Chapter 1320 Someone is Seizing the Goods
In his previous life, every time Zhong Jiaxiang beat Gougou mercilessly, it was his godmother who intervened and spoke up for him. She would say he was a lucky child who brought them a son, and if they kept hitting him, they would drive away the good fortune he brought.
Although his foster parents would still continue beating him each time, his godmother’s words could always make them stop for a moment.
But this time, Zhong Jiaxiang clearly had murder in his heart. Could godmother save him?
However, after waiting for a bit, Zhong Jiaxiang’s hand did not come down. He looked up and saw that a handsome young man had grabbed Zhong Jiaxiang’s hand that was about to hit him.
"What kind of man hits a child?" The young man grabbed Zhong Jiaxiang’s hand and threw him aside.
Zhong Jiaxiang got up and shouted at the handsome young man, "Where did this wild kid come from? I’m disciplining my own child; what’s it got to do with you?"
Gougou stood there, looking at the handsome young man, feeling very puzzled: Who is this? Why is he helping me?
The handsome young man was, of course, Xiao Li.
After throwing the man aside, he reached out to pull Gougou, showing obvious disdain in his eyes: "How could my master recognize someone like you as a godson? It’s such a disgrace to my master."
When Gougou heard the young man’s words, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Were you sent by my godmother?"
As Zhong Jiaxiang, who was about to rush up, heard the conversation between the young man and Gougou, he stopped in his tracks, suspiciously glancing at Gougou, then at the handsome young man.
A bought child or wife, the most feared thing is the family coming to claim them, which is like a thief having their stolen goods identified by the owner. They can justifiably take them back. Even if it wasn’t you who stole them, the goods are stolen, and claiming them back is only right. After all, who told you to deal in stolen goods?
Of course, the person who comes to claim them must pay back the buyer’s money. You say you weren’t the one who sold them? Sorry, I only know that I spent the money, and it doesn’t matter whether you received it or not. If you want to take the people back, bring money to redeem them.
The families of those who were trafficked hardly have enough money, moreover, to prevent those they bought from being redeemed, they often exaggerate the price. Obviously bought for three hundred yuan, but saying it costs six hundred, making it impossible for people to take them back.
So, often there are those who want to take them away directly, but as soon as the buyer shouts, the whole village people would come out to block them, not letting them take the people away.
Even if they call the Public Security, it’s useless. Legal consequences don’t scare a mob; when surrounded, the Public Security couldn’t leave either, eventually having to give up the rescue.
But if that happens, the buyer would have to spend money to treat those who helped. Therefore, no matter what, families who bought wives or children are unwilling to face such ’family members’.
At this moment, Zhong Jiaxiang shared this mentality, truly never expecting the boy’s godmother to actually come.
However, he immediately stood up straight again. So what if the family is here? This child was bought for three hundred yuan; there’s no way he’d allow them to take him for free. When the time comes, he’d demand a large sum. Perfect timing, as he already had his biological son and didn’t want to raise this boy anymore!
Xiao Li, however, didn’t know that just a few words exchanged between him and Gougou had led Zhong Jiaxiang to think so much. He just pulled Gougou, intending to run towards Mengyu.
Just then, a woman’s scream came from behind: "Someone come, they’re taking people, someone is seizing the goods—"
The screamer was naturally Zhao Liuping.
Goods referred to the trafficked women and children.
With Liu Ping’s shout, the entire village heard it and paused. Today, those involved in trafficking women and children had just been arrested, and now there was someone seizing the goods? Should they go and catch them, or not?
