Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 392: The Admission Notices Have Arrived

When they returned, they had considered whether to tell Jiajia about the old house. However, seeing her fiery temper, they were afraid she might attract the attention of the Discipline Inspection Office, so they decided against bringing it up.

It wasn’t really an old house; it was just a place they had bought in their youth. However, some valuable antiques were buried beneath it, which would surely become worth something in the future. Yet, more than money, it was most important for the family to be together in peace.

"The Discipline Inspection Office will post a notice in the next couple of days, asking those who want to return to register for their old houses. But this is actually a scheme by people from Jingdu City, in collusion with Yin Zhenglin, to track us down. We don’t need to worry about it. Once we deal with the people and issues from Jingdu City, we can reclaim the old house," Su Yijia explained.

Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin listened, bewildered. "We have a grudge against Yin Zhenglin, but how does this involve people from Jingdu City?" they asked nervously. To them, Jingdu City was the imperial capital; ordinary folk like them had no business there.

"That man who abandoned his wife and child years ago is now in Jingdu City..."

"If we didn’t go looking for him, why would he dare come looking for us?!" Grandma Lin exploded before Su Yijia could finish.

"It’s uncertain whether it was him, but it’s definitely his current wife behind it. As for what he and that woman are up to, Kaize’s friends are still investigating. For now, we need to keep a low profile," Su Yijia didn’t hide anything and explained everything in detail.

She even included all the speculations she and Qin Kaize had discussed.

Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin seemed overwhelmed by the complexity of it all, their bodies shaking.

Despite this, Su Yijia felt no regret. She quickly took out some Functional Restoration Elixir for them to drink to calm their nerves.

"So your dad was also forced into it back then?" Grandpa Lin’s old face twisted with concern as he asked gravely.

"He’s not my dad," Su Yijia firmly denied. "No matter what reasons he had for leaving, or why he hasn’t come back all these years, you went to the farm for twenty years because of him. My mom had an accident while giving birth to me because of him, and I suffered for twenty years away from my biological parents. Just because we worked hard to overcome all the bad things and turned our suffering into stable, happy lives, we cannot forgive him. No matter the reason, I will never forgive him in this lifetime."

Moreover, it wasn’t just about the life of her original mother; her original self had long since passed away. She had no right to forgive anyone on behalf of the dead.

Even if that person had the greatest reasons and offered countless compensations, it wouldn’t matter. The suffering belonged to the deceased, while she enjoyed the good life.

What right did she have to pity or sympathize with the perpetrator?

"Exactly! No forgiveness! No matter what reasons he has, we will never forgive him!" Grandma Lin’s attitude immediately became resolute.

Not hearing Grandpa Lin’s agreement, she angrily turned to him and pushed him. "Old man, listen to me! You must not go soft-hearted! No matter what, our family will never forgive that scoundrel, got it?"

"Understood, I definitely won’t forgive him either." Grandpa Lin quickly gathered his thoughts and voiced his agreement.

The world may have many uncontrollable circumstances, but they had managed to live their lives this way; what was wrong with being a bit selfish? Besides, his daughter was gone forever!

Seeing that they had finally united in their stance, Su Yijia felt the tension in her chest ease.

Just as she and Qin Kaize had anticipated, early the next morning, the Discipline Inspection Office posted notices asking everyone to come register for their old houses.

The place was immediately surrounded by people.

Qin Kaize’s contacts quickly returned with news. Just as they suspected, there were people lurking in the shadows outside the crowd, secretly watching.

From their appearances, they looked fierce and intimidating, clearly not to be trifled with.

This revelation left Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin extremely upset and scared. For a long time afterward, they couldn’t even think of going out to buy groceries.

Even when Su Yijia went out, they were worried sick.

Fortunately, Su Yijia didn’t have much to do, so she stayed home quietly. Moreover, this man who had just started enjoying meat acted like a starving ghost, not able to settle down for even a day.

She could barely get up before lunch, and that was just to save face.

After lunch, she had to go back and catch up on two or three hours of sleep.

From around three in the afternoon until nine at night was the only time she could actually move around.

The rest of the time, she either rested or acted like a frying fish. Thankfully, the business of selling things in the black market was handled by Qin Kaize and Gao Huabin, so she didn’t have to worry.

Life went on at a leisurely pace for over a month, and as December approached, the admission notices finally arrived.

"Are Qin Kaize and Su Yijia here?"

The mailman shouted at the door while riding his bicycle.

"Here!"

Qin Kaize, who was chopping wood in the yard, set down his axe and rushed to the door.

The mailman’s face immediately broke into a bright smile. "Congratulations! Both of you got into college! Here are your admission notices, and you need to sign for them." He pulled out two slightly thick envelopes from his bag and handed them to Qin Kaize.

Normally calm, he couldn’t help but show a hint of joy in front of others.

"Thank you." He took the pen, signed his name in the register, and accepted the two envelopes from the mailman.

Turning back to the yard, he found not only Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin standing behind him, but even Su Yijia, who had been taking a nap upstairs, had rushed over, looking at him eagerly.

Su Yijia had a good idea of what scores they might have and which schools they would enter.

But for such a joyous occasion, the atmosphere had to be built up nicely.

"Look at you rushing around without worrying about the cold." Qin Kaize frowned as he handed the envelopes to Grandma Lin, then walked over to Su Yijia, helping her button her wool coat.

He then squatted down and fastened the heel of her slippers before standing up again.

Grandma Lin and Grandpa Lin, trembling as they opened the envelopes, pulled out admission notices printed with the names of the universities, and their tears of excitement overflowed instantly.

"They got in! You both got in! To the schools you wanted! Thank you, ancestors for your blessings!" Grandma Lin clasped her hands, holding the admission notices close, repeatedly bowing to the sky.

Qin Kaize, not in a hurry, stood quietly beside Su Yijia, holding her hand as they waited for their emotions to settle down.
