The Kitty Became a Cutie and Was Pampered in the 80s-Chapter 920: Trip to Beidu (5)

Finally, Wu Guoqun walked all the way to the Xiu Family’s house, while the driver drove there.

Actually, it’s only a few steps away, but because of the rain, the road conditions are currently not good, and walking is much more convenient than driving, especially since the roads are too narrow, making it likely difficult to turn around later, necessitating driving in reverse all the way out. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

However, he thought that even if he mentioned this, Mr. Duan probably wouldn’t be willing to get out and walk, so he could only bring him to the Xiu Family.

Ever since Liu Mei was beaten by Xiu Jianlin last time, she has never left the house again, and now she doesn’t have the ability to work; she just stays at home waiting to eat and sleep when it gets dark.

Xiu Jianlin, on the other hand, went to town to do hard labor. Since it’s winter, there aren’t many odd jobs available, so he could only do some labor work, earning less than a dollar a day. Plus, with Liu Mei unable to work, while other families started to improve their lives, their family’s situation got even harsher, to the point where they’ve been overdue on the required public grain contributions for several years.

When the car arrived at the entrance of the Xiu Family, Liu Mei was sitting at the kitchen door, staring blankly in one direction, while Xiu Cheng sat on the other side, holding a pencil and doing his homework.

As soon as the car stopped at the entrance, Liu Mei immediately looked over, thinking it was Jianguo’s car. Remembering the last time’s IOUs, she thought the Ruan Family had come to press for debt, so she hurriedly called Xiu Cheng to go inside, then slammed the door shut with a ’bang’.

"Who is this?" Watching Liu Mei scurry faster than a monkey, the driver rolled down the window and asked Wu Guoqun, who was standing nearby.

"She’s the wife of the man Wen Yu married."

"Her hand..."

"She lost its function a few years ago due to an electrical accident, and the one who just went inside with her is her son, ten years old this year," Wu Guoqun replied straightforwardly.

The driver nodded, then looked again at the man in the back seat, whose eyes were full of disgust. He didn’t say anything but just waved his hand and closed his eyes, saying, "Let’s go back."

"Alright." The driver responded, and then turned his head to thank Wu Guoqun, reversing the car out all the way.

Wu Guoqun stood there speechlessly, was this really a visit to find relatives? Not going inside to have a look? Not even asking about the situation? This was probably just a formality!

Wu Guoqun thought for a moment, swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue "Wen Yu also has another son," remembering Mr. Duan’s fussy nature and this perfunctory attitude towards finding relatives, he figured that they probably didn’t care about Xiu Xi’s existence.

After all, they were so perfunctory towards their cousin, let alone someone like Xiu Xi, who was several degrees removed and merely shared the Xiu family’s blood.

Of course, what he mainly felt was a reluctance to speak, as he was somewhat uncomfortable inside.

Watching the car reverse out all the way, Wu Guoqun followed the front of the car towards his home, not mentioning Xiu Xi again, and the person in the car didn’t either have any intention to ask for more details, directly asked the driver to, "Book the evening ticket."

"Okay."

The man’s visit did not stir up any waves in Xiahe Village, and the Ruan Jiaojiao’s family even didn’t know such a person had come.

Three days later, Xiu Xi began packing his clothes, preparing to follow the teacher leading the team to Beidu to participate in the final round of the Mathematics Olympiad competition.

From grades six in primary school to grade three in high school, a total of seven students would go to Beidu, led by a high school teacher, and the expenses would be covered by their respective schools.

Ruan Jiaojiao had called Old Master Shu early, asking him to look after Xiu Xi while there, and Old Master Shu happily agreed, very pleased with Ruan Jiaojiao reaching out to him for such matters.
