Chapter 114: The End of the Zhu Family

Xiaoxiang didn't know what she was thinking about, her face suddenly turned pale, and she hugged the child tightly in her arms.

Lu Ze frowned, thinking that Xiaoxiang was feeling unwell, and asked concernedly: "Xiaoxiang? What's wrong with you?"

Xiaoxiang came back to her senses and shook her head in a trance: "I... I remembered something Zhu... Zhu Dahai told me..."

At that time, she had just started dating Zhu Dahai. One day, after drinking a little, they started talking a lot and said they wanted to tell Xiaoxiang a secret.

Xiaoxiang was very curious and asked, "What secret?"

Zhu Dahai's expression began to become weird. He said, "A friend of mine accidentally got his girlfriend pregnant."

Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, then asked subconsciously: "And then?"

"What can I do? Abortion is so expensive, so I just gave birth to the baby." Zhu Dahai said with a smile: "Alas, it's a pity that it was a girl. It's too unlucky. It's my buddy's first child! So, my buddy got rid of the child."

When Xiaoxiang heard this, she felt a little creepy. She subconsciously felt that this "handling" was definitely not easy. She stared at Zhu Dahai blankly and didn't say anything for a long time.

Zhu Dahai ignored her daze and continued, "Guess how he handled it?"

Xiaoxiang didn't say anything, so Zhu Dahai continued, "He suffocated the child to death, and buried him in our yard..."

Xiaoxiang felt creepy instantly. Even the smile on Zhu Dahai's face became sinister in her eyes. She stood there in a daze, too scared to speak for a long time.

At this moment, Zhu Dahai suddenly laughed out loud, and the other party slapped his thigh and laughed happily: "Haha... I was just joking and you really believed it. You are so timid."

Xiaoxiang came to her senses and breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be a joke. She scolded Zhu Dahai and didn't take it to heart.

But now, she suddenly remembered and understood instantly, how could Zhu Dahai be joking? He was simply telling the truth under the guise of joking.

What horrified Xiaoxiang the most at this moment was that when she just became pregnant, she told Zhu Dahai in a panic that she was pregnant.

Zhu Dahai was playing with his phone at the time. He took a moment to glance at her and said with a smile, "Since you're pregnant, just give birth to the baby."

Then, he leaned closer to Xiaoxiang and said, "At worst, I will do the same as my friend and deal with it."

Even though the other party later explained that it was just a joke, Xiaoxiang still felt scared every time she thought of Zhu Dahai's expression at that time.

Now it seems that her fear probably came from intuition, because Zhu Dahai was not joking at all!

If there was no way to sell the child, the other party might still choose to do the same as the previous child and sell her child as well...

Thinking of this, Xiaoxiang hugged her child tightly and couldn't help crying.

At the age of 18, when her peers were still worrying about going to school, she had already learned a lot and understood the consequences of trusting the wrong people.

She is not only sorry for herself, but also for her children.

After hearing what Xiaoxiang said, Lu Ze and Qi Nian looked at each other, and both of them looked a little unhappy. If what Xiaoxiang said was true, then Zhu Dahai's family was no different from demons.

Especially Zhu Dahai, who could easily talk about how he destroyed a young life in the name of joking.

Lu Ze was silent for a long time, then said, "Call the police."

Qi Nian thought so too, and nodded in agreement.

The current situation is not something they can control at all. It would be best to find the police. With their capabilities, they will definitely be able to catch the person who bought the child behind the scenes.

So that day, they took Xiaoxiang to the police.

After hearing about what Zhu Dahai had done and that his family might have been involved with human traffickers, the police immediately paid attention to it.

The town's police station was not very large, so the chief came over and said sternly, "I'll be honest with you. We've received several reports of missing young girls recently, and we're investigating. Thank you for the clues you provided. I've reported it to my superiors, and asked them to send more police officers."

Seeing that the other party took this matter so seriously, Qi Nian and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

——

On the other side, Zhu Dahai and his family returned home. Zhu Dahai frowned and asked worriedly, "Mom, do you think they will agree?"

Zhu's father is almost a invisible person at home, and Zhu Dahai asks his mother whenever he has questions.

When Zhu's mother heard him ask this, she immediately said, "Of course we have to agree. How can we not agree? That's 10,000 yuan. We are willing to give this much to a little girl. That's enough! I regret giving her too much!"

Zhu Dahai still felt something was wrong, but after hearing what his mother said, he could only feel relieved.

That's right, that's ten thousand yuan. Even though it's not a lot, it's enough to buy a little girl. Besides, the little girl would be a burden to Xiaoxiang. He believed that Xiaoxiang's family should be able to make the right choice.

As for Xiaoxiang's wishes, Zhu Dahai did not consider them at all. In his opinion, his mother was right. Xiaoxiang was too noisy. She actually made such a fuss for a little girl!

Fortunately, he listened to his mother and did not marry Xiaoxiang, otherwise she would have caused trouble to the Zhu family and made their home uneasy.

Zhu Dahai suddenly thought of something, his eyes sparkling, "Mom, remember, that guy said he wanted all the girls, no matter how many there were! It's a pity that I only had this one, the one before... Oh!"

He felt extremely regretful now, not because he had suffocated the child to death, but because he had not known this method of making money earlier. However, it was not too late to know it now.

"You are so stupid. Giving birth to children one by one will tire you to death!" Zhu's mother patted Zhu Dahai's head, feeling extremely distressed, as if giving birth to children was like letting her son give birth to them.

"They said they wanted a girl, not just ours." Zhu's mother said with greed in her eyes. If she gave so much to one girl, then two would be twice as much, and ten would be ten times as much!

When Zhu's mother thought about how wealthy her family would become in the future, she began to tremble with excitement.

Zhu Dahai interrupted her thoughts with a puzzled look: "Mom, why does he want so many girls? Why only girls?"

Zhu's mother frowned: "Why do you care so much? Besides, didn't I tell you that we also want good-looking boys?"

Zhu Dahai actually had a vague guess that these children were not what the other party said, that they were not to be adopted by a family. But even if he guessed it, what did it have to do with him?

In the eyes of the Zhu family, those girls were not real people, but banknotes. At this moment, the faces of the mother and son were filled with the same greed.

A strange thing happened in Zhu Dahai's village. Zhu's mother, who originally hated girls the most, actually gently gave the little girl in the village some candies when she saw her playing.

In those days, sugar was worthless in the countryside, but the person who gave the sugar was Zhu's mother.

You have to know that they used to hate girls and even forbade them to play outside their home, saying it was unlucky.

The villagers, especially those families with girls, disliked the Zhu family because of this incident.

Today, Zhu's mother happily gave their daughter candy, but instead of feeling happy, they felt a chill down their spine.

Tsk tsk, this Zhu family is full of evil intentions, are they planning something new?

As for the candy given by Zhu's mother, of course she couldn't let her daughter eat it. Who knew what was added to it? She just threw it away when her daughter wasn't paying attention.

When Zhu's mother heard that families with daughters in the village were wary of her, she couldn't help but want to scold her, saying that she was giving face to those people and was really ignorant.

However, she put on a pitiful look and said that she had changed. As for how many people would believe her, it is unknown.

The Zhu family soon couldn't wait any longer. Why wasn't there any movement from Xiaoxiang's family? She's just a girl. Is it necessary to consider her for so long?

And for some unknown reason, the person who had contacted Zhu Dahai and talked about buying the child suddenly could not be contacted anymore. The Zhu family couldn't help but panic because that was their way of making money!

All he could do was urge Zhu Dahai to send a few more messages and contact the other party as soon as possible.

However, just as they were dreaming of getting rich, there was a knock on the Zhu family's door.

Mother Zhu immediately asked, "Has Xiaoxiang's family figured it out?"

She ran to the door happily, opened it, and saw several policemen with serious faces.

Zhu's mother was immediately startled and laughed dryly, "Comrade police, did you knock on the wrong door?"

The leading police officer asked, "Is this Zhu Dahai's home?"

Zhu's mother didn't dare to say anything. She couldn't understand why the police came to their house. They didn't do anything.

When the police saw her reaction, they knew they had made the right choice.

When Zhu's mother heard that their family was involved in "murder" and "trafficking in women", she was very upset: "Comrade police, are you mistaken? How could we kill people? As for trafficking..."

Didn’t they have time to kidnap him yet?

However, they had no chance to argue. When the police cordoned off an area in their yard and prepared to dig, the Zhu family's faces changed.

Zhu Dahai looked at his mother in panic and saw that his mother's face was as pale as paper.

He suddenly went crazy and yelled, "It's all that bitch Xiaoxiang's fault. It must be her...it must be that bitch who said it! Police comrade, we are really wronged."

He remembered that he had only told Xiaoxiang about this, and he did so in a joking tone. How could it be possible, how could it be discovered?

It’s all Xiaoxiang’s fault!

On the way to the police station, the Zhu family kept cursing Xiaoxiang's family, but no one paid any attention to them. There was no way they could escape the charges in this way.

What awaits them will be legal punishment.

As for the person who contacted the Zhu family to buy the child, he has also been arrested.

The police found out that there was an organization behind the people who bought the children. The people in this organization kidnapped or bought young girls from others and then sent them abroad.

Of course, it is impossible to live a good life abroad as Zhu's mother said, but any normal person can roughly guess how dark the industrial chain behind it is.

In the eyes of these people, people are not living beings, but just objects that can be sold at will.

After investigating this, the police have realized that this is not an ordinary human trafficking case. They have reported it to their superiors and will contact the international side to do their best to rescue the victim.

As for what happened next, it was no longer something that Qi Nian and the others could control.

Let’s talk about the Zhu family again. At first, the villagers were puzzled as to what the Zhu family had done to deserve the arrest of the entire family.

When the villagers later heard that the police had dug up a baby's skeleton in the Zhu family's yard, they were instantly horrified.

One by one, they cursed everyone in the Zhu family, especially the neighbors, who felt it was unlucky and wanted to point at the Zhu family's noses and curse them.

Unfortunately, the Zhu family had already been taken away and would most likely never come back, so they would not have the chance to hear so many people scolding them.

After hearing that Zhu Dahai's family was arrested, Xiaoxiang cried again while holding her child. Now she was completely relieved that no one would send her child away.

"What are your plans for the future?" Lu Ze asked Xiaoxiang. Xiaoxiang is only eighteen years old now and her life has just begun. She can't put all her hopes for the future on her child.

Xiaoxiang looked a little confused when she heard Lu Ze's question. She had never thought about these problems before. No matter in the past or now, her life was always spent in a daze day by day, and she felt like living one day at a time.

As for life planning, it is even more impossible to have one.

Lu Ze knew what she was thinking from her expression. He sighed and said, "Maybe after a while, your parents will find a family for you to marry into."

Although Xiaoxiang has given birth to a child, she cannot get married in the village now. There are many bachelors. I'm afraid that someone will come to propose marriage soon.

Xiaoxiang's parents might also plan to get her married.

What Lu Ze said was a bit cruel, but it was indeed the reality.

When Xiaoxiang heard this, her expression changed from bewilderment to resistance. She shook her head and said, "I don't want to get married."

After what happened with Zhu Dahai, she is now extremely resistant to men. Xiaoxiang feels scared when she thinks that she might meet someone like Zhu Dahai in the future.

And she had a child, and she didn't believe anyone would accept her child as they would their own daughter.

Lu Ze said this not to influence Xiaoxiang's thoughts, he just wanted to put the facts in front of Xiaoxiang and see what choice she would make.

If she didn't say it, Xiaoxiang would still be in the same state of confusion as before, and such a tragedy might happen again. This was something Lu Ze didn't want to see.

"But in your current situation, you may not be able to decide whether to get married or not." It doesn't mean that Xiaoxiang's parents will force her, but if Xiaoxiang still can't stand on her own, perhaps this is the only path waiting for her.

Xiaoxiang could understand what Lu Ze meant. She grew up here. Although this situation is rare nowadays, most girls who drop out of school early will eventually get married early.

Maybe when they get married, they don't even understand what marriage is.

Xiaoxiang didn't want this to happen. She didn't know why she didn't want to, but... She looked at Lu Ze fiercely, grabbed his sleeve nervously, and begged, "Brother, please help me. I don't want this to happen."

Lu Ze was silent for a moment, then said, "You can come to me later and I will help you find a job."

Xiaoxiang was delighted at first, but then she thought of her own child and hesitated again: "But... my child."

"When the child grows up a little, send him to school," said Lu Ze.

But it might take a few years. But it is definitely not a good idea to leave the child to Xiaoxiang's parents to take care of, after all, Xiaoxiang was raised in a free-range environment.

"Go to school...Okay! I'll send her to school." Xiaoxiang seemed to see that her child's life was completely different from her own, and her eyes lit up for the first time.

For the first time, she had a longing for the future.

Lu Ze looked at her and curled his lips: "I'll give you some books later. You can read them when you have nothing to do. They will be useful in the future."

Xiaoxiang was a little worried that she wouldn't be able to learn it, but she nodded obediently anyway.

"As for these few years, don't worry, I will convince my uncle and the others." Xiaoxiang's parents might be instigated by someone and think about letting Xiaoxiang get married.

Xiaoxiang quickly said: "Thank you, brother, thank you..."

When Lu Ze left Xiaoxiang's house, he saw Qi Nian peeking in from the door. Seeing Lu Ze coming out, Qi Nian scratched his head in embarrassment and couldn't wait to come over and ask, "What's up? What did Xiaoxiang say?"

Lu Ze told Qi Nian what they had just talked about. Upon hearing this, Qi Nian breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile: "That's great."

He really couldn't bear to see Xiaoxiang suffer such a tragedy, and hoped that Xiaoxiang could start over in the future.

"It's too early for you to feel relieved now." Lu Ze said dimly.

Everyone thought: “?”

Lu Ze: "Our car is almost late."

Everyone thought: "Ah!"

The two planned to go back today. After all, they couldn't miss too many classes. Seeing that they were about to miss the bus, they hurried home, got on Lu's father's small electric tricycle, took a shortcut, and finally arrived at the station after a bumpy ride.

When we arrived, they had already started checking tickets, but luckily we managed to catch it.

Qi Nian sat in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm so tired."

Turning around, he saw that Lu Ze was also very tired, and he felt mentally balanced instantly.

When they were almost there, Qi Nian lowered her eyes and sent a message to Chu Rongshi. After receiving a reply from him, she smiled happily and said to Lu Ze, "Do you want to come with me later? My brother is coming to pick me up."

"Forget it." Lu Ze put his hands behind his head and said slowly, "I'd better not go and be a light bulb."

Qi Nian blushed at what he said and pouted: "What kind of light bulb is that?"

Lu Ze: "I have something else to do, so I won't go with you guys."

In that case, Qi Nian nodded: "Okay then."

After leaving the station, Qi Nian separated from Lu Ze. When he lowered his head to send a message to Chu Rong, he was typing when he was suddenly hugged from behind. His muscles tensed instantly and then he smelled a familiar breath.

It was Chu Rongshi, but Qi Nian still didn't relax. He looked at the people coming and going around him and said awkwardly, "What are you doing? There are so many people here. Let me go first."

Chu Rongshi pinched his earlobe in dissatisfaction and let him go.

Qi Nian touched the place where he was pinched by the other party and looked at Chu Rongshi with resentment.

Chu Rongshi chuckled: "What's wrong? Did it hurt? Let me take a look."

As he was about to get closer, Qi Nian felt embarrassed and quickly covered his ears to avoid him: "No...nothing, where is the car? Oh, over there."

He quickly walked to the front of the car, pulled the door but didn't open it, then turned to look at Chu Rongshi.

The latter pressed the key, and Qi Nian opened the door and got in the car, but he sat in the back seat to prevent Chu Rongshi from doing anything to him, humph!

However, just as he was admiring his excellent choice, Chu Rongshi opened the car door and came to the back.

Qi Nian stepped back a little and said timidly, "You...why are you coming to the back instead of driving in the front?"

"Baby, do you think I'm your driver?" Chu Rongshi chuckled and approached Qi Nian, gradually forcing him to retreat.

Afterwards, Qi Nian was held in Chu Rongshi's arms, and his soft lips rubbed against Qi Nian's neck. Qi Nian's hair stood up and he felt a weird feeling.

"Yes, you are a driver, hurry up and drive to the front." Qi Nian pushed Chu Rongshi.

The latter seemed to have not heard what Qi Nian said, and whispered: "I miss you so much."

Qi Nian's face flushed.

Chu Rongshi seemed to be addicted and held on to Qi Nian. Qi Nian suddenly felt like a large aromatherapy diffuser.

The two were very close, and as Qi Nian pushed, friction was inevitable. Qi Nian suddenly widened his eyes in disbelief and looked at Chu Rongshi.

Chu Rongshi's breathing became heavy, and he held on to Qi Nian tightly, as if he was trying to relieve the impulse in this way.

Qi Nian stammered: "How could you...how could you do this!"

Chu Rongshi did not say anything. He lowered his eyes and bit Qi Nian's lips lightly, slowly going deeper. Their breathing intertwined, and Qi Nian's breathing became unstable. His lips and tongue were completely occupied by Chu Rongshi, who robbed his breath. Qi Nian just felt dizzy, and a feeling of being unable to control himself rushed straight to his head.

His fingers gradually tightened, tightly grasping the clothes of the person in front of him, and wrinkles were formed one after another on the fine fabric.

Afterwards, Chu Rongshi held Qi Nian's hand, and he suddenly whispered, "Nian Nian..."

In this situation, Qi Nian immediately understood what the other party meant. He bit his lip and blushed without refusing.

I don't know how long it was, Qi Nian wiped his hands with shaking hands, with disbelief on his face, he was just in the car with Chu Rongshi...

The small car was filled with an embarrassing smell. Qi Nian opened the window as wide as possible with a red face.

Chu Rongshi hugged him from behind, with a satisfied smile, he played with and kissed Qi Nian's fingers, as if he were treating the most exquisite work of art in the world.

Qi Nian was so embarrassed that he didn't even know how to talk to Chu Rongshi. He opened the car door.

After a while, Chu Rongshi was driven out of the car and sat obediently in the driver's seat, letting Qi Nian drive.

"I'm sorry, are you angry?" Chu Rongshi said cautiously, "I just couldn't help it. Nian Nian was really too..."

"Stop talking! I'm not angry!" Qi Nian immediately raised his voice and stopped Chu Rongshi from speaking.

Chu Rongshi immediately shut up and lowered his eyes to hide his smile.

Qi Nian lowered his head and glanced at his red hands. He let out a "whoosh" and raised his hands to cover his face. Then his movements froze, and when he remembered what this hand had just done, he felt sick.

He withdrew his hand guiltily and looked at Chu Rongshi who was driving in front of him. Fortunately, the other party was busy paying attention to the road conditions and did not notice his previous action.

Qi Nian lowered his eyes and bit his lip, feeling that he couldn't keep this hand. Whenever he saw this hand, he would think of what happened just now...

Ahhh! It's all Chu Rongshi's fault.

Moreover, Qi Nian is now particularly grateful that Lu Ze is not with him. No, if Lu Ze is with him, Chu Rongshi will definitely restrain himself!

But Chu Rongshi just hugged him and panted softly...

Qi Nian closed his eyes helplessly, feeling that he was hopeless. How could his mind be filled with such green and healthy things?
