Chapter 178 Showing Goodwill (2/2)



Moreover, the amount of money given here is not much.

For Su Zhiyuan, it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.

When the police made arrests, they didn't do it in the military compound, but in a car.

Therefore, it did not cause a sensation in the military compound.

The five children were unaware that their mother had been arrested.

The police only notified the woman's husband.

When Bai Shuyuan returned, his expression was somewhat solemn. After all, it involved enemy agents, so he would definitely be dealt with severely.

He bought some pastries and candies for the children.

He couldn't bear to do it either.

He could only donate more money to the charity foundation to help these children.

"Uncle Bai, a pretty lady brought us rice, flour, oil, meat, eggs, and vegetables—so much!" said Shuanzhu, the eldest of the five children, happily. "But the pretty lady said that my mom went back to her hometown, so we'll have to take care of ourselves from now on."

Shuanzhu is twelve years old. He is very good at washing clothes and cooking at home, and also at gathering firewood in the mountains.

Even though his parents are gone, he can take care of himself and his four younger brothers.

Bai Shuyuan was reassured about this.

Upon hearing the words "pretty older sister," Bai Shuyuan immediately thought of Su Jiaojiao.

He knew that Su Jiaojiao had been somewhat reluctant and even didn't want to report the matter to the organization.

But Bai Shuyuan thought that was wrong.

He will definitely insist on reporting to the organization.

Fortunately, Su Jiaojiao did not stop him.

"Yes, you're a big kid now, you need to take good care of your younger brothers." Bai Shuyuan tried to keep his expression natural.

He couldn't bear to see the children.

As he spoke, he took out ten yuan and a bunch of coupons from his shirt pocket and handed them to Shuanzhu: "Keep the money safe. If you need anything, go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy it yourself."

"Uncle Bai, you don't need to. My dad will give me the money too." Shuanzhu refused to accept it no matter what.

The children behind him all waved their hands in unison.

This made Bai Shuyuan feel even worse.

Since I can't give the money away, I can only help them secretly.

With the safety hazards in the military compound gone, Su Jiaojiao told Bai Shuyuan directly that he would no longer pick her up or drop her off.

This is what made Bai Shuyuan want to cry but had no tears.

It seems he can no longer come here for free meals.

It's all his fault for discovering the enemy agent so early on.

If we had discovered it later, we could have gotten free meals for a few more days.

The main reason is that Du Xiuyun's cooking is so delicious.

As for his biological mother Huo Xiu's cooking, it wasn't very good to begin with, but compared to Du Xiuyun's cooking, it was practically inedible.

"Um, sister-in-law, you're pregnant now, it's not safe for you to go to and from get off work alone." Bai Shuyuan followed behind Su Jiaojiao, constantly advising her, "Anyway, we're going the same way, so I'll give you a ride."

“Your cousin will pick me up and drop me off when he comes back. You need to have your own time too. How can you waste it on me?” Su Jiaojiao hesitated, knowing that the Bai family’s troubles were no small matter. Otherwise, Bai Guohua wouldn’t have gone to such lengths to approach Fang Cheng.

Bai Shuyuan raised an eyebrow: "Sister-in-law, I can do it. My time is not precious at all."

"You should go home and check on things first," Su Jiaojiao said helplessly.

"You mean something happened to the Bai family?" Bai Shuyuan's expression was somewhat gloomy, but it didn't seem to have a big impact. "It was bound to happen sooner or later. However, I actually want to see Grandpa Gu. I hope that whether they are being sent down or undergoing reform, they won't come to this remote Northwest. I don't want to cause any more trouble."

Su Jiaojiao was somewhat surprised: "You...aren't you afraid that if something happens to the Bai family, you won't have any family support left?"

“They wouldn’t have given me their resources anyway. Besides, my grandfather is senile, and the Bai family will only go downhill.” Bai Shuyuan quickly recovered. “It’s getting late, sister-in-law, let me take you home first.”

I'll take this meal if I can.

Su Jiaojiao had no choice but to accept it.

The two rode bicycles, one in front of the other, from the hospital toward the military medical compound.

At a corner of the hospital, a man emerged, watching the two figures leave with a sinister gaze.
