Chapter 44: Gift from a Military Wife
When Su Jinhui went to work at the hospital from home, she had just opened the door when she saw many familiar faces standing outside.
There is her neighbor Sister Zhang, Sister Wu who often comes to her for medical treatment, and the military wives who have spoken up for her many times.
Looking at the dense crowd of heads in front of her, Su Jinhui didn't know if something had happened again.
"What are you all doing here at my house all of a sudden? Are you here to see a doctor?"
The wives looked at each other, smiled, and shook their heads. Sister Zhang took the lead and said, "Doctor Su, these are the eggs laid by my old hen. There aren't many, just two or three. Take them and eat them."
There are not many resources on the island, so it is already very good for Sister Zhang's family to raise a few chickens. Moreover, they usually don't want to kill these chickens for food, but use them for laying eggs.
But today, Sister Zhang gave her the egg, which made her even more confused.
"What do you mean? We can't take these eggs. You can take them back and eat them yourself."
She pushed the egg back, but Sister Zhang was adamant and insisted on giving it to Su Jinhui. "Take it and eat it. It's not easy for you to treat everyone's illness. Now you have established a medicinal soap workshop with the Women's Federation. We are all here to thank you!"
After hearing this, Su Jinhui finally understood the purpose of the military wives coming here.
"Yes, Su Jinhui, these are some wild vegetables I just picked up this morning. They're not delicacies, but it takes a lot of effort to pick them up for a meal. It's just right for you to take them home and use them to enjoy in the evening."
If you eat too much seafood, these wild vegetables will naturally become delicacies from mountains and seas.
Seeing how welcoming her family was, everyone came to thank her and gave her gifts.
For a moment, Su Jinhui didn't know how to respond. She waved her hands quickly, but a smile was on her face. "Don't be so polite, everyone. I know that the establishment of the workshop has solved a lot of your livelihood problems. At the same time, it also gives you something to do at home. If you are happy, I am happy too."
"This way, we won't have to deal with gossip at home. We women can still do what we can and show our value."
After hearing Su Jinhui's words, everyone was excited and nodded in agreement.
She received recognition from fellow military wives, and Su Jinhui's reputation at the grassroots level of the military region reached a new height.
Whenever someone mentioned Su Jinhui's name, it was always a compliment.
Originally, some people called her the capitalist's daughter, but this incident completely reversed the negative impression of the capitalist's daughter's background.
Yan Li'an was also proud of it when he knew it.
In the evening, Yan Li'an returned home from the military area. He saw large and small things placed on the table, including wild vegetables, eggs, fish and meat.
She thought the house was haunted. When she came to the kitchen and saw Su Jinhui busy at work, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's with those things on the table? Who sent them? Did you buy them?"
Su Jinhui wiped her hands and brought out a bowl of freshly made wild vegetable and clam soup with a wet rag.
"These were given to me by the wives of military personnel. I asked the Women's Federation to help them, and that's how we set up this medicinal soap workshop."
"Now that everyone has money to earn and work to do, and they know this was my idea, they come to thank me more often. I really can't handle their enthusiasm, and I told them to take these things back, but who would have thought they would just leave them here and leave without caring."
"There are too many people. I can't return all these things to them one by one, so I can only accept them."
"But I'll roughly remember their faces. When we have time, we can give them some gifts."
Yan Li'an nodded. So that's what happened.
"It seems that you have become a heroine in everyone's heart."
Su Jinhui put the dishes and chopsticks on the table and placed a bowl of rice for Yan Li. "I don't dare to call myself a hero. As a woman, I certainly understand the plight of women. I just want to make things better for everyone."
"Come and eat! I made these using the ingredients everyone gave me. Some of them are recipes I created myself, so I don't know how they taste."
Yan Li'an has always believed in her cooking skills. After taking a sip of the wild vegetable soup, the sweet taste made him want to drink several more sips.
"It's delicious. I think since you are such a good cook, I'm sure someone will come and learn from you."
"No, that's fine. I have to consult patients at the hospital and teach recipes to the cafeteria from time to time. If someone really asks me to learn how to cook, I won't be able to handle it."
The two of them chatted casually, and the dim light made the atmosphere particularly warm, with their shadows cast long.
During the following period, Su Jinhui held an important position both in the hospital and in the hearts of the people.
Her business was booming and the medicinal soap factory was on the right track.
Just when her position in the military region was becoming increasingly stable, Yan Li'an came to her with a serious expression.
In the doctor's office, Su Jinhui had just finished seeing her last patient. Before she had time to drink a sip of water, the door of the office was opened again. But when she looked up, the person who came in was Yan Li'an.
She subconsciously thought that he was injured, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Yan Li'an shook his head and looked at Su Jinhui with a complicated expression. "Please listen carefully to what I am going to say next. I also heard this information from other channels. Although I am not sure about your relationship with your family, I think this matter is related to you after all, so I have to tell you."
When Su Jinhui heard this, she wondered if this had anything to do with the Su family.
"Just say it directly. It's okay. I can bear it."
In fact, whether these people in the Su family lived well or not had nothing to do with Su Jinhui. Even if they died outside, they would have no relationship at all. She had always kept the newspaper that severed the relationship with her.
"I heard that your father, your mother, and your Su Jinxian were reported in China. They have a sum of money from an unknown source and are being investigated by the higher-ups."
"He has been secretly arrested and sent to a farm in the north where conditions are extremely harsh for labor reform."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Li'an could not see any tension on Su Jinhui's face.
But a look of confusion.
"Aren't you... worried about them?"
Su Jinhui chuckled, "I don't have a deep relationship with them. Do you think I'm actually a very cold person?"
Yan Li'an shook his head, "No!"
If she was really that kind of cold-hearted person, she wouldn't be helping so many people in this place.
So the reason why she could act so indifferent when she heard that something happened to the Su family was that the Su family must have wronged her first.
Indeed, after Su Jinhui heard about this, she had no other thoughts except surprise and confusion.
Because according to the plot of the original book, her biological parents should be taking Su Lanqiao overseas and living a decent life, although they blame her.
This also led to the original owner's tragic death.
