Chapter 1296: Chapter 1296: I’m Going to Find Mom
Li Hao was carrying her backpack.
Inside were her school assignments.
In her hand, she held a piggy bank.
There was quite a bit of money inside.
She had stuffed several years’ worth of New Year’s money in it.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was in the room, she snuck out of the hotel quietly.
Looking at the unfamiliar city, Li Hao actually felt very scared inside.
This was her first time traveling far by herself.
But thinking of her sister and brother, she made up her mind.
She was going to find her mom.
Her sister was impatient to take care of her, her brother disliked her, not to mention her father, who only treated that Aunt Feng well. It seemed like only she and her mom were the most pitiable in the world.
She was always reprimanded by her brother and sister, being told she couldn’t be close to her mom.
But now she had made up her mind; mom was so pitiful, and she was pitiful too.
Then she would be better off finding mom.
She didn’t want to be with those people anymore.
Holding the piggy bank, she waved her hand.
Yesterday, when they went to attend a wedding with mom, she saw mom waving her hand like this.
Sure enough, not long after, a black car stopped in front of her, and the driver rolled down the window.
Li Hao clumsily opened the car door; she’d often sat in her dad’s car and knew how to open the car door.
Her small figure clambered into the backseat and closed the door.
“Hello, uncle, take me to the train station.”
Such a polite child.
The driver looked at the hotel and then at the child.
“Why are you alone, little friend, where are your parents?”
This child wasn’t running away from home, right?
But looking at the hotel in front, he thought this probably wasn’t a runaway.
“Uncle, my mom is at the train station. I just sneaked to get my doll and ended up missing her. Just now, mom called the hotel uncle to find me, and he said he’d take me to the train station to meet mom. He’s gone in to get something.”
“I thought I shouldn’t trouble uncle to send me, otherwise he’d have to come back after sending me.”
Such an understanding child.
The driver hesitated and thought it over, then saw Li Hao waving at the man in hotel uniform who had come out of the hotel’s entrance.
That man smiled and waved back.
The driver was relieved.
It looked like she was telling the truth.
“Alright, little girl, sit tight and uncle will take you to the train station to meet mom.”
Seeing this little girl being so well-behaved and quiet.
The driver, who had three sons at home, particularly wanted a daughter.
He couldn’t help but like this little girl.
The car drove steadily.
There wasn’t much traffic along the way, and they arrived at the train station smoothly.
“Uncle, how much?”
Li Hao held the piggy bank, wanting to smash it to give money to the driver.
The driver smiled, “You’ve saved in that little pig for a long time, haven’t you?”
“Yes, a long time.”
Li Hao looked at the piggy bank with pain, it was something mom bought her.
“Don’t smash it, uncle will do a good deed and won’t charge you.”
“Thank you, uncle, you’re really a good person.”
Li Hao immediately smiled, her eyebrows curving.
After getting off the car, she was about to close the door.
“Are you sure you can manage on your own? Uncle can take you inside to find mom. Otherwise, the station is too chaotic.” The driver wasn’t at ease, not seeing the little girl’s family, fearful that she might encounter trouble.
Li Hao waved her hand.
“Look, my mom is right there at the station entrance, wearing a trench coat.”
Li Hao knew very well there was no mom, she was aware that if the driver actually took her, it might expose her lie.
By then, she might be sent back to find dad.
The driver saw the woman standing at the entrance walking towards them with an expression of joy, seeming like a biological mom.
Coincidentally, a guest got into the car.
He waved and drove away.
Li Hao let out a sigh of relief, holding the piggy bank as she squeezed into the station.
At the entrance, a crowd huddled together going inside, with staff checking tickets at the door, Li Hao swiftly followed behind a middle-aged woman and slipped inside.
Children her age didn’t need tickets.
No one really noticed her.
On the train, she quietly hid in the restroom.
She waited until the train started.
Then Li Hao came out.
Now she will surely get to see mom.
The people saw a little girl at first but didn’t pay much attention, but this little girl was standing with a backpack in the aisle alone, without seeing any adult with her.
Finally, someone noticed something was amiss.
“Little girl, where are your parents?”
She’s been on the train for a while, but no adults were seen.
“I’m going to find mom.”
Li Hao spoke confidently; as long as she was on the train home, she wasn’t afraid.
“Are you by yourself?”
A kind-hearted old lady asked, handing Li Hao a piece of bread and a bottle of water.
“Thank you, grandma, I am by myself.”
“Whose irresponsible adult is this, how could they let such a tiny child ride the train alone? What if she gets into trouble or is abducted by child traffickers?”
“Yes, it’s really irresponsible.”
“No, grandma, my dad doesn’t let me see mom, but I miss her, so I came secretly.”
Li Hao hurriedly explained; she didn’t want her mom to get scolded.
“You can tell this child’s parents must be getting a divorce, alas, it’s the children who suffer.”
The old lady let Li Hao sit next to her, while others nearby made room.
Such a small little girl could squeeze in and sit.
Everyone felt sympathy for this little girl.
Li Hao gently tore open the bread, ate it, and drank the water.
The elderly lady had already summoned a passing attendant.
“This child is not accompanied by adults; you must look after her, or else if she encounters traffickers on the way, who knows where she could be sold?” The old lady, who was about to get off the train herself, was particularly worried about what might happen to this child on the way.
Upon hearing, the attendant was startled, seeing such a young child alone on the train.
Soon, the conductor and attendant took Li Hao to their work cabin.
They arranged for Li Hao to rest there.
And they asked Li Hao her home address and name, and whether she knew her parents’ names.
Fortunately, Li Hao was already six years old.
Although she didn’t know the home address, she could clearly state her mom’s name and Liu Hong’s phone number.
That was enough for the attendant to contact Liu Hong.
The attendants were very fond of this little girl.
Not only was Li Hao pretty, but she was also well-behaved, not causing any trouble.
She stayed in the cabin, seriously doing her homework.
The attendant frequently brought her delicious treats and drinks.
The journey was smooth and easy.
People chatted and discussed.
This little girl was too pitiable; her parents divorced, yet she still wanted to see her mom and had no way of doing so.
She even had to sneak onto the train alone to meet mom.
It was just like a real-life remake of “Mama Love Me Again.”
At the station, Li Hao was taken to the station police office, where the police contacted her family to pick her up.
