Chapter 740 Gone

Old Mrs. Li was ill last year. After she recovered, she seemed to have aged several years in an instant.

He lacks confidence and is out of breath when he scolds others.

Li Guangyuan ignored her and went straight into the house.

There was only a kerosene lamp in the room.

Although the village has had electricity in recent years, during the busy farming season, crops need electricity to pump water for irrigation. In order to ensure agricultural production, there will be occasional power outages for lighting at night.

There was a power outage at home today.

Old Mrs. Li has lived a poor life since she was a child. She would ask Li Guangyuan for money even when she had nothing to do, but she was reluctant to spend the money she got.

There was a kerosene lamp in the room, but I didn't even dare to choose a bigger wick.

The tiny light only illuminates an area close to the lamp.

There was no one in the room.

As soon as Li Guangyuan entered the house, he found a needle and picked up the wick directly.

Old Mrs. Li was behind him, and before catching up with him, she did not forget to pick up the 20 yuan that she had knocked off the ground.

He hurriedly wrapped it in a handkerchief and put it into the pocket he had sewn on his crotch.

When Li Guangyuan saw her coming in, he got straight to the point. "The Zhang family came to the vegetable market to look for me today. They said that my second sister went back to her parents' home early yesterday morning. What happened? Where did my second sister go?"

Mrs. Li was slightly startled when she heard this, and replied with a twinkling look in her eyes, "What are you asking? Your second sister married into the Zhang family and was a good person. Now she is nowhere to be found. Why don't you go to the Zhang family to ask for her instead of running to my house to ask for her? How would I know where your second sister is?"

When he said this, he pretended to cry.

"My poor daughter, she married that bastard Zhang Wenbin. What a city guy, bullshit, he looks like a human but bullies my daughter all day long. He deserves to be put in jail. Let the government lock him up for life and never let him out, so that he won't harm my daughter..."

Although she cried sincerely, Li Guangyuan did not miss the guilty feeling she felt at the beginning.

"Mom, we are all a family, and I also hope that my two sisters live well."

Old Madam Li didn't believe what he said. She glanced at him with dissatisfaction. "You want your two younger sisters to live a good life. How could they end up like this? You found a family like that for your eldest sister. She couldn't even make ends meet. Until now, your eldest sister is still missing. Not to mention your second sister. You knew she had a hard life, but you were unwilling to help her. Don't you know what kind of life she led in the Zhang family? You still have the nerve to tell me that you hope they live a good life. I see that you only care about yourself. How can you care about the three of us in your heart and eyes..."

Old lady Li started to talk nonsense again with the same old clichés, and Li Guangyuan patiently tried to reason with her.

"Mom, be fair, isn't the Ma family a good family? Ma Dazhuang is hardworking and has a good temper. As long as Li Hongmei lives with him steadily, how bad can their lives be? I've heard that Ma Dazhuang has married again, and the couple is almost making a fortune raising pigs. Besides, when my second sister fell in love with Zhang Wenbin, I didn't agree. It was you and her who insisted on marrying a city guy, which made our family inferior to her husband's family from the beginning. Haven't I helped her enough over the years?"

"Okay, okay, it's all our fault. You didn't do anything wrong. So why do you care about us? Just hide in the city with your heartless wife and don't come back. I finally understand. You have learned from your wife. You only care about money. You don't even want your son, let alone your parents."

When talking about her grandson, Mrs. Li was really sad. She covered her chest and cried, "My poor little grandson, if I had known they were so cruel, I would never have given the child to them. He is the root of our Li family..."

Li Guangyuan was somewhat moved by her crying. When it came to her children, his mother was partial to her daughter, but she really loved this little grandson too.

Otherwise, the old lady wouldn't have fallen seriously ill after Genbao was lost.

When he was a child, he knew that his mother and father had been married for many years before he was born.

His mother is more persistent when it comes to the issue of children.

That's why I was so sad when Genbao was lost.

"Mom, don't cry. I really didn't ignore you. As for my two younger sisters, I won't abandon them either. I came back this time just to ask you the truth. I still say that we are a family. If my sister really disappeared in such an unclear way, I will definitely go to the police station to report it to the police and ask the public security comrades to help us find her. I will also settle accounts with the Zhang family. But if my sister came back to look for you, and you had something with her that you hid from me, I would go to the police station to report it to the police, and the public security comrades would find out..."

Even without him saying the following words, Mrs. Li started to panic.

"It's just a small matter. You can just go and settle with the Zhang family. Why do you have to go to the police station to report it to the public security comrades?"

Li Guangyuan said seriously, "My eldest sister has been missing for so long. People say she might have been abducted by human traffickers. It's hard to find her. I can't let both of my sisters disappear without a trace. I must find my second sister. Since you don't know, I'll report it to the police."

After he said that, he turned around and left, but was grabbed by Old Mrs. Li.

"Don't go yet."

Li Guangyuan turned to look at her, and Old Mrs. Li touched her hair unnaturally.

"Your second sister wanted to divorce Zhang Wenbin before. You know she has been married to the Zhang family for so many years, but the Zhang family didn't treat her as a human being. As a result, Zhang Wenbin went to jail, and the Zhang family looked at her like a thief all day long, not to mention divorce. Life in the Zhang family is not a life for human beings. Your sister came home yesterday and told me that she was leaving."

"Leaving? Where to?

Li Guangyuan thought that Li Dongmei might go back to her parents' home to hide for a few days, but he didn't expect that she would just leave.

"I don't know where he went. I heard that he went to some place in the south where he could make a lot of money. As for the child, he is the Zhang family's child and should be left to the Zhang family. What's the matter with your sister taking him with her? How can she get married in the future?"

Li Guangyuan frowned even deeper. "You went there just because you heard about her? You are so foolish. Money is not that easy to earn. She is a female comrade and she has to go so far away. She is not familiar with the place. Aren't you afraid that she will be abducted by human traffickers or cheated by others?"

The eldest sister Li Hongmei is now missing and no one has found her body. If the second sister gets missing too, it would be a huge loss of face for the Li family.

Old Madam Li looked around seriously and lowered her voice, "Your second sister didn't go to an unfamiliar place alone. There is news about your eldest sister Hongmei. She wrote to your second sister, telling you that she made a lot of money there and asked your second sister to go with her. Otherwise, how could your second sister, who is so timid, dare to go?"

This time, Li Guangyuan was even more shocked. "There is news about Hongmei. Where is she? Since she can write a letter to save her life, why doesn't she write a letter to her family? After all, she has been gone for so many years, she should come home to visit, right? Tell me where she is and I will go find her."
