Chapter 185

After having breakfast at the Song family, Lin Zhao brought her cousin and the twins back to the village.

Before leaving the county, the group came to the property in the city.

Compared to before, the courtyard was like two different houses.

The broken tiles were knocked down and replaced with new ones. The collapsed low wall was rebuilt, and the new wall was very high, a full two meters or more. The weeds in the courtyard were all pulled out, and although it hadn't been paved with broken bricks and gravel yet, it was cleaned up. The moldy and dilapidated windows were replaced with new ones, and the newly replaced ones were atmospheric and bright.

At this time, the workers were installing the door.

"The speed is so fast!" Lin Zhao was surprised.

"These are the most reliable workers who work the most efficiently, of course it's fast." Yunjin said with a smile, "My dad comes to see it every day, and the foreman even finds him an eyesore."

The foreman was someone Great Uncle Song was familiar with; he wouldn't find him an eyesore, he just felt that this person was in the way.

Lin Zhao was moved, "I've troubled Great Uncle."

"Great Uncle Song is very happy!" Yunjin understood his own father's heart too well, "Sister, you asked him for help, and he did it willingly; he didn't feel tired at all. My dad also said that the weather is getting cold quickly, and he wants to help you renovate the courtyard early so you can move in sooner."

They have a lot of rain here. The Harvest Brigade is not close to the county, so it's inconvenient to commute on rainy days.

"Great Uncle is so good." Lin Zhao's heart was incredibly warm.

Yunjin nodded. That's right, his dad was top-notch good to his sister, the kind that was especially attentive.

The more his sister "ordered" him around, the happier he was.

After seeing the house, Lin Zhao and the others returned to the village.

Waking up early in the morning and not seeing their father and mother, the boy-girl twins were making a fuss, the brother sulking, the sister crying and making a scene.

The two sisters, Xuanxuan and Zhengzheng, were coaxing them, but it was useless.

Qian Bao curled up into a ball with his little butt sticking out, giving them a grumpy back, while Seeing Yaobao hugged her cloth doll, looking up and crying, big teardrops rolling down her cheeks, crying and calling for Daddy and Mom, her little milky voice aggrieved and pitiful.

Lin Zhao had just arrived at the front gate when she heard the sobbing.

She walked quickly into the courtyard.

Seeing Yaobao's crying stopped abruptly, and she looked at her mother blankly, suddenly scratched her face, stumbled toward her, and reached out to be held.

Lin Zhao picked up the little girl, wiped the tears off her face, didn't ask why she was crying, and praised, "Who tied your little braids? They look so good."

The little clever one also knew this was praise, was distracted, smiled to reveal her little rice teeth, and pointed at Xuanxuan.

Lin Zhao: "Is it Sister Xuanxuan? Sister Xuanxuan is pretty and has skillful hands, right?"

Xuanxuan blushed shyly.

Song Yunjin put down his luggage, took two White Rabbit milk candies from his pocket, and gave them to the Lin sisters, "Xuanxuan, Zhengzheng, have some candy."

"Thank you, Cousin." The two little girls accepted them generously and thanked him.

Yunjin raised his eyebrows.

These two girls seemed to have changed.

He didn't take it to heart, stepped forward, and picked up Qian Bao.

Qian Bao also saw that Mom had returned, secretly glanced at Lin Zhao, didn't make a sound, and continued to turn his back, his back round and chubby, his little cheeks puffed out, like a little angry frog.

Now being picked up by his uncle, the air in the child's chest was like a balloon pricked by a needle.

"Uncle." The little milky voice called out.

The voice was soft and drawn out.

Almost in an instant, it awakened all the love in Song Yunjin's body, and his gentle and delicate face was filled with smiles.

"Hey, Qian Bao still recognizes me!" The teenager's voice was full of joy.

Qian Bao replied seriously, "Recognize."

"Great." Yunjin rubbed his face.

Lin Zhao washed Seeing Yaobao's face and applied some fragrant cream. The little dumpling didn't want to get down and walk, her white arms like lotus roots hanging around her mother's neck, her little head arching and arching.

"Clingy bag." Lin Zhao touched her daughter's little tufts.

Seeing Yaobao shook her head and wouldn't let her touch, baring her teeth to bite her face; the child with teeth was very naughty.

Lin Zhao dodged and pinched the child's cheek lightly, "No biting people. If you open your mouth to bite people again, I'll spank your butt."

Xiang Yubao laughed, "Mom, Seeing Yaobao doesn't bite people, she gnaws on people, gnawing all over people's faces with saliva."

"Seeing Yaobao is so obedient." Lin Zhao said.

Gu Hangbao's inner OS: Not obedient at all!

His sister had bitten him and his brother before, and his brother had disciplined her for a long time before she broke the bad habit. He was about to get angry, but his brother said his sister was teething and loved to bite everything, and they were older brothers and had to teach their sister patiently.

Seeing Yaobao opened her mouth and smiled, her eyes as bright as the evening stars, "Bao is obedient."

Looking around, she immediately said: "Daddy?"

Xiang Yubao remembered the train that was moving further and further away, and his black, bright eyes were covered with a layer of mist.

Afraid that Lin Zhao would notice, he hurriedly lowered his head, took a cloth doll to coax his sister to laugh, and diverted Seeing Yaobao's attention.

"Seeing Yaobao, Brother will play with you." Xiang Yubao coaxed gently, "Get down, don't keep letting Mom hold you, Mom will be tired."

He was the big brother and had to help Mom take care of his younger brother and sister.

Seeing Yaobao loosened her arms, and after her legs touched the ground, she raised her little fist and hit Lin Zhao's waist.

"Seeing Yaobao is pounding Mom's waist." Lin Zhao was pleasantly surprised.

"Mm, not tired." The little cutie of that size was very serious.

Lin Zhao's heart almost melted, "Alright, Mom is not tired."

Qian Bao sulked a little, but soon forgave his mother and walked over to hold her hand.

The child's hand was small and soft, especially healing. Lin Zhao held his hand in her palm, "Qian Bao is not angry with Mom anymore?"

Qian Bao shook his head and leaned against his mother.

Lin Zhao rubbed his little face, her eyes gentle.

She had never seen a child as obedient as her Qian Bao; he was too obedient and saved too much worry, never crying.

"Sister, which room do I sleep in?" Song Yunjin asked without being polite.

"I know, I'll take Cousin to it." Zhengzheng said, greeting her cousin and walking toward the empty room.

Waking up too early in the morning, Lin Zhao and the twins were all sleepy, so the mother and her two sons returned to the room to make up for their sleep. Xiang Yubao and Gu Hangbao didn't return to their own room but followed Lin Zhao.

Lin Zhao stopped, her eyes suspicious.

"Mom, we haven't slept together in a long time, hehe." The two identical children said with a giggle.

Well, half the bed had to be given up again.

"Alright, sleep obediently, don't keep talking, okay?" Lin Zhao made a request.

The two cubs stood straight, their expressions obedient, and nodded twice.

With Yunjin and the Lin sisters, Lin Zhao didn't need to take care of the boy-girl twins, and this sleep was very comfortable.

?

In the county.

Two Gongan who had been watching a courtyard for several days finally discovered something wrong.

"Just now, a little hand appeared in the bamboo basket, right?" The young Gongan said in disbelief, his voice dry.

The older one nodded, "Didn't you see it with your own eyes? What's there to be suspicious about?"

"But..." The young Gongan stammered, "But isn't this household living alone? And she's a mute, she has no children, and no relatives were found. Where did that child come from?!"

He hadn't been a Gongan for long, as simple as a student who had just graduated, and never speculated about others with malice.

The older Gongan glanced at him; still too young.

Having a premonition that this was not a small case, he said, "Watch carefully. If this case is handled well, your regularization won't be a problem."

The little Gongan's eyes lit up.

"I will!"

At the end of the street.

The woman with a mole between her eyebrows felt her heart thumping uncontrollably; the closer she got to the destination, the more irritable she felt.

She suddenly stopped, temporarily changed her route, and walked back.

Having been in this line of work for many years, her body's sixth sense had kept her safe until now. Sister Xia trusted that faint feeling very much; as long as it felt wrong, she would immediately adjust her plan.

Calmly leaving the spot, she didn't show up again for the next few days and honestly did her own thing.

Two days later in the evening, several Gongan rushed into the bungalow and found two children in the courtyard's cellar.

At the same time, another team of Gongan came to the Harvest Brigade and rushed directly into the Diao family.

The people in the village were shocked.

They carried their rice bowls and ran over to join the fun.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, what's the situation?"

"Why did the Diao family attract the Gongan? Who in their family broke the law??!!"

"Don't know. Several Gongan rushed in and tied up the Diao family, still don't know what's going on..."

The villagers crowded at the Diao family's gate were talking about the latest news.

The Gu family twins were also there. With them there, little friends like Yuan Bao and Mao Dan'er were definitely there too, all excitedly watching, their eyes filled with curiosity.

"Wow, it's really Uncle Gongan!"

The children's attention was on the Gongan, casting admiring glances.

"Xiang Yubao, Gu Hangbao, those people are wearing the same clothes as your dad, so cool!" Ye Tie Niu's tone rose.

Xiang Yubao looked twice and shook his head, "They are different."

He explained: "My dad is a soldier, a soldier who protects the country. Those uncles are Gongan, Gongan who maintain social order."

Ye Tie Niu didn't understand but felt it was powerful, thinking Xiang Yubao knew so much, and asked: "Xiang Yubao, what is society?"

"Society..." Xiang Yubao, who hadn't gone to school, was stumped.

Don't look at him talking about everything in a logical way; in fact, he just heard it from others. He had a good memory and just happened to remember it.

Xiang Yubao went to pull Song Yunjin, who was enjoying the commotion, "Uncle, what is society?"

Society?

The question without a beginning or end stunned Student Song.

"Society is a group, all of us, old people, children, male comrades, female comrades, together, that is society."

Is there any problem with this explanation?

Xiang Yubao suddenly understood.

He said to Ye Tie Niu: "Heard it, my uncle said it."

Ye Tie Niu understood half and didn't want to show weakness in front of his little friends, so he puffed out his chest and raised his head: "Mm-hmm, heard it."

The Gu family, while watching the fun, didn't ignore the few cubs. Hearing their muttering, they were laughing their heads off inside.

Diao family courtyard.

Diao Tuozi's honest face was filled with panic, "Comrade Gongan, what are you doing? Our family is honest and does our duty, we haven't done anything bad."

His wife died early, and he raised several sons alone. The sons all married wives, and there were several grandchildren.

At this moment, seeing the Gongan come to the door, the Diao family's daughters-in-law only felt a disaster from heaven, their hearts filled with anxiety.

The courtyard was very messy.

A Gongan in his early forties walked out of the kitchen.

His gaze glanced coldly at the Diao family, landing on Diao Tuozi, his eyes like knives.

"The evidence is in the kitchen, in the secret cellar under the water vat."

As soon as his words fell, two Gongan moved out many valuable things: large pieces of cured meat, a bag of white flour, cloth, malted milk extract, canned food...

These were all good things for the villagers, making people's mouths water.

"Why does the Diao family have so many good things?"

"Hiss!"

"Is that canned food? Is that malted milk extract? Such a large piece of cured meat? And high-quality flour?! Who said the Diao family couldn't even afford to eat? This is called not being able to afford to eat? Then what is my family?!"

The people watching the fun were shocked and broken, falling into a huge trance.

"?"

Just as everyone was confused, the leading Gongan said coldly: "Take them back to the police station."

Looking at the things in the courtyard, Diao Tuozi's face was ashen.

"My son doesn't know anything." He said.

The Gongan was expressionless, "It's not up to you to say."

In front of the evidence, Diao Tuozi couldn't argue and was escorted out of the house with his head buried.

After going out, seeing the children in the village, his eyes paused on the Gu family boy-girl twins, and he continued to walk forward.

Lin Zhao frowned, feeling that this person was very strange.

She was bold and wouldn't be afraid to ask the Gongan, so she asked directly: "Comrade Gongan, what happened to the Diao family?"

The Gongan didn't hide it, "We found out that Diao Tuozi's identity is unknown, and he is also suspected of abducting children..."

As soon as these words came out, the scene boiled over.

"What?" Gu Mu raised her voice, her voice several decibels higher than usual, "Diao Tuozi is a child trafficker?! How is that possible?! Their family has been in our brigade for several years, very honest and dutiful, how could they be child traffickers?"

Gu Mu's old friend, Old Lady Qian, pulled Gu Mu's arm, "You're getting old and confused. If the Diao family hadn't been doing something else, could they have had so many good things? You don't even have that many good things in your family, right?"

"That's true, no family can take out so many good things." Only Third Daughter-in-law might have them, Gu Mu thought uncertainly.

Old Lady Qian continued: "Look, the Diao family must have done dirty things!"

Gu Mu knew her old friend made sense and looked at the Diao family complexly, "Abducting children is a business that loses conscience and goes to hell after death. Diao Tuozi, did you really do it?"

Diao Tuozi didn't speak and continued to walk forward.

If you go to hell, then go to hell. Who cares about things after death?

His expression didn't change, he wasn't affected, and he didn't care about being spurned.

Lin Zhao thought of something and suddenly spoke, "Zhang Manyue targeted Qian Bao. Did you give her the idea?"

Diao Tuozi stopped, turned to look at her, and smiled, "I didn't say it directly."

Thinking of that weak woman who only knew how to cry, his wrinkled old face was filled with disdain.

"I just said the twins were valuable."

"Wanting to trade your son for a son was something that woman thought of herself."

The old guy looked at her, "Not moving children in one's own village is my habit."

Lin Zhao sneered.

Proud of it?

Such a punchable old guy.

Just as she wanted to say something...

"What? My Qian Bao being stolen by Zhang Manyue has something to do with you?" Gu Mu realized and rushed up to hit Diao Tuozi, but was stopped by the Gongan.

"Comrade, he will be punished by the law."

Gu Mu withdrew her hand and spat at Diao Tuozi, "You stinky thing without virtue, let's see what good your old Diao family can get."

The young Gongan couldn't help but say: "Auntie, when this family came to your brigade to settle down, the materials they brought to prove their identity were stolen from others. They don't have the surname Diao."

"What? Even the surname is stolen?!" Gu Mu was shocked, "What is real about their family? Diao Tuozi, you wouldn't even be a man, would you."

This couldn't be tolerated. Diao Tuozi instantly lost his calmness, his face red and neck thick as he said: "If I'm not a man, where did my son come from?"

Gu Mu was so angry she could kill, "Who knows, you have to ask yourself."

Diao Tuozi's face turned green with anger.

Just as he was about to speak, Diao Tuozi's second son looked at his father in disbelief, "Dad, you really... you really abducted children?"

Diao Tuozi was ruthless to other people's children but good to his own sons.

He looked away, "These have nothing to do with you."

Hearing his own father admit it, Diao Tuozi's sons lowered their heads lower and lower.

His grandchildren were all at an age where they understood things. Knowing that their grandfather sold children to buy them good things, they were all blank, standing there blankly.

Grandfather, didn't Grandfather say that he had saved up a thick family fortune when he was young?

Diao Tuozi's second son's eyes were red, he knelt down powerlessly, covered his face with his hands, and shouted in despair and collapse: "Dad, how could you do such a foolish thing? My big brother was abducted by child traffickers!"

"My mother was also angered to death by child traffickers. She didn't even close her eyes when she died. How could you do this kind of business? When did you start doing it?"

Thinking of the children who went missing that he heard about in the past two years, he was full of despair, "Dad, was the child stolen from the Dongfeng Brigade the year before last done by you?"

Diao Tuozi was silent.

Seeing this scene, the village was in an uproar.

Wang Chunhua said: "After that family's child was lost, the wife went crazy, the man went out to find the child and never came back, heard he died outside. The child's grandmother died that winter, heard she was calling the grandson's name before she died... Didn't expect the child trafficker to be in our village."

Saying this, she felt waves of lingering fear in her heart.

Everyone had goosebumps all over, looking at Diao Tuozi with horror and precaution.

The Gongan didn't delay any longer and escorted the Diao family away.

This matter instantly spread throughout the entire commune.
