"What, you're willing too?" Su Luo asked Chen Dazhi.
"Yes, I would!"
Chen Dazhi glanced at Su Luo sideways. If his son could work at a big restaurant, he wouldn't mind quitting whenever he wanted.
"Chen Mengqing, I already have enough people here, and I just received my wages, so I don't have any money left. You shouldn't try to take advantage of me; you should think of other ways."
Su Luo walked away without looking back. She had thought that Chen Dazhi and the others would not dare to come to her to borrow money again, but she did not expect that they would change their methods again. This departure left Chen Dazhi and Chen Mengqing standing to the side at a loss.
"Look at her, look at her, what kind of attitude is that?" Chen Dazhi said, pointing at Su Luo with dissatisfaction.
Chen Mengqing looked at his father. If he hadn't been away from home, the family wouldn't have fallen out with Su Luo to this extent, and now they couldn't even borrow money.
"Alright, Dad, I already told you Su Luo wouldn't agree to this method. You still dragged me into this. It's so embarrassing."
Chen Mengqing went home to see if there were any other options.
...
These past few days, Su Luo has been busy with the construction of the house, including many patterns on the beams and the openwork of the windows. Fan Gaocen still needs to discuss these with Su Luo.
The meaning of "Su Luo" is to keep it as concise and aesthetically pleasing as possible, without making it too complicated.
The fifteenth of August is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but in Nanning, it seems that this day is just an ordinary day for them.
On a beautiful, moonlit night, Su Luo sent Yan Chuan and Yi Huan to play at the edge of the village. Since Zhao Ruyun was also there cooking for the workers, Su Luo didn't have to worry too much about the two children.
In the afternoon, she prepared the reunion dinner for the evening at the kiln, so that the family could eat well and also prepare some snacks so that the four of them could have a good chat and enjoy the moon at night.
Su Luo was full of anticipation, unaware of everything that was happening at the village entrance.
Yan Chuan was sitting in the kitchen reading the Thousand Character Classic, and Zhao Ruyun could see him every time she came in and out.
Yi Huan and Chen Xiaoxiao took Hua Hua to play. The two of them played hide-and-seek with several little girls from the village.
Whenever Yi Huan goes to find her friends, she can immediately find them just by sniffing them with her big yellow dog, Hua Hua.
"Aunt Xiaoxiao, I see you, come out."
Amidst the cacophony of calls, Chen Xiaoxiao emerged from the bushes, pouting.
Then Yi Huan went to find the other friends: "Ah Jiao, Niu Niu, Xian Hua! I found you, you were hiding in the woodpile, hahaha..."
Several little girls were quickly identified and were very unhappy.
"Yi Huan, you can't use Hua Hua to find us. You cheated, so this doesn't count."
Chen Xiaoxiao said unhappily, "Yi Huan, you have to come find us yourself, otherwise we won't play anymore."
"Alright then, I'll look for you again. This time, you don't need to use Huahua to find you."
Yi Huan tied Hua Hua's dog leash to a tree stump in the corner of someone else's wall, closed her eyes, and counted to one hundred.
Chen Xique had been lying in wait at the village entrance for a long time, and all the misfortunes in her family were caused by Su Luo.
If Su Luo hadn't injured them so badly, her brother wouldn't have had the money to make friends.
They've been racking their brains lately so that Chen Mengqing can get a job as an accountant at Hechunlou.
If she can't handle Su Luo, can't she handle this little one?
Seeing that Yi Huan had tied up the big yellow dog to one side, now was the perfect opportunity.
'Su Luo, I, Chen Xique, will make you regret not listening to me,' Chen Xique thought viciously to herself.
"Are you all hidden?"
Yi Huan covered her eyes with her two little hands, and only put them down after asking a question and receiving no response.
"I've come to find you!"
Yi Huan had two small buns in her hair, and her headband was also her favorite red color.
Five-year-old She ran to the woodpile to look for the person. Her friend had learned her lesson and no longer hid in the same spot.
"Little Aunt Xiaoxiao, I see you all, hee hee..."
At such a young age, they have already learned to coax and deceive.
Seeing this, Chen Xique deliberately made a noise to attract Yi Huan's attention.
Hearing a sound not far behind her, Yi Huan smiled and ran over.
Hua Hua seemed to sense something was wrong and kept barking loudly, trying to stop Yi Huan, but unfortunately she was tied up.
It screamed and tried to pull off the leash, its two front paws constantly trying to stand up.
Yi Huan turned around and glanced at Hua Hua, saying, "Hua Hua, stop calling out, or they'll accuse me of cheating again. Be good."
Chen Xique threw a stone further away, and Yi Huan could only follow the sound to find it. When she got to the edge of the village, there was no one there.
"Little Aunt Xiaoxiao, Ajiao, Niuniu, Xianhua, where are you?"
The small figure was completely unaware of the approaching danger until Chen Xique covered Yi Huan's mouth and nose with her hand.
The feeling of suffocation made her fall, and only then did she see the person behind her.
Chen Xique clenched her teeth, her eyes revealing a fierce look.
The thought that her family had become like this, all thanks to Su Luo, filled her with a bellyful of anger that overwhelmed her reason.
"Isn't your mother very powerful? Call her to save you."
Chen Xique pinched Yi Huan's fair face with her right hand, again and again, until Yi Huan's face was swollen, red, and covered with fingernail marks.
"Once you fall into my hands, I will make you wish you were dead."
Chen Xique pulled Yi Huan up, threw her onto a wheelbarrow used by the villagers to haul manure, and headed out of the village.
Su Luo finished cooking just before dusk, and she was going to the village entrance to pick up Zhao Ruyun and the two children to come back for dinner.
Otherwise, they'll eat at the village entrance again, even though I've prepared a delicious meal.
"Grandma, Yanchuan, we're home for dinner. Where's Yihuan?"
When Su Luo arrived at the village entrance, Zhao Ruyun and the others had just finished cooking for the workers. Zhao Ruyun was thinking of asking Yan Chuan to go to the kiln to invite Su Luo over for dinner, but unexpectedly Su Luo came over.
"Yi Huan is playing outside, Yan Chuan, go find her..."
Yan Chuan said "Oh" and went out to find his younger sister.
"Luo Luo, why did you cook for yourself today? That's such a waste."
Zhao Ruyun felt that today was not a special day, and it would be fine to just eat something casually at the entrance of the village.
"Today is a day for family reunion, so our family is going back for a reunion dinner," Su Luo explained.
Upon seeing Su Luo, Chen Xiaoxiao immediately grabbed Su Luo's sleeve and complained, "Sister-in-law, Yi Huan is so mean! She's playing hide-and-seek and won't come looking for us!"
Su Luo squatted down and looked at Chen Xiaoxiao: "I see. Does Xiaoxiao know where Yi Huan went?"
Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head: "I don't know. Yi Huan is gone. She doesn't even want Hua Hua anymore."
Unable to find Yi Huan, Chen Xiaoxiao assumed that Yi Huan had run away and was no longer playing with them.
No one expected that Yi Huan would be murdered in this small village of about a hundred households.
"Mother, I can't find my sister. I only saw Huahua. She's tied under the eaves and keeps crying."
Su Luo sensed something was wrong. No matter how much Yi Huan went overboard, she wouldn't abandon Hua Hua.
Where did this child go?
