When Lin Yuexi heard this, her head buzzed and she felt dizzy, but she immediately forced herself to calm down. She grabbed Wang Lijuan's shoulders tightly with both hands and asked hurriedly, "What happened? When did they disappear? Don't worry, tell me slowly."
Wang Lijuan gasped for air, her eyes full of anxiety and self-blame: "Every time you handed them over to me, I either asked Xiaomei to bring them back or went to pick them up myself. I didn't expect that the first graders finished school half an hour earlier today, and Xiaomei finished school a little later.
When I got to school, Teacher Wang Hongmei had already closed the classroom door and gone home. My Xiaomei had just finished school and had no idea where Ziyan and Xiyun were..."
"Have you asked Captain Li to help call someone to look for him..." Lin Yuexi was anxious!
"Your second brother has already told Captain Li, and the young men in the village have also gone out to look for him, but there is no trace of him, so I hurried here to wait for you and see what to do next."
Wang Lijuan was so anxious that she was at a loss. She had never expected that such a big mistake would happen with the two children that Lin Yuexi entrusted her to take care of.
Lin Yuexi was extremely anxious when she learned that the village had sent people to look for the child, but there was still no news of the child.
She suppressed her inner panic and said to Wang Lijuan, "We can't just sit there and wait. I'll go look around the school. You can ask if any of the children's classmates have seen them go in that direction."
After saying that, Lin Yuexi ran towards the school.
Along the way, all kinds of terrible scenes kept appearing in her mind, and her steps became more and more disorderly.
She shouted the children's names in the streets and fields around the school. Her voice had become hoarse, but the only response she got was an empty echo.
At this time, in a remote corner of Taohua Village, an unknown transaction was taking place.
Li Sangru and Lin Dashan, the evil mother and son, are bargaining with the human traffickers for Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun, who were knocked unconscious by them.
"Boss Wang, this boy and girl are both 6 years old and look so good. Can you give me a price of 500 yuan each..." Li Sangru said to Boss Wang.
"Are you crazy? You want to sell these two children for 1,000 yuan, but I can't even sell them for 1,000 yuan. I'll sell them for 200 yuan each. It's up to you whether you want to sell them or not..." said the boss Wang.
"Boss Wang, these two are my nephews. Their sister and brother-in-law passed away, and we raised them until they were 6 years old. We really don't want to let them go. We really can't raise them anymore, so we want you to help us find two good families to raise them.
But you give us 200 yuan each, and we have raised them for 6 years, but we haven’t even gotten our capital back? ” Lin Dashan begged.
"Go...go...stop giving me these high-sounding words. You take me for a fool. If you really couldn't bear to sell it, you wouldn't have come to me.
Moreover, these two children look fair and plump, and they are still in school. Are they really the nephews you raised? Are you kidding me?" Boss Wang said impatiently.
When Li Sangru and Lin Dashan heard Boss Wang say this, their faces turned pale and red, but their greedy nature made them unwilling to give in easily.
She rolled her eyes, quickly pulled Boss Wang's arm, and said with a flattering smile: "Boss Wang, look at what you said, although we live a tight life, we won't do anything that is against the will of heaven and earth!
These two children are indeed my nephew and niece. If my family was really in dire straits, how could I bear to give them up? Please be kind and add a little more. 300 yuan each, this is already the lowest price. We have to give an explanation to the spirit of the child's father in heaven, right?"
Boss Wang snorted coldly, shook off Li Sangru's hand, and said disdainfully: "Don't try to play tricks on me! I've been in this business for so many years, I've seen everything. You two kids are from unknown backgrounds, and I haven't even bothered with you yet! 250 yuan each, I won't pay a cent more, so forget it if you don't want to sell it!"
Lin Dashan was listening on the side. Although he was anxious, he also knew that Boss Wang was not someone who could be easily fooled.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Boss Wang, 250 is an unlucky number! How about 280? These two kids are smart and clever, and it's definitely worth the price. And you know, the situation is tense now, and it's not easy for us to get these two kids out. What a huge risk!"
After hearing this, Boss Wang's face darkened and he said viciously, "How dare you mention the risk to me? I'm helping you, don't be ungrateful! It's only 250 yuan, otherwise you will have to find a way to deal with these two children by yourself. If you get caught, don't blame me for not warning you."
Li Sangru and Lin Dashan looked at each other, their eyes full of helplessness and unwillingness.
They knew that if they continued to stalemate, they might not get a penny and would get into trouble. Li Sangru sighed and said, "Boss Wang, you are so smart. Okay, 250 is 250, but you have to promise me to take them away from here as soon as possible. ..."
Boss Wang sneered and said, "Humph, do you even need to tell me that? I've been in this business for many years and I've never had any problems. You guys should keep your mouths shut and don't let anyone know what's going on."
Li Sangru and Lin Dashan smiled flatteringly, "Of course, you should take them away now!"
"You don't have to worry about this..." After saying that, he waved his hand, and a nimble young man drove over in an ox cart.
Two people got off the cart, carried Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun onto the ox cart, put them on the straw, and then covered them with a thick layer of straw.
After everything was arranged, Boss Wang also got on the ox cart, and the ox cart started slowly. Li Sangru and Lin Dashan stood there, looking at the ox cart going away, and they were ecstatic.
Li Sangru sneered, "Lin Yuexi, you damned girl, I raised you up and found you a good marriage, and you dare not respect me. Don't you regard these two children as your own eyes? Then I will sell them and make you never find them. Let you have a taste of what it feels like to lose them."
"Mom, stop talking. It will be terrible if someone hears us. Let's go back!" Lin Dashan was frightened by her expression and voice.
"It's okay. This matter is known to heaven, earth, me, and you. No other three people will know about it.
Oh, you can’t tell your dad…”
"Mom, don't worry! I'm not that stupid."
"That's good. With these 600 yuan, I will go find matchmaker Wang to find you a good marriage tomorrow."
After saying this, the two of them happily went home with their ill-gotten gains in their hands.
Along the way, Li Sangru was thinking about how to use the money to find a beautiful wife for Lin Dashan so that her family would have more face in the village.
Although Lin Dashan felt a little guilty, he was gradually dazzled by his mother's constant nagging.
