Chapter 82 You're so awesome!
When the police sent a message, they also said that this was a baby bought and sold, and that if the parents wanted the child back, the police would definitely help them.
They were also hesitant. The child was not doing well now, but at least there was a shelter. However, if the relatives just wanted to visit or extort money, they would not recommend going.
If neither family cares about the child, they will contact an orphanage to take the child away. They have already thought through all the follow-up issues. This matter has not been revealed yet, and now it depends on what choice the Shen family makes.
"Of course I know that. I'm just worried that if they go over there and someone finds out, they'll get beaten up."
He heard about it when he went to the county town for a meeting.
One year, the police cracked a case of trafficking women. They managed to secretly transport the women away under the cover of darkness. When the villagers found out, they almost stopped them.
Hey, everyone's carrying hoes and farm tools. If it weren't for the large number of police officers there, they wouldn't be able to get away at all.
Two women visiting a child are not even enough to fill a gap between someone's teeth.
"Don't worry, we won't do anything reckless. We'll just take a sneaky look. Like the old lady said, if it's good for the child, we'll definitely do it without hesitation and treat him like family. If it's not good for the child, there are still police officers here, right? We'll definitely ask the police for help."
They're not stupid; they wouldn't be so foolish as to rush up and snatch a child.
After taking the note, he left the Lü family's house. Then, Lü Jianshe rushed into his father's room, also wanting to leave.
Enraged, the old man picked up his cigarettes and alcohol and started chasing after him, beating him.
He's such a troublesome child. If he weren't his only son, he would have kicked him away.
As dusk fell, smoke rose from every household's chimney. Shen Yuming had made noodles with meat sauce and two toppings, along with plain noodles.
She no longer restricts the children's food and drink at all, and even took Shen Yuzhu's advice to ask the children in the village who herd sheep for goat milk, giving them a dime each time.
The boy who herds the sheep is named Lü Shugen. He has only one grandfather. This year, the village registered them as a recipient of the "Five Guarantees" (a government-provided social welfare program for the elderly, disabled, and orphans), and they received grain rations and subsidies from the commune. The grandfather and grandson's lives have improved considerably.
Now they deliver a clay pot of goat milk every night, and I can even make money from it. I'm overjoyed.
The ewe's breasts were rubbed red every day, and when she saw Lu Shu coming, she would tremble with fear, her blushing hooves wishing she could kick him.
After finishing her meal, Shen Yuzhu explained the matter to Shen Yuming, drank some goat milk with added sugar to remove the fishy smell, and then went home.
Thinking that she couldn't take her children to the county town, she thought she would ask Wang Liping and a few others to help look after them, and they would have lunch at her sister's house, which would be considered as them providing meals.
As she approached the corner, she heard voices that sounded like Wang Liping and Xia Zhenzhen talking, and she paused.
Not wanting to get involved, he was about to go home when Xia Zhenzhen comforted him, saying, "But because of these feudal ideas, you've ruined your life!"
Um? ? ?
What are you saying?
“Xia, this is something that Feng and I have discussed. We’ve already exchanged betrothal gifts and dowries. Once we get our marriage certificate, we’ll have a big celebration for everyone in a while, and that will be considered our marriage. So please don’t say anything about not getting married now, okay?”
“Wang Zhiqing, I’m doing this for your own good. You and Feng Zhengyang have no feelings for each other, and everyone knows what really happened. You are both victims. If you rush into marriage, you will only suffer. Believe me, I don’t want to see you arguing all the time. By then, it will be too late.”
Wang Liping: "......."
What nonsense are you spouting? You don't even know the ropes. Why do you say you're doing me a favor? The most important thing you need to do right now is shut that stinking mouth of yours!
Shen Yuzhu thought she had misheard, so she pricked up her ears and leaned closer.
Xia Zhenzhen continued talking incessantly, feeling that she was doing something to save people. Marriage is sacred, not a game. It was a mistake for two people to be together in the first place, and now they were going to enter the hall of marriage because of this mistake.
She dared not imagine how dull and hopeless their future life together would be.
“Feng’s family is well-off, and he’s a man. He can have other choices in the future. But you’re different. You’re a woman, and you have younger siblings to take care of. If you continue like this after marriage, how will your in-laws respect you? Wang Zhiqing, we women must be independent and self-reliant. We must never place our hopes on men. You’re just degenerate.”
"Okay, okay, I'm a failure, I'm a burden, I'm not liked by my in-laws, is there anything else you want to say? If not, I'm going back, it's so cold."
Xia Zhenzhen felt a lump in her throat from the perfunctory attitude.
Shen Yuzhu couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
The two people speaking changed their expressions slightly as they saw her walking out from the shadows, each with their own thoughts.
Wang Liping went straight up to her and took her hand, "What are you doing here so late at night? Are you looking for me, or Wang Shu and Man Xiu?"
"Go ahead and look for them. I'm taking my sister to the county town tomorrow. I'd like to ask you to look after the kids at home. I have noodles, eggs, vegetables, and pickled vegetables in the cupboard. You can eat those when you go tomorrow."
When Wang Liping heard her say that, she nodded.
Shen Yuzhu was sensible. Since she had already said that, she couldn't refuse directly. Food rations were very important, and they certainly wouldn't eat them when they arrived. She could just bring her own food rations.
"It's nothing, I'll tell them when I get back!"
The two of them talked as if no one else was around, which made Xia Zhenzhen blush with embarrassment.
“Shen Zhiqing, since you heard it, you should still advise Wang Zhiqing not to ruin his lifelong happiness for a moment of impulse and to save face. I’m going back now.”
"Hey, wait a minute."
Xia Zhenzhen turned around and saw Shen Yuzhu staring at her inquisitively.
"Xia, are you really doing this for Liping, or are you just jealous? Feng, who used to fawn over you, is now going to marry Liping, and his conditions are so good. I remember you used to hang around Yu Xiaolin all the time."
"You can't say things like that. Feng and I are just like-minded comrades who get along well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have advised Wang to be cautious about marrying Feng. As for Yu, I just think he's very talented and we're just discussing literature. It's not as sordid as you think. Shen should be careful before he speaks."
"Be careful, my grandma has bowlegs!" The voice choked up when talking about Yu Xiaolin.
They even talk about learning literature, but they keep stuffing two eggs into people's arms every day. What kind of learning literature are they talking about?
"Wow~, you're so amazing. You can find common ground with anyone. I really envy you, Xia Zhiqing. You're absolutely fantastic."
Xia Zhenzhen: "......."
That doesn't sound like a compliment at all!
