Chapter 327: 296 Lu Han, very straightforward (massive update 4)_1

Lu Han was slightly startled.

So what if there was surveillance, he just wanted to hug his girlfriend, was that a crime?

There was no one around anyway, right?

If there were people, he definitely wouldn’t do this.

Was he not allowed to hug her?

Tang Su really didn’t want to be overly affectionate in public, but in private, anything went.

This was also the upbringing their family emphasized.

Tang Su slipped under his arm to stand in another corner, reached down to straighten her clothes, and then faced the elevator mirror to tidy the hair that Lu Han had mussed.

Lu Han: "..."

Lu Han, feeling helpless, leaned against the elevator wall.

Once out of the elevator, the two walked out of the inpatient department. Lu Han, holding Tang Su’s arm, didn’t lead her towards the hospital’s main entrance but instead took her to a small garden beside it where they wouldn’t be disturbed at this moment.

The hospital’s grounds were well landscaped.

Apart from two janitors sweeping the area, there was basically no one else.

Of course, family members accompanying patients who were craving a smoke could come down to this small garden at night to smoke.

There was a small gazebo at the center of the garden. Seeing it was empty at the moment, Lu Han took Tang Su there.

"Shouldn’t we be getting milk tea for everyone?" Tang Su asked.

"Do they feel like drinking it?" Lu Han asked back, leaning on the railing.

"Then you..."

"Does Grandma recognize my dad? How did she know him?" Lu Han asked directly, "Does she know about my dad’s past? What did she tell you all about him?"

Tang Su couldn’t help but swallow several times; Lu Han’s questions were very direct.

"Tang Su, about that past, I originally planned to let you know gradually, after you met them, when more people from the Lu Family appeared in front of you, then I would tell you about those things."

"But I didn’t expect that Grandma would know my dad, no matter what she said, it’s not her fault because that’s how a lot of people see them."

"Even my sister, Sister Lu Zhu, had once misunderstood them both and couldn’t accept my mother for a while."

"..."

Lu Han had actually mentioned a bit of this before, but back then, she didn’t even know who Lu Han’s parents were, nor had she seen their faces.

Tang Su really didn’t know how to ask, let alone where to start.

"These things, I’ve said some to you before, do you remember?"

"Yes."

"Now, you try to tell me how Grandma talked about my dad, reproduce it for me to hear, and I’ll tell you what I know. Of course, if there’s something I don’t know, then we’ll have to ask them."

"If I say it, you can’t get angry."

"Yes, I promise, I won’t get angry. However Grandma said it, you tell it to me the same way. That way, I can know how to resolve the issues, understand?"

"Understood," Tang Su nodded again.

"Grandma said that Uncle Lu is a modern-day Chen Shimei, and also said that your mom... your mom is..."

"A seductress? The other woman who breaks up families?"

The embarrassing words Tang Su couldn’t bring herself to say, Lu Han said them all for her.

Tang Su really didn’t want to talk about Bai Wei like that, even if she was just repeating what others had said; she didn’t want to say it.

Bai Wei and those two words were completely incompatible.

You can’t say that if a woman has the potential to be a seductress, she must be one.

"It’s fine, I’ve been used to hearing these words since I was young, and my mom has gotten used to them too, but all these years, she has been dancing, not just dancing, she also runs a dance studio, and there are a lot of children who come to take classes. Later, adults who wanted to learn to dance came too," Lu Han said.

"Your future mother-in-law said that mouths belong to others but our hearts are our own," Lu Han pointed to his chest, "As long as you haven’t done anything that goes against your conscience, that’s fine. Accommodate when you should, be tolerant when you need to, whether people praise you or belittle you, it doesn’t matter much. Because they are just inconsequential others, that’s all. Does this value system not sound a lot like my future mother-in-law?"

"Yeah, no wonder the two of them were able to chat for an entire afternoon. When Grandma talks about them, my mom is even more anxious than I am to jump out and deny it," Tang Su said.

"Mm, I guessed as much. Tell me everything else Grandma knows," Lu Han said.

"Okay, Grandma also said she knew Uncle Lu’s legitimate wife, Wang Cuilan, and said that Uncle Lu and Wang Cuilan have three children. So, it seems you have three half-siblings in addition to Sister Lu Zhu?" Tang Su asked.

"They are siblings, but not half-siblings," Lu Han replied.

Tang Su: "..."

"They are children of the Lu Family, but not Lu Maoyan’s children. Do you understand?"

"Yes," Tang Su nodded, of course she understood, "So they are your cousins, brother and sisters?"

"My girlfriend is really smart. They are the children of my great-uncle and Wang Cuilan," Lu Han said. "I have never met my great-uncle. My father told me that he was a mentally challenged patient."

"Back then, my grandparents were heartbroken that their eldest son couldn’t find a wife, and my father just happened to look very similar to my great-uncle. So, to help my great-uncle get married, my grandmother took my father’s photo to seek a matchmaker’s help."

"However, the girls who were deceived by my father’s photo were not foolish; after seeing my great-uncle’s condition, they all declined politely."

"At that time, my grandfather owned land, and the family was considered wealthy. My great-uncle wasn’t born mentally challenged, but he suffered a head injury while saving my father from falling off a cliff. He was lucky to have survived such a high fall without any physical impairments, apart from the injury to his brain," Lu Han explained.

"Just when my grandparents thought my great-uncle would never find a wife, Wang Cuilan approached them on her own accord. She said she was willing to marry my great-uncle but had one condition: during the wedding festivities, my father had to host the guests pretending to be my great-uncle to avoid public embarrassment."

"She was considered quite attractive in the village. When she came to our house, my great-uncle liked her very much and clung to her every day. Even before bringing her home as his wife, my great-uncle would sit outside her house from dusk till dawn, guarding it, and he was eager to do chores for her family."

"That year, my father went north to join the army. My grandfather was also a soldier, and they were both decisive people. Faced with what seemed like Wang Cuilan’s unreasonable demand, they didn’t want to agree at first. But my grandmother pleaded desperately, and my father felt he owed my great-uncle a life. Since my great-uncle liked Wang Cuilan so much, he agreed to the condition."

"The whole family was happy. After my father entertained the guests, he returned to the army with my grandfather. The wedding chamber was for my great-uncle and Wang Cuilan to consummate, of course, all under my grandmother’s guidance," Lu Han added.

"After that, the household consisted of my grandmother, Wang Cuilan, and my poor great-uncle, along with two younger aunts. In the beginning, Wang Cuilan managed the house very well."

"Because my father had entertained the guests pretending to be my great-uncle, people in the village always thought Wang Cuilan was my father’s wife. In that era, it was normal for men to work away from home while women stayed behind to take care of the household and the elderly."

Tang Su nodded; she knew some things about that era.

Communication was underdeveloped, everything was underdeveloped. In some places, men and women could get married and the husband could go off to make a living, possibly never seeing each other again until death.

Women would stay to guard the home, surviving on their in-laws’ land, do a little bit of craftwork, while the men earned money and sent it home, keeping a little for themselves. Those with a conscience would send all they earned back, the unscrupulous might keep it to start another family outside.

That too was a tragedy imposed on the people of that time by the era they lived in.
