Chapter 352 Endure
Su Yu followed behind, and when she saw the three people who had depended on each other in the past reunited again, she couldn't help but have tears in her eyes again.
Su Tong lay beside her grandfather, crying bitterly.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Wake up! I miss you so much! I miss you and my brother so much! Why don't you want me anymore? You left me over there! I have no home! I am alone! I have no home! I have been looking for you everywhere! For such a long time! For such a long time..."
After hearing this, Su Yu couldn't help but feel sad. She went forward and hugged Su Tong. The two of them lay beside their grandfather and cried like they did when they were children.
No one noticed that grandpa's fingers moved slightly...

Downstairs, Qin Yi's mother Li Shu and Lin Xiumin helped Lin Xiuqing to the sofa.
Lin Xiumin said, "Xiaoqing, there is no outsider here. What is going on? Why don't even I know... about the existence of your daughter? Or... Lin Jiao..."
Lin Xiuqing wiped her tears with a handkerchief, took a deep breath, and then slowly said:
"That was the most chaotic time of the year. Old Master Qin had an accident, my father and Xiaoyu disappeared, and my uncle's research was forced to stop. My father-in-law asked Wen Qian and I to escape from Jing City before those people broke in.
Later we found that there were still people chasing us. Wen Qian and I were both their targets. To protect me and the baby in my belly, Wen Qian had to separate from me and lead the pursuers south. With the help of several of my uncle's students, I turned west.
After traveling for more than half a month, when we arrived in Shaanxi Province, I felt something was not right. The baby showed signs of premature birth, so they had no choice but to send me to a simple local hospital, where I lived under an assumed name. Not long after, I gave birth to "Xiaotong".
Xiaotong's name was chosen by his father a long time ago. He said that this word can be used regardless of whether it is a boy or a girl, but he still hopes it is a girl.
At that time, I really didn't want to escape anymore. I wanted to take Xiaotong and find a place to hide for a while. But only half a month later, one of our companions was shot for no reason while shopping on the street. He was gone, and the gang of criminals caught up with us.
At that time, the only people left with me were Zhan Zhigang and Wen Lijun.
They advised me to find a place to settle Xiaotong first, and then come back to pick her up when we were safe.
I didn't want to, so I delayed it for a few more days and was forced to change my accommodation several times.
Xiaotong is too young, not even a month old, and is forced to hide with us everywhere! I know that if this continues, not only will we die, but Xiaotong will be in even greater danger!
Wen Lijun repeatedly assured me that he would find a good family for Xiaotong and would come back to pick her up once the storm had passed.
I still can't make up my mind.
That night, while I was asleep, the two of them took Xiaotong away.
Three days later, they came back and assured again and again that they had sent Xiaotong to a safe place. They also left all the money they had to the family, asking them to treat Xiaotong well.
I cried my heart out, but there was nothing I could do.
Not long after, Wen Lijun got separated from us during a transfer.
Later, Zhan Zhigang and I lost contact.
I have been wandering around Shaanxi Province and have not left.
It was not until three months later, when I was sure the situation was not so urgent, that I went to the address Wen Lijun mentioned to find Xiaotong. I wanted to bring Xiaotong back.
However, when I went to look for it, I found that there was no such address at all.
I don't know whether he made a mistake in his haste or he simply lied to me.
I don’t know where they sent Xiaotong?
I don’t know where they went?
I have completely lost contact with Xiaotong.
It was not until more than a year later that I had established myself in the Shanghai stock market. One day, I received a letter from Wen Lijun.
In the letter he told me that when he was sending Xiaotong away, he had been looking for a long time but couldn't find a suitable family.
Later, when they were resting in a large temple, a middle-aged woman wanted to take Xiaotong away.
In order to get people to treat Xiaotong well, he pretended to be an immortal and told the woman that she must treat Xiaotong well and let her study, so that her family would have great fortune.
While she was kowtowing and making a wish, he stuffed all the money he had into the baby's swaddling clothes.
It was a village in Gansu Province, on the border with Shaanxi Province.
I can't blame Wen Lijun. Under the circumstances, he had done the best he could.
I immediately set off for Gan Province and found the village! But I didn't find Xiaotong, so I returned empty-handed.
But she is always in my heart.
A few years later, I couldn't stand the longing anymore, so I went to Shuanggouzi Village again, but still couldn't find any news about Xiaotong!
But this time, I brought back Lin Jiao, who was born in the same year and month as Xiaotong. "
When Lin Xiuqing said this, Mr. Qin, who was already very old, actually started wiping away tears.
"It's all my fault! It's all my fault, this old man! You kids have to suffer like this!"
"No! Master Qin!"
Lin Xiuqing said: "I brought Lin Jiao back not only to ease my longing for Xiaotong, but also because too many people were involved in that incident..."
"Grandpa Qin, father-in-law, father, uncle... you have all made sacrifices for the country. The incident was caused by the evil forces who wanted to sabotage and prevent our country from developing secret scientific research projects."
"My father and Xiaoyu disappeared because of their cooperation in the research. My uncle was ostracized and even exiled to Yunshan Village for several years. My father-in-law passed away, but Mr. Qin single-handedly preserved the research results of these people so that their efforts would not be in vain."
"Except for Wen Qian, I have never mentioned to anyone that Lin Jiao was adopted. I also don't want to burden everyone because of this matter. So many elders have devoted their lives to that research, and so many people have sacrificed their lives. I lost my own child, what qualifications do I have to mention it in front of everyone! This pain... I will bear it alone!"
"Xiao Qing! You, you can tell me! What's there to hide from your sister? You'll feel better if you have someone to talk to..."
Lin Xiumin's voice was choked.
"At that time, you were still far away in the northwest, and our whole family was displaced and scattered all over the place. Although it was sad, as time went by, the wounds in my heart healed and the pain became numb. But when I thought of Xiaotong, I didn't know where she was and whether she was suffering, and I felt sorry for her!"
Although Lin Xiuqing had tears in her eyes, her emotions gradually calmed down. Except for the loss of control when facing Su Tong, she has now returned to the tough and rational Lin Xiuqing.
Lin Xiumin couldn't hold it in any longer, and she hugged Lin Xiuqing and burst into tears...
"Xiao Qing! Xiao Qing! You feel so miserable! Why don't you say anything?"
Lin Xiuqing patted her sister on the back and said softly:
"Sister! It's not hard! The hardest time is over!"
She continued, "Later, Wen Qian found us and reunited with us! You also returned to Jingshi with Zhiyang and Shaoyang, and father and Xiaoyu were also found! Uncle and uncle were finally rehabilitated!"
"And now, now..."
"Now...Xiaotong..."
Whenever Su Tong was mentioned, Lin Xiuqing couldn't stop crying.
"Xiaotong is back too! She's back! I can't believe it! Not only is Xiaotong back, she's grown so well!"
Lin Xiuqing began to sob again...
"Xiao Yu has never been close to me! You all think it's because he and I have been apart for too long! In fact, I know that he lost his sister because of me! From the first time he saw Lin Jiao, he said that this was not his sister..."
