Chapter 105: A burly man, there are actually two of them in her family...
In the evening, Jiang Ci'an and Zhu Jiuxing got off work and went straight to pick up Wang Xiao.
When we got home, Baizhi and Xuanque had already prepared the meal.
Jiang Ci'an washed his hands and chatted with Shen Changle.
"Changle, guess who I met today?"
"Hmm? Who did you meet?"
"Xiulian's father from Hulu Village."
Shen Changle thought for a moment before remembering the honest farmer.
"Can I say hello?"
"Well, he came to the city to arrange a wedding banquet. He said Xiulian is getting married soon."
"marriage?"
Shen Changle was very surprised.
"Why is it so sudden? I haven't heard that she has been engaged before! Whose family is it?"
Jiang Ci'an slowly picked up some food for her and replied:
"It shouldn't be from Hulu Village. If Changle is interested, we can go back and take a look on the day of the wedding banquet."
"Hmm... I don't know if Xiulian has met her fiancé before. I hope she can live a happy life."
Jiang Ci'an saw that she was worried, so he gently rubbed her hair and said to her:
"Xiu Lian is smart, she will have a good life."
"hope so……"
While the two were still talking, Zhu Jiuxing had already finished his meal and left the table.
"Second Master, Second Sister-in-law, I'm done eating, you guys take your time!"
"Hey? Why are you in such a hurry? Have you finished eating?"
"OK OK……"
"It's okay, don't pay attention to him."
Jiang Ci'an raised his hand and motioned him to go down.
Accompany Shen Changle and eat slowly.
Suddenly I heard a commotion outside the door.
The middle-aged man's shouting and cursing, mixed with the little girl's heart-wrenching cries, drifted into the hall.
"...You still dare to run? Your father sold you out, where else can you run to? Run... I told you to run!"
"Ah! Ah, I know I was wrong... Ah! Stop hitting me... I don't dare run away anymore!"
"You're asking me to pay you again... I'm going to beat you to death today!"
Listening to the noise outside the yard, Shen Changle looked at Jiang Ci'an uneasily.
Jiang Ci'an patted her hand gently with a soothing look in his eyes.
"It's okay, I'll go take a look."
Shen Changle nodded and followed him out of the hall.
Seeing this, Wang Xiao, who was eating happily, hurriedly put down his bowl and chased after him.
When a few people go out, they see...
On the street in front of the door, a middle-aged man was grabbing a little girl of five or six years old by the collar and dragging her to the ground.
Cursing and kicking.
The little girl's teeth were knocked out, and her lips were covered in blood foam, but she was still struggling and begging for mercy.
Saw this scene.
Wang Xiao seemed to see himself working in the teahouse, and his pupils shrank with fear...
The greasy little hands tightly grasped Shen Changle's skirt and hid behind her shiveringly.
Shen Changle covered his ears with his hands.
Loudly rebuke the human trafficker who beat the girl in the street.
"stop!"
The trafficker raised his hand in the air and was about to turn around and scold her for meddling in other people's business.
But when he saw Jiang Ci'an standing in front of Shen Changle, he instantly became timid.
He let go of the little girl's hair and looked at the elegant Shen Changle with a smirk.
All smiles:
"Madam...what can I do for you?"
Shen Changle pointed at the little girl who was curled up on the ground with her head in her arms and asked coldly:
"What's your relationship? Why did you hit her like that?"
The trafficker nodded and bowed, explaining with a flattering smile:
"Madam, you don't know, this little girl is very restless. Her father sold her to me, but she always runs away..."
Shen Changle raised his eyebrows and questioned:
"Her father sold her?"
"Exactly."
She still didn't believe it.
This little girl looks pretty and healthy, why did her father sell her?
"Do you have a contract to sell yourself?"
The human trafficker blinked, as if he didn't expect Shen Changle to ask this.
He is just a second-hand dealer, responsible for supplying "goods" to the dental clinic. How could he have that thing?
Then he stammered:
"Well, yes, yes, I, I don't have it with me..."
Shen Changle noticed that his eyes were evasive and he seemed to be feeling guilty, so he narrowed his eyes and threatened:
"You should know... without a contract, this is considered kidnapping, and you'll be punished with a beating!"
"Ah, how could that be possible? I have... I have!"
"Okay, I want this child. Give me her indenture."
The trafficker's eyes rolled around, and he was obviously panicking.
"Well, if you want to buy her, you can. Give me the money first, and I'll send you the indenture contract later!"
"Oh, no need to bother."
Jiang Ci'an also saw that this man was not honest, so he deliberately put on a cold expression and moved his wrist.
"I'll go with you to get it."
Shen Changle saw his intention and turned around to instruct Bai Zhi who was accompanying him.
"Ask Jiuxing to go with us."
"Yes."
Then, Zhu Jiuxing was called over.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
The trafficker saw that there were two strong men in her family...
I couldn't sit still anymore.
No more asking for money.
Backing away continuously.
"Well... this child, if Madam likes it, you can keep it for yourself... it's just my humble gift to you!"
Before he could finish his words, he turned around and ran away.
Zhu Jiuxing took a look and didn't ask what was going on.
He leaped forward and pinned the man to the ground.
Ignore the man's pleas for mercy.
Jiang Ci'an walked down the stone steps and wanted to help the little girl who was covered in scars up.
Seeing her shivering, the hand he stretched out stopped in the air and did not touch her.
Seeing this, the white pheasant stepped forward with a look of understanding.
Carry the little girl back to the yard.
Close the gate to keep the sounds of beating and begging for mercy out.
At Shen Changle's signal, he carried the little girl back to the room.
He applied medicine on her and treated her wounds before bringing her to the front hall.
The little girl stood on the ground with her head down, her shoulders shaking and she was sobbing.
Wang Xiao wanted to comfort her, but before Shen Changle could speak, he refrained from moving.
Until Shen Changle handed over the handkerchief and comforted her softly:
"Don't cry, little girl. Tell your sister, were you abducted?"
He then walked over to the little girl, imitating the way the Second Master coaxed the Second Madam, and tilted his head to comfort her:
"Don't cry, Auntie is a good person, Auntie will take you home!"
The little girl sobbed and shook her head.
She raised her tear-red eyes and looked at Shen Changle pitifully.
"I don't have a home anymore... My father doesn't want me anymore. He sold me..."
Shen Changle frowned.
She thought she was abducted...
I didn't expect that she was really sold out by her father?
But if it was a voluntary transaction, why was there no signed indenture?
Just when he was confused, Jiang Ci'an came back.
"Where's that human trafficker?"
"Ask Laojiu to take him to the county government office."
Jiang Ci'an glanced at the pair of little kids standing on the ground, then sat down next to Shen Changle and poured water.
"The man said that he had indeed bought the child for a hundred yuan, but he hadn't handed the child over to the broker yet, so there was no indenture."
Only then did Shen Changle react.
"Are they human traffickers?"
"Well, he probably also does some child robbery business, so he must have a lot of cases on his hands."
Shen Changle pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked the little girl.
"So you don't want to go home?"
The little girl nodded, wiping her tears and snot vaguely with her dirty sleeves.
"I sneaked back to find my father today. It was my father who sent me back... Even if I go back, he will sell me again..."
