When Li Xinke heard this, her face was shocked, and she hurriedly asked the woman:

"Huh, when did you say that it happened?"

clearly knew that the girl mentioned by the woman was her friend Qiao Tiantian.

Qiao Tiantian's mother is a student of the flower teacher who taught them. As for who Qiao Tiantian's father is, the current Li Xinke does not have all the memories of Li Xinke, and it is not too clear.

But she understands one thing, after Qiao Tiantian's mother had Qiao Tiantian, it didn't take long for Qiao Tiantian's father to fall in love with a rich daughter. So, he filed for divorce from Qiao Tiantian's mother.

Qiao Tiantian's mother is a person with strong self-esteem, but for the sake of the child in her belly, she also tried to keep it. It just didn't work out. divorced Qiao Tiantian's father.

Later, Qiao Tiantian's mother worked hard for herself and her family.

Within a few years, he was diagnosed with bowel cancer.

Qiao Tiantian's mother handed Qiao Tiantian over to her grandfather and grandmother to take care of. When Qiao Tiantian was only three years old, her maternal grandparents died in the same year.

Qiao Tiantian's grandmother's neighbor, that is, Teacher Hua, was entrusted by the neighbor to take care of Qiao Tiantian with her husband.

Qiao Tiantian's maternal grandparents had the only wish before their deaths: they wanted Qiao Tiantian to grow up happily and not follow the path her mother had walked.

After listening to the flowers, the two couples agreed. They have been taking care of Qiao Tiantian since Qiao Tiantian was less than three years old. This care has been taken care of for more than 10 years.

Although the old couple have a pension, after retiring, they returned to the countryside and contracted more than ten acres of land. He also raised chickens in the mountains, built his own ponds to raise fish, and fed ducks and geese.

The annual income is not less.

However, Mrs. Tu's son has never paid anything to Qiao Tiantian in these years, so why should he take Qiao Tiantian back to Tu's house?

Li Xinke frowned slightly, feeling that since she knew about this, she had to tell Qiao Tiantian in advance. Be sincere, and you can be a friend.

The woman's voice came again:

"That's what happened this morning. Mrs. Tu's son also drove over in a small car and brought nutritional products to Mrs. Tu. ”

"Hmm. ”

Li Xinke listened and nodded, indicating that she was listening.

The woman continued:

Mrs. Tu told him to hurry up and take Qiao Tiantian home. There is such a promising child, but it is the honor of their old Tu family! However, the son of the old lady Tu did not agree, he said......"

Mrs. Tu's son said he wanted to have another one with his future daughter-in-law.

That Qiao Tiantian was originally with her mother. He went to pick her up and would hurt his girlfriend.

When Mrs. Tu heard this, she became anxious and said to her son: "If you don't bring back my granddaughter, Qiao Tiantian, I won't treat the disease, and I'll die." ”

At this time, Li Xinke remembered what Ye Wanfu had said to her.

Mrs. Tu's second son's girlfriends are nine years older than him.

The man was almost forty years old, and he said he wanted to have a child with his girlfriend......

I'm afraid it's hard to even coax Mrs. Tu to say this, right?

Li Xinke waited for Du Muhao to stop chatting with the woman, so she said softly, "Mom, I'll go downstairs to the cafeteria to buy some food." Will be back soon. ”

Du Mu heard this, so he reached out and took out fifty yuan from his pocket, gave it to Li Xinke, and said:

"Go ahead, don't rush. When you go to the queue to buy your food, when you come back, go slower, don't burn it. ”

"Well, okay. ”

Li Xinke nodded and said.

After taking the money, I left the ward and went to take the elevator.

When Li Xinke went downstairs, he met Hua Nianzhu in the hall. I saw Hua Nianzhu carrying an insulated lunch box in his left hand and a bag in his right hand, which contained five convenient lunch boxes.

Li Xinke was just about to say hello, only to hear Hua Nianzhu say:

"Coke, you came just in time, I forgot to bring a spoon here, you take the money and go buy a spoon. ”

As he spoke, he handed over the five yuan he had in his hand.

Li Xinke shook his head and said, "I have." ”

Hua Nianzhu was anxious and said, "You kid, why are you so tough?"

Li Xinke listened, so she had to reach out and take the money. Walked out of the hall and bought a spoon in a small shop nearby.

I saw that there was a pay phone on the other side of the store, and the price was marked on it.

Local calls, 2 yuan a minute. Long-distance calls, 3 yuan a minute.

As soon as he saw the call charge, he frightened Li Xinke. But after thinking about it, he still took out five yuan and said to the boss: "I'll make a call, short-distance." ”

When the boss heard this, he unlocked Li Xinke and handed her the phone.

Li Xinke relied on his memory to dial Qiao Tiantian's phone number. After the phone rang several times, she heard Qiao Tiantian's grandfather's voice:

"Hello?"

"Grandpa Yan, hello, I'm Li Xinke. I'll call you......"

Before he finished speaking, the other party said, "Xinke, wait a minute, I'll come back to you." ”

Within two minutes, Grandpa Yan really called back. Li Xinke gave the boss two yuan and answered the phone with a receiver. I only heard Grandpa Yan say on the phone:

"Xinke, you called, are you looking for Tian Tian?"

"Yes. ”

"Tian Tian is not at home. She left me a note, saying that she heard people say that your mother-in-law went to the county to sell salted duck eggs and suffered from heat stroke. And she went out to see her......"

When Li Xinke heard this, she felt that something was wrong. Just asked on the phone:

"How long has Tian Tian been gone, do you know?"

In the passenger station of Fengqi Bai Township, the shuttle bus to the county seat only sends twice a day. Runs at 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. at noon.

If Qiao Tiantian was late, he wouldn't be able to catch the car.

Grandpa Yan's sigh came from the phone, and after a few seconds, Li Xinke heard Grandpa Yan say:

"I went to the fields early in the morning and dug up potatoes. By the time I got back, it would be almost four o'clock in the afternoon. I didn't have lunch and came back early ......."

As soon as Li Xinke heard this, he also understood that Qiao Tiantian should not have gone to the township bus station to take the shuttle. She said truthfully on the phone:

“…… I heard these words from a patient. That person had been to Granny Tu's ward, and it was only when he heard Granny Tu say that that he told us about it. ”

"Okay, I see, Hinkko. Grandpa Yan said and hung up the phone.

Li Xinke put the receiver back in its place, left the shop, and returned to the ward where Du Muhao was staying. After she ate, she briefly mentioned Qiao Tiantian's matter to Du Muhao.

"You're doing the right thing, Cole. ”

Du Muhao reached out and patted Li Xinke's shoulder and said:

"The person who did the immoral thing of abandoning his wife and children was Bu Zhilian's second uncle Tu Yiming. At that time, no matter how Qiao Tiantian's grandfather and grandmother persuaded Tu Yiming, he didn't listen, and he had to insist on divorcing Qiao Yongmei......"
