Laohu Town, next to the stone bridge!
As Qiao Xin got off the horse, a small ball fell from the tung tree. She subconsciously reached out and caught the small ball in her arms.
When I looked down, I saw that it was just a child of four or five years old, with grass foam and mud spots all over his face and body.
The child was probably frightened and looked up at the person who caught him!
Seeing that he didn't recognize her, he subconsciously struggled and tried to leave Qiao Xin's arms!
Qiao Xin squatted down and put him on the ground, only to find that the child had large abrasions on his arms and legs, and his little arm was actually dislocated.
Why was such a young child sitting alone on a tree by the river in the middle of the day?
Grandma Qiao Xin's heart was overwhelmed, and she immediately remembered that her older grandchildren were also so gentle and amiable when they were this age, climbing trees and swimming in the river, like naughty monkeys.
Qiao Xin took the opportunity to pinch his face, which was tender and soft, and felt so kissable and pinchable.
What a pity, it’s someone else’s child!
"My dear, whose child are you? Why are you alone on the tree? Where are your parents?"
The doll probably didn't sense any ill will from Qiao Xin. It blinked its eyes and said softly, "My brother and sister were playing hide-and-seek with me. They asked me to hide in the tree so that no one would find me!"
Zhang Jun said from behind: "Madam, it's lunchtime now, there are no other children here. I'm afraid this kid..."
Qiao Xin naturally thought of it. She patted the child's back gently to let him relax. When his attention was distracted, she twisted it inadvertently and connected the dislocated part.
"Can grandma take you to find your parents?"
The boy in her arms remained silent, letting Qiao Xin carry him into the town, but he no longer struggled!
As soon as they crossed the stone bridge, they saw a group of people pushing Sangsang and cursing as they walked towards them. They happened to see Qiao Xin holding the little girl.
The other party immediately rushed forward and tried to snatch the child, but Qiao Xin stepped back, leaving him empty-handed!
Qiao Xin lowered her head and looked at the villagers who had gathered around her, but it seemed like she didn't know any of them.
But it's normal. She hasn't been back for several years. More and more people are moving to Lao Hu Town, so it's normal that they don't recognize her!
Qiao Xin rubbed the dough in her arms and asked in a low voice: "My dear, do you know him?"
He was silent for a long while, and then opened his eyes with difficulty: "Second Aunt!" Then he struggled to get down!
The little body staggered forward!
Just as the little hand touched the woman's clothes, the other party swung her arm and slapped the little boy with a "pa" that made him stagger.
"I told you to be disobedient and run around everywhere!"
Bright red palm prints quickly appeared on the little dumpling's face.
.......
Everyone present was stunned by her tough style!
"Second brother, why do you beat the child like this? It seems that you don't feel sorry for the child because it's not your own. When the child's father comes back and finds out that you abused the child like this, he will not forgive you!"
Qiao Xin frowned, and without saying a word, she took a step forward, bent down and picked up the child!
The woman stared at Qiao Xin with a fierce look.
"Who are you and why are you holding my baby? Are you a human trafficker?"
Qiao Xin looked cold and her face darkened. "Human traffickers? Humph, even human traffickers are better than this mother who can't tell right from wrong. How vicious can one be to do such a heavy thing to a child?"
"I am the one who is supposed to discipline my own child. What is it to you? You are really meddling in other people's business. You have no right to speak here! Why don't you come over here, you damned thing? Why are you relying on others?"
The little girl trembled, but lay in Qiao Xin's arms without moving.
"Someone come quickly, someone is stealing the child!"
The shrill voice startled the neighbors around, and the others also reacted and quickly gathered around.
"Who is trying to steal the child? How dare they come to Laohu Town to steal the child!" Hearing the noise, Manager Cao rushed out of the house with a wooden stick in hand and several servants.
After seeing the people who were surrounded clearly, Manager Cao was stunned for a moment, quickly threw away the stick in his hand, and the next moment he laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared!
Ah~ah~ah~the old lady is back!
"Madam! You are back! I missed you so much!"
As Manager Cao spoke, he began to cry, which made people feel very sad!
Nanny Qin and Qiao Xin rolled their eyes. It hasn't been a few days since we separated. Aren't you going a bit too far with this drama?
Unfortunately, someone couldn't see the situation clearly and still stood in the middle of the road, pulling Manager Cao's sleeve and pointing at Qiao Xin, saying, "Manager Cao, it was this bitch who stole the town!"
Manager Cao's good mood was ruined by someone, and his expression inevitably looked a little ugly!
He opened his mouth and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who are you calling a human trafficker? This is our ancestor, the ancestor of Laohu Town! How dare you say that my ancestor is a human trafficker?"
The child in my arms felt a little hot. After being frightened, he was slapped and now he has a fever!
Seeing that Manager Cao was still scolding the woman, Qiao Xin said, "Have you had enough of the fuss? Go get a doctor right away. The child is having a seizure! Ask Li Zhong to come see me!"
Qiao Xin held the baby in her arms and walked past the crowd towards the town's clinic, ignoring the group of people passing by.
The news that Qiao Xin had returned to town spread throughout Laohu Town like wildfire.
When Li Zhong heard the letter, he was resting at home. He jumped up, put on his clothes hastily and ran outside.
The housekeeper followed him quickly, handed him the hat he had dropped, and seeing him walking towards the Qiao family, he could not help but remind him, "Mayor, the old lady is not at home."
Li Zhong paused and asked in confusion, "Not at home, where did you go?"
"I went to the town's clinic!"
"Where did you go? Is anyone injured?"
"The old lady was not injured. It was Qiu's son who was beaten by the aunt. She beat him in front of the old lady!"
"That woman is used to being arrogant. She took advantage of Qiu's absence and couldn't even tolerate a child of a few years old. Now she has hit a wall. Let's go to the clinic!"
In Junkang Hall, Qiao Xin heaved a sigh of relief as she watched the child take the medicine and stop convulsing.
"Are you okay?"
Doctor Mo said, "He had a fever and convulsions, and was frightened. He will be fine after taking two doses of medicine and resting for two or three days. Fortunately, he was sent here in time. If he had been delayed for a longer time, he would have been feverish and stupid."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Mo. Please help take care of him first."
Zhang Jun lifted the curtain and walked in, whispering something in Qiao Xin's ear.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Li Zhong looked at the person walking towards him, his heart filled with joy.
"Li Zhong has met the old lady!"
When Qiao Xin saw her old friend again, she almost didn't recognize him. Was this guy with a big belly Li Zhong? The feng shui of Laohu Town really nourishes people. It's only been a few years, but the tall and thin guy has become several chubby.
"Get up, old man, you are being so polite to me!"
"Thank you, Madam!"
