"My parents will come to see you again in a few days." Le Yao also picked up some sunflower seeds and started cracking them open.
"Is your dad's leg really alright?" Liu Su'e was still very concerned about this.
“I’m really fine now.” Le Yao shook her head. “But I can’t do heavy work for the time being and I need to rest for a while, but I can walk without any problems.”
"That's good." Liu Su'e breathed a sigh of relief. "Otherwise, my sister would have suffered."
“Auntie,” Han Xiangdong said, pulling out an envelope. “This is the 20,000 yuan that Uncle sent overnight. It’s useless; Alan paid for it all.”
"Why wasn't it used?" Liu Su'e couldn't help but glance at Le Yao, "Alan's money..."
"Don't worry, Auntie. Even if my biological father is a scoundrel, my biological mother left me a considerable inheritance." Le Yao straightened her back. "This amount of money is nothing to me." Although she was still poor in front of people like Nangong Jue and Qiao Qiao, she could show off a little here.
"Okay." Liu Su'e took the money without even opening it and stuffed it into the drawer. "If you need anything in the future, just tell Auntie. I don't have much, but I can still scrape together ten or twenty thousand."
"Thank you, Auntie." Han Xiangdong nodded.
Liu Su'e patted Han Xiangdong on the shoulder: "Why are you being so polite with your aunt? By the way, you should be looking for a partner soon. Do you know anyone suitable? What kind of person are you looking for? Your aunt will help you find someone..."
"Auntie, I'm not in a hurry." Han Xiangdong blushed when he heard this. Why did everyone want to introduce him to potential partners? It made him feel like he was destined to be a bachelor.
“How can you not be in a hurry? You’re already…” Liu Su’e glared.
"Auntie, we can talk about my matter later. Alan needs to talk to you right now," Han Xiangdong quickly changed the subject.
"What's the matter?" Liu Su'e's attention was indeed diverted.
"Auntie, I want to ask you something." Le Yao glanced at Han Xiangdong. "It's about Shuo Shuo's family in Shangmatun. What's the situation there?"
"Terrible!" Liu Su'e sighed. "Their family... is truly miserable. That truck driver deserved to die."
Next, Liu Su'e told me about the Lin family, which was basically the same as what Nangong Jue had investigated.
"Actually, Mr. and Mrs. Lin were willing to raise that child. You know, in the countryside, children can be raised as long as they have enough to eat. But his daughter-in-law disagreed. I heard privately that Xiao Bo's wife demanded that the government arrange a job for her eldest son at a big company in the city, allocate her an apartment, and give her a few hundred thousand yuan before she would be willing to raise him..."
Le Yao frowned. Wasn't that asking for too much?
"What is she thinking?" Han Xiangdong was both amused and exasperated. "The country doesn't owe her anything."
"That's exactly what I'm saying. Besides, even if they really had the means, I doubt Xiao Bo's wife would treat the child well..." Liu Su'e shook her head. "That woman is just a money-grubber..."
After having lunch at her aunt's house, Le Yao went to the Lin family's house. It was clear that they were not well-off. The two elderly people were nice, and the son was honest and didn't say much, but the daughter-in-law's words were really harsh. She even complained that they hadn't given money when they visited, only some gifts.
"Xiao Bo's wife, we just came to take a look out of sympathy. If you don't care, then we'll take it." Liu Su'e knew this woman's temperament and reached out to take the pastries away.
