Then, Su Ruyi carefully took the photo frame and went to the hall on the second floor of the space. After considering it for a while, she hung the photo frame neatly on the wall in the chosen position.
Su Qiushi also rushed over.
Su Ruyi stood there, gazing at the photos on the wall for a long, long time.
Su Qiushi put his hand on her shoulder: "Ruyi...child...you've suffered!"
"What kind of person is she? What kind of person is my mother?" Su Ruyi asked, sobbing.
Su Qiushi wiped his eyes, his gaze seemingly fixed on something far away:
"She is the best child and the best person, just like you!"
Ruyi, although you have never met her, you have grown up to look almost exactly like her.
Your character, your temperament, your every smile and frown—sometimes when I look at you, it's like looking into a mirror.
But you are braver than Yanran, and... luckier than her.
"Grandpa!"
Su Ruyi threw herself into Su Qiushi's arms and cried bitterly.
Su Qiushi was also moved to tears:
"Grandpa found you too late, too late."
When our Su family was doing well, no, when our Su family was doing well, why didn't we find you?
Now Grandpa has nothing left, Grandpa can't give you anything anymore!
"Grandpa, I don't want anything, I just want you here, that's enough."
Su Qiushi wept uncontrollably:
Grandpa will be here! Grandpa will definitely be with you!
Grandpa promises that he will be waiting for you at Huichuntang and will not go anywhere else!
In terms of medical expertise, you have long surpassed your grandfather.
Grandpa was so happy!
Ruyi, there's nothing else your grandpa can do to help you, but he'll cook good meals for you.
"Making sure you eat well and are full at every meal is the only thing your grandfather can do."
Both of them were very sad.
Su Qiushi roused himself and changed the subject:
"Ruyi! You can't do that again, like you did that day, dragging that Qingfeng Daoist to Huichuntang."
Once Huichuntang is exposed, your last trump card will also be exposed!
That would be very dangerous!
Su Ruyi nodded: "Master Qingfeng is someone who has secrets just like me. He can't possibly expose me. If he did, he himself would be in danger, and besides... he's a good person."
Su Qiushi sighed, "Even good people can change, Ruyi. Your grandfather has seen too much."
After saying this, he finally asked the question that had been bothering him: "Ruyi, what exactly do you mean by 'trial by tribulation'?"
Su Ruyi hesitated for a long time. She had been avoiding Su Qiushi for the past few days because she didn't know how the old man would react if she told him about her experiences. Would he be able to accept it? Would it open an even bigger, more gaping, and bleeding wound in his already broken heart?
However, the situation is different now. Knowing that the old man before her is not her godfather, but her maternal grandfather, the bond of blood makes her decide not to lie to him anymore!
Therefore, she recounted her two lifetimes in detail to Su Qiushi, from dusk till dawn.
After listening, Su Qiushi took a long time to process what he had heard before asking, "Ruyi, how exactly does one accumulate merit? Is that room of yours, which makes my eyes water as soon as I enter, where merit is stored?"
"No, that's where the merit book is kept. The way I can think of to accumulate merit, and the way I've actually done it, is by healing people, saving many people, saving people with great merit, and also by running training classes and recruiting students."
Su Qiushi said, "Ruyi, saving one person is not as good as saving tens of millions!"
Su Ruyi asked, puzzled, "Grandpa, what... does this mean?"
Su Qiushi glanced towards the study and said, "Ruyi, you have so many good prescriptions, why don't you share some so that the common people can benefit from them?"
"I've always wanted to do this, but how should I do it?" Su Ruyi thought of Su Yin, who in her previous life started with ten recipes and became the richest man in Haicheng. She had always wanted to share the recipes in her space, but she didn't know where to begin.
Su Qiushi pointed out:
"Isn't the director of the research institute you cured a high-ranking official?"
Ruyi, all of your recipes are eligible for national secret formula registration!
You applied for this formula, and although the formula itself is not made public, the medicine can be used by people all over the country!
This way, it won't be considered revealing heavenly secrets, and it will benefit all people!
Accumulating merit in this way is definitely much faster than seeing doctors one by one!
Why don't you talk to the director of that research institute and ask him to introduce you to some relevant people?
Su Ruyi suddenly understood—indeed, this was a good method! Master Ba would definitely be happy to help!
The two discussed countless details about this issue.
Su Qiushi was indeed a shrewd person, very adept at understanding human relationships, and gave Su Ruyi many good ideas.
But in the end, the topic inevitably turned sorrowful again.
Because Su Qiushi was reminded once again that the Su family had long since lost power, and that he himself was old and frail.
The words of despair were already on the tip of his tongue, and he couldn't stop himself from saying them: "Grandpa is old, Grandpa... he's really no longer of any use to you. Now, Grandpa only asks not to be a burden..."
Seeing Su Qiushi so disheartened, Su Ruyi felt as if her heart was being torn apart: "Grandpa, you should live a good old age here in Huichun Hall. I promise you, those storms and tempests outside will never touch you again..."
Su Qiushi nodded emphatically, and the grandfather and grandson embraced and wept bitterly once more.
...
The Haozidong Mining Area Labor Re-education Camp is the only man-made structure in the entire mountainous area.
The courtyard, enclosed by a three-meter-high wire fence, has five rows of small bungalows, totaling fifteen rows.
The barbed wire fence divided these bungalows into four areas.
The row of small bungalows near the exit served as the dormitories for the guards.
The remaining bungalows were arranged in a "three-three-three-two" pattern and divided into four prison areas.
The prison area, consisting of only two rows of small bungalows, had dense barbed wire mesh.
Those who are imprisoned there are all serious criminals.
They had to wear shackles and handcuffs while they worked.
These items cannot be removed during coal mining operations, which leads to a high casualty rate.
When the plane collapses, others can nimbly run away, but these people can only wait to die on the spot.
Su Jin, a serious criminal who persecuted educated youth, has already escaped three collapse accidents.
Su Jin is now a lean young man with a perpetually furrowed brow and an extremely fierce look in his eyes when he looks at people.
Su Yin had already given out two whole packs of good cigarettes on her way to see Su Jin.
He was very anxious because his inventory was running low.
Sitting in the makeshift "visiting room" in the correctional dormitory, Su Yin was a little scratching her head in frustration.
