“Wang Yongmei, where is Su Xiaoya? Where did you sell Su Xiao Ya to?” Su Wen pointed a rolling pin at Wang Yongmei with an imposing manner. “Come out, don’t hide at home.”
“I’m not going out.” Wang Yongmei stuck her head out of the window, her eyes sparkling. “Why would I do as you say? Who do you think you are?”
“Come out!” Su Wen tried her best to control her temper and not let herself rush in to fight. “Come out and talk to me. Where did you sell Su Xiao Ya to?”
Some of the surrounding villagers knew that Su Xiao Ya had been given away, some did not know at all.
The people who knew about it were not from Su Xiao Ya’s family. They had no right to interfere and did not want to meddle in other people’s business. Therefore, they pretended not to know.
Now that Su Wen had exposed the matter, everyone started discussing it, regardless of whether they knew or not.
The women’s department director who heard the commotion had just arrived. When she heard this, she was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat. The Clear Water County had just arrested Shi Caiyue and the Tian brothers for child trafficking. It was the most critical time.
If Wang Yongmei dared to cause trouble at this time, the village officials would also be criticized.
“Su Wen, is what you said true?” The director grabbed Su Wen and asked nervously.
“That’s right. I just went to the Province and Su Xiao Ya disappeared. My second and third sisters didn’t see Su Xiao Ya for a while, so they came to look for her but they couldn’t find her.” Su Wen really liked Su Xiaoya. Otherwise, she would not have her staying at her house all day.
She was also very generous to Su Xiaoya.
If it were not for Su Xiao Ya’s parents, she would have wanted to keep Xiao Ya and take care ot her like a younger sister. Now that the child was gone, Little sister would be heartbroken if she knew!
When Little sister left, she didn’t forget to bring a gift for Su Xiao Ya. When she came back from Zhou Hengguang’s house, she brought a lot of delicious food and some toys. She asked Su Wen to give them to Xiaoya when she came back.
In the end, Xiao Ya had already been sent away!
Su Wen’s heart ached just thinking about it.
She could not imagine what kind of damage this would bring to Little sister. Xiaohua had been sold by her sister-in-law before she transmigrated. She had never met Xiaohua before. However, she heard Little sister mention it many times. Every time Little sister mentioned Xiaohua, she would be very sad.
Little sister was a sensitive and loyal girl. Xiaohua’s encounter was already a big blow to her.
“Is Xiaoya gone?”
“That’s right. She must have been sold by Wang Yongmei. Otherwise, why couldn’t we find her?” Su Wen was so angry that her eyes turned red, her nose turned sour, and her heart was filled with anxiety.
Su Qing and Su Xiu were blaming themselves.
“Sorry, Big sister. We’re too useless.”
If they had been bolder and raised this issue earlier, perhaps Su Xiaoya would have been found.
“Don’t worry, Big Sister. She might be fine!” Su Xiu said softly, afraid that others would hear her. “Maybe Xiaoya was given to someone else! Maybe we can find out if we ask around.’
When Su Xiu and Su Qing heard the news, they didn’t react much because they thought it was normal to give a child away to someone else.
This kind of situation was really common in the countryside.
If their families were poor and could not afford to raise children, or if they had too many daughters, they would give them away. There were also bachelors who were too old to marry a wife or people who couldn’t give birth, these people would adopt a child.
There were simply too many of them, and the society was already used to it..
