Li Xiaohua hurriedly threw off the covers, disregarding the fact that she was still in postpartum confinement, got out of bed, put on her shoes, and left the room.
"Father, Mother, the mountains~"
Dragging my aching body, I went from room to room.
No, why not?
My mother-in-law wouldn't take the child to the fields. Where did the child go?
Li Xiaohua's eyes were filled with tears, and she was completely at a loss.
My child, my child, she stumbled out of the house.
Lu Cao peered through the cracks in the seemingly sealed room.
A satisfied smile appeared on her lips as she said softly, "This is all your fault. If you hadn't married into our family, my father wouldn't have abandoned me. I would still be the most favored one in the family. As for that child, it's all his fault for taking away what was rightfully mine. Hehehehe."
Lu Cao let out a chilling laugh.
He gently picked up the crowbar next to him with his right hand and hid it under the bed.
Did they think she was just messing around on her last blind date?
She just wanted to take advantage of the chaos to grab some things; if she's not having an easy time, no one else should either.
He went out for a casual stroll, intending to observe Ye Zhiyu, but unexpectedly encountered something wonderful.
If everything goes well over there, Ye Zhiyu is gone, and the child at home is gone too. These are two great joys! How happy I am! How should we celebrate?
The medicine Li Xi gave me worked quite well.
Ever since Li Xiaohua gave birth to her child, Lu's mother, who had previously cared about Lu Cao, has been spending all her time around Li Xiaohua and her child.
Lu Cao saw it all and felt resentment in her heart.
She never thought she was wrong; she only blamed her parents for changing their minds. The reason for this change of heart was Li Xiaohua and her son. She believed that as long as the source disappeared, her parents would still treat her as well as before.
Li Xiaohua had only given birth a few days ago, and her wound hadn't healed yet. She walked along the road, enduring the pain. She wanted to run, but she was powerless to do so.
We finally arrived at a crowded place.
An older woman spotted her and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, isn't this the mountain woman? What are you doing out here?"
The old woman quickly came over to support her. Li Xiaohua was trembling all over and relied on the old woman's strength to hold on.
His face looked terrible, and the people around him quickly called out, "Dashan, Dashan, your wife is here."
Lu Dashan, who was busy at the time, was stunned. He thought he was hallucinating. His wife was at home in confinement after childbirth. How could she possibly be here?
But I still followed the sound.
They immediately noticed that Li Xiaohua was in very poor condition, leaning against an elderly woman, and quickly ran over to take her away.
"Honey, what's wrong?"
The Party Secretary and Lu's mother also came over after hearing the letter.
As soon as they stood still, they heard Li Xiaohua crying out, "Where's the child? You took the child to the field, didn't you? Let me see him!"
Lu Dashan's hands tightened: "No, how could we bring the child here, wife..."
He couldn't continue. Li Xiaohua came from home, which meant that the child was missing and there were human traffickers. He suddenly felt a little dizzy, wondering if it was because he had been in the sun too much.
The Party Secretary and Lu's mother fainted first; they were old and couldn't withstand the shock.
Li Xiaohua had known all along the way, but when the truth was laid bare before her, she still couldn't bear it.
"Mountain, my child, my child is lost, this can't be real, why..."
The words stopped abruptly, and another person fainted.
Since we learned about human traffickers, five or six people have already died in this area.
At noon, under the blazing sun, Lu Weimin had them all moved under a tree to a shady spot.
Li Xiaohua was still in her postpartum confinement period, so she borrowed a blanket from someone nearby to wrap herself in.
This is how it is during postpartum confinement; you can't be exposed to wind regardless of the season, or you'll develop health problems later.
Although many women go back to work before their postpartum period is over, it's either because they've encountered a wicked mother-in-law or they've been forced into it.
When Lu Chen returned with the police, the person who had been unconscious had already woken up and was making a fuss about finding the child, which gave Lu Weimin a huge headache.
Upon seeing the police, the victims rushed towards them.
"Officer, you must find my child. He is my heart and soul. I can't live without him."
"I'm kneeling down to you, please."
The police officer grabbed her arm and said, "Ma'am, you can't do this. Go home and wait. We'll do our best, okay?" He reassured her.
That's what they say, but whether the police are truly confident or not, they know in their hearts.
Human traffickers are cunning and have multiple burrows. Every time they finally get a clue, by the time they arrive, the place is already empty, without a trace.
I didn't have any hope this time either.
Although Lu Chen said his partner had marked the road, they still thought it was in vain.
After calming the person down, Lu Chen was about to lead the way. A lot of time had passed, and he wondered how A Yu was doing.
Lu Dashan stepped forward: "I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, the other families chimed in, saying, "We'll go too."
Before the police could speak, Lu Chen was already impatient. "If you go with them, you'll only become a burden. By the time you get close to the traffickers, you'll be discovered, and your children will never be able to come back."
Lu Ze could tell at a glance that if he dragged it out any longer, Lu Chen might say something even more offensive, so he quickly changed the subject.
"Uncles and aunts, let's wait here. Otherwise, we'll have to trouble the police to protect you."
Only after those people quieted down did Lu Dashan glance at Li Xiaohua, who hadn't cried or made a fuss since waking up.
He was determined to follow in Lu Chen's footsteps and bring the child back.
The Party Secretary and Lu Mo wiped away their tears and looked at their daughter-in-law's chapped lips: "Xiao Hua, come on, let's have some water."
Li Xiaohua didn't open her mouth or make a sound.
Overwhelmed with grief, Lu's mother cried out, "Hua, don't scare your mother, say something!"
The Party Secretary patted her hand: "Don't pressure her, just wait here."
Mother Lu exclaimed, "Damn it all, what sins have we committed?"
After being thrown to the ground, Ye Zhiyu remained in one position for a long time, which caused her to experience back pain, leg cramps, and other ailments.
She's such a big person, even the slightest movement from her attracts a lot of attention.
Moreover, judging from their conversation, there were actually a few people who hadn't returned.
Ye Zhiyu frowned. There were already more than a dozen children lying in bed in their brigade. If a few more of them came back, there would be about twenty or thirty.
These families who lose their children are left devastated.
Just then, another group of people returned.
"Third Brother, you're finally back! We've been waiting for you."
The tall man stepped forward and took the child from his shoulders.
Ye Zhiyu counted them; there were five children.
"Third brother, come quick! You know how beautiful that girl is, she's like a celestial being."
He then tossed the child to the ground and walked toward Ye Zhiyu.
She felt a large hand brush the hair away from her face, revealing her true appearance.
"Oh, that's true. No wonder the woman who did business with us wanted to harm her. She's a natural seductress. I guess men were bewitched by her, which is why they came to us."
