Zhou Weiqi's friends worked in the underworld in Jin City. They had a lot of connections, so they were able to get information quickly.
"Speaking of which, Old Tie probably hates Sun Cuimei to death. When Sun Cuimei was with him, she never told him that her husband was a soldier. When he heard that Sun Cuimei liked Old Tie because he was rich, she told him that she divorced him. When Sergeant Ge got into an accident, Sun Cuimei told him that her husband was a soldier. Old Tie was scared to death, so he quickly ran away with his men. Two days before Sun Cuimei returned to the army and took Ge Wenwen away, Old Tie came in contact with a southern businessman whose nickname was Wandering Ghost. Although he was called a businessman, it was just a nice name. What he did was a shady business. "
"Could it be that Sun Cuimei sold Ge Wenwen, her biological daughter?" This was the first thought that came to Luo Ruoran's mind when she heard Zhou Weiqi talk about shady business.
On the other hand, Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao were relatively calm. They did not know how to react after what Sun Cuimei had done.
"That's not it." Zhou Weiqi shook his head. "Sun Cuimei and Old Tie were planning to rent Ge Wenwen to Wandering Ghost. Wandering Ghost has a lot of children under him and he's in the begging business. Most of the children were rented from poor villages. He pays the children's parents a lot of rent each year, and then he takes the children to the rich big cities to beg for money. When the rental period is up, he'll send the children back." Zhou Weiqi shrugged helplessly. "So, Sun Cuimei took Ge Wenwen away to rent her to Wandering Ghost to make money."
"She's really her biological mother!" Jiang Yao sneered. "Ge Wenwen is already six years old. How many years does she need to go to school?"
"Many people think that girls don't need to go to school. Rent for three to five years and earn a few hundred yuan first. The landlord will also take care of the child's basic necessities, housing, transportation, and medicine. When the child is eleven or twelve years old, she'll be sent back to her hometown to study for three to four years until she can read and do math. When she's fourteen or fifteen years old, she can work in the factory and continue to earn money. When she's seventeen or eighteen years old, she can get engaged and get married. Then, she'll earn a lot of money. "Zhou Weiqi heard this from his friends, who heard it from Wandering Ghost.
These words were the thoughts of many people. Not only were the girls like this, but there were also many boys who followed Wandering Ghost to beg on the streets and alleys.
In many poor places, there were many children and they could not afford to raise them. When the children were still very young, they could not help the family with the work, but they did not eat less than the adults. Therefore, for them, renting out their children would help the family to supplement the family's living expenses and reduce the burden.
As for the merchant called Wandering Ghost, he had earned quite a bit of money by relying on these children.
"But this Wandering Ghost left after renting two children in Jin City. Old Tie and Sun Cuimei's idea of renting Ge Wenwen out should be dashed. My friend asked someone to keep an eye on Old Tie's residence and the people who hang out with him. I think Old Tie will bring Sun Cuimei and Ge Wenwen back soon." Zhou Weiqi said this to comfort Lu Xingzhi. Ge Wenwen would be sent back to Sergeant Ge sooner or later.
