Chapter 347
The police arrived at Yangchang Village quickly, but by then Li the Cripple and the man who had bought Quan Yu had already gone into hiding.
Police had come to Yangchang Village before, but the villagers protected each other and stood together against the outsiders, hiding the people very well, and the police returned empty-handed many times.
But this time it's different. The Quan family is determined to get to the bottom of this, not only by providing funds but also by contributing manpower and resources.
When Quan's parents learned about the terrifying nature of the village and that the villagers would spontaneously supervise and prevent the people they had bought from escaping, they were both terrified.
Especially after learning how those who escaped and were caught would be treated, and how many people who had been beaten to death were buried in the mountains behind the village.
They finally realized that Grandma Liu and Rong Rong had truly saved their son's life.
They knew their son best; Quan Yu would definitely seize every opportunity to escape, and if this happened too often, he might actually be beaten to death one day.
Mr. and Mrs. Quan solemnly thanked Grandma Liu and promised to repay her kindness.
They also wanted to help Rongrong go home, but out of gratitude and respect for Grandma Liu, they wanted to ask her beforehand.
Before the two could even ask, Grandma Liu said first, "This girl was also bought by me. You can take her with you."
Grandma Liu nudged Rong Rong towards Quan's parents. Rong Rong turned around in surprise, her eyes filled with disbelief and panic.
"Grandma, don't you want me anymore?"
Rong Rong had just felt Grandma Liu's love for her, so how come Grandma Liu is pushing her away in the blink of an eye?
Grandma Liu felt a pang of pain in her heart. She wanted to go forward and hug Rong Rong to comfort her, but she hesitated for only a moment before hardening her heart and not moving.
"Let's go, this old woman likes peace and quiet, you should all go home."
Of course, the real reason was definitely not that she thought Rong Rong was noisy; she just didn't want Rong Rong to be trapped in such a small mountain village where there was nothing.
Moreover, she was getting older and her health was deteriorating, and she was afraid that she would not be able to accompany Rongrong as she grew up.
If Rongrong is left alone in the world, who will protect her?
"I don't want to!" Rong Rong's eyes welled up with tears.
The woman next to her also wiped away tears with a heavy heart. Although she knew that the two were not related by blood, Rong Rong really regarded the other as her own grandmother.
This is why trafficked children and their buyers develop an inseparable bond over time.
Grandma Liu avoided Rong Rong's gaze and turned to Quan's mother earnestly, "Old woman, I don't want any reward, I only ask you to promise me one thing, promise me to help Rong Rong find her family."
"I promise you! I will definitely do it!" Mother Quan nodded repeatedly.
Rong Rong lowered her head, her sobs growing softer as she considered her next move. She realized that Grandma Liu really wanted to send her away.
A moment later, I felt a soft touch on the top of my head.
Rong Rong looked up and saw that Quan Yu had appeared beside her at some point.
The other person was much taller than Rong Rong, and standing there now, he really gave her the feeling of an older brother, instantly making the somewhat confused Rong Rong feel safe.
Quan Yu's eyes seemed to speak volumes; he told Rong Rong not to be afraid.
"I will stay with you!" Quan Yu whispered comfortingly, secretly giving Rong Rong strength.
Rong Rong, who has lived through many lifetimes and possesses the soul of an adult, was inexplicably comforted by Quan Yu.
She unconsciously leaned against Quan Yu, who then put his arm around Rong Rong's shoulder.
Two little children, two exceptionally good-looking children, are embracing each other so tenderly, a scene so beautiful that it brings a smile to one's face.
Quan's mother watched this scene with delight, happy that her child finally had a companion, and happy that the delicate little girl had finally stopped crying.
Grandma Liu was also very gratified, and without hesitation, she spoke her mind, "If Rongrong can't go home, please, please don't send her to an orphanage, please take her in!"
But if it's inconvenient for you, please send her back, back to Yangchang Village!
Only Grandma Liu knew that she hadn't spent much time with Rong Rong, not enough for Rong Rong to completely forget her family and rely solely on her.
As clever as Grandma Liu was, how could she not have imagined that Rongrong and her parents did not have a good relationship?
Perhaps Rong Rong didn't have any parents.
Therefore, what Grandma Liu really wanted was for the Quan family to adopt Rong Rong. However, she was unsure of Rong Rong's true thoughts and did not say it outright. Instead, she arranged various escape routes for Rong Rong.
Grandma Liu never thought that the Quan family would really abandon Rong Rong. She could tell that Mr. and Mrs. Quan were people who valued loyalty and righteousness and had principles.
It's also clear that Quan's mother likes Rong Rong. Come to think of it, who wouldn't like an angel like Rong Rong?
And then there's Quan Yu. This old woman can tell that the boy's eyes are glued to Rong Rong!
Quan's mother solemnly assured Grandma Liu that she could definitely do it.
Secretly, she really wanted to adopt Rong Rong. She had always wanted a daughter. When she was pregnant with Quan Yu, she hoped for a daughter, but it turned out to be a boy.
Later, her father felt sorry for her and didn't want her to suffer the pain of childbirth. In addition, her health was not good to begin with, so the two of them did not plan to have a second child.
Her dream of having a daughter was shattered. Now, looking at Rong Rong, who was incredibly beautiful and adorable, she really wanted to take her home.
At this moment, Quan's mother even darkly hoped that Rong Rong would not be able to find her parents and would have no choice but to stay in their Quan family.
But then she thought of her anxiety and sadness at losing her son, and how many beatings her son had endured to come home.
She was annoyed by her own thoughts.
One should not be too selfish!
She still has to try her best to help Rong Rong find her own home.
With Quan Yu's comfort, Rong Rong calmed down. She could feel the love from Grandma Liu and Quan Yu, which warmed her heart and made her feel less anxious.
"Will anyone bully Grandma after we leave?" Rongrong asked, expressing her concern.
"Don't worry, this old woman has someone to rely on!" Grandma Liu replied with a smile.
The parents repeatedly assured him that they would arrange everything.
"Let's go to the big city, it's better than staying in the mountain village. You're still young, unlike this old woman who's already old!"
After saying goodbye to Grandma Liu, Rong Rong got into the Quan family's car and left Yangchang Village.
Rong Rong never imagined that she would have such a strong connection with Haishi, a connection that led her back here after all the twists and turns.
It was only then that she suddenly remembered that the richest family in Shanghai was the Quan family, and their heir seemed to have been kidnapped by human traffickers and died tragically.
The original owner didn't have a strong impression of this matter, so Rong Rong didn't pay much attention to it either.
So, Quan Yu was the Quan family's abducted child? So both the original owner and Quan Yu were so pitiful? Sold to Yangchang Village, where they both rest in peace?
Rong Rong turned her head to look at Quan Yu, who smiled at her.
So they escaped their fate together and worked hard to grow together?
