Chapter 485: Chapter 486: Can Dabai Find It
Helian Qiao, who couldn’t wait any longer, clenched her little fists and began marching forward with the intention of kicking the door, but the quick Chen Jianjun stopped her.
"Let your father do it."
Worried that little Guibao might hurt her foot, he raised his leg and kicked open the door himself.
"Bang!"
The door hit the wall, making a loud noise.
Li Chunhua was startled and tried to run, but she was heavily tackled by Helian Qiao, who came in like a small cannonball, and fell backward onto the floor.
Then, Helian Qiao straddled her and hit her, screaming, "How dare you sell my third sister! I’ll kill you, you wicked woman!!"
Li Chunhua cried out, "Ah! Save me, child’s father! Save me!"
When Chen Jianye subconsciously tried to intervene, the mention of Sanni made him shrink back.
No one else interfered, feeling that Li Chunhua deserved a beating for pulling such a despicable trick.
Only after quite a while, Ma Xiulian came forward to lift up Guibao, worried that her baby might hurt her tender hands on Chunhua’s rough skin.
Then, sternly, she asked, "Speak up! Who did you sell Sanni to and where?!"
If they knew where, they might still be able to bring her back.
The concern was that she had been sold randomly to untrustworthy human traffickers, and they might have already disappeared by now!
"I sold her to the folks in the mountain hollow to be a child bride, but I’m not sure specifically which family, my mother was the intermediary," Li Chunhua, covering her face, murmured, not daring to mention anything about a ghost marriage.
Ma Xiulian snapped, "Bullshit! You sold Sanni for a ghost marriage, didn’t you?!"
The mention of a ghost marriage drew a collective gasp from the Chen family.
A ghost marriage?! A living person married to a deceased one, that’s bad luck!
Even during hard times, people would resort to such measures only in desperation.
Chen Jianye felt a mix of anger and embarrassment.
No wonder Li Chunhua’s mother was in such high spirits during her recent visits, and didn’t even ask for help; her focus must have been on this all along.
Those living in the mountain hollow had even harsher lives than theirs, no one from the foot of the mountain would willingly marry their daughters into the hovel!
Chen Jianye was outraged, he gave Li Chunhua, who had just managed to sit up, another kick, knocking her down to the ground.
"Ouch!" Li Chunhua let out a pitiful cry as she fell to the floor.
Seeing that even her child’s father had attacked her, she felt shocked, scared, and a fair bit wronged. She considered her actions were all for her son’s sake!
The Chen family knew her reasons and also knew that the mountain hollow was hard to find because of its secluded location, which left them quite anxious.
"What can we do now? The hollow is deep within the mountains. Outsiders don’t know the way, it’s impossible to find! It’s also mid-winter, there are dangerous wild animals in the forest, always looking for meat," Zhou Zhaodi voiced out his concerns.
These words made the others look even more worried.
There had been more than one report about tigers eating people from the mountain hollow.
"Dabai can find her!" Helian Qiao raised her head, assuring them confidently.
Upon saying this, she turned to run off and fetch Dabai. She was not afraid of any creature!
If they encountered one, they could just catch it and stew it!
However, Chen Jianjun stopped her again, "It’ll be quicker if daddy goes."
A wolf’s nose is even more sensitive than that of a dog.
And with Dabai around, other wild animals wouldn’t dare to approach!
Chen Dazhu spoke in a deep voice, "Older brother, go and borrow the hunting rifle from the old village chief."
Clearly, he was planning on going into the mountains to look for the child.
After all, she was his granddaughter!
