Huang Xiaoju hurried out of the house and stood before the middle-aged man, muttering a few words with her head down. The middle-aged man looked up into the house. Suihe raised his head and met his gaze, staring at the middle-aged man until he was quickly defeated. Then he and Huang Xiaoju left. Suihe quickly went to the yard and locked the gate from the inside, then climbed over the wall and ran towards the village chief's house.

A few years ago, when their comrades died, several members of their team came here and stayed at the village chief's house, so Suihe still remembered how to get there.

He quickly ran to the village chief's house and saw that the door was open. Just as he was about to enter the yard, he heard the voice of a middle-aged man from inside. Suihe quickly hid behind the wall to listen to what the middle-aged man said.

"Uncle, my second brother said that as long as that old woman dies and the house is in Xiaoju's name, we will hold a banquet. Just now, a damn comrade of his came and saved that old woman. It seems that she won't die again in the next two days. My second brother also said that when we hold the banquet, he would take the opportunity to let you sit at the main table and introduce you to the big shots from the province." This was the voice of a middle-aged man.

"Who's here?" The voice belonged to the village chief, and Suihe remembered it.

"Sun Yonggeng's captain, Captain Jiang." Huang Xiaoju replied.

"Captain Jiang, I remember now. He has been here before and seemed to have stayed at my house. Why did he come here suddenly? Didn't he send you a letter before? You saw Samsoon at your house, right?" This should be asked to Huang Xiaoju. Samsoon should refer to the middle-aged man.

"Sam-soon happened to be coming for lunch, so we ran into them. But that old woman was really lucky. She was about to die, but someone came to save her. She's been in trouble several times in the past two months, but she didn't die."

Upon hearing this, Suihe burst into tears and his fists clenched so tightly that they made crackling sounds.

"My second brother said that the land where his two houses are located is part of the land that a big boss in the province has taken a fancy to. We need to get the property certificates as soon as possible and sell them to the big boss, otherwise it will cause more trouble if we delay."

After hearing this, Suihe finally understood what was going on. He had originally wanted to go to the village chief's house to ask what was going on with Aunt Sun. Fortunately, he heard these things outside the yard. This village chief, Huang Xiaoju and the middle-aged man were all birds of a feather.

Thinking about things, he walked back and quickly returned to Aunt Sun's house. He couldn't leave here now. If he left Aunt Sun, he would definitely encounter an accident.

He went back inside, climbed over the courtyard wall, opened the locked gate, and pretended nothing had happened. He went into the house and took a look at Aunt Sun. She was still the same as before, with no signs of waking up.

Suihe even thought Aunt Sun might have been drugged by Huang Xiaoju, otherwise she wouldn't have regained consciousness after such a long time. He went into the kitchen and found two cold steamed buns. Without lighting a fire, he ate them in a few bites with the hot water in the thermos. He'd often encountered harsh environments during missions, but now this wasn't a problem.

Then he returned to Aunt Sun's room and gave her some water. In the afternoon, he made some porridge and gave her half a bowl. Suihe estimated that Huang Xiaoju would not be back tonight. She had gone back to the county town with the middle-aged man to find her "Second Brother", which gave him some time and space.

Around 9:50 p.m., Suihe, who was sleeping on the kang with his clothes on, suddenly opened his eyes, jumped up from the kang, felt his aunt's forehead, and found she was fine, not having a fever. Then he went out of the yard and climbed over the wall.
