The two human traffickers originally thought that if the child was injured, it would definitely divert attention. They were also worried that if the child was fine, he might reveal their characteristics, making it difficult for them to escape.
But what no one expected was that this action would anger everyone.
It's already a new society, but there are still people who dare to use knives.
Everyone started looking for these two people.
If you see someone acting suspiciously, just start fighting.
The two human traffickers were discovered to be acting strangely before they even left the sugar factory. When they were called to ask questions, they were so guilty and short of breath that they showed their true colors.
"In short, he was caught and beaten."
Zhang Na, who had watched the whole process, came over to tell Wang Ying: "It was a terrible beating."
The police standing by were helpless, they just watched and watched as no one was killed.
Jiang Lin's uncle, the deputy director of the sugar factory, didn't care about his image at all and also went up to beat him severely.
Wang Ying: “It’s what you deserve.”
Criminals always have reasons to do so, but human traffickers alone have no humanity or hardship at all.
Wang Ying watched over the two children for a while, and when she saw that they were in better condition, she asked their families to send them to the hospital: "Children recover quickly, but we still need to be careful. I suggest that you let the children stay in the hospital for two more days until this matter calms down a bit."
There is no such thing as psychological safety nowadays, but Wang Ying is not reassured about this.
The child was first abducted and then stabbed. His physical injuries are recovering well, but I'm afraid he was just frightened.
Doctor Yang, who rushed over after hearing the news, also agreed: "Doctor Wang is right. When you go to the hospital, remember to counsel the child more and come back after he recovers."
This is also an intentional effort to avoid the environment of the family compound. Otherwise, when the child comes back, he will ask everyone he meets, which will make the child recall the past over and over again, which is not good.
Jiang Lin's aunt thanked them again and again, and the other family also sent the child to the hospital with tears in their eyes.
Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally, they were all caught."
After spending such a long time, we finally pulled out all the dirt and sent these heartless people to jail.
The spring of 1974 began with this grand event.
Because many people were involved and cases from several regions were brought together, the trial of this case took a lot of effort.
It was not until the fifteenth day that the truth was finally understood.
Chen Dong has the widest source of information. He was still furious when he talked to Wang Ying about it: "These people are no good. I heard they have been doing this for many years. They have been roaming around committing crimes and have kidnapped so many children that they don't even remember some of them."
"Children kidnapped from the city who were young were sold to other cities or to the communes. The older ones were sold to the mountains. Young wives were all sold to the mountains."
"That Xu Lei is no good either. The kid was lost here two years ago, and it was someone he contacted who set up the place. The one closest to our compound is also owned by our hotel. At that time, he was working as a waiter in the hotel just like him."
"Xu Lei is a beast. He kidnapped a three-year-old child. The family is still looking for her."
…
Just hearing about this kind of thing makes me unable to suppress my anger.
Wang Ying: "Well, now that we have found out, I hope we can find the child."
If a child is missing and the crime is committed by an acquaintance, it will be a huge blow to the parents if they cannot find the child.
I could comfort myself before, but now I am afraid I have to blame myself for everything and resent myself for making friends with a bad guy like Xu Lei.
Sure enough, after the news was confirmed, the police station began to send people to look for the child based on the testimony, and also notified the families who lost their children.
When Wang Ying got off work in the evening, she saw Xu Shuang coming to pick her up.
Wang Ying: "I told you not to answer the phone. I'm going to go shopping with Zhang Na today and then I'll meet you at the restaurant."
Ever since Wang Ying helped Jiang Lin, Jiang Lin has been sending gifts to Wang Ying in a weird way.
She was well-off and could send Wang Ying some Dahongpao tea, malted milk, and milk.
Wang Ying felt embarrassed to accept it, so she thought she should give a return gift. It was not necessary to give it to Jiang Lin, but she could prepare something for Jiang Lin's cousin, who had been in the hospital until now and had just been discharged in the past two days. Wang Ying thought about buying him a toy.
So she told Xu Shuang not to pick her up. She went shopping with Zhang Na and then went to the restaurant to meet him.
But Xu Shuang frowned: "I'm worried."
"Today the police informed those families of the situation."
To be precise, the police called someone to tell the truth in the afternoon. Xu Shuang watched a waiter in the hotel being called away. After he came back, he went to the kitchen to get a knife without saying a word.
Wang Ying was startled: "Is everything okay?"
Xu Shuang shook his head. He stopped the man and watched a grown man crying.
After crying, people struggle to settle the accounts.
After Xu Lei went in, these people had no way to vent their hatred, so they could only direct it at the remaining members of the Xu family.
Xu Shuang was afraid that Wang Ying didn't know the situation and returned without being prepared, so she hurried over to pick her up.
Wang Ying told Zhang Na that she was not going to buy anything and followed Xu Shuang.
"Is there any news from Xu Lei? It's impossible that he doesn't suffer any punishment at all, right?"
Xu Shuang: "He's in prison. I heard that at the very least he'll be locked up for life. If it's serious, it's hard to say..."
Wang Ying was a little curious: "He has been working for so many years, he must have saved some money, right? His money has not been found?"
"We found him. We couldn't find him at first because he kept his mouth shut. Later we found Zhang Yun. After all, they are a couple. Zhang Yun helped the police find him."
Xu Shuang was a bit confused: "He saved a thousand dollars and hid it in a broken stove in an abandoned house outside. After Zhang Yun helped find it, he told the police everything. He wanted to take the money and sneak to Hong Kong Island alone."
Wang Ying: "Going to Hong Kong Island? We are a million miles away from Hong Kong Island."
They are already in the north, and it takes several days and nights to get to the south by train, and they still go to Hong Kong Island...
Xu Shuang: "This guy is smart, but also stupid. He was an average student in school, but he just felt that his talent was not appreciated."
Wang Ying: “Haha, I see.”
Can't you be so confident in writing a love letter in pinyin
"The police station checked all his belongings. He also wrote a lot of poems. The main idea was that he felt that the country had delayed him, otherwise he would have been very capable. He wanted to take the thousand dollars to buy a house in Hong Kong Island and live a good life."
Wang Ying: “…”
What can you do with a thousand dollars
Does this person really think that Hong Kong Island is a paradise? How is this different from those people in the 1980s who believed that a certain country was full of gold and that washing dishes could earn $300,000 a month
Wang Ying didn't want to say anything anymore. It was obvious that this person had a crooked brain.
Xu Shuang brought Wang Ying to the restaurant, and after Xu Shuang finished her work, the two went home together.
I thought that if I went back later, the matter in the compound would be settled, but when I got there, I saw a group of people still gathered around the Xu family. At night, with the lights on, there were many people, but not many people were talking, but there were occasional sobs and cries.
Aunt Liu was very frightened. When she saw them coming back, she hurried over to greet them and protected Wang Ying as she sent her home.
"Don't come out, this is not going to stop."
Wang Ying saw that everyone was gathered outside and couldn't see what was happening inside the Xu family, so she asked softly, "What's this?"
Aunt Liu's heart still beats when she thinks about it: "People came in the afternoon. All the four families who lost their children came. They started to make a scene, crying and cursing. Aunt Xu and her husband took Xu Dabao and hid inside and refused to come out. When the people saw what was happening, they started to smash things..."
If she hadn't stopped them, these people would have demolished the two houses of the Xu family.
Aunt Liu had lived in the same courtyard with the Xu family for many years. Even though she disliked this family, she was still frightened by such a sudden change.
"The police came twice, but they refused to persuade them to leave. They just smashed the house. Two families wanted to take Xu Dabao out, but they were stopped by others."
The Xu family's house was completely destroyed, and all the useful items in the house were smashed.
Aunt Liu sighed: "What a sin."
Wang Ying and Xu Shuang returned home, and neither of them spoke much.
…
The Xu family was completely ruined, and everything in the house was smashed to pieces. It was because their family was full of old and weak people that the invaders didn't beat anyone up.
However, the police station did not dare to take it lightly and sent two people to watch here and keep persuading them.
Xu Lei has already been arrested, but he is afraid that these people will be too angry and might implicate him.
The street office and Aunt Liu also helped to persuade the man, and finally he left.
Aunt Xu no longer dared to live in the yard.
She cried and asked the police station to take care of her: "I don't live here!"
Those people's eyes were red, who knows if he would come and kill them in the middle of the night!
Aunt Xu felt that the recent days were like a nightmare from which she could not wake up.
How come her son became a beggar out of nowhere
He even spoke in a very convincing manner, saying how many people he had kidnapped and how heartless he was.
At first, Aunt Xu wanted to find someone to ask for clarification, she just refused to believe it.
But when the victims came to her door, Aunt Xu backed off.
Now even the police say it is true, and Aunt Xu’s extravagant hopes are gone.
It is naturally impossible for the police officers from the police station to take the person back. The police station is not a guesthouse. Besides, there is no place for them to stay.
Aunt Xu was desperate and tried everything she could think of: "Then send us to Zhang's house!"
She didn't care about anything else now and just wanted to find Zhang Yun.
Now that Xu Lei is in jail, the only person she can rely on is her daughter-in-law Zhang Yun.
The police knew the inside story. Zhang Yun had cooperated with them on many matters and provided a lot of evidence. When they heard that this old woman was shameless and wanted to look for her divorced daughter-in-law, they all looked down on her.
"Comrade Zhang put an announcement in the newspaper yesterday saying he had severed ties with your son. Didn't you know that?"
Although Zhang Yun was still hesitant about Xu Dabao's fate, her parents saw clearly. They made the decision almost immediately and took advantage of the Chinese New Year to find a newspaper to announce that they were severing their relationship with Xu Lei.
Once the relationship is severed, they naturally become two families.
Aunt Xu's eyes were red with anger: "What?!?"
Zhang Yun actually cut off relations with her son? ! Why!
"What a heartless thing! Doesn't she want her son anymore?! Take me there! I want to ask this bitch about it! I want to report her! She abandoned her husband and son!"
Aunt Xu was crazy and couldn't bear the betrayal brought by her daughter-in-law.
Aunt Liu tried to hold back but couldn't hold back any longer: "Just shut up! I've never seen anything like your family. First you tricked someone into being a fool for ten years, and now your own son is a kidnapper. How dare you pick on them? You are the one with no shame!"
Aunt Ma had also been watching for a long time, and now she started to curse, "That's right! Your family is worthless! How dare you say that! If you want to leave, leave now, and don't stay here anymore, you're bringing trouble to our reputation!"
Aunt Ma was very angry because her youngest son had been on blind dates recently and all of them turned down a favor.
People all disliked the fact that there was a beggar living in their yard.
Aunt Ma now wishes that Aunt Xu and her whole family would get out of this compound!
The best thing to do is to drive them away and divide the house among your own family.
Aunt Xu was still going crazy. She wouldn't listen to anyone else and insisted on going to find Zhang Yun.
The police officers looked at each other and no one was willing to send the person away.
The Zhang family's attitude was very clear. No matter what Zhang Yun thought, the two elders of the Zhang family meant that the relationship was over and the child was not wanted. They would not pursue Xu Lei's misdeeds. After all, Xu Lei's kidnapping of the child was enough to keep him in prison until he died. They just wanted their daughter to stay away from this leech family.
Aunt Xu had been making a fuss for several days, and she took Xu Dabao to visit Zhang Yun's parents' home.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yun's parents' home was heavily guarded, and the security department stopped them directly. Aunt Xu couldn't even make a scene in front of Zhang Yun.
Aunt Xu had no choice. The family had no income, her son was in prison, and Zhang Yun was no longer available for her to rely on.
The street office was also afraid that she would become restless, so after discussing it with the school, they came up with a solution.
So when Wang Ying returned home that day, she found that the two houses of the Xu family next door were empty.
Aunt Liu: "The street office didn't want them to live here either, so after discussion they gave them two rooms with separate entrances and exits."
The location is definitely not as good as here. This old residential area is close to both factories and schools, and life is very convenient.
Of course Aunt Xu didn't want to leave, but what else could she do
Her family has a very bad reputation, and people around them point fingers at them. The old couple has no income, and they have to support Xu Dabao, so they can only move house. If they move there, someone will arrange some work for her making matchboxes.
She wanted to force Xu Dabao to marry Zhang Yun several times, but Xu Dabao held back because she had been saying bad things about Zhang Yun in Xu Dabao's ear for years, and Xu Dabao was unwilling to follow Zhang Yun even if he died.
Zhang Yun's parents thought, isn't this a deal? They agreed to pay five yuan a month in child support, but they didn't even have to meet in person.
In fact, Zhang Yun’s parents have already made plans, thinking about finding a decent marriage partner for Zhang Yun, and it would be best if the couple could also adjust their jobs so that they don’t have to stay in the local area.
…
The Xu family disappeared from Wang Ying's life, and spring had arrived.
Xu Shuang took Wang Ying back to the Seventh Brigade.
The heavy snow melted and the roads in the brigade were clear. Xu Shuang rode a bicycle and carried the people steadily.
There were candy gifts hanging on the handlebars.
As soon as she arrived in the town and crossed the mountain, Wang Ying saw an acquaintance.
“Apricot blossom!”
Tian Xinghua ran up excitedly, carrying a small medicine box, "Sister Ying! Why are you back?"
After Wang Ying left, Tian Xinghua took over the job of barefoot doctor in the brigade. Wu Guihua finally made her daughter a government employee, and she was so happy that she was floating on the ground.
"Let's come back and have a look..."
Tian Xinghua then saw Wang Ying's bulging belly and stammered, "Sister Ying, you, you, you are pregnant?"
Wang Ying nodded and smiled, "She's pregnant. She's been pregnant for more than five months now."
Tian Xinghua was more excited than Wang Ying: "That's great!"
Over the years, Wang Ying helped everyone plant honeysuckle and build the village primary school. The villagers remembered this friendship. As for the fact that Xu Shuang and Wang Ying had no children, everyone also talked about it, thinking that the young couple was infertile.
Who would have thought that they got pregnant almost on time after entering the city!
Tian Xinghua jumped up and down happily: "Come on, come on, come on, come to our house for lunch today. My mom has been talking about you."
Wang Ying: "No, is our team okay this winter?"
Tian Xinghua: "It's going great! The harvest from honeysuckle was good last year, and the team leader said that we're going to expand the area this year. By the way, we've even expanded the orchard, and they said they're going to start planting some hawthorns this year..."
Wang Ying listened patiently to what Tian Xinghua said and nodded continuously.
It was not until they reached the village entrance that Tian Xinghua seemed to remember something and slapped her head.
"By the way, Sister Ying, there's something you may not know. Your uncle, Wang Yongshun, has been released. He just returned to our team a few days ago."
