Old man Guan didn't know that his wife had been arrested, and because of his poor psychological condition, Director Jiang had already confessed everything. He was still in the cell, thinking that as long as he kept silent, no one could do anything to him.
Since arriving in the county town the night before, everyone has been working non-stop without much rest. Now that all the spies have been apprehended, the police can relax and get a good night's sleep tonight. A good rest will give them the energy to conduct a surprise interrogation tomorrow and get rid of those stubborn ones as soon as possible.
Suihe can go home tonight. When he gets home, he doesn't say a word about the case. As an unrelated person, it is not convenient for Second Aunt to know the current situation before the case is solved.
As clever as Professor Dong was, he didn't ask any unnecessary questions. He went into the kitchen and brought out the pre-cooked mung bean soup with rock sugar to cool him down. He took it and gulped down the whole bowl in just five seconds. He instantly felt much cooler, and his heart was filled with happiness. Second Aunt had a special warmth for him; even when his mother was around, she had never been this kind to him.
Suihe was also a child with a lot of hardships. His parents had been married for many years but had no children. Later, relatives from out of town gave them an unwanted child. After birth, a fortune teller told him that his kinship with his parents was extremely shallow and that he couldn't have any affection. If he grew up with family, he wouldn't live long. To save his life, his biological parents gave him away. His adoptive parents couldn't treat him too well, as even with family affection, that wouldn't mean he'd live long either. These were the words his adoptive parents told the villagers, who, being quite superstitious, believed them. As Suihe grew up, no matter how coldly his adoptive parents treated him, they considered it normal. They did this for Suihe's own good, to keep him alive.
Growing up without family affection, Sui-Hua's easygoing personality was tempered with strength and perseverance, allowing him to read people's expressions at a young age. As a child, he was naive and wanted to talk to his parents, but no one paid any attention. Over time, Sui-Hua became very quiet. Later, his adoptive parents went to the mountains to collect wild vegetables, but were eaten by wild animals, leaving him completely mute.
The villagers even said that raising a child who should have died long ago had backfired, and that the couple had taken their own lives. Few people wanted to play with him in the first place, and now no one dared to approach him at all.
Everyone in the village stayed away from Suihe, and the clan also made an excuse, saying that he was adopted and not the real child of the Guan family, and ignored him.
Suihe's adoptive parents had just given birth to Guan Shuisui when they passed away. Guan Laoer didn't fear backlash, dismissing it as nonsense. He desperately wanted to help Suihe, but even if he wanted to, he had nothing. While chopping wood in the mountains and picking wild fruits, he divided them into two portions: one for Suihe and one for his wife, Dong Xiaomai. Suihe ate whatever he could to fill his stomach, and from then on, Suihe would tag along whenever they went to the mountains to chop wood or went fishing in the river, so that the child would always have something to eat.
Guan Lao Er never cared about how good Guan Lao Er was to Sui He. As long as he was nice to Sui He, that was fine. She would be calm even if Sui He got back at her to death.
Fifth Grandpa was still fighting at that time and had not returned. If Fifth Grandpa had returned, the child would not have been so sad.
Later, Suihe followed an old hunter who lived in the west mountain to learn hunting, and was able to support himself. In order to protect himself in the deep mountains, he followed the old hunter to learn martial arts. As he grew older, his martial arts skills became stronger and stronger, and he could go hunting in the mountains by himself.
But this child was particularly lacking in love and affection. After the trio traveled through time, Guan Huashu, now the team leader, invited him back to live with Fifth Grandpa. Together, Guan Huashu, Fifth Grandpa, Professor Dong, and the two children provided him with the warmth of a family.
