Chapter 103 Mrs. Yao

　　Although the door of this house was closed, it was not bolted. The woman slapped the heavy door open a few times.

　　She came in a little flustered, and it could be regarded as letting Mu Qiong see her appearance.

　　This woman is very white, the kind of unhealthy white that has not seen the sun all year round. She is still very thin, just a layer of skin covering the bones.

　　Mu Qiong couldn't judge her age. Judging from the wrinkles on her face and the silver strands in her exposed hair, she could be in her forties or fifties, but if she was the mother of the previous child, That should be younger?

　　Her hair was wrapped on top of her head with a piece of navy blue cloth, her eyes were full of tears, her eyes were black and blue, and she looked precarious. When she saw Mu Qiong, she asked expectantly, "Is my son here?"

　　"What does your son look like?" Mu Qiong asked.

　　"He is four years old this year, wearing a moon-white dress..." Before the woman could finish her sentence, the child who was carried into the house by Mu Qiong stumbled out of the house and hugged her leg.

　　"Bao'er!" The woman burst into tears holding her baby.

　　"Mother, have you found Bao'er?" A thin voice sounded, Mu Qiong looked up, and saw a girl who was about 13 or 14 years old stuck her head out from the door, just like this woman. , asked softly.

　　And just after she finished asking, another girl who looked a little younger than her leaned out from behind her.

　　These two girls look alike, and the way they stick their heads out like this looks very cute, but both of them are a little too thin.

　　"I found it." The mother choked up and said, "Bao'er is fine."

　　"Mom, shall we go home then?" The smaller girl at the door tilted her head and asked.

　　The mother stopped talking, she held the child in her arms, her eyes were full of bewilderment.

　　The older girl at the door said to her sister: "If we go back, grandma will throw away my brother again."

　　The younger girl was taken aback: "Don't throw away my brother, he is very good, and he eats very little..." As she spoke, she began to cry.

　　Although it is only a few words, it is enough for people to understand some of the family's situation.

　　This somewhat silly child should have been thrown at their door by his grandmother, and the child's mother was unwilling to throw away his flesh and blood, so she came to find him.

　　"What's going on?" Mu Qiong asked.

　　The woman didn't answer, but looked at Mu Qiong warily.

　　At this time, the child in her arms suddenly put his hand on hers, and the woman subconsciously wrapped her hand around the child's hand, and then, the child in her arms opened his hand, and a candy fell on it. woman's hands.

　　Before Mu Qiong coaxed the child with sugar, the child ignored him, but Mu Qiong still stuffed the sugar into his hand.

　　Now he gave it to his mother.

　　The woman had been holding on until now, but when she saw this candy, she suddenly collapsed and cried "Wow".

　　She cried for a while before looking at Mu Qiong: "This candy...you gave him."
