The next morning, after sending her daughter Qian Baoge to school, Shen Nan went straight to Old Qian's house. The large iron lock she had hung on the back door of Old Qian's house was still quietly there. It wasn't because the Qian family didn't want to open the lock, but because Old Qian had forgotten about it.
It was already evening when Old Lady Qian and her son and grandson returned home, all exhausted. Old Lady Qian was so engrossed in her anger that she didn't even go to the back door. Qian Jincai and Qian Longbin had already laid down on the kang when they got home, so they wouldn't have noticed anything like this.
As a result, the next day, Shen Nan saved himself the trouble. After returning from the village primary school, he did not even go home, but went directly to the gate of the old Qian family. Now, ten-year-old Qian Meijuan replaced Yu Min, who ran away from home, and became the main labor force in the family.
Under the pressure of Old Lady Qian, Qian Meijuan got up at six in the morning to cook porridge, and then heated the kang in several rooms. She combed her hair, washed up, and ate before going to school. While she was leaving for school, everyone in the family was still sleeping in on the kang.
Qian Meijuan was so angry with her family, but she could do nothing about it and went to school angrily.
When Shen Nan came to the Qian family's door and banged on the door and knocked on the basin again, he woke up the lazy family. When they heard Shen Nan's voice, although everyone had put on their clothes, they stayed in the house and dared not say a word.
Shen Nan made quite a noise, and since it was winter now and everyone had nothing to do in the fields, they loved visiting each other and joining in the fun. As a result, many villagers soon gathered in front of the Qian family's house to watch the fun.
While knocking on the big iron basin, Shen Nan counted all the things the Qian family did, from how they spent the dirty money that the second son and his wife made from human trafficking, to how they worshipped the second daughter-in-law with a body as big as a gas barrel like a sacrifice, to how they disliked the third son Qian Jingui's son and forced him and his wife to leave the house, and how they abused Qian Xiaoshu who had disappeared not long ago.
Finally, she started talking about the romantic affairs of the men in the Qian family. The villagers loved to hear this kind of gossip. Shen Nan kept talking about all kinds of gossip about the Qian family, occasionally interspersed with some dirty scolding.
The news spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, more and more villagers gathered around the Qian family to watch the fun. Some villagers even called people from nearby villages to watch the fun.
The Qian family was immediately surrounded. Not only could they not open the back door to escape, they couldn't even climb over the wall to escape.
Everyone listened to the gossip just for fun, but when it came to the second son of the Qian family and his wife, the two extremely evil human traffickers, everyone was filled with righteous indignation, and their anger was directly transferred to the Qian family in the yard. They wished they could drag the whole family out and parade them through the streets immediately.
The most infuriating and sad thing is the disappearance of Shen Nan's son. In the past, when Shen Nan went crazy, he went to the Qian family to ask for his son. Some people thought that Shen Nan was crazy and his thinking was disordered.
Now that the story of Qian Laoer and his wife has been exposed, those who once did not believe Shen Nan’s crazy words now believe it without a doubt, and firmly believe that the child was abducted by Qian Laoer and his wife.
Everyone started to curse the family and called them good-for-nothings. Some villagers were so angry that they picked up clods of dirt or went home to get their trash and threw it into the Qian family's yard.
Some villagers also brought sewage and poured it over the wall into Lao Qian's yard.
Although the Qian family members were all hiding in their homes, one could already imagine how dirty and miserable the large courtyard that the Qian family had built and that they were proud of had become.
Shen Nan calculated the time and did not leave until the elementary school was about to finish school. The villagers also dispersed and went home to cook.
After venting her anger in front of Qian's house, she felt better. When she went to pick up her child from school, she didn't look crazy at all.
Most of the children in the village primary school walked to and from school by themselves, and Shen Nan was one of the few who picked up and dropped off their children. She was afraid that her daughter would encounter an accident like her son, so she didn't dare to be careless at all.
After school, many children went home in groups of three or five. Qian Meijuan was also surrounded by several female classmates, but these were not her friends, but the group that specifically bullied her.
On the way home, the girls started hurling insults at Qian again. Many children in the village lack a sense of polite language, and their elders often swear, so they too are prone to swearing.
Some called her a vixen because she was pretty and said she would seduce men when she grew up. Some called her family of human traffickers shameless. Some classmates asked Qian Meijuan for money because her family was well-off.
It is winter now, and most people are wearing cotton-padded clothes made by their parents, with a half-worn and tacky coat on the outside.
Qian Meijuan, on the other hand, wore clean, stylish clothes left over from her aunt Qian Jinling's twin daughters.
The two girls were the same age as Qian Meijuan. Because they were well-nourished and taller, the remaining clothes on their bodies were just big enough for Qian Meijuan.
Qian Jinling often sent these old clothes home. Although they were leftovers, they were much better than the clothes worn by rural children.
The classmates were jealous that Qian Meijuan could wear such nice clothes. They all said that her family bought them with the money from trafficking children. Several girls started to throw dirt on Qian Meijuan and even took out a folding knife to cut through Qian Meijuan's clothes, revealing the stuffing inside.
Seeing Qian Meijuan become so embarrassed, the girls walked away contentedly.
Originally, after Qian Baoge finished school, Shen Nan could take her home quickly. However, after she accidentally discovered that Qian Meijuan was bullied, she wanted to see the power of those children again.
Call her gossipy or cruel, she felt very happy when she saw the Qian family's children suffering retribution for the immoral things done by their adults.
She stood not far away with her daughter and watched quietly. Qian Baoge was only in the first grade and was young, so she had not yet formed a clear concept of right and wrong, good and evil.
Seeing someone bullying Qian Meijuan, she couldn't bear it and said to Shen Nan: "Mom, let's go help Sister Meijuan, okay? Those older sisters who bullied her are so mean..."
Shen Nan did not blame her daughter for saying this, but squatted down and said to Qian Baoge: “Little pigeon, some people are not worthy of our pity.
Your brother was taken away and sold by her family, and we don't know where he is suffering now. She is suffering a little now, but at least she can still live with her family.
Compared to what your brother has suffered, her suffering is nothing. Little pigeon, remember, this is the retribution for doing bad things..."
Qian Baoge nodded, seeming to understand. Although she didn't know whether it was right to stand by and watch this matter, when she mentioned her beloved brother, she suddenly didn't feel that Qian Meijuan was pitiful at all.
If they weren't Qian Meijuan's family, why would her father not come home for so many years and always be outside looking for her brother?
