Chapter 73 (2/2)
Sitting up from the pile of debris, a woman, looking very haggard, nodded her head at Li Nuo, ”sorry, sir, I scared you.”
”Marfa, go and open the door.” Said the woman to a girl named marfa.
”No more.” Lino crawled in through the cracks in the cloth.
MafA began to scream again: ”Mom, you see, he doesn't go through the door, there must be something wrong!”
Are you a girl Jack! Li Nuo stood in the room with a belly.
The woman in the face of her daughter's noisy helpless to Li Nuo smile: ”sorry, sir, let you laugh.”
”That's all right, ma'am. I'm here for Tom. There's something wrong, but don't worry. I'm not here for trouble.”
”Molly lane.” The woman introduced and then said, ”I'm the mother of Tom and MafA. I don't know what's the matter with you and Tom, sir. But through words and your kind face, I don't believe you've come to trouble us.”
Li Nuo lowered his head slightly. ”Thank you for believing, Mrs. lane.”
From the moment he entered the house, he kept observing everything here.
It's messy, it's full of mosquitoes, it smells of mold, it's a standard house for the poor.
There are only three bowls on the cupboard. There is no male owner in this family. They belong to a mother with two children. They are even poorer.
But Mrs. Lane's appearance is somewhat different. She looks haggard and seems to be speaking with her full strength. But in this state, she still maintains the etiquette that is rarely seen in the South Street. She is not like a person growing up in such a place.
Tom's family must have something to do with living here. Now this branch line must have something to do with what happened behind his family.
Then Mrs. Lane said to her daughter, ”marfa, pour some water for this gentleman.”
MafA listened to his mother's words very much. Although she looked suspicious, she still picked up the cleanest cup, filled it with water with a pot full of cracks and handed it to Li Nuo.
”Sir... Your water...”
”Thank you.” Li Nuo took the cup, but saw that the water level in the pot behind MafA was almost to the end.
So he put the cup on the table and didn't drink.
There was a knock at the door.
”MafA, I'm back!”
It's Tom's voice.
Ma FA looked at Li Nuo and his mother. After seeing her mother nodding, she opened the door.
Tom walked into the room with a cheerful look and two bags of water in his hand.
”I've come back with water...” He saw Li Nuo waiting here.
Mrs. Lane saw Tom's surprise and said, ”Tom, this gentleman has something to do with you.”
”How can you...” Tom swallowed, put his water bag on the table and said to Li Nuo, ”Sir, let's go outside and talk.”
After going out with Tom, he saw that the boy's face was as ugly as a basin of traditional Chinese medicine, ”Sir, did you follow me yesterday?”
Li Nuo smiles and shakes his head. ”No.”
”Then how do you know my home?”
Li Nuo shrugged. ”Just ask.”
Tom said angrily: ”although you have saved me, I have also done what you asked for. We should be clear. I warn you, it doesn't matter how I am. Don't do anything to my mother and sister, otherwise...”
Li Nuo looked at Tom indifferently. Although he didn't do a good job, he attached great importance to his family and had a clear organization and a lot of brain activity.
This age can have such a way of thinking, should belong to congenital conditions and acquired education, more convinced that Tom's family should not be residents here.
Looking at Tom's face, he couldn't say the second half of the sentence for a long time. Li Nuo squatted down slowly and asked with a smile, ”what else would you do?”
Tom's face swelled like a ball, and his mouth kept saying, ”otherwise... Otherwise...”
At this time, Li Nuo suddenly laughed, rubbed Tom's head and said, ”don't worry, I have no malice.”
Tom was dull and asked, ”well... Why do you still come to me?”
”Tell me everything that happened in your family if you want your mother and sister to live better,” he said
