35-year-old Jiang Li was unmarried and childless, running her own small company with an annual income of several million, living a wonderful life.
19-year-old Jiang Li was pretty but brainles...
Everyone in the village was tied up, and Li Zhengwen quickly discovered something was wrong after entering the village.
Jiang Li calmed herself down, stood up and walked towards the village entrance.
We must take the initiative in the current situation, otherwise it will definitely cause disaster over time.
Jiang Li already had an idea in her mind. She walked forward with her head down, not even stopping when she passed by Li Zhengwen.
Li Zhengwen suddenly called out to her, "You don't seem to be from our village, right?"
The village is only this big, with only dozens of households in total, and the people in the village know each other.
Whether someone in the village has a child or gets married, these old acquaintances know it clearly.
Li Zhengwen couldn't help but ask because he saw that Jiang Li looked unfamiliar.
Jiang Li smiled and said, "I just got married into the village a few days ago. I haven't seen you before. Are you from our village?"
Li Zhengwen squinted his eyes and looked at her. Jiang Li kept her head down, so Li Zhengwen couldn't see her face clearly.
"Look up and let me see. I want to know which young man in our village is so lucky to marry a young and beautiful girl like you."
Jiang Li raised her head obediently. The moment Li Zhengwen saw her, he thought she was very stunning, and her appearance seemed somewhat familiar.
He seemed to have seen her somewhere, but he had no impression of her.
Jiang Li smiled brightly at him, and while Li Zhengwen was stunned, she quickly raised her hand and crushed a chili powder packet in her palm.
These special chili powders are ground very finely and are very spicy and pungent.
The moment Jiang Li crushed the chili powder, Li Zhengwen was sprayed all over his head and face because he was too close.
He was coughing violently and sneezing continuously. It was not until then that Li Zhengwen realized that something was wrong.
He wanted to open his eyes to see the person in front of him clearly, but he found that his eyes were stinging and he couldn't open them no matter what.
Li Zhengwen screamed in pain, and Jiang Li picked up a hoe and hit him hard on the back.
Li Zhengwen knelt down immediately due to the pain on his back, and Jiang Li hit him hard several times with the hoe stick.
Li Zhengwen was knocked to the ground before he could react at all.
Jiang Li was tired of beating him, and Li Zhengwen had completely lost the strength to resist. Jiang Li then untied the hemp rope around his waist and tied him up neatly.
Zhang Yufen, who was standing aside, was completely dumbfounded when she saw the smooth movements of the young girl in front of her.
It took Zhang Yufen a while to react. She raised her head and stared at Jiang Li again and again. The little girl in front of her looked very much like her daughter Jiang Li in both figure and appearance.
But Jiang Li has always been timid and never dared to be violent towards others. Why does this little girl have such courage?
Zhang Yufen wanted to recognize him but was hesitant to do so until Jiang Li had dealt with Li Zhengwen.
She raised her head and shouted crisply, "Mom! I finally found you!"
Zhang Yufen listened to her daughter's familiar voice and heard her calling "Mom" in person, which confirmed that she had found the right person.
She was so excited that tears filled her eyes and even her voice was trembling.
"You are, you are Xiao Li?"
"Yes, Mom, I'm Jiang Li. How long have we been apart? Can't you even recognize your own daughter?"
Although he had no feelings for this woman, Jiang Li couldn't help but tear up.
After all, it would be unacceptable not to shed a few tears for such a big event as the reunion of mother and daughter.
Although the woman in front of him was thin, she had a kind face and gave him an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
It was because of this sense of intimacy that Jiang Li was willing to call her.
Zhang Yufen rushed forward and held Jiang Li's hand. With tears in her eyes, she stared at her carefully again and again.
"Mom! It's so hard to find you!"
Jiang Li shouted again, and the tears in Zhang Yufen's eyes immediately fell.
Jiang Li hugged Zhang Yufen's arm affectionately, shaking it gently and acting coquettishly as before.
Zhang Yufen looked at her daughter's familiar little movements, and her heart suddenly softened.
She originally thought that she would spend her whole life in this remote mountain village, but she didn't expect that her weak daughter would come to her in person.
But the people here are tough, and considering the situation in the village, how can her daughter appear in front of her in such a high-profile manner?
Zhang Yufen had many doubts in her heart, and Jiang Li took her hand and led her to a room aside.
"Mom, the men in this village are all human traffickers. There are few good ones. Don't worry about their lives."
"It's been so hard for us mother and daughter to meet, so we must catch up on the past. Mom is sweating profusely and looks so thin. She must have been through a lot recently, right?"
Jiang Li gave his original seat to Zhang Yufen and went into the house to get a stool to sit on.
"Mom isn't tired, but Xiao Li has been very busy lately, right? She has to take care of her younger siblings and her own children. Has my nephew been born yet?"
Zhang Yufen held Jiang Li's hand again and kept looking at her.
"Mom, I'm doing fine now. The baby is born, and my younger brother and sister are doing well too. Everyone misses you and wants you to come home soon."
Jiang Li overcame all the hardships and sufferings he had endured with just one sentence: "I'm fine."
"Okay, okay, I'm relieved to know that you are all doing well."
Jiang Li asked some more details about what happened after his mother was taken away.
It was consistent with what she had learned, but seeing how thin her mother was and the many wounds on her body, it was obvious that she had not had a good time during this period.
Everyone has their own unspeakable pain. As an adult, Jiang Li would not take the initiative to ask, nor would he pick on her pain and rub salt into her wounds.
Jiang Li carefully considered his words every time he asked questions and asked about many situations cautiously.
These situations didn't need to be asked, but if she wanted to convict Li Zhengwen later, she needed to start from these aspects.
Jiang Li also explained the pros and cons to his mother, and his mother expressed her understanding.
"When your father was around, life at home was just average. Later, we all left. Given the situation at home, your brother Jiang Yi probably didn't go to school, right? He's 15 years old now, a grown-up boy, and it's time for him to go out and work."
"Your sister should have been helping with farm work, right? She's also been helping you take care of the kids lately, right? With their help, the family should be able to make ends meet."
"It's all my fault for insisting on going to the quarry to look for your father. First you lost your father, then your mother. And now you're pregnant at such a young age, and you have to bear so much."
"I'm sorry, I did something wrong. I'll definitely listen to your advice in the future. I know I'm incapable, and I'll never do anything on my own again!"
