Chapter 71 The baby cub was kidnapped!

Wen Qingqian had never been treated like this before. She pushed him away and said, "I said I don't want it, and that's final. There's no such thing as forced buying or selling. If you keep pulling me, I'll call the police!"

"Hmph! Go ahead and shout, calling the police won't do you any good. If you ask about the price of my candied hawthorns, you have to buy them. That's the rule!"

The owner of the candied hawthorn stall glared at her and blocked her way.

The crowd on the street suddenly increased. Although many people came to watch the excitement, others hurriedly walked through the crowd into the street.

Although Yuan Hui disliked the boss's practice of raising prices arbitrarily, he was more curious about whether his sister really wanted candied hawthorns.

No matter how expensive the item, I will buy it for her as long as she likes it.

So he turned to look at his little sister, Zhizhi, and asked, "Would you like some candied hawthorn?"

The cub shook her head; her favorite thing to do used to be to go to the street and buy a string of candied hawthorns.

This time, however, I couldn't eat anymore.

"Brother, Zhizhi can buy expensive ones, but she absolutely cannot buy overpriced ones. No matter how much she likes candied hawthorns, she will never waste money. We absolutely cannot suffer a loss!"

Her little face was puffed up with anger, and she was determined to stand on the same side as Aunt Wen.

Yuan Hui nodded, indicating that he understood.

He immediately walked up to his mother, stared fearlessly at the vendor, and said, "Go ask around and see who sells candied hawthorns for two yuan a skewer, or two skewers for five yuan. Setting up a stall here is against the rules. If you cause any more trouble, we'll make a big scene and see who comes out on top when the police arrive!"

The five-year-old child was already speaking in a clear and logical manner.

The boss's arrogance froze instantly. His eyes darted around the children, and finally, he exhaled a foul stench from his nose.

"You think you're afraid of me? What's so special about two women with a few brats? Let me tell you, if you don't pay up today, none of you are leaving!"

As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed Yuan Hui's sleeve, about to arrest him without saying a word.

"Xiao Hui!"

Wen Qingqian was furious. She rolled up her sleeves and rushed forward to snatch the child.

The man selling candied hawthorns seized the opportunity and, in the midst of the shoving, smashed his entire rack of candied hawthorns on the ground.

He yelled at the top of his lungs, "Fellow villagers, look! City people are bullying me! They smashed up my stall! They're really taking advantage of their power!"

The bright red candied hawthorns fell to the ground, covered in a layer of dirt.

Many other small vendors gathered around and started criticizing the situation.

"So what if you're from the city? You think you're so great just because you get government-subsidized food rations? You're bullying honest people here!"

"Pay up! Look how stylishly this woman is dressed, she must be rich. Make sure she pays up and doesn't leave!"

"Tsk, why ask if you can't afford it? If you ask, you should buy it, otherwise it's a waste of your time!"

They all look like they're in cahoots.

Cuiping hurriedly ran to call the police.

Jiang Zhizhi glared angrily, her eyes wide, and rushed forward to help.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the crowd. A rough, gasoline-smelling hand suddenly covered the cub's mouth from behind and forcefully dragged her out of the crowd.

Everyone was watching the spectacle, and no one noticed what was happening here.

"Zhizhi!"

Jiang Gansu, holding Zhenwei's hand, turned around to look for his sister, only to find that she was nowhere to be seen.

He searched frantically, looking left and right, and almost cried.

"Zhizhi is missing!"

He ignored Zhenwei and pushed through the crowd to leave. Gan Su was thin and quickly noticed the eye-catching purple skirt in the distance among the group of adults.

"—Let go of my sister!"

Jiang Zhizhi resisted desperately, but a three-and-a-half-year-old child was no match for the strength of an adult man.

Just as she was about to be taken to the dilapidated van parked on the street, she vaguely heard her older brother's anxious shouts.

"Zhizhi!"

... ...

"...Zhizhi, Zhizhi!"

"Little sister, wake up!"

A series of soft, continuous calls followed.

The cub opened her eyes groggily, and all she could see was the dusty roof of the van. She then realized that she had been abandoned in the back of the van.

Feeling the pain from the tight rope binding her hands, she hissed softly.

it hurts!

Where is she being taken?

Are these people human traffickers?

The little cub suddenly remembered that before it lost consciousness, it seemed to have seen its older brother chasing after it.

She hurriedly followed the sound and looked to her side, only to find Gan Su bound hand and foot and thrown into a corner.

Zhizhi was about to speak anxiously, but Gan Su shook her head to stop her, "Shh..."

He gave her a look, signaling her to look ahead.

Zhizhi looked at the uncle driving the car and found that he looked fierce and had only one eye.

But the next second, she discovered that the person in the passenger seat was none other than Sang Lao Er!

Sang Lao Er didn't notice that the child in the back had already woken up and was still smoking and chatting with the driver.

"Brother Lai, thanks to you and the brothers this time. Don't worry, we brought an extra boy with us. He'll definitely fetch a high price later. We'll split the profits 50/50. I won't treat you unfairly!"

The guy called Brother Lai was the one-eyed one. He had a cigarette dangling from his mouth and a menacing smile. "I think she's just a worthless girl. Why would she sell for such a high price? She'd be better off selling her to some remote mountain village. I think the boy is probably worth more."

A hint of disdain flashed in Sang Lao Er's eyes, but since they still had to cooperate, he could only patiently explain.

"You wouldn't believe it, although it's a daughter, her mother is from a wealthy family. Even if we ask for five thousand, they might be able to afford it!"

He went to the military dependents' home to take his child away, but he was beaten up instead.

At that time, I didn't have a penny to my name and almost couldn't stay in the city. That's when I met Brother Lai. Brother Lai, who was one-eyed, was a human trafficking gang.

They took me away with the intention of selling my blood at an underground clinic.

If I hadn't had the quick thinking to tell them that I had a very rich daughter and that I could kidnap her and extort a large sum of money, I would have been in real trouble.

It's not that no one sells blood in Sangjiapo; a grown man weighing 150 pounds went there and came back skin and bones.

Every day, I drink yellow wine and dozens of large bowls of water, and my blood is constantly being drawn.

He can't handle that kind of torment.

He still needs money to see a doctor, and later he needs to get married and have children.

Brother Lai was still a little suspicious, but thinking back to when he brought that girl over, she was dressed beautifully and stylishly, and she certainly didn't seem like someone who was short of money.

So he didn't say anything for the time being.

"Hey? How come you know so much about this kind of thing?" Brother Lai looked at Sang Lao Er with his one good eye, his tone teasing. "You used to be a human trafficker too?"

"Even if I haven't eaten pork, I've still seen pigs run, right? That's how all the wives in our village are born."

Sang Lao Er took a deep drag on his cigarette, exhaling wisps of choking white smoke as he stared at the bumpy road ahead.

After a long while, he finally grinned, revealing a mouthful of broken, yellow teeth.

"Her mother was abducted, and I beat her into submission. If she hadn't died after giving birth to a girl, would I have had to go through all this trouble? But it doesn't matter anymore. After I sell her for money, I'll marry a clean and good woman!"
