Chapter 1287 The widowed mother who worries too much (8)
The fat woman's words gave Wu Li a little hope, so he went to find the landlord. However, he was disappointed. The landlord had no idea where Zheng Shichu had moved to. Zheng Shichu paid the rent and moved out soon after, without telling the landlord where he was going.
Wu Li came out of the urban village in a daze, walking aimlessly on the street. When he passed by a police station, perhaps because he looked so depressed, a passing policeman thought that something had happened to him. Fearing that he might be depressed, he quickly pulled him aside and tried to comfort him.
When he heard Wu Li say that he couldn't find his mother, and that his biological mother had moved away a few months ago and had no news since, he was very worried that she might have gone missing... Of course, this was what he embellished when he told the police.
When the police heard this, they knew that this missing case was their responsibility, so they asked for Wu Li's mother's name, mobile phone number and other information, and then they quickly found out that her mother was not missing and was still alive and well.
Wu Li's eyes rolled, and he immediately grabbed the policeman's arm, begging, "Comrade policeman, can you help me call my mother? I was angry with her before, and she blocked my phone number..."
The police did not suspect anything and actually called Zheng Shichu.
Zheng Shichu looked at the special number on the caller ID on her phone and immediately thought it was a scam call, but she happened to be bored, so she answered the call.
"Excuse me, is this Ms. Zheng Shichu? This is the Huanghuai Police Station. Your son, Mr. Wu Li, can't contact you and thinks you are missing. He is very worried. If it is convenient for you, you should take the initiative to contact him." The police officer advised.
When Zheng Shichu heard this, she immediately realized that this was not a scam call. She didn't expect that even though she had blocked Wu Li, he would actually come to the police station to find her. This was really impressive.
She chuckled and said, "Comrade police officer, I was the one who took the initiative to cut off contact with Wu Li because my son was living off me. Not only was he living off me, he was also justified in doing so. He said that I was selfish before we got married because I refused to give him a dowry of 500,000 yuan, and he would never provide for my old age. What's the point of having a son like that? I'd rather have a dog than him who's obedient."
When the kind-hearted policeman heard her words, he was choked. He didn't expect there was such a hidden secret here. The look in his eyes when he looked at Wu Li changed. This man is already in his twenties, but he still has the self-righteous attitude of living off his parents. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Wu Li felt very uncomfortable being stared at by the police, and asked softly, "Did my mother answer the phone?"
The police officer did not answer him, but said to Zheng Shichu: "So that's what happened? Since you are not missing, I will not interfere in your family conflict. Sorry for disturbing you."
After that, he said to Wu Li, "Mr. Wu, your mother, Ms. Zheng, is not missing. She said she just wanted to cut off contact with you, so she blocked you. This is a conflict between you and your son. It is not convenient for us to intervene. You should communicate with your mother and explain it clearly."
Wu Li asked anxiously: "I can't contact her at all, how can I communicate with her? Oh, can you tell me her current address? I will go find her in person!"
The police officer shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Zheng is a natural person with full civil capacity. She specifically told me that she doesn't want to contact you, so even if you are her biological son, I can't disclose her information."
"It doesn't matter if you tell me, right? Just be kind enough to tell me quietly, please..." Wu Li pleaded.
But no matter how he begged, the police officer refused to disclose Zheng Shichu's information to him, and finally kindly reminded him: "Mr. Wu, I think since you have graduated from college and are working, you should be self-reliant. It is irresponsible to rely on your parents. If you can survive independently with your own abilities, your mother may forgive you in the future."
How could Wu Li listen to his advice? If he were not a policeman, Wu Li would definitely scold him for "talking without any pain in the waist", but in the police station, he did not dare to act recklessly, so he had to leave dejectedly again.
Since he couldn't find Zheng Shichu to cover for him, Wu Li naturally had no money to pay back Li Sheng the next day. Li Sheng would no longer allow him to delay this time, so he snatched his phone, downloaded various loan apps, and regardless of whether they were legal or not, he used Wu Li's identity information to borrow money and pay him back.
Wu Li looked at the dazzling array of loan apps on the mobile phone page and felt hopeless. He knew that if he got involved with these loan apps, he would be in trouble if not dead. But he had no other choice but to try to quench his thirst with poison.
Zheng Shichu had no idea that her adopted son had fallen into the trap of online loans so quickly, but even if she knew, she wouldn't feel anything because there was no way she would pay back the loan for him.
Not only is she a catwalk model now, she also sometimes takes photos for various fashion brands or clothing stores. Because she is a little famous, she earns quite a lot, which is enough for her to live a rich and leisurely life.
Li Yu was very envious of her for this and said that she had fulfilled her dream when she was young. How many young girls dream of being fashion models, wearing beautiful clothes, proudly showing them to everyone, enjoying everyone's envious and loving looks, and making money while doing it beautifully.
"It's a pity that I'm not as good-looking and elegant as you." Li Yu sighed, pinched the fat on her waist, and looked at Zheng Shichu's slender and straight waist with envy, "How do you maintain such a good figure? You obviously have given birth to a child."
Zheng Shichu shrugged and said, "It's natural, thanks to my genes. You can't envy it." Perhaps this was too Versailles, so she quickly added, "Also, it may be because I worked a lot when I was a nanny. I was busy all the time, so my body was trained."
When Li Yu heard her words, he didn't know whether to envy her or sympathize with her. Finally, he said dryly: "It must be both reasons. Genes gave you a tall and slender figure, and then more than ten years of hard work trained your body shape and maintained a good figure..."
Zheng Shichu nodded with a smile: "You are right."
"Now when I stand next to you, we look like two generations apart." Li Yu was still envious, but she knew that being a model depended more on talent. She herself had an ordinary look and a physique that was prone to obesity, so it was impossible for her to be a model in this lifetime, so there was nothing she could do but envy him.
"Li Yu, you just dress yourself up to look old. If you change your style, you might look ten years younger." Zheng Shichu said to her seriously, "You always wear loose clothes with unobtrusive colors, which covers up the advantages of your figure and exposes your disadvantages. Of course, you will look old."
