Feng Qingqing’s sudden request was the result of a hypothesis she had formed while listening to the chatter of the elderly men and women. After all, although this area was inhabited by a mix of factory workers and farmers earning work points, these elders had lived here their entire lives. While they didn't know everything about the comings and goings of the local workers, most of the daily foot traffic passed by this old pagoda tree, and the elders spent most of their idle time sitting right here.
They knew everyone by sight, if nothing else.
Listening to their discussion, she realized that while some families did rent out rooms for various reasons, it wasn’t common. Feng Qingqing knew that in these times, every household had many children; even the family members themselves barely had enough living space, let alone enough to spare a room to rent out for a little extra pocket money. Even for those who gritted their teeth and squeezed out one or two rooms, she knew such places wouldn't be suitable for criminals to hide abducted children.
