The woman revealed a sad expression as she hugged Zhou Ru and looked at her husband for help.
Zhou Ru’s father pondered a bit and said, “Dao Chang, this kid is a mute.”
“Mute? No problem!” The old man flicked his finger and the woman was forced back a few steps. He grabbed Zhou Ru and smiled. “Okay, you come with me!”
Zhou Ru’s face was filled with fear. Her body trembled and tears started streaming down her cheeks. She was only a three-year-old kid, so she was terrified right now.
Zhou Ru’s father clenched his fists and was about to speak when the old man frowned. He looked over and coldly said, “To have your kid picked is your luck. Don’t be noisy!”
At this moment, the elder of the village quickly went to calm Zhou Ru’s parents.
The old man snorted and said, “I’m not here to steal your kid but to give her a good future! You will still have chances to meet in the future!” With that, he held Zhou Ru and walked toward the village exit.
