Chapter 9 Everyone likes you, especially my mother

Lin Han could only bite the bullet and continue:
"Dad, Mom... I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth. A few months ago, Liu Xiaoxiao and I broke up..."

Lin Han took a deep breath and told the story from the time he broke up with Liu Xiaoxiao to when he went on a blind date for Zhou Fan yesterday and accidentally met Jiang Mengyan.

"...I know I was wrong in this matter. I made Mengyan suffer a lot in the past few months.

But now, since God has given me this opportunity to let her come back to me, I will definitely take responsibility and take good care of Mengyan and the two children."

Lin Han finished speaking in one breath, raised his head and looked at Lin Guodong and Zhao Qiuhong, and found that their expressions were unusually calm.

It's not the kind of calmness that occurs when there are no waves in a well, but the calmness before a storm.

"Whether you can take good care of Xiaoyan or not, how to take good care of her is another matter. You know what to do now."

Zhao Qiuhong spoke, her voice filled with uncontrollable anger.

"……I know."

Lin Han stood up resignedly and stood facing the wall.

"Facing the wall and reflecting on one's mistakes" is considered a tradition of the Lin family.

When a child makes a mistake, he should reflect on it facing the wall.

Of course, small mistakes are just facing the wall.

If you commit a serious mistake, in addition to facing the wall, you must also follow the "family rules".

Not only he as a son, but even his sister Lin Yue could not escape this.

Lin Han remembered the last time he was beaten. It was when he was a child and didn’t know any better and he joined his classmates in bullying a classmate who came from a poor family.

To put it nicely, it was bullying; to put it bluntly in today's terms, it was harassment.

That time, because he had no sense of right and wrong, Lin Han was beaten so hard that his buttocks were swollen for more than half a month.

This time...it's even worse than before.

Lin Guodong and Zhao Qiuhong didn't say anything. They stood up and went back to their room to get something.

After a while, Lin Han felt something coming towards him:
"Today, I will beat you to death for Xiaoyan, you ignorant thing!"

"I've grown up in vain, but all the books I read have gone to waste!"

Lin Han gritted his teeth and refused to say a word.

He did it and made the mistake, he has no excuse.

In the past few months, Jiang Mengyan has suffered so much while carrying the child alone, not to mention the labor pain she will have to go through in the future.

Even after getting beaten up like that, I'm afraid I can't even understand one tenth of what she feels.

It should be.

The storm continued until the broom in Zhao Qiuhong's hand broke.

"Dad, Mom, you two are old, don't get angry, it's not good for your health."

Lin Han turned around and looked at Lin Guodong and Zhao Qiuhong, who were still angry.
“I did something inhumane and I deserve to be beaten, but beating me won’t solve all the problems.

This time I want to tell you the truth about Meng Yan. I have already made up my mind to take responsibility for her and the baby in her belly, so I want to discuss this with you two."

Lin Han endured the burning pain in his back and spoke.

Lin Guodong threw the belt in his hand aside, sat down on the sofa, and glanced at Lin Han:
"Why don't you tell me how you are going to take responsibility? You are still a student yourself!"

“After I met Meng Yan last night, I found that the security conditions in Hanhai Garden where she lives are too poor.

Plus, she started working at our school, so today I rented a new house for her at Bishuiyuan next to the school.

I paid the money. I also earned some money by working part-time in the past two years.

I came home after I bought some things for the new house and made all the arrangements.

I told her that I would take her to the Municipal Maternal and Child Health Hospital tomorrow to set up a file for a pregnancy test, and to meet my sister at the same time."

After Lin Han said this, Lin Guodong and Zhao Qiuhong's expressions eased a little.

"This is still a human thing to do."

Zhao Qiuhong muttered softly.

"What about the future? You don't think you can support two children by working, right? Or are you going to let Xiaoyan continue to work with the children and she will support you?" Although Lin Guodong's expression softened a little, his tone was still cold and hard.

"I know that the money I earn from part-time jobs and work-study programs is definitely not enough to support Mengyan and the two children.

Mengyan has just been transferred to Tunghai University. She wants to continue working and not interrupt her career because of the child. I will definitely not force her to be a full-time mother, as that would be more difficult.

It’s a coincidence...the professor who previously taught our group of graduate students passed away due to illness, and Mengyan is the new professor who replaced him.

I am now in my first year of graduate school and can apply to be a professor's assistant, which is just right for me to be Mengyan's teaching assistant.

In this way, I can not only have an extra income, but also share some of her work and take care of her more conveniently.

Moreover, if nothing unexpected happens during the period of teaching assistantship, you can basically stay on campus to work after graduation.

The house we rented is also very close to the school, so when Mengyan gets older or the baby is born, it will be very convenient for me to rush home to take care of her.”

Hearing this, Lin Guodong let out a long sigh:
"You are thoughtful and considerate. Now go back to your room. I need to discuss your Aunt Yan's... Xiaoyan's matter with your mother."

Lin Han nodded and turned back to his room.

Although Lin Guodong and Zhao Qiuhong did not make a clear statement, Lin Han knew that he had probably passed this hurdle.

Marrying a daughter-in-law and having grandchildren are top priorities in the family.

When it comes to taking care of Jiang Mengyan's details, Lin Han may be able to do it in every detail.

But when it comes to such an important event as marriage, only the older generation has the experience and knows how to do things beautifully so that no one can find fault with them.

Therefore, it is necessary to discuss more.

Lin Han lay on the bed and felt the burning sensation where he had been beaten by the belt and broom.

You don't need to look to know that it should have become swollen and red and purple.

However, Lin Guodong and Zhao Qiuhong knew how to control their actions. Although it hurt, there were no problems with the tendons and bones. The superficial injuries would heal after a few days of recovery.

Lin Han took out his phone and saw the message from Jiang Mengyan as expected:
[Have you arrived home yet? Your parents...what did they say? Have you shown them my photo?]

After adding him as a friend, this was the first text message Jiang Mengyan sent him.

In order to separate life and work, the account that sent the message to Lin Han was Jiang Mengyan's private account.

Looking at that cute pink bunny avatar, it is really hard to imagine that on the other side of the dialog box is the ice goddess called "the devil" by students.

After hearing Lin Han say that he was going home to inform his parents about this matter, Jiang Mengyan specially picked out a few of her most satisfying life photos and sent them to Lin Han before leaving.

In the photo, Jiang Mengyan smiles sweetly and is gentle. No one can resist the charm in her eyes.

But... I've seen my parents in person so many times, photos are actually useless.

[Don't worry, they all like you very much, especially my mother. ]

Lin Han replied.

In a sense, this makes sense.

After all, she’s been my best friend for many years, how can I not like her?
[Then...did they give you any trouble? From what you said before, I felt that your parents were very strict...]

Difficult?

Lin Han touched his hot butt.

It shouldn't be too difficult to just give him a beating and turn the page.

[No, once they saw your photo and heard me talk about your situation, they all liked you so much that they would never make things difficult for me.]

【That's good. 】

Seeing the message sent by Lin Han, Jiang Mengyan breathed a sigh of relief.

If two people are together and considering marriage, family support is very important.

Jiang Mengyan was very worried that these two children who came because of a "one-night stand" would be despised by Lin Han's family, and she was even more afraid that Lin Han's parents would think that he was a casual person.

So after Lin Han returned home, she was always worried.

I just couldn't help it and sent a message to ask Lin Han's parents what their impression of me was.

Seeing Lin Han's reply, Jiang Mengyan finally felt a little relieved.
