Chapter 1166 Please ask your aunt to keep an eye out for me.
Shu Yu shook her head. "The time to leave the capital was decided a long time ago. To be honest, if Auntie had sent Gouwa over a day later, we would have missed it."
Aunt Hong was stunned, while the young woman beside her was overjoyed.
Fortunately, it was sent there a day earlier, otherwise Gouwa would have had nowhere to stay and would have been taken back by his mother-in-law.
Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.
Aunt Hong, on the other hand, seemed somewhat dazed. After a long while, she asked in a low voice, "So, where are you going after you leave the capital? Will you come back?"
Shu Yu didn't hide anything from her, "We'll be going to Dong'an Prefecture, as for whether we'll return to the capital..."
She paused, then looked up and smiled, "We'll definitely come back, but probably not anytime soon. I can only tell you that we'll come to the capital again in four years at the latest. By then, Gouwa will be six or seven years old, and we can bring her back to see you again."
Putting everything else aside, Meng Yunzheng plans to take the exam next year. With his knowledge, barring any unforeseen circumstances, he should not need to retake it. From the county exam, the prefectural exam, the provincial exam, and finally the metropolitan exam and the palace exam, the ultimate goal is always to reach the capital.
Aunt Hong breathed a sigh of relief, "Well, that's fine too."
Four years passed in the blink of an eye; she could wait.
She looked down at Gouwa, and the child looked up at that moment. He blinked, and then, as if he had just thought of something, reached out and tugged at her sleeve.
Aunt Hong squatted down and patted his head with a smile. "Don't be afraid. Look, your uncle even bought you new clothes. If you go with them, even if you leave the capital, you'll definitely be able to live a good life."
Gouwa lowered his head, reached into his pocket, and after a moment pulled out a piece of candy. Before Aunt Hong could react, he popped it into her mouth.
The sweet taste instantly filled her mouth, and Aunt Hong was stunned.
She looked at Gouwa, then at Shuyu, who smiled and said, "I bought him some food. Gouwa doesn't talk, but he obviously likes you, which is why he gave you the food."
Aunt Hong could no longer hold back her tears, which suddenly welled up in her eyes.
She reached out and hugged Gouwa's small body. "Gouwa, don't blame your aunt. Your aunt had no choice. You have to take good care of yourself from now on."
The young woman was a little jealous. She stared at Gouwa's little pocket for a while, making sure there were still quite a few items inside, and immediately said to Aunt Hong, "Mother, please stop crying, you'll frighten Gouwa. He's gone to live a good life, don't bring bad luck. Since Gouwa has been gone for several years, I'll go and call back his cousins so they can say goodbye properly."
After saying that, he left.
Aunt Hong knew exactly what she was thinking. She was someone who couldn't get enough of taking advantage of others; all she wanted was a few candies from Gouwa's pocket.
She wanted to call the person back, but Shu Yu smiled and said, "Auntie, there's something else I'd like to ask you to keep an eye on for me."
"Hey, you say it." Aunt Hong quickly got up and sat on the small stool, and also hugged Gouwa over.
She hugged him again before he left.
Shu Yu said, "If you have any news about Gouwa's mother, please send us a message."
"But, but I don't know how to write letters," Aunt Hong said, somewhat at a loss.
"It's alright. Just go to No. 79, Dahe Lane, South of the City and find a man named Chu Xian. He will deliver the message to us."
