Chapter 714: Vicious Man
But the next second, she pretended not to see me, crying to the onlookers, and using the children to gain sympathy, as if these people had become her protective shield, and I couldn't do anything with them.
I shook my head, sighed lightly, and pulled Jiang Yifeng out of the crowd, after all, there are so many people now, and it is useless to talk too much, they will all think that we are deliberately bullying the old woman.
"Tell me if these people are stupid, obviously she is a liar, and there are so many people who defend her and believe her, it's really angry with me." Jiang Yifeng said angrily.
"There's no way around it, some people are good at disguising, even if you're doing it for the good of others, people don't appreciate it." I persuaded Jiang Yifeng.
Sometimes it's like this, it's clear that you are kind enough to help others, but others don't appreciate it at all, and think that you are a bad person, and you will do it for some purpose, this is the reality.
"So what do we do now?" Jiang Yifeng asked me.
I shook my head, "It's getting dark now, I guess she's going to leave here and go back, let's wait here first, and then follow her back, and we'll be able to find her address." As for the question you said. ”
What worries now is not that the old woman is using the child to deceive others into sympathy, but that she can find their address first, so that Li Shufen can see her child and leave here.
Jiang Yifeng and I stood on the side of the road, watching the old woman repeat the tragic experience of the family to the onlookers, knowing that my ears were about to come out of the calloon, only then did I see the old woman trembling and straightening up, put away the money in the box, and finally left with the child in her arms.
I glanced at Jiang Yifeng, Jiang Yifeng nodded, and we slowly followed behind the old woman, and the old woman at this time didn't know if she felt our presence, or because she was afraid that others would find something, she kept looking behind her and found that no one was following her, so she was relieved.
We followed the old woman to a courtyard, which was a detached courtyard, which was not very large from the outside, but it was very quiet, because there were not many people to see along the way.
"Dangdangdang." The old woman banged the iron door.
After a while, I heard a rush of footsteps from far to near, and at last I saw the iron door opened, and a man poked his head out of it, and when he saw that it was an old woman, he immediately laughed.
"Mother, I came back early today." I saw the man say to the old woman.
"Hey, don't mention it, let me in, my waist is going to break, this baby has been making trouble from morning till night, I can't wait to throw her to death now." The old woman said to the man.
The man nodded, opened the iron door, welcomed the old woman in, and finally looked outside, and saw that there was no one, so he closed the iron door.
"What should we do, we can't get in." Jiang Yifeng asked me.
This door is closed, we can't get in at all, plus Jiang Yifeng also had a conflict with the old woman, even if he wants to knock on the door to enter, maybe he will be blasted out.
"Let's wait." I said to Jiang Yifeng. Now that you're here, there's always a way.
In the room on the other side, Li Shufen's husband, Zhang Qiang, was counting the money that the old woman got back today, smiling while counting, his eyes were full of greed.
At this moment, I heard only the cry of a baby coming from the neighbor's house, and the voice was hoarse, but there was no one to take care of her.
"Crying, crying, crying, I know crying all day long, my ears are about to come out of calluses, if it weren't for the fact that you still have use value, I would have sold you a long time ago." The old woman drank the water and cursed angrily, as if the child had nothing to do with him.
"Mother, don't say that, this baby is also a great hero, if it weren't for the child, who would believe us, you see, today we earned two thousand, this is my monthly salary." Zhang Qiang said to the old woman with a smile.
I saw the old woman snort lightly, "Hmph, the hospital doesn't give money, and I can't help it, your wife died early, so she left such two burdens, and when the money is almost over, you will sell this baby, and you can get an extra amount of money at that time, and the big one will also be sold, and then marry another one and give birth to a big fat boy for your mother." ”
"Well, it's all up to my mother." Zhang Qiang nodded and said with a smile.
"That's right, mother, you're hungry too, let's go down to the restaurant, I saw a restaurant when I was begging for money on the road today, the dishes in it are fragrant, we have a good meal today." Zhang Qiang said to the old woman.
The old woman touched her stomach and nodded, "I've been pretending to be pitiful for the past few days, and I haven't eaten anything good, so I'll open the meat today." ”
After speaking, he picked up his coat and put it on, and prepared to go out, but he didn't want the cry of the child in the house to get worse and worse, and it was already accompanied by a cough, and it seemed that the old woman was also a little unbearable, or she was afraid that the child would have something to do, and she would have no tools to make money in the future, so she shouted outside the door.
"Xiu'er, what are you doing this damn girl, why don't you come in quickly."
After a while, I saw a little girl dressed in a sloppy dress and a sallow face walked in, the girl seemed to be only six or seven years old, and looked at the old woman in front of her with big eyes in a panic.
"Grandma, Xiu'er was just doing the laundry." Xiu'er replied in a low voice.
I saw that the old woman glanced at Xiu'er with disdain, "Look at you like this, if others see it when you go out, they will say that your father and I have treated you badly, okay, you go to see your sister, don't let her cry, if you are hungry, cook some batter for her to eat, by the way, remember to wash all the clothes, if I see that you are lazy, I will not spare you, I went out to eat with your father, if there is any vegetable soup left, I will bring it back to you." ”
"Xiu'er knows." Xiu'er nodded, with a hint of anticipation in addition to horror in her eyes.
Since her mother died, she has become a slave in the family, cooking and washing every day, as long as the old woman and Zhang Qiang have something unpleasant, they will punch and kick Xiu'er, which is already commonplace.
She often doesn't eat well, and even worse, she doesn't eat at all, but the leftover vegetable soup between the old woman and Zhang Qiang will become her food. So in the face of the old woman saying that she would bring back the soup from the restaurant, this is already a great happiness.
Jiang Yifeng and I have been guarding outside the courtyard, but there has been no movement inside, just when we wanted to sneak in, we heard the sound of the iron door being opened, the old woman and Zhang Qiang walked out, did not see the shadow of the child, and then cautiously locked the iron door.
Watching the two of them walk farther and farther, Jiang Yifeng and I slipped out of the corner.
"What are these two people going to do, kid?" Jiang Yifeng asked.
"I don't know, go in and have a look." I said.
Although the iron gate was locked, the wall next to it was not very high, and Jiang Yifeng and I easily climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
I saw that the yard was not big, there was a small well in it, and there was a pile of freshly washed clothes next to it, but it hadn't had time to dry yet, but there were some children's clothes in the clothes, so it could be seen that there were other people here.
"Wow, wow, wow."
Before we could get inside, we heard a burst of crying, not loud, very immature, and the voice of a child was heard.
At this time, I saw that the locust wood brand began to tremble, and there was a buzzing sound, I hurriedly took the locust wood brand in my hand, and silently recited the incantation in my mouth, and suddenly a burst of green smoke flew out, and the female ghost appeared in front of us.
