Chapter 606 It’s not a trivial matter
obviously.

Shi An was not at the neighbor's house.

As the year draws to a close, there is a high turnover of people and some things are hard to guard against.

Losing a child is no small matter.

Especially a while ago, there was news from other places that a child from a certain family was abducted by human traffickers.

There were frequent footsteps beside the house, and all the neighbors were mobilized.

When Lu Miao heard the noise in the house, his scalp went numb, the hair on his arms stood up under his thin coat, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

It's not enough to just ask the neighbors for help...

“We need to call the police.”

Lu Miao stood on the steps at the entrance of the courtyard, holding the door.

"What? Call the police?"

Everyone looked at her, then at each other, all a little hesitant.

"It's almost the New Year. Is it okay to contact the police at this time?"

"Children's matters are not trivial!"

There was no doubt about Lu Miao's attitude, but when she faced the crowd, she softened her tone and asked:
"I'm heavy and it's not convenient for me to move. Can any of you brothers and sisters-in-law help me run the trip if you have time? Please!"

Everyone saw that she had a pointed belly, was wearing thin clothes and had a pale face.

She was pregnant, but she looked anxious, irritated and sick.

Afraid that she would fall again if she walked outside, a neighbor stepped forward and said:
"I go!"

Lu Miao immediately gave him a grateful look.

The alley was noisy. Widow Liao curled her lips and stood at the end of the alley eating melon seeds, thinking:
It’s not my own child, so just let it be.

One less mouth to feed and less pressure at home.

Seeing Lu Miao getting extremely anxious, Widow Liao snorted, feeling secretly pleased.

Just then Tang Mei came back from the compound next door after inquiring about the news.

Widow Liao was blocking the way, so Tang Mei pushed her aside and ran back.

Before the people rushing to report the crime ran out of the alley, Tang Mei, panting, shouted from a distance:

"Qiuhong's mother said that the child left with Meizi. She said that she went to the railway track with a basket. She must have gone to pick up coal cores!"

Lu Miao felt dizzy:
"Coal core, why are you picking up coal cores at this time?!"

Mei Zi is in a difficult situation, so it's fine for her to go, but Shi An is such a young man, what is there for him to do?
There was no obstacle on the side of the train track. Such a young child didn't know anything, it was so dangerous!
Lu Miao looked like she was about to fall, and a young sister-in-law came up and helped her back into the house with Tang Mei:

"Don't worry, you're pregnant. Go inside and wait. Everyone, look over there. We'll definitely find the baby for you!"

Lu Miao's smile was forced, and his hands were shaking from nervousness:
"Thank you for your help, sister-in-law. I will come to thank you all when my husband comes back later."

"Okay, we are all neighbors."

"Her sister-in-law, please run a trip for us..."

Tang Mei followed the young daughter-in-law out.

"Where are you talking?"

Several young men in the alley who were quick on their feet ran towards the railway tracks.

After walking along the road for a while, I saw two figures, one tall and one short, swaying:

"Meizi, why did you bring him here? You didn't even tell his mother! You scared his mother so much that she wanted to call the police when she couldn't find him!"

"Ah? I, I didn't..."

Mei Zi was stunned for a moment, and then she became a little flustered when she realized what was happening.

He didn't have time to pick up the coal cores and hurriedly walked back with Shi An, whose face was as dirty as a little black cat.

Shi An opened his mouth, his eyes flickered, and he was a little nervous.

Let’s talk about Tang Mei.

After entrusting the people in the alley to find the child, Tang Mei went to the back of the alley and called Lu Yuanzheng to come back.

The call didn't go through and Tang Mei couldn't leave her home, so she had to ask a neighbor to help her run the trip.

When Lu Yuanzheng rushed back, the neighbor had just brought Shi An back. Lu Miao got angry for the first time, and with a pale face and a headache, he stripped Shi An's pants and beat him on the kang.

"Who told you to run around? Will you dare to do it again next time?"

Shi An tried to hold back at first, but later he couldn't hold it back anymore. Tears rolled down his eyes, his little face turned red, and he cried loudly.

The two little kids nearby didn’t know what was going on. When they saw their brother getting beaten, they started crying.

Immediately, they pouted and started crying too.

The "woooooo" sounds came one after another, and the roof of the courtyard was almost blown off.

Mei Zi stood in the yard biting her lips and pinching her fingers, not knowing what to do.

Tang Mei breathed her last and said, "You go back first."

"Auntie...I'm sorry, I didn't think this through."

Tang Mei patted her and said nothing.

Mei Zi didn't know what to do, but she couldn't help much if she stayed, so she could only carry the basket and go back.

After understanding the situation, Lu Yuanzheng pushed the door open, entered the room, held Lu Miao's wrist and took her to sit aside.

Lu Yuanzheng pulled up Shi An's pants.

Taking care of Lu Miao's physical condition and fearing that Lu Miao would get angry again, Lu Yuanzheng directly took Shi An away.

Tang Mei cooked some ginger sugar water and brought it into the room:
"You are too heavy to move, so you need to be careful. Drink this quickly. It's so windy outside, and you don't even need to put on some clothes before going out..."

Lu Miao took the steaming enamel pot and felt a little uncomfortable with his eyes swelling.

How could she care about that at that time?

Fortunately, this matter turned out to be a misunderstanding in the end. What if there really was a beggar?
She herself couldn't deliver the task.

Not to mention how to explain it when the child’s father comes back.

Shi An is also...

It's been so long, and you still treat yourself as an outsider.

Lu Miao knew the reason why he ran to pick up coal cores with Mei Zi without having to think too much.

He is too sensible.

Being too sensible will lead to a lack of a sense of belonging, and will also make them feel distant from him.

This incident really scared Lu Miao a lot.

Lu Miao blew the hot mist from the enamel pot for a while, and after a while, he almost calmed down.

She had done that just now out of worry and anger, but now that the emotions had passed, she felt that it was wrong.

The boy was afraid of causing trouble for them, so he tried hard to do something to supplement the family income. His intention was essentially good.

It’s just that I’m small and can’t think so comprehensively.

After taking two sips of ginger and brown sugar, Lu Miao put down the enamel pot and said:
"Aunt, please call Shi An over here. I want to talk to him."

Outside, Shi An had stopped crying, and she could vaguely hear Lu Yuanzheng whispering something.

Tang Mei listened and said:

"Your father is teaching you, wait a minute."

Lu Miao nodded and started drinking from the enamel mug again.

I caught a cold when I went out just now. Even though I was sitting on the warm kang, my back still felt a little cold.

This is not a good sign.

Lu Miao drank ginger and brown sugar water voraciously, one jar after another, until his body was warm and he broke out in a sweat.

At that time, Shi An had finished communicating with his grandfather, and with a red nose, he carefully pushed the door open and walked in.

"Auntie."

He had stopped crying, but after he called out "Auntie", his mouth became puffy again and he trembled with frustration.

Lu Miao softened his heart, waved his hand and called the person over, then bowed and held him in his lap:

"Do you know you were wrong?"
