"So what do we do now?" Xia Lan looked at Qin Yu and gently took his hand.
Qin Yu naturally took her hand, giving her courage.
"Go back to the city. Don't go back to the village until the new house is built."
"Are we going to build a new house in the village?" Xia Lan was taken aback; she had no idea about this.
“My third and seventh uncles left me a piece of land that I never touched. I used to live alone and it didn’t matter what kind of house I lived in, but now that I’ve married you, I can’t let you suffer.”
"I want to use your name to build this house."
Qin Yu gently squeezed Xia Lan's hand and said casually.
Xia Lan looked up at Qin Yu in shock, her eyes burning with passion.
This man never just talked about how good he was to her; he always showed it through his actions.
"Why are you crying?" Qin Yu was taken aback. He wanted to wipe away Xia Lan's tears, but Xia Lan was holding his hand, and he awkwardly wiped away her tears with his other hand.
Xia Lan shook her head.
Seeing that Xia Lan had stopped crying, Qin Yu took her hand and walked outside.
"By the way, Old Du has been sent to the pigsty, so you don't need to worry about him anymore."
"Where are we going now?" Xia Lan asked curiously.
"I'll take you to town to give your statement, and then we'll go back to the city. I've already packed your things." Qin Yu led Xia Lan home.
Xia Lan walked into the room and was stunned to see that everything inside was broken.
After she fell into a coma, those two people smashed up her house?
But the furniture left by her parents was completely undamaged.
Only Qin Yu's was broken...
Qin Yu secretly touched his nose and glanced at Xia Lan guiltily.
He smashed all of these.
"I've packed the little box your parents gave you. Is there anything else you need to pack?"
"Brother Yu, shall we go?"
Xia Lan didn't say anything more, but smiled at Qin Yu.
Qin Yu, carrying his belongings, and Xia Lan prepared to go to town.
As they passed the village entrance, the village women saw the two of them and couldn't help but ask.
"Stone, where are you taking your wife? With that bag you're carrying, are you not coming back to the village?"
"Xia, are you alright? I heard you were unconscious for three days. Are you okay?"
"Why are you leaving without even getting some rest?"
"You should get your health back first..."
Qin Yu smiled at the group of aunties. "Thank you for your concern, aunties. There's no place for her at home, so I'm planning to take her back to the city to recuperate..."
After saying that, he pulled Xia Lan towards the village entrance.
As soon as I reached the village entrance, I saw a person standing by the roadside.
Xia Lan was stunned. The person standing at the village entrance was actually Aunt Zhong.
Aunt Zhong stood at the village entrance and saw Xia Lan and Qin Yu. She immediately went up to them, pulled them aside, and threw a bag into Xia Lan's arms.
"Auntie?" Xia Lan looked at the auntie in front of her who didn't like to talk. She was holding something in her hand and smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.
"Go back and have Qin Yu brew it for you!" Aunt Zhong looked at Qin Yu, who nodded.
Aunt Zhong received a response from Qin Yu and glanced at Xia Lan.
"Find a way to spend the money; you're being too flashy."
After saying that, Aunt Zhong turned and left.
Xia Lan was stunned for a moment, then returned to Qin Yu's side, and Qin Yu patted her head.
Aunt Zhong likes you very much.
"She reminded me that I was being too flashy," Xia Lan said, looking at Qin Yu.
"What excuse are you making to spend the money? Didn't I already say I bought my job?"
"Not enough."
Qin Yu's eyes darkened, and he took Xia Lan's hand and walked towards the town.
"After I send you to the city, I plan to go back to the village and build a house. Then I'll announce to the outside world that you paid for the house, and no one will keep an eye on you anymore."
Qin Yu's words made Xia Lan pause. "Does that mean they'll have to separate?"
Qin Yu thought Xia Lan would be happy, but Xia Lan's eyes suddenly dimmed...
"Why are you suddenly unhappy?" Qin Yu asked, thinking that he had said something wrong to upset Xia Lan.
Xia Lan shook her head and silently walked forward.
Even after entering the town, Qin Yu couldn't guess why Xia Lan was suddenly unhappy. He thought it was because the experience of almost being sold made her feel that the village was unsafe.
Little did anyone expect that Xia Lan simply didn't want to be separated from him.
Xia Lan entered the town and saw that the environment and shops were much worse than in the county town. Xia Lan followed Qin Yu to the town's police station.
As soon as Xia Lan and Qin Yu entered, the police officers inside stood up, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What can I do for you, comrades?"
"Hello, I am Qin Yu from Shanghe Village, and this is my wife, Xia Lan. We are here to give our statements!" Qin Yu explained to the police.
"You've arrived. Come with me!" Upon hearing that it was Shanghe Village, the police officer in charge of the case looked up and waved to the two men.
"Hello, I'm Liu Ming from your case team. You must be Xia Lan? Please come with me!" Liu Ming glanced at Xia Lan and Qin Yu, then smiled warmly at Xia Lan.
"Thank you for your trouble." Qin Yu nodded to Xia Lan, who followed Liu Ming into the interrogation room, while Qin Yu stood at the door waiting.
Inside the interrogation room, Liu Ming looked at Xia Lan, referring to her basic information.
"Comrade Xia Lan, could you please tell me the whole story in detail?"
Liu Ming looked at Xia Lan, hoping she could explain in as much detail as possible.
“Okay,” Xia Lan replied, and then told Liu Ming everything she could remember from that night.
"You mean, you heard them say with your own ears that your husband wasn't home... someone paid two hundred to have you handed over to human traffickers?" Liu Ming asked with a grim face.
This confirms the facts: someone was indeed deliberately targeting Xia Lan, and the circumstances were extremely egregious!
“Yes. I heard it with my own ears!” Xia Lan nodded.
"Because if they hadn't done it on purpose, the door was locked when I found them, and they should have been scared away. But they insisted on rushing in to grab me," Xia Lan said earnestly to Liu Ming.
"Because I was under the influence of sleeping powder, I didn't dare to shout. I wet my clothes with water and covered my mouth to avoid inhaling the smoke. Otherwise, I might not have even felt anything when I was carried away."
“They were prepared when they arrived, determined not to give up until they achieved their goal.”
Xia Lan analyzed.
Liu Ming listened to Xia Lan's logical analysis and glanced at her in surprise.
"Comrade Xia Lan, you are so strong."
Other women would have been terrified if they encountered something like this.
However, Xia Lan was still able to rationally wet her clothes to prevent herself from inhaling the drug, remaining very calm.
"It's not that I'm strong, I'm scared too, otherwise I wouldn't have been unconscious for three days from being too frightened," Xia Lan said with an embarrassed smile.
“But in that emergency, my husband wasn’t with me. If I hadn’t acted rationally and tried to save myself, I might really be finished now.”
