The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The golden sunset by the ferry river was like broken gold scattered on the ice in the river, showing dots of golden light, reflecting the whole ferry, as if it was hidden in a fairyland, very beautiful.

When she returned to the restaurant, someone was already waiting for her.

"Miss Jiang, I have arranged everything. There will be results in the next two days." When Hu Daxin saw her coming back, he hurried forward to inform her of the progress.

"Okay, thank you."

Hu Daxin left in a hurry, with an unconcealable look of joy on his face.

Jiang Muxia understood that there was progress in his marriage.

In the evening, Fuzi came back with the medicine, and there was one more person in the carriage.

"Sister Jiang, someone is looking for you." Fuzi took him to the restaurant and turned back to remind him, "When you are done, come over and call me, and I will take you back."

"Thank you."

Jiang Muxia and Li Jiyi were the only two people in the lobby, sitting at the table and checking accounts. She pointed to the opposite side and said, "Sit down."

She was still a little surprised to see this person. She thought the person looking for her would be Hu Zi, but unexpectedly it was Da Qi with a sick look on his face.

"You, you have something to ask me?"

She was a little surprised. What on earth did he come to see her for?

Daqi glanced at Li Jiyi out of the corner of his eye, as if he had some concerns.

She smiled and said, "He is my brother. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. There is no need to avoid him."

Da Qi hesitated before speaking slowly, "Miss Jiang, Hu Zi had a bad attitude today. I apologize to you on his behalf. He was afraid that we would be wronged, so he had an argument with you."

"I don't care." Jiang Muxia shook her head and asked her own doubts, "I still don't quite understand. There are not many beggars in Suanzao County, and there are even fewer young beggars like you. But how come so many of you suddenly appeared..." She was afraid of hurting his self-esteem and did not dare to say that they were little beggars.

He smiled bitterly and said, "We are not native to Suanzao County. The eight of us are children who escaped from the government-run nursery school in Yangguan County half a year ago."

"Escaped? Why?" Jiang Muxia and Li Jiyi asked in unison, with shock on their faces.

There was a layer of pain in Daqi's eyes. He supported his arms on the table, folded his hands and covered his forehead. Suppressed sadness emanated from his thin body.

Li Jiyi sat down next to him and stroked his back gently. Although he didn't know why he felt so emotional, he was younger than himself and had to bring so many children out to make a living. The sadness in his heart was self-evident.

After a brief emotional release, he raised his sleeve to wipe the corners of his eyes and smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Jiang Muxia said: "If it's inconvenient for you to say it, forget it..."

"No, I said." Da Qi took a breath, as if he was lost in memories, and continued, "Half a year ago, two people came to our nursery, a middle-aged couple. They brought a lot of food and clothes, and every child in the nursery got one. They looked gentle and always had a smile on their faces when they saw us. So the more than 30 children in our nursery had a good impression of them and liked them very much, including me."

He took a sip of water and continued, "At night, I had to pee urgently, so I went to the toilet. When I passed the director's room, I heard someone talking inside. I was half asleep and just wanted to finish my work quickly and go back to sleep. When I came back, the conversation in the room was not over yet. I half-heard words like 'the boy is sold' and 'I'll give you more money'."

"My mind suddenly woke up. But I didn't dare to say anything and ran back to the house. I couldn't fall asleep again because I remembered that in the nursery, healthy and young brothers and sisters would disappear for no reason seven or eight years ago. It was not until that night that I realized that they were sold by these people."

Jiang Muxia and Li Jiyi listened attentively, feeling indignant but not wanting to interrupt him.

"When it was daybreak, I couldn't help it, so I told Hu Zi, who was close to me. He was smart and had many ideas, so I asked him to think of a way to save these brothers and sisters. He thought for a long time and came up with the idea of ​​escaping with everyone."

He looked bitter. "However, there are more than 30 children, some of whom are disabled. How could they escape? Naturally, I did not agree. Besides, more than ten of them are under five years old. Even if they escape from the nursery, I am afraid they will be caught before they can get far."

"But time was running out. If we didn't act, they would be sold. The two of us gathered all the children over the age of three, and when we were cooking, we put drugs in the adults' food. When the drugs took effect, we took them away."

"Everything was going well. The adults fell asleep after dinner. The two of us took a dozen of our brothers and sisters and sneaked out through the back door. When we ran out of the city and looked back, we saw black smoke coming from the direction of the nursery. We were worried, so we asked them to hide in a dilapidated temple and covered them with grass. Then we ran back."

"When we got back, we found that the garden was on fire and the neighbors were busy putting out the fire. Hu Zi and I ran in and only pulled out three or four children. The rest...were all dead. We took these three or four back to the ruined temple and happened to meet the middle-aged couple dragging them into the car. We rushed over to stop them, and I was severely injured by the man. Later, we met the woodcutter, and they drove away in the car, but they took all the children away, leaving only two behind."

He looked guilty, "We killed them. If we hadn't thought about this, they would still be alive. I am truly sinful and unworthy of being a human being."

Li Jiyi frowned and asked, "Why don't you ask for help from other adults in the garden?"

"Of course he can't." Jiang Muxia sneered, "In this kind of government-run nursery, the people who take care of the children rely entirely on their conscience. If they lose their conscience, these children will become their punching bags and tools for making money. If he tells, all he'll get is selling and beatings."

Daqi nodded. "Miss Jiang is right. The adults in the garden never treat us as human beings. We don't have enough food to eat, and there is endless work to do. If you complain, at the very least you will not be fed for three days, or at the worst you will be whipped again."

"No one is in charge?" Li Jiyi said angrily.

Jiang Muxia said disdainfully: "Who cares? Once you enter there, in the eyes of outsiders, you're in a blessed place, with food and shelter, and you don't have to work. Why would you complain? If you say one more word, you'll be scolded and accused of being ungrateful."

In this world, people only believe what they want to believe. Who cares what the truth is?

"Alas, it's all in the past." Li Jiyi put his arm around his shoulders, "Let's all look forward."

Jiang Muxia murmured, "I finally understand why my brother built this nursery. There are never any children among the beggars on the street."

She said with a burning gaze, "He sent the little beggar to the orphanage before the kidnapper found him."

It turned out that he had known for a long time that someone in Suanzao County was kidnapping and selling children!

She suddenly asked, "Why did you choose to come to Suanzao County?"

Da Qi's eyes were burning with fire, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Because we accidentally discovered that the middle-aged couple was in Suanzao County, we suspect that they were the ones who started the fire."
