Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 522 Free Pass

Chapter 522: Chapter 522 Free Pass

Principal Xu shook his head, "No need, I’ll have the Branch Secretary talk to her about it later."

Song Yunuan once again politely thanked him.

But Principal Xu still told Song Yunuan, "She is your counselor, and although you don’t need to ask her for leave, you should still let her know if you’re going to leave during class time."

Song Yunuan nodded in agreement.

But then a new problem arose, "What if it’s an emergency and I can’t get in touch with her?"

Song Yunuan felt that, according to Qian Anna’s character, if she really needed to leave, Qian Anna might just hide on purpose.

Principal Xu: "... You can also let me know."

Song Yunuan: ...

Thanks, but that’s really not necessary!

Yet, it was clear that Principal Xu was serious.

Then Principal Xu asked about Xia Xindong’s recent situation.

Throughout the conversation, he expressed great admiration for Xia Xindong.

After talking for a while, Song Yunuan left the principal’s office.

-----------------

Before class, Song Yunuan went to find Luo Shuxiu.

She was carrying a paper bag in her hand.

Inside was a set of sportswear.

She knew that Luo Shuxiu had a twelve-year-old son, as well as his height.

She had taken it from home on Sunday and incidentally told Old Mrs. Song about Luo Shuxiu.

Old Mrs. Song was pleased, feeling that knowing someone in the school was better than not.

She even mentioned Zhu Feng, "Your grandmother’s personality is too gentle and soft. Sometimes I’m worried for her but to be honest, if your future mother-in-law is like your grandmother, then I would truly be at peace."

Song Yunuan could not agree more.

Old Mrs. Song was actually happier to meet a fellow townsman here than Song Yunuan was.

Even though there were no language barriers, this place was still not her hometown.

Even with a house here, she wasn’t from Beidu, and there was a natural distance.

To say they didn’t take advantage of newcomers would be false.

Old Mrs. Song said they should invite Luo Shuxiu over for a meal when there’s a chance, as they were fellow townspeople, to get acquainted and interact as relatives.

After all, being affectionately called Aunt Luo by Little Nuan surely meant she had good character.

Luo Shuxiu was very happy to see Song Yunuan and said to her, "Wait for me for a moment."

Song Yunuan stood outside the logistics department waiting for Luo Shuxiu, not knowing what she was up to.

Soon, Luo Shuxiu came out with a cloth bag and took Song Yunuan to a secluded place, saying, "This is a small mattress pad I made especially for you."

As she spoke, she opened the cloth bag and pointed, "This side is wool, and I’ve already treated it so there’s no smell. The other side has an added layer of cotton, and look, here’s a zipper. I put a layer of plastic cloth inside. Little Nuan, you’re a girl; during your period you can use it as a pad so you don’t have to worry about it leaking onto the sheets or mattress at night. I used red checkered cotton, which won’t show stains clearly. You can just wash it after it gets dirty. As a girl, you shouldn’t catch cold. On normal days, just use the wool side. The heating in the dormitory isn’t great, and it’s quite tough in winter. Wool generates its own heat, and sleeping on it will be really warm..."

Song Yunuan took it and looked it over carefully.

The red checkered cotton wasn’t just not tacky, it even looked upscale.

The stitches were fine and the workmanship was excellent, very suitable for a girl’s use.

Even though she already had several pads of similar use, she still felt a warm glow in her heart.

Looking at Luo Shuxiu, who was gentle and beautiful, with skilled hands, excellent cooking and sewing skills, and a good temperament, being thoughtful in her actions, made Song Yunuan think that her husband, whichever teacher he was, must be blessed.

Song Yunuan happily accepted it, then handed the paper bag in her hand to Luo Shuxiu, "Aunt Xiu, this is for Little Ze, your brother’s clothes."

Luo Shuxiu actually hadn’t noticed that Song Yunuan had changed how she addressed her.

When she saw Song Yunuan take something out, she immediately became anxious and declined without even looking.

"Little Nuan, where would a student like you get the money? It’s still your family supporting you to study, no matter how well-off your home is. Parents earn money through hard work; wait until you have a job and are working, then anything is fine."

Song Yunuan had no choice but to tell her that the tracksuit was a sample made from new fabric produced by her family’s company before she came here.

It was probably going to be launched on the market soon.

This time, Song Yunuan also casually mentioned to Luo Shuxiu that her grandmother and brother had come with her, and her family had bought a house in Beidu.

Her youngest aunt worked at Song and Dance Troupe One, and she had started a company on her side, doing some small trades in her spare time.

There was nothing to hide about these things.

Luo Shuxiu was so stunned that she became speechless.

Is that how it really is?

They actually bought a house here?

You have to know, getting a house these days is not only expensive but also not easy. Without the right connections, you simply can’t buy one.

And what is this "doing some small trades in their spare time"?

Then, out of curiosity, she asked Song Yunuan what her youngest aunt’s name was, and Song Yunuan told her it was Song Ting.

Luo Shuxiu covered her mouth in shock, her eyes wide, and excitedly said, "Ah, so that Song Ting is your youngest aunt? Is she from Nanshan County Town? Oh my, I didn’t know at all. I’ve heard her singing on the radio, and she sings so beautifully. Ah, I really had no idea..."

Normally a reserved and gentle person, she was now excitedly shining with bright eyes.

It seems that being starstruck knows no age nor era.

Song Yunuan just laughed and told her that her grandmother had asked her to pass on a thank-you for the meat sauce and beef jerky she made and then mentioned that they should visit them at home sometime or go out for a meal together when there was time.

Luo Shuxiu hadn’t seen anyone from her hometown in a long time, and her contact with her elder brother and sister was also very limited.

They also had a unit, but they were all temporary workers. Only her elder brother had been made permanent, but he was doing the dirtiest and most tiring job in the machinery factory.

When her brother and his family had come a few years ago, they actually came to see her but were looked down upon by her mother-in-law and youngest sister-in-law.

They made snide remarks, and her elder brother and sister left after just a day.

Thinking of this made Luo Shuxiu very sad, she felt too weak and incapable.

It was her fault that her family got looked down upon.

But what could she do?

For the sake of her son having a Beidu hukou, and for herself to have a home, she had no choice but to endure that family.

But actually, ignoring them and just bearing it was enough to get by.

Besides, apart from some harsh words, there was nothing they could do to her.

After all, insults and complaints wouldn’t cause her to lose a piece of flesh; she could still claim what was hers, unstoppable by anyone.

Who did this house belong to?

Of course, it belonged to her, her husband, and her son.

Her husband’s salary was handed over to her.

She wanted to send things to her brother and sister, her mother-in-law, and youngest sister-in-law couldn’t stop her.

Her mother-in-law had always been angry about this.

It was just that her brother and sister had called and told her not to mail anything; they didn’t lack anything, and she should just take care of herself there.

Yet despite all this, Luo Shuxiu didn’t want Song Yunuan to go to her house and be scrutinized and tested by her mother-in-law and youngest sister-in-law.

She wasn’t stupid and knew that Little Nuan’s family was not the ordinary family she had thought it was.

So she couldn’t let them take advantage.
