Chapter 375 Lou Er's End
Zeng Xiaojuan, who had been standing there in a daze without any reaction, suddenly brightened up her eyes and looked towards Xu Zhichun eagerly.
Zeng Xiaoyan held Xu Zhichun's hand, tears welling up in her eyes as she sobbed, "Sister-in-law Zhichun."
"Don't cry, it's okay."
Xu Zhichun gently squeezed Zeng Xiaoyan's hand and stepped forward to say, "Aunt Xiaojuan, although Qiao'er is young, she is smart and capable. She will be fine. So many people have gone to look for her. How far can such a small person run? We will find her. If you fall ill and Qiao'er comes back, who will take care of her? She will be distressed to see you like this."
Zeng Xiaojuan's lips trembled, and tears fell like beads falling from a string. She covered her face and cried loudly.
Zeng Xiaoyan and others hurried to pat and comfort him.
The headman's wife and other older wives secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It was better to cry it out than to hold it in.
Xu Zhichun said that he and Nanny Qin Qing would stay with Zeng Xiaojuan tonight. After a while, he politely asked everyone to go back. Zeng Xiaoyan was pregnant and could not stay here all the time, so everyone left one after another.
Now that no one was around, Xu Zhichun briefly told Zeng Xiaojuan what he and Liang Minglang had seen during the day.
Although she repeatedly emphasized that she did not see Qiao'er, Zeng Xiaojuan became excited all of a sudden.
"It must be him! It must be him!"
"I said Qiao'er is so well-behaved. Even if she goes out to play on weekdays, she won't be gone for long. She always tells me before going. She clearly said she would be back after a while, so how could she run around?"
"He's so cruel and hateful! Qiao'er is his own flesh and blood!"
"No, I have to go pick up Qiaoer and take her home. Qiaoer must be very scared. I have to go pick her up."
"Aunt, calm down," Xu Zhichun said. "Don't worry. If Qiao'er is really in the county government office, Lord Lu will definitely have someone take good care of them. It's already dark, and the city gates are closed. We can't get in. Besides, it's late at night. Can we really knock on the county government gate? How about going early tomorrow morning?"
"Qiao'er is very sensible. She can take care of herself."
"Besides, I'm just guessing. It's hard to say for sure. Maybe everyone has found Qiao'er."
Zeng Xiaojuan was stunned for a moment. Yes, wait a little longer, wait a little longer.
It will be fine by daybreak.
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
This night was very difficult. The mountains around the village were searched thoroughly, but there was no sign of Qiaoer.
The next morning, before entering the city, I didn't expect that County Magistrate Lu had already sent someone to bring Qiao'er back.
Everyone was surprised!
Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang had some idea in their minds. After all, they had helped County Magistrate Lu so much. Once it was confirmed that there was a child from Liangjia Village, County Magistrate Lu would order someone to send the child back as soon as possible, which could be regarded as repaying the favor to the two of them.
The yamen runner who brought Qiao'er back was not vague at all. He told the truth except for not involving Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang.
Shocked the whole village!
Zeng Xiaojuan hugged Qiao'er and cried.
"Lou Er? Qiao'er's biological father! Oh my God!"
"I was wondering why Qiao'er, such a well-behaved girl would run away? Turns out it was her biological father who coaxed her away. No wonder."
"What biological father? Is he still a human being? Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs."
“Who says it’s not?”
"Luckily, Lord Lu was so wise that he found Qiao'er. Otherwise, my God, who would have thought of that Lou Er? I would never have thought of that. Wouldn't Qiao'er be——"
"well"
The villagers all shuddered.
Lou Eryi and his accomplices were escorted to the provincial capital.
Lou Er, as the newest member of the gang, received the lightest sentence, a ten-year prison sentence. The others were repeat offenders, and their sentences would be announced after their involvement in other trafficking cases was fully investigated. They would either be exiled to the salt works or the mines, enslaved for life, or beheaded; in short, they would never be free.
It was ridiculous that when this matter spread to Loujia Village, the Lou family was shocked. Aunt Lou San actually had the nerve to bring her family to Liangjia Village to try to "settle accounts" with Zeng Xiaojuan.
Third Aunt Lou sobbed and cursed Zeng Xiaojuan, "This little bitch is the second son's flesh and blood. As a father, even if I sell her off, it's only natural. You're such a vicious bitch! You must have done something to harm my second son!"
Lou Er's family's reputation was ruined. Who would want to be associated with them? Liang Lizheng ordered them to be driven out of the village.
"If there was a famine, children couldn't bear to watch their parents starve to death, and some would sell themselves to support them. But I don't think your family is that poor. Selling your own child is truly heartless!"
"Your son not only sold Qiao'er, but also participated in the trafficking of other children. That's why Lord Lu arrested him. What are you doing here in Liangjia Village making trouble?"
"If you have the guts, go to the county government office and make trouble."
"He's so right, what are you afraid of? Lord Lu is the most reasonable."
"Hurry up and leave, or you'll be chased away. Don't come here again. You are not welcome in Liangjia Village."
The villagers were all disgusted and shared a common hatred for the enemy.
"Yes, let's go!"
"Don't come here again, or I'll chase you away every time I see you."
"Who knows what you are up to, haha."
Lou Er was capable of such a heartless act, so who knew if the Lou family would do the same? He couldn't afford to gamble on that possibility.
Aunt Lou cried bitterly, and the whole family left Liangjia Village in a mess.
Unexpectedly, Loujia Village could no longer accommodate them and expelled them from the clan.
They are not allowed to set foot in the village.
The reason was the same: Lou Er was a worthless person, and Lou Da wasn't much better either. Who knew if Lou Da would do anything evil? Besides, Lou Er had already ruined the reputation of Loujia Village, so who would tolerate them? They were just driven away.
Who can tolerate child trafficking?
The Lou family was panicked and begged for mercy, but no one in Loujia Village stood up for them or spoke for them. They just coldly forced them to get out.
Aunt Lou was very funny. She ran to Xu Zhichun's farm and begged Liang Xiaoman with a sad face to take her family in.
"Your farm is on the edge of Loujia Village, not in the village itself. Staying in your farm is like leaving Loujia Village. We can do any kind of work. Please, Manager Liang, have mercy on our lonely family. We really have nowhere else to go."
"Please, Manager Liang, please!"
"The evil things that Lao Er did have nothing to do with us. We will do our job well and will not cause any trouble for Manager Liang."
Liang Xiaoman was so angry that she laughed, and told someone to close the door and ignore him.
He didn't even need to ask Aunt Zhichun because she knew there was no way she would take in this family.
This family really thinks about it.
Does he look like such a confused person?
Aunt Lou San and her family stayed outside the village for two days and two nights as if they were playing tricks on them, but no one paid any attention to them.
Liang Xiaoman was not in a position to send people to drive them away. After all, they were from Loujia Village, not Zhuangzi. Anyway, it was enough that they could not set foot in Zhuangzi.
If Lou Lizheng didn't take any action, he would complain to Aunt Zhichun.
It doesn't make sense that Loujia Village would deal with these scum in such a dirty way and allow them to come and disgust the neighbors, right?
