Chapter 148 Sold
Du Juan covered her beaten face, speechless with fear.
"Tell me quickly, where did you hide Shen Yun and Shen Xue?" Shen Xiangxi questioned Du Juan.
"I just said the wrong thing. I didn't see Shen Yun and Shen Xue at all." Du Juan hurriedly denied.
"We all heard it. You said you took them away. If you don't admit it, then we will report it to the police. I don't believe that there are no clues at all." Shen Ruoqing said.
Hearing Shen Ruoqing say that she would report to the police, Du Juan became even more panicked. She simply made up her mind: "I took them both away, so what? They are my children. How can I, as a mother, harm them? I sent them both to live a good life. You don't have to look for them anymore."
"Du Juan, it was really you who took the two children away? Where did you send them?" Shen Xiangxi asked with anger in his heart.
Seeing that the truth had been exposed, the eldest sister-in-law of the Du family stopped pretending.
"Shen Xiangxi, you are raising three daughters by yourself now. It must be very hard. We have good intentions. After all, they are the granddaughters of our Du family. How can we harm them? These two little girls will have nothing to do with your family in the future. It also saves your family two people's food rations."
"My aunt's family can't afford to eat, or what? Do I need you to help me save food?" Old Mrs. Ji was angry, "Where did you send my two granddaughters?"
The Du family hesitated and refused to say anything. Only after Shen Ruoqing once again threatened to report to the police did the Du family speak.
It turned out that there was a cadre family in the county who had never had a child, and the couple wanted a girl. Du Juan's eldest brother contacted this channel, and then put this plan on Shen Xue's head.
Originally, they only planned to take Shen Xue away, but Shen Yun and Shen Xue were together, and Shen Yun kept protecting Shen Xue and wouldn't let Du Juan take Shen Xue away. The Du family was afraid that Shen Yun would go home and tell on the truth, and the matter would be exposed, so they knocked Shen Yun unconscious and took him away.
In order to prevent any further complications, Brother Du Juan sent Shen Xue over overnight and took Shen Yun away with her. Brother Du Juan said that he would find a good family for Shen Yun.
"The family I found for Shen Xue is a cadre family, and they don't have any children. When the couple retires, their job will belong to Shen Xue. Isn't this better than following you?" Du Juan felt more and more that she had done nothing wrong.
"Du Juan, if there was no benefit, would your Du family go to such great lengths to come to our village and take my niece away? You said you were giving her up for adoption, but have you asked for our family's consent? And it seems to me that you are not giving her up for adoption, you are selling your own daughter, right?" Shen Ruoqing said.
Du Juan felt a little guilty. Indeed, she didn't want to take care of her two girls. But her eldest brother said that the cadre family would give her a bribe of 300 yuan, and Du Juan was tempted.
Anyway, she was not harming that girl Shen Xue. She was doing a good thing. Finding good parents for Shen Xue would make her future better. Collecting some kickbacks was just a side benefit.
Seeing Du Juan's expression, how could Shen Xiangxi not know what happened? Shen Xiangxi was furious: "Du Juan, how can you be so cruel? You want to sell your own flesh and blood! I tell you, when we divorced, we agreed that Shen Xue and Shen Yun belonged to me, and you have no right to sell them!"
Shen Xiangxi really wanted to hit someone, but since only the women from the Du family were there, he couldn't.
At this time, Du Hu, the eldest brother of the Du family, came back.
He seemed very excited: "Mom, wife, guess how much those two girls were sold for? You, why are you here?"
Shen Xiangxi couldn't help it. When he saw Du Hu coming back, he raised his fist and hit him.
"I'll beat you to death, you little bastard, and make you sell my daughter!"
Du Hu naturally would not take a beating in vain, so he fought back. However, the three brothers of the Shen family were all there. Seeing that Du Hu dared to fight back, Shen Xiangdong and Shen Xiangnan would certainly not stand idly by. So, Du Hu was beaten unilaterally.
"Stop hitting me, stop hitting me, stop it now!"
Seeing Du Hu screaming in pain from being beaten, the Du family members hurried out to stop him, but it was useless.
"Tell me quickly, where did you sell my daughter to?"
Du Hu refused to speak at first, but after being severely beaten, he finally confessed.
"It's a family surnamed Dong in the county town. They are a cadre family. Shen Xue will not suffer any loss if she follows them. I am also doing this for your family's good..."
Before he could finish his words, Du Hu was punched again.
"What about Shen Yun? Where did you sell Shen Yun to?"
When Shen Yun was mentioned, Du Hu's expression became evasive. Shen Xiangxi punched him a few more times before he was willing to tell the truth.
"Shen Yun is too old, and cadre Dong doesn't want her, so I can only, can only sell her to Brother Zhang... Oh, stop hitting me, stop hitting me, I've already said it, why are you still hitting me?"
"Third brother, stop fighting for now. Finding Shen Yun and Shen Xue is the most important thing."
"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill someone? Let my son go. I get it. You just want the money from selling those two girls. Can I give you half of it? They are just two girls. Is it necessary to use such harsh methods?" Du's mother shouted.

"Bah!" Old Lady Ji pouted at Mother Du's face. "Do you think my Shen family is as black-hearted and rotten-bellied as your Du family? Even if my family starves to death, we will never sell our children! If you dare to sell my Shen family's granddaughter, I tell you, this matter will never end!"
Shen Xiangxi pressed Du Hu and asked him to lead the way.
The Shen family went to the county town again.
When the Shen family met the Dong family, they were reluctant to hand Shen Xue back.
"My husband and I liked this girl right away. We have already agreed that we will give her 500 yuan and never have anything to do with her again. I also told you that we will treat this girl like our own daughter. What do you mean by sending someone to our house now?"
Originally, the Dong family was still a little angry, but after hearing the whole story and looking at Shen Xue who had been sleeping soundly, the Dong family realized that they had also been deceived by Du Hu.
"Aren't you cheating people?" Officer Dong broke out in a cold sweat. They originally just wanted to adopt a daughter, but ended up becoming human traffickers.
Moreover, their family will leave the county tomorrow and be transferred somewhere else. Thinking of this, he felt a little more angry.
Fortunately, the communication with the Dong family was relatively friendly. The Dong family finally agreed to return Shen Xue to the Shen family, but the 500 yuan given had to be returned.
Shen Xiangxi was very scared. Fortunately, he rushed here overnight. Otherwise, by the next day, when the Dong family left the county, he was afraid that he would never see Shen Xue again.
Du Hu took out the money with a painful heart. If the Shen family didn't come to his house, he would have told his family that the amount was 300 yuan, so he could have kept 200 yuan for himself.
