As a result, as soon as she looked up, she saw Old Man Wang looking at her with an embarrassed expression, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
"What's wrong, old man? Is there something wrong with you?"
Seeing Li Mingxi staring at him, Old Man Wang slowly began to speak.
"Nothing much, I'm just leaving here soon, so I wanted to tell you that I don't know anyone else here except you!"
"What?"
Li Mingxi couldn't believe his ears. Why did Old Man Wang leave when everything was fine?
Could it be that something is wrong? But that doesn't make sense. Old Man Wang's relatives, apart from asking the old man for things, shouldn't they have anything else to do?
While Li Mingxi was thinking about this, he heard Old Man Wang talking.
"Nothing much. Just now, there was news that my wife had returned and had been found. So, I thought about going home to see her."
Upon hearing this, Li Mingxi immediately became alert.
Her first reaction was disbelief. After all, according to Old Man Wang, it was the old lady who left on her own.
It's been so many years, and now you suddenly say she's back?
There is a big problem here!
So, she asked directly what she was thinking, "Grandpa, who told you this? Is the information accurate?"
The reason she said this was because she suddenly remembered that this old man was an old Chinese doctor.
Now that the policies are good, some people want to take advantage of them to do something. What if it is someone in his family who wants to use the old man's previous reputation to gain benefits?
Knowing that Li Mingxi was concerned about him, Old Man Wang directly told him about the people from his hometown who were looking for him.
Li Mingxi pressed on, "Is this person reliable? Could it be that someone from your family deliberately leaked the information?"
Hearing this, Old Man Wang looked up at Li Mingxi in confusion. The people in his family would not care about him at all, so why would they tell him this news? Do they have nothing to do?
Afraid that Old Man Wang would misunderstand him, Li Mingxi directly expressed his thoughts.
"The current policy has been relaxed. It won't be long before there are policies allowing private transactions. I'm afraid this is just a smokescreen your family is deliberately throwing out to get you to go back!"
After hearing this, Old Man Wang understood.
He understood what Li Mingxi meant, but he couldn't care less now. His wife, who had disappeared for so many years, suddenly came back, which was already a strange thing.
Regardless of whether this news is true or false, he wants to go back and take a look! Otherwise, he can't feel at ease!
Sighing, he slowly said, "I understand what you said, but now that we finally have some news, I have to go back and take a look no matter what. Otherwise, I'll be really worried!"
Listening to Old Man Wang's earnest words and looking at his pleading eyes, Li Mingxi couldn't bear to say it out loud and told him not to let the old man go back.
After all, this has been the old man's concern for so many years. If he is not allowed to go back and take a look, he will definitely be unwilling to give up.
But Li Mingxi was worried about letting an old man go back alone.
After a little thought, Li Mingxi spoke.
"When are you leaving? I'll see if I can go with you."
After all, Li Mingxi is a little girl, so Old Man Wang naturally doesn't feel comfortable letting her go with him.
Although he is returning home, who knows what will happen to his family after he returns?
If that group of people have any bad intentions at that time, I will directly harm Xiaoxi as well!
Thinking of this, Old Man Wang directly rejected Li Mingxi's kindness.
"No need, Xiaoxi, I can go back by myself!"
As soon as Li Mingxi saw Old Man Wang's expression, she knew what he was thinking. But the old man was so old after all, and she was really worried about letting him go back alone.
Therefore, she spoke directly in a tone that did not allow for rejection.
"No, tell me, you're already that old, how can I be at ease if you go home alone?"
"If something happens to you, who will know?"
Having said that, seeing that Old Man Wang was a little unhappy, Li Mingxi slowed down his tone and spoke.
"How about this, you wait a couple of days and I'll ask around to see if anyone wants to go next door. It's a good time for you to think about what's going on."
What Li Mingxi didn’t say was that if the old lady really wanted to find Old Man Wang and couldn’t see him, she should have come here directly!
But if the people in Old Man Wang's family wanted to trick him into going back, and saw that Old Man Wang was reluctant to go back, they would soon send someone to urge him to go back.
Who knows, if no one shows up, someone else might come and inform Old Man Wang!
Seeing that Li Mingxi was determined not to let him go, Old Man Wang sighed. If he had known this earlier, he would not have told Li Mingxi.
Now he couldn't leave even if he wanted to! He had to wait for a while, and he didn't know if his wife would still be there when he returned!
But, in the final analysis, this child is also doing this for his own good.
Speaking of which, after going through the terrible things at home, he really didn't expect that he would meet a good kid like Li Mingxi!
Li Mingxi didn't care what Old Man Wang thought. After talking to him for a while, he went out to find a car!
She was lucky, as soon as she went out, she met Brother Simao.
As soon as she saw Brother Simao, she immediately went up to him happily and greeted him.
"Brother Simao, why are you here?"
Simao was having a day off today, so he thought of riding his bike around to see if there were any good things here. So he just ran here directly.
Look, when he saw Li Mingxi for the first time, he was very happy and asked directly.
"Xiao Xi, how come you have time to come to the county town today?"
"I have nothing to do at home, so I thought of coming to the county town to take a look!"
Li Mingxi was anxious to find a car and didn't have much time to talk to Brother Simao.
Looking at the sky, Li Mingxi thought that if he couldn't find the donkey cart, it would probably be dark by the time he got home!
Looking at the anxious expression on Li Mingxi's face, Simao guessed that something might have happened.
I asked directly, "Xiao Xi, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so anxious? Did something happen?"
Li Mingxi was originally very anxious, but when she heard what Simao said, she looked up and immediately had an idea in her mind.
She knew what Brother Simao was capable of. It should be much easier to talk to Brother Simao about her own difficult problems, right?
Thinking of this, she asked.
"Brother Simao, are you okay? If you don't have anything to do, please help me!"
Simao was fine originally. When he saw Li Mingxi asking him, he answered truthfully.
"I don't have anything to do today. What's the matter? From the look of it, do you want my help?"
After a pause, he continued, "Tell me about it, I'll see if I can help."
