Chapter 29: Left-behind Children
Qin Chuan is a very suitable person to be a lawyer, she faces things objectively and rationally, she does not have too many emotional fluctuations, for her, the story of the grandmother is a case, a matter to be done, many times, no matter how much emotion is just in vain, love can not dominate the law, as a legal person, emotional fluctuations seem to be a kind of professionalism, at this moment, she seems to be a very mature practicing lawyer.
Miao Miao naturally seems out of place among this group of lawyers, not only does she not have a common topic with them, but she also has no common views on things, her sensibility, her sympathy, and her tears will only make this group of people think that she is rare and strange, and a few ignorant interns even think she is a little hypocritical.
However, no matter what other people think of her, they can't change a fact, Uncle Wolf appreciates her true temperament and understands her emotions, as a lawyer, like other colleagues, he has seen too many sad stories and tears, in front of others, he may be a little professional numb and calm, and only Miao Miao is different in his eyes.
Miao Miao got up to leave, and Uncle Wolf got up and followed her closely, avoiding the crowd, he took her tightly into his arms, "Fool, I'm starting to be sentimental again." β
"I can't believe how her children can be so ruthless, and all five of them, you say, is there any deep hatred she has with her children? Or is there something wrong with her own education? Or are these children born cold-blooded? β
In fact, sometimes it is not as complicated as we imagined, in such a backward remote area, the education they can receive is limited, it is difficult for men to marry daughters-in-law, basic women are in charge, women here are even more arrogant, greedy and cheap, short-sighted, once the old people are sick, they need money, they need people to guard, no one is willing to contribute money and efforts, in this place, no one supports the problem of the elderly.
Uncle Wolf hugged her tighter, "This may be because I have a daughter-in-law and forget my mother!" β
"It's really pitiful, have you figured out how to help grandma?"
"Let Qin Chuan deal with these little things, and bring them to exercise."
When Miao Miao and Uncle Wolf returned to their seats again, Qin Chuan was still seriously asking and recording, at this moment, she was receiving a little boy about six years old, a village name was next to the child to help the child describe, the child's father worked outside all the year round, and died in an accident, the urn was still the village chief gathered a few capable villagers to go home together, and his mother ran away from home because of his poor family, and the little boy lived alone since then.
The child's name is Ma Ping, the child is barefoot, his body is black like a coal ball, he can't see the color of the clothes on his body clearly, his hair is like a mess, his two dark eyes turn from time to time, he is so thin that he can see the joints clearly, only his belly is a little bulging.
Qin Chuan stared at the child amiably, "Tell my sister, how can you cook alone?" β
The child looked reserved and shy, lowered his head, and folded his fingers, "Mom taught me how to cook before leaving." β
"And what do you usually eat?"
"Sometimes I put the potatoes in a jar and cook them and eat them, sometimes I throw them in the fire and cook them and eat them..."
"Do you just eat potatoes? What kind of food to eat? β
"I ate all the kimchi in the jar, there are no vegetables, my mother said that she would buy me meat back, I was waiting for my mother..."
What a poor and innocent child, he didn't know that he had been abandoned, he was lonely and kept thinking about waiting for his mother to come back, Miao Miao silently shed two lines of tears.
Qin Chuan continued to ask, "How long has your mother been gone?" β
Ma Ping shook his head, "I don't know..."
The villager who led the child next to him said, "I have been walking for about a year, sometimes I can't stand it and get him some food, the rural life is not easy, I have three children at home, one more person really can't raise it, otherwise I will lead him to my house, it is really pitiful, the roof is rotten a few holes, the house becomes a waterhole when it rains, we sometimes have to be empty, cut some reeds and grass for him to cover the roof, can only ensure that the sleeping place is dry." β
Miao Miao really couldn't listen to it anymore, tears rolled down like pearls with broken threads, she rummaged through her bag, found some snacks and walked up, handed them to Xiao Ma Ping, Ma Ping looked at Miao Miao timidly, dragged his clothes with both hands, and didn't dare to reach out to pick up Miao Miao's snacks, the villagers quickly muttered two sentences to Xiao Ma Ping in the local language, and then he slowly stretched out his hand to accept Miao Miao's kindness.
Qin Chuan smiled at Miao Miao and continued to ask the villagers just now, "Do you have her mother's contact information?" β
"No, we don't have his mother's contact information, she came to my house before she left to explain a few words, I thought she would come back in a day or two, who knows, hey!"
"Do you know where his grandmother's house is? Has his mother gone back to her parents' house? β
"His grandmother's house is on the other side of the mountain, and we are too busy with our own affairs, and no one has asked."
"The village cadres must know about Ma Ping's situation, how did they deal with it?"
"There are many left-behind children in this village, some are taken care of by grandparents, the children can't go to school, don't eat, don't live, etc., and the elderly make a fuss in the village committee office all day long, these things can't be managed, how can they have time to take care of Ma Ping's affairs."
Miao Miao remembered what Uncle Wolf had told him, when he was very young, his mother couldn't bear the poverty, and chose to run away from home, Uncle Wolf is better than this child in that he has grandparents and father, Uncle Wolf can go to school at that time, but this Ma Ping in front of him is not as lucky as Uncle Wolf.
At the same time, Miao Miao was glad that she had her sister to take care of her, and her gratitude to her sister deepened.
Miao Miao looked at Uncle Wolf, Uncle Wolf seemed to be pondering something at the moment, she was afraid that he would think of his unhappy childhood, she stretched out her hand and held Uncle Wolf's hand tightly, Uncle Wolf looked at her and smiled slightly, and reached out to help her comb her sideburns.
Qin Chuan saw that Uncle Wolf and Miao Miao were looking at each other affectionately, and thought: Miao Miao is naΓ―ve, regardless of the occasion, this Hu Lang also follows her like this, this is really embarrassing.
In order to break the embarrassment, Qin Chuan shouted at Hu Lang on the side, "Hu Lu, I want to ask a question." β
The two came back to their senses in an instant, and Uncle Wolf said seriously: "If you are not in a hurry, you can ask it after the record is over, and if you are in a hurry, you can also ask it now." β
"There's no hurry." Qin Chuan didn't have any problems, he just didn't want to see the two of them show affection as if no one was around.
Zhang Song walked over with a smile and asked, "How are you doing here, have you encountered any tricky things?" β
Zhang Song has a good impression of Qin Chuan, and came over to talk, in fact, just to see Qin Chuan.
When Qin Chuan finished making all the records, the child left, Miao Miao followed, and Uncle Wolf also followed...
