Chapter 483: This Move Was the Right One

She let out a loud wail, "Wuu wuu... Dazhuang is very ill, he's about to die, wuu wuu..."

Fenghua was startled.

Wang Dani's crying not only brought Shen Daniu, who was sleeping in, out of the house, but also drew out all the neighbors in the village.

From ancient times to the present, the people of Huaguo have had a common trait: they sympathize with the weak.

Seeing Wang Dani crying so pitifully in front of her brother-in-law's door, they began to speak up for her one after another.

"Fenghua, your brother is seriously ill and dying. This person is Daniu's own brother, so just let your sister-in-law inside!"

"That's right, no matter what, you are all one family; even if you break the bones, the tendons are still connected."

"Let the past be the past; don't let Daniu hold a grudge against you later."

Fenghua was a sharp-tongued one; she immediately put her hands on her hips, "Pah! You lot are just standing there talking without feeling any pain. If I let this sister-in-law of mine take a sickle and cut off your men's 'assets' one by one, let's see if you'll still have the heart to meddle in other people's business?"

"And you!" Fenghua's index finger was almost poking Wang Dani's forehead, "What did I say? All you know is cry, cry, cry! If Shen Dazhuang really dies that fast, I think it's because you cursed him to death."

She grabbed Wang Dani, pulled her into the courtyard, and then bolted her own front gate from the inside.

"All of you! Just looking to watch the drama! Hurry home and watch your own drama!"

Shen Daniu looked at his weeping sister-in-law, "My brother died? When did he die?"

Although the two brothers had had their conflicts, thinking that he only had this one brother and that he had died, Shen Daniu felt very sad inside.

"Big Brother... why did you just leave like that?"

It turns out that death really can take away those things you once found hard to let go of.

For instance, Shen Daniu felt extremely guilty at this moment; why had he fought with his big brother over those three fen of land back then!

Wang Dani:...

"Your brother is about to die, he hasn't died yet."

Shen Daniu:...

Oh, so he had cried too early.

"Sister-in-law, what kind of illness does my brother have?"

Wang Dani had already thought about how to say it on the way here, "An incurable illness."

"Cancer?" Shen Daniu immediately diagnosed his brother.

Wang Dani nodded with difficulty, "Our family needs to pay for your brother's treatment, and we don't have enough money now."

Once these words were out, Shen Daniu did not hesitate, "Sister-in-law, wait here."

After saying this, he went into the house to get the money.

Fenghua did not stop him, because she knew that while siblings might fight and bicker, when it came to matters of life and death, one still had to listen to Shen Daniu.

People will all grow old, get sick, and die.

However, this Shen Dazhuang was not a good thing; dying early was a good thing anyway.

Wang Dani returned to the hospital clutching the five hundred yuan Shen Daniu had lent her, and Shen Daniu came along too.

Shen Dazhuang had no choice but to pretend to be a terminal patient for a while.

The next day, Wang Dani took the money and boarded a train to find her daughter, Shen Pandi.

This was her first time on a train, and everything she saw was very novel.

It turned out the world outside was so big; the train ride from Luo City to Jing Shi took two full days.

She had also heard people say there were many thieves on the train, so she had sewn the three hundred yuan into the inner lining of the undergarment pressed against her chest.

She only kept some small change in her pocket.

When she arrived in Jing Shi, she was completely lost and both hungry and tired.

She didn't know how that child Pandi had managed to get to Jing Shi with no money in her hands.

She had a slip of paper in her pocket with the address of the television station where she had recorded the show.

After spending five mao outside the train station to buy two oil cakes, Wang Dani started walking and asking for directions along the way.

Because she didn't know how to take the bus, she had to rely on her two legs.

It took her a whole day of walking to reach that television station.

"Auntie, what are you here for?" a helpful young girl asked her at the entrance of the television station.

Wang Dani hurriedly asked, "Do you know Shen Pandi?"

She had asked the right person; the young girl looked her over, "Are you Shen Pandi's...?"

"I'm her mother!" Wang Dani was overjoyed, "Do you know where she is?"

Huang Ge looked a bit troubled, "Auntie, I'm a staff member here. She recorded a program with us a while ago, but she isn't here right now."

Wang Dani grabbed her wrist and wouldn't let go.

"Then, young lady, I've come to Jing Shi all by myself and don't know anyone. I don't even know where I can stay tonight. You must help me find Pandi!"

Huang Ge had no choice but to bring her into the television station and then have the staff look up Shen Pandi's address.

After seeing this scene, the Vice Station Master decisively decided to have the station's reporters follow them for a live broadcast.

Shen Pandi was a spiritual singer who had become slightly popular recently; having her own mother come all the way from the countryside to find her would surely attract a lot of popularity.

Huang Ge objected, "Yang, Shen Pandi surely doesn't know her mother is here. It wouldn't be good for us to just barge in with reporters, would it?"

Besides, since this auntie named her daughter 'Pandi' (Waiting for a Younger Brother), it felt like a family that favored boys over girls.

She still remembered the first time she saw Shen Pandi: wearing ill-fitting clothes, her hair yellow and dry.

"What do you know? That's exactly how our program will have talking points."

The Vice Station Master made the decision just like that.

Wang Dani was very happy to see so many people going with her to find her daughter.

It was indeed as Dazhuang said; would Pandi dare not acknowledge her as her mother in front of so many people?

Moreover, she felt these were all good people; hearing that she hadn't eaten properly for two days, they even bought her a chicken leg to eat.

No wonder that dead girl Pan Di had to run so far away; it turns out there are rich, good people here.

She was already looking forward to the days after finding Pan Di.

Shen Pandi was eating instant noodles; although she had now earned money she once dared not imagine, compared to the people in Jing Shi, it was still a small amount.

She wanted to save up money early to buy a small house of her own, so she lived frugally every day.

The door made a sound, and she thought it was Yangyang, the older sister she lived with, who had returned.

She didn't expect that what met her eyes was a camera pointed at her, and then her own mother.

She ran toward her crying, "Pandi, why did you run away? I've searched for you so bitterly; Mom walked for a whole day, and my feet are all blistered."

At this moment, some soft-hearted people at the scene had already started to be moved to tears.

"A mother's love is truly great; how could Pandi run away from home without a word? She is really too inconsiderate."

"Selfish, that's what it is; she wants to live a good life for herself and ignores her parents. In my opinion, we shouldn't let someone like this become famous."

"I won't listen to her singing anymore from now on."

Huaiyang.

Shen Dazhuang was discharged from the hospital; he found a shop that had a television and tuned it to the entertainment news channel.

He was very excited after seeing his daughter and his old woman.

It seems this move of his really wasn't wrong.

His daughter is even on television, so she must have earned a lot of money.

If he had known, he would have had more daughters back then.

He pointed at the television and said to the shop owner, "The one in the middle is my daughter; she looks like me! Her temper is like mine too! She can accomplish great things!"

At this time, the reporter on the television had already started interviewing Shen Pandi, asking her, "Shen Pandi, your mother came all the way from your hometown to find you; how do you feel?"
