Chapter 593: Chapter 597 Suspicious Person_1
"You should rest too, don’t find the child only to collapse from exhaustion yourself,"
Hu’s Clan mustered a bitter smile, "Even if it costs my life, I’m willing."
"I’ll go with you, if there’s danger I can watch your back," Huang Zhong stood up.
With Huang Zhong taking the lead, several other men expressed their willingness to help.
The night was too long, too much could happen; the saying goes, you cannot wait when saving lives.
Everyone was making preparations to take action when suddenly a sound of something heavy falling to the ground was heard.
It was Hu’s Clan who had fainted; that she had managed to hold on until now was already admirable.
The women closest to her supported her body and pinched her philtrum.
Only after a good while did Hu’s Clan slowly regain consciousness, seemingly aged a decade in that moment.
Zhou Jiacheng slapped his head, "I just remembered, today I saw Big Brother Tan talking with Er Ya and Da Ya, and in the afternoon he even bought alcohol and food. Something doesn’t feel right about this."
He was the eldest son of the Zhou Family and lived next door to the Tan Family, so he naturally paid more attention to Tan Zhengyuan.
It was common knowledge that Tan Zhengyuan had been living off his elderly parents recently, how could he possibly afford alcohol and food?
"Could it be that he sold Da Ya and Er Ya?"
"It’s always been said by the Tan family matriarch that selling the girls is like selling poor goods, it wouldn’t be surprising if Tan Zhengyuan actually took her words to heart."
Qiao Duo’er suddenly remembered that for a while Xiao Lingchuan often visited the Tan Family, and Xiao Lingchuan also dealt in the business of human trafficking!
This must definitely be their doing!
And Hu’s Clan was the person in the world who understood Tan Zhengyuan the best; although Tan Zhengyuan was lazy, he had a cruel heart.
In the past, whenever there were delicacies at home, he would monopolize them, leaving even the youngest Er Ya without a share.
So selling his daughters was not a surprising act for him.
Hu’s Clan clenched her fists tightly and immediately rushed towards the Tan Family’s house like a madwoman.
Fearing that Hu’s Clan might be disadvantaged, the others followed her.
The gate of the Tan Family was tightly shut. Hu’s Clan banged on the door so fiercely that it shook violently and seemed like it could collapse at any moment.
"Who’s there to collect a debt? Knocking so frantically! It’s so annoying, are you trying to freeze me to death on purpose? No wonder the eldest looks down on you and divorced you!"
Wang Clan said disdainfully, her face full of disgust.
If it weren’t for the unbearable commotion outside, she wouldn’t have gotten out of bed to open the door.
"Da Ya and Er Ya are your granddaughters after all. We outsiders have been so busy that we haven’t even had dinner, and yet you can still sleep!"
"Such a heartless bunch, deserves to be taken by the heavens!"
"No wonder Zheng Hong and Duo’er disowned you. To be reborn into the Tan Family is truly eight generations of bad luck!"
Wang Clan felt wronged – she had gotten out of bed only to be scolded. She had always disliked those girls; how could she possibly go looking for them?
"All of you get out, what are you doing up at this hour and not sleeping? All of you must be too full and just looking for trouble!"
Wang Clan blocked the doorway, eager to drive these people away as quickly as possible.
Hu’s Clan was solely focused on finding out the whereabouts of the children and pushed past Wang Clan to get inside.
Behind her resonated Wang Clan’s venomous curse, but Hu’s Clan was as if deaf to it.
The door of the eastern wing was locked; Hu’s Clan knocked several times with no response, then lifted her foot and kicked the door open.
A strong smell of alcohol wafted out, causing people to cover their noses involuntarily.
Could it be that he drowned in an alcohol vat?
Upon entering the room, Tan Zhengyuan was found sound asleep on the bed, clutching a black cloth bag that was bulging significantly.
Instinctively, Hu’s Clan grabbed it and opened it to look; what more was there to understand?
Roughly counting, there were indeed more than ten taels of silver!
For someone as lazy and good-for-nothing as Tan Zhengyuan, it was impossible for him to have earned so much silver in his life.
