TGDS Chapter 56.6

Good Dad System (Arc 7) Chapter 56.6: After Being Abducted (18)

“…Do you want to talk to them?” The policeman asked hesitantly. He was referring to Lu’s parents. In fact, according to the procedure, Lu Dongshun could have been returned to Pei Naochun and his wife now. It’s just that Lu’s family was very resistant. Just now, when they were taking the statement, the couple almost caused trouble.

 

“Okay.” Pei Naochun tightened his grip slightly to prevent Yang Qiuping from getting angry. The two followed the police into the office. The Lu family couple were sitting on the chairs. When they saw them come in, they got angry. In their traditional thinking, buying a child was not a big deal – just like buying goods. They clearly paid for it, and the money and goods were settled. Isn’t it normal? Why call the police to arrest them? No matter how naughty Lu Dongshun was, they paid for it, and it was their child.

 

“Humph.” The background of the Pei couple that the police had just mentioned to appease them became the reason why the two were upset. Mother Lu spoke first: “What big professors and teachers, they only know how to snatch my child. I raised my child well, and you just come and snatch him away.”

 

Mr. Lu usually attends many social events outside, so he knows a little about the law compared to his wife. He stopped his wife with a bit of embarrassment and said, “Stop talking.”

 

“Don’t say anything. We spent 20,000 yuan to buy it back then! Just to avoid trouble and have a child of our own. If we had known earlier, we might as well go to the nearby village to ask for one. It won’t cost more than 8,000 yuan.” Mother Lu rolled her eyes. She was nervous at first when she was taken to the police station, but now she was very angry.

 

“Be careful, how can you talk like that?” The police couldn’t stand it anymore and knocked on the table. Even though there were such bad customs in the place, they couldn’t say that. “You are breaking the law!”

 

Mother Lu pinched her waist and said, “What crime? If you have the ability, arrest all those who buy children in this area!” After confirming that she and her husband Lu would not bear criminal responsibility, she straightened her back and said, “I’m telling you, the police said we are not responsible.”

 

The policeman rubbed his forehead, very angry: “I have read the law to you. If you do not abuse the purchased children and do not hinder their rescue, you will not be held criminally responsible. If you hinder or treat the children badly, you will be sentenced.”

 

She shrank back in fear and lowered her voice: “We spent 20,000 yuan. It’s unreasonable. You insist on saving me. Why don’t you come to my house to save the TV I bought?”

 

Yang Qiuping could no longer endure it. If she hadn’t been caught by her husband, she would have rushed over: “What 20,000? Even if you give me 1 million or 10 million, I will not sell my own child. On what basis? You stole my son and said my son is worth 20,000 yuan, 20,000 yuan.” She counted to two, coughed and laughed while looking at her fingers. Ever since she heard about this, the torrent of pain in her heart has never stopped. “Just for 20,000 yuan, it’s so funny. Just for this 20,000 yuan, I have been looking for seven years, seven years. In these seven years, I haven’t had a good night’s sleep. Every day in my dreams is my Yuanyuan.”

 

Twenty thousand yuan, is it a lot? It is a lot, but compared to her son, it is just a scrap of paper. If she could go back to the past, she even felt that she could kowtow to others – don’t say twenty thousand, I will give you two million, give my son back to me.

 

Mother Lu hid behind her husband and was silent for a while. After a while, she spoke again: “They asked us to buy it, not us.” She quickly cheered up and said, “I didn’t abuse your child. I raised him as my own child. If I didn’t buy it, it might have ended up in someone else’s hands, and it would have been even worse!” After saying this, she felt at ease. To be honest, seeing such an adult, in front of her she was not completely without shame for crying before the incident, but if she did not shirk her responsibility, she would always feel that she was tied to this matter.

 

Pei Naochun protected Yang Qiuping and prevented her from falling: “Mr. Lu, first of all, as Pei Yuanbo’s parents, to some extent, we have to thank you.” Isn’t it funny that he has to thank the buyer? But the other party at least gave Pei Yuanbo a meal and a not-too-bad life. “Thank you for giving my son a meal and a good life.”

 

After hearing this, Mr. Lu waved his hands. He felt a little uncomfortable. He and his wife had different ideas. He was a superstitious man and thought that Xishun was brought by Dongshun. Although – he also felt that buying a child was not a big mistake, on the other hand, he could not stand up straight in front of the victim.

 

“But can you feel at ease?” Pei Naochun looked at the other party with indifference in his eyes. “When you are taking our son and enjoying family happiness, don’t you feel ashamed in your heart? The person who sells the child tells you that the child is a healthy one. Don’t you know that he was abducted?” He sneered twice. It was mentioned in the confession of the human trafficker that he would tell the source. If the parents sold the child themselves, they would generally state the parents’ origins directly. If the child was abducted, they would vaguely say that he came from a certain city. When negotiating the price, they would clearly mark the child’s conditions.

 

“We don’t know…” Mother Lu wanted to refute, hesitating. When buying children, there are only a few people on a regular basis. They all know that the reason these children are expensive is that their parents can’t find them – in other words, they are abducted.

 

“Yuanyuan was lost when my mom was playing with him. After the child was gone, she cried day and night. She was only in her sixties, but her eyes could hardly see. The doctor said she cried too much.” Pei Naochun spoke of this in an exceptionally calm tone, but it made people feel even more uncomfortable. “She used to be able to run and jump, and was in good health. Now, she has to lie in bed eight out of ten days. The doctor said it might be too late.”

 

“This has nothing to do with us…” Mother Lu’s voice became lower and lower.
