Chapter 103 The Old, the Weak, the Young and the Disabled



I haven't had time to tell my mother about the precautions on the road yet.

Qu Manman suddenly stamped her feet in anxiety and was extremely annoyed.

Looking at his daughter's appearance, Qu Songsheng couldn't help but feel pity and wanted to laugh in his heart.

I quickly stepped forward to comfort her: "Manman, Mom has gone to the provincial capital. Don't worry, Mom will be back in two days and will bring you a lot of delicious and fun things."

Qu Manman thought to herself, "How can I not be anxious? My mom looks kind and gullible, like a naive naiveté."

Naive and innocent?

Qu Songsheng heard this and thought: This description is quite difficult to fit.

But that was in the past. In the past two days, he clearly felt the changes in his wife.

Lin Wanxia not only mustered up the courage to start a bookstore business, but also became interested in doing business.

Qu Songsheng was very pleased with his wife's changes. He had long hoped that his wife could go out and not be confined to the family.

Now that my wife has started working hard, is she still a naive person in my daughter's eyes?

Ha ha……

Qu Songsheng just laughed in his heart when he heard Qu Manman muttering to herself: "If my mother really gets cheated, my father will be left without a wife, and I will be left without a mother. How tragic that would be!"

[No, I have to catch up quickly.]

Thinking of this, she immediately asked, "Dad, how long has Mom been gone?"

Qu Songsheng: "Calculating the time, your mother's train has already left."

"My dear daughter, it's too late for you to follow your mother to the provincial capital."

"Ah—why so early?"

Qu Manman suddenly felt even more upset, as if she had missed the whole world.

Seeing his daughter's wrinkled face, Qu Songsheng quickly advised: "Manman, don't worry about your mother."

"Your mother is very smart. She is blessed with good fortune. Everything will go smoothly and she will come back soon."

"Yeah?"

Although I was still worried, everyone had left and there was nothing I could do since I couldn't catch up with Qu Manman.

She could only worry secretly in her heart and quickly wash up and eat.

At this moment, Lin Wanxia was already sitting on the rumbling train.

She was sitting in a four-seater seat facing each other. She was sitting on the outside, and a young and pretty girl was sitting by the window inside.

The girl was wearing a brand new dark blue cotton-padded jacket and a bright red scarf, and was reading quietly.

Like college students returning to school after winter vacation.

Sitting opposite Lin Wanxia was a family of three: a small, white-haired old woman and her frail son who was limping and leaning on a cane.

And the little boy of four or five years old who was sandwiched between the two of them, holding their hands tightly.

The clothes of the three men were very tattered, and the cotton was exposed at the cuffs of the little boy's cotton jacket.

The worn cotton shoes on his feet were extremely dirty, and it was obvious that he was living in poverty.

Looking at them, the words "old, weak, young and disabled" suddenly flashed through Lin Wanxia's mind.

But thinking of Qu Manman's words, she tried not to feel sympathy for others and not to greet others casually.

He silently took out his water cup and took out the two buns and an egg that he had hurriedly stuffed into it.

Because she got up early and didn't have time to have breakfast, she decided to eat something to fill her stomach first.

But I only took a bite of the bun.

The little boy opposite was biting his fingers and looking at her eagerly.

Although he didn't say anything, his big eyes were timid and eager, and it looked like his saliva was almost dripping.

It fully shows that he really wants to eat.

It was the first time that Lin Wanxia was stared at by a little child while eating.

She was a little hesitant for a moment, wondering whether she should share some with the little boy.

The white-haired old woman suddenly raised her hand and slapped the little boy: "What are you looking at? Don't stare at me while I'm eating."

"We still have a few hours' drive ahead of us. We'll be home in no time."

"When we get home, grandma will make you some corn dumplings."

The little boy's head tilted when he was hit, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes.

It looks even more pitiful.

I whispered, "Grandma, I'm hungry—"

"Even if you're hungry, you can't be rude to others while they're eating."

The man on crutches also spoke, his expression sorrowful. "Dad is useless and can't earn enough to support you. Wait a few hours until we get home, and you'll have something to eat."

Hearing this, Lin Wanxia couldn't help herself any longer and quickly took out a bun and stuffed it into the little boy's hand: "Eat it."

"How can this be possible? This is your meal, how can we take it?"

While the old woman was still refusing, the little boy had already taken the bun and gobbled it up in a few mouthfuls.

He looks really hungry.

"Be good, little boy. Eat slowly and don't choke. Drink some water first..." Seeing this, Lin Wanxia subconsciously handed over her water cup.

However, the girl next to him took the lead and handed over an orange.

"Children, eat this. This is fruit. It's delicious."

The girl seemed to be attracted by the family and quickly put down the book in her hand and asked, "Grandma, are you and your family going home? What happened?"

When asked this question, the old lady immediately covered her face and started crying.

"I have a miserable life! My son was born disabled since childhood, and I finally got married and had a grandson."

"My wife is dying again. She has been seeking medical treatment for many illnesses, both major and minor, for over ten years, but she still passed away."

"Leaving my grandson as a poor motherless child."

"My old man worked himself to death last year. Now the whole family depends on me alone. How can I support them both?"

"I came to Huaicheng County this time thinking of borrowing some money from relatives so I could get by."

"Who knew that our relatives, disdaining our poverty, would deliberately avoid us? We searched for two days but couldn't find us. Our dry food ran out, and the money we had left was only enough to buy tickets home."
