Part Two: East Land Big Sugar, Chapter 72: The Discrepancies

eral of Zhuyuan's latest high-tech products. The booth looked like a science museum, and Zhou Ming was very interested, exclaiming in amazement repeatedly how amazing it was. 。Shu Tinglan wasn't part...Lu Yaoyao sent Chen Ning back her clothes, actually feeling a bit nervous, afraid of hurting the girl's pride. 。Self-esteem, that thing, is light as a feather in good times, but inexplicably heavy in adversity. It's pretty mystical stuff anyway. 。But her return to Chen Ning wasn't out of sympathy, but out of admiration, out of a kind of love and care, she brought an entire box of down jackets for her. 。When Chen Ling came back to knock on the door, she was really afraid that she was here to return her clothes. She had already thought about what to say. As a result, as soon as the door opened, she saw Chen Ling's sunny smile, wearing a down jacket, and still holding one in her hand, asking her: "Lu Xiao Yaoyao, which one should I wear this afternoon" Originally, she wanted to call her Ms. Lu again, but on the plane, Lu Yaoyao insisted that everyone call her Yaoyao from now on, so Chen Linghui changed her name to Yaoyao. 。All of them look nice. 。Lu Yaoyao, seeing this, felt much better. 。She has never worn these down jackets because she loves to be fashionable, and the down jackets make her look bulky. 。

I was labeling things last night until the middle of the night. I even ripped two in the process, but although my neck hurts from being tired, focusing on one thing was very relieving and made many things feel less heavy and painful in my heart. 。After resting for a while in the hotel at noon, I got busy in the afternoon. 。First, I attended a meeting at the local Women's Federation. I learned about the number of women who have been rescued so far; and also how many are still outstanding cases or missing persons who haven't been found. 。This group of photos mainly shows abducted children who have been deliberately maimed and sent out to beg on the streets. 。"And there are girls in this group of photos, aged 12-15, who were trafficked to remote mountainous areas to be married to locals. When we rescued them, they all had children a few years old." 。Looking at the photos and footage, Lu Yaoyao was deeply shocked. This was a completely unfamiliar world to her. She had always kept such tragic fates confined to movies or news reports. When reality was laid bare before her eyes, she was deeply shaken. 。

Perhaps this is the disparity of the world, suddenly feeling that one's own suffering is so insignificant and trivial. 。

After the meeting this afternoon, during dinner in the evening, she found out that there were still volunteers from their side who had arranged cars and personnel. Tomorrow they would take them to visit those women who had been rescued. 。

Lu Yaoyao couldn't sleep well all night. In her half-sleep state, she kept dreaming that she was kidnapped and locked in a dark cellar. After waking up in fright, she couldn't fall asleep again. 。

Looking at her phone WeChat, there were many messages: from Gu Ruandong, Lu Kuo, Hao Jie, and Ruan Ruan. She didn't click on any of them. This place felt like another parallel world, where she only posted one message on her Moments, saying everything was fine and sending a message to let everyone know she was safe.

The next day, volunteers drove them out, and the photographer started filming throughout the trip. 。This visit was to a remote mountain village. The mountain roads were very slippery after the snow, and one section of the road was right next to a cliff, barely wide enough for a car to pass through. 。Carrying a car full of people, the driver was also anxious. He let them all get off and walk, and he slowly drove behind them. 。Everyone slowly inched past the mountainside, huddled together. 。Chen Ning was very familiar with this kind of environment, so she held Yao Yao's hand the whole time. 。If it had been before, Lu Yaoyao would have probably burst into tears, but now she was very calm. She gestured for her to keep watch on the road, saying that she could handle it alone. 。Overcome your fear, don't look over the edge of the cliff, and you'll be fine. The road is actually quite wide. 。。We didn't reach the village until close to noon. It wasn't a large village, with houses scattered here and there, looking dilapidated and desolate. 。

After finally locating the subjects of her visit, Lu YaoYao’s heart clenched again. They were two young girls, much younger than she, under 20 years old according to their files. But when she saw them, they looked to be in their thirties, with prominent bellies, visibly pregnant. 。Chen Ning whispered back to her, "She was already pregnant when we rescued her. She was too far along, there was no way..." 。"

Actually, there was one born before that, but the buyer didn't bring it out." 。

The two girls seemed to be startled by the stranger, reacting with anxiety and shrinking into a corner, remaining silent. Their parents sighed heavily and pulled at the head of the foundation, incessantly complaining and pouring out their woes. 。Lu YaoYao was unable to express the shock she felt in her heart. For the first time, she deeply understood what it meant to truly suffer the pain of human existence. 。She knelt before the two girls, wanting to hug them, to comfort them, saying it was alright, that things would get better. 。She couldn't utter a word. Looking at the desolate scene outside and the swollen bellies of those two girls, she knew they might never escape this place for the rest of their lives. 。The camera kept filming her, and she didn't want people to think she was putting on a show, so she went outside for some fresh air. 。

There's a weak signal here, she texted Lu Kuo, "Brother, I think we're already lucky enough."> 。Lu Kuo replied: "It was always like that." 。Sometimes growth is just a moment. 。The foundation people are still in the house, they left money for them and arranged for the two girls to have regular prenatal checkups in the city as well as transportation when they give birth. 。What they can do is just a drop in the bucket, too little, too weak. 。As Lu Yaya returned home, she looked out the car window at the winding and undulating mountains and silently wept. 。

Chen Ling replied very calmly because she had walked out of this suffering. 。She said: “If I hadn't been helped by that uncle and encouraged by him later, maybe I would have stayed trapped in these mountains like them for my whole life. I wouldn't have seen the stars and the sea, or experienced the wonderful things this colorful world has to offer.” 。"Yao Yao asked, “Are you still in touch”Chen Ling replied, “Yes, during my year of retaking the exam, a lot of my review materials were bought for me by him from outside. Otherwise, with our local teaching quality, I wouldn’t have been able to get such good grades.” 。When it came time to fill out my college applications, he also gave me advice. He suggested I apply to the Foreign Affairs University. He said the world is vast, and he hoped I could travel far and see more of it. 。She comes back every winter break from the Foreign Affairs Academy just to see him. 。They only see each other once a year, but this time when they tried to contact him, he said he was very busy and couldn't meet. 。

There was a tinge of disappointment for her as well. She had wanted to tell her uncle that she had graduated from university, been accepted into the master's program at the same school, and participated in many volunteer organizations, wanting to give back all the love she had received to society. She hadn't let him down. 。Lu Yaoyao listened and felt a bit envious. At important junctures in life, having someone like a mentor guide you out of adversity would be much easier than figuring things out on your own. 。l and concrete of the city."I really appreciate that, grandpa." He's so happy being a dad now. There's nothing purer in the world than spending time with kids.Shu Tinglan was busy looking through cas...
