Chapter 161

Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe were worried about returning too late today, so they had already informed Xiao Zhang early in the day to come over and watch the children for them.

When they returned, Xiao Zhang was peeling sunflower seeds for the two kids.

"Mommy!" Mingming and Yueyue both rushed into Bai Xiuxiu's arms as soon as they saw her.

Bai Xiuxiu hugged the two children and gently kissed them. "Mingming and Yueyue, you've been good."

Seeing them, Xiao Zhang was also very excited. "Brother Wang, Sister-in-law, are you alright? You're finally back. These two kids were insisting on waiting up to see you before going to bed. I had a hard time calming them down. If you hadn't returned soon, I wouldn't have known what to do. By the way, how did things go?"

Xiao Zhang helped close the door for them with concern.

Inside the house, the stove had already been lit. Wang Qinghe took the two children over and started comforting them while chatting with Xiao Zhang.

"Everything went smoothly, but only the old lady went in. The Wang family is too shrewd; it would be impossible to get the old man in there too."

Wang Qinghe didn't feel any regret about this. Wang Shoucheng still had his uses outside.

Hearing that everything went well, Xiao Zhang felt relieved. "That's great. Brother Wang, about the matter we discussed earlier?"

"It remains unchanged," Wang Qinghe said firmly.

Xiao Zhang was also pleased. Brother Wang had asked him to find out who the trafficker's supplier was, and after a few days of investigation, he discovered it was his brother's arch-nemesis.

If Brother Wang could make them behave, it would be fantastic.

This trip would be highly profitable for him.

"I'll head back now. Brother Wang, don't hesitate to give me any instructions regarding this matter." With that, Xiao Zhang started to leave.

Unexpectedly, he ran into Yu Cheng just as he opened his mouth.

"Brother Yu?" Xiao Zhang looked puzzled.

Yu Cheng smiled. "No worries, I just came by to say hello. We're leaving for the provincial city today."

"What about me?" Xiao Zhang stood awkwardly, unsure if leaving immediately would be impolite.

But staying might disrupt their conversation.

"Don't worry about me. I'll head straight to the station later," Yu Cheng said as he entered the house.

Inside, Bai Xiuxiu was resting and drinking sugar water. Wang Qinghe had brought the two children in and was preparing dinner.

When Yu Cheng entered, Wang Qinghe stopped what he was doing.

"Qinghe, Sister-in-law, I'm leaving today. Next time I come will probably be next month. As for next month..."

Yu Cheng wasn't sure how much goods they would have.

"Just come next month. Our business can only involve you and us. If a third person finds out, it ends here."

Wang Qinghe warned Yu Cheng, who seemed easily deceived.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid to harm myself. By the way, here's my address. If you need to contact me, just mention my name."

Yu Cheng left his address, feeling a strange sense of familiarity when looking into Wang Qinghe's eyes.

"You... never mind, I'm fine." Yu Cheng decided not to say anything more, thinking he would inquire further later.

"I'll walk you out." Wang Qinghe offered to accompany him.

"No need, just carry on with your work. Next time I come, I'll bring something nice for you." Yu Cheng was in a good mood.

After bidding farewell, he got on the borrowed bicycle.

At the station, someone was already waiting for him.

The man waiting was around the same age as Yu Cheng, wearing a coat similar to his own. Several people were there to see him off, but the man's expression was far from pleasant.

Seeing Yu Cheng, the man scrutinized him critically. "Where have you been? The train is about to leave. And you've made new friends in just a few days?

No wonder your family says you can't compare to my cousin. You're too..."

Yu Cheng chuckled. "It's nothing serious. I just met someone I clicked with. Besides, who in the compound can match him?

Too bad he's not your aunt's child."

"You brat, always finding ways to annoy me," the man grumbled.

Yu Cheng boarded the train with him, curious. "How did it go? Did you find the child your aunt wanted you to look for?"

"Don't even mention it; it’s just bad luck. I’ve been looking, but there’s no news at all. You know, in this vast sea of people, trying to find a child who was lost over twenty years ago, with hardly any clues, is nearly impossible.

It feels like I’m just spinning my wheels.

I can’t find anything!

I’m also worried about how I’ll explain this to my aunt when I go back."

The man complained to Yu Cheng, feeling frustrated.

"Brother Qi, you can’t be blamed for this. Your aunt didn’t look for the child for over twenty years, and now she suddenly wants to find them. Isn’t that putting you in a difficult position?"

Yu Cheng agreed, hoping to learn more gossip from this conversation.

"Who said it wasn’t? The other kids turned out to be useless, so now they remember there’s another one out there. It’s my aunt’s misfortune.

None of those kids amounted to anything.

She’s grasping at straws now. Even if she had raised them properly, they still wouldn’t have turned out well. How could an outsider be any better?

For all we know, the child might already be dead."

The man surnamed Qi frowned deeply.

He was even more worried, having made several trips out recently despite having a job.

Unlike Yu Cheng, who spends his days loafing around after eating!

If he doesn’t do his job properly, he won’t think about the bad reputation he’ll bring to his family.

"Brother Yu, do you think if we found the child, the family would treat him well?" Yu Cheng asked, concerned.

If they would, then he thought Wang Qinghe should give it a try. What if it was him?

"Maybe, but only if the child turns out to be successful. My aunt...” The man surnamed Qi shook his head.

The news of Zhao Guifen’s arrest spread quickly through Xiahe Village via the early morning broadcast.

Early in the morning, Wang Qinghe had sent his wife and two children to the village committee before heading to work.

At the village committee.

When Miao Miao and Liu Xiaohui arrived, they learned about the significant event that had occurred in the village.

They were all shocked.

After recounting yesterday’s events, Chen Jinhua brought up another matter: "Yesterday, Xiuxiu caught the traffickers. It turns out they were habitual offenders! A lot has been uncovered.

I’m going to the commune later to talk to Director Wang about this. This achievement must be recognized."

"Is anyone here?" Outside, Xiao Hong knocked on the Women's Federation door, her face filled with excitement.

Chen Jinhua opened the door, and Xiao Hong burst into tears, hugging her tightly.

The man beside her also had tears in his eyes.

Chen Jinhua was taken aback by the sudden crying: "Xiao Hong? Did your mother-in-law come to cause trouble again? But yesterday, Xiuxiu and I talked things out, didn’t we?"

"No! She agreed. She promised to let me remarry and take my son with me. Aunt, Xiuxiu, I really don’t know how to thank you."
