Jiang Muxia reacted quickly and dodged their kneeling. Tang Zhongbai stepped forward and helped them up. "Uncle and aunt, there is no need to do this."
The girl behind the middle-aged couple kowtowed to Jiang Muxia and said, "Thank you for saving me, sister. I am willing to work like a cow or a horse to repay your kindness."
Jiang Muxia looked at her, this pretty girl with a determined face and bright eyes.
She is orchid.
She looked the same as in her previous life, and her frail body made her feel soft in her heart. She and Tao'er were two extremes. They were both burdened by their parents, but their lives were very different.
She felt sorry for the timid and cowardly Tao'er, but she admired this girl from the bottom of her heart, who could bravely support her precarious family no matter how big the setbacks were.
"Hurry up." Jiang Muxia stepped forward and pulled her up, saying softly, "I don't need your repayment. It's not my style to repay a favor."
Lancao raised her head and looked at her with gratitude in her eyes.
"Everyone, please stop standing here." Lu Chaoyun greeted the middle-aged couple with a smile, "Sister, the child is sleeping in the backyard room, please follow me."
The family of three hurriedly followed Lu Chaoyun into the backyard.
As soon as she entered the room, the woman rushed to the bed, picked up the boy, and burst into tears, "My son, you scared me to death."
Lu Chaoyun smiled and said, "Sister, I've already consulted a doctor. The child is fine. When he wakes up, he will still be a lively and healthy child."
The woman nodded gratefully to Lu Chaoyun and said, "Thank you very much. We want to take the child home and come back to thank you another day."
Lu Chaoyun nodded and said with a smile, "Of course, you don't have to come here specially. When encountering such a thing, everyone will help. I am also a parent, and I know how you feel. We should all take this as a warning and always keep an eye on our children. These kidnappers are too hateful, and it is hard to guard against them."
The middle-aged couple echoed him, and the man picked up the boy and left the room.
When passing through the lobby, the family of four thanked everyone profusely and left the restaurant.
There was a bit more determination in Lancao's eyes than when she came. She said hello to Jiang Muxia and went home with her parents.
In their eyes, the storm was over.
But Jiang Muxia knew that this was just the beginning.
Xu Da inadvertently met her gaze, and sensed something from her deep gaze. He nodded and said, "Tang Juecao, I'm afraid you have something to do."
"You mean..." Tang Zhongbai understood, "You are right, these two kidnappers must be in a gang. Now that they have been arrested, their accomplices will definitely not stand idly by..."
The next moment he stood up suddenly, as if he had suddenly woken up, "I'm afraid that Uncle and Aunt Lan are in trouble."
He ordered Tang San and Tang Si, "You two should quickly catch up with the Lan family, follow them from a distance, and guard outside their house. If you find anyone behaving abnormally in front of their house, arrest them immediately and send them to the government office."
The two were ordered to leave in a hurry, and everyone in the lobby sat around the table in silence.
The three children felt the heaviness in the air and sat at another table looking at each other, at a loss as to what to do.
"Come here, sister." Jiang Muxia waved to Suanzao.
The little girl slid down the bench and carefully came over to her.
Jiang Muxia reached out and held her in her arms, and asked softly, "Are you scared today?"
Suanzao looked up at her, nodded slightly, and whispered, "Sister, did those two bad guys we met harm my little brother?"
It seems that this incident has caused great shock to her heart. She is weak and if she doesn't resolve her worries, the child may have nightmares at night.
This little body has to be bedridden again.
My own sin is huge.
"Good girl, look after your sister." Jiang Muxia put her on her lap and called the two boys to her side. "You three remember, as long as your sister and brothers are here, no one can hurt you. We are your biggest support."
She then said to the two boys, "You two are brothers, you should help your sister protect your sister, okay?"
Mu Yang and Tie Dan nodded and agreed in unison: "Don't worry, sister, we will definitely protect our sister."
Suanzao hugged her tightly. The little person in her arms was very thin and small. She stretched out her right hand and gently stroked her back, her eyes full of heartache.
Jiang Muxia had an idea in her mind. She had to let these children have the ability to protect themselves.
……
Late at night, Jiang Muxia left Tiedan and his sister in the restaurant, and Suanzao slept in the same bed with her.
The child curled up in her arms like a kitten, murmured from time to time and shook his body from time to time.
Jiang Muxia held her in his arms, patted her back gently, and fell asleep while hugging her.
Half asleep and half awake, I faintly heard someone knocking on the restaurant door.
The knocking on the door was urgent, one after another, as if the man would not stop until he achieved his goal.
Jiang Muxia heard the sound of the door of the right wing room opening. It was Li Jiyi getting up.
She tried hard to open her eyes, gently put the child in her arms, tucked in the quilt, and went downstairs in the dark.
What happened during the day made her feel uneasy, and she was worried about Li Jiyi going to open the door alone.
She was worried that the kidnappers had come to her at night to seek revenge. They were cruel and ruthless. If anything happened to Li Jiyi, she would be guilty of a serious crime.
She couldn't face her aunt's family.
She opened the door and rushed to the lobby.
Li Jiyi held up an oil lamp and walked slowly towards the gate in the dim light. As he walked, he asked the person outside, "Who is it?"
A voice came from outside the door, "It's me, Gousheng's sister."
Jiang Muxia was stunned. It was Lancao. Why was she running to the restaurant in the middle of the night? Did something big happen in her family again? Didn't Tang San and Tang Si wait outside her house?
Jiang Muxia rushed to the door, unbolted it, and opened the door with a bang.
Lancao was standing alone outside the door. In the light, I could see that she was still wearing the same dark earth-gray dress she had worn in the afternoon. Her little face was red from the cold, and her clothes were covered in dust, perhaps from falling while traveling on the road.
Jiang Muxia quickly reached out and pulled her into the house. He then leaned outside the door, looked around, and closed the door after making sure that there was no one there.
The lobby was still warm. Li Jiyi put the lamp on the table, glanced at Lancao, and asked unhappily, "Girl, why are you not at home in the middle of the night and going to the restaurant?"
Lancao stood at the door, rubbing her hands and brushing off the dust on her body.
She ignored Li Jiyi and went straight to the point and said to Jiang Muxia, "Sister Jiang, I came here to tell you. Several men came to my house tonight. They threatened us and asked my parents to go to the government office tomorrow to inform the bailiffs. My family knew the kidnappers during the day, and my parents entrusted my younger brother to them to take him to the county to play." Her eyes were full of anger, "They said that if we don't do what they said, no one in our family will be saved..."
Before she finished speaking, she glanced at Jiang Muxia guiltily. Seeing that Jiang Muxia was not unhappy, she continued, "My parents will go to the government office to explain tomorrow morning. I'm worried that they will cause trouble for you... It's our family that has let you down..."
Jiang Muxia was shocked. Aren’t Tang San and Tang Si guarding outside their yard?
How could such a thing happen?
