Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 299 Mistaken for a Human Trafficker

Lin Chang'er was startled. "What's wrong?"

The lead guard's brow furrowed and his eyes turned cold. "Take him down!"

Liu Zi quickly stepped in front of Lin Chang'er, "Wait, we are entering the city according to regulations. Why are you arresting people? Explain yourself first!"

The guard asked coldly, "Why? Don't you really know?"

Lin Chang'er glanced at Liu Zi, who shook his head, looking completely bewildered. He even wondered if they had wandered into the wrong place, or if Third Master had been impeached and his entire family implicated.

No, no, Third Master and Miss Lin used an underground passage. No outsiders would know that on the surface.

Lin Chang'er shook her head, took out a silver ingot from her purse and gave it to Liu Zi, then winked at him.

Liu Zi understood and hurriedly stepped forward to befriend the guard, trying to secretly slip the silver into his hand. "To be honest, sir, we really don't know anything about this. We hope you can enlighten us."

The guard shoved Liu Zi aside. "Don't give me that. Xin'an, Yuhai, and Ninghai counties have suffered severe disasters. Some people are taking advantage of the situation, swindling and kidnapping children from all over the country to make money. Judging by your age, you couldn't have given birth to so many children in this car. If they weren't kidnapped, where did they come from?"

Lin Chang'er: "..."

Lin Chang'er was shocked. She definitely couldn't give birth to him. She wasn't a sow who could give birth to ten babies at once.

But isn't it a bit too hasty to label him a human trafficker?

Then he thought that the guard was quite responsible. If everyone could be like him, there would be far fewer tragedies in the world.

At this moment, guards came up and grabbed her arms.

Liu Zi, Xiao Qi, and Xiao Ba quickly surrounded her, preventing the guards from touching even a corner of her clothes.

Liu Zi said, "Sir, you are very dedicated and I admire you. But before arresting people, shouldn't you first make sure whose carriage it is? And find out what the relationship is between the people in the carriage and the donkey cart and our young lady?"

The guard frowned, looked the carriage up and down, left and right, but still couldn't recognize it. He then asked his brother next to him, "Do you recognize it?"

The man shook his head, and the guard said, "Even princes are subject to the same laws. No matter whose carriage comes, it won't help. Human trafficking is punishable by death. If you resist, don't blame us for being merciless!"

Lin Chang'er sighed, thinking to herself, "I was just bringing the little ones here to broaden their horizons, and this is what happened."

Right now they're at the city gate, where people are coming and going. This commotion will affect everyone, whether they've just left the city or are about to enter.

Everyone stopped to watch, pointing and whispering about them.

"She's good-looking, but why would she do something like this?"

"The prettier the woman, the less trustworthy she is. Look at all the children in this car, she's utterly depraved!"

"I don't think they're human, they're animals!"

Lin Chang'er was terrified that their next words would be, "Family members, beat them up!" and then they would hurl baskets of rotten eggs and vegetable leaves at them.

He hurriedly reached for the jade pendant at his waist, preparing to show it.

"Auntie!"

"Mother!"

"Aunt Chang'er!"

At this moment, the carriage curtain was lifted, and several sleepy little heads popped out.

They rubbed their eyes, as if they were completely bewildered by the situation.

Gu Xiaolu looked at her mother and asked, "Mom, what happened? Why are these uncles pointing knives at you?"

As if struck by a sudden thought, the little girl cried out, "Brother, Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Uncle Li, something terrible has happened! Mother is being taken away! Come and save Mother!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiaoman also shouted, "Brother, Uncle, Fourth Uncle, Uncle Li, come quickly and save Aunt!"

The siblings called out as they nimbly slid down from the carriage along the wheels and ran to Lin Chang'er, spreading their little arms to block the adults.

The older children sitting in the donkey cart, who had been so shaken by the ride that they fell asleep, suddenly heard Gu Xiaolu's cry.

Several large fish, along with the small goldfish, suddenly opened their eyes and, almost instinctively, rushed out, jumped off the car, and ran towards Lin Chang'er.

Zhou Yi had short legs, and before he could even get to the car door, his uncle had already jumped out. All he could do was shout at his uncle's back, "Uncle, take care of Xiao Bao, take care of Xiao Bao!"

Li Qingyang and Li Chuan rushed over and hugged him, "Don't worry, little brother."

Then the two of them led Zhou Yi to the carriage shaft. With Li Chuan's help, Li Qingyang got off the donkey cart first, then helped Zhou Yi off, and finally Li Chuan.

After they all got off the car, the three little ones ran over hand in hand.

The scene was extremely noisy. Little Goldfish, Lin Yanqing, Gu Silang, and Zhou Li were on the outermost layer, while Gu Xiaoman and a group of younger children were inside.

Some said, "Don't you dare arrest my mother!"

Some people said, "Don't arrest my sister-in-law!"

Some said, "Don't arrest my aunt!"

There are also those who call their aunts or maternal aunts!

They stared blankly at the guards standing at the city gate.

One of the guards seemed to have figured it out, scratched his head, and reminded his superior, "I mean, is it possible that these children really are relatives or neighbors?"

The lead guard had a grim expression, his eyes fixed on Lin Chang'er.

Clearly unable to accept this speculation, he asked, "What is your relationship with these children?"

Lin Chang'er pursed her lips, released her grip on the jade pendant, and walked out.

Pointing to Gu Xiaolu and the goldfish, he said, "These two are my stepson and stepdaughter."

Then they went around introducing themselves.

With each explanation of the little one's identity, the guard's face darkened further.

By the time Lin Chang'er finished explaining the last point, the guard's face had darkened to the point of being sullen.

Still seemingly unconvinced, he casually pointed at Li Chuan and asked, "Is she really your aunt?"

Li Chuan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Lin Chang'er, unsure whether he could tell her about his family situation.

The guard, observing the situation, immediately noticed this and shouted, "Don't worry about her expression. If she has kidnapped you, just tell her, and I'll take care of it for you."

Li Chuan no longer cared whether his aunt was willing or not, and hurriedly waved his hand, "No, Aunt didn't kidnap me. I was originally Xiaoman's cousin, and my father is Xiaoman's maternal uncle."

“My mother and I were almost beaten to death by my father. I begged my aunt to save us. My mother is still being taken care of by a doctor hired by my aunt. I have never been to the city before. I only begged my aunt to bring my younger brother Xiaoman and the others to the city.

"My aunt really didn't kidnap me, she's a good person!"

The guard asked suspiciously, "Really?"

Li Chuan nodded hurriedly, "Qingyang can testify!"

Li Qingyang quickly stepped forward, "What Brother Xiaochuan said is true. My father was wronged by the wealthy man, and the wealthy man even wanted to arrest me. Brother Xiaochuan helped my sister escape through the dog hole."

“My sister went to beg Aunt Chang’er to save us. Just then, we ran into Xiao Chuan’s father beating Xiao Chuan and Aunt Xing’er. I begged Sister Chang’er to save them.”

“Yes, yes, that’s really true, sir, Aunt Chang’er is a good person!” Li Qingning also stood up and said.

The guard was a little confused. "Who is Xiaoman?"

Gu Xiaoman squeezed to the front, saying, "I'm Gu Xiaoman."

The guard then pointed at Lin Chang'er, "Who is she to you?"

Gu Xiaoman said, "She's my aunt!"

The guard asked again, "Is what they just said true?"

Gu Xiaoman nodded proudly, "Of course it's true, my aunt is amazing."

"She can not only fight bad guys, but also pirates!"

“When pirates came to our village, my aunt was always at the forefront, along with Grandpa Huo, Uncle Wu, and Uncle Bai!”

Guard: "..." Uncle Wu?

Turning to his subordinate, he asked, "How many Lord Wus are there in Ninghai County?"
