Chapter 89: Buying and Selling

The two of them went to town together and called the police.

The police were shocked.

Of course, they were shocked that the adopted son had come to call the police to arrest his adoptive parents. This was the first time in this remote area.

Shen Sangyu saw the shocked look on the young policeman’s face and suddenly remembered that the laws today are not as perfect as those in later generations. Even decades later, the laws will still have shortcomings after countless revisions.

In this era, buying and selling children seems to be very common in these remote places, and it is even commonplace.

“We should not only call the police for buying and selling children, but also sue their family for stealing money.”

Shen Sangyu said a number, and the police immediately took it seriously.

Eight hundred yuan is definitely a huge sum of money in this era.

“Do you have evidence?”

Shen Sangyu: “I heard it with my own ears. The thief is called Wen Chunyan, my husband’s sister.

Last year, she and her mother came to my house. Before leaving, they stole a fifty-yuan goose yellow coat from me. It is still in her closet.”

Shen Sangyu didn’t pursue it before, because she was Wen Qingchuan’s sister, and she had already left, and it was too far away to pursue the responsibility.

But this time they all came back, and from the beginning she had intended to get back all the debts she owed.

Now that they and the Wen family have already torn their faces apart, there is no need to save any face for each other.

This time the police were very quick to respond, especially after knowing that Wen Qingchuan was a soldier from Sijiu City, they immediately took people to respond and brought him back.

Therefore, the Wen family members who were still struggling at home were all brought to the police station an hour later.

Wen Qingchuan and Shen Sangyu, as victims, could not be at the scene, but when the Wen family members came in, the two sides met.

Wen’s father saw the two of them cursing.

Shen Sangyu could not understand the dialect, but from Wen’s father’s excited face, it should not be a good thing to say.

So…”Brother police, look, he is still scolding me, do you care!”

Police: “… Come in, be honest!”

Wen’s father: “…”

The interrogation room was separate, and the Wen family members who were originally calm suddenly panicked.

They were also ordinary people, and after repeated questioning, they finally confessed.

Wen Chunyan sneaked into the house to take the money, eight hundred yuan and a can of malted milk. The police also found the light yellow coat that Shen Sangyu mentioned at home.

Shen Sangyu has a well-proportioned figure, but Wen Chunyan is big, and the coat is made of good material. The police knew at a glance that the coat was not Wen Chunyan’s.

In addition to the things Shen Sangyu said at home today, Wen Chunyan confessed everything as soon as she sat in the interrogation room without the police asking.

As for the matter of buying the child, Li Shuhua and Wen’s father finally couldn’t stand it after repeated questioning, and confessed everything truthfully.

It is normal to buy and sell children in the countryside, even in the same village, there are people selling children. At that time, he and Li Shuhua were nearly 30 years old and had no children.

They were afraid of being criticized, so they pretended to be pregnant, and when the child was about to be born, they bought Wen Qingchuan from the traffickers.

Father Wen burst into tears when he said this: “Comrade police, we would be criticized for not having a child, and we were very good to the child at the beginning, but Qingchuan was too wild.

We never saw him smile since he was a child! Later, when we had a child, we did have less energy, but we never lacked food and clothing for the child.

But he! He became a soldier and a leader outside, and he didn’t even recognize us, the poor parents! Now he wants to call the police to arrest us!”

The interrogating police paused, and suddenly some of them did not believe it.

“The reporter said that he started taking care of his younger brother and sister at the age of four. After graduating from elementary school, he was sent directly to the mine to work.

Later, you also told him not to go back, and the reporter has provided the transfer records to the army. Since ten years ago, the reporter has remitted money to you every month.”

Wen’s father was stunned.

He didn’t know that there was such an operation. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and finally he lowered his head with a decadent look.

He knew that everything was over.

It’s just that there is no crime of buying and selling now, but Shen Sangyu did not intend to let the Wen family go.

He called the police station to contact Qin Duanshan to contact a lawyer, waiting to sue Wen’s father and Li Shuhua.

As for Wen Chunyan, because the amount of theft was huge, Shen Sangyu did not issue a letter of understanding, and in the end he still had to stay in the police station.

In one day, the whole Honglian Village was in turmoil.

Shen Sangyu and Wen Qingchuan took advantage of the night to return to the Liu family.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu had just finished work and only heard some rumors, but they didn’t know what happened. They could only wait at the village gate.

When they saw Shen Sangyu and Wen Qingchuan, their eyes lit up immediately.

“Qingchuan! Sangyu!”

Uncle Liu hurried forward and was relieved when he saw that the two were not injured: “When your aunt and I came back, we heard that the police came to the village today. I saw that you were not there. What happened?”

Wen Qingchuan told him what happened today.

Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu were shocked, and soon said, “At the beginning, Li Shuhua did tell others that she was pregnant. Later, when she was about to give birth, she went back to her parents’ home and brought you back.

 I didn’t expect that you were bought. How could the Wen family do such a heartless thing!”

Uncle Liu frowned slightly, and then asked, “What are you going to do? Have you found your biological parents?”

“There is no news about my biological parents yet. The traffickers have passed away. As for the Wen family, I will find a lawyer to sue them.”

Wen Qingchuan hesitated. After all, this kind of thing might be the first in such a place. He didn’t know how Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu would view him.

Unexpectedly, the two elders nodded and said, “We should sue them. The Wen family treated you like this. You were so young at that time, but they let you go out to work secretly.

Who would treat a child like this? Qingchuan, don’t feel pressured. Uncle and Aunt are here. If anyone in the village dares to say anything, uncle will teach them a lesson for you!”

“Thank you, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu.”

Wen Qingchuan had no expression on his face, but his tone was much happier than usual.

“It’s just that I will go back with Sangyu early the day after tomorrow. The lawyer we found will come by then, and we may need to trouble Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu.”

Uncle Liu waved his hand: “What’s the trouble? Leave it to uncle.”

The Liu family doesn’t care about other people’s eyes.

He hasn’t had a child in these years. In fact, some people suggested that he buy one so that someone can see him off when he is old.

But Uncle Liu felt that the origins of those children were unclear. If the children’s parents were looking for someone else, what was the difference between him and a human trafficker.

Just like Li Shuhua, knowing clearly that they destroyed other people’s families, they still did it in the end. This is a sin!

That’s not buying, that’s stealing!

At night, Wen Qingchuan boiled water for Shen Sangyu. After taking a shower, Wen Qingchuan went to bed with a chill.

He thought he would not be able to sleep after what happened today, but he was exhausted after all. He slept until the next morning without saying a word to Shen Sanyu.

And Zhuang Xiuhong came angrily early in the morning after learning that her parents-in-law and sister-in-law were arrested at the police station.
