HWTSCFM Chapter 6

 

 

B City

 

In a villa with slightly old decoration and a yard full of roses, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a face full of wrinkles from overwork was leaning against the wall, calming his breathing.

 

His beloved daughter was found six years after she was lost. He was in disbelief and pricked his thigh hard.

 

The pain came…

 

The man smiled happily.

 

After years of waiting, he thought there was no hope. Now that he suddenly received the news, he couldn’t calm down for a while.

 

After a while, the man’s eyes became clear, he stood up straight and walked out of the house.

 

After a while, the car drove away from the villa and headed towards the hospital.

 

“Linlin, there’s news about our Yunyun.”

 

“Hey, Assistant Wang, please book me one… no… thirty tickets to City X, Province S. I want the closest flight, the fastest.”

 

“Hello, Director Zhang? I have a clue about my daughter. I hope you can help me… Thank you.”

 

In the ward, Jiang Yun’s mother received a call from her first husband. Looking at the missed call on the screen, tears fell from her eyes.

 

“Mrs. Jiang, please stop crying. The doctor said your eyes haven’t been in good condition recently.”

 

“I didn’t receive Yunyun’s call just now…” Jiang Yun’s mother said in a low voice.

 

“What! I’m sorry, I saw you fell asleep, so I turned your phone to silent mode. I’m sorry.” Upon hearing this, the nanny kept bending down to apologize. She was really too careless. How could she miss such an important thing.

 

Jiang Yun’s mother shook her head , not paying attention to the person in front of her. She said with a long-lost smile on her face, “Pack up. I want to be discharged from the hospital to pick up my daughter. Go pack my luggage for me, and also prepare your luggage for Yunyun. .”

 

“OK.”

 

Seeing the person leave, Jiang Yun’s mother couldn’t hold back her tears again, and she held the phone tightly in her hand. To her, this phone is now her life-saving straw.

 

It is also Yunyun’s life-saving straw.

 

Fortunately Yunyun got through on the phone, otherwise they would have regretted it so much.

 

….

 

Zizi returned to the market, and all the toys had been sold out by the tofu-selling grandma.

 

“Grandma, you are so awesome! They are all sold out!” Zizi looked at the old lady in surprise.

 

The tofu-selling grandmother was so flattered by Zizi that she couldn’t stop smiling. She still said modestly, “No, it’s Xiaoguaiguai’s toys that are well made. They are delicate, sturdy and interesting. Otherwise, no one would buy them no matter how much I talk.”

 

The baby shook her head and replied in a serious voice, “I’m serious! Grandma is really amazing. I definitely won’t be able to sell a single piece here.”

 

Grandma looked down at her wet hands, wiped them on her white apron, then reached out and touched the baby’s delicate face and head, took out a handful of money, handed it to the baby and said, “Here, take it, I didn’t count it, I’ll put it in a separate pocket after I sell it. The little girl is so pretty, and when she grows up, I don’t know how many boys will think about her day and night and line up to chase her, just like when I was young.”

 

Zizi didn’t quite understand the second half of grandma’s words and just agreed in agreement with the old lady.

 

Grandma was immediately delighted.

 

Taking the money from grandma’s hand with both hands, Zizi took out one-third and handed it to grandma, saying, “Grandma, mom said people should be grateful and repay kindness. Here you go.”

 

“Oh, no need. It’s just a small favor. Your mother has brought you up really well.” Grandma waved her hands repeatedly, rejecting the cub kindness.

 

Zizi stuffed the money into the pocket of grandma’s apron and whispered, “Grandma, if you don’t want me to, I won’t call you grandma. Also, I don’t want grandma to tell my dad that I left, okay?”

 

Grandma looked at Zizi’s red and swollen eyes, thinking that she was afraid of being discovered by her father and grandma and ran away to play. Thinking about her age, her heart softened instantly, and she agreed and agreed quickly, “Okay, okay, but grandma won’t take your money for anything. How about giving you a piece of tofu?” After that, she turned around, took a piece of tofu and stuffed it into Zizi’s arms.

 

Hearing this, Zi Zi smiled at the tofu-selling grandmother with eyes as big as crescent moons and bowed, “Thank you, grandma, but I can’t accept the tofu. Mom said, one thing is another!”

 

In her opinion, grandmother had helped her a lot, so how could she just accept the tofu?

 

Besides, the money is not hers in the end, wouldn’t it be better to give it to grandma?

 

The market was not big, and Zizi walked around and found where Zhao Shan and his mother were.

 

The soybeans had not been sold yet, but Zizi was not in a hurry. She took out a piece of money from her pocket, bought some candies at the store, and carefully put them into the pocket that was deliberately sewn inside her clothes.

 

Mom must have not eaten candy for a long time, so buy her a few to replenish her energy.

 

The original body had never learned arithmetic and only knew small amounts of money. When the baby came, she had to follow this setting. She ignored the money and let it be a mess. She would give it to the old lady later and let her count it herself.

 

Not long after, someone came to ask Zhao Shan and his mother about the price of soybeans.

 

The two sides had a heated argument and agreed on a price.

 

The transaction was completed, and Zizi was about to go find Zhao Shan and his mother.

 

She saw them walking in another direction. Are they going to buy something? Zi Zi was puzzled.

 

Because that was not the direction where she sold toys, and if he wasn’t going to find her, then something must have happened.

 

The baby was curious and followed Zhao Shan and his mother.

 

After walking for four or five minutes, they were about to leave the market and the crowds had thinned a lot. Afraid of being discovered, Zizi followed them at a distance of several dozen meters.

 

Zhao Shan and his mother stopped and walked into an old wooden house that looked very ordinary in the countryside.

 

The house was old and run-down, and there was no sign at the door. It didn’t look like a place to sell things. If there was nothing to sell here, why would they come here for no reason?

 

With doubts, she quietly looked around, but no one was paying attention! She tiptoed to the side of the wooden house and stood under the wooden window, listening to the noise inside with her ears pressed against the wall.

 

She waited for a long time, so long that Zizi began to wonder if she was being too suspicious.

 

Muffled conversations came from the room.

 

“I… I don’t want the stuff you gave me anymore. She’s still so stubborn after so long, and she can’t give birth to a boy.” Zhao Shan’s deep voice came, and Zhao Shan’s mother echoed it.

 

A shrill female voice said, “You’ve been using this product for so long, how can you possibly return it? Do you think I’m a vegetarian? Besides, it’s not the woman’s fault that she can’t have a baby. It’s your fault that she can’t have one.”

 

The woman’s harsh words seemed to anger Zhao Shan, who slapped his hand on the table with a loud noise. Then Zhao Shan angrily said, “What did you say? You b*tch, you know nothing. You must return the goods to me today! I bought her at a high price because she was young, beautiful and could give birth to a boy!”

 

The female voice sneered, “You dare to cause trouble? Want to lose an arm or a leg? Return the goods? You are the first one who dares to do this in all these years.”

 

Outside the window, Zizi was shaking with anger, wishing he could turn into a robot and instantly destroy the people inside.

 

What are they as mothers? These people in there, these people, they are not human!!

 

Zaizai squatted down and understood why Zhao Shan would beat his mother to death after she escaped and was caught in the plot. Zhao Shan wanted to replace a girl here, but was rejected and humiliated. When he returned, he found that his mother had escaped. The first thing he did after catching his mother was to avenge his own humiliation on her.

 

At this time, there was another sound in the house.

 

The cub continued to squat there, pretending to look for ants to play with, and continued to listen with her ears perked up.

 

“Since I can’t return the goods, I’ll just sell that woman! You guys decide on the price, I want to buy another one from you! Two deals at once, it’s really worth it for you.” In the house, Zhao Shan made a suggestion casually.

 

“Yes! We will sell it! We will sell it. If you don’t mind a girl, I have another three-year-old at home, I will give her to you too.” When Zhao Shan’s mother heard her son say this, it seemed as if she had instantly found a way to get rid of this daughter-in-law, and she excitedly offered to give them a buy one get one free deal.

 

“Tsk tsk tsk, I’ve really broadened my horizons today.” A shrill female voice exclaimed in surprise. Even though she had a lot of experience, she had rarely seen such a shameless mother and son.

 

Zizi also wanted to sigh with this woman, but when she thought of the woman’s identity as a human trafficker, she pouted and was very disgusted with herself for having such an idea.

 

“Sister Zhang, just tell me whether you agree or not. I’m in a hurry to go back! The animals at home are still hungry.”

 

Sister Zhang rolled her eyes and said, “Of course, of course, but I have to decide the price. As for the girl, you should raise her up first! The little girl is not worth much. Come and see the goods in two days. Remember to prepare the money. You know the rules.”

 

Zizi guessed that for human traffickers, everything except themselves is just a commodity for them to make profits.

 

Seeing that they were already talking about something related to price, Zizi got up and ran away on her short legs.

 

Jogging all the way, Zizi soon arrived at the grandma who had just sold tofu. She was breathing heavily and was really tired!

 

After Zizi spoke a few words to the grandmother, Zhao Shan and his mother found Zizi where she was selling toys.

 

Zhao Shan glanced at Zizi impatiently and said angrily, “Sold out? You’re quite capable. Take out the money and we’re leaving.”

 

When the tofu-selling grandmother saw this, A trace of anger appeared on her face. She was about to say something when Zizi reached out and pulled her back, shaking her head.

 

The other party meant well, but Zi Zi didn’t want to cause any trouble.

 

The old lady glanced sinisterly at the baby holding the grandmother’s hand and snorted coldly.

 

The tofu-buying grandma almost couldn’t control her temper. What kind of family is this? How could such a well-behaved child be born in such a family? Look at this attitude! Is it like the attitude towards one’s own child? She wanted to say it when she left the child alone here to sell things just now.

 

Who is this! Pah!

 

If the child hadn’t stopped her! She didn’t want the little girl to be caught in the middle, she would have scolded them! Um… damn dog head.

 

Grandma took a step back, lowered her head and continued to fiddle with her tofu, no longer looking at the annoying mother and son.

 

Zhao Shan didn’t notice his mother’s conflict with others. He was concentrating on calculating the family savings to see if they could support him in getting a better wife.

 

Before leaving, Zizi turned around and waved to the grandma selling tofu.
