Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Kind Thoughts Chapter 8: Chapter 8 Kind Thoughts Fu Song blinked his large eyes several times and asked Meng Chuyue, “Sister, what do you want me to do?
What risks will there be?”
Meng Chuyue said calmly, revealing alarming facts, “I need you to go to the town and deliver a letter to Meng Jingfen’s boyfriend, Zhao Aihua, exposing some things about Meng Jingfen.
If Zhao Aihua can’t keep his mouth shut, you will have offended my grandfather’s family.
Life in Xiaoliu Village will become even harder for you.
However, if you trust me, I’ll take you to Hai City to find your parents first thing tomorrow morning.
it’s all just a false alarm, I promise to support you in your schooling until you come of age.”
Fu Song shook his head, “I’ll help you.
Even if it turns out to be a false alarm, I don’t want anything else from you—just to take me away from Xiaoliu Village to the big city.
I can survive by picking up trash there.
Really, Sister Chuyue, I’ve wanted this for a long time.
I don’t want to stay here, I feel that if I do, sooner or later I’ll be beaten to death.”
He had tried to leave on his own, but every time he didn’t get far before being dragged back home by Fu Peng’s rascally friends.
As Fu Song spoke, tears began to fall uncontrollably.
Meng Chuyue let out a sigh, “Actually…
I secretly called the police station in Hai City, and they confirmed that the Mi Family is indeed looking for their child.
They said the child has a red crescent moon birthmark under the right armpit, by the ribs.
Xiao Song, if you have a red crescent moon birthmark under your right armpit, then this is almost certainly true.”
Only when lifting his arm high in the summer, without a shirt, could anyone see the birthmark under Fu Song’s armpit.
He was certain no one else in the village knew about it, so what Meng Chuyue said must be true.
Moreover, he couldn’t figure out why Meng Chuyue would lie to him.
To kidnap him for ransom?
Meng Chuyue’s mother was quite well-off; she wouldn’t need to do that.
Fu Song was young and didn’t realize how frugal Meng Chuyue’s life was.
Seeing her occasionally give him nice things to eat, he assumed she was wealthy, unaware that Meng Chuyue never had any money on her and often went hungry.
The reason she sometimes gave him food was out of empathy, sharing a little with him when there was abundance at home and relatives or friends were around.
Hope filled his eyes, “I have it—it seems what Sister Chuyue said is true.”
Meng Chuyue looked into his clear eyes and suddenly felt a pang of guilt.
No, she shouldn’t put this child in danger.
Even if she took Fu Song away immediately after it happened, what if one day Meng Jingfen harmed him…
She didn’t dare to think further.
Besides, there was no rush in taking revenge on Meng Jingfen.
She decided to drop the plan.
Feeling relieved, she spoke gently, “Never mind, my task is too dangerous, let’s not go through with it.
If you wish, I can take you with me to Hai City in a few days.
If you can’t wait, I can take you to the police station in town right now—they can help you, but you mustn’t say I told you any of this.
Just say you accidentally overheard his drunken talk or dream talk.”
Fu Song nodded then shook his head, “I know, I won’t betray you.
are you really sure you don’t need my help?
Sister Chuyue, I’m not afraid of danger.”
Meng Chuyue had done him such a big favor, and he was willing to take risks for her.
Meng Chuyue smiled wryly, shaking her head, “No, it’s really not necessary.
Go back home, Xiao Song.
Decide for yourself what you want to do, and when you’ve made up your mind, come and find me anytime.
I’ll be leaving for Hai City the day after tomorrow at the latest, and if you want to go, we can go together then.
Remember, don’t let on that you’re leaving.
Apart from the things you are very fond of, don’t take anything else with you.”
After a moment of silence, Fu Song said softly, “I want you to take me.”
It wasn’t that he didn’t trust the police, but he was afraid they wouldn’t believe him.
The matter of recognizing his family left no room for error, or else Fu Peng would silence him.
