"Thanks."

Shen Ruoqing glanced at the only girl who thanked her. This girl was thin and small, but her facial features were good. Her small face, the size of a palm, had a pair of big watery eyes.

"What's your name?" Shen Ruoqing asked casually.

"My name is Xiaoyanzi. Sister, thank you for saving me."

Xiaoyanzi? Shen Ruoqing looked at her again and said, "The medicine has been applied. Don't worry, the police will take you home."

Xiaoyanzi bit her lip and finally said, "Sister, I was sold out by my family. Even if I return home, they will definitely sell me out again. Sister, can I follow you?"

Shen Ruoqing was a little embarrassed. If it was as Xiaoyanzi said, then Xiaoyanzi's family would be very difficult to deal with. Shen Ruoqing was not that saintly and did not want to add so much trouble to herself.

"You can go to the Women's Federation. I can only help you temporarily, not forever. If you don't want to be controlled by your family, you have to be tough. Human trafficking is illegal. If your family really sold you, you can go to the Women's Federation and ask for help."

Xiaoyanzi's expression dimmed, but then she became firm again: "Okay, thank you, sister."

Seeing that Xiaoyanzi didn't pester him, Shen Ruoqing felt a trace of pity and stuffed five big unity cards into Xiaoyanzi's hand.

"That's all I can do to help you."

It was almost dawn at this time and the police arrived.

Shen Xue and Shen Yun also woke up. They were still in a daze and only knew that their mother seemed to want to take them away, but they both refused. They didn't remember anything that happened afterwards.

Old Mrs. Ji wanted to return to the village as soon as possible, but the police still wanted them to cooperate in recording their statements.

"Grandma, Dad, I'm so hungry." Shen Xue rubbed her stomach. She and Shen Yun had not eaten dinner.

Fortunately, the police were quite understanding and asked the Shen family to buy some food first before going to the police station to record their statements.

When Shen Ruoqing and Shen Xiangnan came to the state-owned restaurant to buy steamed buns, Han Guizhi didn't know what had happened at home. Shen Ruoqing said a few words to Han Guizhi and hurriedly followed the police officer to the police station, but she bought a lot of steamed buns and gave some to several police officers.

"Comrade Shen, we can't have it."

"It's okay, it's just a few buns, not something expensive. Thank you for going out on patrol so early. I've already bought it, let's eat together."

In the end, a few police officers accepted it, but they all paid money.

Because the police were here, Shen Ruoqing gave Zhang Ge and the others the antidote. When Zhang Ge was taken away, he glared at Shen Ruoqing. The girls were also rescued, and the leading officer Deng said that they would send the girls back to their homes.

Shen Ruoqing pulled Officer Deng aside and whispered a few words to him, then pointed at Xiaoyanzi. Officer Deng then nodded.

When Shen Ruoqing came back, Shen Xiangdong asked, "Little sister, what did you just say to Officer Deng?"

Shen Ruoqing laughed and said, "Nothing. I just felt sorry for the child. I asked Officer Deng to take care of her."

After returning home, Shen Ruoqing was just about to go back to sleep when Captain Tang came.

"Ruoqing girl, why do you look like you haven't woken up yet?" Captain Tang came the next day specifically because he wanted Shen Ruoqing to have a good rest for a day. Unexpectedly, Shen Ruoqing still looked like she hadn't rested enough.

"Ah, I'm fine, Captain Tang, what are you doing here?"

"It's nothing, actually. Didn't your family's contribution of the prescription appear in the newspaper? Our commune said they would give you the title of Advanced Worker and Red Flag Bearer, and give you certain rewards. The commune asked me to ask you what kind of reward you want? Also, will your family receive a piglet this year?"

So that's what it is.

Shen Ruoqing thought for a moment and said, "We would like to get more industrial coupons or something. As for piglets, let's just raise ten. We can afford them."

Unexpectedly, Captain Tang waved his hand and said, "Because your family made so much money raising piglets last year, many families want to raise piglets this year, and there are not enough piglets. If your family still raises so many pigs this year, I'm afraid people will be jealous."

Old Lady Ji glared and said, "No one raised any last year. We raise so many, and that's our ability. Why are they jealous?"

Shen Ruoqing said, "Mom, it's okay. In fact, it's hard for you to raise so many. Just raise two less. Captain Tang, how many do you think would be appropriate for my family to raise?"

Captain Tang looked at Shen Ruoqing apologetically and said, "How about this? You can just raise four pigs this year. It's true that we don't have enough piglets. People in the nearby villages heard that you made thousands of yuan from raising piglets last year. This year, many families are raising pigs."

"Okay, four is fine." Shen Ruoqing agreed.

Old Mrs. Ji was very unhappy because this meant losing more than half of her income.

Captain Deng Tang left, but Old Lady Ji kept talking: "My dear, why did you agree to Captain Tang's request? Why do we care so much about other people? They didn't raise pigs last year, but now they are jealous of us when we raise pigs. They don't even think about how much food we have spent on raising these pigs. They are so cunning! Do they think pigs are so easy to raise? If the standards are not met by the end of the year, we will ask them to take the pigs back. It will make them cry!"

Shen Ruoqing looked at Old Lady Ji with a smile: "Yes, yes, let them cry until they die! Mom, I actually made some money from selling the prescriptions, I'll give it to you right away."

Shen Ruoqing wanted to make the old lady happy, so he took out a stack of big unity notes.

"My dear, just keep the money for yourself, why give it to me?" Old Mrs. Ji was very happy. She tried to refuse it twice, but she couldn't refuse it anymore so she took it. When she opened the money and counted it, she found a gold chain inside.

"Oh my god!" Old Mrs. Ji exclaimed, taking the gold chain in her hand and looking at it, "Where did you get this?"

"I bought it in the department store, Mom. Do you like it? Come, let me put it on you. I specially picked one with auspicious cloud pattern, which has a good meaning." Shen Ruoqing took the gold chain and was about to put it on Old Mrs. Ji.

"Okay, okay." Old Mrs. Ji was so happy that she stood there obediently, waiting for Shen Ruoqing to help her put it on.

"Mom, it's so beautiful!"

Shen Ruoqing took a mirror and looked at herself in front of Old Lady Ji.

"You know what, it's really pretty." Old Mrs. Ji turned around a little conceitedly, "My dearest is the most sensible and filial. I'm not old enough to be unable to move, but I'm enjoying your blessing. How much did this chain cost?"

Shen Ruoqing still had a smiling face: "Mom, it's not expensive. As long as you are happy to spend it, no matter how much money it costs, it is worth it. I will buy you a gold chain every year in the future."

"Where did you get so much money? Even if you have so much money, don't spend it recklessly. Save it well and use it as a dowry. Just one like this is enough for your mother. I will only wear it for a few years and then give it to you as a dowry in the future." Old Mrs. Ji said happily.
