Chapter 542: Chapter 543 The Ugly Daughter-in-law is About to Meet the In-laws Chapter 542: Chapter 543 The Ugly Daughter-in-law is About to Meet the In-laws “Auntie, here’s some candy for you.”

After the plane had been flying in the sky for some time, Little Fatty suddenly held out a piece of candy, cautiously moving to Su Shu’s side.

Su Shu paused, looking down at the chubby little palm, where lay a very ordinary piece of candy.

Since the children had arrived, many people had taken care of them, and occasionally, some would give them treats.

Candy like this was possibly not available at the front lines, it might have been given by the medical staff in the war zone.

She noticed that the candy wrapper had been rubbed so much that it had lost its color.

It must have been because he liked it so much yet couldn’t bring himself to eat it, squeezing it day by day until it turned like this.

He didn’t want to eat the candy himself, but he was offering it to her?

She looked up at him, “Auntie won’t eat it, you keep it for yourself.”

“Candy is sweet, when you eat candy, you won’t feel sad anymore.” Little Fatty blinked his large eyes at her.

Su Shu felt warmth in her heart, she had just parted with Tang Zelin and had remained silent by their side; perhaps the little boy thought she was too sad.

In any case, she was moved by his gesture.

Reaching out, she ruffled his hair, “Auntie is an adult, and I’m not sad anymore, so I don’t need to eat sweets, Xiaopang, you keep it for yourself.”

Little Fatty looked down at his candy for a long time, then tucked it back into his pocket.

“Then I’ll keep it for Auntie, for the next time you feel sad and can eat it.”

“Adorable.” Su Shu couldn’t help but smile gently.

Lu Tong had been sitting by her side all along. Before the departure, Uncle Yao Ke had personally talked to him.

He also mentioned the temporary arrangement for Lu Tong to be taken care of by Su Shu’s family; though Lu Tong wished he could stay with Yao Ke, he was very sensible. Despite his young age, he understood that his uncle and Tang Uncle were the same.

They both had to protect their country, they were on duty; his staying would only add to his uncle’s burden.

Yao Ke said to him, “In your Aunt Su’s home, there’s a little sister too. You see, your Tang Uncle is also working here, and there are only those two women at home. Once you go back with them, you’ll be the only man in the house, and you’ll be the family’s pillar. Can you take good care of Aunt Su and the little sister for Tang Uncle? This is also a task given to you by your uncle. Tang Uncle has saved my life many times, are you willing to do this?”

Lu Tong responded, “I am! Uncle, I will take good care of Aunt Su and the little sister.”

And like that, Yao Ke had cajoled and tricked his nephew, who initially wanted to stay at the front lines to “serve the country with absolute loyalty,” onto the plane heading back to the safety zone.

All this, Su Shu was unaware of, even Tang Zelin found out about what Yao Ke had said to Lu Tong much, much later.

Now, every so often, Lu Tong would stealthily glance at Su Shu.

He secretly told himself that in these times, many people who couldn’t afford to raise their own children were abandoning them willy-nilly, yet this young auntie beside him was still willing to accept and take care of him.

Ever since losing his parents in an earthquake, and experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world in the Apocalypse, a subtle warmth began to surface in Lu Tong’s heart.

It was as if his heart, which had been adrift and uneasy, suddenly found a place to rest, knowing where he could go, where he could return to. It felt so good.

Aside from Su Shu and the two children, the others in the cabin were all wounded soldiers from the front lines. Initially, the atmosphere inside was very solemn, but gradually, it began to liven up a bit due to the children’s inquisitive questions about everything.

Most of the time it was Little Fatty and Lu Tong asking the questions; some of which Su Shu would answer, while those soldiers who were lucid would reply.

Nine out of ten questions were asked by Little Fatty, and whenever Lu Tong had a query, Su Shu’s eyes would light up.

This child’s way of thinking was truly unique.

In the midst of this question-and-answer session, after several hours of travel, the plane finally landed at the military airport in Province B.

In the distance, Tang Husheng was too restless to sit still in the car; he stepped out and stood by the door, waiting.

Hmm, his son Tang had finally brought home his hard-won bride.
