"The Wang family? Are they the ones who just moved into East Ninth Lane?" a woman asked. Clearly, she knew something about the situation.
"That's it." The person who originally brought up the topic nodded.
"You see, this world is really unfair. My son is a soldier and my daughter-in-law is a teacher. Life was so promising! But in the end, such a good family is broken up..." The woman shook her head.
"Isn't it? Old man Wang was such a healthy man before, but now he is so sick that he can only gasp for breath. Maybe he will follow his son..."
"Alas, that child is also pitiful. He was born prematurely and was very weak. Then his father died and his mother remarried. His grandfather is also sick. Now he only has an unreliable uncle left. It is estimated that sooner or later..."
East Ninth Alley? Father dead and mother remarried? An unreliable uncle? Could this Wang family they were talking about be the one she was looking for? Cheng Zhenzhu considered their identities and wanted to continue listening.
But she couldn't hear what the two people said next because they were stopped by the aunt from the guesthouse.
"Just say what you want to say. Why are you cursing at others?" Wang Dahua said unhappily as she looked at the two of them with a rag in her hand.
"Where is the curse? We're not making this up! Old man Wang is only breathing out, not breathing in. He's lying in bed, unable to move. The doctor shook his head after seeing him... And that baby, born only seven months ago, is as skinny as a duck. His eccentric uncle is nowhere to be seen..."
"You're talking like you saw it with your own eyes? You just saw it, and it's fine! Stop talking nonsense." Wang Dahua's face grew grim as she listened, but since they were guests, it was hard to chase them away. Finally, she waited until they left, sighing repeatedly.
After hearing this, Cheng Zhenzhu was already 80% certain that the person they were talking about was the one she was looking for. However, she hadn't expected so much to happen in such a short time. Father died, mother remarried, was it still the same as before?
Wang Dahua sighed and put up two more pieces of paper outside the guesthouse. Sun Xiaode just came back from outside and saw his mother putting up more paper. He said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, the conditions have been relaxed again..."
"There's nothing we can do. The baby can't keep not drinking milk. Let's relax the conditions first and find someone later."
"Yeah." Sun Xiaode nodded and walked into the house silently.
Yitiao and Ertiao were comparing the lengths of their fried dough sticks. When they saw Sun Xiaode, they asked with bright eyes, "Uncle Xiaode! Are you Uncle Xiaode?"
Hmm? Sun Xiaode looked at the two kids who called him, his brows knitted together, he couldn't remember who they were. But how did they know his name was Xiaode?
The three brothers saw their first and second brothers suddenly calling for help. When they looked over, they saw four masked faces leaning in one direction, like uprooted weeping willows.
Cheng Zhenzhu was also a little confused, but when she heard "Uncle Xiaode" and saw the other party's straight back, she seemed to vaguely recognize a figure.
"Hello, you guys?" Sun Xiaode walked over hesitantly.
Wang Dahua also came over at this time, looked at her son, and then looked at the eldest sister who was leading the six children, "Xiao De, eldest sister, so you know each other?"
"I guess so." Cheng Zhenzhu nodded and said, "I've seen him on the train before."
Sun Xiaode listened to Cheng Zhenzhu's words, looked at the people in front of him, and suddenly realized.
It turned out to be that sister-in-law and a few of them. Because of the unique name, he remembered it, and later heard the old man mention it again. But there were three of them back then, and now there are doubled? This sister-in-law is really fertile...
"On the train?" Wang Dahua was surprised.
Seeing his mother's curiosity, Sun Xiaode gave a brief explanation. Wang Dahua patted her thigh. "So this is the case? What a coincidence!" So this girl also knew Mr. Wang?
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?" Sun Xiaode wanted to ask if he could help. Just looking after six children by himself was tiring. If it was something that was easy to do, he would help.
"I'm just dealing with some things, and I've already finished..." Cheng Zhenzhu mumbled, then looked at Wang Dahua and said, "So, Auntie, were you talking about Mr. Wang Xiongtian just now?"
Grandpa Wang? Six Tiao Tiao watched their mother's conversation quietly. Six Tiao and Eight Tiao exchanged a cryptic glance, then simultaneously quickened the pace of their fried dough sticks...
Sun Dahua nodded and sighed again. Weimin had been kind to her son and had taken good care of her family. She liked him from the bottom of her heart and respected Brother Wang Xiongtian.
But it's a pity that good people don't live long, but evil deeds can last for thousands of years! Weimin's wife is truly a disaster. If it weren't for her, how could Weimin die? But she hurriedly married herself off just two weeks after Weimin's death, as if she was afraid of being implicated...
After hearing the story, Cheng Zhenzhu was silent for a while. "How are the old man and the baby now?"
"The old man couldn't let go of his grandson. He got much better after taking medicine. But the child's mother was not around, so he had no milk. We found two comrades who could breastfeed him, but they said the child was chewing a lot and didn't want to be fed after two attempts. Later, we asked them to help squeeze out some milk and feed him with a spoon, but the baby was not very willing to drink and cried a lot every day..." said Wang Dahua.
If she hadn't had any milk and the child hadn't recognized her, she would have definitely taken the child with her. Only the child's mother could be so cruel, leaving the child crying so heartbreakingly without even looking back, and even marrying off to another family with a smile on her face.
"So the old man is taking care of the child now?"
"Brother Dali is taking care of them over there." Sun Xiaode felt that the sister-in-law across from him seemed to care about the old man and the child, and he couldn't help but drag Sun Xiaowan out and scold her a thousand times. A random acquaintance could show so much concern. But what about Sun Xiaowan?
Thanks to Brother Weimin's love for her, she didn't shed a single tear when he died in an unclear manner. Not to mention caring about the old man and the little baby, she happily married Yan Lidong, who had always been at odds with Brother Weimin.
He even suspected that the two had hooked up for a long time...
"Is that Uncle Dali?" asked Er Tiao.
"Yeah." Sun Xiaode nodded. These kids have really good memories.
As he was speaking, a tall figure approached from outside, holding a tiny, crying baby in his arms...
