After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again

When President Qian of Beiyang University gave Tong Jia an admission letter, he also gave her three approval notes.

One is a note for exemption of two years of tuition and miscellaneous fees, one is a note for free accommodation in a single dormitory in the school for two years, and the other is a note for a work-study position in the school.

Principal Qian felt a little embarrassed when he gave her these three notes.

He said, “I originally wanted to waive your tuition and fees for four years, but my term will expire in two years, and we can’t predict how the situation will change by then.

So, I discussed it with Lao Guan and I still think it is better to teach people how to fish than to give them fish.

During the two years I've been here, your tuition and dormitory are free, and you can also bring your brother to live in the dormitory with you.

I'll find you a part-time job to pay for your studies, and you should start saving money now. Although you may not be able to save enough for your tuition by then, don't you still have your supervisor?

He said that when the time comes, he can help apply for delayed payment.

Of course, if I don't leave after two years, then it will be easy. I will also exempt you from the remaining two years."

Tong Jia was not short of money, so naturally she didn't bother with Principal Qian about these things.

She bowed to Principal Qian and Principal Guan with gratitude, then went back with the admission letter and three approval slips.

However, Tong Jia did not intend to turn down the rental house near Beiyang University immediately.

Not to mention that if they turn it down now, they will be breaching the contract. Not only will they have to pay liquidated damages, but they won't even get back the rent they paid in advance. Not only will it be a loss, but they will also be cutting off their own retreat.

The rental house outside the school had to be reserved until she officially enrolled and saw and confirmed that the dormitory could accommodate her and Tao Junle.

Although everything is expensive during wartime, houses are different. They are the cheapest.

When they rented the house, the landlord said: "Five years ago, people would fight over this house for two silver dollars a month.

Nowadays, I can only rent for ten silver dollars a year, but the prices outside are getting higher every year. The world is really terrible.

Do you know what is the least valuable and what is the most valuable now?

Houses and antiques are not valuable, while food, medicine and cloth are the most valuable.

I didn’t catch up with the good times. If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have bought a house a few years ago. I should have stocked up on food…”

When Tong Jia heard this, she thought about whether she should buy some houses and antiques while the prices were low.

But then she remembered that she had forgotten to ask Grandma Rong and Grandma a very important question, which was that after she fulfilled Grandma Rong's wish and returned to her own world, would she be able to retain the functions of the RV?

If possible, she would certainly like to take advantage of this time to prepare some antiques and collectibles in advance. The value of these things in the future will be much higher than gold bars, diamonds and the like.

Forget about the house, there is still nearly twenty years of battle to fight.

If you buy it now because it’s cheap, you may not even see a brick when you come back later.

Before, she didn't have much time to wander around because she was preparing for the entrance examination of Beiyang University. Now that admission was a foregone conclusion, Tong Jia came back and took out the map to study it carefully.

After studying it for nearly an hour, she finally realized that something seemed to be missing in the rental house today.

After looking around, she suddenly remembered that Tao Junle was missing.

Because Tao Junle couldn't speak and was not much taller than a table, he usually walked and did things very quietly, so Tong Jia didn't notice that he was missing at first.

I looked at the time and it was already twelve o'clock.

At this time in the past, Tao Junle would have already brought in lunch that he had bought or made himself and invited her to eat together.

"It's already twelve o'clock. Could Lele have had an accident?" Tong Jia said to herself.

Worried that something might have happened to Tao Junle, she didn't even bother to clean up the map on the table and immediately ran out to look for someone.

Her first stop was to the police station, but when the police heard that the child she was looking for was a mute and had been missing for the whole morning, they all ignored her.

Tong Jia, anxious, had no choice but to run to Principal Guan's house again.

Fortunately, Principal Guan really cared about Tao Junle. As soon as he heard that Tao Junle was missing, he immediately called someone he knew at the police station.

After hanging up the phone, Principal Guan said seriously, "Sister Lele, don't worry.

I asked my friend in the police station, and he said that there have indeed been some beggars appearing in Tianjin recently.

They have also been investigating the matter and now have some clues, but it will take time to track them down.

Go home first and wait patiently. I guess... I guess we'll have news about Lele in two days at most."

Two days?

Tong Jia can't even wait two hours now, how can she possibly wait two days?

Tong Jia asked, "Principal Guan, could you give me your friend's phone number or address? I'll go find him directly."

If they are short of manpower, I can help..."

"You're just a little girl, how can you help? Don't let Lele be kidnapped again when he finds her.

Good boy, be obedient and go back and wait for news. We will promptly inform you if there is any news from our side... Hey... why did you run away? " Madam Guan was worried that Tong Jia would not only fail to save Tao Junle but also get herself involved, so she tried to persuade her.

But before he could finish his words, Tong Jia ran away.

She couldn't just sit there and wait for news, so she ran to the police station again.

In the name of Principal Guan, I found the friend who had just spoken to Principal Guan on the phone.

The police station did not lie to Principal Guan. They did have clues about the beggar gang, but the biggest problem now was the lack of a bait.

And Tong Jia is the bait that comes to the door.

This was also due to the fact that the current telephone reception was too poor. Tong Jia heard it when Principal Guan was talking on the phone with his friend in the police station, so she took the initiative to come over and act as bait.

With the self-defense equipment in the RV, Tong Jia is confident that he can ensure his own safety.

Her willingness to use herself as bait for her brother made everyone feel that the two of them really have a deep sibling relationship.

Is it a brotherly love? Tong Jia couldn't tell.

She said to herself in her heart that Tao Junle came out with her, and as long as she was safe, she could not let Tao Junle get into trouble.

Otherwise, it would be too unfair to the things I collected from the Tao family.

Since it is a bait, you can't throw it too blatantly into the hands of the flower boy. Those people are not fools.

Therefore, the police asked Tong Jia to go out on the street to look for people in a big way, especially if he saw someone who had clues or characteristics that the police had. Not only should he ask them, but he should also ask them with tears in his eyes and at the top of his lungs.

Only in this way can those who take pictures of beggars relax their vigilance.

Things turned out just as the police had expected.

Tong Jia came out of the police station in a daze, with an expression that looked like he had no way out and no one to turn to.

When she was about to reach the door of the rental house, she suddenly seemed to have lost her strength and sat down on the ground.

He then grabbed a middle-aged woman behind him and burst into tears, crying about the hardships of making a living with his younger brother, the helplessness of taking his younger brother to seek medical treatment, and the helplessness of having no place to find his younger brother who had suddenly disappeared.

The middle-aged woman cried so hard that she was at her wit's end.

Just when she was in a panic, an elderly woman came out from the crowd, took the initiative to help Tong Jia up, and comforted her, "Child, everyone encounters difficulties in life.

According to what you said, your brother is ill, so the beggar boy shouldn't stay. You should hurry home now. Maybe your brother has already gone home."

Other onlookers who heard Tong Jia's crying and ran over to watch the fun also echoed and advised Tong Jia to go home first.

Tong Jia tried to take two steps, and was about to collapse again because of the lack of strength in her legs. The old lady took two quick steps to support her, sighed, and said, "Alas... the child is still young, and without adults at home, she can't withstand the hardship.

Her aunt, please lend a hand and we will help her go home."

Tong Jia also obediently followed the two people out. The other onlookers thought they knew each other and consciously showed them a way out.

Originally, they were only separated from Tong Jia's rental house by an alley, but the two men supported Tong Jia and walked farther and farther away.

The further they walked, the more excited Tong Jia became. Seeing the environment around them becoming more and more desolate, the old lady who had been supporting her let go and started groping in her pocket for something.

Tong Jia was worried that it was a drug or something, so she simply pretended to be exhausted and fainted on the middle-aged woman.

As soon as she fainted, all her weight naturally fell on the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was caught off guard and was pinned to the ground.

She cried "Ouch" and asked the old lady for help, but was scolded by the old lady.

The old lady said, "Stop crying, the girl just fainted because she couldn't hold on any longer, so it's a good opportunity to save us some medicine.

If you wake her up, will you pay for the wasted medicine money?

Shut up and take her back quickly so she can be shipped out with the previous batch of goods."

Tong Jia tried her best to relax her body. When the two men lifted her up, she deliberately fell down hard, trying to consume their strength.

About ten minutes later, Tong Jia felt herself being thrown onto a piece of straw.

When those people closed the door, a pair of small hands immediately held her hands and began to write words on her palms.

With the familiar touch of the palm of her hand, Tong Jia felt a lot more at ease, even though she couldn't get her teeth fixed yet. At least she didn't find the wrong place.

God knows how worried she was on the road just now that she might have found the wrong person.

She wanted to open her eyes and ask directly, but she heard other people talking in the room, so she listened to their conversation while trying to feel the words Tao Junle wrote on her palm.

"Little mute, do you know this big sister?"

"You called him a little mute, and he couldn't answer you. It doesn't matter whether they know each other or not. They won't be sold to the same place anyway."

These were the voices of two young boys.

Then a timid girl's voice was heard: "Why weren't we sold to the same place? How do you know so clearly?"

The second boy who spoke said, “I’ve been locked up here for several months. I’ve seen them bring people in to pick people up every once in a while, and I’ve already figured out the pattern.

Here, boys under three years old fetch the highest price, and are specifically prepared for families without sons. To continue the family line, people will pay any price.

The second type is the sister who was just brought back. She is beautiful and looks like a virgin. The madams of all the brothels are fighting for her.

Next up are girls aged seven and up, who are able to work and have room for training. Pretty girls will likely be picked up by the madam, while those who are not will be sold directly to wealthy families as maids.

The most difficult ones to deal with are boys like us who are seven or eight years old.

We have already remembered that we can't keep her well after buying her. If she is not good-looking, she will not be used in the brothel.

We can only take our chances by selling them to people who ship piglets abroad.

Otherwise, do you think that I have been here for several months and no one has bought me, so why don’t they deal with me and keep me well?

Isn’t it just to wait for the ship that will arrive at Tianjin Port in a week?

Once the ship reaches the shore, our final destination will be clear."

These words made Tong Jia very sad. When she was about to wake up and cheer everyone up, she was shocked by what Tao Junle wrote on his palm.

The little boy who just patiently answered everyone's questions is actually a member of the Huazi team, and his purpose is to gain the trust of these people.

One reason is to find out the family background of these abducted people. If they are rich and powerful, they can unite and stage a show and then go directly to their homes to blackmail them.

If you were an ordinary person, you would just act according to the original plan.

Secondly, they are worried that if no one is watching these people, they will sneak away.

If we send someone to watch, they will become wary. It is better to just send someone of the same kind in there, which will make it easier to get information.

Tao Junle couldn't speak, so when the little boy went to report to others, they were not on guard against him, which allowed him to know the little boy's identity.

After learning that there were people arranged by Pahuazi in the place where they were being held, Tong Jia was no longer in a hurry to wake up and cheer everyone up.

Instead, he continued to pretend to be unconscious and thought about what to do next.

The people from the police station should have been protecting her behind her all the time. Now that person may have gone back to get reinforcements. It would take at least an hour to report the news and gather people.

Tong Jia planned to continue pretending to be unconscious and wait for the police to arrive.

As a result, she was about to write on Tao Junle's hand: [I want to sleep for a while], when she heard the door outside open.

The middle-aged woman who carried her here said excitedly, "Boss, you're back?

Well, I did..."

"Okay, I've eaten and am back.

Come in first, go back inside, I have something to tell you." The man walked into the inner room with a serious face.

When he was about to reach the door of the house, the man stopped and went to the woodshed where Tong Jia and the others were imprisoned.

Except for Tong Jia who was lying on the ground with her hands tightly clasped with Tao Junle's, everyone else was so frightened that they dared not breathe the moment they saw the man appear at the door.
