Seeing Li Cuihua hesitate, the villagers felt a chill in their hearts.
“Li Cuihua, speak up. Where is my child?”
Everyone seemed to have an answer in their hearts, but no one wanted to confirm it.
“They’re at the factory…”
Li Cuihua wanted to make excuses.
But the villagers no longer trusted her. They all found things around and began throwing them at her.
“Li Cuihua, speak up! If you don’t, I’ll beat you to death!!!”
Someone picked up a chair with bloodshot eyes, as if going crazy.
Li Cuihua got scared and hid in a corner, with her mother standing in front of her.
“They’re sold!”
“I sold them all, I don’t know where they are!”
She closed her eyes and shouted.
But as soon as she said it, she regretted it. All the people, men and women, old and young, started throwing things at her. Soon, she was knocked unconscious and fell to the ground.
“Stop! Stop hitting…”
Li Cuihua’s mother knelt on the ground, begging them to spare her.
But all the people there were parents whose children had been sold. How could they feel sorry for her?
Some people even joined in the assault, cursing her with their mouths.
“Look at the good daughter you raised. If my son doesn’t come back, Li Cuihua, you won’t live either!”
“My daughter is gone, and I won’t spare any of your family!”
Some people made threats, while the more composed ones stared at the two beaten figures with a stern expression.
“Tie them up and lock them away. Until we find the children, they won’t be let out for a day.”
Upon hearing that they would be locked away, Li Cuihua refused. She still had a hundred yuan that she hadn’t spent yet!
She grabbed her mother and screamed: “No, I disagree…”
“I… I’ll give you their address, just don’t lock me up…”
Seeing everyone’s dark expressions, she revealed the address.
“There’s an old house in the Triangle District. I took the children there, but I don’t know what happened after that…”
“I was also deceived. I didn’t plan to sell the children…”
“Lock them up.”
No one wanted to hear Li Cuihua’s words. Now that they had a lead, finding the children as soon as possible was more important.
As soon as Li Cuihua mentioned where He Wen had been taken, Fu Yuling quickly left Li Cuihua’s house.
It wasn’t convenient to bring He Xuan and He An with her. Fu Yuling originally planned to let He Xuan take He An to He Jingsi’s brother’s house to stay first, but on the way, He An clung to her and wouldn’t let go. She had no choice but to let He Xuan go alone.
Arriving in town, Fu Yuling once again found the beggar who had previously guided her.
She threw money at him as usual, only this time she gave him three yuan.
“Do you know of beggars around here who often have children with them?”
The beggar didn’t move this time and just glanced at her before silently pushing the money back.
Fu Yuling thought he didn’t know, but saw him get up and walk in a certain direction. “Follow me!”
Fu Yuling was anxious, afraid of wasting time with unnecessary detours.
But nothing was more important than He Wen right now. She couldn’t let go of even a glimmer of hope.
He An, who was being carried, remained quiet and allowed Fu Yuling to lead him around.
Following the beggar, they slowly entered a dark alley. Fu Yuling kept a certain distance from him.
Under her gaze, he opened a door, and the sound of children playing came from inside.
Fu Yuling entered and was surprised by what she saw.
Inside, there were many children playing with toys, most of them made of wood. It seemed like they were living well here.
Awe!! Was he saving the children?!
