"I heard from the villagers that Su Mo and Su Bing took all the money from Su Qing and ran away."
"Those two little girls are around the sa age as Yuan Wei and Yuan Zhi, running away with money... Sister, should I help you look for them?"
Yuan Qi was also worried that Sister Su would be anxious and upset, his eyes constantly fixed on her.
After all, Su Mo and Su Bing are Sister Su’s biological sisters.
Although Yuan Qi is only an eight-year-old child, due to family circumstances, he is more mature than most children.
He has witnessed more of the dark side.
For little children like Xiao Xiao, the outside world is evidently full of dangers.
Do you know why he’d rather suffer the beatings from the man at ho without considering running away with his siblings?
Because he knows the outside world might be worse than the environnt he is in.
At least in the village, they can endure and survive.
He’s afraid of encountering experiences that make life worse than death outside.
Once, when he went to the city to look for the drunkard man, hiding in the corner, he heard a man drinking with his daddy, leeringly pointing at him and asking the man, "Is your son for sale? Five hundred bucks can get you a good woman to marry again."
Fortunately, that man stared at him for a long ti, hesitated a lot, and then refused with difficulty.
Perhaps, at that mont, there was still a faint bit of fatherly love in the man’s heart for him.
But later, after returning ho, the man imdiately regretted it, even went out looking for the man who made the offer several tis afterward.
The malice hidden in the dark corners of the world is far more than you can imagine.
Su Li gently shook her head and said indifferently, "Don’t worry about it."
After a mont’s pause, Su Li suddenly asked Yuan Qi, "Do you think I’m too cold-blooded, not even helping my own siblings?"
Yuan Qi: "You must have your reasons for doing this."
Su Li asked again, half jesting, "Aren’t you afraid I’d do the sa to you? After all, I can easily abandon my own siblings...."
Yuan Qi replied earnestly, "Then I’ll make my existence so valuable that Sister Su can’t refuse completely."
Su Li laughed heartily, "Yes, yes, I can’t refuse you completely."
"So you guys plan to spoil for your own motives, huh."
Yuan Qi laughed along too, the wooden house was filled with a warm atmosphere.
anwhile, Su Qing and Su Nian searched everywhere with people, even went to the city, but didn’t catch even the shadows of Su Mo and Su Bing.
Su Qing pounded the wall heavily, bleeding from his palm without caring.
He never expected Su Mo and Su Bing to have such courage.
"Second Brother, you’re the one safeguarding the money, you need to repay my share." Su Nian said coldly.
Su Qing almost choked in anger, looked at Su Nian with disgust, spread his hands, and said nastily, "I don’t have it."
Su Nian: "I know you don’t. I’m just reminding you to rember to pay back."
Su Qing snorted coldly, "Is tens of dollars amusing? Haven’t you kept a tally of how much I gave you last lifeti?"
"That’s your willingness, even brothers have to settle accounts clearly."
"Like you treat Big Sister, every ti she speaks, don’t you always say that it’s her choice?"
Su Qing’s finger trembled, "Fine, fine... from now on, I don’t have a brother like you."
Su Nian: "Don’t think you can avoid paying by saying that."
----------
As for Su Mo and Su Bing, where did they go?
To say, they really were unlucky to an extre.
As soon as they entered the city, they were targeted.
Two kids without adults around, walking swaggeringly in the streets, spending lavishly. Not only did they eat at a state-run restaurant, but also bought big at buns to carry with them.
This conspicuous target, isn’t it just begging people to covet them?
"Grandma, how do we get to the city’s bus station?"
After eating and drinking their fill, Su Mo found a kindly-looking old woman and asked for directions.
She wants to leave here, return to the big city where she lived for many years in her past life, where she can restore her dreams and career.
This lifeti, she will stand at the top, admired by thousands.
Su Bing has the sa idea, maybe in this lifeti she can establish herself as a prodigious young artist.
A four-year-old capable of creating masterpieces, wouldn’t that cause a sensation?
The neatly dressed, clean and tidy old woman smiled as she glanced at Su Mo and Su Bing, her smile growing, her face cheerful like an old chrysanthemum in bloom.
"Where are your parents?" Su Mo always felt the old woman’s smile was a bit eerily radiant.
She stopped asking, murmured vaguely under her breath, "They are over there."
After saying this, she quickly pulled Su Bing along and left, warily glancing behind.
Old woman: "Hey, how do you just leave without hearing the directions..."
Jogging quite a distance, seeing the old woman just stood perplexedly in place and didn’t follow, Su Mo finally breathed a sigh of relief, muttering about her scare.
Su Bing also complained a little, "You’re thinking too much..."
Su Mo firmly refused to admit her mistake, sternly scolding her sister, "Being careful has no downside."
"Just the two of us girls wandering around, surely it will attract attention from so people."
Su Mo slowly realized, pondering over the previous scene, "Next ti we’ll pretend our parents sent us to inquire...."
This ti, Su Mo and them kept in mind, aiming to find soone with kids to ask directions.
Yet, before they could act again, two middle-aged folks wearing coarse black clothes suddenly erged out of nowhere, each seized Su Mo and Su Bing tightly in their embrace.
"You two wretched girls, all your parents did was scold you a little, yet you threw a tantrum, took your sister and ran away, making it hard for us to find you."
Su Mo and Su Bing were confused by this, but quickly realized and started struggling fiercely.
Su Mo punched and hit, "Let go of , I’m not your daughter, my parents are long dead."
Seeing a commotion, nearby people gathered quickly, imdiately criticizing Su Mo.
"This little girl, how can she curse her own parents like that."
"If my daughter acted like this girl, I’d definitely beat her to a pulp."
.....
Su Mo and Su Bing both had red eyes, hearts pounding.
They had encountered traffickers.
Unfortunately, being small and weak, the more they struggled, the tighter the grip beca.
"Sorry for the spectacle, the kids are still young and foolish... Co on, you two should go ho with mom and dad, we promise not to scold you again."
People remarked how this couple spoils their kids endlessly.
