Do you know Xu Weiguo?
Huang Qinqin noticed that Xu Fang's expression changed when she mentioned Xu Weiguo's name. At this point, she was about 70-80% sure that the person in front of her was her second aunt.
"I don't know him!"
Xu Fang immediately denied it, and the tense expression on her face was replaced by hatred.
Xu Hongxia thought it was impossible because she really looked a lot like her grandmother! But now she was saying she didn't know her father, which confused her.
Huang Qinqin felt there must be some misunderstanding. Back then, it was Xu Weimin who encouraged Grandma Xu to sell her second aunt. Xu Weiguo was still in the army at the time and was completely unaware of it. However, she felt that Xu Fang hated Xu Weiguo.
Xu Fang first tried to break free from Xu Hongxia, but Xu Hongxia, who grew up in the city, was no match for Xu Fang's strength and was easily freed. Xu Fang hadn't struggled earlier because she felt she was in the wrong. But now things were different.
Seeing that Xu Fang was about to leave, Huang Qinqin didn't care about anything else and blurted out what had happened.
“You’re my second aunt, right? When Dad came back from the army, Grandma and my third uncle told him that you had eloped with someone. Dad looked for you for a long time, but he couldn’t find you.”
Xu Fang screamed in despair, "Looking for me?! How could he possibly be looking for me? He's the one who had Mom and Dad sell me!"
Even now, when she thinks back to what happened back then, she still feels emotionally devastated. She always thought that her eldest brother was the one who loved her the most in the family, but Grandma Xu told her that it was Xu Weiguo who wrote back, asking the family to sell her.
Because he needed money to make ends meet while in the army, but he didn't have enough, he asked Grandma Xu to sell her so he could get some money.
When Xu Fang heard this, she felt like the sky had fallen. She repeatedly confirmed with her grandparents and Xu Weimin, but their answers remained the same.
She asked to see Zhang Yumei, but was refused. Xu Weimin said that Zhang Yumei did not want to see her because she knew that the money from selling her was what Xu Weiguo wanted, and she felt ashamed and had no face to see her.
That night, Xu Fang knelt on the ground and begged them for a long time, pleading with them not to sell her. She said she would work hard to earn money so she could find someone to marry as soon as possible and get a dowry, but it was no use.
Xu Weimin said that if she had to blame someone, it was her older brother, because he was the one who wanted to sell her. They could only listen to Xu Weiguo.
If she hadn't been lucky enough to be rescued, it's hard to say whether she would still be alive today.
How could Xu Fang not hate this!
Sure enough, there was a misunderstanding!
Xu Fang actually thought that Xu Weiguo was the one who suggested selling her, no wonder she looked full of hatred when she heard Xu Weiguo's name.
Huang Qinqin quickly explained, "Second Aunt, listen to me, it wasn't Dad who sold you. It was all Uncle's idea. If you don't believe me, we can confront him face to face. Dad has missed you all these years."
Xu Fang looked at Huang Qinqin without saying anything, but she didn't seem to be leaving anytime soon.
Huang Qinqin pressed on, saying, "It's true, Second Aunt. Dad and Third Uncle are both in the city now. Although our two families have severed ties, we don't live far apart. We can go and ask them today."
"Severing ties?!"
Xu Fang found it unbelievable that her eldest brother and third brother had severed ties.
"Yes, yes! Second Aunt, will you come with us to find Dad? Believe me, we really didn't lie to you."
Xu Hongxia also assured, "It really is you, Second Aunt. Although I've never met you, I can vouch for you. Dad would absolutely never have suggested selling you!"
Xu Fang was actually starting to waver, but she was worried that she wouldn't make it back to the village in time, so she said to them, "Next time. If I don't go back now, I won't be able to get home before dark. We don't have oxcarts where we live; we can only walk back."
"It's alright. Come with us to see Dad. I'll have Junhui take you home by bicycle. Bicycles are much faster. Second Aunt, where do you live now?"
"I now live in Chenjia Village, the sixth brigade of Hongqi Commune."
Huang Qinqin knew where it was; several of her classmates were from Hongqi Commune. It might take more than two hours to walk there, but only about an hour by bike.
Seeing that Xu Fang did not object, Huang Qinqin and Xu Hongxia did not delay any longer and immediately set off to the Public Security Bureau to find Xu Weiguo.
Huang Jiancai had already bought the things and was waiting at the door. When he saw them come out, he took Dundun from them.
Huang Qinqin originally intended to help Dundun onto the oxcart, but she suddenly ran into Xu Fang and had to leave first.
Before leaving, I made a promise to Dundun: "Dundun, can you give your little auntie a kiss? Your little auntie will come back to play with Dundun next month."
"Mmm! Dun Dun is waiting for Auntie at home. Auntie, remember to come back and see Dun Dun, okay? Kisses~"
After saying that, she pouted her little lips and gave Huang Qinqin a big kiss on the cheek.
Huang Qinqin also kissed Dundun, then waved goodbye to Dundun.
......
"Hello, is Xu Weiguo here?"
Huang Qinqin and her colleagues arrived at the Public Security Bureau, but did not see Xu Weiguo, so they had to ask other police officers.
"Deputy Director Xu is in his office. Do you need to see him?"
"Could you please go in and tell him that Huang Qinqin has something important to discuss with him and ask him to come out for a moment? Thank you."
"Okay, please have a seat first."
When Huang Qinqin came to report the case last time, it was Xu Weiguo who received them. She thought Xu Weiguo also worked outside, but she didn't expect that he had a dedicated office.
Xu Weiguo was quite surprised to hear that Huang Qinqin had come to see him, but he figured it must be something urgent, otherwise she wouldn't have come to the police station to find him.
After carefully putting away the important documents in his hand, Xu Weiguo walked out of the hall.
He originally wanted to ask what he wanted, but when he saw Xu Fang, he knew why Huang Qinqin had suddenly come over.
When Xu Fang saw Xu Weiguo's eyes instantly redden, she felt like crying too, but she still wanted to find out what exactly happened back then.
Seeing that Xu Fang wanted to ask directly here, Huang Qinqin interrupted her, saying, "Dad, is it convenient for you to go out now? Let's find a quiet place to talk."
"It's convenient, let's talk at home."
At this point, Xu Fang also realized that regardless of whether it was Xu Weiguo's idea or not, discussing human trafficking in the police station was still inappropriate.
Gratefully glancing at Huang Qinqin, the group walked together toward the Xu family's house.
Along the way, Xu Weiguo wanted to ask something, but many times the words were on the tip of his tongue, and he didn't know how to say them.
When Zhang Yumei saw that Xu Weiguo had actually come home, she glanced at the sky and asked curiously, "Why are you back at this hour? Don't you have to go to work this afternoon?"
Xu Weiguo didn't return, but said to her, "Go and see who's here."
Zhang Yumei found him acting mysteriously, glanced behind him, and exclaimed with ecstatic joy, "Xiao Fang!"
