540: I'm looking for him.
When the militia heard what the "little old lady" said, they immediately inquired:
"What's your daughter's relationship with Yu Daye? Are they a couple?"
The "little old lady" suddenly straightened her back and started cursing:
"What a rotten couple! That bastard kidnapped my daughter and I'm going to ask him to return her!"
"Your daughter?" The man with the mustache sized up the old lady's condition. "Your daughter can't be more than 40 or 50 years old, and she actually ran off with that Yu Daye?"
The little old lady was startled for a moment:
"Ah, the girl I picked up is only sixteen this year!"
As she spoke, she cried and cursed:
"You heartless bastard! I, an old woman, picked up this girl from a ditch when I was over fifty. I raised her with my bare hands, and we depended on each other for survival. I was counting on her to take care of me in my old age, but who knew that bastard Yu Daye would use sweet words to abduct my daughter and abandon me, an old woman? I'm looking for her now. I want to ask him where he hid my daughter. Let him come out! Come out now!"
"Alright, alright, stop yelling. Let's put it this way. Yu Daye was arrested for illegal reselling. You can get him out if you want. His crime isn't serious. He just sold a few pieces of meat. It's not enough to warrant a prison sentence. Go find his family and ask them to pay fifty yuan to get him out. We'll release him after they pay."
Yu Xiaoye understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. These militiamen were definitely not clean and were involved in both the black and white worlds. They were just taking the opportunity to blackmail him.
Fifty dollars?
Bah, I feel bad even spending five dollars!
Since the crime he committed is not serious enough to warrant sentencing, let him stay in there for now!
"If I could find his family, why would I come here to look for him? Do you want to let him go? If not, forget it. I'll wait here. When this bastard comes out, I'll settle the score with him!"
The militiamen looked disappointed when they saw that the old lady also knew nothing about Yu Daye's situation.
I had hoped to find out about Yu Daye's situation from the old lady and make a fortune, but I didn't expect that Yu Daye was really a lonely man and had no interpersonal relationships.
Since they couldn't get any benefits, they lost their patience with the old lady and said as they walked out:
"Then you just wait and come find him when he's released. Or, you can find a way to scrape together fifty dollars to bail him out."
As they were talking, several militiamen left.
Yu Xiaoye muttered in his heart: I can’t protect him at all!
These militiamen probably couldn't get any money out of him, so they let him go.
I'd better wait for a bargain.
Yu Xiaoye turned around and was about to leave with his cane.
Suddenly an old man in the yard called her:
"Hey, old sister!"
Yu Xiaoye turned around and saw an old man in his fifties walking out of the yard. The old man waved at Yu Xiaoye:
"Come, sister, let me tell you."
Seeing that the old man seemed quite kind, Yu Xiaoye quickly leaned on his cane and came over. He was about to call him "Uncle", but changed his words when it came to his mouth:
"Brother—"
The old man looked at the "little old lady" in front of him with sympathy:
"Did your daughter really get kidnapped by Yu Daye?"
"ah."
"Old sister, you are also a miserable person. Let me tell you, if you want to find Yu Daye, don't worry. I estimate that they will release him in a few days."
"Really? How did you know?"
"Don't I know? Yu Daye has been arrested for over half a month, and his identity cannot be found.
He boasted to others that Director Zhou of Mishan Farm was his brother-in-law, and asked the militia to look for his brother-in-law all day long, and his brother-in-law would definitely come to protect him.
Can you trust the militia? Who is he? Who is the farm manager? How could a dignified farm manager like Zhou marry his sister?
Look, I've been locked up for more than half a month, eating and drinking for free every day, and I have to be watched by someone.
The militiamen were already impatient. The Chinese New Year was approaching, and it was impossible for them to keep him here for the New Year.
It will probably be released in a few days. I'll check it out for you when the time comes, and you can just come over and find someone."
Yu Xiaoye didn't expect that the old man was so enthusiastic. There is true love in the world!
"Brother, you are such a good person!"
The old man once again took a look at the old lady's poor and shabby outfit, and said with a tear in his eye:
"Hey, I just can't bear to see you suffer, elder sister. It's so cold, and you're out there looking for someone with so little clothing. You have a miserable life!"
Yu Xiaoye was almost moved to tears by the old man, so he took the opportunity to cry twice, and then said:
"Brother, thank you for your help. I'll come every afternoon from now on. If they really want to let that bastard Yu Daye out, you must help me keep an eye on him. Oh, and don't untie him. It's better to tie him up."
"Okay, I know what to do, don't worry."
Yu Xiaoye looked at the old man with great emotion:
"Good man, what a good man!"
Yu Xiaoye walked away tremblingly, leaning on crutches.
After walking a distance, she looked back and saw that the old man behind her was gone. She quickly threw away the stick and ran away.
He ran back to the space, quickly took off his clothes, changed into thick clothes, and then ran towards the government compound as fast as he could.
From then on, every day, Yu Xiaoye would transform himself into the little old lady whose daughter was abducted, and run to the gate of the militia brigade to wait for Yu Daye to be released.
After waiting for three days, it was already the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month and the Chinese New Year was just a few days away. Xu Ying also called to urge them to go back for the New Year.
Yu Xiaoye thought about waiting for the last day.
If she is not released on the last day, then it doesn't matter. She will go home for the New Year and it doesn't matter when her elder brother is released.
Even if she was released on New Year's Eve and became homeless on the streets, she didn't care!
On his last day, Yu Xiaoye waited at the gate of the county militia brigade.
What a coincidence, when she arrived at the militia brigade gate
When I went outside, I heard Yu Daye jumping up and down and cursing:
"You damned old man, the militia captain has already let me go, why won't you let me go? Why?"
Perhaps because of the cold, Yu Daye's voice was a little trembling.
The old man from the militia brigade said indignantly:
"Why? Just because you kidnapped someone's daughter and abandoned her mother, I can't let you go!"
Yu Daye felt very aggrieved:
"When did I kidnap someone's daughter?"
"Don't admit it? It's easy to say no, but when I get here later, I'll confront you face to face and see if you still dare to deny it!"
"I want to see which damn old woman dares to slander me like this—I'm warning you, Director Zhou of Mishan Farm is my brother-in-law. If I ever let him out, I'll make sure you pay the price!"
"Bah! You're such a jerk, you don't admit what you should admit, and you make up stories that don't exist. You really can't stop talking!"
The two men were cursing at each other when Yu Xiaoye, leaning on a crutch, rushed into the courtyard of the militia brigade.
As soon as I entered, I saw Yu Daye with his hands tied behind his back, tied up in the barn with two mules.
