Chapter 1323: Xiao Li’s Persuasion
Xiao Li had no choice but to patiently tell Gougou, "Be good, Gougou. I never intended to sell you. The malicious aura I emitted just now was because I thought of Zhong Jiaxiang. When I took you away, he didn’t stop us, and now he’s following us. I suspect that he might be harboring some ill intentions!"
Gougou turned to look back, but he didn’t see anyone. However, he knew that, by Zhong Jiaxiang’s nature, he wouldn’t just allow him to escape his control so easily.
He’s following us, probably intending to find my godmother and then extort her.
However, since godmother could even produce a Treasure Bag, when he meets godmother, he’ll be the one getting a beating, so he’s not afraid of causing trouble for her.
Anyway, since he’s going to go with godmother, sooner or later godmother will confront Zhong Jiaxiang.
Even though he couldn’t see Zhong Jiaxiang, the fact that Brother Xiao Li could see him, and had malicious intents seeing Zhong Jiaxiang plotting while tailing them, seemed normal. Thus, he somewhat believed what Xiao Li said.
However, he still wanted to follow behind Xiao Li with Da Bai and Da Hei, rather than being carried by him.
But his legs were too short; due to long-term malnutrition, his body, though over four years old and nearly five, was not even as tall as a three-year-old. He could only run behind Xiao Li, and after walking for a while without reaching their destination, he asked, "Brother Xiao Li, where is my mom?"
Xiao Li slowly pointed to the highest spot in the village: "There!"
"So, Mom is at the ancestral hall." Gougou felt a bit regretful for not letting Xiao Li carry him, as his short legs made climbing so high kind of difficult.
When would this body finally grow up?
When they arrived at the ancestral hall, Mengyu had already recorded all the human traffickers and locked them inside. The front and back doors, as well as the windows of the ancestral hall, had been casually arranged with a small restriction by her.
Upon seeing his godmother, Gougou dashed over: "Godmother, I’ve missed you so much."
This cry of "godmother" left everyone inside and outside the ancestral hall taken aback: It turned out they had not only bought Mengyu once, even though she escaped, but her godson was also sold in.
No wonder, she had come for revenge.
Looking at Gougou, everyone felt uneasy; her godson was not living well with the Zhong Family.
No, not just not well, it was terrible. A child over four was stunted to the point that he didn’t even look three.
Such a fierce girl, no one knew how she would punish the Zhong Family.
Zhong Jiaxiang, who was eager to find Gougou’s godmother to extort, was stunned when he realized that the tough girl who arrived last night was Gougou’s godmother.
He knew how his family had treated Gougou. If it had been someone else, he wouldn’t have cared, but now that this girl was Gougou’s godmother, he couldn’t even think about extorting her, let alone anything else. He should be grateful if he could send Gougou away like a revered deity.
At this point, he wanted to escape, but as soon as he turned around, he found he couldn’t move.
He was shocked. Last night, he saw those human traffickers unable to move, no matter what happened to them. He had felt it was odd, wondering why they were inexplicably immobilized.
Now that he himself couldn’t move, he understood what it felt like to be unable to move.
Seeing Gougou arrive, Mengyu was very happy: "Gougou, you’re here. You got up rather early. Did you sleep well last night?"
Gougou sniffled and said, "Godmother, I slept very well last night. But when I woke up, it wasn’t so good. That woman saw the clothes you gave me and said I stole them from my brother, demanding I take them off so they could be saved for my brother when he grows up."
