Chapter 161: Sisters’ Side In the small courtyard, there were only two sisters...
Yang Shuming didn't expect that a trip to Hulu Commune would lead to five human trafficking cases. After returning, he quickly asked Xiao Sun to bring people to take over.
All three children were taken back to the city police station. Of the remaining two women, one had a family member who lived nearby and had already rushed over. Only Feng Yingjie had some problems contacting his family.
The militia of Hulu Commune was worried that it was not safe to leave the people there. After all, the Ye family was powerful and might come back to cause trouble and take the people back. What should they do?
So they sent a tractor to take Feng Yingjie to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
In recent years, there have been many people from other places who have come here by train, so there are special temporary resettlement points for those waiting to be repatriated.
There was no better place for the three children, one adult and three children, to go, so they were sent to the resettlement site together.
There is food and drinks available, but the accommodation is a bit crowded and small. There is nothing we can do, so we have to make do with it for one night.
Yao Zhizhi and Qi Changxiao sent Yang Shuming home, and then took Ye Sheng to San Tiao Hutong.
Yao Zhizhi was a little worried and asked, "Are you scared living here alone? How about I go get your second sister to stay with you for the night?"
"Okay." Ye Sheng was determined to go all out today. After all, he had done something extremely outrageous, and he felt a little uneasy.
If her parents come looking for her, I really don’t know how this will end.
But it was still hard for her to watch the boy leave his parents and recognize two unrelated men and women as his parents.
Besides, what if the boy was abducted?
What if his biological parents are looking for him everywhere?
The most important thing in life is to be true to your conscience.
No matter how uneasy she felt, she had already taken this step. She could only muster up her courage and move forward.
Yao Zhizhi hurried to the president's house.
Who would have thought that Zhou Juan's chattering actually played a positive role at this time, otherwise she really wouldn't know where to find Ye Zheng after get off work.
When Ye Zheng heard that her sister was coming, she didn't ask any questions and quickly followed Yao Zhizhi to San Tiao Hutong.
After closing the gate, Yao Zhizhi didn't say anything. It would be more appropriate for Ye Sheng to say it himself.
After hearing the whole story, Ye Zheng couldn't help but cover her mouth. She looked at Yao Zhizhi, and then at her sister who was obviously timid but very brave, and was stunned.
The shock brought by this incident was no less than an earth-shattering earthquake, so much so that Ye Zheng needed a long time to digest it before realizing that her sister was actually not timid at all.
She grabbed Ye Sheng's hand, pondered over and over again, and finally asked, "Have you thought about the future?"
"Anyway, I'm going to the provincial capital as an apprentice. At worst, I can just perform well and try to stay in the provincial capital for a longer period of time." This was the only way out Ye Sheng could think of.
Ye Zheng also understood that this seemed to be the only option, but what if?
What if their parents go to the provincial capital to find Ye Sheng?
I had no choice but to ask Yao Zhizhi for help: "Editor Yao..."
Yao Zhizhi understood and comforted her, "Your parents have been taken into custody by the militia, and your sister will be fine for the time being. What you need to consider now is that once it is confirmed that the boy was abducted, your parents may have to go to jail, and your marriage may be affected."
"That's nothing. I'm just worried that those uncles and aunts might cause trouble." Ye Zheng knew the people in her village well. This matter could be big or small. If someone really wanted to cause trouble, it might not end well.
After all, explaining things to a group of people who are ignorant of the law is like talking to a deaf person.
Yao Zhizhi wasn't sure either, so she decided to just take it one step at a time.
All I could do was to tell them, "You two should lock the gate and don't open it no matter who shouts. There's everything in the kitchen, make something for yourself tomorrow morning."
"Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Yao." Ye Zheng sent Yao Zhizhi out and quickly locked the gate.
Once the person left, the two sisters had no more scruples about what they said.
Ye Zheng couldn't help but sigh: "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
"They were delivered just yesterday. There are three in total. They took a long time to choose and chose the youngest one, who is only six years old." Ye Sheng was helpless. It was not easy for a lesbian who grew up in the countryside to fight against her parents and clan forces.
She tried her best, but there was only so much she could do.
As for the two women in the village…if the police hadn’t run into them themselves, who would have dared to report them? They would have risked their lives.
Thinking of this, she felt inexplicably sad.
Ye Zheng was reluctant to turn on the light, so she lit a kerosene lamp and dragged Ye Sheng to the inner room for a detailed discussion: "Have you reported the situation of the other two to the police?"
"I've told you, Xiao Zheng and Captain Yang know about it, and they're arranging people to follow up." Ye Sheng had to work in the fields during the day, and he was dirty, so he didn't dare to go directly to the bed. He just moved a chair and sat down.
Ye Zheng wasn't clean either. The warehouse she lived in was already dirty, and she had to do laundry and cook for the president's family.
I simply got a chair and took off my coat and pants when it was time to go to bed before staining other people's beds.
Their eyes met and the two sisters sighed in unison.
Ye Zheng hesitated for a long time before asking, "How did you get to know Editor-in-Chief Yao?"
Ye Sheng was a little surprised: "Don't you know? The provincial capital's non-staple food factory has given Editor-in-Chief Yao twelve apprenticeship quotas. My parents found out about this and asked me to sign up."
Ye Zheng shook her head: "I don't know. I don't dare to be too conspicuous in the publishing house. I don't speak unless it is necessary."
"You're too cautious." Ye Sheng felt a little distressed. "Actually, there's no need to be. Editor-in-Chief Yao seems like a nice person."
"Strange, how did my parents know about her recruiting apprentices?" Ye Zheng couldn't figure it out. She always felt that she and her parents were not from the same world. She was obviously working under Yao Zhizhi, but the information she received was not as quick and comprehensive as her parents.
Ye Sheng didn't know either: "Maybe they know Ding Can and Zhao Maimiao? They are the two responsible for recruiting people."
"No wonder, that makes sense." Although Ye Zheng didn't like to meddle in other people's business, Zhou Juan from the proofreading team was a big mouth. She had only been there for a few days, but she had already learned almost everything that other colleagues knew from Zhou Juan.
It's funny to say that Zhou Juan took the initiative to greet her just to find out about her situation.
She kept her mouth shut and didn't want to gossip, so Zhou Juan had to take the initiative to bring up other people's gossip. By accident, she quickly found out the situation in the unit.
In short, Zhou Juan is a jealous and gossipy person, and is actually very annoying. However, there are always two sides to every coin. Zhou Juan hasn't been here for the past two days, and the workshop is quite deserted.
Ye Zheng reminded her, "If you go to the provincial capital, be careful. If you really have no other options, you can tell a lie. I heard that Zhao Maimiao also had a falling out with her family, so Editor-in-Chief Yao asked her to lie, saying she was engaged to one of Editor-in-Chief Yao's relatives, and her parents didn't dare touch her. You can learn from her, too. After all, they didn't say which relative it was, so it's just self-protection, not shabby."
"Then I'd better tell Editor-in-Chief Yao. It would be more polite." Ye Sheng didn't want to act on his own. Since he would be working for others in the future, he had to learn to respect them.
If you use someone else's banner, they will have to take responsibility. You must tell them in advance. You cannot act first and report later whether it is feasible or not. That is not good.
Ye Zheng thought about it and it made sense: "Have you eaten? I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
"Let me do it myself. You must be tired after working all day, and you still have to take care of the president's family." Ye Sheng quickly got up and took care of himself.
Ye Zheng was also a person who couldn't sit still, so one of them went to light the stove while the other went to pick vegetables.
There are many flower pots and foam boxes in the yard, which contain small green vegetables, garlic sprouts and onions. These green vegetables were hit by frost before the New Year, and now they taste sweet.
A bowl of noodles was quickly prepared, but Ye Sheng handed the chopsticks to Ye Zheng: "You eat first."
"I've eaten, you eat." Ye Zheng picked up the magazine on the bedside table and sat next to Ye Sheng.
The two sisters are several years apart in age and have the same father but different mothers, but Ye Zheng's mother is the cousin of their father, so she is actually closer to Ye Jun than they are to Ye Jun.
In addition, Ye Zheng was usually suppressed a lot at home, so Ye Sheng always instinctively preferred to get closer to this sister.
Maybe she has an instinct to sympathize with the poor and the weak.
She ate noodles, glancing at her sister under the kerosene lamp from time to time, with a smile on her lips.
In fact, her second sister is a very nice person. She likes reading very much, is quiet and doesn't fight or compete. It is very comfortable to get along with her.
After dinner, she washed the dishes and boiled a pot of hot water. The two sisters soaked their feet together and went to sleep.
You have to say, this feeling is really good. Without the pressure of two unruly elders, and without the close watch of clan forces, there are only two sisters in a small courtyard. It is really like a paradise. Before today, she would not even dare to think about it.
Ye Sheng even sighed even when he fell asleep, wishing it could be like this every day.

Yao Zhizhi returned home and sorted out the contents of the entire workbook.
In short, there was no one with the surname Hu in Ye Xinmei's maternal bloodline for several generations, but there was a person with the surname Li, who was Ye Xinmei's grandmother, and her maiden family was from Qiandeng Commune.
Director Hu's deceased ex-wife, his remarried sister-in-law, and his brother-in-law who would rather break the law to get him released, all have the surname Li.
Even though Zhang and Li are the most common surnames in Yicheng, it doesn't mean anything, but it is enough for Yao Zhizhi to make some associations.
She planned to start with this woman named Li.
As for who to ask, it's simple. You can ask Li Man, or ask the apprentices in Qiandeng Commune, or just go to Qiandeng Commune yourself, maybe you can get some information.
Anyway, it’s getting late, let’s talk about it tomorrow.
Little Yueliang is still sleeping at her grandmother's side tonight. Yao Zhizhi and Qi Changxiao are not surrounded by any other children, so they are very free and just cuddle with each other.
Afterwards, the two leaned against the head of the bed and sorted out the twists and turns again.
Yao Zhizhi suddenly remembered something: "Oh, right, when the Huang family asked Grandpa T to borrow money, didn't they also give a daughter to the Yao family to raise? It seems that this person is not among the Yao family relatives that Yao Jingye mentioned to me."
"Maybe she's gone? Or maybe she got married and is not counted." Qi Changxiao couldn't think of any other possibility.
Most of the so-called clan members in rural areas exclude daughters who marry out, not to mention that there is no blood relationship between them.
Yao Zhizhi nodded: "I'll ask Yao Taotao later, she should know something."
The next day at noon, people from the Feng family came from Shanxi, but Feng Yingjie's parents were not there. Feng Yingjie had difficulty communicating with others, so Yang Shuming had no choice but to call and ask Yao Zhizhi to come over.
When Yao Zhizhi got there, she saw a familiar figure and was stunned.
