After 65 years, Su Ming finally found his beloved sister. He was ecstatic and decided to skip work for a day and bring Su Jin back to his home overnight.
He wanted to reminisce about the past with his elder sister.
Su Ming drove a low-key black domestic car, and Su Jin noticed that there was an even more low-key black car following behind him.
"Is that the person who protects you?"
"Yes." Su Ming sighed, "A few decades ago, many scientific researchers were assassinated. Now that the country is stronger, we researchers have dedicated bodyguards when we travel."
"Sister, what about you? Are you still practicing medicine?"
Su Jin waved his hand modestly: "I am just a barefoot doctor in the countryside. I can't compare with you."
Su Ming was stunned for a long time after hearing this.
Their ancestors were a medical family that produced imperial physicians.
If the Su family had not encountered such misfortune, the eldest sister would have studied medicine with her father and would definitely be a leading figure in the field of traditional Chinese medicine now.
"Didn't our father teach you?"
"I've taught you everything," Su Jin said. "My father passed on everything he learned throughout his life to me, but I've always followed his instructions and stayed in the village as a doctor instead of going to a big city."
Su Ming's expression darkened, guessing that his elder sister must have encountered something unpleasant after going to Yucheng. "Did you go to your cousin's house in Yucheng that year? Did something happen?"
Su Jin lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Even though more than sixty years had passed, she couldn't even remember what her cousin looked like. But she still gritted her teeth when she thought of what happened back then.
After a moment, Su Jin finally unraveled the story: "After Dad was imprisoned, it took me half a month to reach Yucheng. Little did I know that my cousin had already been bribed by the Dong family. They drugged my food, and when I woke up, I was already locked up in the hold of a coal freighter."
"Fortunately, I was smart enough to hide the Su family's ancestral medical books before entering my cousin's house."
"I was looking for an opportunity to escape the whole time, but the Dong family was watching me too closely, so I couldn't succeed. It wasn't until I got on the train that I used the excuse of going to the bathroom and jumped out of the toilet."
The trains at that time were very slow and jumping on the railway was still a very dangerous thing.
"I broke my leg and limped for five miles before I met a kind old widow who came to my rescue. Later, I lived with her and worked and cooked for her."
"Five years later, the old lady passed away, and I went to Yucheng alone again. I worked as a maid near my cousin's house, waiting for my father to come and find me."
"After waiting in Yucheng for four months, I finally saw my father, who took the initiative to go to the countryside to work as a village doctor in a remote rural area."
...
That was all sixty years ago.
But when Su Jin talked about those past events, he still felt a lingering fear.
Just listening to Su Jin's story about that experience, Su Ming felt heartbroken. Tears welled up in his eyes and he held Su Jin's hand tightly.
"Sister, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not easy for you either."
Not wanting to talk about such sad things, Su Jin changed the subject to something lighter: "Xiao Ming, are you married?"
Su Ming also forced himself to cheer up.
"I got married once. I was 40 years old. My wife is a first-class actress at the National Theatre. She is three years older than me and is a very fascinating girl."
When Su Ming mentioned his deceased lover, his tone was full of joy and satisfaction.
It is obvious that a woman who can make an old scholar like Su Ming fall in love with her is a woman with great personal charm.
"Is your sister-in-law home? It's so late, the supermarket must be closed. It wouldn't be nice for me to go empty-handed. How about you take me back to the hotel and I'll pay you a formal visit tomorrow?"
Su Jin is an old lady who pays great attention to etiquette.
Su Ming shook his head and said calmly, "My wife passed away four years ago. She had a brain tumor. She had surgery, but she didn't make it out of the operating room alive."
Speaking of his lover's death, Su Ming remained calm. He said, "We've known each other for thirty-five years, and we've been in love for thirty-four years and ten months. I have no regrets in this life."
Love to your heart's content, and you will have no regrets in life.
"But to be honest, I still miss her sometimes. Especially when the lilies in the yard bloom, but she will never squat in the yard to appreciate the flowers again."
Just listening to his younger brother describe his feelings moved Su Jin. "You're lucky to have met your soul mate. Even if it's a little late, it's not a regret."
"Compared to yours, my marriage is a mess."
Su Ming frowned and asked, "What kind of person is my brother-in-law?"
Su Jin sneered, "You're the only college student in the village, you're so ambitious, a modern-day Chen Shimei. To kick me out and marry a rich girl, you've got a bachelor from the neighboring village to rape me, deliberately smearing my reputation..."
"After his evil plan succeeded, he used the victim's identity to force me to divorce him and took my child away."
"And I, as the victim, became a fickle bitch..."
When Su Ming heard this, he was furious.
He parked the car next to you and cursed with gritted teeth, "You old bastard, you're bullying your mother's family because they have no one there! Sister, although I'm old, I can still support you."
"Where is he?! I'll go with you to his house and ask for an explanation! Let's buy plane tickets now and take you to his house tomorrow!"
Su Jin was touched but also felt sad at the same time because he had his brother's support.
After living alone all my life, I finally have the support of my closest brothers. It can be said that after all the hardships, there is happiness.
"Don't be angry. Old Bitter has been dead for over ten years. His bones have all rotted away."
Su Ming was still not satisfied and asked angrily, "Where is his grave? I'm going to dig it up and whip his corpse!"
He has saved so many people in his life. It’s not too much to secretly dig up the graves of scumbag men and whip their bones, right?
Su Jin was amused and laughed, "We are indeed siblings, we have the same ideas."
