Chapter 285 Death News
Everyone wants to come over and chat with Xia Xian and Quan Ruifeng, reminisce about the past, just in case they can get their favor and help.
There is a saying that goes, "A poor man has no friends in a busy city, but a rich man has distant relatives in a remote mountain area." Once you have money, everyone in the world will kiss you.
Xia Xian originally brought Quan Ruifeng and Zhaozhao back to visit her parents. It was a rare sight to see her parents happy, and it would also make her parents proud if the neighbors came to see her. So Xia Xian patiently chatted with everyone and didn't say anything. As for what everyone wanted, she naturally couldn't give it to them, so she just laughed it off.
However, she was annoyed by staying at home all the time and having everyone come to visit her, so the next afternoon she simply took Quan Ruifeng and Zhao Zhao out for a walk.
"Mom, I'll take Zhao Zhao to walk around the neighborhood and see where I grew up."
"Okay, take care of yourself and come back for dinner."
Lei Juan agreed with a smile, and told them to go out and hang out without worrying about the noise at home.
"good."
Xia Xian took Quan Ruifeng and Zhao Zhao out.
"Come, Zhaozhao, mom will take you to see the school where mom used to go to school."
Xia Xian was smiling. She was always in a good mood when she returned to her hometown, and she always had a smile on her face.
"OK!"
Zhao Zhao also wanted to see what the school her mother attended looked like. She thought it was a great school, but when she arrived she found that the school was very small and shabby. It was only slightly bigger than her kindergarten, and most importantly, it was really shabby. The school was old and ugly. Zhao Zhao disliked it after taking one look at it.
Zhao Zhao's little face wrinkled and he asked in surprise.
"Mom, is this your school? Why is it so small and shabby? Dad's school is so big."
Quan Ruifeng and Xia Xian also took Zhaozhao to the elementary and junior high schools that Quan Ruifeng attended, so he asked this question.
"Yes, this is the elementary school my mom attended. Although it's small, it can accommodate a lot of students. We all went through this. In the past, conditions were not good, and being able to go to school was already very good."
"Your father lives in a big city and his family is well-off, so the elementary school he attends is big and new. Money is not everything, but without money it is indeed difficult to move forward. So mom and dad must work hard to earn money. Not only do we have to strive to realize our dreams, but we also have to earn more money to provide our family with a good living condition. Do you understand, Zhao Zhao?"
"Mom and Dad want you to live a good life, without worries, and do whatever you want without forcing yourself in the future."
Xia Xian faced her past poverty very calmly, and also told Zhao Zhao that money is a good thing and one should earn it when the time comes.
But this is their adults' business. Xia Xian only hopes that Zhaozhao can do whatever he wants in the future without having to struggle for a living.
"I understand, Mom! If you don't have money, you can't buy toys, candies, cookies, or jerky. You can't buy anything!"
Zhao Zhao nodded heavily. She was old enough to go to kindergarten, so she naturally knew what money could be used for. She was not stupid, so she felt sorry for Xia Xian. She had gone to such a shabby school before, and she certainly couldn't buy toys or food. She felt that her mother had suffered a lot!
"Mom, I'm going to buy you lots of toys and food!"
"I'll buy you whatever you want!"
Zhao Zhao looked up at Xia Xian and suddenly blurted out these words. To be honest, he was indeed filial and very filial, but Xia Xian didn't know how the topic turned to this. She was a little amused and helpless.
"Okay, mom knows Zhaozhao's intentions, but mom now has basically everything she wants. Mom just hopes that you can grow up safely, healthily and happily!"
"Then Mom's wish will definitely come true!"
Zhao Zhao assured, smiling adorably at Xia Xian.
Quan Ruifeng also smiled.
"Zhao Zhao, why don't you ask your father what he wants? You only know how to be filial to your mother. Don't you remember your father?"
He asked this deliberately. It turned out that every adult likes to tease children, and even the most serious adults can't escape it.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhao looked at Quan Ruifeng with disdain.
"Dad, you are already a grown-up, so please stop competing for favor, okay? I am filial to mom, and I will definitely be filial to you too. I am a good child."
Zhao Zhao praises himself and seems to be very confident in himself.
"Hahaha!"
Zhao Zhao's disgusted expression made Xia Xian laugh so hard that she fell forward and backward with laughter and her stomach hurt.
"I can testify that Zhao Zhao is definitely a good baby!"
"Dad can testify that our Zhao Zhao will never turn bad!"
The family of three chatted and laughed as they walked around the area, and then they somehow ended up at Chu Sheng's area.
"Why are you here? What bad luck!"
"If I had known I would end up here, I would have brought the things over and visited Director Mei on the way."
Xia Xian had a look of disgust on her face.
"Mom, where is this place? Why do you say it's unlucky? What does unlucky mean?"
Zhao Zhao asked eagerly.
"Well····"
"There are some bad guys living here, so mom doesn't like it very much. It's okay, we can just go back around."
Xia Xian wanted to teach the little girl bad things, so she didn't explain to her what bad luck meant. She just skipped the topic. Quan Ruifeng also cooperated and picked her up and gave her instructions.
"There's a woman who's very kind to mom living in the back. She's the head of the women's department. Let's bring the gifts over tomorrow and go visit her. Zhao Zhao must be polite to her."
"OK."
Zhao Zhao nodded obediently.
Because they didn't bring any gifts, Xia Xian and Quan Ruifeng didn't plan to go to see Director Mei even though they were here. The three of them planned to go back home. It was almost time, so they could have dinner when they got home.
The three of them had just taken a few steps when they were met by nearby neighbors. They recognized Xia Xian. Although a few years had passed, Xia Xian had not changed much and had become more and more beautiful. There were not many people who were so dazzled.
The neighbor stopped her in surprise.
"You are Xia Xian, right? Oh, this is your man and child. The child has grown up so big, and you are living such a happy life now!"
"Chu Sheng and his mother are miserable. His mother died last year. She starved to death. It was a sin. Neither of them had a formal job, so they could never build a house. His mother could only do laundry to earn some money for food, but Chu Sheng refused to work. He couldn't do any work. He had high expectations but low skills.
His mother was raising two children by herself, and the little money she earned was not enough. She was not young anymore, and she fell on her way to wash clothes for others and broke her leg. She had no money to treat her leg, so she just lay at home. She had no work for the whole winter, and she couldn’t make it, so she starved to death.”
"We don't know whether Chu Sheng is dead or alive. He is no longer at home. We don't know where he has gone. I heard him talking about looking for Bai Lian and doing business to make a fortune. We don't know where Bai Lian has gone. Chu Sheng doesn't have a penny. It's a problem to even eat, let alone do business or look for people. He just does whatever he wants!"
"I think he starved to death outside. Tsk tsk tsk, this mother and son deserved it for how they treated you in the past."
The neighbor hadn't seen Xia Xian for several years. As soon as he saw her, he couldn't help but tell her all the gossip about Chu Sheng and his mother.
The tone was a bit gloating.
