Shu Miao was worried that he would act impulsively, so she quickly grabbed his arm and whispered her guesses and doubts to him.
What puzzled her most was that if the woman was really the mother of "Little Sweet Potato", why didn't she just state the reason directly?
She just didn't believe that the police would send her back to her hometown after learning that she was there to look for her child.
The woman's polite words and actions really didn't seem like she was from a poor place.
Unlike Shu Miao who was still racking his brains to analyze, Zili still completely believed that the woman was the mother of "Little Digu".
Seeing that the woman was exhausted and fell behind, he kept winking at Shu Miao anxiously:
People are falling behind, why don’t you think of a solution quickly!
Shu Miao had no choice but to comfort him first, patting the back of his hand and telling him to calm down.
As the ox cart swayed and just arrived at Yue'er Bay, some people wanted to get off, so Shu Miao and Zi Li got off as well.
After saying hello to Uncle Li, he ran away side by side with Zili.
Until the other party could no longer see their figures, they immediately went into the woods nearby and squatted down.
After the ox cart passed, the two men jumped out and walked back immediately.
Zili was much more anxious than her, sometimes running in front, sometimes running behind, and kept urging her in her ear.
"Hurry up, hurry up, what if we lose someone?"
Seeing him so impatient, Shu Miao suddenly didn't want to leave anymore. He stopped and looked at him in confusion.
"Why do you believe everything I say? What if it's not true?"
"Listen to what you are saying. Is there anything wrong with you being so determined?" Zili scratched his head, also expressing his confusion.
Shu Miao: "..."
She was shocked and speechless. Doesn't this person have a brain?
After being speechless, she chose to ignore the fool and passed him directly.
"Eh? Leaving now?" Zili was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly followed, muttering something under his breath.
Soon, the two saw a figure lying on the side of the road from a distance. They were shocked and quickened their pace.
The woman heard footsteps and opened her eyes with difficulty. She saw Shu Miao's familiar face and her cracked lips opening and closing.
Although I couldn't hear clearly what she said, I could still understand that she wanted to drink water.
Shu Miao subconsciously looked at Zi Li. Zi Li's face turned bitter, and he reluctantly took out his water gourd from the backpack and handed it to the woman's mouth.
The woman struggled to sit up, grabbed the gourd and poured the water into her mouth impatiently.
"Cough cough cough..." The woman accidentally choked because she drank too quickly.
Even more anxious than her was Zili. He rubbed his hands unconsciously, looking at the woman and then at his sister.
He looked so anxious that he just wanted the woman to speak immediately so that he could confirm her identity.
Shu Miao didn't even look at him, just sat on the ground and quietly watched the woman's every move.
After drinking the water, the woman regained some strength. She did not return the gourd immediately, but wiped off the black fingerprints on the gourd with her sleeve before handing it over.
"Thank you, young comrades."
This time the woman didn't try to use a local accent, but instead expressed her gratitude in fluent Mandarin.
This really scared Zi Li, and he immediately understood why his younger sister suspected the mother of the woman named "Little Sweet Potato".
Because in the entire brigade, only Lin Zhiqing could speak such pure Mandarin, but the prerequisite was that Lin Zhiqing's hometown was in the capital!
But in other words, if the person in front of me was really from the capital, how could he be in such a miserable situation?
Just when he was too self-doubting to ask, Shu Miao suddenly spoke out.
"You're looking for the kid with the heart problem."
The woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she stared at the girl, tears falling uncontrollably.
She struggled to stand up and crawled to the girl's side, her voice trembling.
"How is my daughter?"
Shu Miao breathed a sigh of relief and decisively stood up and took two steps back. "Why don't you go and see for yourself and find out?"
