It seemed so. Gu Qiang walked up to Rong Xin and whispered, "Wife, do you think it might be enemies from the Rong family? Did they find that no one was there, so they came looking for us?"
"If they investigate, what might they find out? Could it affect us?"
Upon hearing Gu Qiang's words, Rong Xin's initial intention to have the police conduct a thorough investigation vanished instantly.
The Rong family has already left, and she doesn't know if she'll ever see them again, so she doesn't need to worry about them at all.
But her family was still in China, and she was afraid that if the investigation found out something, her family would be finished.
As Gu Rong listened, her gaze swept between the two of them.
Seeing Rong Xin about to be swayed, Gu Rong grabbed Rong Xin's arm and cried out, "Mom, that person is trying to capture me. Is he trying to sell me?"
If they get sold, will I never see my mom and brother again? Mom, can you ask the uncle to catch them and lock them up?
Seeing the excited Gu Rong, Rong Xin hugged her tightly and gently comforted her, "No, no, Mom is here to protect you."
He looked up at the police officer and said, "Comrade, please catch the kidnapper. Otherwise, if more children in this area are abducted, it will be a tragedy for several families. Please help me."
The police officer patted Rong Xin on the shoulder and said firmly, "Don't worry, we will do our best to investigate and bring the kidnapper to justice."
Kidnappers are so brazen now that they've gone so far as to break into homes and steal children. They haven't been caught yet, so you'd better not leave your children alone to prevent any accidents.
We've asked all the questions we needed to. You can take your child home now. I'll come back to you if I have any further questions. Go home now.
“Okay, we will,” Rong Xin said as she carried Gu Rong out of the police station, but she kept thinking about what the police had said.
Gu Qiang said gratefully, "Thank you so much. If it weren't for your timely rescue, the consequences would have been unimaginable."
Aunt Zhang chimed in, "You'll have to be more careful in the future and never let the child out of your sight."
Rong Xin nodded guiltily, secretly vowing to take better care of Rong Bao in the future.
However, she has to go to work every day and can't stay at home all the time.
If someone stays home to look after the children, compared to Gu Qiang's job, Gu Qiang's salary and other aspects are better than hers, so the only possibility is that she will be laid off.
But finding a job isn't easy these days, and she was thinking of leaving it for Gu Rong in the future!
If she loses her job now, she'll have to rely on Gu Qiang for her livelihood from now on...
Aunt Zhang, who was standing nearby, noticed Rongxin's worry and nudged her shoulder: "If you're not home in the future, just leave Rongbao at my house and I'll look after her. She'll be fine once she starts school, it won't be long."
Rongxin already felt very embarrassed about troubling Aunt Zhang and the others every day.
If Gu Rong were to stay with them later, it would be a huge favor, and Rong Xin felt she would owe them more and more.
Although giving them more things would be fine, she's not entirely comfortable leaving them with the Zhang family now that this has happened.
Gu Rong, who was being held, could see Rong Xin's inner conflict and knew that she was considering resigning.
Gu Rong glanced at Gu Qiang beside her and knew that he also wanted Rong Xin to resign so that he could control her later.
Seeing this situation, Gu Rong naturally wouldn't let Rong Xin quit her job; otherwise, once she left, the family would surely be devoured very quickly.
Holding Rongxin's hand, Gu Rong pointed to Aunt Zhang: "Mom, I want to go with Aunt Zhang and play with Brother Gouwa, Mom~~".
Looking at her daughter, Rongxin couldn't help but tear up: "You really don't need Mom to come with you? Aren't you afraid of Mom?"
Gu Rong shook her head: "I'm not afraid. My grandfather once said that women should also have their own careers, otherwise they will be disliked by men sooner or later. You must not leave your post."
“Okay, Mom won’t leave her post.” Rongxin hadn’t expected that even after her parents left, they would still be concerned about her safety. She couldn’t let them worry.
Rongxin's eyes reddened slightly as she looked at Aunt Zhang gratefully: "Aunt Zhang, I'll be troubling you from now on. I won't let you look after things for nothing. Can I give you 10...20 yuan a month as a token of my appreciation?"
Upon hearing that so much money was to be given, Aunt Zhang quickly waved her hand and said, "It's no trouble at all. We're all neighbors, so let's help each other out."
Besides, Rongbao is a very well-behaved child, and I like him very much. As for the money, I will naturally take it, but not too much. Five yuan a month is enough; I don't want any more.
Aunt Zhang offered to give money because if she had said no, Rong Xin would definitely not have let her bring Gu Rong and would have found someone else.
Even if I let her bring it, the money will definitely be a lot, so I'll just give her 20 yuan.
Although she also liked money, she felt she should repay the Rong family for the benefits they had received.
Besides, she really liked Gu Rong. If she could do without the money, she naturally wouldn't take it. But Rong Xin wasn't the kind of person who would let others take advantage of her for nothing.
So he asked for five yuan to prevent Rongxin from asking for more money.
When Rong Xin heard that this was all they wanted, she frowned and disagreed: "Auntie, you give Rong Bao a lot of food every month, this five yuan is too little, just twenty."
Aunt Zhang said with a stern face: "I take care of Gouwa at home every day, so I'd be happy to have another well-behaved Rongbao!"
If you keep saying all that, I won't do this job. If you want me to train them, I'll only pay five yuan. So, tell me if you'll do it or not? If you don't want to, then leave your post and train them yourself."
Seeing this, Gu Rong grabbed Rong Xin's arm, leaned on her shoulder, and whispered, "Mom, Aunt Zhang doesn't want money. Why don't you buy her something every month? That would be fine."
Listening to Gu Rong's words, Rong Xin felt that her daughter was the smartest. After kissing her on the forehead, she looked at Aunt Zhang and said, "Sister Zhang, let's do it your way. When it's time to pay, don't make excuses."
Aunt Zhang smiled and nodded: "It's settled then, so of course I won't make excuses anymore. Let's go back now. Once we get home, leave Rongbao with me, and then you can go back to work."
"I took a day off, so I won't go to work today. I'll just take care of Rongbao," Rong Xin said, turning to look at Gu Qiang: "Xiao Qiang, are you still going to work?"
Gu Qiang also took the day off today. He originally thought he could just kidnap the person and then find out the location of the treasure, but the plan failed.
In the past, he would have thought of going to see Bai Rou, but now he had no interest in it at all, and he was also afraid that Rong Xin would suspect something, so Gu Qiang shook his head: "I won't go today either, I'll stay home with you."
"Okay, let's go home first," Rong Xin said, carrying Gu Rong in her arms as they walked ahead, with Gu Qiang following behind, his gaze fixed on Gu Rong.
