Chapter 81 Running Away

After dinner, we sat in the yard for a while and then went back to our rooms to rest.

Even when she lay down on the bed late at night, Meng Ruoxi was not sleepy and suffered from insomnia.

Staring at the dark roof with his dark eyes that were glowing with a cold light, the lonely figure of little Wen Sheng appeared in his mind, as well as his pitiful look with his eyes lowered and crying silently, and his heart ached.

I wonder how he is doing now, and whether his biased mother-in-law and that psychopathic man treat him well.

The cold face twitched in the darkness, and the hands tightly grasped the warm white quilt with small floral patterns, until the knuckles turned white from the force.

Although he knew the truth, he did not want to and was unwilling to admit how his child would be treated coldly.

Little Wen Sheng, who was missed by his mother, ran away from home a long time ago because he missed his mother too much. His little figure looked very lonely under the moonlight, with water droplets falling on the road as he walked, and he cried silently.

Mom, I miss you so much.

"Little boy, why haven't you gone home yet so late? Where are your parents?" Yang Meili reached out and pulled the child's hand, asking worriedly.

At this hour, there was no one on the street. Who would be so stupid as to let such a small child run outside without fear of being beaten by beggars?

The lost and sad little Wen Sheng raised his face and looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared. He was very scared. He pulled back his hand, stared at her vigilantly, and kept backing away, wanting to run away.

My mother said that I couldn’t talk to strangers or go with strangers, so I had to run quickly, otherwise I would be sold to a bad man as his son.

I don't want to be a bad man's son. I just want to be my mother's son.

Seeing the child turning around and about to run, Yang Meili quickly reached out and grabbed him.

"Little boy, don't run around outside so late. Where is your home? Tell me and I'll take you back."

From the child's appearance and clothes, it can be seen that the family conditions are good. He is a treasure in the hands of his parents, so I must send him back.

Xiao Wensheng struggled desperately, baring his teeth and glaring at the strange woman with ferocity in his eyes.

The child's violent reaction made Yang Meili feel helpless. "Little boy, I'm not a bad person. Don't be afraid. Just tell me where your home is or who your parents are. I'll send you back home and leave right away."

Hearing this, little Wen Sheng struggled even more fiercely.

I don't want to go home! I want to go find my mom!

He struggled hard but couldn't get free, so he lowered his head, opened his little mouth, and bit the stranger's hand hard.

The white millet-sized teeth flashed with a cold light, as if they wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from this hand.

Yang Meili felt pain and immediately withdrew her hand.

Seeing this, Xiao Wensheng quickly ran into an alley and escaped.

When Yang Meili recovered from the pain in her hand and raised her head, the child was no longer in front of her. She couldn't help but curse in her heart.

Damn it! How can such a young child be so cunning!

I wanted to send him home with good intentions, but not only did he not appreciate it, he even turned around and bit me back. It's really true that good intentions are not rewarded!

Forget it, after all the efforts, there is no result. It all depends on the kid's luck from now on.

Whether you are found and brought home by your parents or taken away by a beggar is none of your business.

Li Taohua was sleeping soundly and had no idea that Xiao Wensheng, who was already asleep, would sneak out. If Xiao Wenzhu hadn't knocked on the door in the middle of the night to tell her, she would probably not have learned the news until the next morning.

In a panic, he rode his bicycle and took little Wenzhu to look for his eldest son, thinking in his heart that he had committed a sin and chanting Amitabha.

May Buddha bless me and find my child safely. Otherwise, how will I explain to my son when he comes back?

Xiao Wenzhu asked expressionlessly, "Grandma, aren't we going to look for my brother?"

Shouldn't I go look for my brother if he's missing? Why did my grandma take me to my uncle's house?

Is it that the bad grandma doesn’t want to find my brother at all!

I was extremely angry, and my calm eyes turned into one of hatred.

Listening to Xiao Wenzhu's childish and cold voice, Li Taohua said unhappily without even turning her head, "Your uncle is capable and can help us find your brother faster."

I grumbled in my heart that it was not my fault for being biased; the twins were just not as lovable as my grandchildren.

A child who was just over two years old had grown up and knew to run away from home.

The one behind me is particularly cunning and often plots against my little grandson openly or secretly. However, they are all trivial matters that do not harm me, so I turn a blind eye and do not bother with him.

All in all, twins are not easy to deal with.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the eldest son's house and the bicycle stopped with an emergency brake.

Reaching out and taking Xiao Wenzhu down from the back seat and putting him on the ground, Li Taohua clenched her fists and knocked hard on the door.

"Yanchu, open the door quickly, something big has happened, your nephew is missing."

Shi Yanchu had always been a light sleeper. When he heard the knock on the door, he sat up in bed, got out of bed, put on his shoes, and went to open the door.

Guan Meiling woke up in a daze and followed her husband to check on the situation.

As soon as the door opened, Li Taohua told her eldest son, "Wen Sheng is missing. Take some people to look for him."

Shi Yanchu's face suddenly darkened, "Mom, when did Wen Sheng disappear?"

Li Taohua looked annoyed. "How would I know that? Stop talking nonsense and go find someone. Your brother entrusted the two children to me to take care of, but now Wen Sheng is missing. If I can't find him, how can I explain to your brother?"

After calming down and thinking about it, he realized that Wen Sheng must have run out to look for his escaped daughter-in-law, and he started to scold his daughter-in-law in his heart.

It's a good life, but there are so many troubles. If Wen Sheng can't be found, or if he is taken away by a beggar, how will she live with her conscience for the rest of her life!

Shi Yanchu's wrinkled brows relaxed and he comforted his anxious mother, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely bring Wen Sheng back safe and sound."

He turned to his wife and said, "Meiling, take Mom and Wenzhu to the house to sleep."

Guan Meiling's confused mind was completely clear. She looked at her husband with great trust and said, "You must bring Wen Sheng back. Otherwise, when your sister-in-law comes back and finds out that Wen Sheng is missing, she will be very sad."

Shi Yanchu's mouth stiffened for a moment.

The wife is really so naive and stupid. Would she be sad about the cruel brother-in-law who abandoned her husband and children? It's simply ridiculous!

He restrained his expression and said softly to his wife, "Take good care of Mom and Wen Zhu."

Guan Meiling nodded seriously, "I will!"

He was worried about Xiao Wensheng in his heart, and his expression became anxious.

How could such a healthy child disappear? My mother-in-law is so useless that she can't even take care of a child.

Shi Yanchu went back to the house, changed his clothes and went out. He was not worried about Xiao Wensheng's safety.

As long as he doesn't leave the city, I will be able to bring him back safely.

Guan Meiling wanted to take her mother-in-law and little Wenzhu to sleep in the house, but her mother-in-law waved her hand and said impatiently, "Where can I sleep now? I can't sit still unless I see Wen Sheng in person."

Xiao Wenzhu also shook his head, "Aunt, I want to wait for my brother to come back."

Not to mention that my mother-in-law and Xiao Wenzhu had no mood to sleep, I myself had no mood to sleep either.

Guan Meiling said no more, and the others just waited in the yard.

After a while, Li Taohua couldn't sit still anymore and stood up and said.

"Meiling, you take good care of the child. I'll go out to look for him." She turned around and was about to leave.

Guan Meiling quickly grabbed her mother-in-law and said, "Mom, don't leave. Yan Chu said he can bring Wen Sheng back intact, so he will definitely bring Wen Sheng back intact. We should believe him."

The trust in her husband is beyond everything and cannot be questioned by anyone.

Li Taohua shook off her eldest daughter-in-law's hand and insisted on going out to look for her. "One more person means more strength. I can't just sit there and wait for death."

Xiao Wenzhu opened her mouth slightly and whispered, "Grandma, I want to go find my brother too."

Li Taohua glanced at him with a look of disgust on her face, "Don't make trouble anymore, or your brother will find you and you will be gone."

Xiao Wenzhu fell silent immediately and lowered his head.

If you don’t want to go, then don’t go. Why is grandma so fierce?
