Chapter 1244

Xi Jinchen frowned suddenly, the old lady looked pitiful, even Xi Jinchen felt a little sad for no reason.

He turned his head, "Assistant Hong, is there anything to eat in the bag?"

"Oh, there are some!" The dazed Assistant Hong finally pulled his thoughts back. He rummaged through the bag he was carrying, and finally found two cakes that he brought from the plane.

He quickly tore off the packing bag and handed it to the old woman.

The old man seemed to be really hungry. She didn't even have time to be surprised why two strange men broke into her house, and she didn't even doubt whether the food in Assistant Hong's hand was edible, so she just took it Stuffed it in his mouth.

Xi Jinchen couldn't bear to look directly and turned his head away. How could there be such a person in this village?
Assistant Hong also looked puzzled. When he came to this village earlier, he saw that every household was built with solid tile-roofed houses, and I heard that their heating facilities are not like ten years ago. They can only rely on their own fires for heating.

They are adjacent to a hot spring mountain, which is said to have been remodeled a few years ago, and the hot spring water is directly brought in by water pipes for heating.

And relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, because the hot spring mountain has gradually developed into a tourist attraction, there are no people in this village with particularly difficult conditions, and only Pengpeng and his family lost their child and their wife fell ill. Scatter all the wealth.

But where did the old woman in front of me come from?
The old lady devoured the cake, and ate up the cake in two or three bites.Assistant Hong hastily took out another piece, also tore open the packaging bag and handed it to the old woman.

Like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, the old woman ate quickly, and the packaging bag was empty in a short time.

She raised her head and stared at Assistant Hong with her cloudy eyes, but Assistant Hong could only shake her head helplessly at her this time.

He spread his hands, "It's really gone..."

The old woman's eyes gradually showed disappointment, but she still nodded to Assistant Hong.

"Thank you, you are really good people..." The old woman thanked Assistant Hong in her aged voice.

Xi Jinchen was attracted by her words, and it turned out that the old woman could still speak.He tentatively asked, "Mother-in-law, do you live here?"

"Yeah, it's been decades...always lived here."

As the old woman spoke, she twisted her body slightly.The tattered quilt covering her lap was rolled up with her movements, and then, a foul smell rushed to Assistant Hong and Xi Jinchen.

Assistant Hong couldn't help frowning, and he quickly held his breath.

God, how long has it been since no one took care of this mother-in-law?
Xi Jinchen's face remained unchanged, but the doubts in his heart became more and more intense.

"You have lived here for decades? Then what is your relationship with that kid named Pengpeng?"

The old lady's dull eyes suddenly lit up when she heard Xi Jinchen pronounce Pengpeng's name, "You...who did you just say...Pengpeng?"

Xi Jinchen narrowed his eyes, it seems that the relationship between this old lady and Pengpeng must not be simple.

"Is he your grandson?"

"Yes... yes... my grandson..." The old woman nodded tremblingly, and then tears rolled down from her eyes and ran across her old cheeks.

Xi Jinchen gasped the moment the old woman opened her mouth. It's not that Pengpeng has no relatives anymore. He still has a grandma, so he's not an orphan.

But when they decided to adopt Pengpeng, the people in the village said that Pengpeng had no relatives and no one could take care of him, so Xi Jinchen finally decided to adopt him.

But seeing the old woman's expression, Xi Jinchen felt that this matter was not that simple.He squatted down halfway and looked up into the old woman's eyes.

"Mother-in-law, how long has it been since you saw your grandson?"

"I can't remember... I can't remember..."

The old woman waved her trembling hands with sobs, "The child was lost before he could walk... My daughter-in-law went crazy, and my son took his daughter-in-law for treatment while looking for his grandson... It's been too long, I can't remember It's..."

Xi Jinchen's expression became extremely complicated. It seemed that the mother-in-law didn't know that Pengpeng had returned, and she didn't even know that her son and daughter-in-law drowned to death in this village.

Xi Jinchen stood up abruptly and walked out the door.

Assistant Hong trotted along, "Sir! Sir, wait! What's wrong with you?"

"Those villagers definitely have ghosts."

Xi Jinchen turned around and looked at Assistant Hong with a gloomy expression.

"They told me that although Pengpeng's parents have been looking for him, they still live in this village. But just now the old woman said that her son and daughter-in-law have not returned for many years. Isn't that contradictory?"

Assistant Hong was also stunned. He scratched his head.

"It's really not right... But maybe it's because the old lady is getting old, or because the son and daughter-in-law were stimulated, so..."

"Impossible." Xi Jinchen quickly denied Assistant Hong's guess, "Because it's totally unreasonable. When we decided to adopt Pengpeng, no one said that Pengpeng still has a grandma."

Because of Xi Jinchen's three or two sentences, Assistant Hong's mind was like a mess, and he couldn't make sense of it.

When he came back to his senses, Xi Jinchen had already left the courtyard.

He hurried to catch up, "Sir, where are we going?"

"Go to their village chief."

Xi Jinchen has been to this village before, and has communicated with the village chief, and knows where his family lives.

He led Assistant Hong around in the small village in the dark, and entered a relatively secluded alley.

Going to the deepest part of the alley is the village head's house.

Assistant Hong took a deep breath when he saw the bright lights in front of him.

Compared with the old woman's home just now, it's like heaven and earth.

Although he didn't enter the door, Assistant Hong could tell that the family's yard was very large, and the tall tile-roofed houses inside looked beautiful and tidy.

Faintly through the window, they can still see the furnishings inside.

Color TV refrigerators are all available, and there are even air conditioners and fully automatic washing machines.

Although these things are already standard equipment in almost every household, what surprised Assistant Hong was that in the same village, some people's homes were so magnificent, while some people's homes were not as good as those of poor families more than ten years ago.

Assistant Hong couldn't help being annoyed. Whether they lied or not is one thing, but they shouldn't be so indifferent to Pengpeng's grandma!
There was faint anger in Xi Jinchen's eyes, he clenched his fists tightly, and the veins on his arms exploded.

After a while, he still couldn't help kicking open the courtyard door.
