Jiang Zhengmao stroked his beard and said, "Someone should lead the way. I'll ask later."
Jiang Huaixu stood beside the carriage outside the county government office, looking at the situation at the street corner not far away, his brows furrowed deeper.
There were more than just them who came to settle down. Some refugees had lost their household registration and had no money on them. They were now selling their children to human traffickers at the street corners. Most of them were girls, and there were also some half-grown boys. The human traffickers knew they were anxious, so they lowered the price very low. Even so, they still sold their children.

Zheng Li Niang was startled by her mother's loud voice. Seeing that there were no officials outside, she whispered, "Mother, there are so many victims. It's good enough that the government can give some money. If you complain again and those officials hear you, it will be terrible!"
