That's right. Zhao Dong hadn't told the children about this when they set out. He had consistently asked Wang Dachui, his partner in selling tofu in the county town, to help him gather information.
Just a few days ago, when Wang Dachui came to pick up tofu, he had relayed the information he'd gathered: the Human Trafficker woman who had bought Zhao Ya was at the Human Trafficking Place on South Street.
He had specifically taken a day off, ostensibly to bring the two children to the county town for an outing, but his actual intention was to let them see their sister.
However, he hadn't told them. Firstly, he was worried they would dwell on it too much during the journey. Secondly, he was concerned that if they couldn't find Zhao Ya, the two children would get their hopes up only to be let down.
