Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Little Aunt will be in the Province for a very long time. I can’t say goodbye to her, but I want to say goodbye to Aunt Su Wen before I leave.”
“But you’ve been waiting for her for two days. She won’t come. If she would be here, she would have come a long time ago,” Song Jingxian had to be cruel.
She had already asked the middleman. Xiao Ya had no connections at home. She did not have enough food and clothing. No one would notice if she did not go home. Not to mention that someone would actually come over to look for her. This silly child, why was she so stubborn?
If someone really cared about her, they wouldn’t have sold her.
Song Jingxian felt disgusted at the thought of Li Caihua and Wang Yongmei. Fortunately, Xiaoya had become her child and she would take good care of her. Even when she returned to the Capital and her status in the family was not too high, she would still risk her life to protect Xiaoya.
“Aunt Su Wen is looking for me. She needs time.” Xiaoya said stubbornly.
“But we’ve bought our tickets. If we delay any longer, we’ll miss the train.” Song Jingxian looked at her watch and said, “Xiaoya, we can’t delay any longer. Can you come with me?”
“Ahh… Sobs…” Xiao Ya finally burst into tears. Song Jingxian carried her into the car as she looked in the direction of the Trinity village reluctantly. She desperately told herself that Aunt Su Wen was delayed, she was definitely coming to see her.
Perhaps Su Wen had not returned from the Province yet!
That’s right! That must be the case.
If even Aunt Su Wen did not care about her…
Xiaoya couldn’t stop crying at the thought of that.
By the time Su Wen and Su Xueyong found the address, it was already empty. There was no one at the address.
Su Xueyong, who had a quiet personality was so angry that he cursed.
“We were deceived by Li Caihua. No, I have to go back and settle the score with
her. ”
“Wait a minute.” Su Wen recalled that Li Caihua’s notebook was old. It was obvious that it had been used for many years. There were many records on it, and Xiaoya’s record was the latest.
It shouldn’t be a lie. “I’ll go next door and ask.”
“Alright.”
The two of them went to search separately. Fortunately, they were old neighbors who had lived here for decades. They were very helpful and simple. Su Wen asked around and got the answer.
“Did you mean Song Jingxian who lives next door? Oh! I know, she went back to the Capital.”
“The Capital?” Su Wen could not help but facepalm. It was too far!
Li Caihua was really capable. Her business scope was wider than she had imagined.
“Do you know when did she leave?”
“Just now. About an hour ago.”
“Did she bring a child?” Su Wen gestured. “A little girl, about six or seven years old. She looks very smart.”
“Yes, yes. I just don’t know where she came from. Song Jingxian rarely deals with us, so we didn’t ask her.”
Su Wen heaved a sigh of relief when her doubts were confirmed. She bid farewell to the neighbor, greeted Su Xueyong, and rushed to the train station.
The train was the most convenient way to go to the Capital from Clear Water County. The trains in the 1980s were different from now where there would be a train every ten minutes. The interval between each train was longer. If she went there quickly, she should be able to catch up.
Su Wen pedaled her bicycle very fast. When she arrived at the train station, she found a train attendant and asked him about the number of train to the Capital. Then, she spent twenty cents to buy a free platform ticket. As she walked through the crowd, Su Wen’s originally anxious mood miraculously calmed down.
Perhaps this was fate.
She would try her best to find Su Xiaoya. Even if there was a slight chance, she could not abandon Su Xiaoya coldly like others.
It would be answering to her Little sister and her conscience. She didn’t want to regret and have nightmares.
Now that she had done her best, her anxious heart calmed down..
