Nongmen counterattack: I take my family to a well-off life

Chapter 211 I don't want to go home

"Okay, if you go out early, you can go home early." After Zhou Yue finished speaking, she turned around and led them towards the passage. She didn't notice that the girl's eyes shrank for a moment.

Coming out of the tunnel, it was pitch dark outside. There were no lights in the yard. Zhou Yue led the children in the dark toward the gate according to her memory.

Opening the courtyard door, Zhou Yue stepped out first, looked around in the alley outside, and found no suspicious persons, then turned back: "Everyone, come out."

The children supported each other, and when they took the first step out of the door, several children cried, and other children couldn't help but shed tears when they heard the crying.

The fear during this period suddenly poured out, and everyone burst into tears.

Only a few unconscious children were still asleep, and even the crying did not wake them up.

After a while, Zhou Yue interrupted their crying, "Okay, don't cry yet. Do you all remember where your home is? Can you go back by yourself?"

A boy raised his hand, "I remember, my home is in Osmanthus Alley."

"I also remember that my home is on Ping'an Street." Another boy followed.

.........

The older boys all remember their home address.

There were only a few younger children who looked confused and seemed like they just didn’t remember.

Several girls lowered their heads and said nothing. Zhou Yue didn't know whether they remembered or not, so she asked: "Don't you remember where your home is?"

The youngest of these girls looks to be five or six years old. Logically speaking, she should remember her home address.

One of the youngest girls glanced at Zhou Yue, pursed her lips and was about to shed tears, "I... I wasn't kidnapped... My father sold me in exchange for a bag of rice. The person who bought me And he sold me here for two taels of silver."

The more the girl talked, the redder her eyes became, and big tears fell down, "I will be sold again when I go back."

Another girl also cried, "Me too. My parents said that I was a loser and could only waste food at home. There was not much food at home and I had to support my younger brother, so they threw me out. I was later taken away. People brought it here.”

"I don't want to go home. I don't have enough to eat at home, and I have to do a lot of work. My grandma calls me a bitch and beats me at every turn. I...I don't want to go home, wuwu..." the older girl There were tears in his eyes, and he was trembling when he thought about his previous life.

The more Zhou Yue listened, the more her brows tightened. It turned out that these girls had all been abandoned by their families.

She knew that preference for boys over girls was serious in ancient times, but she never thought it would be so serious.

The boys around listened blankly, as if they didn't expect that these girls didn't want to go home. Why did it sound like their parents were so terrible, but why weren't their own parents like this?
A boy about eight or nine years old said: "You are all just girls, useless. Isn't it normal to do some work?"

The boy had a matter-of-fact look on his face. Looking at the girls, he seemed to dislike them for making a fuss and not wanting to go home just because of such a trivial matter.

Two boys nodded in agreement. They felt that these girls thought too much. There are all parents in the world, how can they blame their parents?

The girls didn't reply, they just lowered their heads and cried silently.

The boys cannot empathize because they are all pampered by their families. Even if their families are poor, they are the ones they love the most and they do not understand the pain of the girls in front of them.Moreover, at home, they are also influenced by how adults treat girls, and naturally they inherit that attitude.

Zhou Yue glanced at the untouched boys, then at the girls who were bowing their heads in tears, and sighed.

Living in an era where sons are valued over daughters, daughters can be sold to get a bag of rice, daughters can be thrown away in order to raise a son, and daughters can be exploited as slaves since childhood. This era is really dark, especially for women.

And most of the girls who have been poisoned by the idea of ​​​​preferring boys over girls will treat the next generation according to this idea after they get married. As time goes by, the ideological imprisonment of girls becomes deeper and deeper.

Since time traveling, Zhou Yue, who has been doted on by her family, has experienced the sorrow of the times for the first time.

She felt a little blocked in her heart, looking at the girls with their heads lowered, wanting to change something, but not knowing how to do it.

The more I think about it, the bigger my head gets. Forget it, let’s stop thinking about it for now.

"Let's go, I'll take those of you who know the way home first." Zhou Yue said, leading the few boys who knew the way towards their home.

Several boys were sent away, and now there are only a few unknown ones, a few unconscious ones, and four girls left.

There was no other way, so Zhou Yue could only take them back to the Qin Mansion and ask people from the Qin Mansion to help send them to the government. Because of the prince's affairs, she had tried to have as little contact with King Jin's forces as possible.

When the boy guarding the door saw Zhou Yue coming back with a group of children, he was stunned for a moment. Is this young master going to buy a maid?

"Master Zhou, did you buy some servants?" the boy asked, why are there still people being supported?
"No, they are children who were trafficked by kidnappers. I happened to rescue them. Some of them have been sent home. I brought the rest back. I want to ask Mrs. Qin to send them to the Yamen and have them claimed and taken home."

The boy's eyes immediately became respectful. Mr. Zhou is not very old, but he can actually save so many children from the kidnappers. It's really amazing!

Entering the Qin Mansion, there are more than half the servants in the manor than before. They have all been sent out to find the young master. It is already so dark now that he has not returned yet.

"You haven't found the young master yet?" Zhou Yue asked.

The young man who followed had a grimace and said, "No, I have searched all over the city, but there is still no whereabouts of the young master."

"Madam." The boy suddenly saluted. Zhou Yue turned her head when she saw it, and Mrs. Qin was behind her.

Mrs. Qin looked anxious at this time, and the handkerchief in her hand was wrinkled. When she saw Zhou Yue, she only said a hasty hello, and then looked at the door.

Zhou Yue stopped, pointed at the children behind her and said, "Mrs. Qin, I rescued some abducted children outside. I sent back those who knew their families. There are still a few children who don't remember their families. Address, could you please send someone to the Yamen to see if the lost child can be found?"

"Abducted?" Mrs. Qin's attention was drawn back from the door, and she finally saw the situation in front of her clearly.

A dozen boys and girls stood behind Zhou Yue, their heads lowered timidly, and there were a few children being supported at the back.

"What happened to the ones being supported?" Mrs. Qin asked, are they dead?Could it be that he was beaten to death by the kidnapper while trying to escape?
"He was given sweat medicine, and he should be able to wake up after a nap. He must have just been abducted today." Zhou Yue speculated.
