Chapter 60

~7 min read 1,345 words

Lu Qiao really wanted to say this was abuse, and then thought that some laws and regulations were not perfect now, and the crime of abuse was officially promulgated four years later.

Now husbands beating wives, parents beating children, or even abusing the elderly, what they can receive is only moral condemnation.

"And then?" Lu Qiao really wanted to know what the people in the neighborhood office did next.

Although Director Hu's personality seemed smooth, he actually couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes.

Director Hu was angry at the time.

After untying the rope on Liu Yu and pulling out the thing stuffed in his mouth, Liu Yu knelt in front of Director Hu, hugged his thigh and cried out that he dreamed about it, that it was Li Ying who pushed his mother into the yellow mud pond and drowned her. Mother wanted to climb up, and then was pressed by Li Ying and not allowed to come up."

Shao Le, who said this, hugged his arms and rubbed them. Not only did cold wind blow from his back, but goosebumps suddenly appeared.

Lu Qiao glanced at Shao Le, signaling him to continue.

"Liu Yu was only three years old at the time. He said he saw it in a dream. Li Ying couldn't admit it. She rushed over and hit Liu Yu like crazy. Because we were there, she didn't hit him. She sat on the ground crying and howling that she had raised him from the age of three, and she didn't expect Liu Yu to be grateful to her for raising her old age, but she couldn't dig her heart and lungs like this. She was really an ungrateful white-eyed wolf."

Lu Qiao frowned. Would a three-year-old child have such memories?

But if this scene was true, then this picture might have stayed in Liu Yu's mind or deep in his memory, and was suddenly touched one day.

But this cannot be used as evidence.

"Then what should we do now? Director Hu didn't come, and I wanted to report work to him."

"Director Hu took Liu Yu to the factory nursery. Director Hu didn't come yesterday afternoon either, but I heard that even the police station was alarmed."

The military factory in this era is a complete system. It can be said that you can satisfy all the needs of life without leaving the house.

The nursery was also built in the early years, and there are many orphans there.

Shao Le remembered something, and then lowered his voice again: "Master Liu has a daughter. It is said that he couldn't afford to raise her at that time and sent her away. She was five years old when she was sent away."

"Where was she sent? Did they say?"

"Master Liu said this matter was handled by Li Ying. She found a good family. The other party was in the army, and the couple had no children, promising to take good care of Liu Xia."

"So Master Liu doesn't know where his daughter is?" Lu Qiao asked with some confusion.

Shao Le nodded: "Not only Master Liu doesn't know, Li Ying also said that the person left a name at that time and then left, because their army is confidential."

Just then, Sister Qiao, who walked over from the corridor, shouted: "Lu Qiao, Shao Le, you two go to the archives. Director Hu just called and asked you two to check the information of Liu Yu's mother, Chai Xiaoyan."

Lu Qiao and Shao Le walked out of the neighborhood office, but Lu Qiao walked toward the big cafeteria.

Shao Le was puzzled, and Lu Qiao said to him: "No hurry to go to the archives, let's go to the big cafeteria to find Li Ying first."

Shao Le didn't ask Lu Qiao what she was looking for Li Ying for. He looked at Lu Qiao with great expectation, always feeling that she could ask something.

Li Ying worked in the big cafeteria, but she was not at the stove, but a warehouse keeper in Warehouse No. 1.

This was a very fat job. It is said that after her husband died, she was transferred directly here after taking over the job.

However, she was not the only warehouse keeper. Warehouse No. 1 alone had six or seven warehouse keepers.

Lu Qiao carried her satchel, which contained her diary and fountain pen that never left her side, and then her work permit.

After showing her work permit, she successfully found Li Ying.

Li Ying's complexion was not good. Knowing it was from the neighborhood office, her complexion immediately became worse: "What are you two looking for me for? You two comrades are too unprofessional, right? You believe whatever that little brat says?"

Lu Qiao immediately waved her hand and said: "Comrade Li, you misunderstood. Everything needs evidence, not just words."

Lu Qiao observed Li Ying's expression carefully while speaking.

This person was quite steady.

Or was she really innocent?

Li Ying then complained to the two: "You say I worked hard to raise him, but I raised an ungrateful white-eyed wolf who bit me. I am really aggrieved in my heart."

Lu Qiao and Shao Le didn't stop her complaints. After Li Ying talked for a long time, Lu Qiao said gently: "Comrade Li, we can both understand your mood. Look, you are still working now, and there is no gossip in the unit. Doesn't this prove that everyone didn't suspect you indiscriminately?"

Li Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and then sized up these two young people, frowned and said: "Then what are you two looking for me for?"

Lu Qiao said: "We just want to understand Liu Xia."

Li Ying was stunned. After a few breaths, she frowned and said very impatiently but very fluently: "You know about eleven years ago, right? At that time, our military factory was also very tense, and we couldn't even eat. Master Liu was sick for a long time because of his wife's incident. The four children relied on me to support them alone. It was really like drinking the northwest wind."

"It just so happened that someone came to me and said they wanted to adopt Liu Xia, saying the other party was in the army, but because the couple was going to be transferred, they wanted to adopt a child locally. In this way, the child would not only not know her life experience when she grew up, but also would not miss her biological father and mother. I discussed it with Master Liu, and he agreed."

Lu Qiao looked at Li Ying with heavy eyes.

Why did Li Ying give her the feeling that this was a prepared statement?

"Then do you remember if the other party mentioned which army they were in or where they were going?"

Li Ying's complexion darkened: "The words you ask, little girl, are so strange. How could we ask so clearly? Since the child has been adopted, don't miss the future. Besides, even if you ask, people won't tell you the truth."

Lu Qiao didn't argue with her, just nodded: "You are right, that is indeed the truth. Then can you remember what the other party looked like now? What accent? Who was the middleman?"

Obviously, this matter was not just asked by Director Hu and Officer Liu, but also by the police station.

Li Ying's eyes flickered, and she became even more impatient: "Anyway, I have a clear conscience. It's been more than ten years, how can I remember so much? Go ask Old Liu. The child was picked up from his hands at that time. After all, I just married Old Liu, and I couldn't be the master of his family."

So Chai Xiaoyan died, her good neighbor married her husband, and then her good husband sent Liu Xia away?

As for why Liu Yu wasn't sent away, maybe because Liu Yu was a boy?

This matter might really be very simple.

But if it wasn't simple, it must be very complicated!
