Chapter 94: The person ran away?
Lu Xing did not tell anyone about this. Although You Dali came over and said that this was not illegal, she still felt something was wrong.
Maybe this is a feeling she got after encountering so many things.
However, there has been nothing going on in Xiaoshi Village recently. Everyone is busy pressing oil. Lu Xing's family produced almost 70 kilograms of oil from the beans.
Other people's oil has to be divided among their sons and daughters, and sometimes relatives who are good friends with them also get some.
In previous years, Lu Xing had few relatives, and she'd ate all the oil herself for the entire year. This year, a nephew suddenly showed up, and she was wondering if she should give him 20 kilograms of oil.
The main reason is that it is rather troublesome for them to send the oil, and the shipping cost of 20 kilograms of oil is also expensive.
When she was out for a stroll, she met Liu Hehua who was walking her dog, and told her about this incident.
"Ji, think about it. He traveled so far just to give you a photo. He's obviously someone who owes you a favor and will remember your kindness. With such a relative, why not keep in touch with him?"
As for the fact that we have never gotten along before, it is not a big deal. People's feelings are developed through getting along with each other and can be cultivated slowly.
"Having such a relative around makes every festival more lively."
Liu Hehua has many relatives, and she has to give a lot of gifts every year when she visits them, but she also receives a lot, and can always ask relatives for help if she has any problems, so she thinks Lu Xing can get in touch with her eldest nephew.
"Speaking of this, I remember there was someone in our village whose child wasn't as good as your eldest nephew's. Her mother raised her, but after she finished junior high school, she ran off with another man."
"She usually looks like a quiet girl, but I don't know what happened to her. She suddenly did this, and her parents were really worried."
"Her parents have been looking for her for days and haven't found her. What do you think is going on?"
This was the first time Lu Xing had heard of this. "Why haven't I heard anyone else in the village talk about this before?"
Liu Hehua felt that this matter was a confusing one. "Her family was ashamed and didn't want to tell anyone, but they also wanted to find their daughter quickly. If I was trying to hide it, how could I possibly find her?"
"I'm telling you this because I want to ask if you can help me figure out where his daughter ran off to?"
She asked the system about this, and the system only knew that they had escaped to another city, but it didn't know where exactly.
During the monitoring, it also discovered two pregnant people hiding in the mountains. They were not from Xiaoshi Village, so Lu Xing did not mention this.
"That girl should no longer be in our county. She has gone to another place."
"What?" Liu Hehua didn't doubt it. "Even if they can't find it, there's such a big place outside, where can they find it? His family is also committing a sin."
"Then I have to go tell her family right away. Because of this girl, her family hasn't had a good night's sleep in a long time."
After saying that, she left in a hurry.

At Lu Dabao's house, the couple was very restless. Whenever they heard any noise, they would look at the door to see if the maid had returned.
Li Zhaodi held Lu Dabao's hand, feeling a little uneasy. "Dad, do you think this is the reason why the girl left?"
She pointed to her belly, and Lu Dabao immediately grabbed her hand. "Don't say anything nonsense. They're very strict about this out there. Our girl must have been tricked away by that kid from the next village."
"If you ask me, I shouldn't have sent her to school in the first place. She's so eager to learn that her parents don't want her anymore. It would have been much better if she could become a seamstress like other families."
"When the time comes, find a partner and take care of your family together. Isn't that better than anything else?"
"That's right, if she hadn't been tricked, why would our girl run away?"
She said words of agreement, but she couldn't help but worry in her heart.
"What should I do if the girl doesn't come back?"
"You ask me what to do?" Lu Dabao smoked a cigarette, his face full of worry. "What can we do? Can we quit working and go look for her? That family will starve to death."
As the two were talking, Liu Hehua's voice came from the door.
"Lu Dabao."
"Aunt Liu, why are you here? Is there any news about my daughter? Come in, come in."
The couple pulled Liu Hehua inside, eagerly hoping to hear some good news.
Being looked at like this, Liu Hehua felt a lot of pressure, but the key point was that she had to speak up.
"I've asked around, and it seems your girl is on a bus to another city."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Dabao and his wife, her tone a little cautious, "Are you still looking for her now? If you are, I will go and find out where she is going by car."
Li Zhaodi spoke without thinking, "Aunt, we must find it."
Lu Dabao grabbed her hand and told her to stop talking. "What are you looking for? Where can I get the money?"
"That's your own daughter. Are you going to give up looking for her just because of a little girl who hasn't even been born yet?"
Li Zhaodi was so emotional that she accidentally revealed the fact that she was pregnant.
There was still a crackdown on over-birth outside, and Lu Dabao's first reaction was to cover her mouth, but he didn't expect that this would further intensify her emotions.
"Why are you covering yourself up? Are you embarrassed to get up at this time?"
"Shut up! Do you think I feel good about this? Are you going to raise this child or not? Where will the fine for having more than one child come from? Where will the money for raising the child come from?"
"I work hard in the fields every day until night, and I support my daughter through junior high school. What have I done wrong?"
Lu Dabao took a puff of his cigarette and vented all the emotions that had been pent up in his chest for a while. "She's my daughter. I've raised her so much, how can I not have any feelings for her? My heart isn't made of stone."
"I just said that her betrothal gift would be used to pay for Xiao Er's fine. Isn't that what everyone in our village who has no money does? I'm not selling my daughter. How could I have known she would be so angry and cause such a quarrel?"
"I'm not telling the truth. Where does your family get so much money? Which family doesn't try to save money?"
"If you're pregnant with a baby, wouldn't it be abnormal for me to focus on you? How does that mean I don't want a daughter?"
The two of them started crying as they argued. Li Zhaodi was so angry that she had no place to vent her anger because she couldn't find her daughter. She also knew that what Lu Dabao said was true.
Isn't that how everyone gets by when their family is broke? She couldn't understand why her daughter was angry.
Liu Hehua didn’t know how Li Zhaodi did it. Didn’t everyone in the village go to the health center to get an IUD at that time?
But now wasn't the time to ask that. She looked at the couple who were slowly calming down and said, "You two know that if you get caught you'll have to have an abortion, right? If you give birth, it'll be considered an extra birth and you'll be fined, which is a hefty sum."
The couple who had just been arguing now had a highly unified attitude on this matter. "Auntie, we know what's going on."
After they all said so, Liu Hehua didn't try to persuade them any further. Before leaving, she said, "I'll ask around and tell you if I get any news about that girl."
"Thank you, auntie." Li Zhaodi's mood had just calmed down, but she couldn't help but tear up again because of these words.
Liu Hehua didn't tell anyone about their affair, but other people weren't fools, and over time some people gradually discovered something.
Although the Birth Control Office has a new leader with a slightly better temper, her attitude towards the issue of having more children than allowed is still very tough.
On the day the news was confirmed, Lu Dabao and his wife were arrested, and they didn't even have time to run away.
