I feel so good after dressing up as a peasant girl

Bai Jingzhou was stunned. He thought this would be the closest he would be to his cousin, but unexpectedly he had recognized the wrong person.

However, before he could apologize for disturbing the other person, the child had already murmured, "My uncle's last name is Bai."

Bai Jingzhou raised his eyebrows, suppressing his excitement, "Then can you tell me your name and age now?"

"My name is Ning Qirui, and I'm eleven years old." Ning Qirui clenched his fists and swallowed several times subconsciously. "My father runs an oil press, and the older generation calls him Dazi. My mother's surname is Wen, and my father usually calls her Sanniang. I, I have an older brother named Ning Qiyuan, and a younger brother, I... At that time, he didn't have a real name, so we always called him Sandan. I..."

Bai Jingzhou breathed a sigh of relief. He patted Ning Qirui's shoulder, then thought about it and hugged him in his arms again, patting his back with a little force.

Letting go of the confused Ning Qirui, Bai Jingzhou said to him with a smile:

"My uncle's name is Ning Da, and my aunt's name is Wen Sanniang. They have three sons in total. The eldest son is Ning Qiyuan, the second son is Ning Qirui, and the third son was named Ning Qi'an two years ago."

"My uncle said that they gave their youngest son this name because they hoped their second son, who was living away from home, would be safe and sound."

Ning Qirui couldn't bear it any longer. He squatted down with his hands covering his face, and burst into tears uncontrollably.

He was six years old when he was abandoned by his biological grandmother. He already remembered many things. The human traffickers took him to the capital of Xingzhou and sold him to his adoptive parents. Although he was powerless to resist and had no way to go home on his own, he always hoped that his parents would come and take him home so that he would no longer have to suffer beatings, scoldings, hunger and cold.

But he waited and waited, hoped and hoped, until his heart grew cold and his hope turned into despair. His parents never suddenly appeared in front of him one day as he wished.

After being kicked out by his adoptive parents, he had thought about going home, but he was penniless and only an eleven-year-old child. Where could he go alone?

The most important thing is that he couldn't remember which town he lived in since he didn't know when.

He had been sad about being abandoned by his relatives, afraid of the human traffickers and adoptive parents being too vicious, hoped and fantasized about finding his parents, felt lost and desperate because he had not been redeemed for a long time, and grateful for the help and shelter of his neighbors and Geng Dong's family. The only thing he had never imagined was that he would be suddenly recognized by his aunt's little cousin on the streets of Xingzhou city.

This way of reuniting with relatives was indeed a bit outrageous. Ning Qirui said he was a little overwhelmed for a while.

He cried for a long time, and the neighbors who cared about him came over following the sound of his cry. Even Geng Dongjia was invited over by the enthusiastic aunts and sisters.

Some people asked him what happened and whether he was bullied by outsiders. Some comforted him and told him not to be afraid or sad. Others looked at Geng Dongjia with burning eyes, hoping that he could give Ning Qirui some reassurance.

Ning Qirui was surrounded by everyone's concern, and the urge to cry became stronger and stronger. However, the "outsider" Bai Jingzhou was in an awkward situation at the moment. If he did not clarify for Bai Jingzhou, he would most likely become the first person in history to be scolded or even beaten for successfully recognizing his relatives.

Ning Qirui wiped away his tears, took a deep breath and said to everyone: "Don't worry, I'm not being bullied. I'm just so happy to have found my family."

Everyone:? ? ? ! ! !

Ning Qirui pulled Bai Jingzhou over and said, "This is my eldest cousin from my aunt's family. He recognized me and told me that my family has always been thinking about me. I was so happy that I couldn't help crying."

Ever since he left home, he had been living a life where crying was wrong, laughing was wrong, working was wrong, resting was wrong, talking was wrong, keeping silent was wrong, and even his breathing could be picked on and he would be beaten and scolded for any slight or severe mistake.

He hasn't cried loudly for a long time.

Bai Jingzhou bowed to the group of people surrounding them, "Thank you all for taking care of my cousin over the years. If it weren't for all your kindness, my cousin would not have been able to wait for the day to be reunited with his family."

His tone was sincere, and everyone felt happy after hearing it. Although they helped Ning Qirui not for anything in return, being recognized and appreciated by his relatives, even if it was just a simple thank you, everyone still felt a sense of satisfaction that their efforts were recognized.

Someone asked Bai Jingzhou, "Young man, how did you recognize your cousin? You were not that old when he left home, right?"

Bai Jingzhou said: "Qi Rui is very similar to his elder brother and younger brother, and my uncle and aunt have never given up looking for him. They always talk about Qi Rui to the relatives. I have heard it so much that I will subconsciously pay more attention to him when I go out."

Everyone was immediately happy when they heard this. These days, most people have a hard time, and with so many children, if one is lost, there are many others. So for someone like Ning Qirui, who has been missing for so long, his parents haven't given up looking for him. This is really rare, which shows that they really love him very much.

Geng Dongjia was also very happy that Ning Qirui was able to find his relatives at this critical juncture, but he was a businessman, and caution and shrewdness were engraved in his bones. He was subconsciously wary of Gu Wenxuan and Bai Jingzhou who suddenly appeared and seemed harmless.

He invited the two of them, "This is not the place to talk. Why don't you come to my shop and have a good chat with Qi Rui about his family affairs."

Bai Jingzhou was such a smart man. When Geng Dongjia said this, Bai Jingzhou immediately understood that he was worried about him and Gu Wenxuan. He said, "Okay. It just so happens that we also want to stay in your store tonight."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Geng immediately called his waiter over and said, "Ershun, go and prepare two clean rooms next to each other for these two guests."

The waiter left in response, but after the crowd gradually dispersed, Bai Jingzhou pulled Ning Qirui aside and asked him something, "After the human trafficker took you away, did he prepare a contract to sell you?"

Ning Qirui shook his head. "After he caught me, he put me in a sack and sent me to that family. That family is an ordinary citizen like us. According to the law, they can't buy people. They were afraid of leaving any evidence and being reported. They were hiding it, so there was no time to leave any paper evidence."

So even though the couple gave money to the human traffickers at the beginning, they always told others that Ning Qirui was an adopted child from a distant relative.

Anyway, even if there was no indenture, it would be easy for two adults to deal with a helpless child. Ning Qirui was so young at the time, and the couple naturally were not afraid that he would rebel.
