Chapter 97 Looking for Zhong Long
"Zhong Laosan, are you still a human being?"
Seeing her son lost, being criticized by thousands of people, and about to be divorced, the third aunt could not accept it. She gritted her teeth and decided to throw in the towel.
"Why did I marry you? It was because of your promise. You told me that you loved me and cared about me, so I married you. But what about you? Ever since I got pregnant with Xiaolong, you've become a different person and you don't even come home."
"Do you think I'm stupid? You tell me every day how busy the factory is? Didn't I meet you at the factory? Don't I know better than you how busy it can be? You just find us annoying! If I don't play mahjong with them, who else can I talk to?"
My third aunt's face was covered with sesame-sized spots due to overwork and haggardness. At this moment, she was about to cry, and her accusations sounded like tears of blood.
"You just pretend to be a good person! Now that my son is lost, do you think I'm not sad? I'm sadder than you!"
"When I was pregnant with our son, you ignored us. Even after we gave birth, and even when he grew up, you still didn't care! Now that our son is lost, aren't you the happiest and most satisfied person? What right do you have to divorce me?!"
In full view of everyone, the third aunt rushed up like a madman and started fighting with Zhong Lao San, pulling his hair and scratching him.
"Zhong Lao San, if you dare to divorce me, I will fight you!"
Zhong Laosan was caught off guard and scratched by her, leaving blood marks on his face. In addition, he was surrounded by people and was a very proud person, so his face immediately turned red.
"You're crazy, bitch! I won't talk to you!"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment at this sudden spectacle, not knowing whether to stop it or not.
After all, this is the Zhong family's family affair, not catching kidnappers.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong were so angry that their eyebrows were twitching. They were embarrassing themselves in front of them every day.
"Pull them apart quickly!" said Old Mrs. Zhong.
"Can't you see your dad is going to die of rage?"
Since she had given the order, the others naturally dared not disobey. The eldest and second eldest Zhong quickly took action to separate the two people who were dizzy from the fight.
Third Aunt's hair was disheveled, like a ghost, and even one of her shoes had fallen off. "Zhong Lao San, come here, aren't you doing well? Why did you run away? Your son is lost, and you can't live either. Let's die together as a family of three."
Zhong Laosan was just a little angry when he heard the first part, but when he heard the second part that she wanted to drag him to death, his face suddenly changed and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"A good man doesn't fight with a woman," he shouted, bluffing. "Don't think I'm afraid of you."
Zhong Siqi witnessed the whole process and wanted to applaud: "Sister, they usually seem to be the most harmonious family, especially this uncle who has always been a doting wife. I didn't expect that he was hiding so many things in private."
"Poverty brings many sorrows to a couple. When disaster strikes, even a husband and wife can turn against each other." Zhong Qiao's eyes were deep and pointed, "It's just the norm in the world."
Ji Hebai was standing behind her and was slightly stunned when he heard that.
"Stop arguing, what's the point?" Old Man Zhong said impatiently, "What's the point of arguing? What's the point of fighting? We should think about how to get Xiaolong back!"
Zhong Laosan and his third aunt woke up as if from a dream.
"Yes, yes." My third aunt had been limp on the ground in despair. After hearing these words, it was as if her turbid mind had been enlightened and suddenly became clear. "My Xiaolong hasn't been found yet. Don't be afraid, Xiaolong. Mom will go find you now."
After saying that, she rushed out the door, muttering nonsense hysterically.
"Why don't you go and take a look?"
Seeing that Zhong Laosan was standing there stupidly, Old Lady Zhong hit him hard on the head with the cane in her hand, wishing she could wake this wooden head up.
"Your son is in trouble, and your wife has run away. As a grown man, can't you have some backbone? Go and see. If something happens to them, you'll just have to wait and see!"
This statement has a hidden meaning.
Zhong Laosan reacted immediately.
Yes, today's incident has caused such a big stir, and with so many people watching, if something really happens to this crazy woman, he will be criticized for the rest of his life. With his reputation ruined, how can he ever marry a new wife?!
"Mom, I'll go now."
Zhong Laosan responded and ran out.
Old man Zhong came forward and talked to several other young men in the compound.
"Thank you for your hard work in catching kidnappers all night long. Now my son Zhong Long has been kidnapped. I would like to trouble you to help find him again."
He was over fifty years old and had barely survived the war, but something like this happened at home. The life or death of his youngest grandson was uncertain. Old man Zhong wiped his tears, his lips trembling, and his cloudy eyes were full of despair.
"I, Zhong, would like to thank you all here."
Old Man Zhong was deeply loved by the young people and respected by the older generation in the compound because of his military achievements when he was young. When something happened to his family, a small number of people wanted to laugh at the joke, but when they heard the almost pleading tone of the elderly man, even the hardest-hearted people softened.
"Uncle Zhong, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to find him." The young man who spoke patted his chest and promised, "Although Zhong Long is a naughty child, when faced with such a situation, everyone will find a way."
"Yes, Old Man Zhong, don't worry too much. We have already called the police. We can look for him together then. Maybe... Zhong Long is a smart kid and he ran away." The person who spoke was Old Man Zhong's chess friend, who was about the same age as him.
"Thank you everyone." Old man Zhong was deeply moved and burst into tears.
A group of people then began to spontaneously search for Zhong Long. Old man and woman Zhong could not sit still and joined the team without listening to any advice.
As the elder, Mr. Zhong naturally had to go too, while Zhong Qiao stayed behind to look after the children to prevent the kidnapper from making a surprise attack. He also asked Zhong Siqi to help watch the door.
But Zhong Qiao stopped them at this time.
"Mom, remember what I said, go look for Zhong Hong's family."
Mr. Zhong immediately reacted: "Was it Zhong Hong's family who kidnapped him?"
Zhong Qiao didn't waste the opportunity to explain: "Dad, you go and look for them first. Remember to be quiet and don't let anyone else know. Bring a few close friends with you and keep their mouths shut to avoid alerting the enemy."
Father Zhong naturally understood the reason and nodded: "Okay."
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong ran out. Zhong Siqi, who always loved to be lazy, stared at their backs for a long time with a serious expression.
"Ji...Brother." He walked up to Ji Hebai, "Can I ask you a favor?"
Ji Hebai glanced at him and nodded: "You go ahead."
"Please take care of my sister."
Zhong Siqi glanced at Zhong Qiao who was holding the child not far away.
"My sister looks calm, but I know her best. After what happened today, she must be afraid to sleep at night and has to stay by Wanwan's side. Please look after them while I help my parents. They're old and can't stand the constant back and forth."
Even though Luo Xiu disliked the Zhong family, he looked at the orphan and widow not far away, and then looked at Zhong Siqi's pleading eyes, and could not bear to refuse.
He was about to persuade Ji Hebai to stay, but Ji Hebai did not give him a chance to reply.
"Okay." He agreed without any hesitation.
"Thank you." Zhong Siqi looked at them gratefully, then took small steps to catch up with Zhong's father and the others.
Behind him, Luo Xiu gave a thumbs up.
"I didn't realize you, Ji Hebai, are such a helpful person. I admire you, brother."
"It's not that I'm helpful." Ji Hebai turned around and stared at him, "It's the Zhong family."
"You've seen Zhong Long before. Zhong Qiao was at home before, and they bullied him, especially this kid. Do you know what he said?"
Ji Hebai took a deep breath and repeated the original words completely, which made Luo Xiu amazed.
"This child has been corrupted by adults. If I were Zhong Qiao and the others, I wouldn't help."
Ji Hebai hummed softly: "But they went to help without saying anything. Now, do you still think that the Zhong family has evil intentions?"
Luo Xiu was speechless.
