Chapter Ninety-Four: Zhou Fei Secretly Visits the Miscellaneous Courtyard

As soon as Li Juan sat down and was about to feed Wang Wei apples, Wang Wei's mother came in, she looked as if she had something to say, but she didn't speak, and looked at Li Juan with a very strange look. Li Juan also felt what Wang Wei's mother wanted to say, but she never said it, which made her a little uncomfortable.

"Auntie, say whatever you want! Don't treat me like an outsider. Li Juan asked Wang Wei's mother.

"That's right, I came to ask how much more money I need, so that his dad can prepare. I couldn't find the doctor, and I didn't know where I could find him. This hospital is like a labyrinth, everywhere you go, so I came to ask you, you work in the hospital, you must be more familiar with this place than I am, I really can't find it. Wang Wei's mother was a little embarrassed when she said this, and there was a lot of helplessness, this woman who has lived in that small mountain village all her life is like a lost lamb in the big city, she can't find the direction of her home.

Listening to his mother's words, Wang Wei's tears fell, it was because of him that his mother was so embarrassed, he didn't dare to imagine how his mother, a person who couldn't read a few big words, went door-to-door to find a doctor, she must have suffered the eyes of many people, and she said those words to Li Juan in desperation.

Since he was a child, he has never let his parents worry, when he was a child, he was not in good health, and his parents carried him everywhere to seek medical treatment. Now he still vaguely remembers one winter night, he was very sick, as if he had a high fever, his father carried him to a neighboring village to seek medical treatment, and his mother carried a papier-mâché kerosene lamp to walk in front to illuminate the way, the paper on the wind-blown lantern crackled, and the flames on the lamp were swayed by the wind, like a ghost writhing his waist. Walking in the ice and snow, and at night, my mother stepped on the air, the lantern in her hand flew far away, and the kerosene lamp went out in the snow. My father couldn't help but scold my mother, but my mother didn't say anything, she got up and patted the snow on her body, and sobbed softly.

I finally grew up and started to go to school, but the family conditions have not been good, and my father began to go out to work with the people in the village, so it was difficult to see my father in front of him throughout the year, and only his mother and grandfather accompanied him.

I remember one time, my father and the people in the village went out to work together, when they set off before dawn, my mother made poached eggs for my father, my father finished eating, carried a white-washed canvas bag, and when I left, he touched my face with his calloused hands, and I woke up at this touch, and saw my father's eyes full of tears, and the expression on his face was regretful, painful, and helpless. At that time, I had begun to be sensible, and I saw the back of my father's departure in the morning light, and for the first time I understood that there was another taste of life, which made my tears flow on my immature face, and also made my heart twitch hard, although I can't say why, but let me have the most direct understanding of life and poverty.

In Wang Wei's life, poverty has always accompanied him, and he doesn't know why poverty has a soft spot for their family, and it is still the same as before. Now that he has graduated from college, he thought that life would be better and the burden on his parents would be lightened a little, but now something like this has happened, which makes them worry again.

"Mom, don't worry about the money, I still have some here, which should be enough for future medical expenses. Wang Wei saw that his aging mother was still worried about him and running around for his affairs, and he really wanted to slap himself twice.

"Yes, Auntie, don't worry about the money, we can handle it, and you also asked Uncle Wang not to borrow from the people in the village, and you have to pay back what you borrowed from others." Li Juan also persuaded Wang Wei's mother.

"Juan'er, you've been tired, you've been blessed since you were a child, and you've suffered such a sin. Now you have done a lot of things for Wang Wei that you have not done before, and his father and I have seen it in our eyes, you are really good to Wang Wei. I still disagreed with your affairs before, and I always felt that my son was better than you, and you were not worthy of him, but after this incident, I realized how ignorant I am, such a good girl is around, but we have been ignoring you. You and Wang Wei grew up together, you have been good since you were a child, and we also treat you like our own children, not noticing that you will grow up one day, and there is a relationship between you. If it weren't for you this time, Wang Wei might not have been so lucky, if it weren't for you, his father and I wouldn't know what to do, you are the benefactor of our family, and now I really feel ashamed of my previous thoughts. I told his father, we recognize your daughter-in-law, if Wang Wei bullies you in the future, you tell me, and I will help you clean him up. Wang Wei's mother took Li Juan's hand and said in a deep voice.

"Do you hear that? I'll be a member of this family from now on, and I will have helpers, so I see if you dare to bully me. Li Juan now has the confidence to speak, and their love has been recognized by Wang Wei's family, which is a great success, and she was worried that Wang Wei's family would oppose it, after all, there is a gap between her and Wang Wei.

"In the days to come, only you will bully me, and I will not bully you. Wang Wei said to Li Juan. He originally planned not to let his family know about him and Li Juan, but now it seems that there is no need for him to say it at all, they have known it for a long time, and fortunately they have recognized Li Juan, which will save a lot of trouble.

Love is really a wonderful thing, it came without any warning, but two originally strange hearts were tightly together because of it.

"Who are these two people? Why did Mr. Guan ask you to look for them?" Li Lan asked Zhou Fei while holding an old photo, staring at a young woman and the baby in her arms.

"No matter who it is, since Mr. Guan has confessed, we have to look for it, maybe these two people are very important to him!" Zhou Fei didn't want to guess the relationship between the person in the photo and Mr. Guan, but she vaguely felt that the relationship between Mr. Guan and the person in the photo was unusual.

"Do you think she will be Mr. Guan's wife? This child is very similar to Mr. Guan. Li Lan pointed to the child in the photo and asked Zhou Fei mysteriously.

"Don't guess, don't you find her and ask?" Although Zhou Fei didn't admit it, he also felt that the little girl in the photo had a lot of similarities with Mr. Guan. Besides, when Mr. Guan left the provincial capital back then, he would not have no relatives, and now he asked him to find these two people, it must not be a whim, it must be for a reason, maybe as Li Lan said. He remembers that when he first arrived at the company, Mr. Guan always liked to ask him about the provincial capital, and he inadvertently mentioned a place, which was the place he was going to now. At that time, he thought that Mr. Guan asked him because they were from the same city, and now it seems that there are still people in this city who are concerned about him.

Thinking that the two people he was looking for might be Guan Zong's relatives, Zhou Fei became inexplicably nervous, although he was only acting on orders, but if he really saw them, what should he say? If they are living well, it will be fine, if they are not living well, should he help them? So many questions suddenly popped up from his mind, and he really didn't know what to do for a while.

It can be inferred from the time behind the photograph that this photograph was taken fifteen years ago, so the woman in the photograph is now middle-aged! The little girl in her arms must be sixteen or seventeen years old! Even if he can find the place that Mr. Guan said, the people in the photo are still in the same place, can he still recognize them in the vast sea of people? Even if he can recognize them, how should he face them?

At this moment, Zhou Fei stood at the crossroads like a sinner, he didn't know whether to continue moving forward or do nothing, bought a ticket to return to Shanghai, and told Mr. Guan that there was no such person here.

"What's wrong with you, why are you suddenly so preoccupied?" Li Lan asked Zhou Fei, who suddenly stopped, he found that the expression on Zhou Fei's face was wrong, he was fine just now, and suddenly it was impossible to figure out what he was thinking.

"I don't want to go to them anymore, maybe Mr. Guan doesn't want me to find them, if I really find them, maybe I will help Mr. Guan. When he left Shanghai, Mr. Guan only told him to let him go and see these two people, and there was no other instruction, Guan always wanted him to do something, just look at them, make sure they were still in place, or let him help them? This ambiguous order made his feet as heavy as if they had been poured lead, and he couldn't take a step forward at all.

"Yes, I can ask Wang Wei, I remember that he once rented a house in that area, maybe he can give me some good advice, maybe he still knows them?" Zhou Fei suddenly remembered Wang Wei, and he decided to ask Wang Wei's opinion to see what he would do if it were Wang Wei.

"You give me pictures of them, maybe I really know them. Wang Wei listened to Zhou Fei's description and the words he heard from Mr. Guan, and he felt that the person Zhou Fei said was very similar to the landlady, and the little girl might be the current Liu Jian. He had heard the landlady talk about her, which was very close to what Zhou Fei had just said, and the time when Liu Bo left the provincial capital coincided with the time when Guan Mian left, this is definitely not a coincidence, how could there be such a similar story in the world.

When he saw the photo, Wang Wei was stunned, the people in the photo were the landlady and Liu Jian, he had seen this photo in the landlady's room, and he also made fun of Liu Jian for looking better than he is now when he was a child, and he saw this photo at that time. Now it seems that Zhou Fei's current boss Guan Mian is Liu Jian's father Liu Bo, who has been away from home for many years.

"I can tell you for sure now that the person you are looking for is my former landlady, and your current boss may be my landlord, his previous name was Liu Bo, he suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago, no one alive, no body dead. ”

"I see, I'm going to visit them now. After listening to Wang Wei's words, Zhou Fei decided to go and see them, how they had spent all these years? A woman has lost her husband, a child has no father, is there anything more sad in this world? He may not be able to help them, but at least he can know how they are doing.

"If you can't go back to the past, don't break their quiet life now, they are not doing well. Wang Wei reminded Zhou Fei. He was afraid that they would be hurt again, and it was better not to know anything than to be sad again.

"Don't worry! "Zhou Fei didn't expect things to go so smoothly, the world is so small, just a thought.

According to the address given to him by Wang Wei, Zhou Fei quickly found a noisy compound with the words "room for rent" posted on the courtyard door. When he and Li Lan entered, there were several middle-aged women in the courtyard holding pu fans and playing mahjong around a table.

"Excuse me, who is the landlord, I want to rent a house. Zhou Fei stepped forward and asked a few women who were playing mahjong.

A very fat woman stood up, she looked Zhou Fei and Li Lan up and down, and asked in a puzzled tone, "Are you going to rent a house?" The landlady was puzzled by the fact that Zhou Fei and Li Lan did not look like people who were going to rent a house here, whether in terms of their clothing or their manners.

Zhou Fei and Li Lan couldn't believe that the person standing in front of them was the beautiful and dignified woman in the photo, and time had not only made this woman vicissitudes, but also changed her appearance. Zhou Fei's heart was suddenly very sour, he was not sad for the woman in front of him, he was sad for the ruthlessness of time and the cruelty of reality.

While the landlady and Li Lan went to see the house, Zhou Fei called Mr. Guan and told Mr. Guan that they had seen the person he was looking for, what should he do next?

"I think you've guessed something, but don't ask anything, just find a way to get her bank account, and leave the rest alone, I'll take care of it myself." Mr. Guan gave Zhou Fei a new task.

"Your house is not bad, so let's do it! I don't have any cash on me, you give me your bank card number, and I'll transfer the money to your card!" Zhou Fei pretended to rent a house, and asked for the bank card number from the landlady, and when he and Li Lan were about to leave, Liu Jian came in through the gate after school, Liu Jian and the beautiful and dignified woman in the photo seemed to be the same person, she looked like her mother when she was young.

In order to do a good job, Zhou Fei paid a year's rent to the landlady's card, and also bought bedding and daily necessities and put them in the room they had just looked at, so that the landlady felt that they were permanent residents, and Zhou Fei and Li Lan only stayed in that compound for less than an hour.
