Chapter 768 Rely on Yourself
Gu Peng walked into the house and said, "I saw it."
Huizi quickly followed him, "We found the mother and child you mentioned, but the woman has remarried and has a child with the man. But the child you mentioned has become a wild child with no one to take care of him since his mother remarried. He has no food to eat. When we found the child, he was being beaten by a man who said that the child had stolen something..."
Gu Peng found a chair and sat down. The room was quite messy. The table was still covered with dishes from dinner, with leftovers on them.
Huizi noticed his gaze and tried to explain awkwardly, but Gu Peng didn't want to listen to his explanation and said directly, "I haven't eaten yet. Bring me something to eat."
Huizi responded readily, "Okay, I'll call Yan Zi right now and ask her to cook you some side dishes and a bowl of noodles, how about that?"
When he heard the word Yan Zi, Gu Peng thought of the woman who had been clinging to him that day, and frowned slightly, "No need for her, go buy her for me."
"That's fine. How about Qin's meat buns and two side dishes? Qin's meat buns are famous in our Ancheng County."
Gu Peng nodded, and Huizi didn't go alone. He ran out to call someone to buy food for Gu Peng. After giving instructions, he went back to the room to talk to Gu Peng.
Qin's Steamed Bun Shop is not far from here, and the meal was bought in less than a quarter of an hour.
Gu Peng was really hungry. He couldn't eat well on the train, so he just took the buns and started eating.
When I was eating the third bun, someone outside called me Huizi.
Just now, Huizi asked someone to buy food and also asked someone to bring the child over.
The child is here now and is outside.
Huizi brought the child directly to Gu Peng.
A boy about 10 years old, dark and thin, with long hair.
The clothes must have been specially washed after being found by these people, so they are still neat and clean.
Only his pair of eyes, clearly in black and white, looked vigilantly at the surroundings and Gu Peng in front of him.
Gu Peng took a bite of the bun nonchalantly and looked at the boy in front of him.
Especially the look in his eyes, I couldn't help but sneer in my heart.
Human evil is innate.
Even in different living environments, there is a type of people who will never be kind.
He only thinks selfishly about himself, does what is best for himself, and always puts himself first. Even when facing his relatives, he only thinks about the benefits he can get.
Gu Peng saw that his eyes fell on the buns in front of him, and lingered on the buns more than once, and he couldn't hide his eyes.
"Want some buns?"
The boy swallowed and looked at Gu Peng without saying a word.
Gu Peng picked up a bun and threw it over.
The boy quickly reached out to take the bun, then stuffed it into his mouth, wolfing it down as if he was afraid that Gu Peng would go back on his word.
Huizi was so angry that he hit him on the head. "You little bastard, you look like you haven't eaten in your eight lifetimes. I called you here and you ate and drank every meal. Are you trying to make things difficult for me in front of the boss?"
It made it seem like he didn't take good care of the child.
Huizi looked at Gu Peng somewhat uneasily, but felt relieved when he saw that the latter didn't care and just watched the boy eat.
After he stuffed a bun into his mouth, Gu Peng asked him, "What's your name and how old are you?"
The boy still had a bun in his mouth and replied incoherently, "Sun Goudan, 10 years old."
After he finished speaking, he looked at the buns in front of Gu Peng.
Gu Peng did not give him any more this time, but asked, "Do you want to have meat buns to eat and new clothes to wear every day in the future?"
The boy looked at Gu Peng again, without saying anything, but his eyes told it all.
This is a complete egoist.
Gu Peng stood up and walked in front of him.
A ten-year-old child is only as tall as his waist.
He was dark and thin, with a scar on his face, which showed that he had been beaten.
It's completely different from what it looked like in the previous life.
"When did your mother stop wanting you? Do you remember how your father died?"
Facing the pair of eyes that were no longer clear at the age of ten, Gu Peng said, "A good life is earned by one's own efforts. Your mother doesn't want you anymore. If you want to live a good life, you can only rely on yourself..."
………………………………
The weather has been rainy for several days in a row, and it has become even hotter and more humid.
Early in the morning, the sun seemed to be hiding in thick clouds. Even without strong sunlight, it still felt scorching and unbearable.
The air is filled with water vapor, and people in such an environment feel like they are in a sauna all the time.
Even if the weather is like this, the working people will still get up early and go to work in the fields.
After all, the temperature is still lower in the morning. If the temperature really rises again at noon, it will not be long before you get heatstroke.
A lot of people gathered at the vegetable wholesale market in Qinjia Village early in the morning.
As early as the beginning of this spring, Wang Cheng led his people to plant a batch of poplar trees in a planned manner around the wholesale market and in the market.
However, the young poplar saplings have not grown up yet. Even if they have sprouted and grown leaves, they are only a little bigger than the top of the basket and can't provide any shade at all.
Qin Wen was guarding his basket of eggplants, lazily watching the people coming and going in the market.
Suddenly I saw a familiar figure and I immediately became alert.
"Brother, are you here to serve the food again?"
Li Guangyuan had already seen Qin Wen. Upon hearing what he said, he looked at the basket of eggplants in front of him. He felt disgusted but did not show it on his face.
"Yeah, are you here to sell vegetables again?"
"I only have these eggplants at home. If I don't sell them quickly after the rain, they will all rot in the field. Why don't you take a look and see if you can sell them? If you can, please bring them to me so I don't have to waste time here in this hot weather."
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Li Guangyuan.
"If we talk about the hardest-working people, we are the farmers. No matter what the weather is, we have to take care of our small piece of land, otherwise we will have nothing to eat or drink. We are not like the businessmen who stay in the office, enjoy the fan and drink tea, and make a lot of money. When they go out, they drive cars. I heard that the cars are equipped with air conditioners, which are more useful than fans..."
Li Guangyuan lit a cigarette and squatted beside Qin Wen, listening to him chattering.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention any names, but their words were meaningful and the listeners knew who they were talking about.
Li Guangyuan didn't know what he was feeling now. Ever since he had that dream, especially when Lin Jiayi admitted that she had lived a new life, he became more certain that Lin Chuxia should be his wife.
His originally happy life was ruined, but he didn't know how to turn the situation around.
He came to the Qinjia Village Vegetable Wholesale Market. He disliked Qin Wen, but was also looking forward to meeting Qin Wen.
Only Qin Wen would tell him more about Lin Chuxia.
As if she had heard it so many times, Lin Chuxia moved closer to him.
