Chapter 150 Yueyue Thinks of the Zhang Family
Zhuang Qingxiang was going crazy missing her child. She expressed her desire to see Sun Yongxian, but the police refused.
She was already a suspect and couldn't meet with just anyone, let alone factory workers.
"Zhuang Qingxiang, do you understand that whoever you want to see at this time will have to undergo our investigation? Are you sure you still want to see Comrade Sun Yongxian?"
Zhuang Qingxiang's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shook her head: "They're gone, they're gone, but... could you please send someone to my house to check on my two children? I'm really worried about them."
"You still have the mind to care about your child? If you don't sort out your own problems, your child will be the one most affected!" Zhang Ning frowned. "I advise you to think it over carefully and explain things clearly as soon as possible."
"But I really don't have anything to explain!" Zhuang Qingxiang broke down. "Otherwise, tell me who identified me, and I'll confront them!"
This request was obviously not going to be accepted, and Zhuang Qingxiang was locked up again.
As she feared, in Dongya Village, Qian Dayou's family treated the two children poorly.
The first day was fine, but after learning that the two high-ranking leaders from Beijing had left on the second day, they immediately felt relieved and no longer needed to be so subservient.
Cao Xiang even went so far as to insult Xiao Qianyue in front of her, calling her and Xiao Chenglin unwanted bastards and saying they had dirtied their floor.
Not only did he curse and swear, but he also forced Xiao Qianyue to work, otherwise she wouldn't get any food.
Later, when they saw that Zhuang Qingxiang had been arrested and there was no news of her, and she was not released, they felt that she was completely finished, and her family took the opportunity to bully Xiao Qianyue.
Xiao Qianyue couldn't take it anymore. One day, while Qian Dayou's family was out, she carefully carried her younger brother on her back and headed straight for the military factory, following the route she remembered.
She was short, and with an even smaller baby on her back, she walked very slowly.
By the time she reached the factory gate, her legs were so tired she could barely stand.
Because of the incident at the factory, the factory gates have been tightly closed for the past few days to facilitate the police investigation.
Seeing that the door was closed, Xiao Qian Yue went up and knocked on it, shouting loudly, "Uncle Niu, Uncle Niu, it's me, Yueyue..."
After calling out several times, only one person came out, but it wasn't Niu Jianzhong.
Niu Jianzhong has been so busy these past few days that he doesn't have time to stay in the security department.
The person who came out recognized Xiao Qianyue, but had no intention of letting her in.
"So you're Zhuang Qingxiang's daughter? We can't let you in. What if you steal something else? Your mother is really something else; she stole important documents from our factory, and we still haven't gotten them back..."
The man rambled on and on, and Xiao Qianyue finally understood.
She burst into tears, sobbing, "You're lying! My mom would never steal anything! Waaah... My mom is a good person, please let her go... Waaah..."
The little girl cried with tears and snot streaming down her face. Behind her, Xiao Chenglin, who hadn't been eating enough these past two days, was woken up again after finally falling asleep, and started crying loudly as well.
The man waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, you guys should leave now. You're not welcome here! Stop yelling in front of the door factory, or I'll beat you up!"
Xiao Qianyue cried uncontrollably.
But standing there was no use; she could only carry her younger brother back home.
She didn't want to go back to her mother's house, but she had nowhere else to go. She wanted to go back to the factory, but why wouldn't they let her in?
Just as she was crying her heart out, she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her name.
"Yueyue? What are you doing here? Why are you crying?"
Little Qian Yue's crying paused for a moment, then she burst into loud sobs and threw herself into the arms of the travel-worn Lu Congyue.
"Uncle Lu, waaaah... save my mother..."
Lu Congyue frowned deeply: "What? It's been so many days, and your mother still hasn't returned?"
He was delayed for a day or two because of dealing with Lin Wei's matter, and then rushed back, but he was still too late. He didn't know how Zhuang Qingxiang had gotten through those days.
Damn it, if he finds out who inexplicably moved into Zhuang Qingxiang's place, he'll make them pay!
Anger flared between his brows, but Lu Congyue forced it down and took Cheng Lin from Xiao Qianyue to coax him. However, the child, who was usually easy to soothe, was now crying incessantly.
Little Qian Yue, hiccuping between sobs, said, "My little brother is hungry, that's why he keeps crying..."
"Hungry?" Lu Congyue asked, puzzled. "Your mother isn't home. Didn't your teacher, Uncle Sun, Uncle Shi, and Uncle Niu take care of you two?"
Little Qian Yue's eyes were swollen from crying. She sobbed, "We moved out and went back to Mom's house... but Mom was arrested again. They won't give us food, they make me work, and they beat me. Waaah... I want to go home, but they won't let me in..."
Little Qianyue pointed towards the factory gate and complained.
The child's expression was not very clear, but Lu Congyue still managed to capture the key information.
Zhuang Qingxiang was released, but for some reason she moved away with her two children. Then she was arrested again, leaving her two children to suffer at her parents' home.
Lu Congyue reached out and grabbed Xiao Qianyue's small hand, asking worriedly, "Did they hit you? Where did they hit you? Let Uncle see."
Little Qian Yue cried as she showed him her arm and her bottom, complaining, "They hit me with strips, it hurts so much..."
Sure enough, Lu Congyue saw red marks left by whipping on her arms, buttocks, and legs.
Great! That's wonderful! Beating his daughter and starving his son, Qian Dayou's family is truly admirable!
Lu Congyue ground his back teeth, carried the crying Cheng Lin on his back, picked up Qian Yue with one hand and his luggage with the other, and strode into the factory.
"Open the door!"
With his stern shout, the door opened.
"Director Lu, you're finally back!" the security staff shouted as soon as they saw him. "Something terrible has happened at our factory."
Lu Congyue looked at him coldly and asked in a low voice, "Yueyue, was it him who wouldn't let you in?"
Xiao Qianyue hugged his neck and nodded gently.
The man immediately panicked: "Director Lu, this isn't my fault! I was just following Section Chief Niu's orders. These are extraordinary times; outsiders aren't allowed in or out. This child's mother was arrested for stealing important documents from our factory. How could I let her in?"
Lu Congyue frowned upon hearing this. How could such a thing happen? So Zhuang Qingxiang was arrested? It seems she was taken to the police station…
Given what happened, he couldn't very well reprimand the person in front of him, since the person was just following the rules.
"Understood!" he said in a deep voice. "I will investigate this matter further. As for the two children, there's nothing wrong with them. I will take them home and care for them. Also, go find Niu Jianzhong and tell him to come to my house immediately!"
After giving the instructions, Lu Congyue took the two children straight to his home.
The courtyard gate was locked. Lu Congyue took out his key and opened the gate. The courtyard was deserted and there was not a trace of human activity.
Once inside, the house felt even more deserted.
Lu Congyue put Xiao Qianyue down and started tidying up the kang (a heated brick bed). After tidying up, he put down Xiao Chenglin, who was crying, and then realized that something was wrong.
