Chapter 178 It feels like being abandoned by the whole world

Although working women have it just as hard, or even harder than those who don't work.

However, it must be admitted that having a job gives one the ability to make a living and the right to control one's own destiny.

Sister Tong said, "It's true that everyone should have a skill. You never know when you might need it. By the way, Lao Qiao, I have an idea. Ask Qi Shuang if she wants to rent a house with Fan Xiaoyu and split the rent in half. That way, there won't be any pressure."

Sister Qiao immediately slammed her hand on the table: "Old Tong, your idea is great! I'll ask Qi Shuang for her opinion tonight."

With a few words from each other, they arranged Fan Xiaoyu's life for the near future.

Therefore, any problem reported to the subdistrict office will be resolved if possible, and if not, it will be reported to higher-level leaders.

Lu Qiaoge looked at these people with a smile. If she were Fan Xiaoyu, she would definitely feel warm inside.

Just then, the phone on the desk rang.

Sister Qiao answered the phone. The other party had a loud voice: "Old Qiao, Liu Yu's sister has been found and is now at Liu Yu's house, but the situation is a bit special. Can you bring some people over?"

Lu Qiaoge was surprised to receive a letter from Liu Yu's sister.

Many things outsiders don't know, but Lu Qiaoge does know that Liu Yu's former stepmother, Li Ying, who killed her ex-husband, had already been secretly dealt with.

Since she was involved with the research institute's blueprints and Elder Gu, it was handled internally.

Liu Yu's father was sentenced to twenty years in prison, but the Liu family's house was not reclaimed, despite the fact that many people coveted it.

Liu Yu's mother, Chai Xiaoyan, used to work in the factory's safety supervision department. She always did a very good job. Both of her parents were researchers. Later, both of them died in the line of duty, and their family members rarely kept in touch.

Chai Xiaoyan is a descendant of a martyr, and the factory took good care of her. The house was allocated to her in her name.

But when she died unexpectedly, her children were all young, so naturally no one was there to take over her business.

Liu Yu has now entered the factory and taken over Chai Xiaoyan's job as an apprentice, but the formalities have not been completed. Liu Yu said she would wait for her sister Liu Xia, who was sold, to come back and give her the job. Since that's the case, the factory did not force her. According to age, Liu Xia is more suitable to take over than Liu Yu.

These thoughts flashed through Lu Qiaoge's mind. Sister Qiao slung her bag over her shoulder and put on her straw hat. Before Sister Qiao could say anything, Lu Qiaoge had already stood up and was ready to follow her.

When they passed the police station, Sister Qiao called out to Shao Le.

Old Hou from the security department didn't explain the specifics over the phone. It wasn't until they arrived that they learned Liu Xia had brought her entire family, or rather, the buyer's family.

Several comrades stood outside the door, almost speechless.

Inside the house was a travel-worn couple, their skin dark and they looked quite old.

That teenage girl must be Liu Xia; she looks a lot like Liu Yu.

She looks like someone who does farm work all year round; she's only a teenager, but her hands are incredibly rough.

She was holding the hand of a boy who looked eleven or twelve years old.

There were two little girls, about seven or eight years old, standing nearby, staring wide-eyed at the unfamiliar place and the unfamiliar people.

Liu Yu was crying uncontrollably, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

Lu Qiaoge's heart sank.

Liu Xia is sixteen years old this year...

Ah, it can't be what she thinks!
Of course, it wasn't just her who thought this; Sister Qiao and Shao Le also widened their eyes in an instant. Old Hou saw Sister Qiao and whispered, "That little girl is Liu Xia. This couple bought her, telling us they'd raise her as their daughter. Actually, she's the wife of that little boy named Zhu Baozhu. Of course, they're not married yet; they'll wait until Zhu Baozhu grows up. Just now, Liu Yu wouldn't let Zhu Baozhu hold his sister's hand and even pushed the boy. Good heavens, Liu Xia went up and pushed her brother, saying he's her little husband and why is he bullying him…"

Then Old Hou added, "This child has forgotten things from when she was little. It took us a lot of effort to find someone to confirm it. Liu Yu has a good memory. When we came back, he recognized Liu Xia at a glance. According to the kidnapper, when Liu Xia was little, she tried to run home halfway and he hit her on the back of the head with a stick, which made her seem a bit... simple-minded..."

You can tell he doesn't seem very smart.

Sister Qiao cursed in a low voice, "Damn Li Ying, damn human traffickers, they should all be torn to pieces!"

Lu Qiaoge thought so too.

A perfectly good family was torn apart.

Liu Yu squatted on the ground and cried very sadly.

Everyone was having a bit of a headache.

Clearly, the couple was trying to cling to Liu Xia. What kind of place is the Northwest?
In many places, the sand is so thick that crops cannot be grown, and many families are so poor that they don't even have pants to wear. This is not an exaggeration.

Judging from their clothes, you could tell they were poor. Liu Xia grew up in his family and had been brainwashed for years, so her thinking was naturally different from others.

Sister Qiao said to the couple, "Do you know this is illegal?"

Wang Cuilan was clearly a little scared, but when she thought about the good life her son would have, she immediately said confidently, "I didn't buy her, I saved her. If you don't believe me, go and ask around in our village. She was dumped at my doorstep. I had just given birth to my son. What would I need a girl for?"

Old Hou pulled Sister Qiao aside and said, "The problem is that this is a military factory. You have no relation to Chai Xiaoyan, so you definitely can't stay here. The city won't allow you to stay either. You have to go back to your hometown."

They originally intended to take Liu Xia away directly, but Liu Xia insisted on bringing her whole family along.

It's no doubt that he was instigated by Wang Cuilan and Zhu Dashan.

They went to great lengths and wasted a lot of time searching for the person; they couldn't afford to return empty-handed.

Besides, that child suffered like a beast of burden in that family.

Old Hou and Chai Xiaoyan used to work in the same unit. It was impossible for him to abandon his old friend's daughter in the Northwest after seeing her. After consulting with his superiors, he had no choice but to bring the whole family back first.

Lu Qiaoge pulled Sister Qiao out and whispered to her, "Arrange for them to go to the guesthouse first, that's how you treat guests. Then we'll work together on the case."

Sister Qiao was taken aback, and lowered her voice as well: "What do you mean by a tripartite joint investigation?"

Lu Qiaoge: "Our factory's women's federation, the city's women's federation, and the local women's federation in the Northwest are working together. The villagers' testimonies are useless, they are all in cahoots, so we don't need the locals to testify. We need the local women's federation to come forward and first confirm Liu Xia's identity, whether her marriage to Zhu Baozhu is legally valid, and what her status is on the Zhu family's household registration. Once we have confirmed that, we will act in accordance with the law."

Sister Qiao understood immediately.

The marriage between Liu Xia and Zhu Baozhu is definitely invalid.

Then the remaining issue is adoption.

This is also easy to resolve.

An illegal adoption relationship can be terminated.

Although there is no explicit legal provision, currently, as long as a child is found to have their biological parents, their relationship with those parents is automatically dissolved and restored...

The chapters were messed up just now, but thankfully they've been fixed.
