Chapter 162 Shopping
The waiter took the things from Qin Xingfu's hand and took him upstairs to the room. The overall style was quite elegant, and there was also incense. Qin Xingfu didn't like it very much, so he sat down.
"We don't need incense in the room. I heard you guys are newly opened. Do you have any recommendations?"
The waiter gave her the menu.
"Sir, please take a look first. This is the sign of our hotel. It is called Down to Earth. The fragrance is very unique and unforgettable. Even gods would come down to earth to taste it when they smell it."
As the waiter spoke, he swiftly extinguished the incense burner.
"Mom, can I try this?"
Qin Chuan had heard from his classmates that he wanted to eat it.
"Okay, let's have one first. Shanshan, is there anything you want to eat here?"
Qin Xingfu thinks it’s okay to give the power of ordering food to the children.
"Mom, this braised pork, and this old duck soup."
Qin Chuan heard from his brother that he still wanted to eat vegetables.
"Brother, add another vegetable."
"Okay! Let's add this little green vegetable. Mom, what about you?"
"These are enough. If not, we'll talk later!"
She can't eat as much as she used to.
"Okay! Please wait a moment, sir."
The waiter put away the menu and brought a plate of pastries.
It has been a long time since I went shopping. Qin Xingfu felt a little tired after shopping for a while. The window faced the street and there were people performing upstairs. The two little ones looked at them curiously.
I saw a little girl standing on a thin rope and dancing.
"Brother, she is very suitable for martial arts training. She has a good balance."
Qin Chuan couldn't help but sigh that they might not be able to do what she did on the stakes.
"Yeah, it's not bad, but why is she wearing so little? That guy over there is wearing so much."
The children's discussion caught Qin Xingfu's attention. She also looked over and found that the family didn't look like a family at all. There were scars on the girl's skin that was inadvertently exposed.
When the waiter served the food, Qin Xingfu gave him the money.
"Go tell the patrolmen in this area today that I heard someone is kidnapping children here."
Although the waiter had no idea what was going on, he still took the money and asked for leave to report to the authorities. Not long after, the patrol officers arrived with their men. The family who were performing panicked and quickly packed up their things to flee. The soldiers drew out their knives and scared them so much that they immediately knelt down.
"Please spare my life, sir! I will never do it again! Please have mercy on me, sir!"
His face was pale, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knelt on the ground with trembling legs, kowtowed repeatedly and begged for mercy.
The patrol officers had him tied up.
"Watch carefully!"
He just said something and went upstairs.
"Your humble servant Shi Bi greets you, sir!"
Shi Bi was really nervous. Qin Xiang, why are you here today? And you met a human trafficker.
"No need to be polite. I'm just out for a walk today and to investigate carefully. If it's a misunderstanding, I'll let him go. If it's proven that they're not family, then I'll do what needs to be done."
"Here! Would you like to visit, sir?"
"No need, just handle it impartially!"
Then she left the restaurant with her two children.
Feeling a little sorry for the little girl, he said to her.
"Don't be afraid! If they treat you badly, or if you were kidnapped, you can tell us everything you know."
The little girl was beaten all year round and was a little afraid of strangers. She was eight years old and she vaguely remembered that her home was not like this.
“Sir! Please save me, I am not their child, but…but I don’t remember where my home is, wuwu…”
The oppressed couple never expected that someone who usually wouldn't even cry when being beaten would dare to complain like this.
"Sir, this is unfair! This child saw that you were well dressed and just didn't want to recognize us. Oh my God! Thanks to me for raising you with so much effort, this is how you repay us? You are so heartless!"
The woman began to howl.
"You are sneaky and cunning on weekdays, but today you want to send us to death! Sir, I am innocent!"
As she spoke, she glared at the little girl. The little girl was a little scared and tears welled up in her eyes.
"No, I'm not your child. You said it yourself last night. From childhood to adulthood, you didn't let me go to school and made me stay at home to take care of my younger brothers and sisters. I never had the things that my younger brothers and sisters had, and you often beat me."
As if to prove that she was not lying, the little girl lifted her arms, revealing a crisscross pattern of new and old scars on her thin arms.
The passers-by couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
"It's really a sin. Who would beat a child like this? I think it must be a human trafficker."
"Yes, who doesn't let their children go to school these days? You're performing here in the middle of winter. I was just wondering."
"That's right, girls can go to school too."
Once there is a first case, there will be a second one. Many people spoke up for Qin Xingfu, and she left with her child.
"Mom, did they really steal that little sister?"
"Maybe. Look at their family. The other two children are well fed and well dressed, but the little girl has nothing and her clothes are torn. If you want to mention it, let them investigate!"
I originally planned to go for a walk after dinner, but the two little ones have lost interest and are not in the mood.
Qin Xingfu also noticed it and was tired, so he suggested.
"I'm a little tired today, shall we go back?"
The children had no objection, so they had to go home.
"Mom, can we go see that sister tomorrow?"
Qin Shan was very conflicted. The person seemed to be the same age as him, but she seemed to be very miserable. He always remembered the look she gave him today and felt very heartbroken.
Qin Xingfu touched his head.
"Okay! I'll ask for the result tomorrow."
"Mom, will those bad guys be punished?"
Qin Chuan asked.
"Yes, the law will not let any bad guy go." Qin Xingfu touched Qin Chuan's head and comforted him.
"I hope that sister can return to her home as soon as possible." Shanshan said in a low voice.
Qin Xingfu looked at the two sensible children and felt very happy. She decided to pay more attention to social issues and do her best to help those in need.
After returning home, the two children were tired from playing. Qin Xingfu coaxed them to sleep and then went to the kitchen to make cakes.
"Sir, how about I come?"
Ding Zhao saw her shaking her arms vigorously several times. She used to do everything so easily, but now it seemed more difficult. He felt a little distressed.
"It's okay, I'll do it myself, you go ahead and do your thing, and bring me some more candy."
The kitchen is Ding Zhao and Wanda's territory, and Qin Xingfu only comes here on a whim.
Ding Zhao brought the sugar and considerately washed the mold and put it aside.
"Sir, if you need anything, please tell me."
After Ding Zhao finished speaking, he went to busy himself with cooking. He also knew that today was the child’s birthday, so he cooked a few more dishes. However, he felt a little regretful because the adults could not eat much food now, and he could handle it by himself.
When the children woke up, they saw the scene already set up, as well as cakes and gifts prepared by their family members.
