However, Lin Lao San didn't have to worry for too long, because He Xiaoyue had already gone straight to chase Lin Ran and the others.
"Hey? Xiaoyue? What are you doing?"
"Don't dawdle here, hurry up and help."
Seeing that He Xiaoyue was almost out of sight, Lin Laosan had no choice but to catch up with her.
Come on, there's no need to hide it now.
When the two caught up with Lin Ran and the others, they had just arrived at the bus station.
Shen Wenfang walked around the bus station inside and out, even checking the toilet, but still couldn't see Cao Baozhu.
She was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Where is he? Where did this child go?
We have searched every possible place in the commune, where else could she go?
Please don’t let anything happen!”
At this time, she didn't have the mind to find out how Lin Lao San brought He Xiaoyue here.
There is strength in numbers, so we can only help look for it together.
Among the four people present, Lin Laosan was the most familiar with the commune.
Lin Laosan asked Lin Ran and the others which places they had looked for, then thought about where they could go in the commune, and finally thought of a place.
"By the way, Mom, little sister, have you looked in that abandoned old house at the end of the street?"
"Huh? There's a house in the back? We didn't know that."
Shen Wenfang looked bewildered when she heard this, and even Lin Ran was confused as well.
She came to the commune only a few times.
Although the original owner had come here many times to study before.
But like myself, every time I almost only went to the supply and marketing cooperative, Aunt Shen's house, the bus station, and the state-owned restaurant.
I seldom go to other places, let alone places as far as the end of the street.
But now is not the time to talk about this. Now that we have a goal, let’s go and take a look.
The group of four soon arrived at the place Lin Lao San mentioned.
The four searched the dilapidated house with leaks everywhere and a half-collapsed roof, but still couldn't find it.
It was He Xiaoyue who suddenly shouted.
"Auntie, Ranran, come and look, there are footprints here."
When the three heard this, they immediately gathered around.
Sure enough, I saw two pairs of footprints, one large and one small, printed on the dust accumulated at the door.
Lin Ran tried to demonstrate with his feet and finally came to a conclusion.
"It should be a man and a woman."
"And he should have just come here in the past two days."
He Xiaoyue added immediately.
"Look, the wall above the footprints is almost completely free of dust, but the area next to it is very dirty. Someone must have leaned over there and wiped off all the dust."
After hearing this, even Shen Wenfang reacted.
A man and a woman secretly hid here to meet secretly. It seemed that no one else could do this except Cao Baozhu and Wu Wenjie.
Seeing Shen Wenfang's gloomy face and silence, Lin Ran had no choice but to stand up and say:
"Maybe Baozhu has returned home now. Let's go to her house and take a look."
After hearing this, Shen Wenfang still didn't say anything, but took the lead to go out.
The three people behind looked at each other and hurriedly followed.
Originally, Lin Ran was indifferent to the matter between Cao Baozhu and Wu Wenjie, but now she is a little angry.
It really troubles these relatives.
In addition, she knew that Shen Wenfang was also angry at the moment. Not only was she disappointed with Cao Baozhu, but she was also embarrassed that her daughter-in-law knew about the ugly things going on in her family.
Fortunately, she knew that He Xiaoyue didn't care about these things.
The group of four soon arrived at the family compound again.
But before entering the gate, Lin Lao San suddenly pointed at the big tree at the entrance of the alley and said:
"Look, is that person standing behind that tree Wu Wenjie?"
Lin Ran looked in the direction of the voice and saw Wu Wenjie hiding behind a tree and peeking out.
Shen Wenfang had also seen Wu Wenjie, but he looked a little strange at the moment.
"What is he doing hiding here? Where's Baozhu? Did he go back?"
Lin Ran also felt strange, and subconsciously turned around to look in the direction of Aunt Shen's house, and then saw Cao Baozhu running out with a cloth bag in her arms.
She immediately took a few people and hid.
Then he whispered to Lin Lao San:
"Third brother, go call my aunt over quickly."
Shen Wenfang wanted to ask what was going on, then she saw Cao Baozhu walking towards Wu Wenjie like a thief.
Lin Laosan didn't delay any longer and ran to the supply and marketing cooperative.
At this time, Cao Baozhu had already walked to Wu Wenjie and handed the cloth bag in her arms to Wu Wenjie.
Shen Wenfang frowned and was very dissatisfied.
"What's in that bag? It looks quite thick. What is Baozhu giving to Wu Wenjie?"
"money."
No one knows what is in there better than Lin Ran, because Wu Wenjie is most in need of money now.
Otherwise, why would he go to Cao Baozhu, that big fool, again?
"What? Money? How much does it cost to make something that thick?
Did Baozhu steal all the Cao family's wealth and give it to that scumbag?
How can this be?
No, we have to go and catch him, we can’t let him take the money away.”
As he said that, Shen Wenfang rolled up his sleeves and rushed out.
But he was stopped by Lin Ran.
"Mom, don't worry, wait a minute."
Shen Wenfang was puzzled.
"What are you waiting for? That's your aunt's life savings. We can't let this scumbag take it away."
"Of course I'm waiting for my aunt to come. Doesn't she believe Cao Baozhu is still thinking about Wu Wenjie? Shouldn't she let her see her good daughter with her own eyes?
Otherwise, people will think we are deliberately wrongly accusing Cao Baozhu."
Seeing Lin Ran's calm and composed look, Shen Wenfang seemed to be infected and gradually calmed down.
After he came to his senses, he realized that Lin Ran's approach was right.
After all, this is the Cao family's family affair. They can only lend a hand but cannot interfere.
No matter what mistakes Cao Baozhu made, they are still family, and it is not her turn as a concubine to interfere.
Seeing that Shen Wenfang hadn't said anything, Lin Ran was afraid that she would worry so she comforted her again.
"It's okay, we're watching over him and won't let Wu Wenjie get away.
And even if he ran away, it would be useless, because the monk can escape but the temple cannot."
The fact was just as Lin Ran thought. Wu Wenjie did not leave immediately after getting the money.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, but Cao Baozhu is reluctant to be separated from him.
The two of them stayed in the alley for a long time.
Until Lin Lao San and Aunt Shen Si came over, the two of them had not yet come out of the alley.
"Cao Baozhu, why don't you get out here!"
Following Fourth Aunt Shen’s roar, the two people in the alley trembled in fear.
"What should I do? Why did my mother come back suddenly?"
Cao Baozhu was as anxious as an ant on hot pan.
But at this time, Wu Wenjie could no longer care about her.
If he had known earlier, he should have left immediately after getting the money.
I shouldn't have continued to deal with Cao Baozhu until now just because I was afraid that she would become suspicious.
He squeezed the cloth bag in his arms. No, he had to run quickly.
If Fourth Aunt Shen caught him, he would definitely not be able to keep the money in his hands.
Thinking of this, Wu Wenjie immediately shook off Cao Baozhu and ran away.
But the next second he was blocked by Lin Laosan who was guarding the entrance of the alley.
