Chapter 1498 Su Rong (2)

The couple's life is difficult. Even though they have been married for three years, they have not yet given birth to a child.

They never thought about adopting a child.

But they were very kind. They saw that the baby was covered with ants, and the baby's cry was so weak. If they didn't take it away, he would starve to death or be bitten by the ants.

They picked up the baby, took off his clothes, and cleared away the ants before they discovered that it was a baby boy.

After seeing the baby boy, the couple hesitated a little. Could it be a defective child?

If they are defective, they cannot afford to support them given their living conditions.

Adding an extra bowl of rice and a bowl of porridge to a meal is still possible.

But physical defects, such as serious illnesses, require money to be treated.

They often sell fish outside and discarded babies are common.

But they are all female babies, and very few male babies are abandoned. The abandoned male babies are all sick.

The old lady's daughter-in-law wanted not to adopt her at that time, but the old lady's son said that no matter what, she would take him back and talk about it later.

So, the child was put in the fish bucket and brought home.

After returning home, the old lady bathed the baby boy and fed him before he fell asleep.

One night, in addition to being hungry, I murmured in search of something to eat.

I spent the rest of the time sleeping. When I had enough sleep, I opened my eyes and looked around curiously.

After raising the baby boy for a few days, I couldn't see anything wrong with the baby boy.

They were relieved that the child was not sick or in pain, so it was easy to raise them.

The old lady’s husband’s surname was Liu, and when they brought the baby boy into the household, they named him Liu Rong.

When Liu Rong came to live with the old lady for the first year, her daughter-in-law, who had never had children, suddenly became pregnant.

Ten months later, the daughter-in-law gave the old lady a granddaughter, named Liu Zudi.

After having two children, their life is not rich, but it is very warm.

Erya asked: "What about the eight little girls at home?"

The old lady said: "Landi and Xingdi were picked up and raised by Ah Fu."

Ah Fu is the son of the old lady, and Lan Di and Xing Di are the two oldest girls among the children.

"The remaining six belong to fishermen. One night, their family had an accident while going out to sea. The sons and daughters they left behind were adopted by relatives and friends. The daughters were not adopted, so Ah Fu brought them back. He took them When I came back, the youngest was just one month old.”

When Erya heard this, her heart tightened slightly, "Did the mothers of the children go to sea with them?"

"Of course, in order to have enough food to eat, any woman or old man, as long as they have a labor force, will go to sea and catch as much as they can." The life of fishermen at that time was very difficult, and it was not as beautiful as outsiders looked.

After a trip to the sea, there are some who do not return home for a month and a half. The children are either left in the care of their elderly parents, relatives, or fishermen who do not go to sea.

They eat, drink, poop, and sleep on the boat. If something unexpected happens, everyone on the boat will be buried in the ocean.

"Uncle and aunt, did you also encounter an accident at sea?" Erya looked at the old lady and asked.

"No, at that time, Ah Fu stopped fishing when he came ashore. He went to the stone factory to work, and when he was blowing up rocks, an accident happened and he was killed. The owner of the stone factory ran away, and we couldn't get any compensation. Arqiong She has always been in love with Ah Fu, I know this, but I didn’t expect that she would be so upset that she took medicine and left with Ah Fu.” The old lady’s eyes were red, and her face was full of sadness when she talked about her son and daughter-in-law. But she seemed to be very strong, never letting herself cry no matter how sad she was.

Seeing her like this in Erya's eyes, Erya's heart ached for a while.

The old lady sighed, her voice choked with sobs: "That was four years ago."

Erya reached out and held the old lady's hand.

The old lady's story was sad and pitiful. She didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to hold her hand and give her comfort.

"After her parents passed away, Zu Di had a fight with Ah Rong for some unknown reason and ran away from home. She hasn't come back yet. Alas, I don't know how she is doing now or whether she is being bullied outside. .”

Erya seems to be in a heavy mood...

"I'm an old woman with no income. I only rely on the money I get from renting out the second floor and Ah Rong's monthly money." The eight children spend a lot of money on a daily basis, and the youngest Hua Di is in poor health and needs to be taken care of from time to time. Go to the doctor.

"Grandma, everything will be fine." Erya said.

The old lady looked at Erya gratefully, "Girl, thank you for liking Ah Rong."

"..."

"Although Arong found his biological father, his family regarded him as a plague god and refused to accept him."

"But last night..."

"What happened last night?"

Erya thought for a while, shook her head and smiled, "It's okay. He didn't tell me this when I came back last night."

"He must be afraid that you will dislike him." The old lady looked at Erya deeply: "I saw that you are a lady, but Ah Rong is a poor boy. Are you really willing to follow him? Ah Rong is very hard-working and takes great care of himself. The salary is quite high, but now he has to support me, an old woman, and these girls... Ah Rong has been working very hard to let us live a good life, but one person's ability is limited... Girl, I hope you I can live a good life with Ah Rong, but I also know the situation in my family. Being with Ah Rong will be stressful. You have to think carefully and don't fall into each other's traps, and you will be hurt even more. You...can understand grandma If so?"

"I understand." Erya smiled easily, "Grandma, I don't look for a husband based on how rich his family is. My grandma also said that as long as the person is good, it's okay to be a beggar. Besides, Su Rong is a policeman and not a beggar. "

"The Lord has too many people to feed." One person earns money and ten people eat.

"After all the hard work, the joy comes, Grandma."

…

After separating from the old lady, Erya sent Zihan and Yuanyuan home.

Seeing that it was still early, Erya suddenly wanted to see Su Rong.

She called him and this time he answered.

The other party probably didn't expect that Erya would take the initiative to call him.

When he heard Erya's words, he was slightly surprised.

Erya asked straight to the point: "Su Rong, are you free tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."

"I'm not free tonight, maybe another day. I'm in the CITIC District now."

“Where is CITIC District?”

"Cuihua Village, Kenlan County."

"maybe next time."

After hanging up the phone, Erya played with the phone, frowning slightly, thoughtfully.

Kenglan County in Zhongxin District is not far away. If she drives there, it will only take 40 minutes if she goes fast.

Zhongxin District is very famous for its orange-red fruits.

She picked some and dried them in the sun. She usually soaked them in water and drank them, which was very effective in resolving phlegm and relieving coughs.

Thinking that her throat would be dry and itchy every winter, and now it was the orange season, she drove to Zhongxin District.

Then we went directly to Kenglan Village.

Zhongxin District is under the jurisdiction of K City, and Kenglan Village is very large.

She parked her car at the entrance of the village committee and walked into the village.

Along the way I heard people talking about dead people.
