Cute baby is coming: President, come to my arms quickly

Chapter 240 Escape into the Mountains

He Hua felt a little relieved only after she confirmed again and again that neither of the two children had taken sleeping pills. However, she was destined not to be able to sleep well tonight.

Of course, besides Lotus, there were two other old guys who were too excited to sleep. They were excited to think that they would soon have a lot of income. Of course, they were also more vigilant in their excitement. Another reason for not sleeping was to prevent Lotus from escaping.

At three o'clock in the morning, a faint light suddenly lit up in the dark night.

"Hehua, don't blame us. In fact, your life in the past year since you got married has been much better than that of other people. Look at the other people in the village, who hasn't been beaten to a bloody pulp? We have been good enough to you."

The old woman was tying the rope around Lotus while speaking high-sounding words.

Lotus just listened to the old woman silently without saying anything.

"You know the current situation of our family. I haven't heard from my son for a year. I was counting on you to give birth to a big fat boy for our family, but who knows when that boy will come back..."

When talking about her son, a rare sadness appeared on the old woman's face. Perhaps they knew that they would not be able to wait for their son to come back, otherwise they would not have bought two children who were not related to them by blood as their grandsons.

"When you go there, you must be obedient and don't think about running away."

The old woman tried her best to persuade Lotus with all her heart, but of course she didn't do it out of kindness. She was worried that if Lotus was sold to someone else and ran away, the other person would cause trouble for them.

"Mom, I can take care of you and my dad, can you please not sell me?" Lotus, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke. She begged the other party not to sell her because she could still take care of them, although the hope was slim.

The old woman was not shaken at all when she heard what Lotus said.

"Lotus, your father and I are capable. There will be no problem in raising the two grandchildren. And Lotus, you also know that the family situation requires money. If it is not necessary, I will not let you go to someone else's house."

There was a hint of reluctance to part with the lotus in the old woman's words.

"are you done!"

Before Hehua could say anything more, the old man started to urge her.

At this moment, there were several men standing in the courtyard. Except for the middleman who was a woman, the rest were men.

"It'll be ready soon!"

Shouting outside the house, the old woman quickened her movements.

In less than 5 minutes, the old woman came to the yard with Lotus.

"Are they all tied up?" The old man said and then checked the rope that tied the lotus. He was relieved only when he was sure there was no problem.

"Old Yang, are you really willing to sell your lotus flowers?"

Suddenly a man's voice was heard in the dark yard.

"What can I do? I haven't heard from Gangzi for a long time. I can't keep supporting her forever."

In fact, what the Yang couple is most worried about is that He Hua will hook up with other people after staying in the village for too long. If she joins hands with others and runs away, they will lose both her life and her money.

"What if your son Gangzi comes back without a wife?" Someone was still trying to make the couple change their minds.

"We'll talk about it when the time comes. If it doesn't work, just buy another one."

In Old Yang's eyes, buying a wife is as simple and casual as buying a livestock.

"Uncle Yang, how much did that family offer for Lotus?" The one who spoke this time was a middle-aged man in his 40s. When Lotus came out just now, his eyes had been glued to her. Anyone with eyesight could see his thoughts about Lotus.

"What are you doing? You are asking what you did earlier!"

The middleman was not going to do this anymore, as she saw that her deal was about to be completed and she couldn't let it down at this critical moment.

The middle-aged man who originally wanted to fight for it felt a little embarrassed when he heard the unhappy tone of the middleman, because Old Man Yang had also asked the villagers earlier, but the villagers gave up after hearing the price.

Old Yang originally thought that he could raise the price a little higher, but when he saw the middleman's attitude, he immediately gave up. It was better not to offend the middleman.

"Let me be frank with you. It would be best if you discussed it on your own from the beginning. But if you change your mind after I have contacted the other party and everything has been settled, that would be really rude. Don't come to me for business in your village from now on."

The middleman's tone was not very good and he emphasized it again.

"No, no, how can that be possible?"

Old Yang quickly put on a smile to ease the atmosphere.

After this little episode, the group finally set out on their journey to buy the house.

Huo Siqi and Si Rui in the other room waited for a long time until everyone left before they dared to take action slowly. They did not dare to make too much noise.

He waited until he was some distance away from Old Man Yang's house before he dared to speak in a low voice.

"Nannan, are you scared?"

Huo Siqi held Si Rui's hand all the time. It was dark and the road was difficult to walk on. There were tree branches hanging on his face. He thought Si Rui would cry.

I didn't expect that she followed me obediently without crying or complaining about being tired.

"I'm not afraid." Si Rui's voice was low, and if you listened carefully you could hear a slight tremor.

"Auntie Hehua said that as long as we flee to the mountains, we will be able to escape. Don't be afraid. My father will come to rescue us soon."

Huo Siqi heard Si Rui's voice and encouraged him warmly.

"I believe in you, Brother Siqi."

The person Si Rui trusts the most now is Huo Siqi, and he relies heavily on him.

The two little people walked hand in hand into the mountains. Since they had done their homework a few days in advance, the first part of the journey was not too difficult for them, especially as the sky gradually brightened.

But daybreak also meant that their escape would most likely be discovered, so they had to speed up.

Wait till the sun is high in the sky,

Old Yang and his wife and the other people who came to help finally came back talking and laughing.

"Thank you for your hard work today. Let's eat lunch at home!"

The price of the lotus flowers was pretty good, so Mr. and Mrs. Yang were in a very good mood. On the way back, they bought meat and vegetables to thank everyone.

The others agreed without hesitation.

"Everyone sit down and rest for a while, I'll go cook right away."

After the old woman finished speaking, she prepared to go to the kitchen to cook.

Both of them forgot to check whether Huo Siqi and Si Rui were still in the room.

Perhaps because they saw that the door of the room where the two children were locked was still locked, they naturally thought that the two children were still sleeping in the room.

It was not until the meal was ready that the old woman thought of waking up the two children to eat.

"Old man!!!"

Old Yang, who was drinking with everyone, became unhappy immediately when he heard the old woman's fussing.

"What the hell are you yelling about again!"

Old Yang came towards the sound with an impatient look on his face.

But when he saw the empty room, he was also dumbfounded.
