Chapter 1158 The Fallen Wooden Beads
Zhao Xi immediately tried to stop her, "Auntie, this hasn't been explained yet, don't rush off, there's still the child..."
He looked down at the child, who showed no reaction.
Gouwa was a little confused, unsure whether he had understood Aunt Hong's words.
Seeing Aunt Hong get up and leave, he subconsciously followed her for two steps.
Hearing the voice, Aunt Hong turned around abruptly, gritted her teeth, walked back to his side, squatted down, and said to him, "Don't follow me anymore, I can't support you anymore."
As she spoke, she pointed to Meng Yunzheng, "See this person? He's your cousin, and from now on he'll be your family. It's better for you to live with him than with me."
Gouwa did raise his head, but remained blank and didn't say anything.
Aunt Hong was furious. "Did you hear me? Give me a response! Do you still want to live a good life? Go on, grab your uncle's leg and stay here no matter what."
As he spoke, he gave Gouwa a push, and the child stumbled and was about to fall to the ground when Meng Yunzheng immediately stepped forward to help him up.
Just as he was about to speak, the child's tightly clenched right hand bumped into his arm. It must have hurt a little, because the child loosened his grip, and a bead fell from his palm to the ground.
The bead was round and smooth, and it rolled forward as soon as it landed.
Gouwa immediately broke free from Meng Yunzheng's hand and ran after him.
But the bead rolled very fast, and in his haste, he fell to the ground with a 'plop'.
He didn't cry or make a sound. He just looked up and stared ahead, but the bead had rolled away somewhere, and he couldn't find it.
Zhao Xi, who was nearby, quickly picked up the child and asked, "Are you alright? Let me check if you've hurt yourself anywhere."
Doggy seemed not to hear, still twisting his little head to look for his bead, and a rare look of anxiety appeared on his usually unresponsive face.
Shu Yu, with her sharp eyes, quickly spotted the bead and immediately went forward to pick it up.
"Don't rush, the beads are yours, here you go."
Shu Yu glanced at the beads in her hand. They were wooden beads, probably held in a child's hand for a long time, and were now shiny with wear.
but……
Shu Yu frowned as she looked at the pattern carved on the wooden bead, and it seemed somewhat familiar.
Yes, she looked familiar; she felt like she'd seen her somewhere before, but couldn't quite place it.
Seeing her in a daze, Meng Yunzheng couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
"I think I've seen this bead before." Before he could finish speaking, Gouwa pounced over and snatched the wooden bead away, clutching it tightly in his hand as if only then could he feel at ease.
Meng Yunzheng glanced at it just now, but he didn't recognize the wooden bead.
Shu Yu snapped out of her daze and turned to look at Aunt Hong. "Where did these wooden beads come from?"
Aunt Hong pursed her lips, seemingly hesitant, and after a while whispered, "This was left by Dazhuang."
"Where did Dazhuang come from?"
"Hey, why are you asking so many questions? Dazhuang is an idiot, maybe he was adopted?"
That's what she said, but the people present were all shrewd and could tell at a glance that Aunt Hong was lying.
This bead must have a history.
“Aunt Hong, if you don’t tell the truth, we won’t be able to keep this child in peace.”
Upon hearing this, Aunt Hong suddenly looked up and asked, "You've agreed to keep the child?"
"Agreed," said Meng Pei.
