“Just as I carried you out of the Wei family’s main gate, I bumped into Sun Erhei and his wife nearby. Sun Erhei saw that I was carrying a child and asked me where I was going. I told him the truth and even asked him if he wanted to adopt. He told me that he had just returned from the doctor with his wife and that his wife was pregnant and there was no need to adopt a child.
“Then I met Zhang San at the entrance of the alley. I also saw Tian Si, who lived in the alley.
“When I dropped you off on the road, 1 also met Cheng Laowu who was going to Pingan Town to do some business. Cheng Laowu was the shopkeeper at the East Arrival Bank. Cheng Laowu even got off the carriage to see you.
“He praised you tor your good looks and good swaddling clotnes. He said tnat you must have been abandoned by some rich family and even scolded them for being heartless.
“When Cheng Laowu left, I squatted not far away, afraid that no one would be willing to pick you up. It was not until noon that I met some people who surrounded you. They seemed to want to pick you up but couldn’t bear to leave you there.
“As expected, one of them was quite tall. He looked like a farmer in his thirties or forties. He adopted you and said that he wanted to bring you back to raise you. When I saw that you were taken away by that person, I turned around and prepared to go back.
“But after a few steps, Cheng Laowu had already returned from Pingan Town and called out to me. Cheng Laowu also saw that you were adopted by that person. He also told me that that person looked very honest and told me not to worry. He told me that he would definitely treat you well.
“At that time, Cheng Laowu wasn’t the one driving the carriage. There were two other workers following him, and one of them was the coachman. They all saw it.”
At this point, Lai Cai sighed.
“It’s also because my conscience has been uneasy because of this matter all these years. Sometimes, I even dream about it. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have remembered it so clearly.”
“Thank you for telling me everything,” Xue Yan cupped his hands again. “When the time comes, you’ll need to answer everything truthfully.”
“Alright.” Naturally, Laicai agreed.
Xue Yan and Jiang Yue were starting to piece the puzzles together. They also remembered what Laicai said just now, as well as the people he mentioned. They will verify it again tomorrow.
He couldn’t make any mistakes and had to check every step carefully.
It wasn’t that they didn’t trust him, but this was to prevent other loopholes from occurring.
“Then I’ll have to trouble you to pack up and leave with us.” Xue Yan cupped his hands again, extremely polite.
“Alright, I’ll do it.” Laicai and Xiuhua started to pack up. Actually, they didn’t have much, so they packed up in a short while.
It was just that Laicai wanted to inform the village chief of Zhu Village. She was afraid that if they were not in the village, the village chief and the villagers would look for them and think that something had happened to them.
“We definitely have to tell them. We can’t let anyone worry, but you will have to lie. Don’t tell them what you’re going to do.” Pausing for a moment, Xue Yan hurriedly said again, “You all can rest assured, we’re not bad people.”
Laicai and Xiuhua immediately laughed. “We’re all people who have one foot in the coffin. We’re not afraid of anything. Alright, we’ll do as you say.”
“Thank you,” Xue Yan thanked again.
The two of them had thought it through. When this matter was resolved, they would give the old couple a better place to stay and give them a better life.
This village was really too poor for them to live in.
Laicai lied to the Zhu Village Chief, saying that he was going to bring the old woman to live with someone he knew for a while, He said that the person was good and knew that they were there. He wanted to pick them up for the New Year, so he specially asked someone to pick them up. Then, he got into the carriage parked at the village entrance with Jiang Yue and Xue Yan..
