The family where Chuzheng was hiding saw the commotion on the island and immediately understood whom they were searching for.
There was only one new face here...
"Dear, what should we do?" The woman clutched her husband, nervously glancing towards the inside of the house.
Inside, the young girl was wearing clean clothes, sitting by the table, and beside her was an infant about one year old.
This infant was their child.
"They must be looking for her outside. If she's caught, we'll all die." The woman cried miserably, fearing both for the little girl's potential harm to the infant and the island people coming to find her.
The man was irritated by the woman's crying and scolded her in a low voice, "If you hadn't been greedy, would we be experiencing this now?"
"How was I to know that she..."
She was greedy, but it was for the sake of the family. Although she was a stranger, she thought that with today's return of the fleet, maybe she had escaped from the ship.
