Chapter 150

Chen Jinhua had originally planned to confront Old Wang's family immediately. After hearing Bai Xiuxiu's explanation, she calmed down.

She sat back down. "Xiuxiu, you're right. With their thick skin, even if I go to confront them, they won't admit anything. But, if we catch the child traffickers, will they reveal the old couple?"

"They will, Auntie, don't worry." Bai Xiuxiu already had a plan in mind.

Looking at the two children playing happily in the room, her resolve strengthened.

Taking this opportunity, she would send those two old devils away, so they wouldn't keep targeting her Mingming and Yueyue.

"Alright, I'll follow your lead. What should we do?" Chen Jinhua agreed completely.

She trusted Bai Xiuxiu deeply.

Bai Xiuxiu thought for a moment. "Starting tomorrow, we'll set up an ambush around here. I'll have my husband come pick me up at a fixed time every night, and I'll leave the team at a fixed time each day. No matter how cautious they are, once they confirm my schedule a few times, they'll definitely show up. As soon as they appear, we'll catch them in the act."

Bai Xiuxiu was determined. With everyone watching, no one could escape, and she wouldn't be in danger.

Chen Jinhua was a bit worried. "No, it's too risky for you alone. How about we switch clothes and go out every other day?"

"Auntie, if they notice, it might alert them. If those traffickers escape, many more children could suffer." Bai Xiuxiu refused; this couldn't go wrong.

Besides, Auntie Jinhua was a good person, and she couldn't let her take the risk.

"Well... why don't you discuss it with your husband?" Chen Jinhua felt that Wang Qinghe wouldn't easily agree.

They shouldn't let this affect their relationship.

Mentioning Wang Qinghe, Bai Xiuxiu fell silent.

He would probably worry again...

A short while later, Miaomiao and Liu Xiaohui returned.

Their hair was disheveled, and there were handprint marks on their faces.

It was clear something had gone wrong during their mediation.

Seeing their condition, Chen Jinhua quickly pulled them over to ask what happened. "What happened? I remember you went to the Laoji family in Shanghe Village to mediate. Did the mother-in-law still refuse to let her daughter-in-law remarry?"

Thinking of this, Miaomiao almost cried. "Not only did she refuse, but when we arrived, the daughter-in-law was being tortured by her mother-in-law and was skin and bones. She threatened us, saying that even if her daughter-in-law died, she wouldn't let her remarry. She told us to give up. If her daughter-in-law remarried, she'd jump into the river with her grandson. Isn't this ridiculous?

She has four sons, but she despises the third son, who worked himself to death at a young age. Now she's torturing her daughter-in-law and little grandson. The child is seven years old but looks weaker than Mingming. It breaks my heart. Xiaohui and I tried to persuade them, but the old lady and her eldest daughter-in-law attacked us and chased us out."

Miaomiao's eyes were red as she sat down, still angry, and started fixing her hair.

Liu Xiaohui nodded in agreement with every word Miaomiao said.

After Miaomiao sat down, she added angrily, "If we wait any longer, that old lady will drive her daughter-in-law and grandson to their deaths."

Hearing their story, Chen Jinhua was anxious.

"This can't go on. This isn't the old days where people can bully others like this. We need to go together today and make the old lady explain herself." Zhao Guifen was furious and wanted to go immediately.

"Auntie Jinhua, if we all go, won't we just get beaten up? I think we should ask the team leader tomorrow if he can find more people to go with us. They won't listen to us alone."

Liu Xiaohui quickly held Chen Jinhua back.

She knew that family well.

Although Chen Jinhua was anxious, she agreed. "Xiaohui, when you go home tonight, take someone from your family to check on them. Tell the old lady that if her daughter-in-law dies, we'll report it to the authorities. To prevent her from doing something rash tonight, okay?"

"Sure, I'll have my husband accompany me. Don't worry about it," Liu Xiaohui agreed.

"Right, after we handle this tomorrow, why don't you and Miaomiao take a couple of days off? Xiuxiu has been resting due to family matters, but we can't neglect you two either. You haven't had a break since the harvest ended."

Chen Jinhua thought it best not to involve them in the plan, fearing they might slip up or become scared.

Giving them a break would also keep them safe.

"A break?" Both were delighted.

Originally, Bai Xiuxiu had been on leave for the past few days, which left them both feeling a bit uneasy, after all, everyone was supposed to share the workload equally.

With Bai Xiuxiu on leave, they had to take on more work.

Now that the workload was balanced again, their discomfort immediately vanished.

"Yes, I'll give you three days off. You should go home and rest properly," Chen Jinhua reluctantly granted them time off, knowing she would have to pick up the slack.

"Jinhua Auntie, you're such a good person!"

Miaomiao was so excited she wanted to hug Chen Jinhua, and Liu Xiaohui couldn't hide her smile.

"Sister Xiuxiu is also a good person." Miaomiao began praising Bai Xiuxiu again.

As dusk approached, everyone started heading home.

Bai Xiuxiu watched outside until Wang Qinghe appeared, then she left the house.

Seeing her about to leave, Chen Jinhua reminded her, "Be careful on your way back; don't let those people catch you off guard. Shall I have Uncle Chen escort you and your husband back tomorrow?"

"No need, Qinghe will be fine." Although Bai Xiuxiu said this, she was still worried about her husband's safety. Even the most capable person could be overwhelmed by numbers.

She didn't want anything to happen to him!

She considered asking Xiao Zhang for help to pick her up first.

She wouldn't let his efforts go unrewarded.

Filled with these thoughts, Bai Xiuxiu led the two children out.

At the door, Wang Qinghe saw his wife and children coming out and smiled, "Xiuxiu, let's go home. I borrowed Xiao Zhang's bicycle."

They got on the bicycle, with Bai Xiuxiu sitting at the back and the two children in the middle, while she and Wang Qinghe protected them from falling off.

On the way back, the family of four chatted and laughed together.
