Chapter 99 Chapter 99 The child found in the trash can...

On the 26th, the family of three got up early.

Xia Qinqin rubbed her sleepy eyes and hummed in Meng Yufei's arms.

"Oh...Mom...I'm so sleepy..."

Meng Yufei patted her daughter on the back and said softly, "We are going to take the train today. Can mommy change your clothes for you?"

Xia Qinqin nodded: "Okay, I want to take the train."

Meng Yufei took out a pair of blue cotton trousers and a white short-sleeved shirt for her daughter to wear, and put a pink plaid jacket on the outside. The temperature was still a little cool in the morning.

The family of three had a simple breakfast without cooking. Xia Junshan bought some food in the canteen early in the morning.

After finishing his meal, Xia Junshan walked around the house again before locking the gate, carrying two suitcases in one hand and a plastic bag on his shoulder in the other.

Meng Yufei was wearing a military green backpack across her body and holding her daughter in her arms.

The correspondent Xiao Zhao was already waiting at the gate in his car. The family of three got in the car and went to the pier to catch the earliest ferry in the morning.

When we arrived at the Qiongzhou City Pier, Xia Junshan's comrades were already waiting there. They helped us carry our luggage onto the train and took us all the way to the train station.

"Thank you, Lao Zhao. I'll treat you to a drink next time you come back."

"Thank you, but I'll be waiting for the wine. I have to go back to work, so I'll be leaving now."

"Okay, go ahead and do your work. See you later."

Watching his comrades' car slowly driving away, Xia Junshan led his wife and daughter to the waiting hall. The train tickets had already been bought, so they just had to find a chair to sit down and wait for departure.

The hall was crowded with people, all carrying large and small bags. It was crowded and noisy. Meng Yufei held her daughter tightly in her arms the whole time, even when she was sitting on a chair, she held her in her arms and would not let go.

"Mom, I want to go to the bathroom." Xia Qinqin asked.

Meng Yufei nodded: "Okay, I'll take you there."

He turned to Xia Junshan and said, "You sit here. I'll take Qinqin to the toilet."

Xia Junshan nodded: "Okay, you guys go ahead."

The mother and daughter went to the restroom, where there was also a long queue, and many people were bringing their children.

The older sister behind Meng Yufei was holding one in her arms, carrying one on her back, and another standing by her legs.

The child in the eldest sister's arms was still crying. Seeing this, Meng Yufei gave her seat to her and let her go first.

"Thank you, sister. Your girl is quiet, unlike my boy who is very noisy."

Meng Yufei smiled but said nothing.

The toilet here is crowded, so the smell is inevitably unpleasant. Xia Qinqin has been holding her nose with her little hand and stretched out her other hand to cover Meng Yufei's nose.

Mom is hugging herself and has no hands to cover her, so let me cover it for her - Xia Qinqin thought.

Meng Yufei smiled gratefully at her daughter, and the mother and daughter touched their foreheads affectionately.

After finally going to the toilet, Meng Yufei took her daughter out to wash her hands, then took out her hand towel to wipe the water stains off her hands.

When Meng Yufei lowered her head, she didn't notice a woman holding a child walking by.

At this time, Xia Qinqin heard the familiar voice again.

"There are so many people here. If we leave her here, someone will probably take her away soon, right?"

"No, this is a valuable item. People don't want it. Otherwise, I'll just stuff it into the trash can and go back and say it was kidnapped by a kidnapper."

Xia Qinqin turned around and saw the familiar person. She immediately took Meng Yufei's hand, pointed over there and said, "Mom, it's that bad aunt."

"She said she would put the baby in her arms into the trash can so that the kidnapper could run away!"

Thanks to the popularization of science by adults, children already know what "拐子" means at an early age.

Meng Yufei paused and quickly looked in the direction her daughter pointed. It was Tong Caifeng, holding her youngest daughter, Zhaodi, in her arms.

Tong Caifeng looked around furtively and stopped in front of a large bamboo trash can in front of her and looked at it for a long time. After a while, she lowered her head to look at the child in her arms, as if thinking about something.

She lost her child on the bus last time. Is she going to lose him again this time?

After a while, Tong Caifeng queued into the women's restroom and disappeared from sight.

Meng Yufei picked up her daughter and went back to find Xia Junshan first.

Xia Qinqin leaned over to Meng Yufei's ear and whispered, "Mom, that bad aunt is so bad. She always wants to lose the baby in her arms. Why don't we pick up the baby and bring him back?"

Meng Yufei whispered, "It's not our child. If we take it back, that bad aunt can take it back anytime."

Xia Qinqin pouted and said, "That baby is so pitiful, let's hand it over to the police uncle." - The teacher said that if you pick up something, you should hand it over to the police uncle.

Meng Yufei shook her head gently and said, "The police uncle will send the child to the parents. That bad aunt is the child's parent, so she will be sent back to the bad aunt."

"Ah, why? That bad aunt is about to abandon the baby. Can't she find a new parent for the baby?"

Meng Yufei paused and said, "Let's go discuss it with Dad."

Xia Junshan saw the mother and daughter coming back with heavy faces and asked in surprise, "What happened?"

Meng Yufei sat beside him holding her daughter and whispered to him what had just happened.

Xia Junshan was not surprised when he heard this. He just said, "Since she has decided to abandon the child, we can't stop her just once or twice."

Indeed, just like I stopped her once last time, but she started again today. Even if I stop her today, what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

Meng Yufei said angrily, "This Tong Caifeng, that's her own daughter! Even if we take a step back, isn't she afraid that she won't be able to explain to Captain Fang if the child is lost?"

Xia Junshan sighed slightly and said, "These days, having too many children is not worth much. There are many families who have lost their children. After all, if a child is lost, it is lost. If you want, you can have another one. If you keep it at home, you have to keep feeding it all the time."

Meng Yufei thought about it and said helplessly: "Are we just going to watch her throw the child into the trash can?"

Xia Junshan thought for a moment and said, "Let's take the child back later and not return her to them yet. Otherwise, if we return her here, we won't know where she's lost again."

"Well, okay." Meng Yufei nodded in agreement. She looked around and said, "We can go and test the attitude of the leader first. I wonder if he will come with us."

Xia Junshan said: "They should come together. I heard that he is also going back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year."

The couple searched for a long time in the crowded waiting hall and finally saw Captain Fang with two little girls beside him.

From a distance, I saw Tong Caifeng walking past, this time with empty hands and no sign of the child.

The couple looked at each other, and Meng Yufei stuffed her daughter into Xia Junshan's arms and said, "I'll go find the child." Then she turned and walked towards the toilet.

"Mom, Mom! I want to go too..." Xia Qinqin struggled in Xia Junshan's arms.

Xia Junshan held his daughter in his arms and coaxed her, "Mom is going to look for the lost child. You stay here with Dad and wait for her to come back together, okay?"

Xia Qinqin looked at her mother's hurriedly leaving back, then looked up at her father and nodded, "Oh..."

Xia Junshan gently touched his daughter's head and said softly, "Don't worry, Mom will be back soon."

After coaxing his daughter, Xia Junshan squinted his eyes and looked towards Captain Fang's house. He saw Tong Caifeng wiping her tears and saying something to Captain Fang in front of her. Then Captain Fang looked anxious, as if he was scolding Tong Caifeng.

Then, Captain Fang went to find the station staff.

At this time, Meng Yufei came back with the child in her arms. The child in her arms was not crying and was still sleeping.

After Meng Yufei sat down with the child in her arms, Xia Junshan said, "Sit here for a while. I'll go see what's going on."

"Yeah." Meng Yufei nodded.

Xia Junshan carried his daughter to the side of Director Fang, who was talking to the station staff at the time.

"Can you please use the radio to ask if anyone has seen my child?"

The station staff nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away."

Tong Caifeng stopped the staff and said, "Don't use the loudspeaker to shout. The child was abducted by kidnappers and has already run away. There is no point in shouting."

Leader Fang said angrily, "Tong Caifeng, what do you do for a living? How can you lose a child? Why are you going to the door for no reason?"

Tong Caifeng said, "What can I do? I just wanted to go out for some fresh air, but there was a kidnapper standing at the door. He snatched the child away in a flash, and I couldn't catch up with him."

She clearly threw the child near the toilet, but she said she lost it at the door, obviously not wanting anyone to find it.

Leader Fang said: "Then call the police!"

Tong Caifeng immediately said, "What's the point of calling the police? So many children are kidnapped every year, and few are found."

Head Fang glared at her and said angrily, "So, you just don't care?"

Tong Caifeng muttered, "It's just a little girl, if she's lost, then it's lost."

Captain Fang choked and started arguing with Tong Caifeng again.

Xia Junshan came over and asked, "Lao Fang, what's going on?"

When Captain Fang saw Xia Junshan, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Old Xia, why are you here?"

Xia Junshan asked, "I am going back to Hai City to celebrate the New Year. Are you going back to your hometown as well?"

Leader Fang nodded: "Yes, I was just sitting here waiting for the bus. Who knew that this spendthrift woman had lost her child?"

"The child is lost?" Xia Junshan pretended to be surprised.

Team leader Fang nodded: "Yes, she insisted on taking the child to the toilet, and after she was done she went to the door to get some fresh air, and the child was snatched away by the kidnapper when she wasn't paying attention."

Xia Junshan said, "You just said you wanted to call the police. I happen to have a comrade who works at the Public Security Bureau in the city. I'll go with you."

Leader Fang nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help."

With that, the two of them were about to leave.

Tong Caifeng's eyes rolled, and she immediately pulled Captain Fang and said, "Our train is about to leave. Are you leaving now? Are you not going back home?"

Team leader Fang looked at his watch and saw that they still had twenty minutes to go before departure.

"Well...why don't we go back tomorrow and find the child first?" said Captain Fang.

Tong Caifeng rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't you say that tickets were hard to buy? Can you buy tickets for tomorrow?"

Leader Fang said: "If we can't buy it, we won't go back!"

Tong Caifeng snorted and said, "You're not going back? I've already sent a telegram to tell your parents. We're taking the train today and will arrive at your hometown tomorrow. You've only been back once in a few years. Your relatives and elders are all waiting for you at home. How are you going to explain to your family that you're not going back all of a sudden?"

After saying this, Captain Fang frowned and fell silent.

Tong Caifeng asked again: "Are you going to tell them that you have thrown away all the respect from your parents, elders and relatives just to find a girl?"

Captain Fang gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Seeing this, Tong Caifeng raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "How about this, let's get in the car first, and then call the police when we get back. If the child is destined to be with us, we will always find him."

Seeing that Captain Fang had remained silent, Xia Junshan roughly understood what he meant and said, "How about I go and call the police for you? You guys get in the car first."

Leader Fang raised his head and said gratefully, "Really? Thank you, Old Xia. I... I really have no choice, eh!"

Tong Caifeng's expression froze, and she glared at Xia Junshan fiercely, thinking: You are really meddling in other people's business! He ruined my plan last time, and this time if you find the girl again, she will throw her into the river, and see if you can still find her!

After hearing these vicious remarks, Xia Qinqin shrank her shoulders and hugged Xia Junshan's neck tightly.

Feeling his daughter's fear, Xia Junshan patted her shoulder comfortingly.

Then, he glanced at Tong Caifeng indifferently with a chilling look in his eyes. Tong Caifeng withdrew her gaze guiltily, not daring to look into his eyes.
