Chapter 169: One of the World's Various Situations
Someone reported the case, the police came to deal with the body, and after the dust settled, everyone was still sighing. This incident spread to various places and became a topic of conversation for people after dinner.
As time goes by, no one will remember them.
And they have never lived in other people's memories.
How did Fu Yuling find out later? It was when Fu's mother mentioned it unintentionally when she and Fu's mother were sitting in the yard chatting.
"Mom, where are you talking about?"
Fu Yuling stood up suddenly with a serious expression.
Fu's mother didn't know what happened, so she recounted the story: "He was a beggar in the town. I heard he had more than a dozen children. But in the end, everything was lost in a fire."
Mother Fu couldn't help but lament, "Those children are so pitiful, they are still so young."
Fu Yuling couldn't bear to listen any more and wanted to leave, but this incident happened several days ago.
She recalled what the beggar had said before, asking her not to go back.
Only then did she remember how resolute his expression was at that time.
It's just that I realized it now, but it's still a little too late.
For a moment, she felt bad. More than a dozen lives were lost just like that, and what finally crushed them was never the last straw, but all the accumulated emotions that had never been released.
Do good people really get good rewards? The answer to this question is never accurate.
But this incident did not bring good news to Fu Yuling. The adoptive father of the beggar had a mental breakdown because his child did not stay in this world. He snatched the child from the traffickers and raised him himself, but in the end, he was beaten to death by the parents of the child he rescued.
As for the beggar, it seems that the only reason he is alive in this world is because he has his adoptive father.
At that time, the person who raised him was gone all of a sudden, just like a person being locked in a room with only one light. You regard that light as your only thing, but one day, that light goes out. You are at a loss, you can't stand such a life, so you choose to give up.
Fu Yuling sat down again. She thought that the beggar must have thought for a long time before he left. He loved those children the most, so how could he bear to let them leave this world before they grew up?
I don’t know whether he finally figured it out or not, but anyway, he won’t come back.
There are many stories belonging to other people in a person's life, but the one about the beggar is more tragic. It is also the most common thing that makes one reflect on oneself at a certain time.
The big tree in the small courtyard still had green leaves. He Wen was reading a book in the room. He Qiu and He An were in Fu Yuling's room studying medicinal herbs. He Xuan was imitating the animals he had seen and showing it to Fu's father, which made the silent Fu's father grin.
After a few days, Fu's father and mother were still worried about Fu Yuling, and insisted on coming to Fu Yuling's place very early every day and staying until very late before going back.
They had already quit their previous jobs at Fu Yuling's advice. Fu Qi's daily income from breakfast was enough to live on, and as he was getting older, it was time for him to start enjoying his life.
Living in a small village, the villagers are basically polarized. The simple and honest ones are not greedy and just want to live their own lives, while the sarcastic and mean ones can't stand seeing anyone being good, and the thick-skinned ones want everything.
But no matter what, these are just part of the world.
