The answer to this question came by noon, again from Jiang Manyue, the loudspeaker.

"Oh dear, Jingyan, did you know that Li Hongying went missing while picking mushrooms in the mountains? She disappeared the day before yesterday, and her mother-in-law was even bitten by a wild boar while trying to find her."

Two days have passed, and no one knows whether she's alive or dead in the mountains. Liu Aiguo still can't walk because her mother-in-law was bitten, and no one dares to go looking for her anymore.

“I already know about this; Uncle Jiu told me about it.”

"Oh." Jiang Manyue was a little disappointed that she wasn't the first to let Luo Jingyan have some gossip, but she still had some juicy gossip to share. "Jingyan, have you been thinking about your neighbor these past few days? She's not here anymore, so you must feel very peaceful now, right?"

Luo Jingyan nodded in agreement.

"Zhuang Feifei asked the brigade leader for leave to go home, saying that her mother was seriously ill and she needed to go home to see her mother."

“She’s quite filial,” Luo Jingyan said.

She actually knew that Zhuang Feifei hadn't cared about her family ties before going to the countryside. Now that she was back home, it was probably because she was broke and wanted to squeeze some money out of her family.

Zhuang Feifei, a quirky female protagonist with warped values, never does anything without a reason. This time, in order to get help from her family, she will definitely go back and try to improve her relationship with them.

Zhuang Feifei's departure turned out to be a lucky accident, preventing her from being robbed by the bandits. She was quite fortunate this time; could this be the power of the female lead's halo?

Jiang Manyue curled her lips: "I don't think she's being filial. She's probably just going back home to leech off us again. It seems like she's run out of money these days and is eating wild vegetables like the other members of the brigade. I bet she's not using visiting someone in the hospital as an excuse to actually go home and ask for money."

"Who knows? Now that you mention it, it's quite possible."

After Leopard and Zhang Xiaolong met Luo Jingyan, they stared at Zhuang Feifei's door for a long time, but unfortunately they never saw Zhuang Feifei.

"Third Brother, what's wrong with that woman? Why doesn't she go out? Isn't it said that the educated youth here have to go to work on time every day, just like the brigade members? The other one just went to work. Could this one not be at home?"

"Not necessarily, maybe he's sick and can't go to work."

"It's good that she's sick; it's easier to deal with when she's sick. She's already a delicate woman, and now she's even more of a lamb. Isn't it better if she doesn't resist?"

"Forget it, forget it. The one I saw earlier was pretty enough, which at least proves that the woman on the mountain wasn't lying. This one who's been cooped up at home must be pretty too. It's getting late, and I'm hungry. Let's hurry back up the mountain to report back and have some meat."

The leopard patted its belly: "Now that you mention it, I feel hungry too. Let's go back. We'll tell our big brother this good news, and he'll definitely reward us. Hehe, tonight we'll see that guy who stays home all the time. Wow, we've really had a feast for the eyes today."

After discussing it, the two decided to return to the mountain since they hadn't seen Zhuang Feifei.

Black Tiger and Fat Tiger had been eavesdropping nearby, and after they left, they continued to quietly follow them up the mountain.
