Chapter 46
When Shen Yao went to the supply and marketing cooperative to look for someone, he ran into Yu Tong who happened to be off work.
"Cousin? Why are you here? Do you want to buy something?" Yu Tong asked in surprise.
Shen Yao asked her directly: "Did Fu Yue come to see you today?"
"No!" Yu Tong shook his head: "What's wrong?"
Shen Yao asked again: "Do you know where Wu Qiaoer lives?"
Yu Tong and Wu Qiao'er were not very familiar with each other. They just happened to meet at the state-owned restaurant that day. In order to match Chen Yao and Ye Fuyue, the two went out together once. After that, either Wu Qiao'er was busy or she was busy, and the two of them never made time to go out together again.
"I don't know." Yu Tong said, "But she said she took over her mother's job at the cannery. Her family should live in the cannery's staff quarters."
Shen Yao understood: "Okay."
He turned and left.
"Cousin, what happened? Why are you looking for Wu Qiaoer?" Yu Tong caught up and asked.
"Nothing, your cousin's wife may be at Wu Qiaoer's house, I'll go pick her up." Shen Yao rode his bicycle and reminded Yu Tong: "Go home early after get off work, go to crowded places, don't go to places with few people."
After saying that, Shen Yao disappeared on his bicycle.
Chen Yao asked people along the way and finally found out where the cannery's staff quarters were.
When he arrived at the cannery's staff quarters, Shen Yao asked the people there and found out where Wu Qiaoer lived.
Shen Yao knocked on Wu Qiaoer's door, and it was Wu Qiaoer's father who opened the door.
"Who are you looking for?" Father Wu looked at Shen Yao and asked.
"Hello, I'm the man of Wu Qiaoer's friend. I'm here to see Wu Qiaoer. Is she home?"
As soon as Shen Yao finished speaking, Wu Qiaoer's voice rang out in the room.
"Who is it? Who is looking for me?"
Wu Qiaoer walked to the door while talking, and was stunned when she saw Shen Yao standing outside.
"Chen Yao?"
"It's me. Is my wife at your house?" Shen Yao asked.
"No! We separated on the street in the afternoon and went home separately." Wu Qiaoer said.
Shen Yao's heart immediately sank, and he had a bad premonition.
Wu Qiaoer also noticed that Shen Yao's expression was not right, so she asked, "What's wrong? Hasn't Fu Yue returned home yet?"
Shen Yao didn't want to say too much, so he said vaguely: "When I just got off work, she hadn't come home yet. Maybe she has gone home now. I'll go back and see."
Shen Yao turned around and left, quickly getting on his bike and heading home.
While riding his bicycle, he prayed in his heart, hoping that Ye Fuyue had returned home safely.
Shen Yao rode his bike very fast and returned to the compound as quickly as possible.
As soon as he got home, Shen Yao asked, "Mom, is Fu Yue back?"
"Not yet." Chen Guifeng came out of the kitchen and said.
Shen Yao's expression instantly turned much colder.
Chen Guifeng noticed something was wrong and asked, "You looked around but couldn't find her?"
Shen Yao shook his head: "I also went to Wu Qiaoer's house. She said that after she and Ye Fuyue separated in the afternoon, they went back to their respective homes."
Chen Guifeng was anxious: "Where is Fu Yue? Did something happen to her on the way home?"
Shen Yao was also worried in his heart, and his expression became colder: "I'll go out and look for it again."
"I'll go with you." Chen Guifeng took off her apron.
Now that she knew something might have happened to her daughter-in-law, Chen Guifeng could no longer stay at home in peace.
“I’ll go too!” said Shen Shunye, who had been listening to them.
If the second sister-in-law is really lost, it will be a big deal! His second brother will be left without a wife!
"Mom, you and Shen Shun look for her together so you can take care of each other. You go to Fu Yue's parents' house first to see if she has returned home. Every half hour, whether we find her or not, we will meet at home." Shen Yao made arrangements calmly and carefully.
The reason for arranging a meeting at home every half an hour is to avoid the situation where one party has found the person but the other party doesn't know about it and is still looking for her anxiously outside. It is also to avoid the situation where if Ye Fuyue returns home and they don't know about it and are still looking for her anxiously outside.
Chen Guifeng nodded: "Okay."
Originally, the family only had one bicycle. Later, when Ye Fuyue married, she brought the bicycle they had given her as a betrothal gift. Now the family had two bicycles, one for each of Shen Yao and Chen Guifeng.
When they rode their bicycles out, Aunt Xie was cursing at the door.
"She asked her to go out and buy some soy sauce, but she hasn't come back yet. I wonder where she is! She doesn't even cook or light the fire, and I have to do everything!"
Aunt Liang, who lived nearby, heard Aunt Xie's scolding and gossiped, "Who are you talking about? Your Zhong Lan?"
"Who else could it be except her!" Aunt Xie said in a bad tone.
"Isn't Zhong Lan very hardworking? Every time I see her, she is working." Aunt Liang said.
"No matter how diligent she is, there will always be times when she wants to slack off!" Aunt Xie said, "She went out to buy some soy sauce, and it's been almost two hours, and she hasn't come back yet! I think she simply doesn't want to come back to light the fire and cook!"
Aunt Liang shook her head: "That won't do. My daughter-in-law is still the best!"
When Cui Yongfang heard her mother-in-law praising her, she came out of the kitchen and said, "It seems Ye Fuyue hasn't come back yet. The Shen family has gone out to look for her."
Aunt Liang was surprised: "So Chen Yao and Chen Guifeng just rode out on their bikes to look for Ye Fuyue?"
"Yes," Cui Yongfang said, "I saw Ye Fuyue go out with my own eyes this afternoon. I kindly reminded her not to go out so often and to take good care of the house so that when her husband comes home, she doesn't have to worry about anything. Do you know what she said to me?"
"What happened?" asked Aunt Liang.
Cui Yongfang sneered, "She said her husband likes her to go out. She also told me to mind my own business, but she didn't like hearing that and told me to just keep it to myself."
"Bah—" Aunt Liang cursed, "What a shameless thing! You should talk to her less in the future, and don't remind her kindly. Just let her be lazy and muddle-headed. Sooner or later, Shen Yao will get tired of her!"
"I won't remind her anymore. I'll take your kindness for granted." Cui Yongfang said, and then said to Aunt Xie, "I see Zhong Lan often talking to Ye Fuyue. She seems to like Ye Fuyue very much. Aunt Xie, you can't let Zhong Lan and Ye Fuyue get too close. Zhong Lan is such a good person. Be careful that she will be led astray by Ye Fuyue."
"That's right." Aunt Liang agreed, "I see Zhong Lan has been out for so long and hasn't come back yet. She must have learned it from Ye Fuyue."
"You don't learn good things, but instead learn bad things from others. It really makes me angry!" Aunt Xie cursed and went back to the house.
"Mom, isn't Zhong Lan back yet?" asked the eldest brother of the Yao family.
"No!" Aunt Xie said unhappily, "I wonder if your wife learned this from Ye Fuyue. She went out to buy soy sauce and hasn't come back yet. She must be wandering around outside!"
"She just doesn't want to cook for us. She's tired of having to cook every day." Yao Yi said sarcastically.
