After eating the hot pot, Su Yu sat cross-legged on the sofa, Huo Ran was washing dishes in the kitchen, Su Yu suddenly remembered something, looked up, and asked, "What did Uncle Fu say today?" ”

There was still the sound of running water in the kitchen, Huo Ran turned his back to Su Yu, the movements of his hands did not stop, and he said lightly: "Uncle Ah Fu did not cancel the entrustment, I signed a contract with him today." ”

Su Yu sighed in his heart: "So, that day was really Uncle Fu's son's thoughts, and he also felt that Aunt Ah Fu had harmed his daughter......"

She was slightly distracted, remembering Uncle Fu's son's words that day, she came back to her senses and smiled: "Xu Cheng and his wife want to cancel the commission, in a certain sense, it is their affirmation of your ability to defend." ”

Huo Ran smiled, he wiped the last bowl, washed his hands, and walked out, holding a glass of milk for Su Yu in his hand.

He sat down next to her, his left hand casually resting on the couch behind her.

Su Yu smiled, got closer, looked at the TV with her eyes, and asked: "Actually, it is also very troublesome to take this kind of case, because it is really a family ......matter" Her voice was slightly low, "However, Uncle Afu is so good, he believes so much that Aunt Afu has never done ......"

"Hmm." Huo Ran took advantage of the situation and hugged her, and he looked at her, "However, now Uncle Ah Fu and Aunt Ah Fu have become our customers." ”

Su Yu tilted her head, understanding what he meant, she bent her eyes, put down the milk in her hand, and gently touched his eyelashes with her fingers, "I know, never trust the party 100%, never sympathize with the party, and firmly believe that it is human instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages." ”

Huo Ran held her hand that touched him indiscriminately, put it to his lips, touched his lips, and smiled: "Tomorrow, let's go to the vicinity of Xu's house to see the situation, and I'll send you back later." His eyebrows moved slightly, "Your dad is at home." ”

"Hmm."

The doorbell suddenly rang outside the door, Huo Ran raised his eyebrows slightly, Su Yu was curious, and when the door opened, Lu Yuzhou threw the briefcase on the sofa, and he also fell into the sofa, leaning lazily.

Su Yu was a little surprised: "Are you still in court today?" ”

"Yes, it's been delayed for too long, and there is a lot of backlog of cases by judges, and it is also for the convenience of the parties, so it has been arranged until today."

Lu Yuzhou looked tired, he grabbed his hair, sat up straight, pulled his suit and tie, and wailed: "This divorce case is too procrastinating, my client is satisfied, the other party is not satisfied, so he appealed again, he had already gone to court, and the former couple almost fought at the door, and took a photo of me, threatening to petition, and reporting me to the Lawyers Association." ”

He suddenly thought of something, and laughed cheaply: "The couple also made trouble in the courtroom, and the judge couldn't stop it, and the judge and I felt very bored and drowsy in the first half of the trial, and then the opposing lawyer said that he wanted to apply to show evidence, and as soon as it was played, it was the video of his client being cuckolded by my client, and the courtroom without mosaics was driving, and I was in good spirits." ”

"Didn't you read it all when you looked at the evidence?" Su Yu laughed, and she asked again, "Have you eaten?" ”

Lu Yuzhou shook his head, and then, he looked at Huo Ran flatteringly: "Ah Ran, Brother Ran!" How about taking me in tonight? One of the students my mom used to donate to is now ...... at my home."

Su Yu understood after thinking about it: "Your mother wants to introduce her to you?" ”

"See through it, don't say it."

It's not the first time Lu Yuzhou has stayed overnight, Huo Ran is about to send Su Yu home, he said: "We ate hot pot tonight, there is nothing to eat, what do you want to eat, cook it yourself, I will send Su Yu home." ”

Lu Yuzhou: "Go, go, go." ”

He feels comfortable making it his home.

Next.

Su Yu got up early, but Aunt Lin's breakfast was almost ready.

Su Yu came down from the staircase, holding his mobile phone in his hand, and was dialing Huo Ran's phone, there were several "beeps" over there, and then Huo Ran's voice sounded, a little low and hoarse: "Su Yu." ”

Su Yu paused: "Did you just wake up?" ”

There was a sound of "squirming" over there, as if he was getting dressed, Huo Ran should have turned on the speakerphone, and his voice seemed a little distant and vague: "Well, I rushed to catch up with the documents last night and slept late." He paused, "It's still half past seven as agreed, I'll pick you up later, and you wait for me at home." ”

Su Yu pursed his lips: "Then you don't eat breakfast again?" She frowned slightly, sandwiched her phone between her shoulders and her head, and tilted her head slightly, "Aunt Lin made breakfast, you wait for me in the apartment, I'll bring it to you." ”

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Huo Ran to reply, she squinted and smiled, and said in a soft voice: "You are not allowed to refute." ”

Huo Ran chuckled, and his magnetic voice was like an invisible hand, gently brushing the strings in Su Yu's mind.

There was a smile in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

Aunt Lin had already heard Su Yu's voice, she had already prepared a lunch box and was packing breakfast, she was holding chopsticks in her hand, she was holding egg rolls and bread, Aunt Lin asked, "Ayu, are you going to eat at home?" Or go over and eat with him? ”

Obviously, Aunt Lin's words were not ambiguous at all, but she didn't say Huo Ran's name, but used "he" instead, which sounded a little sweeter.

Su Yu bent her eyes and walked to Aunt Lin's side, she smiled: "Accompany...... He eats together. She looked around the restaurant outside, didn't see Su Zhiguo, and asked, "Where's Dad?" ”

Aunt Lin sighed and replied softly: "I went on a business trip early in the morning, he is not in good health now, it is really hard to manage such a big company alone, I don't know when Ah Sheng can help him share the ......" Aunt Lin said, she couldn't help but think of Chen Yanze again, she didn't know much about the matter between Su Yu and Chen Yanze, she just simply thought that Su Yu didn't like Chen Yanze, she wanted to speak and stopped, first covered the box, and then took out the thermos bucket to fill the porridge, the movements of her hands didn't stop, and she still couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, Yan Ze is a good child, and he is also a child that my aunt and your mother watched grow up with, and I am good to you, and I don't have any character, whether it is family background or ability, I heard that ...... Your father originally planned to cooperate with the Chen family on several projects, and they all planned to let Yan Ze do it...... You two young people are making a fuss now...... There are problems with the company's cooperation, and the relationship between the two companies is also ......"

Su Yu has always respected her elders, and she has a good temper, so when she heard Aunt Lin's words, she naturally didn't refute it immediately.

She still had a smile on her lips, her eyes slightly lowered, and she listened quietly.

Fortunately, Aunt Lin is not a nagging person, not to mention, she has taken care of Su Yu for so many years, her heart is naturally biased, she stopped her mouth after saying for a while, and said softly: "However, Huo Ran's child himself is not bad, but his background is not worthy of you......" She frowned, and the worry in her eyebrows couldn't be hidden, "He can't help the Su family......"

Su Yu smiled, hooked Aunt Lin's arm, and gently leaned her head on Aunt Lin's shoulder, she whispered coquettishly, but just said: "Huo Ran is very good, Aunt Lin, we will be fine too." ”

Aunt Lin didn't say anything more, and packed the breakfast in three or two clicks and let Su Yu take it away.

*

Because Huo Ran backed up Su Yu's license plate number in the security office a long time ago, Su Yu drove into the community very smoothly, Su Yu is good-looking, Huo Ran is also handsome, the security guard has long remembered Su Yu, he opened the door valve for Su Yu, and smiled kindly: "Come to Lawyer Huo so early?" ”

Su Yu tilted his head and curled his lips: "Yes." ”

"Miss Su, happy Spring Festival."

"So are you."

When Su Yu's car was far away, the security guard was still sighing to the person next to him: "These two people are talented and beautiful, they are really a good match, but Lawyer Huo is lucky, Miss Su is a girl from a big family at first glance, how many years can Lawyer Huo struggle less." ”

Su Yu stood at the door of Huo Ran's apartment, changed the breakfast on his right hand to his left hand, and then entered the password, and with a "ding" sound, the apartment door opened.

Huo Ran had just finished taking a shower.

When Su Yu entered the door, he wore a white bath towel on his shoulders and a simple gray shirt on his upper body, outlining a smooth and powerful body line.

He stood next to the bar, unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, raised his head, and took a sip, his Adam's apple moving slightly, and the lines of his jaw were hard and smooth.

Su Yu walked over and said, "Drinking cold water on an empty stomach will make your stomach uncomfortable." ”

Huo Ran raised his eyebrows, put down the mineral water, and smiled casually: "It's okay." ”

Su Yu walked into the kitchen, she bent down slightly, leaned over, skillfully found a few bowls, and put the breakfast on the plate.

After the two of them finished breakfast, they drove Su Yu's car to Xu Cheng's community.

Xu Cheng lives in an ordinary community, Su Yu and Huo Ran entered the community, found the building, and found that the small park downstairs was full of people in twos and threes, chatting about something.

Huo Ran and Su Yu glanced at each other and walked over.

It's still the year, and there are red ornaments hanging everywhere in the community, and the smell of the New Year is still very heavy, but this group of people is not gathering together to pay New Year's greetings in twos and threes, but is discussing the affairs of Xu Cheng's family.

An aunt frowned: "Sister-in-law Afu is too unkind to do this!" No matter how you say it, it's all a life, it's all your granddaughter! ”

Another aunt shook her head, and then said: "That is to say, it is also my son's child, as the saying goes, tiger poison does not eat children, and Afu's sister-in-law can even do it to her own granddaughter." ”

"Isn't Sister-in-law Afu from the countryside? Although I'm also a bit patriarchal, I'm not like Sister-in-law Afu, I've heard before that she is not good to her eldest granddaughter, she just wants a handle! ”

"Sister-in-law Afu has a bad temper." An aunt was a little sarcastic, "I told you before, she is not a good person, and I was not surprised to see the police come to arrest her that day." She can disguise, when the nanny was first caught by the police, didn't she tell us that she was very happy? Can you finally avenge your little granddaughter? I'm afraid that she was so scared at that time, and sure enough, within a few days, the nanny confessed that she was the mastermind. ”

Someone sighed: "The Xu family is ruined this time, this New Year's Eve has made the family restless, I saw Xu Cheng and his daughter-in-law a few days ago, so haggard, who can accept that it was his mother-in-law who killed his daughter?" And Sister-in-law Ah Fu treated her daughter-in-law badly before......"

"I see that Uncle Ah Fu is still helping Sister-in-law Ah Fu find a lawyer everywhere, Uncle Ah Fu is an honest man, it's a pity ......"

"Xu Cheng shouldn't let Uncle Ah Fu hire a lawyer, right? This kid is caught in the middle, and it's hard for him. ”

Su Yu stood next to her and listened for a while, only to feel that the more she listened, the more her heart sank, she frowned slightly, Sister-in-law Afu's popularity didn't seem to be very good, and she had a more serious patriarchal thought.

To be honest, Su Yu, as a woman, was very resistant to the moment she heard the idea of patriarchy, in China, there are many, many women who are suffering from the poison of patriarchal thinking, in some areas, some women are required to give birth to a boy before marriage, and they are allowed to marry into the man's family; Some girls suffer injustice at home and are asked to drop out of school at an early age to work to support their families; Some women have had many abortions after marriage, and try all kinds of methods to detect whether the child in the womb is male or female, and if it is a girl, they will have frequent abortions until they give birth to a son; There are also girls who are married off by their parents at an early age, have no right to inherit property, and are just a tool that can be exchanged for gift money.

The crease between her eyebrows deepened, her chest pressed down like a big stone, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

The aunts and uncles quickly noticed Huo Ran and Su Yu standing next to them, and an aunt didn't know what she was thinking, and her eyes were a little vigilant: "Who are you?" Are you also a resident of our community? ”

Huo Ran frowned.

Su Yu exhaled a little, smiled slightly, and directly identified his identity: "We are lawyers, and we are here to investigate Sister-in-law Fu's matter." ”

Seeing that Su Yu was good-looking, her voice was gentle, and her tone was not annoying, her aunt didn't murder her anymore, but just asked: "Are you the lawyer who sued Sister-in-law Afu?" ”

Su Yu nodded: "Yes." ”

When an aunt heard this, she smiled: "You are the lawyer that Uncle Fu is looking for?" Her tone was contemptuous, "Uncle Ah Fu is too honest, he has been dragged down by his daughter-in-law all his life, and now he has killed his own granddaughter, and he has to help her find a lawyer everywhere." ”

She said, looked at Su Yu and said, "How much did Uncle Afu give you?" Don't come to lie to him as an honest man, it's impossible to win Sister-in-law's case! If she kills someone, she has to pay for her life, otherwise there will be no heavenly reason! ”

"That's right, come, little girl, you don't know how much dirty things are here, Auntie told you."

This aunt was enthusiastic, and suddenly took one of Su Yu's hands and pulled her in her direction.

Huo Ran looked at Su Yu quietly.

Su Yu smiled, squeezed Huo Ran's hand with his other hand, and then withdrew it from Huo Ran's hand.

She asked, "Auntie, is the relationship between Sister-in-law Ah Fu and her daughter-in-law good?" ”

"The relationship is not good, Sister-in-law Ah Fu will be picky, she complains to us from time to time, saying that her daughter-in-law is a girl in the city, she doesn't do housework, she is busy with work all day long, oppresses her son, and she doesn't want to think about how highly educated and capable other girls are, and there are nannies at home, so why do housework by herself? Of course, the most dissatisfied thing about Sister-in-law Ah Fu is that her daughter-in-law only gave birth to a girl. ”

The aunt next to her added: "A few years ago, didn't the country open up the second child? Xu Cheng eats public meals again, and there is no way to have a second child, but Afu's sister-in-law is in a hurry, she is sour every day, and we often hear her scolding her daughter-in-law - a chicken that does not lay eggs. ”

"Sister-in-law Ah Fu is patriarchal but our community is famous, she wanted to raise a boy of the same clan last time, saying that it was to inherit the incense of their Xu family, she said, the little girl is someone else's after all."

As soon as the aunt finished speaking, the rest of the people laughed.

"It's ridiculous, where do other people's children have their own children? Speaking of which, Xu Cheng's eldest girl is often angry with Sister-in-law Fu, what she wants is a grandson, where will she be good to the girl? ”

Su Yu didn't speak, but kept looking at the aunt with dark eyes, which inexplicably made people feel her approval and encouragement.

The aunt was interested and continued: "However, isn't the country opening up the second child? Sister-in-law Ah Fu was happy during that time, and wanted her daughter-in-law to conceive another child, but Xu Cheng and his daughter-in-law were at a turning point in their careers, and they didn't want to get pregnant and lose the opportunity. ”

Su Yu asked softly, "And then?" ”

"Sister-in-law Ah Fu asked us where to test the sex of the baby, not to mention that it is illegal, even Xu Cheng and his daughter-in-law can't agree, everyone is highly educated. So it didn't test later, but Sister-in-law Ah Fu didn't give up, and went to a fortune teller to calculate the sex of the fetus, and also used various home remedies, all of which were boys. ”

"It's a pity...... The baby girl was still born. Su Yu pursed his lips and said softly.

"yes." The aunt was also a little embarrassed, "I heard that Sister-in-law Ah Fu is also very dissatisfied with the girls at home, and she feels that she can't raise her head in front of her relatives, and she will be scolded for cutting off the incense, and her daughter-in-law hasn't even sat down well in confinement." ”

Su Yu's eyelashes fluttered, and his chest was stuffy.

The aunt looked left and right, and suddenly approached Su Yu mysteriously, and lowered her voice: "Do you know? Not long after Sister-in-law Afu's youngest granddaughter died, someone saw Sister-in-law Afu go to the fortune teller again, saying that as long as their old Xu family has the life of a baby boy, as long as her daughter-in-law is pregnant again, she will definitely get a man in one fell swoop! ”

Another aunt pouted: "I don't doubt at all that Sister-in-law Ah Fu did it, she wants a grandson, as soon as her little granddaughter has an accident, Xu Cheng and his wife can legally have another child, Xu Cheng's daughter-in-law just lost her daughter, and she is sad, she is an old woman forcing others to have another one." ”
