Chapter 325 What’s your name, Wu?
"Did you see that? The old lady of the Wu family followed the scent and chased after us. Tsk." A tea drinker smacked his lips, and spoke the word "old lady" with contempt.
"Since the Wu family was driven out of Kongliu Island, the clan has been torn apart. Some have gone mad, some have fled, and the remaining ones can only live in a dilapidated courtyard on the outer island, relying on selling the little family assets they had saved to survive. They have long been unable to make ends meet. That old woman has lived a life of luxury for decades, how could she endure hardship? Knowing that her good son who could suck her blood has come to Kongliu Island, she is of course very anxious."
"I really don't know where she got the nerve to try to manipulate the old man at this time."
"Hey, this is someone else's family affair. Let's just watch the fun and not care about how the old woman behaves. I'm actually looking forward to her doing something big again. Then we'll see how Su Jiuni will deal with her!"
"Hahaha! Yes, the old poisonous creature has someone who loves and protects him now!"
The old man rushed out of the teahouse, went back to the inn where he was staying, picked up his bag, and rushed towards the pier. On the way, he saw a roadside stall selling red headbands, so he turned back and bought them seriously this time. "I'll buy this headband. Pick me the best pair!"
"Hey, Mr. Du? This headband is a hair accessory for girls. Buy it for your granddaughter, right?" The peddler smiled when he saw the bird's nest hair. He was not afraid and chatted with the old man while choosing a headband for him.
During this period, all the wealthy and prominent families on and off the island had been tormented by the old man. Everyone on the island knew that the old poisonous man no longer stole medicinal herbs but robbed ancient books instead.
In addition to the old man's previous fame, even if they met again after more than 20 years, the elderly people in this area would be able to recognize him at a glance.
Moreover, although the old man had a perverse temper and was not a good person, he had never attacked ordinary people without reason. After the whitewashing a few years ago, everyone was more curious about him and less afraid of him.
Du Buwei put his hands on his hips, his triangular eyes narrowed into a smile, his old face radiating in the spring sun. "Our sweet baby likes to wear a high ponytail, and it looks great with a red headband! She also wore a red headband when she was a child, and she looked so beautiful with those two little tufts of hair on her forehead! Just like a doll in a New Year's picture! Hehehe!"
This look made the people around him laugh, and they found it both strange and funny.
Who would have thought that the old poisonous person who was hated by everyone actually had such a side in private, no different from an ordinary old man who loves his grandchildren.
Du Buqin took the headband he had chosen from the peddler and handed over a piece of change, not a penny less.
When the vendor was giving the change, he had the nerve to joke, "Drug Master, I really took this money, huh?"
The old man straightened his small body, chin raised high, and said proudly, "Of course I'll take it! If an old man wants a pair of headbands, how embarrassing it would be for my granddaughter? Let me tell you, don't be fooled by his humble attire, he's rich!"
The vendor couldn't help laughing.
All around, "Puff! Hahaha!"
The old man was not annoyed. These people were stupid. What did they know?
He had silver ingots and silver notes on him, all of which were taken from Bai Xiaofeng and Big Beard. He also had a lot of vulgar things.
I'll use it all to buy gifts for my little sweetie on the way back!
Anxious to get home, the old man received the things and was about to continue rushing to the dock, but the laughter around him suddenly died down, which was strange.
Sensing something strange, Du Bupin narrowed his triangular eyes and turned around.
Sure enough, I saw an old figure trembling and chasing towards me from the other end of the street.
He had silver hair and a face full of wrinkles. His dark blue satin brocade dress was wrinkled and loose, leaving a large gap on his body.
This shows how unhappy the old woman's life was.
Looking at that strange yet familiar face, Du Buqin felt unusually calm, neither angry nor happy.
All those past events really disappeared like smoke.
The grievances, injustices, unwillingness and unbearableness he had felt... the wounds that were engraved in his heart had long been healed by someone else.
The poison is not harmful to him, he just curls his lips, turns a blind eye and turns away.
"My little one! My little one! Don't go!" On the other side, seeing Du Buqin about to leave, the old woman screamed in a mournful voice, turbid tears falling down, "My little one! Do you still hate your mother? Your mother has her own difficulties, she always has her own difficulties!"
Du Buqin turned a deaf ear to him, but the vendor next to him bravely said, "Du Lao, the old lady is crying."
The old man's mouth curled even more sharply. "Why do you think she's crying? She's anxious."
“…” The spectators around were trying hard to hold back their laughter.
I didn't realize that Old Poison could be so sharp in his words.
"My dear! You've been hiding from me for so many days. Stop and let me talk to you properly and explain things to you, okay? You've been gone for so many years, and even after coming back, you refused to come see me... I don't ask for anything else, and I won't stop you from leaving. I just ask that you take a good look at you before you go, okay? I'm already this old, and after this separation, maybe you and I will never see each other again, woo woo woo..."
Du Buqin stopped and turned back.
When Old Lady Wu saw this, a bright light flashed in her eyes, while the people around her shook their heads secretly.
I was just praising the old man, how come after so many years, he still hasn't improved in front of this old lady? He is being bullied again, alas.
The old woman, despite her age, exerted all her strength to run to Du Buqin as fast as she could. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she raised her trembling hands to touch the face of the person in front of her, "Little one——"
Du Buqin tilted his neck back and took a big step back, looking at him like a fool. "What do you mean by 'little boy'? You're old and your eyes are blurry, and you're walking around the streets looking for your relatives?"
Old Lady Wu's eyes dimmed slightly, and she suppressed the anger that was rising in her heart, "Little one, you——"
"I am immune to poison. May I ask your youngest son's name?"
"In the final analysis, you still hate me as your mother. Even so, my dear, I gave birth to you too. You are a member of the Wu family!"
"Really? Then tell me, since I'm from the Wu family, what's my name, Wu?"
Old Lady Wu's expression froze, and she opened and closed her mouth for a long time without being able to utter a word.
The headband vendor and the onlookers looked at each other in surprise. "No way! Old Lady, if you said Poison Master was your youngest son, how come you can't even say your own son's name? It seems your family only wants to take advantage of Poison Master and won't even give him a name?"
"You still have the nerve to call yourself a mother? How thick-skinned are you?"
"Old Du, you must not make any mistakes this time. How can such a person be worth your repeated compromise? If you are soft-hearted again, your granddaughter will jump out and pull your hair!"
The people around me were talking to each other with extreme contempt.
Amid the ridicule, Old Lady Wu's face turned pale and blue. She tried her best to defend herself, but for a moment she could not find a reason to refute.
Du Buqin was not liked since he was born. He was thin, small and looked weird. In addition, the family was poor at that time, so the new member of the family was only called by his ranking or nickname. Later, he was sold to the Poison King Valley, so it was even more impossible to bother to give him a name.
Unexpectedly, after several decades, Du Buni would actually argue with her about her name!
In public, a name made all her previous plans become a joke.
When did Dubujin become so smart!
