There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 105 Two eager gazes

“Xinyue, why don’t you sweat?”

Gao Guilan stood up and shook the water on her hands, staring at her daughter's face to see why she didn't sweat even a drop. This is strange.

“I heard that people who are sick don’t sweat, but people who are healthy only sweat!”

Zheng Xinyue was shocked, but luckily she reacted quickly and found an excuse immediately.

"Is that so? Mom will go to the warehouse at night and beg Master Huang to cure your illness. Mom would rather go hungry as long as you are not sick."

Gao Guilan listened to her daughter's words and looked at her with a distressed expression. Zheng Xinyue was moved by her words.

 Would rather go hungry as long as she can be healthy?

 What great maternal love, she is so lucky to have such a good mother.

No matter how she treats others, she is 100% kind to herself. If curing her disease requires a piece of mother's flesh, I believe she will cut it off and give it to herself without blinking an eye.

"mom."

Zheng Xinyue felt like crying. She threw herself into Gao Guilan's arms and called her in a choked voice.

“Good girl, it was your mother who made you sick because she failed to take good care of you. She owes you everything in your life.”

Gao Guilan gently brushed her daughter's smooth hair with loving eyes.

 I don’t know if it’s an illusion? Why did she smell the sweet fragrance of her daughter, like a mixture of fruits and flowers?

“Mom, you don’t owe me anything, I only owe you and dad!”

Zheng Xinyue sniffed and raised a smile to act coquettishly at Gao Guilan.

The couple rested for a while by the river, ate two tomatoes to quench their thirst, and then continued walking to the city.

 “Mom, we’re almost in town.”

Seeing that she was about to enter the city, Zheng Xinyue's excitement was replaced by nervousness. She lowered her voice and said something to Gao Guilan.

"Um."

Gao Guilan took a deep breath, like a big rooster ready to fight, and walked towards the city with his head held high.

 After entering the city, the couple did not dare to go to the busy roads, and specifically looked for family areas near the factory.

The local inspection teams usually don't come to places like this, and they hide them at the door of the supply and marketing cooperative in the city! Generally, when people from rural areas come to the city to sell things, they have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative. Those with letters of introduction are ignored. But those who secretly find someone to sell without a letter of introduction are immediately arrested, the goods are confiscated, their tails are cut off, and they are sent back to the village to clean up.

The couple walked around for a long time without meeting anyone. Maybe they came at a bad time. The sun was very hot right now, and it was so hot that it seemed like it was going to start a fire. Everyone who was supposed to go to work was at work, housewives. Everyone is hiding at home to escape the heat. If something happens, no one will come out.

The two of them walked around two family areas without seeing anyone. Gao Guilan became a little anxious: "Is there no one in the city?"

“Mom, don’t worry, if we keep walking, we will eventually meet people.”

Zheng Xinyue was also anxious. Carrying a backpack and running through the streets was too obvious, and it was easy to attract inspections.

He is talking! The courtyard door beside them rang, and the two women stopped together and looked over.

　　A woman in her forties came out of the courtyard. She had short ear-length hair tied with a black headband. Her skin was a little dark yellow, and her eyebrows and corners of her eyes were raised upwards, showing her shrewdness and power.

She was wearing a gray shirt, blue fat trousers, black corduroy shoes, and was carrying a small woven rattan vegetable basket in her hand. This outfit proved that her family's conditions were not bad and her family was relatively well off.

As soon as the woman went out, she was met with two eager stares. After seeing Zheng Xinyue's face covered in black and gray, she was so frightened that she jumped back into the yard and reached out to close the door.

“Auntie, do you know how to get to Zhang Ziyi’s house? She is my aunt, and my mother and I couldn’t find her even after looking around twice.”
