When she arrived at the well, Aunt Li was surprised to find her grandson washing vegetables and taking care of the young children at the same time. Seeing this, her eyes widened and she asked uncertainty, "Shitou?"
Hearing his Grandma’s voice, Shitou raised his head. The moment he saw his grandma, a bright smile appeared on his face.
He rushed to her side, hugged her legs and said, "Grandma, I miss you. How is my sister? Is she okay?"
It took Aunt Li a while to come back to her senses. This was the first time she heard her grandson ask other people’s well beings. When did he become so considerate and polite?
She looked at her grandson and said, "Your sister is still in the hospital. Grandma is here to pick you up."
Shitou looked at his Grandma, then at Lu Wenfeng, and asked with a hint of unwillingness, "Grandma, do I have to go back today?"
"Shitou, you have been here too long. We can’t keep disturbing people," Aunt Li said with a smile.
When Aunt Li saw his expression, she thought he would lose his temper and refuse to go back with her. After all, he has friends here, and he might eat well as he seems to be a little fatter than before. She had already thought about what she would say to persuade him to go back.
Unexpectedly, her grandson just nodded and said, "Grandma, can I say goodbye to Grandma Lu and Grandpa Lu?"
Aunt Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Of course, let’s go."
After a brief conversation, Chen Anwen took them to Father Lu’s house. Lu Wenmu and Lu Wenfeng also followed behind her.
After entering the living room, she poured a glass of water for Aunt Li and said, "Aunt Li, please have a seat. I will go and inform my mother-in-law."
"All right, thank you, niece."
Not long after, Mother Lu came out of the bedroom with Chen Anwen. When Aunt Li saw her, she stood up and said, "Sister-in-law, I’m sorry to come so early."
Mother Lu smiled at her and said, "Sister-in-law, please have a seat."
After the two of them sat down, Mother Lu said, "I heard from Anwen that you came to pick up Li Heng. Has Li Shu been discharged from the hospital?"
Aunt Li put the bamboo basket on the table and said, "Sister-in-law, Da Niu is still in the hospital, and Doctor Xie is taking care of her. That’s why I came back to take care of Shitou."
Mother Lu heard about Li Shu’s matters from her second daughter-in-law. From Aunt Li’s words and tone, she knew that it would be difficult for Li Shu to stay with her grandma in the future. Although she was a victim, most people wouldn’t want to raise someone else’s child.
After sending Aunt Li and Shitou away, Mother Lu returned to her room. It was almost summer and she needed to mend a lot of clothes. She didn’t have much time left before the summer harvest.
At the same time, in the distant city, Gao Shun and Gou Dan were secretly leaving the train station to avoid the officers’ inspection. Finally leaving the train station, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment, Gao Shun hugged her bag tightly in her chest and asked, "Son, it’s so big here, what should we do now? Can we find your father?"
Gou Dan looked at the address written on a piece of paper and said, "With this address, we can find him. Mother, don’t worry. When we meet my Father, remember not to show your weakness. It is him and that bitch who is in the wrong."
Gao Shun nodded after listening to his words and said, "Mother knows. Son, don’t worry. Even if I can’t send that bitch to jail, your Mother will definitely ask for a lot of compensation."
Gou Dan was very satisfied with his mother’s answer and nodded, "Great!"
Since Gao Shun was illiterate and Gou Dan could only read some words, they walked around asking people to help them read the address.
Because their clothes were patched and dirty, no one wanted to talk to them. After walking aimlessly for several hours, Gou Dan finally said, "Mother, let’s buy some food first and then continue."
