Chapter 538 Her efforts were not in vain
With so many people needing her help, the woman gradually calmed down and answered their questions. At this time, the boss came over with his mobile phone and confirmed with the woman whether the child in the surveillance video was her son. The woman nodded, and the people in the store immediately went out in several groups to look for him.
Fortunately, the child didn't run far. Yan Nuo and Xu Ziyue found him in a small park in front and brought him back to the hotel.
When the child's mother came back and saw the child, she was so angry that she spanked the child's buttocks, then hugged the child tightly and cried for a while. The child knew that his mother was crying, so he hung his head and apologized. Then, the child's mother took the child to thank everyone and left.
Xu Ziyue looked at the mother and son leaving, a hint of envy in her eyes.
Yan Nuo rolled her eyes, took out a photo of Xiao Lingwei from her bag, and asked the diners in the restaurant. The diners all said they had never seen this child, which made them very disappointed.
The boss didn't expect that these two young women had also lost their children. He quickly took a photo and hung it in the store, promising to ask every customer who came in to eat if they had seen the child.
"Thank you." Yan Nuo and Xu Ziyue finished their meal and left double the money.
"I knew before that the world is big, but I had the confidence to measure it with my feet. Now I find that my feet are powerless." Xu Ziyue said sadly, her eyes filled with tears.
Every inch of land she measured with her feet had no trace of Lingwei. What was the point?
…
Two months later, Lijia Village.
"Nannan, wash your brother Goudan's clothes, hang them up, and then go into the kitchen to watch the fire. Don't let the fire be too big and ruin the steamed buns."
Aunt Li ordered Xu Lingwei around skillfully.
Xu Lingwei obeyed Aunt Li's instructions very obediently and did whatever she was told to do. Aunt Li felt very happy to have an extra servant in the house.
They no longer trapped Xu Lingwei in the cellar, because Xu Lingwei's "unconditional trust" in them and "playing dumb" successfully made them feel that they had the child under control.
"Grandma Li, I've hung up your clothes too. You should go and have a rest soon." Xu Lingwei said sweetly.
Aunt Li nodded, her grin never falling.
Xu Lingwei walked into the kitchen, sat on a small stool, and carefully put the firewood into the stove.
I've never done anything like this before, but I forced myself to learn it.
And her efforts were not in vain, she was able to get out of the cellar.
But I haven’t seen my parents for so long, and I always feel aggrieved. Late at night, I would quietly hide in the quilt, cover my mouth tightly with my hands and cry for a while.
Steaming buns were in the pot, the Li family's lunch. The round buns, spread out on a bamboo basket, were slowly swelling. In a small pot beside them, bone soup was simmering. Aunt Li had bought pork bones from the market in town specifically for Goudan.
Xu Lingwei mastered the temperature for steaming the buns, and quietly raised her little head from the window to glance at the main room. No one was at the door, so no one could see what she was doing in the kitchen.
Xu Lingwei turned around and ran to the earthen stove, tiptoed to lift the lid of the pot, took out a packet of white medicine from her arms, and poured it all into the soup.
This was her playing hide-and-seek with Goudan. Goudan told her that Aunt Li had hidden the medicine in a small box, and she stole it.
After putting everything in, Xu Lingwei threw the paper wrapping the medicine into the fire and burned it.
After a while, the steamed buns were ready. Xu Lingwei stood on a stool and carefully put the buns from the pot into a porcelain bowl with a piece of cloth. Her little hands were red from the heat.
After packing the steamed buns, she carried the hot bowl into the main room, placed the food on the table, and went back to the kitchen to get three bowls of soup.
"Grandpa Li, Grandma Li, Goudan, it's time to eat."
The sweet and soft voice is like the sweet mountain spring water in summer, flowing into the heart and bringing a cool feeling.
Old Man Li, Aunt Li and Goudan lazily got up from the bed, walked to the table and sat down.
Old man Li touched Xu Lingwei's little head and asked, "Why did you only serve three bowls? Why didn't you give one bowl to yourself?"
Xu Lingwei: "Grandpa, our family is in financial difficulty. You are adults and need to eat more to have strength. I don't need to go out. I can stay at home and play. I don't need to drink bone soup. Besides, I don't like it. I like to eat vegetables."
Aunt Li laughed and said, "You are just too picky."
"You can't live without meat." Old man Li is still expecting the little girl to grow up and give birth to ten or eight children. How can she only eat vegetables and not meat?
"It's okay, Grandpa, I don't want to drink it! I'll drink it next time!" Xu Lingwei panicked when she saw Old Man Li trying to serve her some soup. "Grandpa Li, you're so kind to me. I'll feel guilty!"
"If she doesn't want to drink it, then don't drink it. She probably doesn't like it. I'll go to town and buy some other meat to make soup for her some other day." Aunt Li stopped the old man. In fact, she didn't want to give such an expensive bone soup to the little girl.
Old Man Li thought about it, then sat down and reminded Aunt Li: "Don't let her starve in our house."
Xu Lingwei: "I won't be hungry, grandpa and grandma, don't worry."
Her cuteness makes people smile.
After dinner, Xu Lingwei was very sensible and cleaned up the dishes and took them to the yard to wash.
Old man Li and Aunt Li went back to their room to take a nap.
Goudan took the marbles and asked Xu Lingwei to play with him, but as soon as he reached the door of the main room, he was so sleepy that he yawned, sat on the threshold, leaned against the door frame and started snoring.
After washing the dishes, Xu Lingwei returned to the main room and bent down to nudge Goudan, who was sleeping by the door.
"Wake up, wake up."
No response!
Xu Lingwei's little mouth curved up in surprise. This medicine is really powerful!
Then, she ran into the inner room worriedly, "Grandpa and Grandma, it's bad, Brother Goudan fell asleep at the door~"
Old man Li and Aunt Li on the bed couldn't hear her voice at all, and their snoring was deafening.
"Yeah~" Xu Lingwei jumped up excitedly, then took a few dollars from the drawer, turned around and ran out of the house, rushing out of the wolf's den where she had been trapped for more than two months without hesitation.
Charge!
