She was robbed by the leader of the family and had three children.

Chapter 794 Standing on the Moral Point

Almost at the moment the door latch fell, there was a knock on the door outside.

Ye Shu asked calmly, "Who? What's the matter?"

An old lady's voice sounded outside the door. It was unfamiliar, very hoarse and weak. She asked:

"My two kids were being naughty. They went out to play and now I don't know where they are. I wanted to ask if you have seen them?"

Ye Shu noticed that when the old lady's voice sounded, the two children in front of Mrs. Tang huddled together even more timidly.

At the same time, he pursed his lips tightly, his little face full of fear, but he remained firm and silent.

At such a young age, even his breathing slowed down.

This is a subconscious reaction that has been developed over the years.

Two pairs of wet, pitiful eyes looked at Ye Shu, full of fear and begging. They were obviously afraid that she would tell their whereabouts to the old woman outside.

Ye Shu noticed the children's reactions. She narrowed her eyes and asked, "What kind of children?"

Tears rolled down the two children's cheeks instantly, but they remained stubborn and didn't speak a word. They didn't ask Ye Shu not to tell them the news, nor did they ask Mrs. Tang to save them.

If such behavior were done by an adult, it might be understood as retreating to advance, using absolute weakness to gain sympathy from others.

But now this situation is actually happening to two absolutely disadvantaged children, and they may not be deliberately retreating to advance.

Maybe it's just... they no longer trust others, no longer believe that they can get help from others by asking for help or mercy.

Perhaps it was because, after asking for help, what he received was not help, but...?

Ye Shu didn't dare to think too much, but she never felt that the saying that human nature is evil was unreasonable.

She heard the old lady outside answer: "Oh, they are two children of four or five years old, a boy and a girl."

No characteristics were mentioned.

Ye Shu asked again: "Your family?"

Old lady: “Yes!”

Ye Shu: “I didn’t see it.”

The old lady obviously didn't believe it: "Ah?..."

But Ye Shu didn't wait for her to say anything else and turned and left.

Then he waved to Mrs. Tang, indicating that she should take the two children in first.

Although the courtyard door was closed, there was still a gap between the door panels. If someone was talking, someone with sharp ears outside might hear it.

Besides, it was too cold outside and the two kids were freezing.

Mrs. Tang coaxed the two children in a low voice, "Come in with Auntie. Let's wash our faces and hands and drink some sugar water, okay?"

Sugar water is definitely a good thing these days.

Adults never drink sugar water casually. Unless it is a festival, there are no distinguished guests at home, or the children are sick, they will not easily give children sugar water.

These two children are still young after all. No matter how strong they pretend to be like adults, they are still children at heart.

When he heard about drinking sugar water, although he didn't show it, the longing in his eyes and expression couldn't be faked.

Mrs. Tang took the two children home, and Huo Junrou hurried back to dilute some warm water to wipe their faces and hands.

Sister Jin sighed, "What a sin!"

Then he walked to the gate of the yard, intending to look through the crack in the door to see if the people outside had left.

But Ye Shu stopped him in time: "Don't go."

Others couldn't hear it, but she could hear that the footsteps outside were still there.

The old lady was still listening to the noise in front of their courtyard gate.

She had good eyesight. Others couldn't see what was through the tiny crack in the door, but she could see that someone was peeping through it.

Probably because the gap in the door was too narrow and he couldn't see clearly, he put his ear close to the door, wanting to listen to what was going on inside.

Mrs. Jin could not see or know about the old lady's behavior outside the door.

But Ye Shu saw it all, and she reminded him in a low voice: "She's not gone."

Then he pointed to the crack in the door and showed it to her.

Mrs. Jin's eyesight was not as good as Ye Shu's, so she couldn't see the person outside the crack in the door. But after Ye Shu reminded her, she discovered that the shadow cast by the crack in the door on the ground appeared and disappeared because of the swaying of the person outside.

She took a deep breath.

Ye Shu knew that she couldn't hold back and was about to curse, so he quickly stopped her and shook his head at her.

Mrs. Jin was furious, but she also understood that arguing at this time would not be of much use.

When she makes accusations, she is simply condemning them from a moral point of view.

But at the same time, the women in Courtyard No. 1 can also condemn back from a moral point of view.

After all, they are the ones who are really miserable!

They don't need to play the victim. Everyone knows that they have a hard life. As long as they make excuses by saying that there are too many children and too much work to do at home and they really can't take care of them, so they neglect them, others will be helpless.

Moreover, they are now thinking about changing houses as soon as possible!

If there is no opportunity, you have to create one. Once the incident with these two children happens, maybe they can seize the opportunity and force the housing authority to allocate houses to them quickly from a moral point of view!

Mrs. Jin took a deep breath and finally endured it.

He turned around and went home, took out a set of Sanbao'er's tattered clothes and gave them to the little girl to change into.

I was originally planning to take it apart and follow Ye Shu's method to buy Sanbao a new set of clothes.

But now we don’t need to do that anymore, just patch it up and let the child wear it!

It was so pitiful. Even Sanbao's tattered clothes were so unbearable that Mrs. Jin and the others wanted to tear them down and make new ones. However, they were still much better than the clothes on this little girl!

Moreover, although they are about the same age, Sanbaoer's clothes look too big for the little girl!

Tsk!

Not to mention that a soft-hearted person like Mrs. Tang couldn't bear to watch it, even Mrs. Jin couldn't help crying.

Xiaohua is one year older than Xiaomei and cannot wear Hu Baoer and the others' clothes. Mrs. Tang's family also doesn't have any suitable small clothes for him.

He is also thin, and it seems that he has no more weight than Xiaomei. In theory, the clothes that fit the three little ones are just right for him.

But the three little ones in Ye Shu's family were too naughty. Their clothes were all torn and tattered, and Ye Shu had taken them all apart. They were all at Jin Saozi and Zhuang Jingjing's house, and had not yet been remade.

There are only two sets left, one is on my body, and the other is washed and hanging in the kitchen but not yet dried.

In the end, Zhuang Jingjing took Xuan'er's clothes and gave them to him. Fortunately, these days, there is not much difference between the clothes of boys and girls in ordinary families. They are all gray cotton jackets and trousers.

But Xuan'er's clothes looked even bigger for him!

The two children were wearing clothes that were obviously ill-fitting, making them look even more pitiful and weak.

Mrs. Tang originally wanted to just wash their hands and faces, but when she saw how dirty they were while changing clothes, she couldn't help herself:

"Let's take a shower!"

Ye Shu and Zhuang Jingjing's wife Jin went back to continue making clothes. After all, it was the New Year, and the clothes that had been taken apart had to be sewn back together quickly.

Mrs. Jin couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what do you think? If these two kids are missing, will they call the police?"
