Cheng Jin was also worried about this. Now that they've been hurt so deeply, they've said some hurtful things in the heat of the moment. Anyone can say that. The two children are going to live their own lives, and the real difficulties are yet to come.
What are your plans?
Da Niu breathed a sigh of relief. Being able to escape that family and get part of the compensation back was already an unexpected blessing for them. Looking at his younger brother, he still sincerely pleaded with Cheng Jin.
"Uncle Cheng, I still want to take my younger brother to the countryside,"
"Have you thought it through? Neither of you can do any heavy work in the countryside, and you won't get many work points anyway."
“I know, sir. This county town is only so big, and it’s inevitable that we’ll run into them. We’re in the right right now, but after all, it’s the younger generation talking back to the elders. If this goes on for too long, it won’t be good for us either.”
It would be better if we just went far away and lived our own lives. It wouldn't matter if we got fewer work points, and my brother and I could live a peaceful life.
Look at Erniu, he's eight years old, about the same age as a five or six-year-old. He's so old, and he's rarely had a proper meal. His body is covered in injuries. Even with his mother, he lives like an orphan. I just want him to have a few good days.
"OK,"
Cheng Jin felt a tightness in his chest, and he had to forcefully suppress it to refrain from attacking Li Xiulian on the spot. Looking at the mottled scars on Er Niu's arm, he felt even more choked up.
Seeing this, the police patted him on the shoulder.
"Don't worry too much. We've registered her, and we'll keep a closer eye on her movements in the future to prevent her from disturbing the two children's lives."
Have you decided whether to go to the countryside? Is there anywhere you'd like to go?
The two children shook their heads blankly, as they had no other relatives besides Li Xiulian.
"If you don't know where to go, why don't you go to Liujiatun? It's not far from the garrison camp. If you need anything, you can come find me, and we'll go up the mountain over there too."
The people there are simple and honest, and the village chief is quite nice; he won't bully anyone. Moreover…
Cheng Jin turned around and pointed to Jian Dan.
"Besides, this older sister is over there too. If you have anything urgent, you can go to her first and ask her to help you find me. It will be faster."
Although he felt sorry for the child, Cheng Jin wouldn't cause trouble for him, so he was quite cautious in his words. He would not mind helping to find someone if it was really urgent.
She hadn't figured out when these two people had met, and she wouldn't make any promises, but what Cheng Jin said was true.
"Yes, the village chief and villagers of Liujiatun are all nice and friendly. If you don't cause trouble, you won't be bullied."
At this moment, the two children were isolated and helpless, feeling uncertain. The only person they could trust was Cheng Jin. Upon hearing this, they immediately agreed, and the police also expressed their support.
"Don't worry, I'll personally deliver it to the educated youth office and explain the situation there. Your brother's child is our child, so you can rest assured."
After the farce, when the police left with the two boys, a large crowd had already gathered outside the courtyard gate, including neighbors and teenagers they had seen on the way there.
In this day and age, no matter who you are, there are only a few types of people you fear, and there were two types right here. These kids were all hiding and dared not make a sound.
They may cause trouble normally, but they can still distinguish between the big and small kings. Not to mention them, even their leaders have to treat these two groups with respect.
In other places, there might be a saying that the East Wind prevails over the West Wind, but here, it can be said that all parties tacitly agree not to interfere with each other, but they dare not go too far when dealing with these two departments.
This place is different from big cities. It's near the border, and there are constant disputes. The blood on the hands and the menacing aura of the law enforcement officers here are real. They can scare children to tears just by standing there. With that kind of confidence, who would dare to act recklessly?
Soldiers stood solemnly inside the compound, while police officers with stern faces stood at the gate; the scene was completely silent.
Gossip is human nature, and since they were all neighbors, the police knew about it and didn't hide it. They immediately told everyone about the child's ordeal, emphasizing that the families and descendants of martyrs are protected by the state, and that such cases would not be tolerated.
Immediately, several people covered their faces and quietly slipped out of the crowd.
Seeing this, Cheng Jin's head throbbed even more. He thought to himself that he needed to come up with a solution as soon as he got back.
After everyone dispersed, Cheng Jin suddenly remembered that he had come with a mission.
"Dandan, did we miss the time?"
"ah?"
She quickly understood Cheng Jin's meaning, beckoned him into the house, and pointed directly to the stove hole.
"It's been delivered,"
Upon hearing this, the group immediately tensed up and began searching their surroundings. Cheng Jin also became nervous.
When did you arrive?
How did this person get in? How did none of them notice?
Each of them reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, quickly offering a brief explanation.
"You've misunderstood. It wasn't just now; it was delivered a while ago."
"you?"
Cheng Jin was incredulous.
"It was delivered a long time ago, and it's just been left here?"
"Yeah! When I contacted him last time, I mentioned this place, and he didn't want to run into it to avoid an awkward situation later."
Cheng Jin pointed at her, unsure what to say; this child was too carefree.
Why didn't you say so sooner? Weren't you afraid someone else would poach you?
"Oh dear, is this it? Quick, quick, hurry!"
The people behind him darted past with a "whoosh," and Jian Dan didn't forget to remind them.
"Slow down, to the left, feel inwards, the fourth brick, the upper right corner, press down hard,"
Even Cheng Jin, a veteran of countless battles, was somewhat surprised.
"Did you install a trap in the kang (heated brick bed)?"
"No, isn't this the house my brother found? We discovered it by chance,"
Cheng Jin watched her make up nonsense with a straight face, and then unintentionally discovered...?
Cheng Chao bought this house just to use as a place to stay in case of emergency. He probably didn't even know there was a hidden mechanism inside. It was just a coincidence that she discovered it by accident.
The kang (heated brick bed) opening wasn't big, and it was Wang Xiaohu, the smallest of the group, who crawled inside. Someone squatted outside, shining a flashlight on him, and all that could be heard was him banging and groping around inside. Cheng Jin, listening anxiously from outside, watched.
"Did you find it? Is the place right? Feel it carefully, it's the fourth brick, in the upper right corner, don't go to the wrong one."
It's so simple it makes you want to laugh.
"Uncle, don't worry, it's already in there, how could it not be taken out?"
Cheng Jin stared without looking up, casually waving his hand twice.
"You don't understand, you don't understand. Just looking at it isn't enough. You can only feel at ease if you have it in your hands."
Okay, I guess you could call that a unique personality trait.
As expected, after waiting for a long time, a crisp sound finally rang out.
"It's open, it's open, guild leader, we've found it."
"good!"
Cheng Jin excitedly turned to look at Jian Dan, who gave a slight smile.
"good!"
It was easy for her to put it in, but then she had to go through all the trouble of getting it out, and it felt like her brain wasn't quite up to the task.
