Chapter 384: Chapter 384 Good People Get Good Rewards

The old Yu Family had been through a long night, and by dawn, there was still no news from Yu Jingting.

Bobo, who usually doesn’t cry, stopped taking his milk, not sure if it was because his sister had disappeared or because the taste of Suizi’s milk had changed after her fever.

Lying down listlessly on the bed, he didn’t cry, but his chubby face lost its usual brightness.

Suizi didn’t know whether her heartache was reflecting on her son making him look sad, or if this child was just mature beyond his years and he was genuinely distressed.

The joy had been sucked out of a home that had lost its child.

Life was ordinarily simple, it should have been time for breakfast now.

The family would be bustling at the dining table, bickering and joking. Then the ones who worked would go to work, while the ones who studied would go to school.

Wang Cuihua would wait for her two grandsons to take their morning nap before preparing the eggs and batter.

She was industrious. By the time the children woke up, she would already have the egg burgers ready to sell.

At lunchtime, Suizi and Yu Jingting would come back to feed the children, and then Wang Cuihua would go out and set up her stall to earn some money.

Her egg burger business had gotten on track lately, and there were many regular customers every day.

Although the original intention of setting up the stall was to earn some money for some home furniture, since Yu Shuisheng had thrown a few thousand dollars into the house on his last visit, and Suizi had a regular salary, they were not worried about their livelihood.

There was really no need for Wang Cuihua to set up a stall, but she enjoyed the feeling it gave her.

Earning money and being able to chat with the customers, she believed that people couldn’t always be cooped up at home, or they would go mad.

This hardworking woman influenced the siblings, Yu Jingting and Jiaojiao, with her optimistic attitude.

However, at this moment, Wang Cuihua, who had never been beaten by any hardship, looked defeated.

No matter how Suizi tried to comfort her, she felt it was her fault for losing her granddaughter and was shouldering a heavy burden on her heart.

As she looked at the egg burger cart in the courtyard, images of past days when her granddaughter was still around flashed in her mind.

These days, Yu Jingting had been fishing every day instead of going to work properly. When he was free, he would take his two children to the market to see their grandmother. When Wang Cuihua was busy, she would look at her two grandsons and feel energized.

With memories of the past vivid in her mind, Wang Cuihua’s eyes reddened again.

She didn’t understand why despite everyone in the family being so hardworking, they ended up with this outcome.

Watching her mother-in-law, who looked heartbroken standing there, Suizi knew she must have missed her granddaughter. A sour feeling enveloped her heart and she swallowed back her tears, trying to put on a happy front.

Yu Jingting had been out all night, probably still looking for the child. Suizi prepared the house and borrowed a bicycle, ready to go to the Newspaper Agency to post an ad.

She rode her bicycle swiftly towards the Newspaper Agency, as she passed by the market where her mother-in-law usually set up her stall, she instinctively slowed down.

Looking in the direction of her mother-in-law’s stall.

Despite knowing it was not feasible, she still clung onto a shred of hope.

Hoping to see Yu Jingting standing there holding her daughter at the usual spot where her mother-in-law often set up her stall.

Yu Jingting could hold one child in each hand. Sometimes when he was playful, he would get the children to bump their heads against each other to see who was stronger.

But the two little ones usually did not cooperate with his mischief.

Suizi once thought that Yu Jingting considered the two kids to be his toys, constantly trying to come up with new ways to play with them and frequently posing them in various weird positions for pictures.

As the two kids began to turn over and move more, it became increasingly difficult for him to set them up in poses.

The joyous memories of once a family had not faded in her mind, but as she looked up, everything was desolate, and her precious daughter was gone...

The cruel reality hit Suizi hard, causing her heart to constrict painfully.

Out of the blue, she heard someone calling ’Auntie’ from behind her.

Suizi heard it; it was the voice of a child, a stranger.

She assumed they were calling someone else, so she increased her cycling speed and headed towards the Newspaper Agency.

Just as Suizi was about to enter the Newspaper Agency, the strap of her leather shoe snapped, her shoe coming off her foot.

Suizi bent down to adjust the strap, delaying her a bit.

Just as she was about to stand up, a dirty little hand landed on her shoulder, startling Suizi.

Turning around, Suizi saw a child standing behind her, completely filthy. There were several streaks on his face from sweat, and he was panting hard as if he had just been doing some heavy physical exercise.

"Auntie, I, I caught up with you." The little boy, who looked about the same age as Jiaojiao, said in a soft voice.

"Ah? At the market just now, you were calling me?" Suizi finally reacted.

It took half an hour to cycle from the market to the Newspaper Agency. This child had been running after her bicycle!

No wonder he looked so exhausted; it was pitiful.

Suizi was in a hurry to place the ad for her missing daughter and didn’t have time to take care of the little boy. She simply patted his head and said:

"Wait outside for a while, Auntie will talk to you after I finish my work."

She had no idea why this child was looking for her, and she didn’t remember knowing him.

Every second mattered to her now, she didn’t have time to think about these things. Leaving the little boy behind, she headed towards the door.

Having run the whole way, the little boy was sweating heavily and panting for breath, on the brink of collapse. Seeing that Suizi was about to leave, he mustered all his strength and grabbed hold of her arm.

"Auntie, I know your little sister is missing."

Those words hit Suizi like a thunderbolt, exploding in her heart.

Suizi quickly grabbed his shoulder, asking urgently.

"How do you know that? Do I know you?!"

The little boy nodded.

"You’ve given me an egg burger before, and so has grandma..."

Only then did Suizi remember.

He was the poor little boy she and Wang Cuihua had given the last egg burger to on their first day of setting up the stall.

They had given it to him because he had been looking longingly at the stall, and his gaze made them feel sorry for him.

Later, Wang Cuihua would intentionally and unintentionally look for this child whenever she was out at the stall. After not being able to find him a few times, she simply forgot about him.

It wasn’t until the day before yesterday when Yu Jingting, carrying both children, came to see Wang Cuihua that the boy appeared again. He stood at a distance watching them but didn’t come closer.

Wang Cuihua asked Yu Jingting to go and give him two egg burgers, and Yu Jingting went over with Little Luoluo in his arms.

Usually, Yu Jingting liked to fool around, often bullying whoever displeased him, regardless of their age or gender. This usually resulted in some teasing, but this little boy reminded him of his own childhood.

Yu Jingting didn’t bully him, even taking a few pieces of candy that he carried for Suizi when her blood sugar was low, and gave it to him.

Such a simple act of kindness, resulting in such a great return.

"I recognise your little sister, I’ve never seen such a pretty and cheerful kid before, she dresses differently from others too."

Suizi almost burst into tears, anxiously waiting for the boy to continue.

"Yesterday, I was cooking medicine for my grandma under the bridge when I saw a few men carrying your little sister and putting her in a wash basin before throwing her into the water."

"Ah!" Suizi almost passed out.

How could such a little child, put in a basin and thrown into the water, left to drift wherever the water took her, survive?

"I remember your little sister. After those people left, I used a hook to pull the basin back."

"Then, my daughter?"

"Is under the bridge, my grandma is watching her."
