Zhang Xiaobao really did fall asleep. Wang Juan, on the other hand, was not in the mood. Thinking of her home, thinking of her parents and relatives, she suddenly felt a little lonely. It was as if the whole world had left her and she was the only one left. Only when she realized that there was someone beside her did she feel a little bit of warmth.
'If I had another chance to choose, would I choose not to follow him in exchange for the hostage? No, I have to be responsible for my honor. Even if I had to choose again, I would still have no regrets. Fortunately, I am not alone here. I have a swindler with me. Damn swindler, he didn't even take out a single cent. '
Wang Juan looked at a small gray hanging on the shed, gently blown by the breeze, and thought slowly.
"Are you still thinking about the money?" At this time, Zhang Xiaobao, who had fallen asleep, suddenly turned his head and asked softly.
"How did you know?" Wang Juan was surprised.
"I have seen many people like you. If you don't complete the mission, you will always feel that something is missing. Don't worry, when I returned to China, I thought about it. I brought something with me. There is an account number in it with ten million US dollars, which is for your funds. Your director is a good person. The only thing he lacks is money and equipment. How can he solve the case with this kind of equipment?
Don't worry about the explosion breaking the thing. I think even if it is blown to pieces, the relevant departments will extract the things inside. As for the rest of the money, it will be invested in the motherland in the future. Don't think about it. It's useless. Since we are alive again, let us live a better life. "
Zhang Xiaobao continued to persuade and explained the money. Wang Juan was naturally not stupid enough to not understand such words. She exposed her small arms outside the blanket, nodded slowly, and asked, "Don't you have any regrets?"
"Yes, I didn't eat that bowl of cold jelly." Zhang Xiaobao cracked a smile.
"Don't talk to me about this. You know what I am asking." Wang Juan made a frosty face, but her child's face was so cute no matter what expression she made.
Zhang Xiaobao smiled again. "Don't treat me like you are interrogating a prisoner. Here, I am a good citizen. If someone asked me like this in the past, I would never give them a good face. Today, I will make an exception and never mention it again.
In fact, my biggest regret was that I never got to meet my parents. After the flood, I left the sad place and stole things along the way. I went to the garbage dump to find food that other people didn't want to eat or throw away. Usually, I would come out at night and find a corner to hide in during the day. It wasn't that the night was good, but I was afraid of the day.
In the past, there was still Grandpa Dean, but after Grandpa Dean died, I was all alone. Only then did I realize that I was an orphan. During the day, I would always see some adults holding hands with children to play or eat. The only thing I felt was jealousy. When those children around my age were at odds with their parents, I wanted to beat them up. If it were me, I would definitely be obedient.
But I knew that if I really rushed to beat them, their parents would beat me to death. I didn't have parents to protect me. Later, I saw them going to school. I wanted to go, too. You should know that it was impossible, unless I went back to that cold orphanage again. "
"Then?" Wang Juan didn't know that the most vulnerable side of Zhang Xiaobao's heart was this. She couldn't help but feel a little sad and asked.
"Then? Then you all know that in order to learn things, I went to prison, stole, trained, and went back to prison again. Here, I want to thank our police system. As long as you are willing to spend money, your ID card and file can be made real. So I can buy a gun without a criminal record. Unfortunately, I only used it once. I robbed an official's money.
It's funny that the official had just gotten 300,000 yuan from someone else. Before he could warm it up, I robbed it. Your file shouldn't be there. I already knew that. He didn't dare to call the police. Later, I went to his house to steal and stole a lot of money. He still didn't call the police, because I saw from his notebook that he had killed someone. When we came, he should have been at the main hall.
If he had been kidnapped before we came, I think you wouldn't have been implicated. I would have provoked the gangster to let go. "
"You are breaking the law. Your idea is wrong." Wang Juan heard that Zhang Xiaobao had such a criminal tendency and immediately corrected him.
"Forget it. Breaking the law? Are you saying that against your conscience? We're not children anymore. Don't you know what the world is like? Did you become stupid when you studied commanding? "Zhang Xiaobao looked at Wang Juan with a gaze that made her very uncomfortable.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. I want to know why you know so much about me." Wang Juan didn't refute and only asked the question in her heart.
"You came to arrest me, so of course I have to know more. This has nothing to do with me. If you want to ask, ask your own people. Flies don't bite eggs."
"Okay, let's not talk about this. I found that you have a radical attitude against our country's society." Wang Juan felt that she couldn't gain the upper hand on this issue. She wanted to change the topic, but Zhang Xiaobao didn't agree and continued.
"I never resisted, I only complained. I never hated. Even when I investigated and found out that my biological parents were forced to work in a coal mine and that the compensation money was embezzled because I was just a baby, I never hated because I had a grandpa who once held my hand and ate cold jelly. He even left the hope of survival to me. From then on, I knew that this world was not only filled with darkness and hatred, but also warmth and love."
"You, what kind of person are you?" Wang Juan couldn't give Zhang Xiaobao a reasonable position at this time.
"Like you, I have the persistence in my heart and am full of contradictions. This is my dream and life. Let's not talk about it. I heard footsteps outside. I hope it's my family." As Zhang Xiaobao spoke, he suddenly turned to look at the door and the girl who was still dozing off.
"Why didn't I hear it?" Wang Juan was even more confused.
"That's why you can't catch me." Zhang Xiaobao replied, but his eyes didn't blink as he stared at the door.
"Cherries, you're slacking off again. I think you're too naughty." As Wang Juan heard the footsteps, there was a scolding voice.
"No, no, madam, I'm not slacking off. The young master and the young lady are sleeping." The girl stood up in fear and lowered her head to defend herself.
At this time, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw a girl in her twenties wearing a pink and green dress standing at the door at the same time. Maybe this girl really didn't want to punish the girl, or maybe she saw the two children looking at her with wide eyes. She changed her expression and walked quickly to the bed with a smile. She looked at Wang Juan and Zhang Xiaobao lovingly. That smile was not fake at all.
"Mother?" Zhang Xiaobao was the first to react and asked tentatively.
This was amazing. The girl picked up Zhang Xiaobao and excitedly asked the girl behind her, "My baby boy can say 'mother' now. Cherries, did you hear that?"
"I heard, I heard. Congratulations madam, the young master can say 'mother' now." Cherries quickly echoed. Now she didn't have to worry about being punished. With the young master calling her 'mother', she could be exempted from the death penalty, let alone dozing off.
"Mother!" When Zhang Xiaobao saw that he really met his biological mother, he excitedly used his chubby little hands to touch the girl's face and kissed her. At the same time, he called her 'mother' again.
"Ah! Xiao Bao, it's mother. My Xiao Bao is really sensible. Cherries, go to the accountant's room to receive your reward. " Seeing her son like this, the girl's anger disappeared. In order to make others happy with her, Cherries, who was reprimanded just now, could now receive her reward.
As she spoke, she took out a string of things from her sleeve. She tore a small piece of wood from it and threw it to Cherries. Cherries hurriedly caught it. When she saw the wood piece, she was even more happy. This wood piece could be exchanged for a piece of pork. It was enough for her family to eat for several days. She carefully put it in her arms and didn't leave. Instead, she stayed by the side and waited for other instructions.
"Mother!" Zhang Xiaobao kissed the girl again. He wanted to say more to make his mother happy, but when he remembered his age, he could only call her 'mother' again.
Seeing such a scene, Wang Juan didn't know why, but her big eyes under her long eyelashes were filled with tears. She didn't know if it was because she pitied Zhang Xiaobao's experience in his previous life, or because she was moved. She couldn't help but shout, "Mother-in-law."
After shouting these two voices, which were a little out of shape because of leaking teeth, Wang Juan realized that she was affected. Her mind was unguarded at this moment.
When Zhang Xiaobao saw that Wang Juan was so cooperative, he wanted to continue shouting 'wife' to make his mother happy. But when he saw Wang Juan's obviously a little regretful expression, he could only shut his mouth. He was afraid that after shouting, Wang Juan would reply to him with 'scram'. That would be troublesome.
At this time, the girl didn't care about the change in attitude between the two children. Her son could call her mother, and her future daughter-in-law could also call her mother-in-law. The two children, who didn't know how to speak before, became so sensible in the blink of an eye. This made her so excited that she didn't know what to do. She casually took out a small piece of wood with the word 'sheep' written on it and turned around and threw it to Cherries.
"Take this and exchange it for a sheep's hoof. Go to the account room and get it yourself. What did you hear just now?"
"In reply to Madam, I heard. Congratulations Madam, congratulations Madam. The young master can call his mother, and the young lady of the Wang family can call her mother-in-law. With Madam's arrival, the two children have become smarter." Cherries knew that she was specifically to serve the two children. The more the children made the adults happy, the more rewards she would get. She didn't expect that the two children, who didn't know how to speak before, would suddenly become sensible at the same time. She trembled as she took the wood piece, thinking that she could use this sheep's hoof to exchange for some cloth to make new clothes for her father, mother, and younger brother.
"Come, Mother will take you out to play. Let them see my Bao Lang and Cuckoo. Which family's children are not as good as mine? Today, that group of naughty children also sent some toads. Mother has already asked people to boil the contents of the toads into the porridge for you two to have a good taste. Mother has rewarded each of you with 20 eggs."
The girl held Zhang Xiaobao in one hand and picked up Wang Juan in the other. She laughed and talked as she walked outside.
Seeing his mother in this life reward the servant girl twice in a row and use a large amount of eggs as a reward, Zhang Xiaobao finally realized the importance of children in his mother's heart. He tightly pressed his head into his mother's arms, forgetting his mental age. He reached out his small hand to touch Wang Juan's delicate nose. He didn't feel any pain when bitten. Those small teeth had no strength at all.
