Fu Hongxing bid farewell to Master Qiu, thinking that since Monkey had taken several days off, he certainly wouldn't stay at the mine's accommodation.
So he went straight to town.
Before we even reached the place where the monkey used to live, we saw the monkey walking towards us from a distance with a dejected look on its face.
Fu Hongxing frowned and shouted, "Monkey?"
The monkey, who had been looking absent-minded, instinctively looked up when he heard someone call his name. The moment he saw Fu Hongxing, a look of panic appeared on his face.
Fu Hongxing strode forward, walked to his side, and asked with a somewhat grave expression, "Where is the child?"
The monkey was surprised that Fu Hongxing would ask him so directly.
His face showed even more panic, and he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Fu Hongxing felt somewhat helpless. In fact, if the monkey really wanted to raise that child...
Let's clarify the situation regarding the child first. Since Fang Meng and his wife are not around, there shouldn't be any problems if Monkey adopts the child.
But now that things have become so complicated, the police are probably starting to suspect that Monkey might be Fang Meng's accomplice!
Seeing that Fu Hongxing was staring at him, the monkey didn't say anything more.
Sweat streamed down his forehead. After muttering for a while, he finally whispered as softly as a mosquito's buzz, "Brother Weidong took him away!"
Hearing the monkey's words, Fu Hongxing's already furrowed brows furrowed even more deeply.
"Liu Weidong?"
The monkey nodded quickly.
Then, looking dejected, he said, "Brother Hongxing, Brother Fang Meng begged me to take the child away. But I'm a one-man household with no family to worry about, how could I possibly raise a child?"
I had been leaving my child with someone else, but when I came over recently, I found that the child was skin and bones from hunger.
Nowadays, it's impossible to buy grain in the county.
I originally planned to take a few days off and find a suitable family to help take care of the baby for a while.
Unexpectedly, Brother Wei Dong came looking for us.
He said that this child was Fang Meng's only bloodline, and he would raise the child to adulthood.
At this point, the monkey's eyes reddened, and tears welled up in its eyes.
When he saw the child looking like that, Liu Weidong didn't blame him, but Monkey himself couldn't get over it.
But even if he were to blame that family, he couldn't.
After all, it wasn't just that child who was so thin; all the other children in that family were skin and bones, with long, thin limbs and slender necks supporting their heads.
Because his limbs and body were so thin, his head appeared exceptionally large.
When the monkey entered the house and saw the family's children, it was really worried that the children might accidentally break their heads because their necks couldn't support the huge head.
Fu Hongxing thought a lot after hearing what the monkey said.
Nowadays, you need a letter of introduction no matter where you go.
Without a letter of introduction, one will be sent back to their place of origin.
If you get caught and don't confess honestly, those labor camps await you.
Where could Liu Weidong, a grown man, go with a child?
Thinking about the work he and Fang Meng did, some of the foreign goods were secretly obtained!
Fu Hongxing's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Liu Weidong was planning to smuggle the child out of the country?
Thinking of this, Fu Hongxing glanced at the monkey and saw that he was crying. It seemed that Liu Weidong had not told him.
With things having come to this, Fu Hongxing sighed softly.
"Alright, since you've taken it, don't think about it anymore!"
By the way, your master has been very angry these past few days. If you don't go back soon, he might abandon you, and I won't care.
