Qiao Zhenmin went to the production team leader Wang Shuisheng to ask for two letters of introduction that day, and then went to town with his mother.
Chen Qiaoqiao originally wanted to go with her, but she had no choice because her body would not allow it, and secondly, she had already spent too much money to go out, and one more person would have to spend an extra amount, and thirdly, Xiao Wan'er didn't get close to her at all, so It doesn't matter if she goes or not.
Chen Qiaoqiao looked at the back of her husband gradually going away, and the uneasiness and panic in her heart did not decrease at all.
Before Xiao Wan'er had no news, she was worried that Qiao Zhenmin would divorce her.
But now that Xiao Wan'er has news, she is still afraid.
She always felt that their husband and wife seemed to have embarked on a forked road, and the two went further and further apart.
Wan Chunju came over quietly, and whispered in her ear: "Qiaoqiao, I think you don't look very well, why don't you give me the job in the pigsty, and how many days will you rest at home?"
Chen Qiaoqiao was taken aback, cursed inwardly, turned to look at her and said, "Sister-in-law, why do you want to work in the pigsty so much?"
Wan Chunju was afraid that she would notice something, so she pretended not to care and said, "Why, why, am I being kind? What are you doing looking at me like that?"
Kindness
Thanks to her being able to speak!
The more she was like this, the more Chen Qiaoqiao felt that she had a problem: "Sister-in-law, in that pigsty... is there something you really want?"
Wan Chunju immediately became nervous, and her voice suddenly became louder: "What nonsense are you talking about? What can there be in the pigsty? You have so many thoughts, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you!"
After finishing speaking, she quickly turned around and ran, running as if there was a ghost chasing her behind her.
Chen Qiaoqiao looked suspiciously at the big ass who fled.
Xiao Qiao originally wanted to sneak out from behind the big tree after the people left, but she was discovered by someone!
"Oh, isn't this Xiao Qiao? Why are you hiding here?"
"It turned out to be Xiao Qiao, yes, why are you sneaking around like a thief, Qiao's house is also yours, why don't you go in?"
"In the past, when Qiao's second child and Fang Xiaojuan were not divorced, Xiao Qiao was a well-known child prodigy. At that time, Da Qiao was still a stutterer, but now the two sisters have turned around. The older Xiao Qiao is, the more unattractive she is, and Da Qiao is on the contrary. Became the goddaughter of the deputy director, tsk tsk tsk, this person really won't be the last, no one knows what will happen!"
"It's not that I used to think that Xiao Qiao was smart and well-behaved. It would be great if I could have a daughter like her, but now it seems that no matter how smart it is, it's better to be lucky than others!"
"Yes, yes, I think the same way. Don't say I'm an afterthought. In fact, I used to think that Da Qiao looked more blessed. Xiao Qiao's chin is too sharp. If it was in ancient times, rich families would definitely not choose this kind of daughter-in-law. kind!"
Xiao Qiao's face was completely black: "..."
A bunch of idiots!
That is to say, can we talk about it after she leaves
Qiao Zhenjun was going back to Qiao's small courtyard, but when he heard Xiao Qiao's name mentioned, he looked back and saw his little daughter standing under the big tree.
He was wearing old clothes and his face was sallow.
He suddenly felt uncomfortable.
Although this child is a bit fickle and indifferent, he is his own child after all. How can a father be happy when he sees her not doing well
He turned around and came back, asking her, "Why are you here?"
Xiao Qiao looked up at her father, tilted her head and said softly: "Today is my sister's birthday and I wanted to come over to say my best wishes to her, but when I came here and saw so many people surrounding my sister, I... didn't go there. "
Her thin and small appearance, coupled with her ugly complexion, made her look even more pitiful, which made people feel distressed.
"Although you followed your mother, Qiao's house is still your home. Next time you come here, you can just go in."
Although Qiao Zhenjun was angry in his heart before, parents are always inferior to their children. Seeing her like this, he immediately softened his heart.
Xiao Qiao lowered her head, kicked the ground with her toes, and her voice became softer: "But milk her...she doesn't like me coming."
She has now realized that her mother is unreliable, so she intends to repair the relationship with the Qiao family, but her mother is a key person, if she does not agree to her return, others will definitely not accept her!
Qiao Zhenjun frowned and said, "No, your grandma is the most fair person. As long as you don't cause trouble like your mother, your grandma will welcome you very much."
"..."
Xiao Qiao felt very uncomfortable when she heard this. Is her father mocking her
In fact, Qiao Zhenjun didn't mean that at all.
It's just that some people have a guilty conscience, so whatever they hear seems to be mocking them.
Xiao Qiao's face immediately turned down, and she said coldly: "Let's not talk about it, I'm going back to do housework."
She said this intentionally to make her father feel guilty.
It's a pity that Qiao Zhenjun didn't think it was wrong when he heard this. After all, children in rural areas usually have to help with housework.
Besides, Da Qiao started doing housework when he was three years old, and now Xiao Qiao is also helping with housework, and he feels very relieved in his heart.
He reached out to touch Xiao Qiao's head: "Very well, you are much more sensible than before, and you know how to help adults share housework."
Xiao Qiao: "..."
Mad at her!
She didn't want to say a word to his father, so she turned around and left.
Qiao Zhenjun waited for her to leave, then slapped his forehead suddenly, turned around and ran towards the old house.
He found Da Qiao and said, "Da Qiao, your sister came to wish you birthday just now, but she is gone now, Dad was thinking, can you share some of these snacks with your sister?"
Da Qiao was stunned when she heard her sister coming to bless her, but she was always a generous child.
So now when her father asked her this, she nodded and said softly, "Dad, take it, anyway, there's so much at home, I can't finish it."
Qiao Zhenjun was very relieved to see that the child does not eat alone and loves his sisters: "Good boy, dad will take it now."
Qiao Zhenjun chose some candies and biscuits, but he didn't take such expensive things as malted milk.
He caught up with Xiao Qiao with candies and biscuits, pushed the things in front of her and said, "Take it, the Shen family bought it for your sister, I asked your sister, and your sister is very willing to share the things with you." eat."
Xiao Qiao stared at the thing in front of her, feeling humiliated in her heart!
Since when was she so pitiful that she needed Da Qiao to give her alms
In the past, she was the one who ate, drank, and dressed well, and Da Qiao looked at her enviously. Sometimes when she was in a good mood, he would give her a little something. At that time, Da Qiao would always be grateful to her.
So Da Qiao wants to use these things to humiliate her now, right
Qiao Zhenjun saw that she was not moving, so he urged: "Hurry up, take it, what's wrong with your child? Are you overjoyed?"
The last sentence completely shattered Xiao Qiao's forced calm, her face flushed, and she waved her hand—
There was a "snap"!
The candies and biscuits in Qiao Zhenjun's hand were swung to the ground.
Xiao Qiao said with a cold face: "I don't want your things!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and ran away.
Qiao Zhenjun looked at the back of his little daughter, and his face became a little ugly.
—
Qiao Xiuzhi and Qiao Zhenmin followed the Shen family to the town.
Because Chu Shengmei still had things to do, they couldn't go to the county right away, so they had to stay in the town for one night, and then went to the county by car tomorrow.
Qiao Xiuzhi originally wanted to stay in a hotel, but the Shen family was unwilling to say anything, and in the end the hospitality was hard to turn down, so the mother and son went to live in the Shen's house.
The Shen family was indeed wealthy, and they lived in a four-bedroom, one-living room with a large courtyard, which was very spacious.
Although Qiao Xiuzhi and Qiao Zhenmin guessed that the Shen family was rich, they never expected to be so rich.
Qiao Zhenmin whispered to his mother: "Mom, before you said that Da Qiao's child is blessed, I didn't quite believe it, but now I believe it!"
If there is no luck, how can a child from the countryside be recognized as a goddaughter by someone like the Shen family
However, he is not jealous of his niece's luck at all. On the contrary, he hopes that she is really a lucky star, so that Xiao Wan'er can hope to be found!
Qiao Xiuzhi said "hmm" without saying anything.
But in my heart, I felt that the Shen family recognized Da Qiao as their goddaughter. In fact, it was the Shen family's blessing. As long as they sincerely treat Da Qiao well, there will always be times when they will be surprised in the future!
The Shen family was very hospitable and hospitable, and that night they prepared a very sumptuous dinner for Qiao Xiuzhi's mother and son.
Qiao Xiuzhi and Qiao Zhenmin stayed at Shen's house for one night, and the next day they met Chu Shengmei and took a car to the county seat.
On the third day, I arrived at the provincial capital by car, stayed in the provincial capital for another night, and then went to Nanshan County by car on the fourth day.
Chu Tianbai was a little surprised when he saw his sister brought two strangers back: "Shengmei, are they your friends?"
Chu Tianbai had never met these two people before, but when he saw Qiao Zhenmin, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw them.
Chu Shengmei was a little dizzy at this moment, she took her brother's hand and said, "Brother, I have something to tell you!"
Seeing his sister's expression, Chu Tianbai wondered in his heart whether she had done something to offend the two people in front of him.
But before he could speak, Dong Xue came out with her daughter Chu Wan in her arms: "Why do I seem to hear Shengmei's voice?"
Qiao Zhenmin saw a young and slim woman walking out of the house with a little girl in her arms. His eyes were fixed on the little girl, and his whole body trembled with excitement.
The little girl was lying on the woman's shoulder, but there was no way Qiao Zhenmin could have mistaken this back view, it was his little bowl!
"Little Wan'er! Little Wan'er! It's Dad..." His voice trembled like everyone else's.
Hearing Qiao Zhenmin's words, Chu Tianbai frowned, turned to look at his sister and asked, "What's going on? Who are they?"
Dong Xue became vigilant, hugged her daughter tightly and stared at them, asking, "Who are you?"
The daughter who had been quiet in her arms struggled at this moment.
Chu Wan turned her head and looked at the person behind her.
She didn't move at first, her expression was numb, and she didn't make a sound, but her eyes were fixed on Qiao Zhenmin.
Qiao Zhenmin's eyes were red, and he reached out to her and said, "Little Wan'er, it's Dad, do you remember Dad? That day Dad went to buy wontons for you at the station, and you disappeared when he came back. Dad has been looking for you all this time …”
Chu Wan still didn't make a sound.
Dong Xue was extremely disturbed.
She didn't know who the man in front of her was, but after being with her daughter for such a long time, she could feel the change in her daughter.
My daughter knows the man in front of me!
It's just why this man claimed to be Wanwan's father. Didn't Wanwan's parents die of illness
She subconsciously wanted to hide her daughter. She had already lost a daughter, and she couldn't bear to lose it again!
She hugged Chu Wan and turned around to run in.
Qiao Zhenmin stretched out his hand to stop him, but Chu Tianbai rushed up to stop him: "I don't care who you are, but I advise you not to move!"
Qiao Zhenmin watched his daughter disappear from his eyes again, his eyes were red, and the veins on his forehead were exposed.
At this moment, Chu Wan, who was carried away, cried out with a "wow": "Dad, I want Dad..."
Hearing their daughter speak suddenly, both Chu Tianbai and Dong Xue were overjoyed, and after the joy, they clicked again.
This "Father" is probably not called by Chu Tianbai, but by this strange man in front of him!
The husband and wife looked at each other, and both saw the heaviness in each other's eyes.
Chu Wan cried so hard that Dong Xue couldn't take her away directly, so she could only take her back.
Qiao Zhenmin said to Chu Tianbai with red eyes: "That's my daughter, my little Waner, let me hug her!"
After speaking, he stretched out his hands towards Xiao Wan'er, and Xiao Wan'er naturally leaned towards him.
Her body left Dong Xue's arms, almost falling to the ground, Dong Xue had no choice but to hug her to the man in front of him.
Qiao Zhenmin hugged the little bowl carefully, as if hugging a fragile glass bottle.
Then he hugged his daughter forcefully into his arms, as if he was afraid that if he let go, her daughter would disappear from his eyes again.
Chu Tianbai sighed, turned back and asked his sister, "Tell me, what happened."
When Chu Shengmei told the story, a group of people had already entered the living room of the Chu family.
Chu Tianbai wanted to say that the Qiao family must have made a mistake, but seeing his daughter quietly staying in the man's arms, he couldn't say that.
Qiao Xiuzhi hadn't opened her mouth since she arrived, but now she finally spoke up: "Comrade Chu, you have also seen that this child is indeed Qiao Dongwan, the lost child of our Qiao family, but why is she placed under the name of a couple who died of illness?" Come on, I think there must be something strange in this matter!"
The most likely thing is that the trafficker lied!
Chu Tianbai also thought of this: "I will ask someone to investigate this matter, but until the investigation is clear, you must stay in the Chu family."
Although he knew in his heart that Wanwan was most likely the other party's daughter, but before he found out, he still didn't want to just give up!
After Dong Xue knew the truth of the matter, she covered her face and cried directly.
Although they have only been together for just over two months, she really likes Wanwan, and she really treats her like a daughter.
Wanwan doesn't like to talk, she and her husband discussed it for a while and took her to see a doctor in Beijing, but unexpectedly...
Seeing his wife crying like this, Chu Tianbai felt uncomfortable, so he walked over and put his arms around his wife's shoulders.
Dong Xue cried and threw herself into her husband's arms, and she didn't care if so many people looked at her.
Seeing her eldest brother and sister-in-law so sad, Chu Shengmei lowered her head, feeling guilty and blaming herself.
—
Xiao Wan'er was brought to Nanshan County to be trafficked, and the Nanshan County Public Security Bureau handled the matter.
As Chu Tianbai's deputy county magistrate, he only needs to open his mouth to get the public security bureau to thoroughly investigate the case again.
In the prison, Hua Pozi's cousin couldn't take it anymore after being beaten a few times, and spit out the truth.
After everyone heard this, they were itching with hatred. They didn't expect to be tricked by a human trafficker!
Hua Pozi got a sum of money from selling the small bowl, and then her cousin was arrested and imprisoned. She was terrified at the time, worried that her cousin would confess her.
But in order to let her take care of her grandson, her cousin not only did not confess her, but also told her where she hid her savings. The only requirement is to take good care of her grandson.
She naturally agreed, and immediately rushed to her cousin's house and took out the money.
Oh my god, she didn't expect her cousin to hide so much money, a total of one thousand yuan!
She has never seen so much money in most of her life!
She was holding the money and her hands were shaking.
With her cousin's house, she didn't want to go back to Shannan Village, so she immediately brought her son to live in her cousin's house.
Living in my cousin's house and spending her cousin's money, these days are simply not too pleasant!
As for the cousin's grandson, he is just a child, so he can just give him something to eat. Of course, he can only eat what the two mother and child left over.
Want to eat meat? Don't even think about it!
This day, the small woman is scolding the puppy, who is her cousin's grandson: "You idiot who only knows how to eat every day. If you ask you to do something, you almost burn the kitchen down. Don't even think about eating tonight!"
The puppy hung his neck, stared and cursed: "You used my grandma's money, and you still don't let me eat, I'll tell my grandma to go next time!"
Hua Pozi jumped up, raised her hand and slapped him across the face: "Little bastard, let me tell you, your grandma will never get out of it in her life! If you are obedient, I will give you a bite to eat. If you are not obedient, I'll sell you back!"
Her cousin is already in her fifties, who knows if she will live to be released from prison in twenty years.
In other words, all the money for this house belongs to her and her son. As for this puppy, if you don't like it one day, you will sell it to the traffickers!
A slap print appeared on the puppy's oval face, glaring at Granny Hua viciously, spat at her and said, "Old witch, you must die!"
Hua Pozi was so angry that her face turned red, and she picked up the wooden stick on the ground and was about to beat him. At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Hua Pozi glared at Puppy: "Little brat, just wait for me and see how I deal with you!"
After she finished speaking, she went to open the door.
She was about to ask who it was, but when the door opened, two men rushed in and grabbed her arm.
Hua Pozi made a sound of killing pigs: "Who are you? Come on, someone is robbing you!"
A policeman kicked Mrs. Hua: "I advise you to save yourselves and return to the police station when you call!"
police station...
Hearing these three words, Hua Pozi's whole body went limp, a stream of yellow urine flowed out from her trousers, her face was as white as paper.
When the two policemen saw that she was scared to pee, they both looked disgusted.
The case soon became clear.
The identity of Hua Pozi's cousin as a human trafficker was also found out, and the number of children sold by her has reached hundreds. No wonder she was able to save more than a thousand yuan!
For committing so many crimes, she changed her 20-year imprisonment to be executed by shooting.
Although Hua Pozi sold Xiao Wan'er, she only did it once, and the circumstances were relatively minor, so she was only sentenced to ten years.
Granny Hua is very lucky, she is only fifty years old now, and she will be sixty years later, she will definitely live to be released from prison!
But before she had time to scream, she was stabbed to death by her cousin!
Cousin Hua learned from the police that Mrs. Hua lived in her house and spent her money, but did not treat her grandson kindly, she couldn't help being furious!
She was already dead, but Hua Pozi was only sentenced to ten years. When Hua Pozi got out, maybe she would continue to bully her grandson, so she decided to take Hua Pozi to hell with her!
Hua Pozi's eyes widened, and she looked at her cousin in disbelief: "You..."
Cousin Hua took out the knife and stabbed it hard again: "Let you abuse my grandson, let you abuse my grandson, I can't kill you!"
After stabbing Hua Pozi to death, she committed suicide before the police arrived.
Hua Pozi didn't close her eyes until she died, obviously she didn't rest in peace.
—
The case was solved, Xiao Wan'er was proved to be a child of the Qiao family, and the Chu family no longer had any reason to keep her.
Finally came the day of parting.
Dong Xue has been crying for several days, and now seeing the Qiao family holding the little bowl to leave, she cried again into tears.
Chu Tianbai put his arms around his wife's shoulders and comforted him in a low voice: "Okay, don't cry, you know that it is best for Wanwan to return to her family."
Dong Xue threw herself into her husband's arms, whimpering, "I know, I just... can't bear to..."
Qiao Zhenmin saw that the Chu family couple were so sad, and knew that they really liked Xiao Wan'er.
And in the end, I have to thank them for this matter. If it weren't for them, Xiao Wan'er might be sold to Shangougou as a child bride.
He remembered the fact that the Shen family recognized Da Qiao as their goddaughter, and said after a moment of silence: "If you want, you can recognize Xiao Wan'er as your goddaughter, and we will be relatives in the future."
Dong Xue raised her head from her husband's arms, her eyes were red: "Is it okay? Are you really willing to let Xiao Wan'er be our goddaughter?"
Qiao Zhenmin nodded heavily: "Little Wan'er was rescued by you, and she has to pay back this kindness in person when she grows up. This child's situation is so special, if a few more people like her, I will be happy as a father." It’s too late, why don’t you want to?”
Dong Xue wept with joy.
Chu Tianbai glanced at him gratefully: "Thank you, we are very willing to accept Xiao Wan'er and continue to be our daughter!" Even if it's just a daughter.
Because they wanted to recognize relatives, the Qiao family stayed in Nanshan County for two more days.
Dong Xue bought a lot of clothes and food for Xiao Wan'er, so that Qiao's family only had one bag when they came, but returned with big bags.
Back in Qili Village, the villagers were shocked when they saw that Qiao Zhenmin had brought his daughter back!
I lost it for more than two months, but I can still find it!
The Qiao family is too lucky, right
"Qiao Laowu, how did you find your daughter back?"
"That's right, tell everyone, did the deputy director of the police station help you?"
Qiao Xiuzhi and Qiao Zhenmin didn't say anything, and went straight back to Qiao's house with the little bowl in their arms.
As soon as he walked into the yard, Da Qiao rushed forward: "Grandma, I miss you so much, you are finally back!"
Being thrown into her arms by a delicate and soft dumpling, Qiao Xiuzhi's heart suddenly softened, she reached out and rubbed her head and said, "Will you be obedient when the milk is not around?"
Da Qiao nodded, and said in a soft voice: "Yes, I have always been very good."
Upon hearing this, Wan Chunju cursed secretly as a sycophant.
Beside her, Chen Qiaoqiao looked at her husband and daughter who were busy in the world, as if they were frozen, motionless.
On the day Xiaowan'er returned to Qiao's house, three more people came to Qili Village.
But this time the ones who came were not educated youths, but transferred from the labor reform farm.
