Chapter 196 Suppose You Have a Friend
He Xu did not quarrel with the village chief. He glanced at the village chief with a proud look in his eyes and said, "The village chief is a man who understands what I say. Waiter, give him the money and let's go."
The intimidation of the military vehicles and uniforms was indeed great. The village chief raised his sinister eyes and wondered whether he should get rid of these people.
Otherwise, once they go back and what happened in the village is discovered, they will probably be in trouble.
But when he met He Xu's cold eyes, he was frightened. Soldiers are not policemen. Any policeman who came today would never return.
The gun in a soldier's hand is not just for display.
Thinking of this, the viciousness in the village chief's heart was suppressed again.
The law does not punish the masses. There are women being bought and sold in the surrounding villages. Can they really sentence them to death?
The village chief had some knowledge, but not much. Although he had a bad premonition, the fear of death took over his reason, and he watched He Xu and the others leave the land.
As soon as He Xu and others left, they went directly to the county hospital.
At this time, the person who went to the county to report the police came back and told him that the matter had been settled.
The waiter next to him said, "The police station in the township is in cahoots with them. Maybe there are people in the county town who are in cahoots with them too."
Another soldier touched his head and continued: "That shouldn't be the case. We showed the proof."
He Xu thought about it and asked Zhou Er to take care of Yu Cao while he went out to make a phone call to the military district and asked the division commander to contact the local military district and bring some soldiers to wipe out the human traffickers' village.
Yu Cao was not only covered in wounds, but also suffered from severe malnutrition. At the age of seventeen, he was only 1.5 meters tall. After taking the medicine, he looked at the person outside the door without saying a word.
It wasn't until Tuesday walked in that her eyes showed obvious fluctuations.
"Awake?" Although Zhou Er didn't know the identity of this girl, he thought that the person being looked for by the He family's eldest grandson must be of extraordinary status.
The little girl pulled the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of vigilance: "What do you want me to do?"
What she thought about most was that something might have happened to her cruel mother, which was why someone came to find her.
If that's true, she has to "thank" them and her family!
Zhou Er scratched his head and said, "We have no ill intentions. We came to you because of the instructions of the tall soldier just now. If you have any questions, you can ask him. He is a good person and should be worthy of your trust."
Yu Cao thought that there was no one in this world worthy of her trust.
But she was not stupid enough to say that. She had a plan in her mind that she could live in the Yu family until she was seventeen years old and could solve the problem of the Yu family selling her when she was fifteen.
Seeing that Zhou Er didn't know why the other party was looking for her, Yu Cao was too lazy to talk to him and just half-lay on the bed, closed her eyes and rested.
I was thinking in my heart, what use can I be to them, what benefit can I get from them, or whether I can escape from home with their help.
After a while, He Xu came back.
He gave instructions for the follow-up and called back to report that Chen Tang was safe.
It was already noon when we got back.
He brought some meals to the hospital and saw Yu Cao still lying there after taking the medicine, so he put the meals in the thermos box on the table.
The girl on the bed opened her eyes at the quiet clinking of porcelain.
He Xu sat at the head of her bed. Seeing the alertness in the girl's eyes, he poured her a bowl of millet porridge and said, "Eat it. The doctor said you are malnourished and can't eat too much meat. You can eat some millet porridge to nourish your stomach."
Yu Cao retracted his feet and took the bowl from him.
After she finished eating, her dark eyes stared at him quietly, as if asking him why he saved her.
He Xu didn't hide his intention from her: "I saved you because you might be my cousin."
Yu Cao looked at him instantly, his eyes full of surprise and confusion: "I have a father?"
She grew up in Yu's home and once asked her mother and grandmother whether she had a father.
But Yu Miao said that she was unlucky in marriage because her father died when she was born.
Her grandmother also said that she was a person without a father's love. Every time she wanted to ask her father's surname, her grandmother and Yu Miao would tell her coldly to stop asking.
Over time, she stopped asking about the person who had never appeared in her life.
He Xu nodded: "But it's not confirmed yet. The matter is a bit complicated. When your injury is better and the matter is investigated more clearly, I will tell you the details. I can only say that it is different from what you think."
Yu He thought, even if things would never be the same again, the fact that this cousin found her meant that her father's people wanted to take her back.
As long as she could get away from the Yu family, even if her father's people disliked her, she would definitely be able to live a better life than now.
Two days later, the bruises on Yu He's face disappeared and his facial features could be vaguely seen.
Her eyes and mouth are almost the same as Fourth Aunt's, and her nose is straight, very similar to the He family.
His and Shen Tang’s guess might actually be correct.
Not long after, news came from Jiang Yang confirming the matter.
He Xu spent two days dealing with Wanggala Village, uprooting Wanggala Village and nearby villages that trafficked women. Public officials who colluded with them were also imprisoned according to law.
As for the abducted women, some were sent back home, some had children and cooperated with local villagers and were also arrested, and the rest, who were in tears and did not want to go back, were arranged by the local government.
＊
On the other side, after Chen Tang finished talking to He Xu on the phone, she felt unspeakable when she heard that he had basically confirmed that the girl was indeed Fourth Aunt's child.
Indeed, she didn't like her aunt who spoke harshly.
But apart from speaking harshly, Fourth Aunt really didn't do anything to them.
Not only did Fourth Uncle swap the children, he also made that child live such a miserable life. He is truly unworthy of being a father.
Outsiders like them could say that Fourth Aunt was mean and harsh, but after all, they had not received any favor from her.
But Fourth Uncle couldn't do that. When he married Fourth Aunt, he brought the Ning family's connections back home. Otherwise, no matter how capable my aunt was, she wouldn't have been able to hold a high position in the Ministry of Finance in her thirties. Although Fourth Uncle didn't have much ability, he was still able to get promoted faster than his peers.
You know, the He family doesn't have many connections in the officialdom, and most of their relationships are in the military.
The third wife's eating habits are so ugly that it really makes people disgusted from the bottom of their hearts.
Thinking of what He Xu said, asking her to stay with Grandpa He more so that he wouldn't get angry after knowing the truth, Chen Tang took little He Zhi to the He family to accompany Grandpa He.
Mr. He is such a shrewd person. What Shen Tang hates most is hanging around among several uncles and aunts. If he wants to see the child, he has to wait until all those people leave, or go to the Shen family by himself to see him.
On her first day, he felt that his granddaughter-in-law came to see him out of filial piety.
When she came the next day, he felt a little uncomfortable and asked what He Xu was doing. Chen Tang said he was busy dealing with the Qin family's affairs.
On her third day, Mr. He frowned, sighed and asked, "Just tell me, what on earth are you and He Xu doing?"
The old man likes young people, but he doesn't like taking care of children. Although little He Zhi is obedient, children are full of energy. It's okay for an old man like him to tease them for a while, but teasing them all day long would really kill him.
But Chen Tang didn't say anything, he just came to accompany him every day, and sometimes told him about He Xu's affairs in the army.
For three days in a row, Chen Tang had talked until his mouth was dry and the old man was tired of listening, so the two of them just stared at each other, one silently trying to find a way to drive this annoying granddaughter-in-law to the next door, and the other silently thinking about what else he could say.
Hearing the old man's helpless question, Chen Tang cautiously probed: "Nothing, just, I want to ask you a question."
"I mean, suppose you have a friend whose granddaughter-in-law gave birth to a child, but the child got lost and the one she is raising now is not the original one. But your friend's granddaughter-in-law has been raising the child for a long time before she realizes that it is not her own child, and her own child is suffering somewhere else.
If it were you, what would you do? "
