Can't Take My Eyes Off You

She assumed she was simply concealing a child. What was its relationship to child trafficking?

What was the point of having more money if she was dead? What was the point of having money if she had nowhere to spend it?

"Cousin, did you really hide my child and lie to us that someone kidnapped him?" Wang Xian clutched her heart so tightly that even her fingers were trembling. "Seeing that our entire family is in so much pain that we can't even say a single word—do you feel happy?"

Wang Xian had always known that her cousin was unreliable, but she never thought that her cousin would scheme against her like that.

"I didn't hurt your child. The child is with my husband. You also know that my family has been short of money recently. I asked your mother to lend me some money, but she refused. We had no choice, so we thought about hiding your child. When the time comes, we'll demand a ransom and send the child back to you."

The woman sat there, covering her face and wailing loudly, "We were forced to do that. We had no money. We asked you to lend some to us, but you could not even do that. You forced us to go to this extent. The richer you people get, the more stingy you are."

The more the woman spoke, the angrier she became. "The Lu family is rich. You are related to the Lu family. Who would believe that you have no money? Your husband is Jiang Yao's elder brother. How could he not accept benefits from the Lu family? Now he is an official in the city. You even have a good job. You two have such a high salary, but you don't want to help me at all. And Auntie, what do you mean you don't have money? How long have you been married? You have so much betrothal money. Have you spent it all? You are unwilling to lend us money because you look down on me."

Mrs. Wang was so angry that her vision went black, and she fainted. Wang Xian was so mad that she went forward and slapped her cousin. "I don't have a cousin like you! I don't have a relative like you!"

Mr. Jiang's cigarette burned in his hand. It burned until the cigarette burned his hand. He threw the cigarette away in shock.

"What are you—" Although Mr. Jiang was a farmer, he had never quarreled with anyone in his life. At that moment, he was so angry that he wanted to scold someone, but he could not find any words to vent his anger. "You two are as lazy as loafers. You have hands and feet, but you don't work to earn money to support yourself. Why should they give you money?"

Everyone knew those two people's behavior. Who would want to lend them money?

The police arrested Wang Xian's cousin. The child was eventually found in her home. Wang Xian's cousin's husband put him in the room. Wang Xian's cousin's husband sat in the living room drinking wine and eating meat, and the child was crying loudly from hunger. He had no intention of feeding the child.

After Wang Xian's mother woke up, she hugged the child and cried. She was regretful because she let that woman into their home and caused the child to suffer. The whole family had been worried and afraid.

The only good news was that the child was not injured. He was only hungry.

After crying for a while, he fell asleep in his mother's arms after he had eaten his fill. His chubby little face was still covered in tears even after he had fallen asleep.

Wang Xian also felt a wave of lingering fear. After discussing it with Jiang Jie, she decided to take a leave of absence to help her mother take care of the child at home. She would return to work after Jiang Yao's matter had passed.
