Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Another Poor Little Thing Chapter 7: Chapter 7 Another Poor Little Thing Thankfully, the lazy Fu Peng was killed half a year later due to stealing money, and the child was adopted by kind-hearted people.
After some upbringing, he grew up to become a renowned wealthy merchant, far and wide.
The child was then known as Fu Song, and later as Han Song.
In his thirties, he was discussing business with a major boss while they were both soaking in a bathhouse.
The major boss noticed a red crescent moon birthmark under Han Song’s arm, bursting into tears, claiming it to be the birthmark on the child he had lost over twenty years ago.
He cried because his beloved wife had died of depression ten years earlier due to losing their child in an accident.
He thought the birthmark on the rich second generation Han Song was just a coincidence, but Han Song mentioned that his origins were unknown.
After a paternity test, the reunion was successful.
This event became big news in Hai City at the time.
Because Han Song had lived in Xiaoliu Village, Lin Fangwei’s family paid close attention to this, and Meng Chuyue, who seldom left her home, also heard about it.
According to the current time, Han Song’s birth mother was still alive, and Meng Chuyue was preparing for a win-win meeting with them.
She secretly prayed that Fu Peng was not at home.
It seemed that the heavens had heard her call, as she passed by Fu Peng’s house and saw the dirty and skinny Xiao Song crouching alone in the hall watching a small beetle.
She immediately whispered to him, “Xiao Song…”
Upon seeing her, Fu Song’s eyes lit up, “Sister Chuyue, my dad is not at home.”
Fu Song liked Meng Chuyue very much; she was one of the few people in the village who often gave him food to eat.
He was a smart child and proactively clarified this because he knew everyone despised Fu Peng.
Meng Chuyue smiled slightly, raising her voice a bit, “I need to talk to you about something, let’s go to the water field next to my house.
I’ll go ahead, and you follow later.
Make sure not to tell anyone else.”
The door of the neighboring house was locked, and Meng Chuyue was not worried about eavesdroppers.
Fu Song obediently nodded.
Meng Chuyue’s water field was a little more than a mile from the end of the village and was bordered by a large willow tree.
She walked to the willow tree and placed her little basket under it, as usual, but unlike usual, she did not go down to the field to pull weeds.
Taking out two old newspapers from her ‘space’, she folded them a few times, sitting on one herself and leaving one for Fu Song.
Fu Song arrived quickly.
He obediently called out “Sister Chuyue” and stood in front of her without speaking.
Meng Chuyue gestured for him to sit on the newspaper, “Sit down and have something to eat first.”
She took a bowl of rice and a bowl of steamed dishes out of her little bamboo basket.
The steamed dishes, just prepared in her ‘space’, included steamed spareribs, steamed fish, and steamed green beans.
Fu Song really wanted to refuse because he felt embarrassed to accept such delicious food, but his stomach was growling, and he could barely hold back his saliva from dripping, so he dared not speak.
Meng Chuyue laughed, “Don’t be polite.
I made this especially for you, and I’m not giving it to you for nothing, as I need you to run an errand for me.”
Feeling that if he didn’t eat soon, his saliva would hit the ground, Fu Song took the bowl and sat down.
About ten minutes later, having eaten his fill, Fu Song, with flushed cheeks, asked Meng Chuyue, “Sister Chuyue, what do you need me to do?”
Meng Chuyue was silent for a while before speaking to Fu Song, “Xiao Song, the task I need your help with might cause you trouble, so before that, I need to tell you about your origins.
Xiao Song, did you know your biological parents are someone else?”
Fu Song blinked in shock and nodded, “I know, I’ve known for a long time.
They said it when they were drunk, but they never tell me where they stole me from.”
Meng Chuyue was relieved to hear that Fu Song knew this already and hurriedly said, “I know where your biological parents are.
A few days ago, I accidentally overheard Fu Peng and your grandma…
his wife’s conversation.
They said you are a child from a Mi family on Hai City Happiness Street, and your biological parents have been offering a large reward to find you.
He plans to bring you there to exchange for money but fears that they might recognize that he stole you.”
She knew her words were fictitious, but it seemed better to say it this way now.
After speaking, she quietly observed Fu Song, with her questioning gaze asking if he believed her.
