"Sugar? What sugar?"
Fu Ming was a little puzzled, but Fu Wan immediately realized what was going on. She boldly reached into the old woman's pocket and, sure enough, took out a piece of candy.
It's still a White Rabbit milk candy.
It looks like this old lady is suffering from low blood sugar.
Fu Wan quickly unwrapped the candy and helped the old lady up.
The old lady was pale and chewed the candy for a long time before she regained some energy.
The salesperson at the nearby supply and marketing cooperative was also a kind person. Seeing this, he quickly brought out a chair from the store so that the old lady could sit and rest.
However, when Fu Wan looked at the old woman's face, she felt as if she had seen her somewhere before.
Fu Ming's words made her realize the situation instantly.
"Ah Wan, don't you think this old lady looks a bit like our father?"
It's no exaggeration to say that if the old lady hadn't had white hair, Fu Ming would have thought he had seen his own father the moment she sat up.
However, he didn't speak loudly, but instead lowered his voice and asked Fu Wan quietly.
Of the two siblings, Fu Ming actually resembles Ye Xiaocui more, while Fu Wan looks more like the eldest brother, Fu Laoda.
Especially the mouth and nose, they are exactly the same as Boss Fu's.
Coincidentally, the old lady was the same.
Are there really people in this world who are so similar?
It really is a coincidence, or perhaps fate.
Fu Wan shook her head to herself. Her father had never mentioned that she had any sisters. Apart from her half-brother Fu Lao Er, she had always been alone.
"Grandma, please sit here and wait for your family. If you need anything, you can contact the police. We'll be leaving now."
Seeing that the old lady had recovered, Fu Wan thought she and Fu Ming should hurry to the car factory to drive home.
It was already close to four o'clock, and they didn't dare to drive too fast since they had just gotten the car. They estimated that they would get home around five or six o'clock at the earliest.
The old lady didn't speak, but suddenly opened her eyes, which had been closed, and looked straight at Fu Ming in front of her.
After scrutinizing Fu Ming, she stared at Fu Wan suspiciously for a long time, making Fu Wan feel a chill run down her spine.
Good heavens, I hope she doesn't actually run into a scammer.
Before her rebirth, she had seen many elderly people lying on the ground extorting money from passersby, but she never expected that she would be the one to be scammed today.
She had initially thought that people were generally kind and honest at this time, and that such a thing wouldn't happen.
She was careless.
"Little girl, where are you from?"
After a long while, the old woman finally spoke, her voice still somewhat hoarse.
"Me? I'm from the countryside."
Fu Wan was puzzled and pointed to herself.
She wasn't stupid enough to reveal her family or location.
“I’m from the countryside, and my family is very poor. My mom told me to go to the city to find a job, but I couldn’t find one. I’m planning to go back home with my brother and work as a porter.”
Fu Ming couldn't help but laugh as they went back and forth, almost causing him internal injuries from holding it in for so long.
There was nothing he could do; he had guessed that Fu Wan's purpose was probably to prevent the old lady from demanding compensation from them.
"Yes, it's so hard to find a job in the city. We haven't eaten yet today. You're so lucky, old lady, you still have White Rabbit milk candy to eat. Do you still want that candy wrapper? Or I can take it back and lick it, no, I can take it back and smell it too."
Anyone can act, and after Fu Ming's cringeworthy performance, he even winked at Fu Wan.
The siblings' performance completely baffled the sales clerks at the supply and marketing cooperative.
She clearly saw those two people go to the Friendship Store and buy a lot of things!
The old lady's gaze remained fixed on Fu Wan's face. After a long while, she opened her mouth again and uttered a sentence.
"Rural area? Which village? Does your village... have someone named Gouwa?"
The smiles on Fu Ming and Fu Wan's faces froze. They hadn't mentioned a single thing about their father.
Moreover, "Dog Boy" is Fu Laoda's nickname. How did this old lady know that?
"Hey, there are a lot of people in our village named Gouwa and Goudan. Which one are you looking for, ma'am? Why don't you call the police? Maybe the officers can help you."
The old lady shook her head. "I've contacted the police. When I left home, Gouwa was only a few years old. I don't even know his full name now."
“Little girl, I’m not trying to scam you. I just think you look like my younger brother. When he was little, his mouth and nose were exactly the same as yours.”
"What's your brother's last name?"
Fu Wan couldn't help but ask, because the old lady's expression was so serious that it didn't seem like she was faking it at all.
Just then, two police officers in uniforms came patrolling from not far from the supply and marketing cooperative.
"My younger brother's surname is Fu. But I can't remember whether it's the Fu of Fu and Shou or something else."
These words immediately caused a huge uproar in Fu Wan and Fu Ming's hearts. His surname was Fu, and his given name was Gouwa.
This description is most likely of my own father.
Could the old lady really be a relative of ours?
The two men stared at each other, their minds filled with questions. Meanwhile, police officers nearby, noticing something amiss, rushed over to investigate.
"Comrade, hello, please show me your identification or letter of introduction."
After returning from the capital, Fu Wan and Fu Ming went to the town to get new ID cards, so she just took them out of her bag.
The old woman searched for a long time, but found nothing in her pocket except candy.
"Grandpa, where are you from? Where are you going? Do you need our help?"
The old lady squinted at the two policemen, then her face showed a blank expression.
"I don't know where she came from. I'm going to find my brother; she's from his family."
After saying that, he pointed at Fu Wan.
The police officer then turned to Fu Wan, his words full of reproach, "Comrade, the old lady is so old, why did you bring her out? Look at the bruise on her face, you young people should be more careful."
Just then, the sales clerk went back to the store to get busy, and Fu Wan was at a loss for words. "No, I just met this old lady."
"You're from Gouwa's family, come on, let's go home!"
As she spoke, the old woman stood up and, trembling, pulled Fu Wan forward.
Seeing that the old lady was in a hurry to go home, the two police officers decided not to stop them any further.
He simply added, "It's almost evening, hurry and take the elderly home. It's quite cold in the city at night."
After saying that, he continued his patrol.
Now it was Fu Wan and Fu Ming's turn to be on the verge of tears. They had done a good deed, but somehow ended up picking up an old lady instead.
"Grandma, how can you talk nonsense to the police officers? What do you mean by 'your family' and 'my family'? We don't even know each other."
Fu Ming couldn't help but rub his temples. This old lady was really something, actually trying to fool the police!
Upon hearing this, the old lady stared intently at Fu Ming.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tell Gouwa to beat you to death!"
