Chapter 693 - Teenage Girl Enforcer(12) (1/2)

Xu Shan San’s parents were successful millionaires from their businesses outside the village.

But when Xu Shan Shan was eight years old, her parents passed away, and their property was divided among her paternal relatives. But none of them was willing to raise Xu Shan San.

So they sent Xu Shan Shan back to Huang Shan Village.

Xu Shan Shan’s grandmother was still alive at the time, and she was living with her. But since her grandmother passed away, Xu Shan Shan has been living alone.

Usually, the villagers are the ones helping her scrape by.

“Do you have any dreams?” Shi Sheng asked her.

Xu Shan Shan’s eyes gleamed, “I want to learn stuff, go to college, and make a lot of money so everyone in the village can have a good life.”

She had already seen the depths of humanity’s wickedness.

But also the peak of its kindness.

“How would you like to come with me?”

Xu Shan Shan blinked confusingly at Shi Sheng as she did not know what she meant.

“I can get you out of this place, get you into school.”

“But why?” Xu Shan Shan asked. Though she was young, she understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

“You’re just too cute.” Shi Sheng shrugged.

“……” How can I be cute when I’m so tan?

Xu Shan Shan asked Shi Sheng many questions, and in the end, she couldn’t give Shi Sheng an immediate answer. She hurried to find the other village as soon as the sun rose. Shi Sheng waited until almost ten o’clock before she came back, along with many villagers.

“Are you the one who wants to take Xu Shan Shan away? You’re still so young…” A man with a local accent asked Shi Sheng in crude Mandarin, “How do we know you’re not a con artist?”

She’s so young, there’s no way she’s reliable enough.

Xu Shan Shan is usually very obedient, and therefore very liked by the villagers. In fact, when her parents were alive, they also contributed a lot to the village.

But everyone has their own difficulties. They couldn’t adopt and care for her. They could only help her out whenever they could.

If there was really a good person who would adopt her, they would be happy for her as well.

But this young maiden came here looking for someone. Why does she want to adopt Shan Shan all of a sudden after just one night?

The villagers were not sophisticated people, but they were not stupid.

They spent half a day discussing but still couldn’t come up with a decision.

“What should I do to make all of you trust me?” Shi Sheng asked as she folded her arms in annoyance.

The group discussed this issue for a very long time. Finally, the man from earlier stood up, “Let’s go to the police in town, let them show if you can be trusted.”

Human traffickers are usually especially afraid of facing the police.

Shi Sheng was not bothered. Since she wanted to adopt Xu Shan Shan, she would need to go to the police station to make it official.

When they all saw Shi Sheng’s indifference towards their suggestion, they were otherwise convinced that she wasn’t a human trafficker.

However, the villagers still sent a few of their more knowledgeable people to accompany Shi Sheng to the town’s police station.

Because Shi Sheng was still considerably young, the police were quite sceptical of her ability to raise a child, and it took some effort to reach an agreement.

Xu Shan Shan still wanted to go back to the mountains to say goodbye to the villagers, so Shi Sheng had to accompany her back.

The villagers were all anxiously waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

As soon as they got back, Shi Sheng was overwhelmed by the villagers’ local dialect, so she could not understand a word they said.

But the villagers could still see the good intentions in Shi Sheng’s eyes.

The villagers butchered and prepared their ducks and chickens as a farewell gift. It was as lively as a New Year’s festival in the village.

Shi Sheng took a seat, watching their liveliness as they each took turns saying goodbye to Xu Shan Shan.

The man who suggested they go to the police station came up to Shi Sheng and sat down beside her. “I heard you were looking for Li Cui Hua?” He asked in broken Mandarin.
