Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

Seeing this, Wei Wu raised his hand and touched his head soothingly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

In fact, he also guessed the child's origin. If nothing unexpected happened, he must have been abducted by Japanese pirates.

After all, it is a foreign country. Looking at his current appearance, you can tell that he has probably suffered a lot here.

There was just one thing Wei Wu couldn't understand. The Japanese pirates led by Utsunomiya Han were not good people. Calling them beasts was a compliment.

To these beasts, apart from money and women, everything else is waste. How could they bring a child back to the Japanese pirates?

Wei Wu wanted to ask directly, but he didn't feel comfortable doing so, so he changed the subject.

"What's your name?"

"My previous name was Chen Xi, but later my mother changed it to Fu Qiu."

After Fu Qiu said his name, Wei Wu fell silent on the spot.

Originally surnamed Chen, but now it's Fu. Who would change their surname as well as their given name? And the name Fu Qiu...

In China, parents usually give their children names with some expectations about what kind of person they hope their children will become in the future.

Even a name like Goudan was chosen because it is a humble name that makes it easier to raise a child, and it is also a kind of expectation of parents for their children.

As for the name given by Fu Qiu's mother, anyone who has studied for two years will understand what it means.

So after hearing Fu Qiu's answer, Wei Wu couldn't help but sigh again.

However, when Wei Wu heard Fu Qiu mention his mother, he subconsciously glanced at the group of Japanese pirates, and then asked:

"Your mother was also arrested? She..."

Originally Wei Wu wanted to ask where Fu Qiu's mother was, but he had to stop halfway through his words.

Because there is no need to ask this question at all. If his mother was still there, then there should have been two people rushing out just now.

Fu Qiu was a very smart kid. Although Wei Wu didn't finish his words, he still understood what Wei Wu wanted to ask.

Although there was inevitably sadness in his tone, he did not avoid the question and gave his answer directly.

"They told me that my mother had passed away. They said she died of exhaustion."

"Exhausted to death? That's what they told you. Do you believe such nonsense?"

After hearing Fu Qiu's answer, Wei Wu's expression was so gloomy that it seemed like water was about to drip out. Is this what a human being said?

However, what Wei Wu didn't know was that this was just the beginning, and Fu Qiu's next answer was the key.

"Uncle, what they said is true. I believe that mother was really exhausted to death because she was very tired every day."

"We have to go out to work before dawn and come back after dark. Then they will call us out to work again at night."

"I always come home very late, and then I can only sleep for two hours before getting up to work, so I am really exhausted."

After Fu Qiu finished speaking, Wei Wu hesitated for a long time before asking in a hoarse voice.

"Fu Qiu, do you know where your mother went last night?"

Fu Qiu shook his head.

"My mom wouldn't let me ask, and she wouldn't tell me, but every night she came home dirty and had a strange smell."

"After I came back, my mother would take a long, long shower, rubbing her body until it was all red. Only when she didn't have that smell would she hold me to sleep."

"I don't want my mother to work so hard and be so tired, but she said that only if she goes out to work at night can I grow up well."

After hearing Fu Qiu's words, Wei Wu, Shen Lin, Zhang Hai, and the eleven members of the Wuchang Squad all clenched their fists.

The children didn’t understand, but they, the adults, knew very well what this woman was going through!

A woman is called out by a group of men to work at night. What kind of work can she do?

Not to mention that this is the place of Japanese pirates. What these dogs, who are worse than beasts, do in the Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with humans.

In your own territory, without having to worry about being hunted by the government, it is unimaginable what you can do.
