To everyone's surprise, Zhou Jian'an actually kept Zhou Chufei with him.
That child was fat and stupid; I only bought him a set of clothes and a few pieces of candy, and I managed to get a lot of information out of him.
Saying they'd take him to the city was just a temporary measure, a lie to him. Who would really want to be his stepmother!
Dai Qinxue forced herself to cheer up, "Chu Fei is very cute and a good boy. I felt that I was destined to meet him the first time I saw him, and I will definitely take good care of him."
Chu Yu gave a half-smile, and her gaze made Dai Qinxue very uneasy.
The mother and her three daughters left Zhoujia Village without lingering any longer, carrying their packages.
Although they still had 700 yuan on them, the security situation was bad these days. Without a letter of introduction, they couldn't stay in a hotel, and no one would rent a room to take them in. It wasn't safe to stay anywhere. If they were targeted by criminals, it was possible that they would lose their lives.
After all, in 1983, seven hundred yuan was a huge sum of money, enough to buy a bungalow in Rongtai County.
With nowhere else to go, they had no choice but to seek refuge with Shu Hui's family.
In her past life, the day Chu Yu left home, the sunset was just as beautiful as it is today.
The clouds, like the fat on a cow's heart, clung mottledly to the sky.
Unfortunately, though the sunset was beautiful, no one appreciated it.
After walking ten miles from Zhoujia Village, we arrived at the territory of Shu Hui's mother's home, Shanguan Village.
As night fell, dragonflies hovered low overhead. There was no wind, and everyone was sweating profusely.
"Sister, hold my hand," Chu Chu whispered.
Chu Chu was born with a disability in her right eye, so she can't see very well at night and needs someone to help her walk.
Originally, the Zhou family's money was all given to Zhou Jian'an. Jiang Meifeng refused to use the money to treat her granddaughter's illness, so Shu Hui secretly saved money to take her daughter to see a doctor in the city. She was lucky and met an old doctor who had retired and returned to his hometown to work. The doctor said that Chu Chu's eyes could be cured with surgery.
The surgery would cost 800 yuan, and after returning home, she would need to eat and drink well for several months to recover. Shu Hui couldn't afford that much money. She had been looking forward to Zhou Jian'an graduating so that she could save money to take Chu Chu to see a doctor once he started earning a salary. However, after graduating, Zhou Jian'an did indeed get a stable job, but he was so heartless that he didn't even want his daughter.
Chu Yu and Chu Xiang held their younger sister's hands, and the moonlight lengthened the shadows of the three sisters, making them appear to be the same height at first glance.
