Chapter 82: Gratitude

He walked very carefully along the way, avoiding pedestrians like a thief. When he was tired, he squatted on the ground to rest, and when he was hungry, he looked for food in the trash can.

In the blink of an eye, it was daybreak and more and more people were walking on the street.

Afraid of being discovered, he hid in the trash can and dared not go out.

I felt a little angry. If someone saw me, I would be sent home.

The woman I hated last night is going to send me home.

My grandma will definitely scold me when I get home, and it won’t be easy to find my mom then.

Her eyes gradually became moist and she hugged her legs and cried.

Mom, where are you? I miss you so much.

Shi Yanchu sat in the Public Security Bureau with a sullen face.

"The child went missing last night. We searched all night but couldn't find him."

Sen Lingyin looked serious, "How old is the child?"

"Two years old."

"What does he look like? What was he wearing when he disappeared?"

"She is pretty and delicate, very good-looking, I don't know what clothes she wears."

Sen Lingyin frowned when he heard it.

How can a parent be a good parent when he/she comes to report the case but doesn’t know what the child was wearing before he/she went missing?

"Are you the child's father?"

"No, I'm the child's great uncle."

"Where are the child's father and mother?"

"Not at home."

After understanding the general situation, Sen Lingyin stood up and said, "Got it. We will do our best to find it."

The tall and strong Deputy Director Zhang Tianming walked in from outside. He glanced at Shi Yanchu who stood up. His mouth opened in surprise. The next second, he walked over to greet him with a smile.

"Yan Chu, why are you here? Are you here to see me?"

He touched his head and said embarrassedly, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Shi Yanchu raised his eyebrows, "I did come to look for you, but you are so busy that I didn't find you. Instead, I found Director Mori."

Zhang Tianming laughed heartily and put his hand on his shoulder. "We are friends. If you have any problem, just tell me. I will definitely help you if I can."

Sen Lingyin's eyes wandered between the two of them suspiciously, "Do you two know each other?"

Zhang Tianming said loudly, "More than knowing each other, Yan Chu and I have been friends for many years."

Letting the hand on his shoulder rest, Shi Yanchu's cold lips curved, "That's right, we have been friends for many years."

Sen Lingyin's serious expression softened a little. "Since everyone knows each other, let's hurry up and find the child sooner so that we can go home sooner. It's not good for such a young child to be outside."

Zhang Tianming was shocked when he heard this, "Yan Chu, your child is missing?"

Shi Yanchu nodded with a heavy face, "My brother's child is lost."

"What are you waiting for? Go find it now!"

Zhang Tianming hurriedly organized his subordinates to look for him, and he himself followed suit.

Almost the entire Public Security Bureau was dispatched to search for him, leaving only a few people behind to deal with emergencies.

Although little Wensheng was young, he had a sharp mind. He hid until night when he was so hungry that he came out to look for food. He was then found by the police and Shi Yanchu who had been looking for him.

Shi Yanchu thanked the people in the Public Security Bureau profusely and promised to treat them to dinner in two days. Then he took his nephew home with a cold face.

Little Wen Sheng was so scared that he was trembling with fear and didn't dare to struggle at all.

My uncle is more terrifying than my father.

Whenever my father got angry, he would only scold me and never hit me, but it was possible that my uncle would really hit me.

I am small but not stupid. I know in front of whom and when I should be obedient and not resist in order to avoid being beaten.

When Li Taohua saw little Wen Sheng returning safely, she first smiled and hugged him in her arms to be intimate with him. The next second, her expression immediately changed and she pressed him on her knees and beat him severely, scolding him angrily.

"You idiot! You don't want to learn good things at your young age, but you have learned all the stupid things from your mother. If you dare to run away from home next time, I will beat you to death!"

He was merciless and soon there were several bright red slap marks on Xiao Wensheng's white and tender buttocks.

No matter how much pain she was in, little Wen Sheng held back her tears until she heard her grandmother say bad things about her mother, then she couldn't help crying.

Grandma is talking nonsense, there is nothing messy on Mom!

Grandma is a bad girl. Don't like her! Hate her!

Guan Meiling quickly stepped forward and grabbed her mother-in-law's hand, trying to stop her. "It's good that the child is back. Why are you hitting the child? The child is so young, what can he understand? What does his sister-in-law's business have to do with him? You are going too far."

Little Wenzhu watched nervously from the side and wanted to step forward to stop his grandmother, but he didn't dare to go over for fear that the angry grandmother would hit him as well.

After watching his mother teach his nephew a lesson, Shi Yanchu finally spoke, "Mom, this matter ends here. Take good care of the child from now on and sleep with him at night for the time being. Everything will be arranged after Yanjin comes back."

Both her daughter-in-law and son tried to stop her from beating the child, so Li Taohua just went along with it and let the child go, snorting coldly.

"I'll let you go this time, but if you don't learn your lesson next time, I'll show you how I'll punish you!"

Guan Meiling lowered her head and secretly pouted in her heart.

You only pick on the weak. If your brother and sister-in-law were here, I wonder if you would dare to hit the child.

Little Wen Sheng cried heartbrokenly. He wanted to speak but couldn't. He gestured with his little hands to find his mother.

Shi Yanchu's eyes flickered slightly. He walked to his nephew, squatted down, and stared at him. He asked softly with a slightly seductive voice, "Want to find your mother?"

Little Wensheng wiped his tears and nodded vigorously, feeling very happy that someone could understand his gestures.

Even though this person was the annoying uncle, he still raised his hand happily and continued to gesture.

"Uncle, can you take me to find my mother?"

I raised my head and looked at him hopefully, waiting for his answer.

Shi Yanchu curled his lips and smiled faintly, reaching out to gently stroke his furry little head, and said in a light voice, "Of course you can." His drooping long eyelashes hid the sharp cold light in his eyes that could hardly be hidden.

Not everyone can abandon his or her brother.

My brother holds her in his hands for fear of dropping her, and holds her in his mouth for fear of melting her.

For a few years, she enjoyed the pampering and service from her family with a clear conscience, but then they just walked away. How could such a good thing happen in the world?

Guan Meiling had a bad feeling in her heart and looked up at her husband, "What do you want to do?"

Shi Yanchu looked at his wife with dark eyes and said with cool lips, "Don't you see that the child is almost going crazy missing his mother? Of course, you should take the child to find his mother."

Li Taohua stared at the unknown front, lost in thought, mumbling, "Looking for Ruoxi?"

Shi Yanchu nodded affirmatively, "I plan to let Meiling go with you and take the children to Beijing to find your brother and sister-in-law. The children are still so young and cannot leave their biological mother. What do you think?"

Li Taohua had already made plans, and was completely persuaded. Her wavering look became firm.

"You're right. These children cannot be without their biological mother. I'll pack up and take the children to find Ruoxi."

Guan Meiling was stunned and shivered in her heart.

My sister-in-law is capable of running away secretly, so she definitely doesn’t want to come back. But my husband wants to take my mother-in-law and the children to Beijing to find her. What should I do?

Although I feel that what my brother's sister-in-law did was not right, I cannot advise others to do good without experiencing their suffering. As a bystander, it is difficult for me to make a conclusion or interfere.

I wanted to persuade my husband and mother-in-law, but I didn't know how to say it.

No matter what I say, I can only say that my sister-in-law has done a very messed up thing!

Meng Ruoxi slept until she woke up naturally, and was dragged by Li Aihua to wash and dress up to visit her mentor.

"Ruoxi, the reason you were able to avoid the mine and go to Wagang Village when you went to the countryside was largely thanks to the help of your teacher. Now that you are back, you must thank him."

Meng Ruoxi nodded, "I know. I was planning to visit her in a few days, but I didn't expect that my mother would think of it before me."

In my memory, this teacher was very kind and helpful to me, and I really plan to visit her in a few days.

My mother is very good at dealing with people. She has planned everything early on, so all you have to do is listen to her.

Li Aihua smiled comfortably, "I am very happy that you thought of visiting my teacher. I will repay a drop of kindness with a spring. I will have no regrets and no worries in my life. We, the Meng family, should always be grateful no matter where we are."

Having been a teacher for a lifetime, Li Aihua cannot be said to be selfless, but overall she is definitely a fair, just and upright teacher. The thing she cannot accept the most in her life is ungrateful people.

They think that he has a bad character and is not worthy of being a human being!
