Chapter 1162 The Situation of the Hong Family

Shu Yu was worried that he might eat too much and have indigestion, so she held his hand and walked slowly around the room while talking to him.

Although she was the one talking the whole time, Gouwa remained silent.

After walking around twice, Gouwa got tired. He was only two years old, and what had happened in the main room was enough to exhaust the little guy.

Shu Yu took him to the outhouse, then put him on the bed, patted his shoulder, and said, "Go to sleep and get some rest before we talk about anything else."

Gouwa was a little uneasy as he arrived in this unfamiliar place.

Fortunately, Shu Yu stayed with him and talked to him the whole time. She was patient and beautiful, and he finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.

As soon as he fell into a deep sleep, Dr. Zhao came over.

Shu Yu stepped aside from the bedside so that Dr. Zhao could take his pulse.

After examining the child, Dr. Zhao came out and whispered to Shu Yu and the others, "This child probably hasn't been eating well. His pulse is weak, and he's physically weak. In addition, the food he's been eating is rough, which has damaged his spleen and stomach. He probably hasn't had a bowel movement for two days. I'll prescribe some mild medicine for him later. It shouldn't be a big problem. He's still young, so he can recover gradually. With us here, we won't let him go hungry again."

Meng Pei asked from the side, "What about the problem of him not being able to speak?"

Dr. Zhao shook his head. "I can't examine him yet. I need to wait until he trusts me enough before I can look at his throat and determine if it's a problem with his vocal cords."

You still need to be patient with children.

The group exchanged glances. It seemed that this was all they could do for now; they needed to provide the person with nourishing food first.

Knowing that they were leaving the capital the next day, Shu Yu asked, "Will he be able to travel with us tomorrow?"

Dr. Zhao nodded, "Anyway, we're traveling by water, so there's no need to worry about the bumpy ride. We can hurry on our way."

His words put the others at ease.

As they were talking, Yingxi returned.

She had secretly followed Aunt Hong to her house and inquired about her neighborhood.

"The Hong family is also in the south of the city, about three streets away from here." It was probably because they lived so close that Aunt Hong was able to find out where Meng Yunzheng lived.

Yingxi said, "I asked around among the Hong family's neighbors, and what Aunt Hong said was true. Song Dazhuang was indeed raised by the Hong family before. The head of the Hong family treated Song Dazhuang, his nephew, very well. So they even prepared a bride price for him to marry a wife. That wife's surname was Wei. Wei was indeed taken back by her family a couple of years ago. At that time, this matter caused quite a stir in the neighborhood."

Although the Hong family parents were indeed good to Song Dazhuang, the Hong family children didn't really like this mentally challenged cousin. Because of Song Dazhuang, the Hong family children were often laughed at by the neighborhood kids when they were young.

As people grow older, their relationships naturally become less positive.

Originally, after Song Dazhuang got married, Hong's children wanted him to move out.

However, Old Man Hong disagreed, and the conflict quickly escalated beyond control.

Therefore, when Wei was taken back by her family, Hong's children only made a token attempt to stop her and then didn't bother with it anymore.

Now only Gouwa remains in the Hong family. When Old Man Hong was still alive, he was the head of the family and spoke with authority.

After he passed away six months ago, his sons immediately divided the family property. Aunt Hong stayed with the eldest son, whose wife was very unhappy because she was taking care of Gouwa.
