"I... I was saved. Only after meeting you did I have a good life. But the better my life is, the more worried I am about them."
Her voice was thin as a thread, filled with unspeakable sorrow. The tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed, slowly sliding down her cheeks and dripping onto her clothes.
Seeing this, Su Mianmian felt an indescribable sadness in her heart. She walked over, hugged her in her arms, and patted her back gently.
"It's okay, it's okay. You have to trust the police. They will definitely rescue them."
With Su Mianmian's gentle comfort, Liu Xu's emotions gradually calmed down. Although tears were still welling up in her eyes, there was more determination in her eyes.
Su Qingqing had also finished washing up by this time and walked in to lighten the mood. "What are you two doing? Are you keeping a little secret from me?"
"No, no." Liu Xu was anxious, but she couldn't let the two of them be unhappy because of her.
She is still a little sensitive.
Su Qingqing chuckled, "I'm kidding! Just stay here peacefully. The public security comrades will rescue those comrades. You have to trust them."
Liu Xu breathed a sigh of relief. After this incident, Liu Xu felt much more at ease and concentrated on cooking.
After the meal was cooked, Su Qingqing went to call Xiao Ayan, but she couldn't find anyone in the house, which scared Su Qingqing a lot.
I quickly ran to the kitchen, "Mianmian, Ayan is missing."
"ha?"
Su Mianmian took out the freshly steamed steamed buns, but when she heard this, her hands were accidentally burned. She put her hands on her ears and turned to look at Su Qingqing.
"Why is he gone? Where can he go so early in the morning?"
Su Qingqing didn't know either. The person disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"I'll go out and look for it."
After saying that, he was about to go find someone but was stopped by Su Mianmian.
She thought about it and shouted towards the room where Liu Xu and her son were sleeping.
Then the door curtain of the room was lifted and little Ayan's head poked out.
He smiled at them sheepishly and said, "Sister, I'm looking at my little brother. He's cute and can blow bubbles."
Su Mianmian knew this. Recently, this kid has to visit Liu Xu's son every day.
She quipped, "Why, your Toffee and Little Gray are out of favor now?"
"No! After seeing your brother, Ayan can go see Naitang and Xiaohui. They won't be angry with Ayan."
He nodded as he spoke, as if to say, "That's it."
Su Qingqing said angrily: "You little bastard, you scared me to death."
Little Ayan ran out, "Sister Qingqing, I'm sorry!"
Liu Xu: "I'm glad you're okay. Come and eat."
Su Mianmian and Su Qingqing put the meal on the table. Liu Xu had just taken a few bites when she heard a child crying. She put down her bowl and chopsticks and hurried into the house to comfort the child.
When Su Mianmian and the others were almost done eating, Liu Xu came back holding the child.
Little Ayan's eyes lit up when he saw the child in Liuxu's arms looking around with big black eyes, and he scooped a spoonful of porridge and handed it to him.
"Brother. Have some porridge."
The child just looked at it curiously, drooling from the corner of his mouth from time to time. Little Ayan was confused.
"Sister, why doesn't my brother eat?"
"My brother is still young and can't eat it. He can eat it when he grows up a little." Su Mianmian explained.
Hearing this, the little guy fed the spoonful of porridge into his mouth, then shook his head and sighed.
"Oh, it's such a pity that my brother can't drink such delicious porridge."
The three adults were amused by him and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
…
In the evening, Su Mianmian went to the cowshed alone.
"Mianmian, why are you here?" Su Xinzhang looked at his daughter coming here alone with some confusion.
"Dad, I need your help with something." Su Mianmian took out the letter and handed it to Wen Yuexian. "Mom, can you help me check if this is a letter from my uncle?"
Wen Yuexian looked a little serious when she heard Su Mianmian say that. She took the letter and read it carefully.
Seeing this, Su Xinzhang also came over.
After a long while, Wen Yuexian finally spoke, "Yes, this is Big Brother's handwriting."
"You don't know how to open the wooden box mentioned in the letter?"
Su Mianmian nodded. He really didn't know this.
Wen Yuexian spoke slowly, "The key to the wooden box is in the iron box containing money under your father's and my bed. One key is the key to the courtyard house your grandfather gave me, and the other is used to open this wooden box."
After hearing her say that, Su Mianmian also remembered, "No wonder! At that time, I was wondering what that key was used for.
When I went to get the money that day, I opened the iron box and found two keys inside. I knew one of them was the key to the courtyard house, but I didn't know which one was the other, so I just left it in the iron box.
Wen Yuexian nodded and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Do you have the key with you? If so, go back and open the wooden box to see what's inside. I have a feeling your uncle couldn't have just stuffed a few gold bars in there."
"Ah?" Su Mianmian was a little confused.
But she didn't ask anything, but answered Wen Yuexian's questions honestly.
"Yes, I brought it. I brought the iron box from our house."
Wen Yuexian nodded: "That's fine, go back and take a look when you have time."
Su Mianmian: "Is there anything special about this wooden box? Why do you say that?"
At this time, Su Xinzhang came over and said, "I know this. The key to open the wooden box was given to your mother by your grandfather before he left. He said that when they send a wooden box in the future, we can use that key to open it and find out."
Wen Yuexian: "Yes, your father and I were very confused at the time, but I didn't expect your uncle to actually send the things to me now."
Speaking of her family, Wen Yuexian sighed, her tone filled with nostalgia. "I haven't seen your grandpa and his family in years. We used to exchange letters, but we've lost contact since your father and I had an accident."
Su Mianmian put her arm around Wen Yuexian's shoulders and whispered, "Mom, we'll meet again."
Wen Yuexian just thought that her own daughter was comforting her and didn't take it to heart.
The family of three talked for a while, and Wen Yuexian returned the letter to Su Mianmian.
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go back. This missing person case has been making a lot of noise, and you're pregnant now, so stay home and don't run around."
"Got it." Su Mianmian put the letter into her pocket.
After putting it away, she stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going home now! You two should go to bed early."
Su Xinzhang sent his daughter to the door and watched her figure getting farther and farther away until she was out of sight, then he returned to his room.
When Wen Yuexian saw Su Xinzhang coming back, she felt a little worried when she thought about what had just happened.
"Ah Xin, do you think something happened to Big Brother and the others?"
Su Xinzhang held the person in his arms and comforted him.
"No. Dad and big brother are both smart people, there's no way anything could happen to them."
Wen Yuexian nodded, "That's true."
