531 Asking About Him

Su Xiaolu nodded.

An Cheng smiled. "He has an old mother at home. Her health is very poor and she might die at any time. There's also a younger sister who has a heart disease. She can't do any work and can't get married. She might collapse and die at any time. An Lie is quite tough. That's the situation in his family."

"Is his father dead?"

Su Xiaolu asked. An Lie's condition was not good.

"Yes, he died when he went out to sea. This kind of thing happens all the time by the sea. Some people might be fine when they set off to sea, but there might be nothing left when they come back. Just like me. Who knows what will happen when one goes out to sea?"

An Cheng's tone was a little sad.

He looked at Su Xiaolu and said seriously, "Young Master, you seem to be from a rich family and have some good martial arts, but it's different at sea. Some things are useless at sea. With your family background, it's not impossible for you to afford the white fish. Listen to my advice and go back early. I've already said what I need to say. If you want to go back on your word, you can snatch the money back. If you don't, I'm leaving. After eating and drinking, I should go back to my lousy house to sleep."

Su Xiaolu moved aside and said, "I have another question. Is your hearing natural?"

An Cheng smiled, his expression intermediately smug. "Yes, I was born with it. My ears are the best in the entire Qinghai county. I can hear the situation of the fish within a hundred kilometers."

Speaking of this, An Cheng's eyes were filled with pride.

Su Xiaolu smiled and said, "Then you're really impressive."

Such hearing was really amazing. At sea, it could avoid more than half of the dangers.

"Hehe, it's useless now anyway."

An Cheng laughed self-deprecatingly and walked away with his walking stick.

Su Xiaolu looked at him and turned to go home.

An Cheng had good hearing and was vigilant against Su Xiaolu. However, after walking for a long time and not hearing anyone following him, he believed that Su Xiaolu had really left.

His eyes darkened as he headed in a certain direction.

Su Xiaolu was a little unlucky. She asked him about An Lie. He was An Lie's uncle, An Cheng. He did not know what Su Xiaolu wanted to know. He only told her what the public knew.

In that case, no matter where Su Xiaolu continued to ask, it matched what he said.

An Cheng knocked on a door.

An Lie opened the door and was pleasantly surprised. "Uncle, have you eaten? Come in quickly."

An Cheng went into the house. The house was dim. Due to the changes in the family, he couldn't even bear to light the oil lamp. At night, only the fire cooking the pot of soup was lit. It barely served as a light to prevent people from sneaking around in the dark.

"Little Cheng is here, cough cough... Little Ou, go get your uncle's bowl and chopsticks."

A woman spoke weakly. There was a snoring sound in her throat, and she had been holding back her cough.

"Little Cheng, move back here. Cough..."

The woman looked at An Cheng and said softly.

"Don't worry about me. I'm living quite well outside. I've earned some money. Sister-in-law, keep it well. Find some time to get some medicine for Little Ou and yourself."
