At this point in Su Tong's letter, he also mentioned something he had witnessed firsthand—
When he arrived at Sujiazhuang, Su Xueshu was bringing Sun Qiaomei a basin of water to wash her feet. Sun Qiaomei asked him to test the water temperature, and he drank a mouthful without hesitation!
Su Tong went to Sujiazhuang because Guan Yumei had attempted suicide several times in prison after her miscarriage.
Her only request was to see Su Dazhi.
The prison sent people to contact her family, but they couldn't reach any of them except Su Tong.
Su Tong took the documents with him, but whether Su Dazhi went to see Guan Yumei was unknown to him.
As for Su Tong himself, he sorted out the food factory's accounts over the past ten years and discovered that the head of the finance department was a major corrupt official!
After informing Su Xiangjun, the two colluded to get the head of the finance department imprisoned.
The vacant position of section chief naturally went to Su Tong.
In an attempt to exonerate himself, the former section chief implicated the factory director.
Therefore, Su Xiangjun has been promoted to the top position in the food factory because of his meritorious report.
According to rank, Su Xiangjun reserved a two-bedroom apartment for Su Tong in the newly built three-story staff housing building of the food factory. It will be completed next year and he can move in.
The Su family courtyard has been completely demolished and rebuilt. Su Xiangjun built a mini version of the courtyard on the original site, which makes perfect use of the space.
Su Tong even drew a new layout of the courtyard for Su Ruyi to see.
At the end of the letter, Su Tong inquired about Su Tie's whereabouts and then gave Su Ruyi a long, three-page admonition, especially telling her to be wary of Su Qiaoqiao. He also told her to learn medicine and how to be a good person from Jin Dachun, and that since Jin Dachun had no children, she should take good care of him in his old age and see him off in his final days...
Upon seeing this, Su Ruyi burst into tears.
She immediately took out letter paper and a pen and began writing her second reply.
Around midnight that night, Su Ruyi came to Ding Xiuping's shack again.
She climbed a large tree not far away, just at a distance from which she could control the release and repossession of the old man she had found.
She first threw a pebble onto the roof of the shack.
Three seconds later, Ding Xiuping, wielding a kitchen knife and disheveled, burst out: "Who?! Show yourself!"
The old man appeared behind her: "It's me, it's past midnight..."
Ding Xiuping turned around, and the old man vanished in a flash.
"You surnamed Jin! I...I'm not afraid of you! If you hadn't been so foul-mouthed, how could I have killed you?!" Ding Xiuping shouted, her voice clearly weak. "You brought this on yourself!"
"Go and turn yourself in!" The old man reappeared behind Ding Xiuping and said quietly, "Confess and you'll be treated leniently. Otherwise, I'll follow you around every day, and in ten days or half a month, I'll have drained all your life force..."
Ding Xiuping stood still, which Su Ruyi found strange. After watching her for a few seconds, she realized that Ding Xiuping had wet her pants.
Su Ruyi, controlling the old man, suddenly appeared in front of Ding Xiuping: "Whether you turn yourself in or not, it's up to you... See you tomorrow night, around midnight..."
After saying that, he disappeared again in an instant.
Golden needles appeared in Su Ruyi's palm.
She shot the gold needle into the back of Ding Xiuping's head, and she immediately fainted.
Su Ruyi held a pair of scissors in her hand, cut off one of Ding Xiuping's braids, and threw it on the roof of her shack, tying it into a horizontal knot—just like a noose for hanging.
Then, she put away the golden needles and left gracefully.
Upon returning to her room and entering her spatial dimension, Su Ruyi discovered that the old man had not gone to sleep. Instead, he had gone to the clinic on the first floor, where he was standing on a stool, opening the shelves of the medicine cabinet, and stuffing handfuls of delicious Chinese medicinal herbs such as red dates, longan, hawthorn, and goji berries into his arms.
Its mouth was constantly full, stuffed up like a hamster's.
What she didn't know was that the old man had also taken quite a few pills, including one that Su Ruyi thought could reset time, but was actually just a small white wax pill that could eliminate fatigue and provide a night's sleep.
At this moment, the old man was full of energy.
Su Ruyi was both amused and exasperated: "Grandpa, what are you doing?"
"Hmph! Yanran, are you trying to starve your father? Why do you only feed me one meal a day? Although the food you prepare for me is delicious, even if I eat sparingly, it's not enough for me to have three meals a day!" The old man pouted. "I did exactly as you said, scaring that naughty girl half to death. You have to reward me with something good to eat!"
Su Ruyi's eyes darted around.
This old man is undoubtedly a foodie, so any foodie...
The old man was led to the kitchen in the backyard by Su Ruyi.
The kitchen was piled high with all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat.
In addition to the purchases she made before going to the countryside, Shen Guoliang also sent her a lot of expensive ingredients.
All the seasonings and condiments are also readily available.
The old man immediately rolled up his sleeves: "Yanran, you've been promoted? Is this your private canteen?"
Su Ruyi thought for a moment and nodded: "Even so... right!"
It seems the old man's daughter holds a position of authority at the hospital? Just who is this old man?
At that moment, the old man was rubbing his hands together, eager to get started: "Wait a minute, Dad will make you some of your favorite dishes! Wait! Let's brew a pot of tea first! Dad is dying of thirst!"
Su Ruyi's heart skipped a beat—the old man didn't drink cold water, so he hadn't touched her marrow-cleansing soup...
Although the old man kept referring to himself as her father, which made Su Ruyi feel quite awkward, it was important to keep the old man calm, as she was hoping he could scare Ding Xiuping a few more times.
Of course, she couldn't keep the old man detained indefinitely.
This man clearly comes from an extraordinary background; you can tell from his every move. His family must be frantically searching for him by now, right?
With that in mind, she went to the brigade headquarters again early the next morning and called the Sanhe County Police Station.
Unsurprisingly, he got another scolding: "Hey comrade, are you out of your mind? You come here every day asking if anyone's coming to claim your dad? That's your dad, who could come to claim him? If you keep messing around like this, believe me, we'll arrest you!"
It seems that the old man's family still hasn't realized he's missing.
So... does he still have any family?
Su Ruyi sighed and hung up the phone.
The battalion commander is not at the battalion headquarters.
After the rice harvest was completed, the corn planting began.
After giving the whole village a day off to bid farewell to Jin Dachun, Ding Youliang was determined to make up for the lost day as quickly as possible.
Su Ruyi could hear Ding Youliang shouting slogans through a loudspeaker even at the brigade headquarters.
The person on duty at the brigade headquarters was Wang Jiaqiang, the brigade accountant.
The shy young man blushed as soon as Su Ruyi came in, and dared not look at her.
Su Ruyi rode her bicycle to make the call.
After making the call, she rode out of the village, to a secluded corner, then released her motorcycle and sped off to find Shen Guoliang.
He'll be fully recovered after today's treatment!
