Chapter 45: I Believed It
At night, Wei Jin rarely suffered from insomnia.
Probably because she drank an extra cup of tea before nightfall, she couldn't sleep and planned to get up and go to the toilet.
As soon as I walked around the corner, I heard a very muffled sob. Stopping to listen closely, I was sure it was coming from Xiaoya's room.
In the dead of night, even though Xiaoya tried to suppress it, there was still a voice coming out.
Wei Jin stood there and thought for a while, not in a hurry to ask Xiaoya, she needed to think carefully about how to make Xiaoya trust her to tell her the truth.
It is estimated that he did not sleep well for several days in a row, and Xiaoya almost had an accident the next day.
"What's wrong with you?" Sitting on the edge of Xiaoya's bed, Wei Jin touched his injured shoulder, "You can tell me anything." ”
Seeing that Xiaoya lowered her head and remained silent, she thought for a moment and reached out to lift Xiaoya's face.
"If you don't want to say, then I'll guess, and if you guess, you can nod your head?"
After a moment's hesitation, Little Tooth nodded.
"You have been restless these days, do you not want to go with me to the state city to see your relatives?"
Littletooth nodded, then shook his head again.
Looking at Xiao Ya's awkward attitude, Wei Jin didn't rush to speak. If it is true as Xiaoya said, he was abducted by human traffickers, then he will definitely be in a hurry to find his relatives. But the current situation is that Xiaoya is happy to work in her house, and there is no intention of going back. And it's been so long, if Xiaoya's family really wants to find him and go to the state city to register early, even if a few years have passed, they won't wait until today to get the news, it's been half a year!
Thinking about the most bloody possibility, Wei Jin considered his mouth.
"Is Xiaoya's mother still there?"
Little Tooth shook his head and shook his head.
Well, she thought she might have guessed something.
"That little tooth was abducted after his mother died?"
Xiaoya nodded directly and glanced at Wei Jin timidly.
Wei Jin's face was a little dark, and his eyebrows frowned unconsciously.
"Xiaoya's father remarried? Does your stepmother have a child of her own? ”
There was no doubt that Xiao Ya nodded, and Wei Jin's fingers began to tighten, and he was even a little inexplicably angry.
"Xiaoya is worried that they will have to come to recognize you and bully you when they turn around?"
Xiaoya bowed his head and didn't speak, and his whole person exuded an air of sadness and despair.
"Xiaoya said before that she wanted to go and see it, because there are still people in Xiaoya's mother's family, right?"
Xiaoya looked up at her cautiously and nodded invisibly. Wei Jin stood up suddenly, controlling the anger that he could barely suppress.
Being abducted by a kidnapper is not the same as being sold by a loved one. The former is a harm to the family, and the latter is a harm inflicted on the children by relatives.
How can there be such hateful people in this world? The Wei family's parents were able to adopt her who was not related by blood, regarded her as their own daughter, and did not dislike her stupidity at all, and the sisters and sisters of the family also took good care of her, in comparison, Xiaoya's experience was more sympathetic and angry.
"Okay, I see. In this case, I will ask someone to ask if the person who came to me is from your uncle's family or your father. If it's the latter, let's just not go and say that they are wrong, and if it's the former, I think you can still go and meet and talk about it. When the time comes, it's up to you to discuss what to do, whether to stay at my house or go back with your uncle, and don't leave yourself with regrets. ”
Little Tooth stared at her with wide eyes, and after a moment, showed a shy smile, and then nodded.
Wei Jin said that he would do it, and when he turned around, he found someone to help him bring a letter to the people of Zhangcun in the state city, asking him to help inquire about the situation.
It's hard to talk about it, but what she is looking for is also very reliable and tight-mouthed. When the other party heard Wei Jin say this, he was also so angry that he patted his chest and said that this matter was on him.
After another three or five days, news came from the state city, saying that it had been confirmed, and the other party was not Xiaoya's relative, but he knew Xiaoya's uncle, and made an appointment to pass a word to Xiaoya's uncle after he went back, and then he would talk about the meeting.
The messenger happened to be a salesperson from Zhangcun's workshop who had returned for vacation. As soon as the other party went home, he put down his things and went directly to Wei Jin.
"I heard from the man that several children in their village were abducted that year, and most of them didn't think about finding the children back. Xiaoya's uncle was the only one in his family, and after he disappeared, his father left the village with his stepmother and the child born later. They are still wondering how they can have the money to move, but now that they think about it, maybe it is really the money from selling their children. ”
Xiao Ya's eyes were stunned when he heard this.
He even wondered if he had really taken the identity of such a poor child!
The man said that the child's uncle had been looking for him, but his uncle was just a wanderer, powerless, and all the money he earned was spent on the travel expenses. He went back to talk to the child's uncle and see when the other party came over. ”
After listening to the words of the villagers, the women in the room all cast a loving look at Little Tooth. The eldest sister-in-law, in particular, saw that Xiao Ya's hand was injured and it was inconvenient to eat, so she specially made him noodles and fish that could be scooped and eaten with a spoon.
"In that case, let's wait for Uncle Xiaoya to come back. You have to take care of yourself before this, no matter how difficult it is, there is always a relative who is thinking about you, just for him, you have to take care of it, understand? ”
Xiaoya came back to his senses, Xiaoya nodded, Xiaoya didn't know what to say, and even had a great curiosity about this "uncle", wanting to know if the other party could recognize him after they really met.
Just when everyone was anxiously waiting for the news of Uncle Xiaoya, Wei Gongzi finally took the little servant Shuwen to Xizhen by boat.
Xizhen has changed a lot this year, first of all, it is more popular, and there is also the former abandoned wharf, because the Zhangcun workshop has to transport goods, and it has also been reopened.
In addition to the Zhangcun workshop, there were other caravans that also chose water transportation, so not only the old wharf was popular, but also the new wharf on the other side was also prosperous.
The more caravans come and go, which means that the popularity is high, the taxes that can be collected are high, and there are even people who have moved away before who have managed to move back.
The street where the Wei family is located is now doing a booming business, there is everything to eat, and even under the eaves of the aisle between the two houses, there are old people carrying baskets to sell things.
The biggest pleasure of the mayor every day is to walk around the town in the morning and evening, seeing this scene, he eats fragrantly, his body is great, and there is a big fat grandson!
The day Wei Gongzi arrived, it happened to be the day when the mayor of the town put a full moon wine for his little grandson. Set up a flowing water seat, anyone can take a seat, and if it is given to He Yi, it can also occupy a place at the banquet at the mayor's house.
Wei Jin didn't go, her second brother-in-law took her second sister and went. gave a lot of He Yi, and stained the light of Zhangcun's workshop, and sat at the most important tables.
The head of Zhangcun Village and Li Zheng also came, their old faces were red and radiant, and their previous rickety backs were also straight, and when they heard the compliments of others, their eyes smiled into a slit.
"Childe, do we really want to go in?" Shu Wen pinched his purse and was a little unhappy.
What kind of character is his son-in-law, but he is just the grandson of the old man in the township, and his son-in-law personally congratulates him?
