531 Blocking the City Gate

Qiao Mei laughed and said, “I know Uncle Hu is the best. I’ll leave this matter to you!”

“Alright, take good care of yourself too. I’ll arrange for someone to go now.” After saying that, Chen Hu hung up the phone and arranged to send a van to the village. He then sent a small team to Li Gui’s house to search for clues.

Qiao Mei searched ward by ward and finally found the one Zhang Wei was in. Li Gui was bent over Zhang Wei’s bed, crying silently.

“I’ve made arrangements with some people in the county city to transfer Zhang Miao to the hospital there. Someone will come and pick her up in a while,” Qiao Mei said softly.

“Thank you, Mei Mei. I don’t even know how to thank you. I’ll go and ask Zhang Qian for money to save Miao Miao now!” Li Gui said.

“There’s no need to thank me. She’s also my younger sister. Later, you should also go together with Zhang Miao. Spend more time with Zhang Wei now. I’ll call grandfather and ask him to come over and keep an eye on Zhang Wei. Later, I’ll also go to the hospital in the county city to take care of Zhang Miao,” Qiao Mei said.

“It’s better not to let the old master come. It’s already so dark and he’s not in good health. I’ll stay here and keep an eye on the boy. Your auntie will also be here soon,” Zhao Liang said.

He had just asked his wife to prepare food and send it over. His wife knew that he was a warm-hearted person and would help anyone who needed help, so she did not blame him.

However, Li Gui was still a married woman. Even if she did not have a husband, she was still a woman. If Zhao Liang helped her too effusively, it was inevitable that there would be dirty-minded people who would gossip about it.

Zhao Liang’s wife would stay behind with Zhao Liang to take care of Zhang Wei tonight.

If not for the fact that Zhao Liang had such a good wife supporting him, he would not have been able to devote himself to helping the village and working hard to build it up.

“That’s fine too. Sorry to have to trouble you, Uncle Zhao,” Qiao Mei said.

“Thank you so much, Brother Zhao. I won’t forget how you take care of my entire family! I will definitely repay you well in the future!” Li Gui said as she continued to weep.

“We’re all fellow villagers, there’s no need to be so polite. All of you can go and visit Zhang Miao. When the car comes later, don’t forget to bring all your things. You have me taking care of things here,” Zhao Liang said with a smile.

Qiao Mei went out to take a look at the items on the three-wheeled vehicle and retrieved Zhang Wei’s clothes.

“Are you sure you want mom to go to the Zhang family on her own?” Xia Zhe said with a frown.

Of course Qiao Mei was worried. She knew that Zhang Qian was not someone to be trifled with. Old Madam Zhang held the purse strings in the family and it would be a waste of Li Gui’s time to go there.

However, if Qiao Mei did not allow Li Gui to do it, she would never give up. Instead of letting her live in a dream, she might as well force her into a desperate situation and let her see what the Zhang family was like when something happened to their children.

“This is her own business. I don’t care. I just need to take good care of my younger siblings,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Zhe understood what Qiao Mei was thinking, but he felt that it would be better if the mother and daughter could talk things out. It would be too risky to let Li Gui put herself in danger.

“Alright, don’t think about this anymore. You don’t know what Zhang Qian did to her in the past. I just want her to understand that if she doesn’t get a divorce, these children won’t be able to survive,” Qiao Mei said resignedly.

Xia Zhe brought down all the luggage from the vehicle and helped Qiao Mei down.

“You should go home and rest tonight. Someone has to take care of grandfather too. I’ll take care of Zhang Miao tonight. Why not you come and take over from me tomorrow?” Xia Zhe said gently.

Qiao Mei leaned quietly against Xia Zhe. She was still very concerned about Zhang Chao and Zhang Qin. She wondered if they would get beaten up and if some bad guys had taken them somewhere to kill them. In her other life, she had often seen cases of people buying and selling children’s organs as well as selling children to earn money.

She did not know if the injured Zhang Miao would be able to survive the night, if Zhang Miao’s broken ribs would affect her life in the future, and if Zhang Miao would end up with any psychological trauma that would affect her for the rest of her life.

She really did not dare to imagine how what happened today would affect these children in the future.

At the same time, she had a trace of delusional hope. She hoped that Zhang Qian still had some humanity and could come to the hospital to visit Zhang Miao and help look for the two missing children.

“I think I’d better go with you. I’m worried that Uncle Chen Hu will ask for details about the children. He’s currently sending people to search for them,” Qiao Mei said worriedly.

Chen Hu had already sealed off the entrances and exits of all the train stations and bus stations. Anyone bringing children of between two to fifteen years old in or out of the stations had to undergo strict screening.
