Luo Qiao put the things down: "What happened?"
Zhou Guifang glanced at the crying boy and said, "This is your second uncle's grandson, Luo Wensheng."
Luo Qiao asked doubtfully, "My second master, the one from Tang City?"
Zhou Guifang nodded: "Yes, this child just came in and started crying as soon as he came in."
Luo Daoren looked at his old wife and said, "Old woman, make something for Wensheng to eat first."
Luo Qiao had only heard her grandfather mention once before that there was a cousin in Tang City. She wanted to get some information from her grandmother, so she followed her grandmother into the kitchen: "Grandma, what's going on?"
Zhou Guifang glanced outside and said, "Your grandfather has a cousin named Luo Daoming, who is your second uncle. He was taken away by his mother when he was a child. Your second uncle was nine years old when he was taken away, so he can remember a lot of things.
It was the year your uncle got married, your second uncle came to Beijing on a business trip, and he even came to our house once, but we haven’t had much contact in the past few years. Just now, when this child came in and saw your grandfather, he knelt down, and started crying as soon as he was let into the house. "
Soon a bowl of mixed noodles was served, along with four steamed buns made with mixed noodles. Zhou Guifang was afraid that it would be too dry, so she also brought out a bowl of noodle soup.
After Luo Wensheng wolfed down his meal, he said, "Grandpa, please save my sister. My step-grandmother is going to sell her to a fool as his wife."
Luo Daoren said: "What exactly happened? Please explain it to me slowly."
It turned out that this great-uncle was only a few years older than my uncle. At that time, the family was poor. After my grandfather's second uncle died of illness, my aunt remarried with her son. Later, that family moved away and lost contact.
It was the year when my younger uncle got married. My great-uncle returned to Beijing for business. After making inquiries from many sources, he came to our house and the two cousins got in touch. When my grandfather learned that my younger cousin was married and had children, he was finally relieved.
After my uncle's grandfather remarried with my mother, my mother gave birth to a son and a daughter, but died of complications during childbirth of the daughter. Two years later, my stepfather married a widow who had a son and a daughter, and she gave birth to another son and a daughter.
As soon as his stepmother came into the house, how could he, a child with no blood relationship with his stepfather, have a good life? But he was worried about his younger brother and sister, so he had to stay and protect them as they grew up.
When he was 25 years old, his stepmother had no plans to find him a wife, but the son she had brought into the family had already married and had children. However, people said that it was not easy for his stepfather to raise him, so he had no obligation to spend money to find him a wife, so he was kicked out of the family.
The second master was considered to have some abilities. He learned a few words when his biological mother was alive. Later, he was lucky enough to get a job in a factory. After a few years, he saved some money and got married through an introduction.
He got married late, and because his wife was not in good health, he only had a son and a daughter. The son is Luo Wensheng, who is here today, and the daughter is Luo Wenxiu, who is eighteen years old this year. Two months ago, my uncle was on a business trip and was robbed. He died while trying to protect the goods in the car.
When my aunt heard the news, she couldn't hold on and also passed away. The two siblings handled the funeral with the help of people from the factory. But at this time, my aunt's stepfather's stepmother came to the door with the old and young in the family.
Not only did they want to take over the property, they also wanted my uncle's job. My little cousin resisted strongly, so they came up with an idea, which was to marry her off first, and they were so cruel that they found a fool.
A kind-hearted person informed the siblings in advance about this matter, and they then found the letters from their father and uncle. After the siblings discussed it, the cousin came by car to ask for help.
Knowing the cause and effect of the matter, Luo Daoren's eyes were red: "Why didn't you inform us when your father passed away?"
Luo Wensheng cried and said, "When my father was alive, he said that we should not trouble my uncle all the time, and that it was enough to know that my uncle's family was doing well. At that time, my sister and I were without a father and a mother, and we were like puppets. It was all the uncles and aunts in the factory who helped with the funeral arrangements."
