After all this trouble, more than an hour passed and it was already past three in the morning. The room finally became warm and everyone lay down to take a nap.
Su Nian felt like she had just fallen asleep when she was woken up. Chu Beichen squatted beside her bed, with an expression that was both amused and distressed. "You can still hum like a pig!"
Su Nian was originally sleeping with her clothes on, so she didn't get angry when Chu Beichen laughed at her. She sat up and rubbed her eyes, "You go out and wait for a while, I'll wash my face and then go out!"
The water in Lucheng was icy cold. Ju splashed it on his face and Su Nian suddenly woke up.
The restaurant of the guesthouse is more like a small canteen, with red bricks on the floor. Because they have to cook with a fire, it is much warmer here than other places.
There is no such thing as self-service in small places. Everyone has to queue up to get food. This rule is similar to that in a canteen. The chef in a white hat pours the snow-white and thick rice porridge into everyone's bowl.
You can take as many big white steamed buns as you want, but there is only a small dish as a side dish. If you look closely, it contains cold shredded potatoes and carrots, and a boiled egg.
The diners were mainly Han Qing and his group. They had all traveled far and wide and had experienced hardships, so they did not think the breakfast was simple and just ate until they were full.
"Let's go see Su Huaiyuan first this morning. It was he who accepted the child brought by my aunt!" Han Qing briefly mentioned today's plan.
It was almost eight o'clock when the group arrived at Lucheng Prison. Han Qing had already made arrangements for this. Everyone was waiting in the visiting room while the staff went to bring Su Huaiyuan out.
Su Nian was feeling very nervous. This was the first time she had seen Su's father since she severed ties with the Su family.
The prison staff quickly brought Su's father in. He was hunched over and had a sallow complexion. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot.
Father Su didn't dare to look up. He was pulled to sit opposite Han Qing and didn't see Su Nian and Chu Beichen sitting next to him.
Han Qing didn't say anything more. He directly took out the photo of his aunt and said to Father Su, "Do you know this woman?"
Father Su Huaiyuan looked up cautiously, looked at the photo twice, and then shook his head, "I have never seen this woman!"
Su Huaiyuan's answer surprised Han Qing greatly. He had already asked his aunt's ex-boyfriend Zhang Peiqiang, and he knew that Han Xiaoxiao was sold in Province G to a country man named Su.
Unexpectedly, Su Huaiyuan said that he had never seen Han Xiaoxiao. Was he mistaken, or did his aunt have other helpers back then?
Without time to think about it, Han Qing took out several photos of his aunt and asked Su Huaiyuan to identify them. After Su Huaiyuan looked at them several times, he stammered and said that it might be this woman who sent Su Nian here.
Han Qing narrowed his eyes and looked at Father Su, "Is it true?"
Father Su's face showed a hint of cunning. He rubbed his hands and chuckled twice, "Actually, it's been too long. I can't even remember what kind of woman I was back then!"
This was an almost rogue answer. Father Su was certain that Han Qing had no way to deal with him, because it was human nature that people couldn't remember things after a long time!
Han Qing smiled slightly. "Your family wasn't wealthy back then, was it? Why would you agree to raise someone else's child for no reason?"
"At that time, the woman said that there were too many girls in the family and they were useless, so she sent this girl out to be raised by someone else. She promised to give me 500 yuan a year as child-rearing expenses, but she only gave me this money for three years before she stopped!" Father Su blinked angrily.
"Tell me, why are these city people so mean as to deceive a country boy like me who has no money or power?"
