Chapter 277: Childhood sweethearts



"Grandma, do you know my uncle?"

When the young couple learned that their elders actually knew each other, they felt that they were destined to be together.

Su Jin waved his hand and said, "I saw him when I was a child. It's been so many years, there's no need to talk about that past."

Su Jin said there was no need to mention it. But Tang Ji said, "It turns out that the engagement between you and me is just a trivial matter that doesn't need to be mentioned."

"engagement?"

What a big melon!

Song Jingcheng and Chen He opened their eyes wide at the same time.

My aunt Cai Ruhong even covered her mouth and exclaimed on the spot: "Brother! Is Dr. Su the one you were engaged to when you were young?"

Hearing this, Song Jingcheng looked at Cai Ruhong and asked, "My aunt knows about this?"

Cai Ruhong nodded repeatedly, but seeing that her elder brother and Dr. Su didn't say anything, she didn't dare to gossip in front of the parties involved.

Chen He suddenly took Cai Ruhong's arm enthusiastically, smiling like a flower and speaking in a sweet voice, "Aunt, let's go to the hot spring pool and talk."

"OK."

Seeing that his wife had kidnapped his aunt-in-law who knew the inside story, Song Jingcheng quickly chased after her, leaving Tang Ji and Su Jin looking at each other in silence.

After a while, Tang Ji smiled bitterly and said with emotion: "Long time no see, Ajin."

"How have you been these years?"

Hearing the name "Ajin" made Su Jin panic.

Ever since her father passed away, no one in this world has called her Ah Jin anymore.

Su Jin smiled before she spoke. "My ex-husband plotted against me, my own flesh and blood betrayed me, my father passed away early due to injuries sustained in prison, and my only brother was taken to Su Country and we haven't seen each other for over sixty years..."

"Tell me, is this a good life or a bad life?"

This bumpy life experience is a book of "To Live" for anyone.

Tang Ji was bewildered upon hearing this. His old eyes were filled with heartache as he murmured, "You've actually been through so much?"

"you..."

Tang Ji felt bitter in his heart. He asked in a hoarse voice, "Have you ever thought of coming to find me?"

Unexpectedly, Su Jin said, "I've been there."

"You came to see me?" Tang Ji was stunned and asked subconsciously, "When did it happen?"

"Forty years ago."

Tang Ji frowned, but couldn't recall such a thing. "But I didn't receive any news that you were looking for me."

Su Jin frowned slightly, "You don't know?"

Tang Ji shook his head seriously and emphasized: "I didn't lie to you."

Su Jin showed a confused expression.

She recounted the past, "Forty years ago, I took several buses to get to Hecheng. I stayed there for two days, asking around, before I finally found the Tang family's new address."

Su Jin glanced at Tang Ji and said, "I've also met your sister."

"My sister?" Tang Ji hesitated. "Azhi?"

Su Jin was also unsure. She said, "I don't know if that woman is Chu Zhi. Anyway, she lives in your house and claims to be your sister."

After thinking for a while, Tang Jicai asked, "What did you tell her?"

Su Jin still remembers what happened that day.

She told Tang Ji: "I told your sister who I was and asked if you were home. But your sister said you were dead."

"She told me that you followed your boss to Country M to attend an exchange meeting, and you had a car accident right after landing in a foreign country."

Tang Ji fell into deep thought.

Forty years ago, when the reform and opening up just started, he was indeed entrusted by his leader to go to Country M with his mentor to attend an exchange meeting.

Indeed, there was a car accident on the night we landed in Country M.

But the person who actually died in the car accident was his mentor, while he only suffered minor injuries and was hospitalized due to concussion.

The first thing Tang Ji did when he woke up that night was to make a transatlantic call home to let them know he was safe.

In other words, when his family learned that he had been in a car accident, they also knew that he was still alive.

So Chu Zhi lied to Su Jin!

Catching the mockery in Su Jin's eyes, Tang Ji realized that this matter might not be that simple.

Thinking of Chu Zhi's thoughts about him when she was young, Tang Ji had some bad guesses in his mind.

"Did Azhi say anything else to you?"

If it was just a sentence that he was dead, Ajin shouldn't have this attitude.

Seeing that nothing could be hidden from Tang Ji, Su Jin simply told the truth, "Yes."

"She told me to be more sensible and stop bothering you guys at the Tang family in the future."

"They also said that the Su family lineage has been cut off and the Su family is no longer a wealthy family. Since they have all retreated to the countryside to become farmers, they should just farm honestly for the rest of their lives and not try to use their past friendship to blackmail the Tang family."

These are the exact words of Tang’s stepsister.

Forty years later, Su Jin still remembered it clearly, word for word.

Su Jin followed his father's last words before his death, stayed in the small mountain village, and lived the life of an ordinary person.

After staying in the countryside for a long time, she became afraid of big cities.

Heartbroken by Shen Zhenkun and his son, and criticized by the villagers, Su Jin first thought of escaping from the countryside.

So, in the midsummer of that year, she locked the pharmacy, changed into her most colorful floral shirt and black cloth pants, and mustered up the courage to board the minibus to Hecheng.

After much difficulty, she finally found the Tang family's address, but was met with another blow.

But Tang Ji's death and the words he said to Tang Ji's sister were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely crushing Su Jin's young but already broken heart.

After leaving Hecheng, Su Jin returned to the small mountain village and worked honestly as a barefoot doctor.

In his spare time, he goes out to look for medicinal herbs; when he is busy, he harvests a big harvest and saves lives at the same time.

Her heart gradually became numb.
