Chapter 31 Inquiry
After Tang Wan finished talking with Luo Ying this time, she kept this matter in mind.
Luo Ying is a pretty girl. Since she has such an idea, no matter what the result is, she can help to find out first.
However, Tang Wan did not tell Luo Ying that she would help her find out about Dongzi, so as to avoid letting her wait in vain.
The person Tang Wan would most easily ask is naturally Grandma Bai.
When she finished washing the clothes and returned home, Tang Wan took the small bag of food to Grandma Bai.
After bringing the food to the kitchen, Tang Wan started talking to Grandma Bai who was working in the yard.
"Isn't Dongzi from our village? I haven't seen him working recently." Tang Wan said as she sat down next to Grandma Bai.
Grandma Bai is taking apart her winter quilt. The weather has been nice these days, so she took out the quilt that had been put away for the winter, washed it, and sewed a new one.
"He's from the next brigade, so of course he's not here these days." Grandma Bai worked very efficiently, and Tang Wan could only help with some insignificant tasks.
"You're not from our village, are you married yet?" Tang Wan moved under the shade of the tree.
"No, this child is also unlucky." Grandma Bai sighed and it was like she opened up her chatterbox when she talked about this.
"You haven't gotten married yet?" Tang Wan asked in surprise.
Grandma Bai's injured movements slowed down. "That's not the case. He's not a kid anymore. He's only two years younger than A Zheng. Kids his age can run around, but there's no sign of him."
Grandma Bai sighed when she talked about it.
"What's going on? He looks handsome..."
"It's because there's no one else in the family, except him. He doesn't even bother to find a matchmaker, let alone anything else. He himself doesn't want to find one, so the marriage is delayed." Grandma Bai was obviously worried about Dongzi, even more anxious than she was about Qin Zheng's marriage.
"Does the family save him himself?"
"He had a mother before, but she passed away a few days ago due to poor health, and he is the only one left. His family was originally from outside the village, and his father died early. As an orphan and a widow, they suffered a lot of bullying in the village." Grandma Bai shook her head.
In rural areas at that time, a large population was a trivial matter.
When fighting with others, only people from your own family stand up and have absolute say.
So at this time, when boys are favored over girls, no one would think it was wrong. Without a male in the family, even the land could not be kept.
Unlike the latter, it is not a big deal for Dongzi to be the only child.
He doesn't even have an uncle to take care of him, so he is destined to be bullied in the village.
Although Grandma Bai didn't say this directly, it was obvious.
People like Qin Zheng who have their own independent family and others dare not bully them are rare.
"Doesn't he want to find it himself?" Tang Wan mentioned another point that Grandma Bai had just mentioned.
"This child has been following A Zheng for the past few days. I treat him as my own child. I told him several times at that time, but he said he didn't want to look for him. I don't know what happened specifically. A Zheng also told me not to interfere, so I didn't ask again." Grandma Bai was a little angry when she mentioned it. It was obvious that she was a little distressed that these two people had not started a family.
Grandma Bai said that Tang Wan knew most of these, and she probably didn't know much of the rest, so she might need to ask Qin Zheng.
