Chapter 358: 113: Find Sun Shiwu, pay back tooth for tooth, take it all as it is!_1
Li Xianxian gave a few more instructions, then said, “Mum, you guys should set off as soon as possible. It’s better to do this sooner rather than later. Once you get to Beijing, I’ll arrange for someone to meet you.”
“Okay.” Li Shu hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Xianxian, can I see you this time?”
Ever since the incident three years ago, the mother and daughter hadn’t seen each other in person.
Their only contact over the years had been through phone calls and telegrams.
For anything important, Li Xianxian would notify Li Shu over the phone.
And Li Xianxian never used a landline.
Li Xianxian frowned slightly, her stance firm as she said, “No.”
“But… I miss you a lot.”
“Mum, do you want to kill me?” Li Xianxian retorted.
“Of course not! Xianxian, why are you talking nonsense?”
Li Xianxian continued, “Since you don’t want to kill me, don’t ever mention this again.”
Li Shu sighed, “Xianxian, we can’t never meet for the rest of our lives, can we?”
Li Xianxian replied, “When it’s time to meet, we’ll meet. Mum, your most important task now is to get to Beijing as soon as possible.”
“Alright, I understand. You take care of yourself in Beijing.”
After hanging up the phone, Li Shu returned to the Mu Family.
The Mu Family house was the same as before, three very low mud huts. The two weather-beaten gates were filled with a sense of vicissitudes, as if they could be broken by a gust of wind.
The thought of leaving this run-down place and living the good life in the city filled Li Shu with elation!
Old Lady Mu was in the courtyard, doting on her grandson.
“My precious little darling! Would you give grandma a smile?”
The nearly seven-month-old baby was chubby, with bubbles of snot on his face. His neck and wrists were piled with fat folds, but his eyes lacked the brightness that a child his age should have, appearing hollow and listless.
But nobody in the Mu Family noticed this abnormality, treating him as their apple of their eye.
After all, he was the Mu Family’s only grandson.
“Mum, I have great news!” Li Shu entered the courtyard from outside.
In this era, being a ten-thousand-yuan household was a very big deal! freēwēbnovel.com
