Chen Fengxia went directly to the Hongqi Production Brigade. The two brigades were not far from each other and it only took about ten minutes to walk there.
But she came with a sigh of relief. When she got there, she realized she had no idea where Baoya was. She said she was here, but the production brigade was quite large. Where could she find her?
But now that she was here, she didn't plan to just go back. Chen Fengxia frowned and looked around, thinking of looking around as she walked to see if she could run into him.
At this time, Baoya was following Song Tianen and Yunduo to the back mountain to pick up branches. Yuanbao followed his father to get reeds and did not come, so this time there were only the three of them.
The three of them dug up some wild vegetables on the way and also found some cicada shells. Finally, they returned with a basket of branches full of harvest.
When going down the mountain, Song Tianen carried the baby on his back first. After a while, when he got tired, Baoya and Yunduo took over, and they took turns like this. Although it was a bit hard, none of the three children complained of being tired. Instead, they happily chatted about what delicious food they would have in the evening.
"Grandma said she would make us something delicious in the evening. What will she make? Fifth brother, what do you want to eat?" Yun Duo asked.
Song Tianen walked beside him and said after thinking for a moment, "I...I want to eat...chicken...omelet. What about you...you...Yun Duo?"
Yun Duo licked her lips and couldn't help but say, "I want to eat the shredded pheasant noodles from last time. They smell so good and taste so good."
Listening to her, Song Tianen also recalled the delicious shredded pork noodles and couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He also liked shredded pork noodles, but... but, there were no pheasants. They had also gone behind the big rock to look today, but there were none.
However, if there is no pheasant, it is also nice to eat omelets.
Baoya's mind flashed back to the food she had eaten these days, and her mouth began to water again. She was also looking forward to what she would cook tonight, but no matter what she cooked, it would definitely be delicious.
Thinking that Feng Guizhi would make delicious food again in the evening, Baoya retracted one hand and touched her round belly, shyly smiling with her teeth showing.
The three children walked down the mountain, thinking about dinner in the evening. They wished that time would pass quickly so that they could get off work sooner.
They were heading home, but halfway there, the three children ran into Chen Fengxia!
When Baoya saw her, she was frightened and then remembered what she had done a few days ago.
After having a dream, my little body began to tremble involuntarily.
Chen Fengxia also saw Baoya, but when she saw Baoya for the first time, she was a little hesitant to recognize her.
Although she had raised Baoya for more than three years and knew what Baoya looked like, most of the time Baoya was wearing dirty clothes full of holes at home, her body was dark, and she was skinny. She looked very different from her current appearance.
Her messy hair was combed straight, her face was clean, her skin was fair and tender, and her eyes were black and bright. She was wearing clean clothes without a single patch on them.
Moreover, during this time at Old Song's house, Baoya didn't have to do any work. She had enough to eat every day, and sometimes even meat and steamed eggs. Gradually, she grew up. Her little face became plump, and her skin was as white as a peeled egg. She looked better than the children in the city.
Chen Fengxia stared at it for a few seconds before she dared to recognize it, and then her heart suddenly started burning with anger.
Because of her, Zhang Hongli's family searched the house and ran to the brigade to tell everyone about the incident. Now, wherever she goes, people criticize her behind her back, saying she is cruel and would even sell her own child. They say Baoya is pitiful because she didn't have a good mother and now she doesn't know whether she is dead or alive.
After this incident, even the team leader came to talk to her and said that he would hold a meeting to criticize her, saying that she had ideological problems and that she had brought disrepute to the entire team.
There is also Tian Xiufang, who is always in a bad mood. She says she is a troublemaker and wants to send her back to her parents' home.
But the result is that while her side is in chaos, Baoya, that dead girl, is actually living quite comfortably here. Look, she not only didn't lose weight, but even gained some weight.
Suddenly, Chen Fengxia thought of the humiliation she had suffered during this period, and her anger reached its peak.
She glared and took two steps at a time to move forward, intending to pull Baoya's ear.
He cursed, "You damn girl, I've been looking for you till the end, and you seem to be living a good life here!"
Baoya's face turned pale the moment she saw Chen Fengxia. Now, seeing Chen Fengxia coming towards her angrily, she reflexively stepped back.
Thinking of the scene in her dream, Baoya was so scared that she shed tears. She didn't want to leave and didn't want to be sold to that bride. After she came to her senses, she turned around and ran away.
"You dead girl, you still
"How dare you run!" Chen Fengxia cursed fiercely, and caught up with Baoya in just a few steps.
Song Tianen and Yun Duo beside them were stunned for a moment, not knowing what had happened. When they came to their senses, Song Tianen quickly ran over and protected Baoya behind him.
Although he was a little scared, he still said with all his strength: "What...what are you going to do..."
Seeing Baoya trying to run away as soon as she saw her, Chen Fengxia's anger grew even more intense. She pushed Song Tianen away and grabbed Baoya's clothes with her big hands:
"You still dare to run? Where can you run to, huh?"
Chen Fengxia's face was distorted with anger. Baoya's tears fell even harder when she saw her. She tried to shrink back and break free, but she was so small that she couldn't compare to Chen Fengxia in strength.
Chen Fengxia was furious when she saw Baoya's expression. "I've raised you for nothing, feeding you and giving you water. Now you run away when you see me? I think I've been raising an ungrateful person these past few years!"
Chen Fengxia wanted to beat Baoya up, but since they were in another team now, she didn't dare to go too far, otherwise the team leader would have to hold a meeting to ask her to reflect on her mistakes.
She frowned, grabbed Baoya's clothes and walked back.
"Come back with me."
Baoya sobbed, tears streaming down her face. She didn't want to go with Chen Fengxia, but her strength was no match for her.
"You, what are you doing? Don't take my sister away!" Song Yunduo was anxious when she saw Baoya being dragged away, but she didn't dare to step forward.
Song Tianen got up from the ground, hurriedly chased after her, and pried Chen Fengxia's hand apart.
“Let…let go…”
Chen Fengxia turned her head and pushed Song Tianen hard. Song Tianen fell to the ground with his head tilted back. The back of his head hit a stone. The severe pain made him unable to get up.
Yun Duo was startled: "Fifth Brother!"
Yun Duo ran to Song Tianen, looked at Baoya being taken away by Chen Fengxia, and then looked at Song Tianen lying on the ground. She suddenly felt at a loss and couldn't help crying.
"Wuwuwu, Fifth Brother..."
After all, he was only a six-year-old child. It was his first time encountering such a situation. He was scared and didn't know what to do.
After a while, Song Tianen slowly opened his eyes and saw Yun Duo beside him wiping away tears and crying. He looked to the side and could hardly see Baoya anymore. He suddenly felt anxious.
I struggled to get up and try to chase after him.
However, thinking that he could not beat Chen Fengxia at all, he quickly said:
"Go... go find milk!"
Song Yunduo was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a sob. After looking at Song Tianen with some worry, she got up and ran away.
Song Tianen rubbed his head, endured the pain and quickly chased in the direction of Chen Fengxia. He clenched his fists, his mind firm. He was a brother, and he had to protect his little sister Xiaobao!
"grandmother!"
Feng Guizhi was weeding in the field at the moment when she heard someone shouting from afar.
"Whose bird is that? It sounds a bit like clouds?" said Mrs. Sun next to her.
Feng Guizhi thought the voice sounded like Yun Duo's, so she listened carefully and quickly dropped her things and ran out. She saw Yun Duo crying and coming towards her.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly went to meet him.
"What's going on?"
When Yun Duo saw Feng Guizhi, she finally felt more confident. All the fear she had just felt came out in an instant, and she cried breathlessly.
"Nana, there's...someone..."
Feng Guizhi saw Yun Duo crying so hard and was afraid she might pass out, so she patted her back and said, "Don't cry, don't cry. You have milk here, don't be afraid."
After a while, Yun Duo sobbed and told what had just happened: "Someone took Xiaobao sister away, and that person also beat up the fifth brother. The fifth brother just fell to the ground and couldn't move..."
Feng Guizhi's heart started beating fast when she heard this: "Where's Tian'en? How is he now?"
"Fifth brother woke up later and asked me to come... to find milk while he went to chase little...sister Xiaobao." Yun Duo wiped her tears and said with sobs.
Feng Guizhi raised her hand and wiped her tears: "Don't cry, it's okay, I have milk, don't be afraid."
Yun Duo nodded, and her mood gradually calmed down.
"Tell me, was it a man or a woman who took my sister away? Where did she go?"
"The woman went...towards the big pond."
After asking this question, Feng Guizhi felt like her heart was burning with anxiety. She was worried about Baoya who was taken away, and Song Tianen who was beaten. She wanted to chase after them, but she was worried about Yunduo who was frightened.
After comforting Yun Duo, she said, "Listen, grandma, go find your mother now and tell her about this. Ask her to call your father and your aunt and uncle to go to Datang."
After saying that, she looked at Grandma Sun and said, "Auntie, could you please accompany Yun Duo?"
If you put
Normally she wouldn't want to trouble others, but now she has no choice.
"You should go and have a look quickly. I'll take Yun Duo with me." Mrs. Sun said hurriedly.
Feng Guizhi didn't say anything extra. After handing Yun Duo to Mrs. Sun, she hurriedly took the small path towards the big pond, with a very gloomy face on her face.
.......
Chen Fengxia dragged Baoya back, feeling a tightness in her heart as she walked, cursing fiercely:
"You silly girl, you're living pretty well with my family, right? Huh?"
"I think you're a jinx, you've been unlucky for me at home. I didn't expect that even after selling you out, you'd still be in so much trouble. I owed you in my past life, right? Why do you have to hurt me like this?"
Chen Fengxia poked Baoya's face hard with her fingers. Her hands were strong and Baoya's skin was tender, so soon there were several red marks.
Baoya was hurt by the poke, but she didn't hide. She just kept recalling the scene in her dream, thinking that she would never see the Song family again, but would be sold to someone else and taken to a new place. She felt very uncomfortable.
She opened her mouth, wanting to vent, but her throat felt like it was clogged with cotton and no sound came out. She strained hard, but still no sound came out.
Tears streamed down Baoya's face as she cried bitterly. Thinking about not being able to see Feng Guizhi, who fed her egg custard, Song Tianen, who treated her well, and Song Bowen, who fed her candy, she felt like a huge stone was blocking her heart, making her feel uncomfortable.
This discomfort had been accumulating, and when the emotions reached their peak, she suddenly let out a shrill scream!
At that moment, Chen Fengxia's mind went blank for a moment, then her hand loosened and Baoya fell to the ground.
Feng Guizhi and Song Tianen, who were rushing over, heard the sound and felt their hearts tighten immediately, and quickened their pace.
Baoya didn't cry out when she was hurt. She got up, wiped her tears and ran back.
Chen Fengxia finally came to her senses, thinking she was just frightened by Baoya's sudden voice, and didn't think much of it. Then she took a few steps forward and caught up with Baoya, cursing loudly:
"It's only been a few days and you've already grown wings. I wonder where you're going to run, you little bitch! If you dare to run again, I'll break your legs!"
“Let go…let go!”
When Song Tianen arrived, he saw Chen Fengxia about to hit Baoya, and he was immediately excited.
He got angry and started punching and kicking.
"Ouch!"
Chen Fengxia was hit several times, and was forced by Song Tianen's posture to not care about Baoya anymore. She took a few steps back. Gritting her teeth, she cursed angrily:
"You little bastard, are you crazy?"
Song Tianen didn't care about her. He only thought that she was going to beat Baoya and take Baoya away, so he waved his fists hard.
Chen Fengxia had no way to fight back and could only retreat.
Baoya fell to the ground, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and looked at the fierce Song Tianen, feeling very worried.
Fortunately, Song Tianen delayed for a while, and when Chen Fengxia reacted and wanted to fight back, Feng Guizhi, who was taking a shortcut, arrived here.
"I'll see if you dare to move!" Feng Guizhi looked at a woman from afar who was about to hit her grandson, and immediately spoke with a gloomy face.
Chen Fengxia was startled by the sound and kept raising her hand.
When Song Tianen heard Feng Guizhi's voice, he took the opportunity to run away from Chen Fengxia, then grabbed Baoya, who was crying loudly, and ran towards her.
Baoya turned her head and saw Feng Guizhi coming. She suddenly felt like she had someone to rely on, and her tense heart relaxed slightly. She sniffed and raised her little hand to wipe away her tears with the back of her hand.
Song Tianen dragged Baoya to Feng Guizhi's side and hurriedly said, "Grandma, she wants to... wants to catch... take Xiaobao away..."
Looking back now, Song Tianen is still a little scared, afraid that he didn't catch up, afraid that he didn't protect his little sister Xiaobao.
Baoya was sobbing softly, but her little hands were tightly holding the corner of Feng Guizhi's clothes.
Feng Guizhi looked at Baoya's red eyes from crying and Tianen's face with several red marks, and she felt very distressed.
But now is not the time to feel sorry for them. Feng Guizhi touched their heads soothingly, pulled them to her side, and then looked at Chen Fengxia with a serious face.
"Which team are you from? Ah, how shameless! You're such an adult and you're still bullying a child?"
"I bullied the child? It was obviously this bastard who came up and hit me." Chen Fengxia glared at Song Tianen angrily.
"He hit you? He was hitting you, wasn't he? You're a human trafficker who kidnapped a child and brought him to our home. You're so immoral and you're not afraid of retribution. Be careful, or I'll report you and send you to a reformatory farm!"
Chen Fengxia laughed when she heard this, "Kidnap a child? She's my daughter.
How can I be considered a child kidnapper? I want to ask, you guys didn’t kidnap my daughter, did you?
Feng Guizhi had already guessed this, and after hearing what Chen Fengxia said, she felt it was probably true. However, human traffickers always make up lies, so she didn't dare to believe them easily. She looked down at Baoya and said,
"You said she is your daughter, so she is your daughter. Can you provide evidence?"
Chen Fengxia sneered: "What you said is really interesting. I am her mother. What do I need to prove? My presence is the proof."
She looked at Baoya again and said fiercely, "Baoya, come here!"
The commotion here quickly attracted the attention of many people. There were many workers working in the fields on both sides of the road. They all gathered around, sensing that something was wrong.
"Guizhi, what happened?"
"What's going on?"
Someone who had come over earlier and understood the situation started explaining, and after everyone knew, they all started talking at once:
"Don't police officers always say they need evidence? You say you're the child's mother, so you have to produce evidence, right? Otherwise, how can we all believe you?"
"That's right."
"Is he really a human trafficker? We should call the captain over and have him interrogate him."
"Maybe it really is that girl's mother?"
"Why don't we take her to the police station and ask them to help investigate. If she's a human trafficker, that'll save her from escaping. Human traffickers are all heartless, so we can't let them go."
Chen Fengxia was alone after all. Seeing a group of people gathered outside, she was afraid that they would really take her to the police station, so she quickly said:
"She is my daughter, that's for sure. I'm from the Yuejin Production Brigade next door. My daughter ran away a while ago when we were just finishing the wheat harvest. I just found out today that she ran away here, so I came to look for her. If you don't believe me, go to the Yuejin Production Brigade and ask if this is true."
When she said this, some people also knew: "Are you Tian Xiufang's daughter-in-law?"
"Yes, yes." Chen Fengxia responded quickly.
At this moment, Chen Xiuxiu, Yang Yulan and Sun Suyun all came over and stood next to Feng Guizhi.
One of the wives clapped her hands and said, "I heard from Li Laoer's family that there was a woman in their brigade who thought her daughter was stupid, so she sold her to someone else for five yuan. Oh, could it be her?"
"What? Selling my daughter?"
"What's going on?"
That daughter-in-law
I told him what I had heard: "...She was sold for five dollars, and then I heard that the child ran away that night and hasn't been found since. If what she said is true, then it seems like it was her."
After hearing this, the eyes of the people around looked at Chen Fengxia and changed immediately: "She even sold her own daughter. Is she still a mother? She is so cruel!"
"That's what I mean. Look at how pretty that girl is. She's so fair and clean. I haven't seen a prettier girl than her in these brigades."
"I can't tell whether she's stupid or not, but she's actually very sensible and well-behaved. Last time I saw her helping Guizhi plant beans."
The people in the surrounding brigade were discussing the matter. Chen Fengxia had heard these words many times in the Yuejin Production Brigade, but she didn't expect to be pointed at and scolded here. She was so angry that she burst into curses:
"Speak up, speak up. How does this bother you? You're just standing there talking nonsense. I want to sell my daughter, so if you can, you can sell her too!"
Someone retorted: "What's wrong with you? You've even sold your daughter, and you don't allow people to talk about it?"
"That's right, you're acting like a bad guy. Be careful or we'll report you and send you to a forced labor camp!"
"They say women hold up half the sky. You're selling our own daughter, bringing shame to us. What's wrong with saying a few words to you?"
Chen Fengxia had just stood there with her hands on her hips, ready to fight, but after hearing that, her temper immediately dropped. She was alone, surrounded by a crowd, and now she was afraid of being reported, so she immediately lowered her head and dared not curse anymore.
He just stiffened his neck and shouted, "I just want to take my own daughter home right now. What's wrong? Is this illegal?"
This time, no one said anything. They really had no right to say anything about the fact that she wanted to take her daughter home. Although they knew she was not a good mother, they were still a family after all, and they, as outsiders, could not interfere.
After hearing this, Feng Guizhi looked at Baoya who was standing next to her and frowned.
Baoya also understood what Chen Fengxia had said and knew that she wanted to take her away. However, she didn't want to leave and didn't want to be sold to that bride again.
Tears welled up in her eyes, and her two small hands grasped the corner of Feng Guizhi's clothes, not daring to let go. She didn't say a word, but her whole body was filled with resistance and fear.
Even through the clothes, Feng Guizhi could feel Baoya's little body trembling, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
like
If Baoya's mother was a good person, she would be willing to send the child back even if she was a little reluctant. But now, it is obvious that Baoya's mother is not a good person.
She was so young, yet so sensible and hardworking, yet she was cruelly sold for just five yuan. And the way she treated her just now, and looking at Baoya's red eyes from crying, no matter which point, it was clear that Chen Fengxia was not a good mother at all.
She had been sold once by her mother before, so who knows if she will be sold again after being taken back this time?
Such a young child is really pitiful.
Yang Yulan stood aside and looked at Baoya, feeling even more reluctant to let her go. After spending these days together, she had already treated Baoya as her own daughter. She had previously thought that if she couldn't find her parents, she would continue to raise her.
But she didn't expect her mother to come so soon.
However, looking at Chen Fengxia's appearance and what she just heard, she really couldn't bear to send Baoya back.
"Is it okay now? If it's okay, I'll take my daughter home." Chen Fengxia came up and was about to pull Baoya.
At this time, someone nearby asked: "You won't sell the child after you take her back, will you?"
Chen Fengxia was getting impatient: "What's it to you, huh? Why are you worrying so much? If you like this idiot so much, you can just spend money to buy her."
Everyone around was furious and shouted, "If you still want to sell your daughter, then we won't let you take the child away today!"
Many people in the brigade had seen Baoya these days. They had originally thought she was pretty, well-behaved, and sensible, making her very likable. But now that they knew she had been sold by her own mother, they couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
Chen Fengxia was confused at the moment. Why did so many things go through so much trouble if she wanted to take Baoya away?
"This is my daughter, my daughter, what's wrong? Do I need your permission to bring my daughter home? Be careful or I'll report you, saying you kidnapped my daughter and won't return her!"
"Then let's go to the police station and ask if selling your daughter is illegal."
The two sides started arguing.
Song Yuan had just arrived and quickly tried to stop the fight. After learning the truth, he was also a little embarrassed. Especially when he heard that Baoya was actually sold by her own mother, his brows furrowed.
It's obvious that Chen Fengxia is not someone who is easy to get along with.
Looking at Baoya's pitiful appearance, no one could bear to be cruel to her.
Although I knew that it was Baoya's mother and I should let her take Baoya away, I felt in my heart that I couldn't let Baoya go with her.
To put it bluntly, it is like pushing people into the fire.
But after all, feelings are feelings, and the law is the law. He could only say: "Although this girl is your daughter, you can't sell her like this. This is the style of bad elements. You can take her back, but you have to promise not to sell her. Otherwise, we will go to the police station to see what the police say."
Song Yuangang had no choice. After all, Chen Fengxia was Baoya's mother, and he couldn't stop her from taking his child away. He could only hope that Baoya would not be sold again.
However, that being said, if Chen Fengxia really wanted to sell it, they couldn't stop her. Song Yuangang glanced at Baoya and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Chen Fengxia responded perfunctorily and went forward to pull Baoya.
Baoya couldn't help shaking when she saw Chen Fengxia coming over, tears welling up in her eyes again. Feng Guizhi sensed her fear, glanced at her, and then raised her foot to block her way.
She looked at Chen Fengxia and said, "Five dollars, right? I'll buy it."
As soon as these words came out, everyone around them widened their eyes.
Yang Yulan was both surprised and delighted when she heard this. She had wanted to buy the Baoya earlier, but five yuan was indeed a considerable sum. The Song family had a large family with many children, and she didn't know how long it would take to save up five yuan. She didn't have any money on hand, so she could only hold back and keep silent.
When I heard that Feng Guizhi wanted to buy Baoya, I was naturally happy.
Who knew that Chen Fengxia scoffed and said, "Five dollars? Who told you my daughter is worth five dollars? Huh?"
Originally, Baoya was sold for five yuan, but the girl ran away! Zhang Hongli's family came to find her, not only making the whole team know about it, but also causing her to read a self-criticism at the meeting.
Now her reputation was gone, and she couldn't be a relative anymore. Now Feng Guizhi came out and asked for five yuan to buy Baoya. Of course, she was unwilling to do so, thinking that she had lost a lot.
She had been gossiped about wherever she went these days, and the grievances she had suffered were more than just five dollars! So, if she didn't want to, it was absolutely impossible.
"Who said that? Don't you think everyone knows that you sold your own daughter for five dollars? What's the matter? Don't you have any shame at all now?" Chen Xiuxiu immediately retorted in annoyance.
"Five dollars was the previous price. Now I want this girl..." Chen Fengxia thought about it and raised the price directly:
"Ten dollars! Not a penny less."
