Chapter 707

Mother Li held Pei Nuo's hand tightly, crying and laughing, with joy written all over her face. It can be seen that she really likes Pei Nuo.

When Pei Nuo saw Li's mother, he changed a little and just looked at Li's mother with soft eyes.

Father Li watched from the side with a frown on his face. After Mother Li’s excitement subsided, he muttered, “Come back if you want. Look at you. You are so old, why are you still crying?”

Li's mother glared at him and said, "Go and weave your baskets. You are so stubborn."

While speaking, he did not let go of Pei Nuo's hand, and said to Sheng Chengan and Zhou Luancheng: "Come in and sit down first. You must be tired from traveling all the way here. Have some tea first. We can talk about anything later."

He led Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Chengan into the yard, brought over small stools for the two to sit on, and then busied himself pouring tea.

Father Li sat aside weaving baskets and ignored the two of them. It was obvious that he was still angry with the old lady.

Because the old lady had just embarrassed him in front of everyone.

Mother Li still had bound feet and walked shakily. She went to fetch herbal tea and poured it for Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Chengan. She didn't bother to ask what they were doing. She took Pei Nuo's hand and looked at him carefully from head to toe. She shook her head as she looked at him, "Why have you lost weight? Look at your little face, you're so skinny, there's no meat on it. Did your parents not give you meat to eat after you passed away?"

Then, he called to Father Li, "Old Li, go kill the chicken and stew it for Xiao Nuo. Look at how thin this girl has become. There is no color on her face at all."

Father Li grumbled a few words in dissatisfaction, but still threw down the basket and got up to catch the chicken from the chicken coop.

Sheng Chengan watched from the side and could see that the two old men were truly kind to Pei Nuo. Father Li was a stubborn old man, but he had a kind heart.

And Li's mother's concern for Pei Nuo came from the heart in her eyes and words.

Look at Pei Nuo’s chubby little face. Since she was born with a small frame, she looks plump but not fat.

When he was confused, Zhou Luancheng could see it clearly.

Mr. and Mrs. Li really love Pei Nuo very much. Could it be that they guessed wrong?

Mother Li then told Father Li to catch the biggest chicken and slaughter it. After holding Pei Nuo's hand and repeating many times that she had lost weight, she remembered to talk to Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Chengan.

"Are you here to send Xiao Nuo back? Or is there something else?"

Zhou Luancheng gently said that he was here to investigate an old case that had something to do with Pei Nuo, and then asked Li's mother: "Do you know Pei Nuo's background?"

Li's mother didn't hear clearly: "What happened to Xiaonuo? Does he have lice? Oh, how can they take care of the child? Xiaonuo has been with us for so many years and has never had lice. He has only been back with them for a few months, how come he has lice?"

Zhou Luancheng pressed his temples, feeling a little dizzy, and his voice became a little higher: "I'm not talking about lice, I'm talking about Pei Nuo's life experience and her biological mother."

Mother Li heard it clearly this time and frowned for a while: "What background? We raised him. Xiao Nuo is our child. Why are you asking about this?"

Zhou Luancheng nodded: "It's very important because it involves other cases and Xiaonuo's biological father, so we came to you to investigate."

Although Li's mother was a little hard of hearing, she was still very smart: "Why don't you just ask Haishan and his wife? If you ask us, we don't know either. Besides, Xiaonuo has always been like this, what can she know?"

Zhou Luancheng waited for Mother Li to finish her complaints before continuing, "Then do you know about Xiao Nuo's biological father?"

Afraid that Mother Li couldn't hear clearly, he asked very loudly.

Mother Li looked at Zhou Luancheng with dissatisfaction: "You don't have to be so loud, I can hear you. Didn't Xiaonuo's biological father run away? Why did he show up again? What stupid things did he do?"

After that, he started to criticize: "You know, Xiao Nuo's mother is such a good child, how could she fall in love with a second-rate guy, and finally give birth to a child? It's really a sin to meet such a thing."

Sheng Cheng'an was a little surprised. Mrs. Pei insisted that Pei Nuo was the child of Mr. Pei and the female student, but her mother didn't think so.

I couldn't help but test it out: "The imperial teacher also said that Xiao Nuo is Professor Pei's daughter."

The voice was not loud, but Li's mother heard it. She turned her head and glared at Sheng Chengan with dissatisfaction: "Who is talking nonsense like this? I will tear her mouth apart. How could Xiao Nuo be Haishan's child outside? If that's the case, can we raise her?"

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. "These people are so stupid. They said that when Xiao Nuo was in Beijing before, and my daughter said the same thing. They actually believed it. I'm just talking about her. Let's not talk about anything else. What kind of person is Haishan? He would never do such a thing outside."

"My daughter wanted to divorce Pei Haishan at that time, and in the end, her father and I scolded her. No one would believe this with a brain. I also said, since the child is here with you, and you guys are arguing, then we will take the child away to raise him."

"That's how we came to the south with our child. Look at this child, she's already pitiful enough. Why don't those gossipers let her go?"

The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and he mentioned many things about how Pei Nuo almost couldn't survive as a child.

Sheng Chengan and Zhou Luancheng listened in silence and found that Li's mother really loved her child. She even wiped away tears when she talked about her sadness. If this was not the love from the heart.

That only proved that Li's mother's acting skills were really superb. The two looked at each other and decided not to mention this matter for the time being.

Li's mother didn't care why Zhou Luancheng came here. When she saw that Li's father had killed the chicken, she hurried over to boil water and pluck the chicken feathers.

Sheng Cheng'an went over to help, watching the old man add water to the pot skillfully, then squat down to light a fire.

He doesn't look like an eighty-something at all.

He made small talk: "Grandma, you look so healthy. You look like you are in your sixties."

Li's mother didn't hear clearly again: "This much water is enough. Adding more water will be useless."

Sheng Chengan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What was going on? However, the old lady's ears were good when she was thinking well, but when she wasn't thinking well, she could hear wrong things.

He raised his voice and repeated it, and Li's mother finally heard clearly: "You are not young at all, we are already over 80 years old, and we are just trying to stay alive, living one day at a time. But the witch in town is pretty good at treating illnesses. She prescribed pills for us, and we don't even catch a cold normally."

After saying that, he remembered something and called Father Li: "Go and call Grandma Bu to come and have dinner with us. She also likes Xiao Nuo."

When Pei Nuo heard Grandma Bu's words, she immediately jumped up from her seat on a stool eating candy and hugged Sheng Chengan. Her movements were so fast that even Mother Li was startled.
