148. Chapter 148 Little Hope



"You and your son don't have to be like this. It's not that serious. I only helped because I saw how much your aunt loves her son. It's just a small favor. You don't have to take it too seriously." Su Wenyue waved her hand and said. She did have this in mind when she helped, and she didn't think about asking the mother and son for anything in return. But now that she knew Feng Susu's identity, she naturally had more thoughts.

Su Wenyue did not feel that she was mean, after all, she was not harming anyone. Although she was suspected of taking advantage of Feng Susu and her son, it was a fact that she saved their lives, and it was reasonable to ask for some compensation without affecting them. It is said that doctors are kind-hearted, and doctors charge for treating patients. Even kind-hearted doctors will only waive the consultation fee if they encounter patients in real need.

Seeing Su Wenyue like this, Feng Susu and her son became more grateful and felt that Madam Han was really kind. After all, they really had nothing to gain from them. Apart from kindness, Feng Susu and her son could not think of any reason for Su Wenyue to help them. As for that incident, apart from Su Wenyue, no one knew about it at this time. Even if it was Feng Susu and her son, they would not have lived such a displaced life if they knew.

"Mrs. Han is kind-hearted, so she is willing to help. Although it is just a piece of cake for you, it is a great favor to us mother and son. We will remember it in our hearts for the rest of our lives. As long as Mrs. Han has any instructions, we will never refuse as long as we can do it." Although Feng Susu is a woman, she is also a person who speaks with force. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to raise her son by herself under such difficult conditions.

Su Wenyue didn't plan to continue this topic. Anyway, she would take what she deserved when the time came. She remembered that the mud house where Feng Susu lived before collapsed halfway due to rain, so she and her son moved to a dilapidated temple.

"Aunt, are you still living in the dilapidated temple with your children? How do you make a living? Do you have any plans?" Su Wenyue asked these questions with the intention of getting closer to them, but she also wanted to help the mother and son sincerely. Before they were found, they still had some hard times to go through, and she didn't mind giving them a hand. Feng Susu and her son were both people who deserved her help.

If someone else asked these questions, the mother and son would probably be angry and defensive, but when Su Wenyue asked this, Feng Susu and her son could feel Su Wenyue's kindness.

"After the house collapsed, we had no place to live, so we had to temporarily live in the dilapidated temple. But that's okay. We've been wandering around for so many years and we're used to this kind of life. As for our livelihood, Tai'er can earn a few dollars writing letters for others on the street, and I can also earn a few dollars a day washing clothes for wealthy families. We don't have to worry about supporting ourselves, and we don't have any other plans. The biggest wish of our mother and son in this life is to find the child's father and live a happy life as a family."

Feng Susu was a woman with a strong character. She had been looking for her husband for so many years without any news for him. Most people would have given up, but she always held on to hope, firmly believing that her husband was still alive in this world, and never stopped looking.

"I heard that the child's father went to serve in the army, right?" Su Wenyue asked, following Feng Susu's words.

Speaking of her husband who had been separated for many years, Feng Susu's eyes welled up. "That was thirteen years ago. His father enlisted in the army. In the first one or two years, he would write a letter to ask someone to bring back the military pay. Later, there was a war on the border, and his father followed the court's army to resist the foreign enemies. But he never came back and there was no news. Later, there was a flood in my hometown. The crops at home were gone, and the house collapsed. We couldn't make a living, so I took the child and left my hometown. We relied on doing odd jobs or begging along the way. It took us three years to reach the border town."

Su Wenyue heard this and admired Feng Susu: "What's next? Didn't you find the child's father after you arrived at the border town?"

Feng Susu shook her head. "Finally we got to the border town. I was so happy, thinking I could finally see the child's father. But it's not easy to find someone in such a big border town. I went to the military camp to ask, but they said there was no such person. Then I went to many places nearby to ask, but there was no news at all. Later, I heard from an old soldier who had just come down from the battlefield that the child's father had been transferred to another place. I took the child to look for him, but we went to many places and still couldn't find him. Two years ago, I heard that the child's father might have been found in Xinye, but I was still disappointed."

This is truly a sad story. Su Wenyue could feel how difficult it was just by listening to it, not to mention that Feng Susu had to go through this day by day.

"Auntie, do you still plan to look for him next? But where should we look next? It's not a good idea to keep looking blindly like this." Su Wenyue knew the whereabouts of the child's father, but she couldn't reveal it at this time, because it was impossible for her to know this in this lifetime. If she told it, she would have no way to explain how she knew it. However, she couldn't bear to let Feng Susu continue looking like this.

"I'm at my wit's end. I can't think of any other solution."

"How about you stay here first? My husband is on duty in the military camp. Tell me about the child's father and I'll ask my husband to find out for you. It's better than you running around like a headless fly." Su Wenyue thought for a while and said

"Really?! This is so wonderful. I, a common woman, don't know how grateful I am to Madam." Feng Susu didn't expect Su Wenyue to be willing to help. She stood up excitedly, tears almost coming out. How lucky she was to meet such a kind-hearted person like Madam. As she spoke, she wanted to kowtow to Su Wenyue again.

Su Wenyue quickly pulled the man up and said, "Auntie, don't be like this. I just asked my husband to look for it. It's hard to say whether he can find it or not. If he doesn't find it, I will disappoint you."

"It's okay, it's okay. I've been looking for it for so many years and I don't expect to find it immediately. Madam, you are willing to help me. I am already very grateful."

"Don't call me Madam, it's too unfamiliar. My last name is Su and my given name is Wenyue. You can just call me Yue Niang. That's what my family members call me."

Su Wenyue originally wanted to keep Feng Susu and her son, but since it was only their second meeting, it would not be normal to be too enthusiastic. She had to suppress her thoughts and let them go back first. When Han Yu came back in the evening, she told him about the search for someone.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

This is not a big deal. Since his wife asked him for help, Han Yu agreed without hesitation: "But my wife, you only have a name and an ancestral home. With this little information, I'm afraid there is little hope of finding someone who joined the army more than ten years ago."
