"It's all in the past now, everything's over, Old Lu, you just need to look on the bright side. Besides, Yunxiu's already come back from the farm, and he got into our university. With him around, your days can't be too hard."
"That's true, but Yunxiu has changed. I feel like he's very different from before. Whenever I try to talk to him, he's always distracted, especially when I ask about those years he spent doing labor in the Northwest. Yunxiu either stays silent or suddenly says he's got something else to do. Old Li... do you think he's hiding something from me?"
This woman isn't anyone else—she's Shen Yunxiu's mother, last name Lu, first name Xiao.
The person she's talking to is her old colleague, now also a current colleague, last name Li, first name Qinfang, that is Old Lady Li. Both are professors at the university.
"You can't get anything out of him?"
Old Lady Li asked Mrs. Shen.
"Yeah."
Mrs. Shen nodded.
