The two waited until after twelve o'clock before people from the Armed Forces and the Public Security Bureau came down from the mountain.
They were all equipped with guns. There were two female police officers among them, supporting a pregnant woman.
There were three women following behind, including Lu Yiming's cousin Lu Lingling.
Her eyes were dull, her hair was messy, her clothes were dirty, and she walked with a limp, looking a little awkward.
"Lu Lingling?" Lu Yiming took a few steps forward and looked at the miserable person in front of him with a bit of disbelief.
Is this his arrogant cousin?
When Lu Lingling heard the familiar voice, she slowly raised her head, and when she saw Lu Yiming, she rushed towards him, crying loudly.
“Brother…” His voice was miserable, and one could tell from the sound that he had suffered a great injustice.
Lu Yiming quickly grabbed her shoulders and took two steps back.
Seeing Lu Lingling in such a miserable state, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't let her throw herself into his arms.
Because she was so dirty and smelly.
He was just her cousin, not her parents. It was good enough that he had tried his best to find her. He couldn't provide anything else.
The leader of the team asked Lu Yiming, "Do you know each other? Who is this female comrade to you?"
Lu Yiming explained: "Hello, leader, I am from Yangquan City, and this is my cousin. She was deceived by human traffickers when she was visiting relatives."
The leader looked him over and said, "Bring your ID and go to the Public Security Bureau to complete the formalities before you can take the person away."
"Okay, thank you, leader. You have worked hard."
Han Zhenyu and Lu Yiming rode their bicycles and followed those cars to the Public Security Bureau.
After completing the formalities, Lu Yiming already knew what Lu Lingling had been experiencing over the past few days.
She was changed hands twice by human traffickers and was finally sold to three hunter brothers from the Lishu Brigade as their wives. She has been tortured severely in the past few days.
Lu Yiming was very angry after hearing this. He frowned and asked, "Leader, are we just going to let this matter go? Aren't we going to hold the traffickers and buyers accountable?"
The police officer in charge of registration said helplessly: "We haven't found the traffickers yet. The three brothers didn't admit that they bought the child. They said the traffickers cheated them and said your cousin is the trafficker's daughter and accepted their betrothal gifts."
Lu Yiming knew that if he couldn’t find the human traffickers, there would be no evidence to prove the crime.
He sighed and decided to take the person back first and tell his uncle and aunt about it. Let them decide whether to avenge their daughter or not.
Anyway, he won't care about it anymore. It has delayed a lot of his work in the past few days.
After completing the formalities, Han Zhenyu and Lu Yiming took the person out of the Public Security Bureau.
"Go to my house to pack up, stay for one night, and leave tomorrow." Han Zhenyu said.
Lu Yiming waved his hand and said, "Zhenyu, I won't go to your house. Tell your sister-in-law and the children, and I'll come to see them later."
Han Zhenyu looked at the embarrassed Lu Lingling and knew that it was not very convenient.
He nodded and said, "Then I'll go open a guesthouse and let your sister clean it up."
"Thank you, Zhenyu." Lu Yiming ruffled his hair irritably, took Lu Lingling to the supply and marketing cooperative nearby, and bought her a set of ready-made clothes.
It took an hour for Lu Lingling to finish packing.
Han Zhenyu sent them to the bus station and watched them get on the last bus to the provincial capital before he rode his bicycle back home.
………
Su Xieqiu saw him coming back alone and asked, "Where's Yiming? Did he leave?"
"He took his cousin back." Han Zhenyu pushed the bicycle into the utility room and whispered to him about Lu Lingling's experience.
Su Xieqiu cursed angrily: "The human traffickers are too rampant. And the three brothers from Lishu Brigade are really disgusting. How can three people marry one wife?"
"Those shameless old bachelors would want to sleep with a sow, let alone a beautiful girl."
Han Zhenyu put his arm around her shoulders and went back to the main room, only to find that the children were not at home, not even their grandmother.
"What have they been doing?"
Su Xieqiu poured him a glass of water first, then said with a smile: "My uncle came over this afternoon and said that someone in the village was getting married, so he asked grandma to go back for the feast and took the children away."
Han Zhenyu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Wife, are we the only two people at home?"
At this time, Chenchen came from the backyard with a few cucumbers and just heard these words.
He pouted and said, "Uncle Han, I am not a human being."
Han Zhenyu paused, looked at his wife pursing her lips to hold back her laughter, and turned to look at the annoying brat.
He gritted his teeth and smiled as he asked, "Chenchen, why didn't you go live with your relatives?"
"I want to go to school." Chenchen glared at him unhappily and went to the kitchen with the cucumber. After a while, the sound of smacking cucumbers came, which sounded emotional.
Su Xieqiu suppressed his laughter and pointed to the bedroom, "It's not the two of us, it's the four of us, and your little girl isn't there either."
Han Zhenyu pinched his waist, took a long breath, then looked at his wife and complained in a low voice.
"What's the point of having so many children? We don't even have our own space. We have to sleep secretly. Oh, all these kids are such an eyesore."
Su Xieqiu smiled and kicked him, "You really have nothing to say. Go and help Chenchen cook. I still have some work to do."
Han Zhenyu hugged her and kissed her, then sighed and went to the kitchen.
Su Xieqiu came to the sewing machine and continued to make clothes. She made this Zhongshan suit for Zhao Yingchao.
Zhao Yingchao received a letter from home this morning saying that they had arranged a job for him and asked him to go through the procedures to return to the city immediately. He should be leaving in the next few days.
They have been together for several years, and because they live close to each other, they get along like family. The children are also very attached to him.
Zhao Yingchao's family was well-off, and they often sent him food and daily necessities. He would always send most of them to the children.
Su Xieqiu cherishes this friendship very much, so she plans to make a piece of clothing and give it to Zhao Yingchao as a souvenir.
It’s not as convenient to communicate now as it was in the future. After this separation, I don’t know when we will meet again.
Han Zhenyu also heard Chenchen talk about this while he was cooking.
Seeing Chenchen was in a low mood, he smiled, touched his head, and comforted him: "Chenchen, this is a good thing. Your Uncle Zhao can return to the city to work. We should be happy for him."
Chenchen added some firewood to the bottom of the pot and said sadly, "I know, I just can't bear to leave. Uncle Guoqiang is gone, and now Uncle Zhao is leaving too. Only Uncle Roger is left. I don't know if he will leave in the future."
Han Zhenyu sat next to him and said with a smile: "Chenchen, each of us has to go on with our own life. This life is very long, some people stay, some people leave. Everyone has to go through this many times. So don't be sad, as long as the people you care about are doing well, isn't that enough?"
Chenchen leaned in his arms and asked in a muffled voice: "Uncle Han, will we be separated in the future?"
Han Zhenyu patted his back gently and said, "Chenchen, no matter whether we will be separated in the future, you are the eldest in the family, the big brother of Haohaoxuanxuan and Tiantian, and the child that your aunt Su and I care about very much."
