Married to a Disabled Man in the 70’s

“This will be your home from now on. Don’t be polite, do whatever you want.” Ji Ya was in charge of entertaining them, while Song Huaijin smiled and watched from the side.

Su Jiaojiao and Song Qinghan both nodded, “We will.”

Ji Ya smiled happily, and she was even more excited than before, “Jiaojiao, Qinghan, come look at your room. We’ve prepared everything for you…”

The two nodded obediently and followed behind her.

This was a two-storey house, and their room was on the second floor. It looked warm and inviting. Inside was a large cabinet full of clothes for both Song Qinghan and Su Jiaojiao.

These clothes looked like the ones Ji Ya usually wore but were younger and more vibrant. They were clearly bought from a department store.

There was also a desk and a bathroom in the room.

Although they only had a single room to themselves, it was a huge room.

Ji Ya spoke like she was giving them a gift, “We connected two rooms and made this because we want you to have the best room possible. Jiaojiao, do you like it? If there’s anything you need, you can tell me, and there’ll probably be something in the house.”

Su Jiaojiao shook her head quickly, “Nothing’s missing. This was much better than I expected.”

She looked at the closet with some pain. How much did all these clothes cost? She would prefer to use the money to buy cooking ingredients. Of course, Song Qinghan is the one doing the actual work while Su Jiaojiao instructed him.

Ji Ya said, “That’s good. I’ve prepared money and vouchers for you in the desk drawer. You can buy whatever you want. If you don’t have enough money, just tell me. ”

Song Qinghan’s expression softened a lot, as he didn’t expect them to be so thorough. However, he also felt a little unnatural since he never accepted money from others for nothing. “Thank you, but we have money.”

Ji Ya shook her head disapprovingly, “That’s different. This is the money we should give you. If there’s money at home, there’ll be less to worry about. Don’t forget that your father is a factory’s boss, and I’m part of the wife’s association. Both of us have good jobs.

Song Qinghan frowned and wanted to say something, but Su Jiaojiao’s soft little hand secretly tugged at him and motioned for him to keep quiet.

Su Jiaojiao smiled and said softly, “He has never been treated like this since he was a child, so he felt a little unnatural. Don’t worry, I’ll help him adapt!”

When Ji Ya remembered those things again, her eyes turned red and she said softly, “It’s okay, I understand, well… I’m going to cook, you guys take a break or go walk around.”

Ji Ya said a few more words and was about to leave.

When she walked to the door, she seemed to think of something and said, “Since he’s no longer here, we should probably change his room to become a storage room.”

After Ji Ya closed the door, Su Jiaojiao relaxed. She moved her arms quite unnaturally, sat on the side of the bed, and whispered, “I still don’t really like it.”

Song Qinghan thought her shoulders were sore and silently walked behind her to massage her shoulders, “We can go back.”

“No.” Su Jiaojiao shook her head, “They look forward to you coming to live with them. They love you.”

Song Qinghan fell silent.

Su Jiaojiao turned her head in confusion and saw that he was still a little dazed. But it wasn’t because he couldn’t understand, but rather because he wasn’t willing to accept it.

Song Qinghan said softly, “But, I’ve grown up already.” [1]

Su Jiaojiao remembered his previous experiences and immediately understood. A little bit sad, she knelt on the bed and hugged him, saying distressedly, “Growing up doesn’t prevent you from experiencing the love of your parents! Besides, parents never think their children have grown up. Look at my parents. They were so worried about us going to leave to the city!”

Song Qinghan hugged her soft waist with sour eyes. When he thought of the scene where they left for the city, he naturally understood.

But he felt unnatural whenever he accepted something from Ji Ya and Song Huaijin. After all, he could already earn money.

Seeing that he hadn’t spoken, Su Jiaojiao lowered her head and met his gaze. She suddenly smiled as she figured out how to deal with him.

Armos D. Platypus: Wait, so Su Jiaojiao’s parents won’t be in the picture anymore? Is that what this means?

[1] Sounds like something someone who never had a chance to grow up would say.
