A few days later, the two children's actions let the important criminal escape, and both families were taken away and sent to work on farms in Yunnan and Guizhou. The reputation of the Third Brigade plummeted.
The two related families also faced difficulties, and there were problems finding marriageable children.
"Wife, four girls were left in the village to work. They earned work points and the village chief exchanged them all for grain and sent them to the Yunnan-Guizhou farm." Lu Shiyi saw that Su Jin had been worried about the four girls after hearing that the two families were taken away, so he asked someone to inquire about them.
"You won't leave any food at all?" Su Jin looked at Lu Shiyi in astonishment. "The oldest of the four girls is only 12 years old. She'll be getting married in a few years. Besides, you won't leave any food at all. You're pushing them into a desperate situation."
Lu Shiyi nodded. The villagers didn't want to have anything to do with them anymore. Except for the third team leader, the rest of the villagers wanted the four children to leave the village. Some even wanted the team leader to issue them a letter of introduction.
"Ayi, the four girls looked so hopeless that day. If they were forced by their families again, they might end up on a path of no return." Su Jin was not soft-hearted, he just didn't want the lives of the girls to disappear before his eyes.
She wanted to do more good things for her children, and those girls just didn't meet good families.
"Team Leader Three and Wu said the villagers were against them staying in the village, so they had no choice but to issue a letter of introduction and send them to the Yunnan-Guizhou farm," Lu Shiyi explained. "They hoped Wu could help send them there, but he refused, saying he wouldn't interfere."
After packing his luggage, he leaned close to her ear and whispered, "Military Wu has told the four girls that when they leave the village for the county town, they will secretly have someone send them to southern Guangdong. There are many people there who can't have children."
Su Jin felt relieved. Wu Jun wanted to help the four girls, but he didn't want to be dragged into the affairs of those two families again.
"Everything has been arranged so no one can take advantage of it." Su Jin thought about the rampant human traffickers and hoped the four girls would be safe. "Can they bear not to contact their families?"
"If Peng Hui hadn't sent people away in advance, the four girls would have been sent away by the two families to be child brides." Lu Shiyi sneered, "The four of them would have been sold into the mountains by their families."
Even if the four girls were grateful, they would not contact their family again.
"Ayi, are these four people reliable?" Su Jin was worried that they might get in touch with those two families. "Why not find them jobs?"
After Su Jin told Lu Shiyi about her concerns, he pondered for a long time. The three of them had the same concern and just wanted to think about it for two days.
"Wife, Wu Bu and Lao Lin think so too. After all, the four of them have been suppressed for many years. Who knows if they will habitually contact their families." The three of them have seen many similar things and also have this worry.
"Ayi, if you are worried about it, just look for a job." Su Jin spread his hands and suggested that Lu Shiyi give it more thought.
Lu Shiyi held the luggage bag in his right hand and walked out of the ward holding Su Jin's hand with his left hand.
"I saw that you were worried about the four of them, so I told you where they were going." Lu Shiyi said with a smile, "Captain Three doesn't want to get involved in their affairs."
Lu Shiyi looked at Su Jin tenderly. The young nurses were watching them from a distance. They hoped that their future married life would be as happy as theirs.
Su Jin walked slowly in the corridor. The old people had just returned from the fields. Seeing Su Jin returning home, some of them glared at Lu Shiyi.
They complained that Lu Shiyi had just returned and took Su Jin out of the clinic. She was about to give birth, so how could he torture her like this?
"Grandpa Ping, I wanted to come out. I thought my home was close to the clinic and Ayi was not around, so I was worried that I wouldn't be able to walk there by myself at night, so I stayed in the ward." Su Jin explained with a smile.
Ping Lao snorted coldly: "You are not at home. Xiao Jin is a good person. She helps you take care of the family. You can't let Xiao Jin down."
Lu Shiyi had a very good reputation in the courtyard at that time. Many girls wanted to get close to him, but he always had a stern face that said "keep away from strangers", which scared the girls.
"Grandpa Ping, I definitely won't do that. You can rest assured." Lu Shiyi was secretly happy that the elders were willing to protect Su Jin, and his heart was finally at ease. "I'll take Xiao Jin home first. She'll have enough time to walk around."
"Go back quickly. If you have good news, please tell us old people." Grandpa Ping instructed Lu Shiyi.
There is not much good news on the farm, and Lu Shiyi is a child who grew up under their care, so it would be nice to make Old Lu happy first.
"Okay!" Lu Shiyi and Su Jin felt the blessings and expectations of the elders, "I will tell you the first time. You have the news earlier than grandpa."
Old Ping watched the two of them leave happily. When they returned home, Lu Shiyi put everything in its original place, got up and prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.
"Ayi, let's eat hotpot." Su Jin has been craving hotpot recently. He is away on a mission, and Su Jin is always worried and can't sleep, so she has no extra time to satisfy her appetite.
Now that Lu Shiyi is back, she wants to eat even more.
"Wife, please bring out some more meat. We haven't had a good meal outside lately." Lu Shiyi whispered, "The smell of barbecue is a bit strong. It won't be good if it gets out."
Su Jin pouted slightly and started taking out the hot pot and ingredients from the space.
The two of them turned on the air conditioner, and the room became colder. Lu Shiyi sighed that the air conditioner was cooler than the electric fan in the office.
"Wife, you can't eat spicy soup base, change it to tomato." Lu Shiyi looked at the shuangyuan hotpot. The exception was usually the spicy soup base, so he asked her to change it immediately.
Su Jin stared at him aggrievedly: "I've been craving spicy food lately. People say sour food makes a boy, spicy food makes a girl. I guess the baby will be a girl."
Lu Shiyi laughed out loud: "If it's a girl, she will definitely be favored at home. Most of the three generations in my family are sons. Even my brothers have many sons."
"I was scared by those two families. I was worried that you would be unhappy if I had a daughter." Su Jin heard that the team members preferred daughters. No matter what they did in public, they spoke softly to their daughters in private, for fear that speaking loudly would scare her.
Lu Shiyi reached out and pinched her cheek: "No, grandpa and grandma both like girls. The boys in the family have to train with the team members after they turn 6."
Su Jin placed the hot pot ingredients on the table. Charcoal was burning in the copper pot, which usually contained mushroom soup base, while the other side contained tomato soup base.
"Eat more beef and less mutton." Lu Shiyi put the beef into the tomato soup base and cooked it. "Eat more vegetables."
"Eat more mutton." Su Jin smiled, "There's still plenty."
The two of them ate hot pot slowly, and Lu Shiyi asked Su Jin about the results of her recent prenatal checkup.
Su Jin told Lu Shiyi everything that she wanted him to participate in the child's growth.
"Wife, thank you for your hard work!" Lu Shiyi picked up some food for Su Jin and looked at her with gratitude.
