Chapter Ninety-Five: The Strange Woman
After Lin Yue left, Zeng gently came out from the corner on the side, she bit her lower lip tightly, and looked at the direction where Lin Yue disappeared viciously for a long time.
"What does the counselor ask you for? What's the matter with the billboard photo? ”
Song Wei saw that Lin Yue was back, so she stepped forward to hold Lin Yue's arm and asked with concern.
"I told her the truth, as for what to do later, it's none of my business, but, Zeng Qing, I won't let her go."
Lin Yue's eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold voice came out of her mouth, like a grim reaper.
"Classmate, is it convenient to ask you about personally?"
As soon as Lin Yue and the three of them walked out of the school gate, they met a middle-aged woman dressed as a countryman.
The woman wore a gray scarf around her neck, because she had worked in the fields all the year round, the skin on her face was a little tanned, she was wearing a washed and somewhat faded maroon shirt, blue straight-leg pants on the bottom, her knees were a little shiny, she was stepping on a pair of newly made cloth shoes, and she was carrying a common fish scale bag in the countryside, which was bulging.
"Auntie, this is Jingda, who are you looking for here?"
Song Wei asked the woman out loud.
"I'm here to find my daughter, but the family has just finished harvesting in autumn, and I got some money from selling grain, so I hurried to Kyoto to see her."
After the woman finished speaking, an embarrassing smile pulled out at the corner of her mouth, because she had not drunk water for a long time, her lips were chapped, and with her smile, blood immediately appeared on her lips.
"You name her and I'll help you go in and call her."
Song Wei continued.
"My daughter's name is Xiaorou, as for the big name, I don't know, I only know the nickname."
The woman licked her lips with her tongue, and the blood that had just come out was licked into her mouth, and Lin Yue felt a taste of blood in her mouth when she looked at it.
"You should know what your daughter's last name is, right?"
Yu Shanshan saw that the woman was speaking too slowly, so she hurriedly asked.
"Her surname is Zeng!"
"Surname Zeng?"
Lin Yue repeated in surprise.
The surname is Zeng, and the nickname is Xiaorou, could it be Zeng Qingrou?
Impossible!
Lin Yue couldn't connect the simple woman in front of her with the arrogant Zeng Qingrou.
"Auntie, it's school time, some of the classmates are out to eat, and some are in the cafeteria, it's not easy to find, why don't you go to have a meal with us first, and then we'll help you find it?"
"I see that you are also tired, so let's go eat and rest first."
Lin Yue was very curious about the relationship between the woman in front of her and Zeng Qing, so she wanted to take her to have a meal, and by the way, she came out.
When the woman saw that Lin Yue didn't help her find someone, but wanted to invite her to dinner, she was a little puzzled.
"Auntie, look at the school gate now, there are so many people coming in and out, it's hard to guarantee that your daughter is not in the school at this time, so when you finish eating, I'm helping you find it."
Lin Yue continued to persuade.
"Okay then."
The woman lowered her head and hesitated, then agreed to Lin Yue.
Lin Yue took the woman to a Lanzhou ramen restaurant, the four asked for four bowls of ramen, the woman saw that a bowl of noodles was not expensive, so she picked up chopsticks and ate, she was indeed hungry, she took the train for almost ten hours in a row, before arriving in Kyoto, she was really hungry and tired, at this time can eat a bowl of hot noodle soup, it is really comfortable.
"Auntie, where are you from?"
Lin Yue looked at the gobbling woman in front of her and asked out loud.
"I'm from Henan."
"We haven't been around for a long time, and you miss your daughter? I really envy your daughter, my mother loves her so much, my mother doesn't even want to take the initiative to call me. ”
Lin Yue said to the woman as if she was sad.
"Hey, it's a long story, my daughter has been in poor health since she was a child, she has heart disease, my family was very poor at that time, and I couldn't afford to support her, so I gave her away and adopted her, she is the richest family in my village, and I went to peek at her every once in a while."
The woman began to cry as she spoke, and when Song Wei saw it, she quickly took out a stack of tissues from the carton next to her and handed it to the woman.
"No, I'll just wipe it with my sleeve."
The woman rejected Song Wei's kindness, grabbed the side of the washed whitened sleeve with her hand, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Now that my daughter is in college, I just want to come and see her, and by the way, I will leave her some money, which can be regarded as a drop of my heart as a mother."
As she spoke, tears welled up in the woman's eyes, and she quickly lowered her head again and wiped them away.
Song Wei on the side looked a little distracted, and her eyes were full of tears, Yu Shanshan saw this and quickly scolded her with her arm, and then asked what was wrong with her eyes, Song Wei shook her head with a smile, indicating that she was fine.
Lin Yue understood the relationship between the woman and Zeng Qingrou at this time.
The woman in front of her should be Zeng Qingrou's biological mother, because the family was poor when she was a child, and she was afraid that she would not be able to support her sick daughter, so she gave Zeng Qingrou to a relatively wealthy family in the village, and now her daughter is in college, and it is Kyoto University, so she wants to come and see, and then leave a sum of money for her daughter to make up for the debt she owed to her daughter before.
"Auntie, when I used to live in the dormitory, there was a roommate named Zeng Qingrou, where is her home, I don't know, I only know that she has congenital heart disease, I don't know if it's the person you're looking for?"
Lin Yue thought about it, but still felt that it was better to tell the woman in front of her, after all, mother's love was not sinful.
"Yes, yes, yes, it's called Zeng Qingrou, girl, it's convenient to take your aunt to the dormitory to find her? I'll just take a look, then put down the money, and I'll go. ”
After listening to Lin Yue's words, the woman grabbed Lin Yue's hand holding the chopsticks and asked anxiously, and her tone sounded a little sad.
"Auntie, don't worry, wait until I'm done eating noodles."
Seeing that the woman was in such a hurry, Lin Yue withdrew her hand and hurriedly lowered her head to eat noodles.
