Chapter 533 What Child Would Forget His Parents?
Xu Lingwei was startled, stepped back and covered her mouth with her hands.
Old man Li understood that the little girl was kind and soft-hearted. He smiled and said, "You won't infect me, because I've had this disease before, so I'm not afraid of being infected."
Xu Lingwei felt strange when she heard this, but she didn't think much about it.
After all, the old man also said that he was willing to help her ask someone to find her parents back.
"Old man, can I only live in this small house?" Xu Lingwei's eyes were full of longing for the house above.
"When you get better, you can go upstairs." Old man Li could see that this pretty girl was spoiled and definitely couldn't stand the environment in the cellar, but he couldn't let her go up there and get discovered, so he continued to smile and find excuses to calm her down.
"I... okay." This was in someone else's house, and Xu Lingwei could only go along with what others said. She sniffed, closed her eyes, and thought about getting more rest to keep her body healthy so that she could go out.
The child fell asleep as soon as he said he would. He closed his eyes for less than two seconds before he began to breathe deeply and whispered something in his little mouth:
"Mom and Dad... I... I'll be well again soon... I'm going home... Don't worry..."
Old man Li heard her words clearly and couldn't help but feel envious. What a good child! He wished she was his granddaughter.
"How is the little girl? Is she crying?" Aunt Li was still standing at the entrance. Seeing that the bowl in the old man's hand was empty, she knew that the little girl had woken up and eaten. She was surprised that she didn't hear any crying.
Twenty years ago, Li Daquan, the richest man in the village, bought a wife, who cried every day.
Old man Li made a "hush" gesture to his wife. The two of them locked the entrance to the cellar and returned to the main house. Only then did Old man Li speak.
"The little girl was quite naive and thought I had saved her, so she kept thanking me."
Aunt Li: "Then she's not smart either."
"How can a five or six-year-old kid be that smart? Sit down and listen carefully. We need to get our words together."
Old man Li and Aunt Li were sitting in a row on the edge of the bed. At this time, their grandson Gou'er looked over and thought that his grandparents were going to play games. He grinned foolishly and ran over to squeeze between his grandparents. Old man Li picked up his grandson and put him on the edge of the bed.
"Old woman, you should be careful with your words from now on. This little girl didn't know she was trafficked to our house. I lied to her and said she had an infectious disease and couldn't leave the cellar until she was cured.
I also told her that I would ask someone to help her find her parents. If she forgets about them after a while, we won’t have any more trouble.”
"That's easy for you to say. What child would forget their parents?" Aunt Li felt that Old Man Li's method was ineffective. She stroked her grandson's hair with her big hand and said, "Goudan is already eight years old this year, and he still asks me where his parents are."
"Then what do you say we should do? We have to coax this little girl to stay in our house and grow up, right? Let me tell you, she is really beautiful and well-behaved. When we have a baby in the future, we will definitely raise the baby to be like her." Old man Li seemed to have decided on this little grandson's wife.
Aunt Li thought about it, and her eyes suddenly lit up. "I remember when Li Daquan got married, his wife was dissatisfied, so his family gave her something to eat. Even if no one was watching at home, his wife couldn't escape. Go ask Daquan for this thing."
Old man Li frowned. "That thing doesn't taste good. It makes me weak all over, like I'm sick. Besides, Daquan's wife was already 20 years old at the time, and this little girl was only five or six. It's easy for her to get sick from eating it."
"Oh, if something happens to her, our tens of thousands of dollars will be wasted." Aunt Li slapped her thigh.
The sound startled Goudan, who glared at Aunt Li in dissatisfaction, "Grandma, why are you slapping your thighs so loudly?"
Aunt Li touched her grandson's head and said, "I'm worried about your daughter-in-law."
