Chapter 148 Little Hope
"You and your son don't have to be like this. It's not that serious. I just helped because I saw that my aunt loved her son so much. It's just a small favor. You don't have to take it too seriously." Su Wenyue waved her hand and said. She did have this in mind when she helped them at that time. She didn't think about asking them to return anything. But now that she knows Feng Susu's identity, she naturally has more ideas.
Su Wenyue didn't think she was mean. After all, she didn't harm anyone. Although she was suspected of using Feng Susu and her son, it was a fact that she saved Feng Susu and her son's lives. It was reasonable to ask for some compensation without affecting them. It is said that doctors are kind-hearted. Doctors have to charge consultation fees for treating patients. Even kind-hearted doctors will only waive consultation fees when they encounter patients who are really in need.
Seeing Su Wenyue like this, Feng Susu and her son were even more grateful. They felt that Madam Han was really kind. After all, they really had nothing to gain. Apart from kindness, Feng Susu and her son could not think of any reason for Su Wenyue to help them. As for that matter, except for Su Wenyue, no one knew about it at this time. Even if Feng Susu and her son knew, they would not live such a displaced life.
"Madam Han is kind-hearted and is willing to help. Although it is a piece of cake for you, it is a great favor to us mother and son. We mother and son will remember it in our hearts for the rest of our lives. As long as Madam Han has any instructions, as long as we can do it, we will never refuse it." Although Feng Susu is a woman, she is also a person who speaks with great force. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to raise her son by herself under such difficult conditions.
Su Wenyue did not intend to continue this topic. Anyway, she would take what she should ask for when the time comes. Remember that the mud house where Feng Susu lived before collapsed halfway due to rain, so they lived in a dilapidated temple.
"Aunt, are you still living in the ruined temple with your children? How do you make a living? Do you have any plans?" Su Wenyue asked these questions with the intention of getting closer to them, but also to help the mother and son. Before they are found, they still have a hard time to go through, and she doesn't mind helping them. Feng Susu and her son are both worthy of her help.
If someone else asked these questions, the mother and son would probably be angry and defensive, but when Su Wenyue asked this, Feng Susu and her son could feel Su Wenyue's kindness.
"Once the house collapsed, we had no place to live, so we could only live in a dilapidated temple temporarily. But it didn't matter. We were used to this kind of life after so many years of wandering. As for livelihood, Tai'er could earn a few dollars writing letters for others on the street, and I could earn a few dollars a day washing clothes for rich families. We had no worries about supporting ourselves, and we had no other plans. Our biggest wish in this life was to find the father of the child and live happily together as a family."
Feng Susu was a woman with a strong character. She had been looking for her husband for so many years without any news for many years. Most people would have given up, but she always held on to hope and firmly believed that her husband was still alive in this world, and she never stopped looking.
"I heard that the child's father went to the army, right?" Su Wenyue followed Feng Susu's words and asked.
Feng Susu's eyes were red when she mentioned her husband who had been separated for many years: "That was thirteen years ago. The child's father enlisted in the army. In the first one or two years, he would write a letter to ask someone to bring back the military pay. Later, there was a war on the border, and his father followed the court's army to resist the foreign enemy. Who knew that he would never come back and there was no news. Later, there was a flood in my hometown. The crops at home were gone, and the house collapsed. We couldn't make a living, so I took the child away from my hometown. I relied on doing some odd jobs or begging along the way. It took me three years to get to the border town."
Su Wenyue heard this and admired Feng Susu: "What happened next? When we arrived at the border town, Didn't find the child's father? "
Feng Susu shook her head: "Finally arrived at the border town, I was very happy, thinking that I could finally see the child's father, but it is not easy to find someone in such a big border town. I went to the military camp to inquire, but they said that there was no such person. Later, I went to many places nearby to inquire, but there was no news at all. Later, I heard from an old soldier who came down from the battlefield that the child's father was transferred to another place. I took the child to find him. I went to many places but still couldn't find him. Two years ago, I heard that the child's father might be found in Xinye, but I was still disappointed. "
This is simply a sad history. Su Wenyue felt the difficulty just by listening to it, not to mention that Feng Susu walked through it day by day.
"Auntie, do you still plan to look for him next? But where should we look next? It's not a good idea to keep looking blindly like this." Su Wenyue knew the whereabouts of the child's father, but she couldn't reveal it at this time, because she would never know this matter in this life. If she told it, she would have no way to explain how she knew it. However, she couldn't bear to let Feng Susu continue to look for him like this.
"I have no other way. I can't think of any other way."
"Why don't you stay here first? My husband is on duty in the military camp. Tell me about the child's father's situation, and I'll let my husband find out for you. It's better than you running around like a headless fly." Su Wenyue thought for a while and said
"Really?! This is great. I, a humble woman, don't know how to thank Madam." Feng Susu didn't expect Su Wenyue to be willing to help. She stood up excitedly and almost cried. How lucky was she to meet such a kind-hearted person like Madam? She was about to kowtow to Su Wenyue again.
Su Wenyue quickly pulled her up: "Auntie, don't be like this. I just asked my husband to look for it. It's hard to say whether he can find it. If he doesn't find it, I will disappoint you."
"It's okay, it's okay. I have been looking for so many years and I don't expect to find it immediately. Madam is willing to help me. I am very grateful."
"Don't call me Madam, it's so unfamiliar. My last name is Su and my name is Wenyue. Auntie, just call me Yue Niang. My family calls me that."
Su Wenyue originally wanted to keep Feng Susu and her son, but it was only the second time they met. If she was too enthusiastic, it would be abnormal. She had to suppress her thoughts and let them go back first. When Han Yu came back in the evening, she told him about the search.
This is not a big deal. Since his wife asked him for help, Han Yu agreed without hesitation: "But my wife, you only have a name and an ancestral home. With this little information, I'm afraid there is little hope of finding someone who joined the army more than ten years ago."
