hui, Zong for kin and Hui for intelligent. She used to be a doctor in the capital!"
