Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Disapproval Chapter 256: Chapter 256 Disapproval Mrs. Qi’s brows furrowed tightly, “It’s also thanks to them running into you today, otherwise, who knows what might have happened.”
“Godmother, why don’t you ask so acquaintances who live in the sa compound as the Feng family to see if they can find out why Feng Yi wouldn’t go ho and insisted on drifting outside.”
A sixteen- or seventeen-year-old boy, who clearly cos from a well-off family, wouldn’t be so foolish to prefer wandering outside to living a comfortable life at ho, unless he really had no other choice.
“Alright, I’ll make a call right now to inquire.”
Mrs. Qi pondered for a mont, then picked up the landline receiver and dialed a series of numbers.
As ti ticked away second by second, Kang Li watched Mrs. Qi finish the call and couldn’t help asking, “Godmother, did you find out anything?”
Mrs. Qi was chatting with a friend for a few sentences and then seemingly casually inquired about whether anything had happened to the Feng family recently. She heard her friend saying:
Lady Fang was inhumane, almost half a month ago, she drove her son, who had returned ho from the farm, out of the house. Although she later pretended to look for him near the compound for a day, the Feng family then fell silent.
“Xiao Yi ca ho with an injury on his leg, and his mother most certainly said sothing unpleasant, leading to a quarrel between Xiao Yi and her, after which she kicked him out of the house.”
As Mrs. Qi spoke, Kang Li sighed deeply, “When a son returns ho and is found to have a leg injury, instead of taking him to the hospital for a proper check-up, she drove him out of the house. I really can’t understand Lady Fang!”
Mrs. Qi’s face didn’t look so good, “It’s not surprising that Fang Su could do such a thing, but what’s pitiful is the hardships Xiao Yi has suffered outside these past half-months.”
Kang Li asked, “So, Godmother, are you going to tell Feng Yi’s family about his situation?”
“You said that Xiao Yi was unstable and had decisively cut ties with his family. He even threatened your godfather with harsh words, warning that if you tell his parents where he is…”
Mrs. Qi didn’t finish her sentence, but Kang Li knew what she ant by the unfinished words—after all, it was she who had relayed Feng Yi’s original words to Mrs. Qi. After a long silence, with her eyebrows slightly knitted, she said, “So, what should we do? Just let Feng Yi wander outside?”
Mrs. Qi: “That Mo Yan has taken Xiao Yi in, I think we should do this: next ti you go to the hospital, bring so money and coupons from .”
Kang Li: “But this is not a long-term solution.”
Mrs. Qi: “I know. But what else can we do now? Even if I tell his parents where Xiao Yi is, I suspect… they probably won’t take him back.”
“After all, after Xiao Yi was driven out of the house, that family only searched around the compound for one day, and then everything went quiet, as if nothing had ever happened, continuing with their lives as usual.”
Kang Li: “Having a job might be better, or he could go straight to the countryside to join the work teams, but in that case, who knows when he could return to the city.”
In fact, Kang Li was very clear that in another four or five years, the sent-down youths would be able to return to the city through the university entrance examination.
Of course, only if they could receive a university acceptance letter.
“That kid might not have been pampered, but going to the countryside to earn work points through physical labor would definitely not work. Moreover, once he goes to the countryside, returning to the city is not easy.”
Changing a good non-agricultural household registration into an agricultural one could significantly affect a child’s future developnt.
Clearly, Mrs. Qi did not approve of Feng Yi going to the countryside.
