He Zhou vaguely remembers that during this time, the sisters Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng seemed to be stranded on a place called Island in the middle of the lake.
In the TV series, Gao Xiaoqin's upbringing environment was also almost glossed over.
Basically, it's about a miserable childhood, with a father who is a drunkard and does nothing all day, a mother who abandoned the family in tears and remarried, and then the two sisters suffering all day, finally escaping, only to fall into the hands of human traffickers.
"Is she your sister, Gao Xiaofeng?" He Zhou looked at the girl behind her, who was slightly shorter than her.
Gao Xiaoqin was stunned for a moment, then gently pressed and immediately opened her hand, protecting her younger sister behind her, just like a mother hen protecting her chicks.
After a moment of silence, He Zhou asked, "How old are you?"
"15," Gao Xiaoqin answered without thinking.
It is often said that children from poor families grow up quickly, but if given the choice, who wouldn't want to enjoy the warmth and care of family at the age when they should, and be willing to be tempered by the cold and cruel reality into a mature person.
Fifteen-year-old Gao Xiaoqin, although still retaining the simplicity of a rural child, already knows the importance of being cautious. He Zhou looked at her in surprise.
Her height development is really not keeping up with her age of fifteen. It's probably due to malnutrition, making her look more like a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.
In fact, in today's social context, it is not uncommon for a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old to talk about marriage. Not to mention in rural areas, where age calculations often include a virtual age or a "fuzzy" age beyond the actual age.
For example, Qi Tongwei, he was born in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, and at the moment of his birth, he was already considered one year old (as pregnancy is counted as one year). Then, three months later, he would be considered two years old.
So, in reality, the age difference between Qi Tongwei and Gao Xiaoqin is not particularly large, probably only about a five-year difference.
Qi Tongwei graduated from college early because at that time, the social background allowed students with good grades to skip grades in order to save on tuition fees. This guy, who ranked first every year, skipped grades in elementary and middle school. In this situation, he still managed to rank first in the county and became the top scorer in the county's college entrance examination!
"Of course, not to mention that He Zhou is the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division and a Party member, even if he were an ordinary person, he wouldn't take advantage of someone's vulnerability and have any improper thoughts towards a girl."
"What are your plans for the future?"
Because the two sisters are the main decision-makers, He Zhou is actually mainly asking for their opinion.
Seeing her pursed lips and silence, He Zhou kindly reminded, "Don't forget, he is still your father. According to the rules, we need to bring him over to take you two sisters back."
Although it's a bit cruel, it's a hurdle that can't be avoided.
"Don't, please, don't make us go back to that home..."
The sisters' expressions changed drastically at the words, and Gao Xiaoqin almost screamed in despair, "I'm not going back, we'll die if we go back."
She will never forget the times in that home, huddling together with her sister for warmth in the drafty house during the winter.
I will never forget when my little sister had a high fever, and I asked for money for medicine. Instead, she was hit on the head by that man, blood streaming down her face, as he cursed at them for being a waste of money...
After she finished venting, He Zhou handed her a bag of snacks and said, "Eat, and then we can talk."
After speaking, he simply took out a newspaper from his back pocket, spread it on the ground, and sat on it for a while, letting the two little girls sit at the other end.
"How about I find a family willing to adopt you?" He Zhou thought for a moment and said, "If you don't want to stay in the countryside, I can also rent a house for you near the police station and send you to school."
As for the question of whether Gao Xiaoqin's alcoholic father is willing, since he was able to sell the Gao Xiaoqin sisters, it shows that it's still a matter of money. As long as the money is in place, everything is not a problem.
Both parties can go through the proper channels, complete all procedures, and legally adopt these two little girls in the name of relatives, thus permanently resolving the issue. As for the matter of killing Gao Xiaoqin's alcoholic father, aside from the Rule of Law society, there are serious drawbacks to doing such a thing. Even if it is done God is unaware and ghosts are unaware., what if the last pair of aunts and uncles come looking for him?
He Zhou can't just turn into a serial killer and kill them all, right?
Gao Xiaoqin is fifteen years old this year, Gao Xiaofeng is thirteen years old, as long as they are raised for a couple of years, they can get married and receive a hefty dowry.
Who can guarantee that these messy relatives will treat the Gao Xiaoqin sisters as their own, instead of using the guise of adopting an orphan to seize the Gao family's land. The evil of human nature, one must guard against.
Instead of that, it's better to spend a little money to solve the problem.
In He Zhou's space, there are still some 'ill-gotten gains' of unknown origin stored. Now, it's just right to adopt and raise this pair of sisters in the name of relatives, allowing them to return to school.
Moreover, He Zhou is not afraid of their alcoholic father trying to blackmail them after signing. He is a captain of the Criminal Investigation Division, so he still has some deterrent power. If the other party doesn't know what's good for them, he can consider getting them into prison. He doesn't believe that an alcoholic who sells his own daughter wouldn't have other criminal activities.
Before completing the adoption process, Gao Xiaoqin's gambling father is still alive.
