Chapter 79 Misfortune Finds the Unfortunate
As soon as the words fell, everyone's expression froze.
No wonder Cao Li’s body was never found in the village…
It turned out that she was not dead at all.
While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, a serious look appeared on their faces.
Then... would Cao Li be willing to come and see Niu Niu?
Would she be willing to meet this child who represented her dark and painful experiences?
[Good boy, another reversal.]
【but……】
[It's easy to find a corpse, but it's not easy to find a living person.]
I'm afraid Cao Li won't come. I remember seeing a family search program where an orphan went on the show looking for his mother, only to find out later that his mother had been abducted and trafficked.
Even though she knew her child was looking for her, the mother did not come to meet him.
[Wow, wow, wow, I'm about to cry. We are all miserable people.]
【Misfortune favors the unfortunate.】
The police officer also had mixed feelings.
He has handled similar cases before.
But many of the abducted people who were lucky enough to escape no longer have the courage to face that dark experience.
He sighed: "Anyway, let's give it a try."
Jiang Xu: "If that doesn't work, please bring back a strand of her hair."
Officer Zhang didn't understand, but he knew Jiang Xu must have her reasons for saying that, so he nodded.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
Qi Xi turned around and saw Kong Manning's eyes were red, and asked with concern.
Kong Manning's eyes were filled with unwavering sadness: "Nothing... I just feel very sorry."
They are clearly mother and son, but due to the tricks of life, they cannot see each other.
Just like her and her daughter...
She wiped her eyes and looked at Jiang Xu, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.
After a while, he sighed.
Forget it, I've waited for so long, it doesn't matter if I wait a little longer.
Let’s talk about it after the show.
"I'm sorry, I cry easily when I get older. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."
Everyone shook their heads.
Stories like this make everyone feel indescribable.
Why is it said that I am laughing at you?
"Mom, be careful, I'll support you."
Qi Xi supported her arm, his face full of concern. No one noticed the dark light that flashed in her eyes under her drooping long eyelashes.
Except for Jiang Xu.
…
By the time we returned to the farmer's house where we were staying, it was already very dark.
The villagers all rushed to watch the fun in the afternoon and were just starting to prepare dinner at this time.
The guests had nothing to do, so they all helped in the cooking.
Jiang Yu rolled up his sleeves and skillfully helped to pickle the dried vegetables and wash the bacon.
Jiang Xu was also prepared to help, so he was assigned a cup of hot water.
A handful of candy was stuffed into his hand.
"Sit still, your job is to finish it."
"If you're hungry, have some candy."
Jiang Xu was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Thank you."
[Wow, so domineering, I like it~]
[Is this the love of the movie star brother? It’s so sweet and hot~]
【I won’t tell you who got spoiled.】
At this moment, there was a light knock on the door.
"Uncle Chen, can you lend me some bacon?" a weak voice came.
"sure."
Uncle Chen readily agreed, then cut off a large piece of bacon and gave her some chicken.
Mao Xiaoxiao thanked him quickly and was about to turn around and leave when a voice called her from behind.
Jiang Xu walked up to her and looked at her gently.
"May I have your name?"
Mao Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, then said his name.
Jiang Xu smiled and rubbed her head, then took out a few candies from his pocket: "Good girl, do you want some candy?"
Mao Xiaoxiao looked at these colorful candies and felt a little moved. She glanced at Uncle Chen and saw that he had no objection. Then she carefully took one, thanked him and left.
No one noticed that a small piece of talisman paper slipped down her sleeve and quietly into Mao Xiaoxiao's pocket.
"Ah, this is also a poor child." Looking at her thin back, Uncle Chen couldn't help but sigh.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Xu asked.
Seeing that she was interested, Uncle Chen became interested.
"Mao Xiaoxiao's parents are from the countryside, and they have a deep-rooted preference for boys over girls. After giving birth to Mao Xiaoxiao, they left her with her mother-in-law and went to work in the city."
Throughout the year, he never even comes back for the Chinese New Year.
Even when he finally came back, he would either beat or scold Mao Xiaoxiao, not to mention spending money to buy her clothes or snacks.
After Mao Xiaoxiao's grandmother passed away, her life became even more difficult.
They almost survived by relying on the help of people in their village.
"Hey, at her age, she should be in school, seeing the world... But we have families to take care of. We'll help with small things whenever we can, but there's really nothing we can do about these things..."
After Uncle Chen finished speaking, he looked up to observe Jiang Xu's expression, but was met with her meaningful gaze.
I suddenly felt embarrassed as if I had been seen through.
He touched his nose and smiled embarrassedly.
Jiang Xu didn't understand what he meant, so he just said, "Everything will be fine soon."
[Left-behind children in rural areas are still a problem today.]
[In rural areas, with sons favored over daughters and children left behind, it's a hellish start.]
[Wow, my eyes are wet again... This episode is really too hard. ]
[However, judging by Jiang Xu's intentions, she should take action.]
[It is very easy for the Jiang family to sponsor someone.]
[But I'm afraid of having my furry parents suck my blood...]
While the barrage discussion was going on, Mao Xiaoxiao returned to the woodshed with the bacon.
When he pushed open the door, he saw Kong Manning squatting in front of the stove, trying to light a fire, but the thick smoke made him cough.
She walked over and squatted down: "Let me do it."
Seeing how skilled she was, Kong Manning felt a surge of heartache in her heart.
Looking up, she saw the certificate hanging on the wall. It had faded over the years, but it was still clean and well-preserved. She hesitated for a moment and tried to ask:
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you study anymore?"
Mao Xiaoxiao paused and said weakly, "My family didn't have money, so I stopped studying after junior high school."
After graduating from junior high school, she stayed at home.
It is difficult to get enough to eat, let alone pay tuition to go to school.
Kong Manning: "Do you still want to study? I can sponsor you to go to school."
Mao Xiaoxiao paused in adding firewood, and she suddenly looked at Kong Manning, a light slowly rising in her gray eyes.
Then he stammered in disbelief, "Can I, really?"
Kong Manning rubbed her head lovingly, her eyes full of tenderness.
Seeing Xiaoxiao always reminds her of her own biological daughter.
"sure."
