Chapter 144

Uncle Zhao Liu was stunned. There were dozens of biscuits in that bag, and he hadn't even seen them for sale at the supply and marketing cooperative. This stuff must be very precious?

"Six Uncle, my sister-in-law told us to take it, so let's just take it. Come on, I'll escort you back first."

After they left through the gate, Xiao Zhang hurriedly apologized: "Six Uncle, I'm sorry. Brother Yu probably wanted to talk privately with Brother Wang, so I had to pull you out.

I'll send you back first. We can meet up another day.

Don't worry; both my Brother Wang and his wife are good people. They seem capable, and they know how to repay kindness. When your little grandson visits Brother Wang's house more often, Brother Wang and I can help look after him over time.

As for those vampire relatives of yours, don't bother with them anymore.

They're not worth it. As soon as you leave, that child won't even have food to eat."

Xiao Zhang couldn't hide his disdain when talking about Uncle Zhao Liu's family.

A whole group of people targeting an old man and a child.

They don't even consider how others live and still insist on causing trouble.

Hearing this, Uncle Zhao Liu's eyes welled up with tears: "Xiao Zhang, you're a good kid. Six Uncle... Six Uncle is suffering. My son and daughter-in-law, how could they have gone like that? Leaving behind such a pitiful little grandson, and I'm already so old, not knowing how much longer I can live.

If something happens to me, what will happen to the child?"

"Six Uncle, it's freezing outside. Let's go back to your place first. Last time I visited, I noticed your door wasn't sturdy. I'll reinforce it today," Xiao Zhang coaxed the old man back home.

The two of them left.

Back at home, Bai Xiuxiu, Wang Qinghe, and Yu Cheng, whom they had just met today, sat in silence.

Yu Cheng felt restless inside.

He wasn't good at speaking, which was why his family didn't favor him and preferred their niece's son instead.

He wouldn't have had to come here to avoid trouble otherwise.

Looking at Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe, Yu Cheng decided to be honest: "I asked Xiao Zhang to leave because I wanted to ask you, Qinghe, do you have parents?"

Suddenly, the room became even more awkward.

Seeing the couple staring at him with a look that suggested he was crazy, Yu Cheng grew even more nervous: "No, that's not what I meant. I just wanted to know if you were born to your parents?"

Silence fell even faster.

Yu Cheng now felt extremely uneasy, wishing he could just jump into the stove.

Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu understood what Yu Cheng meant but were shocked by his way of speaking.

Doesn't he get beaten up every time he goes out?

Bai Xiuxiu tried hard not to laugh and kept a straight face.

Regarding the provincial city, she and her husband remained cautious. No matter who spoke, they needed to stay alert.

After all, they knew nothing about the people from the provincial city, while those people could easily find out about them.

In Wang's family, they could rely on various means, but once there, everything would be much harder.

"I... well, actually, it's like this. You look a bit like a lost child of my uncle. His child has been missing for many years. At first, they couldn't search due to more important matters.

Later, when they could search, they had a new child and a new job, leaving no time.

Recently, they remembered to search for the child again. I came along with the nephew of the aunt from that family.

He came to look for someone, and I came to avoid trouble.

You look kind-hearted, and your age matches roughly what my uncle's lost child should be now, so I thought I'd ask. Who knows, right?"

Yu Cheng smiled brightly, trying to ease the tension.

Bai Xiuxiu sipped tea from her enamel mug without saying a word.

Wang Qinghe pondered for a moment and then smiled ambiguously: "Judging by Brother Yu, you must be someone of status, and your family must be quite powerful, right? Those who know your family must also be influential. Why didn't they search earlier?

Now that their work is stable, why haven't they searched until now?

Why the sudden urgency?"

He asked casually while checking the pot to see how the cooking was going.

The aroma of braised pork filled the air, making Yu Cheng feel a bit hungry. He took a sip of tea and complained with a grimace: "Who said it wasn't sudden? After all these years, they suddenly want to search. My father is close to them, but I'm not that close.

They prefer other people's children!

I think they might have remembered their lost child because their second and third children are useless, and the fourth is a girl chasing some guy in the courtyard.

So they remembered they had another child out there?

It can't be that unlucky to have four useless children, right?"

Yu Cheng's words were harsh, but he was much older than those children. Normally, he should have been married by now.

But he was rebellious, so he still hung out with the unmarried crowd.

The remark was blunt and disdainful, but Wang Qinghe just smiled and said, "How can it be considered unfortunate? If they haven't raised so many children well, shouldn't they reflect on themselves?"

"Right! That's exactly what I mean! I also think they should reflect on themselves, my old man too, these people, they all prefer other people's children!" When Yu Cheng mentioned that child from another family, his eyes almost blazed with fire.

"My uncle has a younger brother who got married early, and his children are two years younger than me."

In the eyes of the elders... oh no, I mean the older generation, he truly excels in every aspect. During festivals and holidays, he is the one who is always praised.

Yu Cheng spoke with a look of disgust on his face.

Over the years, he has really suffered a great deal because of this person.

"Ah? How did you steer the conversation off course? You haven't answered me yet," Yu Cheng suddenly remembered the important matter.

Wang Qinghe still smiled: "Whether I am the biological child of my parents, that's a question for them. How could I answer that for you? By the way, I heard you're interested in doing business?"

"Right? Didn't you say it's not possible?"

Yu Cheng looked listless.

"To be honest, I've recently been studying Traditional Chinese Medicine and planning to make something that can nourish the body. Once I've mastered it, have the qualifications, and can prescribe medicine, I'll come to you," Wang Qinghe gave him a heads-up.

Traditional Chinese medicine practitioners must undergo rigorous study and examination to qualify for prescribing medication.

It will take quite a bit of time, but let's first draw the cake for him.

Provide him with some more valuable medicinal materials to sell, first in small quantities to test the waters. If this person proves to be reliable, then use Yu Cheng's network to distribute them further.

If there's anything, naturally, he has to take responsibility for it. Most importantly, he can get news from the provincial capital through Yu Cheng.

"You've got this skill too? Alright, but how many years did it take you to learn?" Yu Cheng's face was full of frustration. Wasn't this a trip for nothing? The scolding at home would be doubled!

"I have some medicinal herbs, not a lot, which I've bought from others and saved up. Why don't you take them to the provincial capital and see if you can sell them? The prices there are generally higher than here, right? It's better than making a trip for nothing." Wang Qinghe looked at him and spoke slowly.
