Yan Ci picked up Chang Le and let her rest her head on his shoulder, saying helplessly:
"Changle behaved very well today and did not go against the bad guys."
However, you should reflect on how you were tricked into leaving your home today.
Have you ever thought about what would happen if you were actually sold by bad people?
What would you do if you went to someone's house and were beaten, verbally abused, and not given food?
"If it weren't for you, what would Mom do? She'd be heartbroken."
Upon hearing this, Chang Le burst into tears and hugged Yan Ci's neck, saying:
"Uncle Yan, I was wrong. Let Mom break my legs instead!"
Yan Ci gently wiped away Chang Le's tears with his hand:
"Changle, remember today's lesson and don't make the same mistake again. Go back and apologize to your mother properly."
Chang Le nodded vigorously, humming incessantly.
As soon as the two entered, they saw Bai Xiaoyue sitting in the courtyard, looking at them without saying a word.
Yan Ci gave Chang Le a wink, and Chang Le immediately knelt down beside Bai Xiaoyue's legs.
Holding Bai Xiaoyue and crying, he said:
"Mom, I almost didn't see you again. I promise I'll never run away again and will stay home with you every day."
Bai Xiaoyue ruffled Chang Le's hair, her tone teasing.
"Oh, really? Chang Le has to stay with me every day and not go out to play with other children?"
Just now, Bai's mother came over and told her that Ding Cuihua, along with two people from another village, had kidnapped three children from the village, including Chang Le.
She was so frightened she almost fainted, but she quickly calmed down.
Yan Ci had long known that Ding Cuihua had bad intentions.
She believed that as long as Yan Ci was there, Chang Le would be safe.
However, she was still very anxious because she didn't see anyone. She only felt relieved when she saw the two people enter the courtyard.
Yan Ci sat down next to Bai Xiaoyue and told her the whole story.
Bai Xiaoyue was also terrified when she heard this. Seeing her daughter crying like a little cat, she pulled her up and wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Bai Xiaoyue examined her daughter's body again and found that apart from the pinch marks on her palms, there were no other injuries on her body.
She smiled and said to her daughter:
"Changle did a good job today. She wasn't afraid of the bad guys, nor was she reckless. She came back safely, and Mom is very happy."
As for being deceived by Wang Sanbao and Li Qiusheng today, that is a very valuable experience for Chang Le.
Now you know that not every friend is reliable, and many people will betray their friends for their own benefit.
You must always remember this.
Thinking about the impending turmoil, when friends will no longer be friends, spouses will no longer be spouses, and relatives will no longer be relatives.
It's not a bad thing for Chang Le to suffer a little in terms of friendship now. She'll be more wary and safer when interacting with people in the future.
Chang Le felt uneasy seeing that her mother hadn't hit her.
She whispered to Yan Ci:
"Uncle Yan, what's wrong with my mother? She didn't hit me, and she even praised me."
Yan Ci was both amused and exasperated.
"What, you're not happy that you didn't get beaten up?"
Chang Le was always a kind and brave child.
Chang Le was about to say something when she heard Bai Xiaoyue call her.
She rushed over: "Mom, what did you need?"
"Changle, the baby in Mommy's tummy wants you to read to him. Take out your textbook and read a text to the baby every day."
"When did your brother tell you this, and how did he tell you?"
"Of course Mom knows. Your Uncle Yan is busy right now. Once he's done, we'll have him tell a story."
Bai Xiaoyue also let her touch her belly and ask the baby if it wanted to hear her voice.
Originally, she was trying to comfort Chang Le, but when Chang Le put her little hand on her belly and touched it, the baby in her belly moved for the first time.
Chang Le opened her eyes wide in surprise and exclaimed:
"My younger brother really wants to hear me read the text."
Bai Xiaoyue was also very excited. Her belly hadn't shown any signs of pregnancy, it had just gotten a little bigger.
The baby's slightest movement made her feel the wonder of life.
Only now do I truly realize that there is a little life inside me.
Seeing Chang Le looking at her, Bai Xiaoyue said solemnly:
"Yes, if you read the texts to the baby every day, the baby will listen to you and love you the most when the baby is born."
Bai Xiaoyue was thinking of having her daughter read to the baby every day to temper her temperament.
I never expected that Chang Le would be able to read to her baby in her belly every single day without missing a single day.
When Yan Ci heard Chang Le say that the baby was completely confused when she asked him to read the text aloud, he was still confused.
When he heard that the baby had moved, he excitedly asked:
"Honey, really? The baby can move around already?"
Bai Xiaoyue said with a smile:
"Yes, the baby can move and has senses now. Aren't you happy, Aci?"
Yan Ci nodded, placed his large hand on Bai Xiaoyue's belly, trying to feel the baby's movements, his eyes and brows smiling.
However, after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
When they went to sleep that night, Yan Ci held his wife in his arms and placed his large hand on her stomach.
In the stillness of the night, he listened to his wife's breathing and waited quietly.
Finally, when the moon was high in the sky, the baby moved.
It was a tiny life announcing its arrival that brought tears to Yan Ci's eyes.
Soon after, the verdicts for the three human traffickers were handed down.
It turns out that Ding Cuihua met a woman in prison, and the two hit it off.
She overheard Ding Cuihua complaining about Bai Xiaoyue's family and learned that the Bai family had a child, so she encouraged Ding Cuihua to steal Chang Le and sell her.
They even gave Ding Cuihua an address and told her to go find Qian Dayou. Ding Cuihua knowingly broke the law, and the circumstances were serious enough to warrant a twelve-year sentence.
Wu Degui was an accomplice and was sentenced to ten years in prison.
The tall man, Qian Dayou, who injured someone with a dagger, was the main culprit and was also sentenced to fifteen years for assault with a weapon.
Following this lead, they rescued many children and women, and Officer Liu and his team made a great contribution.
The message was delivered personally by Officer Liu, accompanied by Uncle Bai and Ye Jianguo.
It turns out that the little boy found at the Qian family's house was from Beijing and had come here with his family to visit relatives.
The family was frantic when their child went missing, and now that the child has been found, they are naturally extremely grateful to their benefactor.
However, when the elderly in the family heard that the child was missing, they became ill from worry, so they rushed home.
Police Officer Liu took out a paper package and handed it to Yan Ci:
"Comrade Yan, this is a thank-you gift from that family."
Yan Ci opened it and found five hundred yuan and a letter inside.
He opened the letter and read it. It was full of apologies for not being able to thank him in person, and it also contained an address in Beijing.
Yan Ci left only the letter and said to Liu Gong'an:
"Please give the money to the village, officers. Everyone contributed to catching these human traffickers this time."
Liu Gong'an then took out another envelope and handed it to Yan Ci:
"Comrade Yan, these are some receipts that our bureau has awarded you as a reward."
When Yan Ci opened it, he found some grain coupons, meat coupons, oil coupons, cloth coupons, and a watch coupon.
He smiled and said to Officer Liu:
"This was a reward from the government, so I accepted it. My wife is pregnant, and it will come in handy."
Please ask Comrade Liu to convey my gratitude to your leaders.
