Apocalypse: My Sweetie Is Tough but Cute
Chapter 586 - Chapter 586 Chapter 587 Dont sneak out again

Chapter 586: Chapter 587: Don’t sneak out again Chapter 586: Chapter 587: Don’t sneak out again Su Shu nodded at the words, “Yes, you become like the person you marry. Auntie, don’t cry. Mom is watching from the other side, and if you’re upset, that will make her upset too. We are a family, and no matter where we go, we are a family. We all need to be happy and move forward together.”

“Indeed, Mom, Cousin Zhan is right, let’s stop crying. Otherwise, Auntie will feel even worse seeing us like this,” Zhan Yue said as she wiped away her mother’s tears.

“Okay, no crying, no more tears.”

Everyone sat together in front of Mother Song’s grave for a while, wanting to keep her company a bit longer.

Tang Husheng chattered away to his wife about various things that had happened at home, Su Shu found the old man’s “complaints” endearing.

Because those “complaints” were about seventy or eighty percent related to his son, Tang Zelin; they were either about not listening to his father or running wild outside all the time.

The thing Su Shu found most adorable was when Tang Father actually said, “But considering he remembered to bring a daughter-in-law home to our Tang Family, I won’t hold it against him.”

Yet throughout it all, she never heard a romantic word from Tang Father’s mouth.

She couldn’t tell if it was because there were too many people around and the old man felt embarrassed, or for some other reason.

It was as if his wife was still alive, listening to him ramble on, so natural.

Su Shu suddenly felt moved.

The cemetery was now quiet and deserted around them, with no one else but their family.

To prevent any accidents, they didn’t stay at the cemetery for too long before heading back.

On the way back, Auntie Song confided in her, “Don’t be fooled by how easy-going your brother-in-law seems; the first two years after your mother-in-law passed away, he didn’t even dare to enter the house. Zelin had a hard time too during that period. He missed both his mom and dad and was like an orphan, aimlessly wandering in the courtyard every day. Later, he joined the military at a young age, I guess, to be closer to his father. It was pitiful to see him training and studying academic courses at the same time, relying on sheer willpower to keep everything on track despite his youth.”

Reflecting on that handsome and steady face, Su Shu realized how cunning and yet gentle he was, with a personality full of contradictions yet harmoniously blended.

Looking back, everything he experienced at a young age had honed his character.

And different from her, during the time Tang Zelin faced life’s blows, Su Shu herself had lived under the doting care and love of her parents at the same age.

It wasn’t until the upheaval when she was 13 that her life plunged into boundless darkness.

She thought, perhaps Tang Zelin always seemed especially thoughtful and considerate in some respects because he too had experienced the same kind of sorrow she had.

After sending the family back to the compound, Tang Husheng returned to the military base.

Whenever Su Shu got close to the gate, Auntie Song would worry that she would slip away without telling anyone again.

Su Shu couldn’t help but laugh and cry, “Auntie, I am not going out today.”

“Really not going out? Don’t deceive me again, sneaking off without us knowing.”

“I won’t. I’m leaving tomorrow; I won’t go out. I’ll stay at home and help you with some chores.”

“Do chores? No need, no need, just take a good rest.”

“Or, shall I help you pack some pickles?”

Ever since Su Shu had brought home food to eat twice, Auntie Song also had her own plans, and seeing that the house now had plenty of long shelf-life food stored added quite a bit of reassurance.
