Chapter 369: Chapter 379 I’m Sorry to You

Second Aunt Qin was busy ushering people inside to sit down.

The Qin Family’s house didn’t have good lighting—it was somewhat dim and the eaves were low. As Su Hai entered, his eyes swept across the room casually. Thinking that his niece might have grown up in this kind of environment, he felt even more distressed.

"Elder sister-in-law, why hasn’t your family built a new house after all these years?" As soon as Su Yun entered, she couldn’t help but show a look of disgust.

Second Aunt Qin’s feigned smile vanished instantaneously, and she looked at Su Yun puzzled, then realized with growing familiarity.

"You... you are... you are?" She pointed at Su Yun, trembling, hardly able to believe her own eyes.

Su Hai exchanged a glance with the office director, who shook his head. Thus, the director had to step forward.

"Alright, Second Aunt Qin, stop dawdling, hurry up and call your husband over!" The director was quite prestigious throughout the county, and Second Aunt Qin had frequently visited the minister’s office when Qin Cuifen joined the General Union.

As soon as he spoke up, she had to follow his lead with caution.

"Yes, yes, yes, I’ll call him right now." Second Aunt Qin suppressed the shock in her heart and said to Xu Lai, who was joining in the excitement, "Laidi, go and call your Second Uncle for me, just tell him someone is looking for him."

"Okay!" Xu Laodi ran out like the wind and in less than ten minutes dragged Qin Youde away from the mahjong table.

"Second Uncle, hurry back home. You have relatives visiting. Really rich relatives."

Throughout his life, Qin Youde had been spineless, never taking charge even halfway as a son-in-law, and had practically no say at home.

Characteristic of his honesty and obtuseness, even Qin Cuifen seldom took him to heart.

Dragged by Xu Laodi, Qin Youde had no choice but to hasten his steps home. Upon entering, he saw Su Yun sitting in the main hall.

"Su... Yun?" His aged face was filled with shock, "Why have you come back? I thought you’d never return."

"Is it really Su Yun?" Just when Second Aunt Qin thought she might have guessed wrong, hearing her husband say the same, she sprang up from her seat.

"It is Su Yun." Qin Youde gave a simple smile, "You haven’t changed at all over these years, just like when you first came to the countryside."

Back when Su Yun had come to the countryside, it had also caused quite a sensation. A pampered Miss from the city had suddenly arrived in their rural area. Mistaking wheat for leeks and washing clothes and hair every day, she piqued the villagers’ immense curiosity.

Su Yun got up, walked over to Qin Youde, and said in shame, "Yes! So many years have flown by, and you’ve grown so old too."

The Qin Youde before her had aged so much she could hardly recognise him, and she couldn’t help but feel grateful that she had returned to the city early. If she’d stayed in the countryside, she truly would have turned into an old lady.

"I thought you’d never come back," Qin Youde said, his eyes already moistening. When Su Yun had left after giving birth to her elder brother’s child, she had entrusted him with looking after her daughter. But he hadn’t expected that right after she left, his elder brother would die in an accident...

Thinking of this, Qin Youde grabbed Su Yun’s hand tightly, pulling so hard that she couldn’t shake him off.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry for you..." If it hadn’t been for his own cowardice, how could he have just watched as his wife left his elder brother’s daughter in a pile of grass?

Second Aunt Qin suddenly slapped Qin Youde hard across the face, "What are you talking about? Clearly, it was Su Yun who wronged our Qin Family. It was she who abandoned her husband and child. How have we wronged her?"
