Chapter 332: Qiaoqi's Purpose
Layla would come to see her parents about every five or six days, so she didn't know until a few days later that little Kuka had been taken away. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
The scene of the three old men revolving around the children in the past was gone, and the manor suddenly became a lot more deserted.
Little Kuka's grandmother had been frowning, probably thinking of her little grandson.
Ed and Emma are also a little disappointed, but in addition to the loss, they are more happy for little Kuka, after all, the child can now be with his biological mother.
Layla, like her parents, sees the child's mother as a good thing if she wants to take the child.
This idea lasted until six days later, when she came to visit her parents again for the first time.
This time, as soon as she stepped through the gates of the manor, she saw a worrying scene.
In the cold autumn breeze, on the low steps in front of the small building of the manor, little Kuka's grandmother wiped her tears, and her back, which had been bent by years of heavy labor, looked even more rickety at this moment.
On the side, Ed and Emma sighed with her, and didn't even bother with the bean fields that were about to ripen.
"What's going on?" asked Layla, panting, running up to them. The girl who had just turned seventeen wore a delicate pink dress, and her slightly curly blonde hair was meticulously combed, which looked out of place in the manor environment that her parents had made unruly.
"Little Kuka......" Emma looked at her daughter, and halfway through speaking, she sighed again and didn't say any more.
"I'm afraid the boy won't live long......" Ed added, and then he heard little Kuka's grandmother sobbing quietly.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Layla. Compared with the three old men in front of her, Layla has been well-informed for more than a year, so although she is also anxious and panicked, she will not be like her parents, who are resigned to all bad luck, and can only sigh.
Then, she learned what had happened from her parents' somewhat lengthy descriptions.
In short: after little Kuka was taken away, his grandmother, because she missed the child, went to the leather market to find them according to the information left by the child's biological mother. However, instead of seeing her little grandson, the old man heard from the people in the market that the man, named Joki, had to beat up little Kuka every night.
When the old man saw the child's birth mother, she cried and begged her to return the little Kuka, but the cruel woman ignored the old man at first, and it was not until the old man left that she told her purpose: to get back the orange crystal.
The next day, the old man sent Orange Crystal over, and then saw the bruised little Kuka, but this time, the vicious Georgie still didn't let her take the child away. Rather, it puts forward a higher requirement.
Originally, if he wanted more money, Ed and Emma would still take it out for the sake of the child, even if they were reluctant, but the conditions proposed by Qiao Qi this time were so amazing that they didn't even have to think about it, they felt that it was impossible.
He wanted this manor.
Layla frowned slightly when she heard this, an expression that looked very similar to that of Donner when he encountered something tricky.
"I'm afraid that's what they had their eye on in the first place. She muttered.
If Georgie had been present at this time, he might have admired Layla's judgment, and it was precisely because he heard that this woman's child had been adopted by the old man Pothon who lived in this beautiful manor, that he would have used his brains against little Kuka's biological mother. Georgie had no interest in this stupid farm woman, but the estate was too attractive to him.
Qiao Qi has been in the market for more than ten years, from starting as a thief to now owning a good leather stall. But even if he worked all his life, he could not save enough money to buy such a beautiful estate in St. Petersburg.
The temptation was too great, so even if he knew the old man of Porterne in that manor, and knew a "noble-looking Miss Madtim," Georgie would not give up the opportunity.
In fact, it was precisely because he had heard about Miss Madtim that Jooch felt that this was an opportunity. He had already inquired that Miss Madtim, who had bought the manor, seemed to have money, and since she could buy the manor for two old Porterne, she would be equally generous in order to save the child.
As for whether it will provoke the other party, Qiao Qi is not very worried. He had been wandering the market for so many years, and he had already developed the ability to be beaten - there was no murder in St. Petersburg.
At this moment, standing at the foot of the steps in front of the small manor, facing the crying old woman and the sad parents, Layla only vaguely guessed the other party's purpose, as for what they thought and why they had the courage to do so, she still couldn't figure it out.
However, since the other party is here for interests, it is impossible to really kill Xiao Kuka.
"Don't worry, they're for money, and they won't really do anything to their children. Layla explained the logic again.
"That'...... Then we can't really give them such a good manor, right?" Emma hesitated.
Little Kuka's grandmother was still sobbing, and in her opinion, Emma was not wrong, even the most kind person would not give away such a large beautiful manor for the sake of other people's children.
"Hmm...... I'll go and discuss it with Sister Una, if she can't do anything, she can only ask the young master. Layla frowned.
"Young Master...... Oh no, no, how can you disturb the young master because of this kind of thing!" Emma quickly waved her hands.
"I know. Layla smiled slightly, she knew that if she really let little Kuka die and didn't tell the young master, he would be unhappy to know afterwards. Still, she decided to discuss with Una first, what to do. It is of course the best not to disturb the young master.
"Then what are you doing while you stay," Emma stood up and pushed Layla towards the manor door, "Go, go and tell Miss Una that she must have a way." ”
"And these things I brought with you......" Layla held up the small basket she was holding in her arm.
"Oh, little Kuka isn't here, we can't get used to eating these things......" Emma was telling the truth, cheese or something, she and Ed would have stomach problems when they ate it.
Layla didn't insist any longer, ran out with the basket, and when she reached the gate of the manor, she turned around and shouted, "Don't worry, it'll be fine." Then he disappeared outside the gate.
"Do you hear that?" Emma comforted little Kuka's grandmother, "With Miss Una's help, it will be fine." ”
Thinking of the noble Miss Madtim in her long scarlet dress, the old man's sobs finally softened.
