"Which village are you from?"
"Qiao, Qiaoshui Cave."
"Is there anyone from their village here?"
Everyone shook their heads, then an elderly man stepped out of the crowd: "I'm from the neighboring village, but I've seen Da Niu, so I know him."
Jiang Mingyue smiled: "That's good. You can help as a witness later, and others can help too. The abandonment of their child by Da Niu and his wife is a serious offense."
Da Niu started shouting immediately: "How could it be? I'm not the only one who abandoned a girl. I was just following examples."
"The commune wasn't aware before; if they knew, people would have been tied up long ago. But you're different. We are all witnesses, and we'll write a report later so the village committee and commune can keep an eye on you two. If you abandon your child again, the responsibility will be pursued."
