Widow Liang had lived through that era and had witnessed with her own eyes the scenes of people being dragged onto the stage for making mistakes and being cursed and spat upon by thousands of people. Thinking back on it now, she still felt a chill down her spine and her legs trembled.
The fearless demeanor he had just displayed suddenly vanished.
But she has always been the type who won't cry until she sees the coffin. She will never admit defeat until the last moment. She just thinks that this girl might be cheating her.
She snorted and pretended to be calm, "Humph, you're talking nonsense. What could possibly happen between me and your Third Uncle? Besides, we're both single. Even if we sleep in the same bed, it's not immoral. He's unmarried and she's unmarried, so we make a perfect couple."
"Oh, Auntie, I've really opened my eyes today. I never thought you could make it sound so natural to have an affair with someone. You really have a powerful tongue."
Seeing Yang Liu praising her, Widow Liang became even more proud, and her spirit, which had been weak just now, suddenly rose again.
With his head held high and his chest puffed out, he looked like a victorious rooster.
"You two, a lazy man and a widow, are like a tortoise and a mung bean. Sleeping in the same bed is not strange at all, but you two slept together without a marriage certificate, and you did it secretly in broad daylight on the back hill. This is a problem."
"To tell you the truth, I wasn't the only one who saw this. Others saw it too. If you're not afraid, let's go find someone to confront them. When things get out of hand, I'll see whether the commune leaders will believe you or us."
Seeing that Widow Liang remained unmoved, Yang Liu had no choice but to tell her the exact time and place where she had seen the two of them hanging out.
And because she was afraid that she would be stubborn and refuse to admit it, she suppressed her nausea and recalled to her bit by bit what she had heard that day while hiding behind the bushes. She even told her word for word all the shameless words the two people had said during their flirting.
Seeing that she said every word correctly, Widow Liang was immediately frightened and her face turned pale. She collapsed to the ground and said with a sad face, "Don't tell anyone. I don't want to be dragged into hard labor, and I don't want to go in and eat peanuts. Please, at worst, I won't have any contact with your third uncle anymore."
Yang Liu waved her hand and said, "I'm not interested in hearing about your mess."
Besides, it’s better for people like them to be tied together to prevent them from harming others.
"If you don't want me to make it known to everyone, then answer my questions honestly. If I find out that you are lying, I will not show any mercy. I mean what I say." Seeing Yang Liu's serious face, gritting his teeth when he spoke, and his eyebrows full of fierceness, Widow Liang nodded repeatedly in fear.
"If you ask, I will tell you everything I know." She promised repeatedly with a trembling voice.
"You said Yang Bai was sent to see his mother by his father. Is that true?"
"No, this is what Yang Lao San told me when he left. He said that if anyone comes looking for that guy, he should tell me this to buy some time."
Yang Liu's heart skipped a beat. She was now even more certain that her third uncle was a bastard. He actually set his sights on his own son and was determined to skin him alive after finding him.
"Did Yang Laosan tell you where he took the person away?"
Yang Liu was now extremely angry and called him by his full name.
This man is not worthy of her calling him Third Uncle.
Widow Liang shook her head. "He didn't tell me that. I really don't know. He just said that when the matter is done, I will get a sum of money, and then take me out to live a good life."
"But I heard him mention before that every time he went to town, he would drink with a man called Uncle De, and he said that man was his living god of wealth."
Yang Liu thought that it was good enough to get so much from Widow Liang, and she believed that she would not dare to lie to her.
She had to find the person right now and didn't want to waste time with her. After letting the person go, she hurried home.
As soon as I got home, I saw Chu Yue coming back from outside. Seeing Yang Liu rummaging through the drawers at home looking for something, he looked anxious: "What happened? Mom came to me and told me that Yang Bai was missing. She asked me to come back first and she went to look for Dad."
"Well, I guess he was deceived by that bastard Yang Laosan and sold to human traffickers." Yang Liu said this with a look of anger on his face, and he wished he could catch that man and shoot him directly.
"They left yesterday. It's been a day and a night since then. We have to hurry and find them. If they've been taken out of the city, it will be difficult to deal with them."
Seeing his wife taking out all the money from the bottom of the box, Chu Yue also knew that the situation was urgent. He hurriedly pulled her and said, "The human traffickers must be a gang. How about this, let's go to the town police station and ask Uncle Wang to see if he can find any clues through his connections."
"Well, let's go to the village and find Uncle Tao and ask him to drive the donkey cart to take us there."
"No need, I borrowed a car when I just came back."
Yang Liu didn't think much about it. She closed the door and came out. Seeing that it was the village tractor pulling feed, she was stunned for a moment and looked at Chu Yue with a questioning look on her face: "Who drives this?"
She doesn't know how to drive a tractor, and in her impression, Chu Yue doesn't seem like someone who can drive such a vehicle.
Seeing that she was standing there without moving, Chu Yue carried her directly into the car and sat in the back, saying with a smile: "Don't worry, I can drive."
She didn't know if there was something wrong with Yang Liu's senses or what, but she always felt that the car Chu Yue drove today was not only not bumpy, but also arrived in the town much faster than usual.
Because she had something on her mind, she was in no mood to ask him any trivial questions. After parking the car, they went straight to the police station.
The guard remembered Chu Yue and knew that he was an acquaintance of Wang Xiangqian. When he came over and said something, the guard immediately went in to call for help.
Wang Xiangqian was quite happy to see Chu Yue and the others coming. He patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Since you two are here today, you must come to my house for dinner before you leave."
Knowing that his wife was anxious, Chu Yue said to him directly: "Uncle Wang, we came to see you today because we need to trouble you with something."
He didn't know the specific situation, so Chu Yue asked Yang Liu to tell him.
"Uncle Wang, my cousin Yang Bai hasn't returned home since he left yesterday morning. I suspect he was tricked by his father, Yang Minqing, and sold to human traffickers. Yang Minqing's supervisor is most likely a man named Uncle De. You can follow this clue and look for him."
Seeing Uncle Wang's face full of surprise, Chu Yue hurriedly explained the situation in Yang Bai's family again.
He finally understood and nodded, saying, "We did receive a report recently that a child was missing, but the case is still under investigation."
"The Uncle De you're talking about is probably the same person we investigated earlier. He's the local boss here, and usually makes a living by collecting rent. I heard he lost everything gambling a year ago, but then he suddenly became rich again through some unknown means."
