Since recovering from his illness, Su Yin has had a vague feeling that Su Ruyi has probably been reborn like him.
Now, this can be confirmed.
He just didn't expect that Su Ruyi, after her rebirth, would act so quickly and get the box so long before him!
Therefore, the secret recipe must have already fallen into Su Ruyi's hands!
And he had run so far just to avoid her.
Su Yin felt a wave of exhaustion wash over her—she felt like a complete clown!
He felt that he no longer had any leverage to compete with Su Ruyi.
“No… I still have Xiu’er!” Su Yin blurted out.
Su Jin asked, puzzled, "Who?"
Su Yin's thoughts immediately fell on Xia Tianxiu.
He knew that Xia Tianxiu was not the real daughter of the Qi family.
In my previous life, the matter of recognizing relatives caused quite a stir.
However, in this life, the situation is different—the real Qiao Tianyue's parents are already dead, so there is basically no way to verify the matter.
Although Su Ruyi has helped find the real Qiao Tianyue, no one can prove that this Qiao Tianyue is the real granddaughter of the Qi family!
Su Yin felt that he had to start with Xia Tianxiu and make her the official granddaughter of the Qi family. With the status of being the grandson-in-law of the Qi family, he would have more leverage to compete with Su Ruyi!
Thinking this, he ignored Su Jin and rushed back to the state-run hotel, urging Xia Tianxiu, "Let's go! Pack your things!"
Xia Tianxiu hurriedly asked, "Have you finished taking care of your business?"
Su Yin immediately nodded: "Let's go! Back to Beijing! You are the Qi family's granddaughter, the Qi family can't disown you, let's go find them and make a scene!"
Xia Tianxiu was overjoyed and jumped up to start packing her things.
Three days later, Su Ruyi also arrived at the mining area labor reform camp.
The warden took the pack of cigarettes she offered, glanced at the brand with disdain, and then his eyes lit up: "Who did you say you were looking for?"
“My eldest brother’s name is Su Jin,” Su Ruyi answered clearly.
Su Ruyi first went to Tieshi to find Shen Guoliang before she got the address of Su Jin's "Haozidong Mining Area Labor Re-education Camp", which delayed her for some time.
The guard stuffed the cigarette into his pocket. "Su Jin? That name sounds familiar." He then raised his voice and asked another guard who was repairing a window nearby, "Hey, what was the name of the guy who died the day before yesterday?"
Without hesitation, the guard replied, "His name is Sujin. Su as in Soviet Union, and Jin as in honesty in returning lost property!"
Oh no, I'm too late!
Su Ruyi felt as if a large hand was gripping her throat, and it took her a long time to utter a sound: "How...how did he die?"
The guard repairing the window replied dismissively, "The plane collapsed, so he couldn't climb out. That happens all the time! Don't worry about it. Your brother did make a contribution! His status has been changed; he's no longer a labor camp inmate, but a sent-down youth again! Oh, by the way, you might even get a 50-yuan subsidy. Let me find the paperwork for you."
Thirty minutes later, Su Ruyi left the labor camp with a few thin sheets of paper.
She gave away all the cigarettes she had in her handbag, which is how she learned that Su Yin had come three times, the last time being three days ago.
Where will Su Yin go?
He certainly won't get any information about the secret recipe from Sujin.
Su Ruyi was once again plunged into deep confusion.
Just as Su Ruyi was about to leave the labor camp, a very familiar face suddenly flashed before her eyes.
Su Ruyi turned her head and saw a man who looked like a disciplined officer, who had pulled his hat down low.
That is...
Su Ruyi suddenly shouted at the retreating figure, "Jiang Aiguo!"
The figure shuddered slightly, then quickened its pace, pulled its hat down even lower, and quickly disappeared behind a row of houses.
Su Ruyi left the labor camp with a light step. Once in town, she immediately called Shen Guoliang: "General Shen, we might be able to solve one of the mysteries in Dingjiatun!"
Shen Guoliang asked, puzzled, "Ruyi, what...do you mean by this?"
Su Ruyi lowered her voice: "I saw Jiang Aiguo! He's infiltrated the Haozidong Mining Area Labor Camp and become a guard! You'd better hurry and find him, lest he escape again!"
Shen Guoliang was overjoyed: "That's wonderful! That's wonderful! Ruyi, you really are my lucky star! I'll tell Lao Lian right away, he'll be so happy!"
"Old Lian? Lian Tuan?"
Su Ruyi then remembered that Lian Xun had begged her to treat his son's illness.
I wonder how his son is doing?
Shen Guoliang sighed and said, "You still remember him? Alas, he's been very depressed lately. His son died, and it was a huge blow to him!"
Without waiting for Su Ruyi's reaction, he said, "But this should keep him busy for a while. I need to call him right away! Hahahaha!"
Then the phone went dead.
"I guess... everyone has their own fate," Su Ruyi murmured, then hung up the phone and headed towards the bus stop.
Around 5 p.m. that day, Su Ruyi returned to Dingjiatun.
She went back to see Jin Xingqiu.
After knocking on the courtyard gate, I saw Jin Xingqiu eating at the stone table in the courtyard.
On the stone table was a simple side of pickled vegetables, a cornbread made from a mixture of wheat and water, and a bowl of corn porridge.
Jin Xingqiu was overjoyed to see her: "Ruyi, you're back?! Good heavens, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? Are you hungry? Wait a minute! I'll cook you two delicious dishes!"
Ignoring Su Ruyi's attempts to stop him, he plunged into the kitchen.
Twenty minutes later, a plate of stir-fried dried green beans with cured pork and a plate of stir-fried chives with eggs were served.
Su Ruyi didn't stand on ceremony. She washed her hands, picked up the cornbread, and took a big bite.
"Junior Aunt, would you like to come to the capital with me?" Su Ruyi asked bluntly.
Jin Xingqiu had just taken a bite of her cornbread when she immediately choked: "Cough cough cough..."
Su Ruyi immediately regretted it—she had asked too directly and should have been more tactful.
Jin Xingqiu took the water cup handed to her by Su Ruyi, took a big gulp of water before swallowing the cornbread, and nodded hurriedly, saying, "I'm willing! I'm willing! I'm more than willing!"
She came to Dingjiatun to learn medicine from Su Ruyi, but Su Ruyi left her there and went to Bingcheng and then to Beijing alone.
Although she knew Su Ruyi had important business to attend to, she couldn't help feeling disappointed.
However, as long as she could stay by Su Ruyi's side, she was willing to go to Beijing or some remote mountain forest.
She wasn't greedy; she only wanted to learn Su Ruyi's technique of easily treating severe lumbar spine diseases without surgery.
This is what she has learned in her life, and it is also a challenge that Western medicine cannot overcome.
