C75 His Parents Sold Their Daughter to Grandma

"[Indeed needs to be further confirmed]"

Su Huai nodded and conveniently took Lin Jia's handbag. Mmm, the sense of security was even greater. He firmly believed that even if she was unwilling, she wouldn't abandon his luggage.

Lin Jia's sigh seemed to have become much louder, "I'm going back to where Granny originally lived tonight. It's not in the city, it's a small town that needs a bus to reach. It'll take three and a half hours to get there, so. . . You really have to think it through, if you're wrong, you'll have to come with me for nothing. . . It's nothing if you go back and forth, but if that's the case, you really won't have time to find true love. "

"It's the true love of my grandfather. " Su Huai corrected.

"In any case, it's fine as long as you consider it properly. " Lin Jia didn't seem to care and didn't continue this topic.

After getting on the bus, Lin Jia chose a seat at the back, wrapped herself in clothes, and slept by the window.

Su Huai sat beside her for a very long time and didn't do anything for a long time. He only stared blankly at her tired and thin face.

The car jolted and Lin Jia's body swayed as well. Her body lost its balance and she smashed in his direction.

Su Huai spread out his arm and prepared a position for her. He only waited for her to stick close to him before he would take advantage of the opportunity to adjust her entire comfortable sleeping position and generously distribute her chest to her to sleep.

Right before she was about to get close to him, the car suddenly shook uncontrollably once again. Lin Jia's body naturally swayed, and then she fell back to her original position. She continued to sleep by the window without a care in the world.

Su Huai's brows deeply knitted together.

He quietly waited for a few minutes, but the bus passed through the bumpy road just now and steadily moved forward.

Su Huai pursed his lower lip, and in the next second, his large hand directly stretched out and wrapped around Lin Jia's neck, pulling her into his embrace. It was precisely the posture he was looking forward to. As expected, Lin Jia's thin body was very suitable for his outline, and the two of them squeezed together instantly felt a lot of warmth.

Even his bad mood also eased up quite a bit.

The long journey that he did not know when it would come to an end did not seem to be so hard to accept.

Su Huai closed his eyes and decided to sleep with her for a while.

- - -

Perhaps it was because she was afraid of the countryside, and the environment that she was getting more and more familiar with aroused the deepest memories that were suppressed in Lin Jia's heart.

When she was sleeping in the car in a daze, she actually had a very clear dream. In the dream, Grandma sat at the old table in the living room. She was seriously sewing a picture when Lin Jia saw herself sitting beside her grandmother when she was 12 or 13 years old. At that time, her face was filled with reluctance. While her grandmother was not paying attention, she hid a few colored threads and pretended as if nothing had happened. . .

Grandma said, "Jiajia, don't mess around. "

When Lin Jia heard the familiar voice, she could not help but cry.

She began to realize that what she saw and heard was just a dream.

But even if it was a dream, it was still good!

Ever since Grandma passed away, she rarely dreamed of her. Occasionally, she would see blurry figures, but they were always very far away from her. No, not to mention hearing Grandma's voice. It was simply an impossible wish.

"Grandma. . . " Lin Jia wanted to shout, but she was horrified to find that something seemed to be stuck in her throat. She could not make a sound, so she could not let her grandmother notice her existence.

The more anxious Lin Jia was, the more tears she shed.

At this moment, a slightly hot hand covered her face and gently caressed it.

"Lin Jia, did you have a nightmare? Wake up, wake up. "

That man's voice? It's Su Huai's voice?

When Lin Jia realized this, the control of her body suddenly returned to her hand.

Lin Jia opened her eyes, and two streams of tears flowed down along with the flow.

She stared blankly at Su Huai, and for a moment, she still hadn't reacted to where she was.

Su Huai explained somewhat awkwardly, "There was a very bumpy road just now. You fell over towards me and fell asleep leaning on me. Seeing how tired you were, I didn't have the face to push you away. "

When he said this, Lin Jia realized that she was sleeping in his embrace.

Instantly, it was as if she had been electrocuted. She sat up straight and tidied her messy hair.

Su Huai had already taken out a tissue from his jacket and handed one to her, indicating for her to wipe the tears on her eyes.

"What did you dream about? You're crying so sadly. Look, your tears are all over my clothes. "

Looking towards the direction he pointed, Lin Jia saw a pool of tears that had been dyed black. It was right below his arm, where she had been leaning on just now.

Her cheeks were obviously red and hot. She pretended not to know anything. "I don't remember. "

"You really don't remember?" Su Huai obviously didn't believe her.

"There's no need for me to lie to you about this sort of thing, right? If you don't remember, then it means you don't remember. Isn't it very normal for you to not remember things in your dreams after waking up?" Lin Jia thought that at this moment, she had to act righteously.

The more frank and frank she was, the easier it would be for her to pass the test.

Don't be cowardly, it's fine.

Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Su Huai didn't continue asking. The place she had slept on still had a heavy pressure, and the remaining fragrance of her hair was faintly discernible. He had smelled it for a long time. It was as if it could cause one to be possessed.

Su Huai raised his hand and rubbed his shoulder.

"I'll be there in half an hour. Look over there, there's light. That's our destination. " Lin Jia pointed in a direction.

The light she was talking about was just a light spot in the darkness, the size of a pinhole, scattered all over the place. Obviously, the town was still far away.

"Before, when you came back, you only took the bus after you got on the plane, from morning to night?" Su Huai asked in a soft voice.

"I. . . " The words that came out of her mouth suddenly stopped. She tightly pursed her lips, and her lips emitted a faint white color because of that great force.

Su Huai's unintentional question touched upon the deepest and deepest past that she had buried in the depths of her heart.

"Hmm?" Su Huai was waiting for her to answer, and he lowered his head to look at her when he didn't hear anything for a long time.

What he saw was only Lin Jia's side profile, 30% desolate, 70% sad.

That was an expression that she had never seen before in her vivid and energetic memories.

Su Huai was surprised, and he didn't dare believe what his eyes saw. When he went to look again, he discovered that he couldn't find anything at all.

"Lin Jia?" Suddenly, he very much wanted to pull her over like earlier and hug her with all his might. If he did this, would she feel a little better and not be so sad anymore?

This was not like her at all.

"I. . . Haven't been back for a long time. . . " Lin Jia sniffled. Her red eyes were like a rabbit that had been bullied. She looked at him pitifully. "After Grandma passed away, my career also welcomed an upsurge in HMH. My work has always been very busy. "

There were no people in the town that she cared about. She only came back to see them and felt sad. Why did she come back?

"You won't. . . " Su Huai's voice rose up high and swiftly disappeared without any hesitation.

Lin Jia's heart tightened.

"Why is your mood so bad all of a sudden? It can't be that you haven't returned for too long and can't remember how to go to your grandmother's house, and you're too embarrassed to say it out loud, so you're anxious all by yourself, right?" Su Huai's eyes carried a complaint.

Lin Jia:. . .

"There should be a hotel in the small town, right?" Su Huai asked seriously.

Lin Jia was speechless.

"Without a hotel, there should be small hotels, small hotels, and other places. It's fine as long as we can temporarily deal with them for a night and not end up on the streets. " Su Huai was extremely nervous.

As if he utterly didn't notice that Lin Jia didn't want to take up this sort of boring topic, he allowed Lin Jia to speak to herself, but he was unwilling to open his mouth to reply.

"I thought that by following you, I wouldn't have to worry about anything, and I wouldn't have to worry about anything. " Su Huai sighed. "I never expected that it would be unreliable. "

Lin Jia:!!

What was with this sudden feeling of wanting to fly into a rage?

The violent impulse to attack without warning was overwhelming. There was only one thought in her mind, and that was to give a fierce blow to a man who did not know what was good for him.

Su Huai utterly didn't notice that he was already in danger and was fiercely hated by others.

After he finished muttering, he raised his hand and seized the opportunity to grab onto Lin Jia's slender shoulder, and then hugged her tightly as a sign of comfort.

"Forget it, you don't have to be especially worried. I'm not here, but there's a big man who's 1. 86 meters tall by your side. Even if bad people want to do bad things, they have to consider whether they have that kind of strength. "

Lin Jia silently glared at him.

"Besides, as a bad person, when you plan to do evil, you still need to have basic eyesight. Who would pick a fierce woman who looks like she's not to be trifled with. . . "

Before he could finish his words, he let out a cry of pain.

Su Huai covered the spot where his elbow was in intense pain and muttered without fear of death, "With your strength, even three rogues together wouldn't be able to gain an advantage. "

"You still want to say it!?" Lin Jia raised her fist and shook it at him.

Su Huai immediately shut his mouth and remained silent.

However, after this small dispute, Lin Jia's mood was clearly much better. In his eyes, the fuming girl was full of spirit and spirit, and it was countless times stronger than her dazed appearance just now.

He was more used to seeing Lin Jia who was full of vigor.

The bus wobbled and turned 90 degrees to approach the town.

At the first stop, two-thirds of the passengers on the bus alighted. Su Huai had originally stood up as well, but Lin Jia sat firmly and did not move. Of course, she did not have the intention of stopping him.

He swore in his heart that he did not have any sense of brotherhood. He bent his legs and sat back down.

At the second stop, only him and her were left in the car. The driver turned his head and looked at them, then silently drove the car towards the depths of the town.

The third stop was also the final stop.

"Get out of the car in front. " Lin Jia responded.

"Okay. " Su Huai tidied his jacket and heard the voice of the girl beside him.

She said, "Thank you. "

Who knew what she was thanking? Perhaps she had guessed that he had interrupted her on purpose just now to change her mood without batting an eyelid?

Perhaps.

- - -

The town's streetlights were dim and dim, barely illuminating the night.

The bluestone paved on the ground was full of bumps and hollows, so he had to pay special attention to them. Otherwise, he could step into the air at any time.

On the side of the road, there was flowing river water that produced splashing sounds.

It seemed like time had always been still in the town. Although it had been many years since he left, there hadn't been much change here. He didn't need to think, he just needed to follow his memories and find his way home.

Su Huai carried his suitcase with one hand and followed by Lin Jia's side.

He discovered that after getting off the bus, Lin Jia had never spoken again.

Lin Jia quickly walked to the end of the limestone road and stopped. She stood in front of a vintage house and raised her head. She looked at the branches and leaves of the trees that had grown crazily in the courtyard and lightly let out a breath.

"Is this the place?" Su Huai followed her line of sight and looked over with some doubt.

"Yes. " Lin Jia took out a string of keys from her bag, the type that had a sense of age. She stepped onto the stone steps and found the keyhole.

The wooden door made a creaking sound. With a light push, the door opened.

"Be careful. It has been a long time since anyone has lived here. There will be a lot of moss growing on the stone slab. It is very slippery to step on. "

After Lin Jia's reminder, Su Huai immediately staggered and almost slipped.

She smiled. "Don't move while standing. I'll go pull the switch. It'll be better if I turn on the light. "

"I'll go with you. " Su Huai piled up his luggage and backpack at the door and followed behind Lin Jia.

This house was built in an ancient style, and it was pitch black at night. Even a grown man would feel a little creeped out if he stayed here, and he wasn't at ease. Lin Jia went in and out alone.

However, Lin Jia clearly did not care about these. This was the house that she had grown up in, and there was a sense of closeness in her bones.

She closed her eyes and knew what to do.

The moment the lights lit up, the strange atmosphere surrounding the old residence quickly dissipated. The house was already very old, but it was not as bad as she had imagined. It had been a long time since it had been popular, and there was dust everywhere. There was also a heavy moldy smell.

"Go out and turn right. There's a small hotel 1,000 meters ahead. It costs 60 dollars a night. You can go there and stay there. " Lin Jia was using a ladle to scoop water into the hotel as she spoke.

Su Huai stood at the side with his hands behind his back, looking left and right. He was very interested in the things inside the house.

"What? You intend to tear down the bridge after crossing the river and chase people out to close the door?"

Lin Jia smiled, "I'm afraid you won't be used to living here. "

"I'm used to it. " Su Huai said this and turned around to leave.

When he arrived at the door, he carried all his luggage in and watched Lin Jia sweep and wipe the room. Su Huai walked around the courtyard and then went to Lin Jia's place to get the key. He patiently went to the keyhole and opened all the rooms to ventilate them.

After being busy for several hours, he finally tidied up the master's room and guest room.

Lin Jia boiled water and made two cups of lemon tea. She handed a cup to Su Huai and said, "This kind of tea will not affect your sleep. Drink it without worry. "

"This is where you lived since young? There was a river at the entrance, and there were trees in the courtyard. It was far from the bustling city and returned to nature. It was very good. " Su Huai was tall and sat on a wooden chair. His legs were always unable to stretch to their heart's content. He didn't mind as he held it up and looked like he was enjoying himself. He drank the tea cup with relish.

"When I was young, I never felt that this place was very good. Granny's discipline is very strict. Get up at 5: 30 in the morning and rest at 10: 30 in the evening. Other than going to school, the rest of the time was packed. I'm not familiar with any of the neighbors' children. When children of the same age are playing outside, I do things that I can't finish every day, lessons that I can't finish. If I can't finish my punishment, at that time, I. . . The only thought in my mind is to study hard, get into a first-rate university, and then leave this place. It would be best if I never came back. " Lin Jia smiled as she chatted. From her tone, it sounded very relaxed. It was as if she was joking.

"Your grandmother is so strict?" Su Huai asked in surprise.

"She doesn't want to spend the rest of her life studying a lost craft and still can't find a suitable successor, so she has her eyes on me. " The deceased had passed away. Lin Jia obviously didn't want to give too much of an evaluation. "People only have motivation to realize that they have endless potential. I am just a kid from the most ordinary school in the 18th line city, my intelligence is average. . . My level is limited, but in the end, I scored quite a dazzling result. I immediately went to the best university in Beijing, and from then on, the sky was bright and the birds were flying. The sea was wide and the fish was able to jump. This story tells us. . . As long as the results are good, the process can be ignored. "

She casually chatted while Su Huai listened attentively, even if it was just a conversation without any actual content.

"What about you? I heard that you went abroad to study at a very young age? You must have been to many different places and seen many different sceneries. Your daily life must be very interesting, right?" Lin Jia was looking forward to it.

Su Huai sat at the intersection of light and shadow, and the expression on his face could not be seen very clearly.

He smiled as he looked around and said to himself, "Can going abroad to study be a natural and wonderful life?"

"Could it be that it isn't?" Lin Jia nodded as if it was a matter of course.

"It varies from person to person. " Su Huai didn't answer directly, "That's right, why do you live with Granny? Where's your father and mother? I'm busy with work, so I don't have time to take you? "

" That's not true. " Speaking of this, Lin Jia's face once again revealed a depressed expression. "My parents are too poor, so after thinking about it at night, they sold me out in order to improve the life in their family. "

Su Huai laughed in spite of himself, "You're joking, right?"

"It's not a joke. " Lin Jia held it in her hands. She gently blew away the heat from the teacup and sipped on it.

He f * cking left the town and returned to town. The slightly cold and hard temperament that she had developed in the workplace naturally disappeared without a trace.

After changing into a casual jacket, her long hair naturally hung loosely on her shoulders. She looked like a female student who was still studying at university. No matter how she looked at it, it was very comfortable.

"You've always lived here, where did you get sold?" He only thought that she was joking.

"Because the buyer is my grandmother! My grandmother took out her savings to fund my father's business and helped my mother get a new job. She sponsored my family to buy a house, and as the only condition in exchange, I had to live in a small town with my grandma since I was a child. I can't go home, everything is up to Grandma to decide. My parents had no right to interfere. " This was the first time Lin Jia had mentioned this matter to an outsider. She didn't know what had happened today. She had suddenly forgotten about setting up defenses in front of Su Huai, so she naturally said it out loud.

Su Huai:. . .

I'm sorry, the relationship is slightly chaotic, and he was unable to understand what Lin Jia was saying for a time.

"My grandmother treats me pretty well. She taught me a lot and didn't treat me unfairly in life. She's just a little stubborn. " She wholeheartedly wanted to decide her future life for her. She spent more than ten years trying to turn her into what she imagined.

Unfortunately, he still failed in the end.
