Chapter 158 I don't know who is watching whom, putting the cart before the horse
When Sun Shan and the other two heard that there were human traffickers outside, they were scared. Whatever they said would come true, but how could there be human traffickers in Hejia Village?
Sun Shan asked in confusion: "Mrs. He, what kind of human traffickers are you? Did they kidnap a lot of children?"
If that were really the case, it would be a human tragedy.
The most despicable people in the world are human traffickers. They are unforgivable criminals and deserve to be put to death by slow slicing. They tear families apart and make the trafficked children suffer a fate worse than death.
Mrs. He took a sip of tea brought by the servant, patted her chest, and said gently: "The people who performed acrobatics today were human traffickers. Many children gathered around to watch, and the acrobats had people pretend to be spectators, but secretly knocked the children unconscious and hid them. Later, someone discovered that the children were missing and shouted loudly. When people came to look for them, the acrobats had all run away at some point."
After touching He Chunyuan and He Shuqiang and making sure they were fine, Mrs. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. She clasped her hands together and bowed to the sky: "Fortunately you didn't go out to play today, or you would have scared me to death."
The nanny behind them also said thankfully: "Master and Miss are lucky, God bless you."
Normally, the two of them love to play, and they would not go out to watch acrobatics or shows. It is really rare. I think it must be God's will and the ancestors' blessings.
He Shuqiang looked up and said fearfully, "Mother, it was Brother Shan who told us not to go out. He said there were too many people and we wouldn't know if we were abducted by human traffickers, so we didn't go out to play."
He Chunyuan also agreed: "Yes, mother, we are lucky to have listened to Brother Shan. I will not go to crowded places in the future. If I am kidnapped by human traffickers, I will never see my mother, father, grandfather, and grandmother again."
Madam He nodded with satisfaction: "I am very pleased that you think this way."
Then he said to Sun Shan, "Shanzi, you did a good job. The more crowded the place is, the better we should stay away from it and not go to watch the fun."
Sun Shan hummed and said seriously, "Thank you, Madam, for your teachings."
Mrs. He saw that the three of them were studying hard, so she was not in a hurry to call the two siblings back home. They would just be playing at home, so it would be better for them to stay here and study.
Previously, my father-in-law wanted to let Sun Shan be his schoolmate, but Mrs. He did not agree. She felt that Sun Shan was too short and too thin. As a schoolmate, he would not be able to win a fight with others, let alone protect Qiang'er.
Hearing his father say that he was reluctant to let him go, he breathed a sigh of relief. It would be better if he didn't come. I secretly said that country people are country people, they have no vision. As a study partner, the He family will pay for his living expenses and tuition, and there will be great teachers to teach him. I don't know how many people are looking forward to it.
Today, when I saw Sun Shan taking Qiang Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er to study, I suddenly felt that it was really good to have Sun Shan as a study partner. Yuan Jie'er is okay. Although she is a little lazy, she is still obedient and will definitely learn when asked to.
Qiang Ge'er was different. He was afraid of no one except the teacher in school. It was extremely difficult for him to study except when he was in school.
I never thought that a small guy like Sun Shan could actually make Qiang Ge study hard and not play. This is very rare.
Then I thought about yesterday, when Qiang Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er came back with a roast goose, and then I realized that it was Sun Shan who treated them.
Sun Shan was a farmer's son, so he was willing to spend a little money as soon as he was asked.
In particular, Qiang Ge'er and Yuan Jie'er asked the cook to cut off the four goose legs of the roast goose and share them with the elders in the family in a particularly filial manner.
Qiang Geer also explained that the two big roast goose legs were for grandpa and grandma, and the two small roast goose legs were for dad and mom, and he and his sister only needed to eat the roast goose head and roast goose breast. He also said that the delicious ones would be left for the elders, and the unpalatable ones would be left for them.
The He family was deeply moved by what he said. After asking a few more questions, the truth came out: it was Sun Shan who taught him that.
Mrs. He couldn't help but look up to Sun Shan. He was such a good boy, well-mannered and fond of reading, which was very rare.
I feel a little regretful that I am not Qiang Ge'er's study partner, but nothing can be forced. Maybe we are not destined to be together.
Madam He said gently, "Stay here and study hard with Shanzi. Later, Mother will send someone to pick you two up. Don't go out. It's a mess outside."
He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan quickly agreed: "Don't worry, mother, we are not going anywhere."
Sun Shan also responded: "Madam He, we will not leave the house."
Mrs. He came and left in a hurry. With such a big incident as the appearance of human traffickers in Hejia Village, she had to go back to get information. At the same time, she left more servants here to look after He Shuqiang and his sister.
Sun Shan looked at the disappearing figure and didn't understand why Mrs. He didn't take the two siblings back. Wouldn't it be safer and more reassuring to see them in person?
Not long after Mrs. He left, Sun Bomin, the village chief, and Second Uncle Sun hurried back. When they saw that Sun Shan and the other two were there, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Bomin said excitedly: "Shanzi, you didn't go out today, did you?"
Sun Shan, He Shuqiang and He Chunyuan shook their heads.
Sun Bomin said seriously: "Don't go out. There are human traffickers outside."
At the beginning, it was noisy outside because it was close to the New Year, there were more people and more programs, so it was naturally noisy.
The rumor spread, but no one knew who spread the rumor that there were human traffickers. Sun Boming and others did not take it seriously and thought that people outside were talking nonsense.
He Shuyu, in particular, sneered, "I've been in Hejia Village for more than a decade, and I've never heard of human traffickers."
After a while, the retribution came and they found out that there really were human traffickers outside. When groups of officials poured into Hejia Village, the village chief and others realized something was wrong. They asked a few members of the He family and found out that the acrobats were actually human traffickers who kidnapped children by performing acrobatics to deceive others.
After hearing this, Sun Bomin did not react. He thought that when he came out, Sun Shan was practicing calligraphy. Besides, Sun Shan was a dull person and did not like to play. He loved reading the most, so he definitely would not come out to play.
Who knew that Uncle Sun would say, "Shanzi didn't come out, but the He siblings said they wanted to play with Shanzi, so Shanzi was kidnapped by them. It was the He siblings who took Shanzi to buy roast goose yesterday."
Uncle Sun was still thinking that Shanzi was a very brave boy. He bought a roast goose weighing 1 liang each and bought 2, which made a total of 2 liang.
Although the roast goose is delicious, it is painful to eat and it tastes really bad. The only child in my eldest brother's family is really a spendthrift.
Sun Bomin felt that what his second uncle Sun said made sense, and the village chief also felt that it made a lot of sense. The two siblings of the He family loved to play, so it was normal for them to urge Shanzi to come out and play.
So the three of them hurried back from the candy shop. When they saw Sun Shan and the other two reading peacefully, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Bomin instructed: "You guys stay in the house and read books. Don't go out. It's a mess outside. If the human traffickers are still there, they will capture you."
He Shuqiang patted his fat chest and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will stay here and help you take good care of Brother Shan."
He Chunyuan echoed, "Uncle, as long as I'm here, Brother Shan won't be allowed to go anywhere. Don't worry, if he runs away without permission, I'll have the servants tie him up and not let him leave."
Sun Shan looked at the two siblings in silence, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
I don't know who is watching who, it's putting the cart before the horse.
