After some polite refusals, Lu Zheng finally found out that the boy's name was Hu Zhou, who took his mother's surname. As for his father, Madam Hu shook her head and skipped the topic.
For over a decade, Madam Hu had been caring for Hu Zhou all by herself, doing odd jobs like washing clothes and assisting others, managing to get by.
Later, as Hu Zhou grew up, he began taking on labor jobs, leveraging his strong physique. However, his straightforward mindset and impulsive personality made him act instead of talking things through, which meant he couldn't keep a job for long, causing more worry for Madam Hu.
As he got older, he fell in with a group of hooligans, who flattered him and took him as one of their own. Madam Hu tried to persuade him several times, but it was to no avail. Just when she was secretly heartbroken and at a loss, Hu Zhou went through some unknown experience and suddenly became mature.
