Du Laoer was discussing with his wife that he would make a delicious meal for Du Erniu when he returned home, and his words were full of joy.

"Although it's only two taels of silver, it's enough to feed Erniu for a long time."

"I'm telling you, all the delicious food belongs to my son, and you're not allowed to eat any of it."

The couple did not notice the ox cart and the Zhu family members on it.

Zhu covered Qian's mouth as she was about to shout and gave a wink to Mu Lao San and the others.

She whispered, "Go and capture Du Laoer and his wife. Don't let these two beasts get away."

Mu Laosan and his men, holding sticks, tiptoed towards Du Laoer and the second daughter-in-law of the Du family.

Several of them had ferocious expressions on their faces and hatred in their eyes. They thought it was the beasts from the Du family who kidnapped the baby.

Du Laoer had just patted the silver hidden in his chest, and when he looked up, he saw Mu Laosan and others coming over.

He was stunned for a second, then his face changed drastically. He left his wife and ran towards the path.

Damn, why are the Mu family here?

"Du Laoer, don't run, you bastard!" Mu Laosan gripped the wooden stick tightly and chased after him at the fastest speed in his life.

Mu Laoer followed closely.

The second daughter-in-law of the Du family was still standing there in a daze, as if she had not realized what had happened.

At this moment, she was pinned to the ground by Boss Mu.

The moment her face hit the ground, the pain forced her to wake up, and she struggled subconsciously, "Let me go! Let me go!"

Boss Mu has been doing farm work all year round and is very strong, so it is easy for him to hold down a woman.

"Tell me the truth, you bastard. Where is my baby?"

His face was terribly gloomy, and his teeth were clenched and chattering. "If even a hair of my baby falls off, I will kill you!"

The second daughter-in-law of the Du family panicked, but she refused to admit it. "What nonsense are you talking about? How would I know where Mu Baobao is?"

Could it be that the Mu family knew that they kidnapped Mu Baobao?

impossible!

It is absolutely impossible.

It has only been a short time, the Mu family couldn’t possibly know about this.

Seeing this, Boss Mu twisted her hands vigorously and said, "Old Lady Du has already confessed that you kidnapped my baby."

"I'm telling you, if you don't tell me where my baby is, I'll twist your hands off."

The second daughter-in-law of the Du family screamed in agony, "Help! Someone is killing someone!"

"Boss Mu, if you say anything more to this beast, just send him to the authorities." The village chief said coldly while smoking a pipe and standing aside.

"Wait until the county magistrate punishes her, and see if she dares not to confess."

People like the second daughter-in-law of the Du family are most afraid of officials, especially officials like the county magistrate.

Hearing this, she trembled like a leaf in the wind, "No, no, no!"

"Village chief, I haven't broken any law, you can't send me to the authorities!"

If she were sent to the government, her father would definitely divorce her, and her parents would not accept her.

Then, she will have no way out but death.

The village chief looked at her with eyes full of anger, "Is it illegal?"

"You, the Du family, kidnapped Mu Baobao, and you haven't broken the law yet?"

He was so angry that he kicked the second daughter-in-law of the Du family fiercely and said, "Either you confess the truth now, or I will hand you over to the county magistrate for punishment."

"Stealing a child is a felony."

The second daughter-in-law of the Du family was almost frightened to death and shouted hurriedly, "It's none of my fault. It was all done by my mother-in-law and the child's father. They were the ones who wanted to kidnap Mu Baobao."

"The child's father sold Mu Baobao to a human trafficker, but we saw her escape in the town, but we didn't catch her."

She and the child's father were surrounded by a group of cats and couldn't catch up with Mu Baobao at all.

Boss Mu heard the tough guy cry.

He pressed the Du family's second daughter-in-law's head and slammed it hard on the ground. "You are worse than animals. You kidnapped my baby and sold her to human traffickers so cruelly."

"If anything happens to my baby, I will kill you!"

The village chief quickly stopped him and advised, "Boss Mu, you can't kill the second daughter-in-law of the Du family. That would be such a relief for her."

"We have to let the county magistrate take care of her."

"I heard that stealing a child is punishable by exile at the very least, and by beheading at the worst."

When the second daughter-in-law of the Du family heard the word "beheading", she fainted from fright.

Before she fainted, her only thought was: If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have done this with the child's father, I should have let the child's father do it.

Boss Mu stopped, took the rope handed to him by Zhu, and tied up the second daughter-in-law of the Du family.

When Zhu saw Mu Lao Er and Mu Lao San returning with Du Lao Er, her heart dropped. "Let's go to the county government office first and ask the county magistrate to make the decision."

She just heard from the second daughter-in-law of the Du family that the baby had escaped from human traffickers and was temporarily missing.

Therefore, they had to ask the county magistrate for help in order to find the baby.

……

County government.

When the county magistrate learned what had happened from the Zhu family, he looked at Du Laoer and his wife with a very unfriendly look.

"You're worse than an animal! How dare you steal and sell children? This is a serious crime!"

He was so angry that he immediately ordered the captain to take people to Xingzi Village and arrest all the members of the Du family and put them in jail.

Interrogate him in the way that he should be interrogated.

In addition, he ordered painters to draw portraits of the wooden baby and post them everywhere in the town.

The Zhu family knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank the county magistrate, who was their family's great benefactor.

the other side.

When Mu Baobao woke up, it was already dark.

As night fell, there was no one in sight around the alley, only a few cats sitting or standing there, their glowing eyes a little creepy in the night.

Suddenly, a cat's meow was heard.

Mu Baobao rubbed his sleepy eyes, reached out and held the calico cat beside him in his arms, and rubbed the calico cat.

"Cat, I'm hungry."

She sighed like a little adult, endured the hunger, and ate a little bit of broken cakes, which didn't satisfy her hunger at all.

However, she didn't dare leave here easily, for fear of being discovered by the human traffickers or Du Laoer and his wife.

what should I do?

"Cuckoo..."

A cry of hunger came from the wooden baby's stomach.

She swallowed the little saliva she had, hugged the calico cat, frowned her dirty little face, and continued to endure it.

She couldn't eat the pastries in her bag anymore, as she had to save them for her little brother.

When it was daybreak, she confirmed that the little brother's fever had subsided, and she found a way to take him back to the village.

Just get home.

"grandmother……"

She rubbed her face against the calico cat.

She missed her family and Xiaobai.

Woo woo woo, when will she be able to come back home?

The calico cat raised its paw, patted Mu Baobao's head gently, and meowed a few times.

At this time, Mu Baobao heard the sound of something rubbing on the ground.

She looked up and her eyes widened in shock.
