Chapter 380: Su Lie: Why Did They Switch People?

Old Zhou got into the car, then sat in the back seat and closed his eyes, looking like he was about to nap.

Qiao Yindi also looked like she was yawning nonstop.

Su Yang was puzzled: what was going on? Had Old Zhou been busy with work last night and not slept? Then he glanced at Zhou Ruohan, and Zhou Ruohan gave him a hard stare.

He suddenly understood that it was his own fault; last night he had been a bit reckless, completely letting himself go.

He forgot this was someone else's house. Damn, at this moment he just wanted to awkwardly find a crack in the floor and crawl into it.

The car sped along, and around nine a. m. it finally arrived at Su Village.

Su Lie and his wife had been waiting at the village entrance; when they saw a small car hurrying over, they went to greet them, since motorcycles are still uncommon these days, let alone cars.

When a car arrives, if it's not a very rich person, it must be a local official.

Su Yang, seeing his parents coming from afar, slowed the car and gradually stopped, "Dad, Mom, why did you come here? Weren't you supposed to wait at home?"

Su Lie said, "It's just a few steps away, why wait at home?"

Your mother got up at four or five this morning to wait for you, almost ran out to the road of the township to greet you.

While they were talking, Old Zhou also woke up, rubbed his eyes and said, "Su Yang, these are your parents, shall we get out and say hello?"

As Old Zhou finished speaking, Qiao Yindi and Zhou Ruohan got out of the car together.

"Brother Su, hello, I am Zhou Weiguo, also Zhou Ruohan's father. Little Su must have told you, I'm just here to make acquaintances, not to disturb you, right?"

Su Lie looked at the few people getting out of the car, felt a sudden daze, and muttered, "What's going on? Why does it look different? Could it be that the makeup is off?"

Guo Xiaocui, standing nearby, tried to smooth things over, "Oh oh oh, welcome, welcome you all," then gave Su Lie a tug and said, "Old Su, what are you saying?"

Zhou Ruohan, still not understanding the situation, stepped forward politely and greeted, "Uncle, aunt, I am Zhou Ruohan; just call me Ruohan."

But Su Lie stared, unable to speak for a long time; this sounded inconsistent with the girl before.

Before it was Fang Jingwen, now it's Zhou Ruohan; the looks are different, the name is different.

Guo Xiaocui was delighted inside; after all they're the same, each one beautiful, but she complained that Su Yang hadn't clarified this earlier.

At this moment Su Yang also realized the issue and hurried, "Dad, what are you doing? They're greeting you, didn't you hear?"

Su Lie finally said, "Oh, hello, hello, let's quickly go inside; you came all the way, let's have some tea inside."

To be honest, Su Lie had been completely bewildered all this time; he hadn't figured out why it suddenly changed people.

Let it change, the point is the whole family showed up?

So he didn't even ask Su Yang what was going on, what had happened.

Zhou Weiguo and his wife seemed to sense something, but they were accustomed to big scenes, smiled and exchanged a few polite words, then followed Su Lie forward.

Zhou Ruohan, of course, also saw the problem; she grabbed Su Yang and asked, "What's happening? Why does it seem Uncle and Aunt don't like me at all? Is it Uncle, or do I have some issue?"

"I recall I didn't offend Uncle or Aunt; last time at the Hospital, I wanted to perform well, but everyone stole the spotlight, didn't you know?"

"Maybe my outfit today is off, making them uncomfortable, or maybe I said something wrong when I greeted them earlier?"

Zhou Ruohan felt extremely uneasy, always thinking it was her fault with Su Yang's parents, that she left no good impression, which was crucial for her.

"What's that, you're really overthinking it; with a daughter‑in‑law as perfect as you, they'll probably be so delighted they'll lose their sense of direction soon."

"The reason for this reaction is, as I told you, my parents have been mountain farmers all their lives and have never seen the world."

"The only time they traveled far was when I was hospitalized last time, so they were a bit nervous seeing Uncle, Aunt, and you."

"They were so nervous they couldn't even speak; otherwise, especially my mother would hold your hand and talk for ages, and you'd probably find it annoying."

Zhou Ruohan then said half‑believing, half‑doubting, "Don't lie to me, you're really embarrassing me; I tell you, I'll never be done with you."

"And if I can't even get past this hurdle, what am I to do later? Hey, be honest, would they despise me? If they really don't let me into your family, what then?"

Zhou Ruohan was truly nervous; this was probably the most nervous moment of her life.

Su Yang said, "What scene haven't you seen? With a family like my parents and me, we wouldn't keep you out; we'd actually want you in. Of course, if you don't enter the house, you don't have to."

Hearing that, Zhou Ruohan, who had been a bit relaxed, instantly tensed up, "What's happening? Could Uncle and Aunt really have an issue with me?"

Su Yang laughed heartily, "What are you thinking? We won't live here anymore, so you don't need to enter this house."

Zhou Ruohan then squeezed Su Yang's waist hard and said, "Next time don't be so indecent, you almost scared me to death!"

"Alright, if the car stops here, help me get the stuff."

Su Yang let out a howl, went to open the trunk, and exclaimed, "My god, I'm stunned—the trunk is packed to the brim!"

First there were clothes for spring, summer, autumn, winter—at least twenty‑to‑thirty sets of various outfits.

And although they're all branded items, they must have cost at least tens of thousands of yuan; in today's era, that's a huge sum.

Next to the mountain of clothes were Maotai and Huazi; there were two cases of Maotai and dozens of Huazi.

Besides that there were fruit, tea leaves, and milk candies.

Su Yang was stunned and asked, "Why so many? I didn't know, I thought you were coming to propose to our family, my god."

"And isn't this too extravagant? It might give people a reason to gossip."

Zhou Ruohan shot back at Su Yang, "What are you thinking? Isn't this all proper? Shouldn't my first visit be more grand?"

"And these cigarettes and alcohol are from me; I bought them with my wages saved over the years, what can they say?"

"And you underestimate me too much, thinking I can't afford them after all these years? Even if I can't, what about my parents?"

"There were originally some other gifts, but the car couldn't fit them, so they weren't brought. When Uncle and Aunt go to Jingcheng to stay, they'll be delivered there together."

At this point Su Yang could only nod in agreement; it wasn't that he doubted the gifts' legitimacy, but he felt it was overly ostentatious—two cases of Maotai could feed the whole village's grain purchases for a year…
