Chapter 301 - Chapter 301: Chapter 301 Ignorant and Backward (2/2)
“You two are absolutely shameless. Xiao Yu wasn’t even your biological daughter. Ever since she arrived at your place, you treated her nothing better than an animal, and now you have the audacity to come here and scam money! Tell me, when has little Xiao Yu ever been betrothed?”
Following the lady’s comment, the onlookers joined in the uproar, spewing insults and belittlement that even Chen Yu couldn’t bear to listen to.
Yet, unbelievably, the couple sat as if they were being showered with compliments, composed and unaffected.
Chen Yu instantly understood that these people merely wanted to extract a sum of money from him using this charade.
No wonder Chu Hong had prepared several envelopes before they left Suzhou City; it looked like they would come in handy right about now.
Chen Yu let out a frustrated sigh, then stood on top of the stone mill.
“I want to ask all the kids who are here in line; if I want to take them with me, do I also have to pay a sum of money?”
The aunty who had been cracking sunflower seeds laughed as if she’d heard a joke.
“Young man, you think you can just take our village kids without paying? Are you delusional?”
Chen Yu felt his heart cool; if real criminals were to come here, couldn’t they easily take these children away?
In a daze, he noticed the eager eyes of all the children around him.
After all, Chu Hong had managed to leave this place, and most of them had been her playmates since childhood.
In the eyes of those children, Chu Hong was someone who had escaped from a life of suffering. If they could leave with Chu Hong, they too could escape the mountains.
Chen Yu took a moment to steady his breathing and then picked up the suitcase next to him, which was filled with a box of money.
Originally, he had intended to pay half a month’s salary in advance whenever he hired someone, as a way to display his credibility.
But now, he was grateful that he had brought a suitcase full of money.
The aunty who had been eating sunflower seeds suddenly became excited and promptly pulled a little girl out from the crowd.
“Since you gave little Xiao Yu ten thousand yuan, the rest of the kids should get ten thousand each too!”
Without saying much, Chen Yu distributed the money in the order it was asked for.
Those so-called parents, upon receiving the money, couldn’t contain their excitement, and their children were handed over to Chen Yu like toys.
In the end, many people pushed forward their little boys.
As Chen Yu left with thirty-six children, he did not feel the joy of having successfully recruited people. Instead, he felt a sense of accomplishment for having rescued thirty-six children from a life of misery.
He began to despise this place from the bottom of his heart!
Once they were on the train leaving the village, the children began to act strangely excited.
To them, they were facing a brand new life.
However, Chen Yu couldn’t feel happy. Upon arriving at Suzhou City, he handed the children over to Chu Hong to manage and went straight to the relevant authorities.
The hall was already in an uproar, Zhou Shengtao stood in front of the big screen, incessantly pointing at the suspects there.
“Can someone explain to me what exactly is happening here? We were about to close in on them, how could you let these thugs slip right under your noses?”
The leaders of the various action teams seated below were silent as cicadas in winter, not daring to even breathe loudly, with one of them holding a thermos and taking a trembling sip.
