Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

The human traffickers were severely beaten by the angry crowd.

Then they tied him up and took him directly to the police station near the train station.

Everyone returned to the restaurant, still shaken by the experience.

Upon seeing his aunt carrying Shuo Shuo back, the eldest son, Bai Wenbin, knelt down in front of his parents with a thud.

Liu Fang was so angry that she slapped him hard on the back:

"What do you think about taking good care of your younger siblings?"

If it weren't for Liu Huiying, the three children would definitely have been abducted today.

Bai Wenbin did not defend himself.

He had indeed failed to keep an eye on his younger siblings and was only focused on playing by himself. He felt extremely guilty and was terrified.

Liu Fang was both angry and scared, and she pointed at Bai Wenxuan and cursed as well:

"Have you never eaten candy before? You're so old and you're already so greedy?"

Bai Wenxuan also knelt down beside his brother, his eyes swollen from crying.

"I was wrong, I'll never do it again, sob sob..."

Jiajia rushed into Liu Huiying's arms and hugged her mother tightly.

The children had just come from the countryside and were curious about everything in the city, but they didn't fully realize how bad the bad people were.

There were quite a few people outside, and Zhang Minmin felt a little reluctant to leave.

Bai Zhenzhu released Shuo Shuo and went over to help Bai Wenbin and Bai Wenxuan up.

Liu Fang's eyes were red:

"Don't worry about Pearl, let them learn their lesson by kneeling."

Bai Zhenzhu patted Bai Wenxuan's head:

“Sister-in-law, the children have surely learned their lesson. In the end, this is also our fault as adults; we didn’t properly emphasize the dangers of society to them.”

"Moreover, those human traffickers are organized and premeditated. These children are no match for them. It is said that some female college students were even directly abducted and sold into the mountains."

"We have many children in our family, so we need to be more careful in the future."

Everyone agreed with this.

Liu Fang was also heartbroken for the children. If these three children were lost, how could they, as mothers, survive?

Bai Zhenzhu pulled Bai Wenxuan along, and then pulled Shuo Shuo over as well:

"Wenxuan, Shuoshuo, bow to Aunt Liu. If it weren't for Aunt Liu today, you would have been kidnapped by human traffickers, you know?"

Bai Wenxuan cried and said:

"Auntie, I understand."

Shuo Shuo is also crying:

"Mom, I know I was wrong."

The two brothers bowed together to Liu Huiying:

"Thank you, Aunt Liu."

"Thank you, aunt."

Bai Zhenzhu said to Shuo Shuo:

“You should call her Aunt Liu just like Third Brother does. We are no longer part of the Pei family, and neither are Aunt Liu and Jiajia.”

Shuo Shuo nodded: "Aunt Liu."

Liu Huiying's eyes reddened:

"It's good that you're all alright. You must never go with strangers again."

The children said in unison:

"We remember."

Upon hearing the news, Bai Chengxiang rushed over.

Seeing that the children were all alright, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Chengxiang then said:

"I'll let the kids come to my place in the future. There are adults at home who can keep an eye on them."

The weather has been cold lately, so Xu Yin hasn't been going to the braised meat shop anymore.

Moreover, Bai Chengxiang was worried about her because of her large belly. With Xu Yin and Li Xiufen at home, everyone felt at ease.

White Pearl agreed.

Fortunately, Shuo Shuo was brave enough not to be frightened. Bai Zhenzhu originally planned to spend half a day with him.

When the boy saw that his mother wasn't so angry and that he was even thinking about watching TV, he called Jiajia and his brothers to go to his second uncle's house.

Bai Chenglei said to Bai Chengxiang:

"Third brother and Minmin are here. Second brother, you two come to the restaurant for dinner tonight."

Bai Chengxiang sighed.

The clothing store was crowded, so Old Man Bai went back to help out at the store.

Bai Jingsi said, "I'll go talk to the market management department. It's almost the end of the year, shouldn't they arrange for more people to patrol?"

Several other business owners who also ran businesses in the market and had children at home responded to this, including Zhang Hongying's husband, Miao Wei.

They pay management fees, cleaning fees, and other fees to the market every year. Shouldn't the relevant departments responsible for the market's safety take responsibility?

Several men walked away together.

Bai Zhenzhu and Zhang Minmin helped Liu Huiying up to the second floor.

Liu Huiying's legs were still weak and her hair was a mess.

Back in her room, Bai Zhenzhu lifted her clothes.

There were bruises all over his waist, and the flesh in several places was pinched raw.

"Those damned human traffickers!"

Zhang Minmin was furious.

Liu Huiying smiled:

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. My legs are just a little weak right now, but I'll be fine after resting for a while."

Bai Zhenzhu went to get iodine to disinfect the wound, sprinkled some anti-inflammatory powder on it, and gently wrapped it with a bandage to prevent the clothes from scratching it and affecting the wound's healing.

"Huiying, you saved Shuoshuo and me today. I am deeply grateful."

Liu Huiying smiled and said:

"What do you mean by gratitude? You are also a great benefactor to me and Jiajia."

Zhang Minmin went to get a comb and came over to comb Liu Huiying's hair.

Then another clump of hair came off when I combed it.

Seeing this, Zhang Minmin's heart tightened. She could only imagine how much suffering Liu Huiying had endured to save Shuo Shuo before she and Bai Jingsi arrived.

With reddened eyes, Bai Zhenzhu said:

"You should rest at home and don't need to go to the store."

Liu Huiying was also anxious:

"That won't do. I'm not injured. I'll be fine after a while."

Seeing her insistence, Bai Zhenzhu had no choice but to give in.

After dinner, Bai Zhenzhu, Zhang Minmin, and Liu Huiying went to the clothing store together, and also brought food for Li Yueshu and Old Man Bai.

Everyone Bai Zhenzhu met along the way was asking about human traffickers.

Bai Zhenzhu reminded everyone to keep a close eye on their children, as the train station was very chaotic.

There were two groups of customers in the clothing store, and Li Yueshu was busy.

Fortunately, Old Man Bai had returned earlier, otherwise she really wouldn't have been able to handle it alone.

"Pearl, was Shuo Shuo scared?"

"It's alright, I went to my second brother's house with my brothers."

Bai Zhenzhu's heart was still pounding as she recalled what Liu Huiying had just told her.

"Fortunately, Shuo Shuo was brave. He scratched the faces of the three human traffickers until they were mangled. If he hadn't known how to resist, he might have been taken away by the traffickers."

Li Yueshu was also startled and broke out in a cold sweat:

"It's good that you're alright, that was really scary."

News of the near-loss of a child at the train station spread quickly, and Wen Fengqin made a special trip to inquire about the situation.

Li Yuerong also came, and she stayed to help out at the clothing store.

It's past lunchtime now, so the hot pot restaurant isn't busy.

Xia He had been at the department store lately, and somehow the news reached her ears, so she rode her motorcycle over to see her godson.

"Where's my godson? Is he alright? Was he terrified?"

Only now did Bai Zhenzhu calm down:

"It's okay, I'm at my second brother's house."

Xia He breathed a sigh of relief:

"It's good that you're alright. My sister came to the train station to pick up some goods, and my mom told me that Shuo Shuo was almost kidnapped. It scared me to death."

Bai Zhenzhu said guiltily:

"It's because I didn't think it through enough."

Xia He rolled her eyes at her:

"You don't have three heads and six arms, and in this kind of situation, the human traffickers are at fault, so stop blaming yourself."

Since Shuo Shuo had never experienced human trafficking in her previous life, Bai Zhenzhu had never thought of these things.

If Shuo Shuo were lost... she really didn't dare to think about it.

The owner of the shop next door chimed in:

“We’ve never had any human traffickers in our market, just lots of thieves who steal money and goods, but I’ve never heard of anyone losing a child.”

“Those damned bastards should be shot if they are caught.”

Xia He sighed:

"There are too many people and too many eyes in the market. Now that your elders are here, someone can help keep an eye on things."

Xia He was busy too, so she only chatted for a few minutes before going back.

Bai Jingsi returned a little while later.

The market management department said they would increase security guards to patrol day and night.
