Chapter 315 Encounter at the County Government Office

After Sanya finished stuffing the candy in, Baoya was watching longingly from the side, and then opened her mouth to ask for more candy.

Sanya quickly said before she could speak, "You've already eaten today. If you eat again, worms will grow in your mouth, and you'll be rolling on the ground in pain. In that case, you won't be able to eat sugar or meat anymore, and you won't even be able to eat rice. You'll starve to death."

Bao Ya's eyes widened, and she quickly covered her mouth.

With her two younger sisters comforting her and her grandmother around, Xiao Zhen, with candy in her mouth, was no longer as anxious and helpless as she had been in Daxu Village, and she hugged her younger brother and cried.

Before long, Nguyen returned.

She walked hurriedly, having already heard Da Hu recount what had happened on her way here.

Although Da Hu is young, he has been studying a lot recently and his expression skills have improved a lot. Ruan Shi understood what he was saying.

As soon as Madam Ruan entered the door, she took Quan Quan into her arms and said, "Mother, A Yu, you should go and see Fourth Sister. I'll take care of the child at home."

"Okay." The old lady nodded, gave a few more instructions, and then prepared to leave with Shu Yu, taking Xiao Zhen with her.

After thinking for a moment, Madam Ruan asked again, "Should we tell Erbai about this first? He must also want to see Fourth Sister."

Ever since he learned that his fourth sister's husband had disappeared, Lu Erbai had been worried sick. Because of his leg problems, he couldn't search for him everywhere in the mountains and villages like his eldest and third brothers.

But he had some experience searching for Er Ya over the years. Although he hadn't found her yet, he always had some connections in the county. He had been asking around and keeping an eye out for her, but unfortunately, there was no news.

If they find out that their fourth sister has been taken away by the authorities, they'll probably be even more anxious.

The old lady refused, saying, "Forget it, telling him will only make more people worry. We don't know the specifics of the situation at the yamen yet, and we don't know if we'll be able to see Sixing. Let's talk about it when we get back."

Ruan Shi then said nothing more.

The old lady was anxious, but now that Quan Quan was being looked after, she felt relieved. Soon, the group left Liufang Lane and headed straight for the county government office.

As they approached the county government office, Xiao Zhen couldn't help but grab Shu Yu's hand tightly, feeling both scared and flustered.

Shu Yu lowered her head. "It's okay, don't worry."

"Hey, isn't that the village chief of Daxu Village?" Lu Dasong suddenly whispered.

The group looked up and saw three people standing at the entrance of the county government office. They were all looking up at the gate, but their faces were full of worry.

Shu Yu remembered that when they were in Daxu Village, a villager had said that the village chief of Daxu Village had also brought people to the county government.

I never expected to run into you here.

As the group approached, Village Chief Chen of Daxu Village also noticed them.

He didn't recognize her at first, but when he saw Xiao Zhen, he suddenly remembered that she was a member of the Lu family.

Village Chief Chen immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Lu Dasong, saying, "You've all heard about what happened to Yuan Laosi's family, haven't you? Sigh."

He sighed, "We wanted to find out what was going on, but unfortunately we couldn't get into the yamen. Da Shi from our village did have a connection with a former constable, but he's not at the county yamen today. Da Shi went to his house to look for him, so he might come back later. Let's wait a bit longer."

But the junior constable had worked for the former magistrate. Although he hadn't suffered the same fate as the former magistrate, there were still some things he couldn't know, so he could only try his luck.
