Xu Daming now understood. This Secretary Wan was too wicked. He wanted to send him to jail. How big of an injustice and hatred must he have committed? Was it necessary to harm him like this?

We must not let him succeed.

Xu Daming suddenly felt a surge of strength and broke free from Secretary Wan's grip. He loudly defended himself, "Uncle police, it's unfair! I didn't sell those girls. Selling and giving away are different. I gave them away. There were those who couldn't have children, and there were those who had several sons and wanted a daughter. I gave them the children. I was just learning from Lei Feng and doing good deeds. You can't just convict people without investigating thoroughly!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the scene immediately became a little chaotic.

Secretary Wan was very annoyed: Good words cannot persuade a damned ghost, good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Brother Xu, I have tried my best, but your eldest son is just adamant.

The two female police officers had already put the two little girls on the ground and were about to use the camera to capture the touching scene of the father and daughter reuniting and hugging each other and crying. After hearing what Xu Daming said, the two of them immediately hugged the two children in their arms again and took a few steps back.

Officer Jiang's expression turned serious. He pulled out the handcuffs from his waist and handcuffed Xu Daming's hands. "Xu Daming, you're suspected of two child abandonment cases. Come with us."

A group of people came happily and left with great gains.

Although the comrades from the TV station did not shoot the expected footage, they witnessed the birth of a criminal with their own eyes. It was a case within the case they are currently reporting. It was a pleasant surprise. It was great. They had the material for the next two episodes.

After watching them leave, Secretary Wan immediately called Xu Ermin, his tone filled with guilt: "Ermin, I did my best. Your brother has been arrested by the police."

Xu Ermin comforted the old branch secretary for a long time, and then called the old branch secretary and asked him to call his sister-in-law Liu Xiaocui in two days to tell her that Xu Daming had been arrested by the Public Security Bureau.

Secretary Wan hesitated to speak: Why don’t you fight yourself?

Xu Ermin: "Oh, by the way, uncle, for the sake of the children, please don't tell her that I asked you to notify her for now."

Toolman Wan Zhishu: ...

Liu Xiaocui received a call from the village secretary Wan, saying that her son Damin had been arrested. She thought she had encountered some kind of scam and did not take it seriously. She shouted to Secretary Wan on the other end of the phone: "Your husband was arrested, not your whole family." After that, she hung up the phone with a bang.

The landlord was unhappy: "Hey, hey, hey, be gentle. If you break something, you have to pay for it. You get 50 cents for answering the phone."

Just as he finished speaking, two policemen came in at the gate and said they were looking for Xu Daming's family member, Ms. Liu Xiaocui.

The landlord didn't even bother to ask for the fifty cents and pointed: "She is it."

The police showed a cooperative investigation notice and took Liu Xiaocui away in the police car.

Liu Xiaocui usually likes to watch programs about family matters such as "Rule of Law in Progress" and "Today's Statement". She has more legal knowledge than Xu Daming and knows that giving birth to a child but not raising it is illegal in itself, not to mention that they gave the two children away.

She just kept crying, saying that there were two children at home and she couldn't be without an adult. Also, if the two girls wanted to come back, it was okay, but the prerequisite was that the police had to release her husband first. She couldn't raise four children by herself.

The police told him that Xu Daming had confessed that abandoning the children was a conspiracy between him and his wife, and asked Liu Xiaocui to honestly explain the crime. As for the four children, the civil affairs department would temporarily take care of them, so she could rest assured.

Don’t worry, Liu Xiaocui cursed Xu Daming: "He is not a human being, he is not a human being! A coward, irresponsible." She cursed in an ups and downs, and only stopped after being scolded by the police several times.

In the end, Xu Daming and Liu Xiaocui were sentenced to five years in prison for abandonment.

Regarding the issue of whether the four children should stay or go, when the civil affairs department had not yet given specific measures, Ling Shuang and Xu Xiaomin went to the public security bureau with two banners. Then, with the assistance of the public security comrades, they went through the relevant procedures and took the four children away from the welfare home of the civil affairs agency.

The two girls who were given away were Yindi, twelve years old, and Wuni, ten years old. Both were thin and small, looking several years younger than their actual age. Moreover, they both missed the nine-year compulsory education.

Xu Xiaomin and his colleagues learned from the police that Yindi not only brought a younger brother to her adoptive parents' home, but also several younger sisters. She was just a little maid in that family. Although she was not beaten, she had endless work to do every day. She had to take care of several children by herself and was severely malnourished.

The younger Wu Ni was even more miserable. Her adoptive parents had several sons. Not only did Wu Ni have to work hard, but she was also often bullied by her brothers. People in the village said that she was the child bride of the family. When her brothers were young, they all wanted her to be their wife. When she grew up, they all disliked her and bullied and teased her every day. Especially when she was ridiculed outside for having a child bride, they would beat her when they came back, which scared the child to death.

After Ling Shuang brought her back, she rarely spoke. She reacted okay to the approach of her two older sisters, but if the three sons of Xu Xiaomin's family came close to talk to her, she would often shiver.

Compared to her, the naughty boy Xu Fufu's daily misbehavior is nothing, because he is quickly and ruthlessly suppressed by his brothers.

Ling Shuang took Wu Ni to receive psychological interventions several times, and there was some improvement. She was no longer so afraid at home. However, after only one day at school, she wet her pants and refused to go again.

She didn't want to go, and her second sister Yindi didn't want to go either. She felt that she was too old. The first graders were all little kids. They kept staring at her, whispering and pointing at her.

Yindi felt that it was okay not to go to school. She also said that she knew how to raise pigs. She was responsible for taking care of two pigs at her adoptive parents' home. She asked Lingshuang to build a pigpen for her and buy a few pigs. She said she could support herself.

It is definitely not an option to not go to school. If you cannot fit in at school for the time being, then just make up for it at home. The child is not stupid or evil. After completing the primary school curriculum in two years, he will have no problem going directly to junior high school.

So the tutor and siblings all stepped in. The process was a bit difficult, but at least the children successfully graduated from elementary school two years later and went to junior high school.

Three years later, Xu Daming and Liu Xiaocui were released from prison. Xu Daming was lucky. When he was arrested, he still had 4,000 yuan in his pocket from selling grain, but he had spent most of it in prison over the past few years.

Liu Xiaocui is in a miserable situation. She used to be plump five years ago, but now she is as thin as a stick. The skirt she wore when she was arrested was returned to her after she was released from prison. Now when she wears it, it sways on her like a big sack.
