Chapter 140 Something Happened at Home?
After Zhuang Qingxiang was taken away, she never returned, which greatly worried the people at the factory who were helping to take care of the children.
There are three children, two of whom are still breastfeeding. How are we supposed to take care of them? These days, nobody can buy baby formula.
The two babies who were drinking milk were crying so hard that the caregivers couldn't stand it and kept refusing to help.
In the end, Sun Yongxian took on the job and took care of the three children alone.
Little Qian Yue didn't know what had happened. She only knew that Uncle Lu was gone and her mother was missing. She wanted to cry but didn't dare to, and looked at Sun Yongxian with pleading eyes: "Teacher Sun, where did my mother go? Did she abandon Yueyue and her little brother?"
Sun Yongxian was also confused about what was going on, so she could only comfort Xiao Qianyue, saying, "Your mother is busy and hasn't had time to take care of you these past few days, so she asked me to look after you. What's wrong? Doesn't Yueyue like Teacher Sun taking care of you?"
Xiao Qianyue shook her head: "I like Teacher Sun, but..."
She misses her mother, she misses her so much.
Since her mother came to live with them, she has never been separated from her for a single day, but they have been separated for three days now.
The two younger brothers have run out of formula, there's no more formula at home, and their mother isn't home. Now the two younger brothers have to start eating porridge and rice with them...
With her mother gone, she had to be strong. Her mother had told her that she had to take good care of her two younger brothers when she wasn't home.
Only when her two younger brothers were asleep at night would Xiao Qianyue curl up to one side and secretly sob.
The little girl thought she had hidden it well, but how could she fool the adults?
Sun Yongxian wiped away her tears in the outer room and then angrily punched Shi Peiran a few times.
Shi Peiran: "..." No, he didn't cause this, why hit him?
"Peiran, what exactly happened? Who took Sister Zhuang away? What do they want?" Sun Yongxian asked in a low voice. "How can they just detain someone like this without any clear explanation?"
Shi Peiran shook his head slightly. He had gone to several places to ask over the past two days, but no one knew what was going on. No one had asked Zhuang Qingxiang for questions. All he could say was that the person who approached Zhuang Qingxiang was from out of town.
"No news from Niu Jianzhong either?" Sun Yongxian asked.
"No, the county public security bureau was also puzzled when they heard that, and they said that if Sister Zhuang doesn't come back, they can help look for her."
Sun Yongxian was so angry she nearly vomited blood: "What on earth is going on?! Everyone's in a panic! And where's Factory Director Lu? With something this serious happening, why isn't he back yet?"
"Niu Jianzhong said that Director Lu has important matters to attend to and is afraid he won't be back for a while," Shi Peiran sighed.
"Bah! What important matter? It's just a transfer! Yes, Director Lu is promising, with a bright future ahead of him. He's going to be transferred to the capital. How could he possibly remember this poor, remote place and... people!"
Sun Yongxian grew angrier as she spoke, "If this continues, we don't even know if Sister Zhuang is alive or dead. What will happen to these three children?"
"Keep your voice down," Shi Peiran reminded him.
Sun Yongxian quickly shut her mouth. She had been so excited that she forgot to control her volume and didn't know if the child inside had heard her.
She quickly went inside to check on her and saw that Xiao Qianyue was still the same as before. She sighed, went over and patted her head: "Qianyue, be good, go to sleep. Don't think too much. Your mother will definitely be alright."
Sun Yongxian thought that Xiao Qianyue was young and easy to coax, so she didn't take it seriously.
But Xiao Qianyue remembered what she had overheard Sun Yongxian saying.
Teacher Sun said that her mother was missing, and they didn't know if she was dead or alive. She also said that Uncle Lu had abandoned them...
But Uncle Lu is not that kind of person.
The next day, while Sun Yongxian wasn't paying attention, Xiao Qianyue ran out in a flash.
She ran to the security office and said she was looking for Uncle Niu. When the security guards brought Niu Jianzhong over, she rushed over and hugged his trouser leg: "Uncle Niu, I need to find Uncle Lu, can you help me find him?"
Niu Jianzhong frowned, picked up the little girl, and coaxed her, "Your Uncle Lu is busy with important matters and cannot be disturbed."
"My mother's matter is more important," Xiao Qianyue said earnestly. "I have to tell Uncle Lu. If Uncle Lu finds out, he'll praise Yueyue for being right!"
Niu Jianzhong shook his head, wanting to persuade her further, but the little girl started crying and wailing at the top of her lungs.
Niu Jianzhong couldn't coax her, and his temper tantrums and attempts to scare her didn't work either. In the end, everyone in the security department couldn't stand the ear-piercing wailing and left.
Some people were peeking around to see what was going on; those who didn't know the situation might have thought Niu Jianzhong was abusing a child.
Having no other choice, Niu Jianzhong had to promise the little girl that as long as she didn't cry, he would take her to find someone.
Saying they're looking for someone means they're just making phone calls.
"Yueyue, Uncle Niu has told you that calling him might not be able to reach your Uncle Lu, but you can't cry anymore."
Xiao Qianyue nodded vigorously, her sobs rising and falling as she cried so hard.
Niu Jianzhong sighed and took the little girl to his office to make a phone call.
He couldn't guarantee he could find Lu Congyue, because he had called Beijing in the past two days but hadn't been able to reach him.
Surprisingly, this time when I called, I actually found the person.
When Lu Congyue's voice came through the receiver, Xiao Qianyue was startled.
How could I hear Uncle Lu's voice when I couldn't see anyone?
"Uncle Lu?" Little Qian Yue's voice was hoarse from crying, and she was very sleepy before she finally managed to call out.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Congyue frowned: "Yueyue?"
Hearing that familiar voice, little Qian Yue burst into tears again, gasping for breath as she pleaded for help: "Uncle Lu... Waaah... Save my mother, save my mother... Waaah..."
The child was crying so hard that she couldn't speak clearly. Lu Congyue couldn't understand her and frowned deeply: "Yueyue, be good, don't cry. Let your Uncle Niu answer the phone."
Answer the phone?
Little Qianyue was a little confused, but she understood that she should find Uncle Niu.
"Uncle Niu, Uncle Lu is looking for you."
Niu Jianzhong was already impatient and quickly held the phone to his ear: "Director Lu, how's it going on your end?"
"Things went relatively smoothly," Lu Congyue said in a deep voice. "Why is Yueyue crying so hard? What happened at home?"
Niu Jianzhong quickly recounted how someone had taken Zhuang Qingxiang away.
Lu Congyue clenched his fist tightly: "Who took her away?"
Niu Jianzhong actually found out: "They were two people from Beijing, but I don't know exactly who they were. I asked my colleagues in the Public Security Bureau to investigate, and they came back and told me to leave it at that."
Knowing that Zhuang Qingxiang had been taken away for three days, Lu Congyue became extremely anxious.
"I'll buy a ticket and go back right away. Please help look after the three kids." He made the decision immediately.
"You're back already? Have you finished your business over there?" Niu Jianzhong asked.
Lu Congyue's face darkened: "We have to go back even if we can't finish!"
After hanging up the phone, Niu Jianzhong picked up the little girl and left, saying, "Alright, your Uncle Lu will be back soon, don't worry."
"Really?" Xiao Qianyue asked, sobbing.
"If your Uncle Lu said it himself, how could it be false?" Niu Jianzhong rubbed the little girl's head. "Now Uncle Niu will take you home. You stay home and wait for your Uncle Lu to come home."
