Ah Lian repeated the same thing: "I don't know them!"

His voice was barely audible, his head was down, and he looked pitiful.

In addition, she was already quite thin and her clothes were worn out, which made her look even more pitiful.

The village chief sighed. "If you don't know them, why do they know you? How could they accurately point out the birthmark on your face? And how do you explain the fact that you look somewhat similar to them?"

Everyone looked over, wanting to know what had happened to Ah Lian.

Ah Lian kept her head down, and no one could see her expression, so no one knew what she was feeling.

She paused for a moment, then whispered, "I don't know! Maybe it's someone from another village who has seen me; it's not impossible!"

Seeing that A-Lian was still stubborn, the village chief sighed again and said, "I just talked to those people. They know everything about you from childhood to adulthood, including all the disputes and conflicts in your family. If only one person knew, they might be pretending, but they all know! Also, why would they pretend to be your relatives?"

As usual, Ah Lian lowered her head and mumbled, "I don't know!"

The village chief was speechless. How could they be so stubborn? He had just talked to those people, and they knew very well about A-Lian's situation. They could tell the whole story in great detail, and there was no way they could make it up!

Could it be a group crime, with everyone agreeing on the same lines, all wanting a girl?

In the past, it wasn't impossible for them to do so, but now they're in such dire straits that they're desperately poor. When they have nothing to eat or drink, they might even abandon their own children. Why would they want to deceive a strange girl?

If you're thinking of tricking someone into taking them to be sold for money, that's possible, but they wouldn't need to eat or drink along the way, and they could only be sold in a prosperous place!

They can't even take care of themselves, who would be foolish enough to find another person to share their stored grain?

At times like these, unless it's a close relative, nobody really wants to cause trouble; most people would choose to mind their own business and stay out of it.

However, no matter how they talked to A-Lian, she insisted that she didn't know them and denied that they were her relatives. She just refused to go with them.

The three men came over again. They saw that the people here were packing up and guessed that they were about to set off again, so they came to see what was going on.

Hearing Ah Lian deny it so vehemently and refuse to acknowledge them no matter what, he was heartbroken. He had kindly offered to take her away, but she turned her back on him!

Only then did they realize that Ah Lian wanted to stay with them and follow them!

These people look like they've stockpiled a lot of goods. They're a large group, well-organized, and quite united. They're probably doing pretty well!

It seems that this is the reason why my niece refused to go with them!

Fine, if they don't want to, then we won't force them. Let's just consider their good intentions wasted!

Ha, they really thought they could stay!

Can you fit in?

They must be from the same village or the same family. She's an outsider. Doesn't she think things through? Who wouldn't be wary of her?

Who has an obligation to support her when they are not related to her?

She was only saved once, and now that she sees that he has money and food, she wants to take advantage of him. She's so vain!

This is a case of fleeing famine; if they abandon her again, crying won't help!

Does your brain really not know what it's thinking?

People aren't all fools; they'll eventually come to their senses, and that'll be troublesome!

Once your loved ones are gone, it's not so easy to see them again!

However, no matter what these people said, Ah Lian refused to budge, and in the end, the three men gave in to her.

"This is the path you chose yourself. If you regret it later, don't blame us! We've done our best to come and get you, but you refuse to acknowledge us and won't come with us! We're leaving now. Take care of yourself!"

The three men walked away without looking back.

They have their own families too, so if they don't want to be with them, that's fine.

"I really don't know them! Don't force me to go with them! What if they're bad people? What will I do then? Aren't you putting me in danger? Why did you rescue me in the first place? Waaah!"

To everyone's surprise, Ah Lian turned the tables and made the village chief so angry that he couldn't even speak.

It makes him seem like he's someone who specializes in doing bad things!

After gritting her teeth and enduring it for a while, she calmed down and said coolly, "I don't care what your reasons are for not recognizing us, but let me tell you, we don't take in anyone. If you want to stay with us, it's unlikely. We can't even take care of ourselves. If you want to come with us, then you'll have to figure things out yourself!"

After saying that, he turned and walked to the side, telling everyone to get ready to leave.

Ah Lian has achieved her goal, and she doesn't care whether the village chief is angry or not; she's determined to stay!

Staying here won't be too bad!

It's better to pick up their leftovers than to go with your relatives!

Those uncles' families were so poor, it's hard to describe. They must have been so worried about food and drink that their hair was falling out. She didn't want to join in the fun!

If she goes with them, she might just be able to break up their family!

Here, she doesn't have to do anything, doesn't have to carry anything, can even ride in the car for a while, and can even eat some meat. Isn't that great? Would she be stupid enough not to stay?

No one paid any attention to her and set off with their families.

Su Nanxi was even less inclined to pay attention. If they wanted to follow, then so be it.

casual!

The road is so wide, and it's not like they opened it; there's no reason why they shouldn't let people use it!

She didn't even think about helping A-Lian find any more family members. What if they did find them and then said they didn't know them?

What can we do to them?

Pretend to have amnesia and refuse to recognize them. They don't recognize them either. What else can you do?

Why not just stop looking? Even if we find it, the same thing will happen. Wouldn't it be better to save our energy by not looking?

The village chief, unsure of Su Nanxi's intentions, came over to ask if they should continue searching.

Su Nanxi said calmly, "I'm not looking anymore. We won't find her family or relatives anyway! If they don't acknowledge her, then it's not her!"

The village chief understood instantly and shook his head.

It's better if he doesn't look for her; it saves him trouble!

Su Nanxi handed him a piece of fruit, "Have some fruit to calm your temper!"

The village chief accepted it, secretly pleased, and said thank you, but stared at it for a while without eating it.

I'm so reluctant to part with it!

This fruit is rare; once it's eaten, it's gone!

He should accept it first!

In his excitement, he stopped paying attention to Ah Lian's affairs.

Everyone has their own struggles, why meddle so much!

Just when they had given up hope, a family member claiming to be A-Lian showed up!

As they were walking, someone stopped them and asked if there was a person named A-Lian in their group.

Everyone was a little confused when they heard this. What was going on?

"I'm her mother! Where is she? We had no choice but to abandon her and run away! It was such a critical moment, she fainted, and we had so many people with us. We had no other option! Let her out so I can see her!"

The woman, who claimed to be A-Lian's mother, cried out.

Are you here to take her back?
