Chapter 344 It Will Get Better
Little Wolf has seen a lot of things like this.
Every child who knows that he or she has been sold or abducted longs for the day when their biological parents will come to pick them up and rescue them.
But among all the children that Little Wolf knew, almost none of them could realize their wishes.
Most of them were tortured into disability after being abducted. In those years, the streets were full of disabled children begging for food and money.
Their father would rent a large cart and take them to crowded busy streets, markets, or temple fairs.
Put one down at a certain distance and arrange a healthy boy to watch over it.
Because they have been to many places, there will really be a chance for them to meet their biological parents.
But basically, when the biological parents see their lost children turned into terrible monsters, they will cruelly choose to abandon them again.
The reason why the little wolf was not disabled was because he was too young when he was abducted and he didn't remember his home or his parents at all.
Those children who were responsible for looking after them were almost all adopted by their fathers when they were too young to remember, so there was no need to worry that they would run away and find a home.
Their father taught them how to steal, and at the same time they watched over their disabled brothers and sisters who remembered home but had no ability to go back.
It was not until later that the little wolf realized that those people had already seen through people's hearts.
Looking up at Zhao Qishui again, the little wolf felt a little sad.
Although he is not disabled, he is now a prisoner and will not be released for another ten years.
He is also a burden to his biological parents, and the little wolf doesn't believe that they will take care of him.
He simply does not believe that there is any family affection in this world, and that family affection can only be maintained with benefits and interests.
Just like the father who adopted them, whoever brings back more money is his good son.
Going back empty-handed would be a punishment worse than death.
What does it matter if they are related or not? I can't bring any benefits to Zhao Qishui, and I will make him lose face.
Perhaps Zhao Qishui will figure this out soon, and by then he will also understand that it is better to pretend that he has already died.
"Have you done an appraisal?" asked the little wolf.
Zhao Qishui nodded repeatedly: "I have done it, there is no mistake, you are my son Zhao Yan."
"Identification is sometimes not accurate. Look, I don't even look like you."
Hearing Zhao Yan say this, Zhao Qishui felt very sad: "Child, you have suffered a lot in these years, right?"
Looking at his son's skinny body, which was even worse than when he first met He Shu, Zhao Qishui felt a pain in his heart.
He couldn't help but reach out to pull the little wolf's hand, but the little wolf refused to cooperate.
Zhao Qishui reluctantly withdrew his hand: "Child, your brother Xiaoshu told me everything about you."
"Dad knows you've suffered a lot. You broke the law, but you didn't meet a good person to teach you what to do."
"Dad understands you. No matter how many years it takes you to get out of prison, Dad will wait for you."
At this point, Zhao Qishui shed tears again: "Child, it's really great that you are still alive."
The little wolf bit his lip and said nothing. He didn't want to be influenced by Zhao Qishui.
Soon the visiting time was up, and the little wolf stood up indifferently and prepared to leave.
Zhao Qishui stood up and shouted, "Son, next time I can visit you, I'll come to see you again. If you want to eat anything, I'll buy it for you."
The little wolf shook his head and still didn't answer, nor did he turn around to look at him. He knocked on the door and reported, then was taken back to the cell.
Zhao Qishui looked at the exit with disappointment. He could feel Zhao Yan's resistance to him.
But he could also understand it. After all, it took him so many years to find him, so it was normal for the child to have complaints about him.
Besides, they just met each other after so many years, so it is normal for them to feel unfamiliar with each other.
Qi Zhijun had been waiting outside and did not go in to disturb the Zhao father and son.
Seeing Zhao Qishui walking out in a daze, he asked with concern: "What's wrong? Did you have an unpleasant chat?"
Zhao Qishui shook his head and sighed: "I feel like my son doesn't really want to accept me. He still has some complaints about me. Brother, when can we meet again?"
Qi Zhijun replied: “You can apply for a meeting every month.”
"That's good. I'll come here every month from now on."
When Zhao Qishui heard that they could meet every month, his confidence was rekindled. He believed that time could slowly narrow the distance between them as father and son.
After returning to the hospital, Zhao Qishui told He Shu about Xiaolang's attitude.
He Shu felt that Xiaolang was acting like this because he had some emotional problems, because before in prison, Xiaolang was actually very lively.
"Godfather, don't be anxious. After all, it's been so many years. It's impossible for him to accept it all at once."
Zhao Qishui sighed and said, "I understand."
"When I get better, I will accompany you to visit my brother, and then we can find a way to reduce my brother's sentence."
Hearing He Shu's words, Zhao Qishui became spirited: "He still has so many years left, is there any way?"
"Yes, for example..." He Shu wanted to say that Xiaolang also made meritorious contributions in this incident in Dadu, but he remembered that there were some things he could not tell his godfather.
So he changed the subject and said, "For example, if he behaves well in prison, he will have a chance. If he can learn some skills or invent something, his sentence will be reduced."
"Oh, I didn't ask him what he knew."
Zhao Qishui was very happy to hear this. As long as there was a way, it would be fine. At least there was a direction to work towards.
"I will visit him every month from now on. Even if he cannot get his sentence reduced, I will insist on waiting until he is released."
Thinking that he would become an old man in a dozen years, Zhao Qishui began to worry about Zhao Yan's future.
When Zhao Yan is released, he will be in his thirties. After spending so many years in prison, he will definitely be out of touch with society.
I still need to earn more money to provide a living security for my children.
However, this idea did not make Zhao Qishui feel that Zhao Yan was a burden, but instead made Zhao Qishui more motivated for his future life.
In the past, I saw the older brothers and sisters in car dealerships still looking for work when they reached retirement age to save money for their sons to buy houses and get married.
Now he has such a goal. The most frightening thing in life is to have no goal.
Thinking of this, Zhao Qishui raised his eyes and found He Shu looking at him quietly, and he began to feel sorry for He Shu again.
"Don't think too much about it for now. Godfather will stay with you until your injury is healed. Be careful in everything you do in the future. If anything happens to you..."
"Let's not talk about me. How can your grandfather, uncle, and aunt bear it?"
Zhao Qishui sighed as he spoke: "You are such a miserable child."
He Shu shook his head and smiled, "Godfather, I'm not miserable. I was alone before, but now I have my grandpa and his family who love me, and you, and my brother in the future. Isn't my life getting better and better?"
He Shu's understanding made Zhao Qishui smile. He touched He Shu's head and said, "Yes, we will get better and better in the future."
