"Wow, it's a four-wheeled vehicle!"
Ye Xiaocui was extremely surprised, and Fu Wan was also somewhat surprised. It seemed that Bai Qianzhou was highly regarded by the military, as this jeep was not a vehicle that just anyone could ride in.
Not to mention they even came all the way to pick people up.
The driver was a young man in military uniform, who seemed a little confused when he saw several people standing there.
"Hello comrade, I am Bai Qianzhou."
Bai Qianzhou stepped forward to dispel the young man's doubts, "This is my... relative. They ran into some trouble and there are no cars available now that it's so late. Could you please give them a ride?"
I will explain the situation to my supervisor when I get back.
"Hello Comrade Bai, I am Yu Yang from the company. I came here specifically to pick you up after receiving orders. I can take these comrades home; serving the people is the motto of our unit!"
After speaking, Yu Yang gave a standard military salute.
Bai Qianzhou quickly returned the salute. Although he had not received any training, he still performed the salute quite well.
Boss Fu also saluted in a very proper manner.
"Young comrade, thank you for your trouble."
Although the county is some distance from Fujia Village, the jeep only took less than twenty minutes to reach the door of Old Master Fu's house.
Hearing the commotion outside, Fu Ming had already opened the door and run out to check.
Seeing Fu Wan carrying Fu Ling as she got out of the car, his heart finally settled down.
Yu Yang was in a hurry to return to his unit to regain his sight, and Ye Xiaocui didn't even have time to offer him a bowl of sweet soup before the jeep sped away.
Fortunately, Boss Fu was clever and quickly stuffed the dried fish that had been drying in the yard into the car. By the time Yang and his companion realized they had arrived at their encampment, they had already reached their destination.
"Dad, why did you bring a jeep back? The person sitting in the car just now, what do I think is Xiaobai?"
Fu Mingzhen had a lot of questions. Today, he was responsible for escorting Fu Sanlaizi to the village chief and did not go to the county with his own family.
I feel like I've missed out on so many things.
He wanted to know how Lingling was found, how Bai Qianzhou appeared, and where the jeep came from.
"Stop making a fuss. Is there anything to eat? I'm so tired and hungry right now. Eat first and then go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow!"
There was definitely food. Fu Ming had learned a lot about cooking from Ye Xiaocui during his free time recently. Since no one in his family had come back, he prepared cornbread and a few side dishes early in the morning and waited at home.
At this point, they weren't picky about anything. They quickly ate a couple of bites, washed up, and went back to their rooms.
Ye Xiaocui lay in bed, her mind preoccupied with the help Bai Qianzhou had given her that day.
"Honey, what do you think of Xiaobai?"
Fu was really sleepy and had just started to drift off when his wife woke him up.
"What do you mean, 'how is it'? It's great!"
He rolled over, looking somewhat annoyed.
"Then do you think he's a good match for our A-Wan?"
Fu Laoda opened his eyes and said, "Although Awan is good, she still has a child. Dr. Bai is handsome, from a good family, and has such a good job. He might not even be interested in Awan."
"Ah Wan is fine as she is now. If she wants to find someone, we'll listen to her. If she doesn't want to find someone anymore, we'll just have to take care of her. It was because we weren't assertive enough before that she was bullied by the Shen family."
Yu Xiaocui fell silent, only letting out a long sigh.
That's right, the most important thing is that my own daughter is happy.
Fu Wan had no idea that her parents were discussing her life's most important event. Fu Ling was clearly frightened today, waking up every now and then to cry.
It left her completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.
Fortunately, Fu Ling seemed to sense that Fu Wan was nearby, and after an hour of fussing, the mother and daughter finally fell into a deep sleep.
...
The next morning, Village Chief Fu knocked on the gate of Old Master Fu's house.
Seeing Fu Ling standing unharmed in the courtyard, the old man breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good, good, it's good that you're back."
He patted Fu Ling's head, then said to Fu Wan, "San Laizi colluded with people from other villages to kidnap children from our village for a hundred yuan. I will definitely talk to the police about this."
Fu Wan then realized that Fu Sanlaizi had gotten together with Shen Guoliang for money.
“Village Chief, I won’t let this matter of Sanlaizi and Shen Guoliang go easily. I’ll have to go to the police station to talk to them later.”
Fu Ling has been found. What if she hadn't? Would he have to spend his whole life searching for his daughter, just like in his previous life?
Thinking of the small mound of earth where the spirit was buried in her past life, Fu Wan's eyes suddenly turned fierce.
Village Chief Fu understood Fu Wan's feelings. He also had children and granddaughters of his own. If someone were to abduct his child, he would risk his life to fight them to the death.
"That leper's wife, Wang something..."
"Wang Panlan, how is Sister-in-law Wang?"
Village Chief Fu couldn't quite remember her name, but Fu Wan did.
She remembered Wang Panlan's kindness and had originally planned to buy some things to visit her later.
Village Chief Fu sighed again, "She's a pitiful person too. Fu Sanlaizi told outsiders that she was pregnant and ran to her house to take all the money that Dalaizi had left behind."
The man was also beaten black and blue by Sanlaizi; that Sanlaizi was a beast!
Village Chief Fu spat out a rare "Pah!" Fu Ming and Boss Fu also frowned, regretting that they hadn't punched him a few more times yesterday.
"Village Chief, how much does it cost to see a doctor at Sister Wang's? If my Lingling is found in time after this incident, I'll have to thank her."
Fu Ling spoke with sincerity, and naturally, Old Master Fu did not object.
Village Chief Fu nodded, then remembered something else.
"Oh, right, that leader Zhao called again last time, asking you to go back later. Remember that."
After saying this, Village Chief Fu waved his hand and turned to leave. He had been the village chief for almost his entire life, but recent events had left him feeling somewhat powerless.
When Fu Wan and Boss Fu heard that Zhao Gang was calling, they exchanged a glance.
Fu Wan wasn't sure what was going on, so the father and daughter took Fu Ling towards the village committee.
Fu Ling now follows Fu Wan around every step of the way, and has lost interest in playing with other children.
When I arrived at the village committee, I made a phone call, and someone answered quickly.
After exchanging a few words with Zhao Gang on the other end of the line, Boss Fu handed the phone to Fu Wan.
"It's for you."
Fu Wan, puzzled, took the phone and said, "Hello."
Zhao Gang laughed on the other end of the phone, "Comrade Fu Wan, long time no see! I heard your daughter has been found. I knew it, good people are always blessed."
Fu Wan smiled and said, "Then we must thank the leader for helping us contact the police yesterday. Come visit our village another day, and I'll catch a fish for you to try."
Zhao Gang was unwilling to take credit, but remembering the yellow croaker Fu Wan had given him last time, he insisted on accepting it.
"That's easy to say. I called to ask you, now that the Fisheries Administration Bureau can make decisions, would you like to consider working for me?"
Fu Wan refused without even thinking, "No, boss. I still prefer working at sea, where I feel free and unrestrained."
Although Zhao Gang felt it was a pity, he didn't insist. "If my work at sea requires anything, you can't refuse."
"Of course, if there's anything I can help you with, as long as it's not illegal, I can make it easy for you."
Just when you're feeling sleepy, Fu Wan immediately whispered, "Then I'll ask the leader to put in a good word for me with the police station."
Our family will not accept any compensation; we only want all those involved in trafficking my daughter to be severely punished!
