Su Xing noticed that his younger sister had a serious expression on her face since she came out.
Su Xing looked at her face with worry in his eyes: "Guo'er, are you feeling unwell?"
Wen Guoer then realized that she had been lost in thought and shook her head: "I'm fine, I just felt a little uncomfortable seeing that patient just now."
The two of them no longer had the heart to shop around any longer and went straight home.
Unexpectedly, when they returned home, there was a big drama waiting for them.
"Old man, I beg you, please help me, otherwise I can't survive."
Wen Guoer and Su Xing had just entered the house when they heard a woman crying for help. They looked at each other, thought of the old man at home, and hurried inside.
When I entered the living room, I saw a woman in her forties kneeling at the old man's feet, grabbing his trouser legs and crying.
Aunt Liu heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the two of them coming back, but her expression was flustered.
"You're finally back! I don't know how this woman got in, but she knelt down in front of the old man as soon as she entered the room. Coincidentally, this little Hu was sent out by the old man to do something!" Aunt Liu turned her head to look at the woman, spread her hands helplessly,
"The old man and I have been trying to persuade her for a long time, but she just refuses to get up!"
The old man frowned and was worried when he heard his granddaughter ask:
"Grandpa, what's going on?" Wen Guoer asked in confusion.
The old man didn't understand either. The woman knelt down as soon as she entered the door, and he didn't have time to ask.
Wen Guoer saw that the old man also looked confused, and looked at the woman:
"If you have anything to say, stand up and speak." She helped the old man sit down, glanced at her third brother and Aunt Liu, and didn't say anything politely. "Otherwise, we won't give you a chance to speak and will just ask you to leave."
The woman thought Wen Guoer's words didn't sound false. She had finally managed to get in today by asking the villagers who were dumping garbage here for help. She couldn't just be kicked out without saying anything.
She stood up, wiped her nose and tears, sniffled and said, "I'm here to ask the old leader to make the decision for me."
Seeing that she could speak properly, Wen Guoer moved a stool for her to sit down and talk slowly.
The woman sat down, calmed down, and spoke slowly:
"My name is Li Yaomei, and I'm from a village outside the city. I came here today to ask the old leader to give me justice and return my husband to me."
The woman started sobbing again as she spoke, and everyone became even more confused.
"Tell me clearly, who is your man and what does this have to do with my grandfather?" Su Xing urged.
The woman took a deep breath and calmed herself down: "My man is Wang Duo, and now he is the husband of the old leader's daughter."
Everyone: “…”
The thunder was really powerful. Wen Guoer didn't react for a moment. She turned to look at the old man. Seeing that his emotions were relatively stable, she felt a little relieved.
"You also said that Wang Duo is my aunt's husband, so how can he be your man?" she asked.
"Twenty-one years ago, when Wang Duo graduated from university, he was assigned to the Propaganda Department of our commune. He came to our village to work and got to know me. He bought me new clothes and sent me delicious food from the city. He also said he liked me and would marry me, so I got together with him."
Li Yaomei lowered her head a little shyly, then raised it again.
"I asked him when he would marry me, but he said his mother, my mother-in-law, didn't agree and asked me to wait.
Later, I had a child, and he told me to give birth to the child well. When my mother-in-law saw the eldest grandson, she would agree to let him marry me.
I listened to him and gave birth to the child, a boy. He was very happy and said he would take the child to show his mother-in-law, and then he took the child away.
Once he left, he never came back."
She wiped away the tears that kept flowing with her hands.
“I have been waiting for him, but he never showed up.
Later I went to the commune to look for him, and they said he had been transferred. I asked them where he had been transferred to, but no one told me.
I kept waiting for him and looking for him, until a few days ago, when someone from the village said they saw him in the city, and that's when I finally found him." Li Yaomei looked at everyone excitedly.
Wen Guoer listened to her story and couldn't help but feel sad for this woman. It was easy to say a few words, but living her life was not easy.
Pregnant out of wedlock and abandoned, what kind of public outcry would a woman living in the village face? What kind of psychological pressure would she endure? She couldn't even imagine it.
Twenty years, the best twenty years of life, is it worth it to waste them on a man like this?
The room was very quiet for a while, and everyone's expression was serious.
"Since you can find this place, you should also know the whereabouts of Wang Duo, right? Why don't you go find him directly?" Su Xing broke the silence.
Wen Guoer silently praised her third brother's intelligence, saying that he had clear ideas and could grasp the key points.
"I went to find him, but he didn't acknowledge me. He even said if I bothered him again, he would have the old leader arrest me, saying that everyone in your family is a high-ranking official."
Li Yaomei looked at the old man's face with fear, and saw that his face was still calm.
"I had no other choice. It just so happened that someone from our village was dumping garbage in this compound. He knew the old leader was a good person, so he asked me to come and ask the old leader for help. That's why I dared to come here."
"Nonsense! This beast is bullying others by taking advantage of his power! Call Guoyu and ask him to bring that beast over here!" The old man got angry again and yelled at Su Xing.
Half an hour later, Su Guoyu and Wang Duo came back together.
As soon as they entered the room, they saw Li Yaomei sitting there.
Su Guoyu looked puzzled, obviously not knowing the other person, while Wang Duo looked panicked!
He recognized the other person at a glance, came to his senses, turned around and wanted to leave, but fortunately the guard Xiao Hu had just returned. At the old man's command, Wang Duo was controlled by the guard and forced to sit on a stool.
Su Guoyu was confused and looked at everyone, trying to find the answer from them, but the look in everyone's eyes when they looked at her was filled with sympathy, anger, resentment, and worry... which made her even more confused.
