After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Chapter 748 If we see this and ignore it, it will be difficult for anyone in this world to care.

"Sigh... Ugh!"

The boss seemed to have a lot to say, but she didn't say it in the end. She just patted her thigh, looking both annoyed and guilty.

"What's wrong, sis?" Sheng Hanyu asked.

"I knew they fed their kids like this, but I didn't expect it to still be like this now," the owner explained. "Now that you mention it, I remember they used to make short videos, claiming to be money-saving moms."

"Huh?" Ye Sanqing had never heard of this track before. She asked in surprise, "What does 'saving money stay-at-home mom' mean?"

"Uh..." The boss took out his phone and searched for a while. "Aunt Xiaoyuan's old account was cleared. I'll find a similar one for you to see."

Then Ye Sanqing and Sheng Hanyu saw the article, "300 yuan a month for living expenses, see how a stay-at-home mom saves money?"...

"..." Ye Sanqing was speechless after reading it. He glanced at Sheng Hanyu and found that he was also speechless.

That's good, I'm not the only one being silent tonight.

“You probably don’t see many videos like this,” the boss explained, seeing their speechless expression and assuming they didn’t understand. “At first, everyone thought they were genuinely short of money. Some tried to persuade them, others offered to give them supplies, but they wouldn’t listen no matter what. Then we found out that this is how they operate their businesses…?”

"You mean, they just want traffic in this sector. The more people criticize them, the more traffic they get. Is this a specific operational method?" Sheng Hanyu asked.

It seems the boss knows the situation, but doesn't know how to describe it.

“Yes, yes, yes.” The boss pointed to the paused video. “Aunt Xiaoyuan used to be like this, but the titles were even more exaggerated, like ‘six kids in the family, three hundred for living expenses.’ They got more viewers than those with only one or two kids.”

That means she also knows how to use headlines to attract traffic... Sheng Hanyu's head was throbbing with pain.

I didn't realize it before; I never thought short videos had penetrated to this extent.

"And then, doesn't this count as child abuse?" Ye Sanqing asked.

"It's hard to say. Our village committee went to check, because someone saw the video and contacted us asking them to take care of it. But they just said that's all the money they have, and there's nothing they can do." The boss shook his head. "Although we suspect they took their elder brother's inheritance, they claim it was for their children's safekeeping, it's useless, and they themselves are very frugal..."

"So seeing that they themselves are like this confirms that they really don't have much money, and there's nothing that can be done about it?" Sheng Hanyu asked.

"Yes, and their conditions didn't meet the requirements for applying for subsidies. The man in their family has a job, so... there are a lot of procedures to go through to apply for subsidies. I listened in at the time, but I didn't understand. The gist was that it was difficult to get things done," the boss recalled.

Ye Sanqing understood. No wonder he didn't turn on the lights at home; he was putting on a show to complete the act.

"But they said at the time that the title was just a gimmick to make money by making videos, and that it was deliberately exaggerated. They said that when they weren't making videos, they made sure the kids were well-fed, and that they would give the kids better food when they made money from the videos..." The boss recalled some details, "I didn't expect them to still be like this now."

"Why were all those videos taken down?" Sheng Hanyu asked.

He actually knew the reason: to gain this traffic, one needs a strong heart. There will definitely be a lot of people criticizing him online, after all, who wouldn't feel compassion when they see a child pitifully eating a little bit of food?

Unless someone has a special hobby and is happy to be criticized, no one can stick to it for long.

"They've been getting a lot of complaints, so they've probably made some money," the boss said. "I really don't know. One day I just couldn't get the account to work anymore, and I didn't think much of it at the time. Later, when I remembered and searched again, I found that the account had been cleared."

"It can still be like this."

In situations like this, the only option is to utilize the search capabilities of the small insects.

Although the video has been taken down, some people may have saved, transcribed, or forwarded it, so we need to search for it.

Seeing that she was deep in thought, Sheng Hanyu said to the boss, "Thank you, sister. I didn't know that if you hadn't told me."

"Oh, what's the big deal?" The boss glanced at the room where Xiaoyuan and the others were staying temporarily. "You brought them out, and maybe I shouldn't ask, but... can I ask what your plans are for the future?"

Sheng Hanyu looked at her boss, a hint of worry in her eyes.

She is kind-hearted and enthusiastic, but she is just an ordinary person. She cannot take over the care of the children, nor does she have the obligation to do so.

To be honest, in modern society, people who would seek help in such situations are already a minority of kind-hearted individuals. Everyone is afraid of getting into trouble instead of getting things done.

Moreover, the attention is limited; otherwise, people wouldn't have come across the video without paying much attention, only going to watch the commotion when the village committee came looking for someone.

Of course, he didn't mean to criticize his boss; he just felt that there are many helpless situations in this society, and since they have the ability...

"We might entrust the child to a reliable institution for care." Sheng Hanyu is still unsure, but he patiently told his boss, "We might also find a suitable person to adopt him."

"Sister, don't worry, we're not unreliable people." After communicating with Xiaochong in his mind, Ye Sanqing said aloud, "I guess you might think we don't need to get involved, but if we see something and do nothing, it's hard to imagine anyone in this world taking care of it."

Ye Sanqing's perspective differed from Sheng Hanyu's; she believed that the boss was worried about them.

It's a very simple worry that they might get into trouble.

"I don't know... how should I put it?" The shop owner sighed. "You probably wouldn't believe me even if I told you. I may be good at business, but I'm not good with words..."

"Go ahead and say it," Sheng Hanyu encouraged.

He used the time his boss was giving his thoughts to ponder what Ye Sanqing had just said.

“It’s not that I think we shouldn’t get involved, or that we can’t get involved, it’s just that they have relatives…” The boss frowned. “Although it’s not good to talk about a few children like this, they’re so young, you never know. Anything can happen in this world, and we don’t want them to turn around and do something wrong after they’ve grown up…”

"Yes. I'm not afraid of being betrayed." Ye Sanqing nodded, saying with absolute certainty.

The boss spoke vaguely, but what he really meant was that he was afraid of that kind of situation happening.

What are some examples of adopted children who get along well with their adoptive families but always want to find their biological parents, only to discover that their biological parents actually abandoned them...

If the story ended here, it would still be a good story. But there are also people who, for the sake of blood ties, completely abandon the feelings of their adoptive family and go back to be slaves to the relatives who abandoned them.

There are also relatives who are initially indifferent, but then, upon discovering that the child's family is well-off, they start to exploit them.
