Fang Jianguo walked to the library under the scorching sun. The aroma of food from the cafeteria wafted over from afar, but the clean library was deserted and empty.
He felt strange.
I looked left and right, and even searched every corner, but I couldn't see Fang Yumei.
Where have the people gone?
It's noon, and he's not going home to eat, nor is he in the library. Did he go to the cafeteria?
So Fang Jianguo turned around and went to the cafeteria.
In the bustling cafeteria, he saw his sister-in-law Li Shufen and asked:
"Sister-in-law, have you seen my sister Yu?"
Li Shufen looked around in confusion, then shook her head, "No, I didn't see Yumei today. Didn't she go home?"
At this time Fang Jianjun came over and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Shufen explained: "My second brother came to see Yumei, but Yumei didn't go home for dinner."
Fang Jianjun said, "Didn't Yumei go to the county with her mother today? Is her mother back?"
Fang Jianguo was puzzled: "Mom is back, but I didn't see Yumei. Mom said she went to the library, but I went to look for her and she wasn't there either. It's time for dinner at home, why didn't this kid know to go home for dinner?"
Fang Jianguo didn't know, but Fang Jianjun was very aware of his mother's current evil behavior. After all, his own daughter was almost replaced by her own mother in an outrageous way.
He immediately realized what was happening and sternly reminded her, "Then hurry up and go look for her in the county! I'm afraid Yumei was abandoned in the county by her mother!"
Fang Jianguo's heart skipped a beat, but he still couldn't believe it. "Mom wouldn't do such a thing, would she? Even if Yumei got lost, she wouldn't lie."
Fang Jianjun said, "Did you see anyone in the village? No one in the library. How could she not go home for lunch at noon? There was no one in the cafeteria either. Isn't she hungry? Who would go to play with her in the middle of the day? Didn't her mother take her to the county town today?"
Fang Jianguo's heart trembled, "I'll go back and ask Mom."
He quickly turned around and left quickly. When he got home, everyone had finished their meal. He glanced at the table and saw that there were only a few slices of meat left from the cafeteria.
"Mom," Fang Jianguo said with a stern expression, "Did you not bring Yumei back at all?"
Wang Dajuan acted nonchalant: "It seems like I forgot to bring her back."
Hua Gaozhi stood up suddenly, slammed the table, and stared at her fiercely: "What do you mean by seem to have forgotten? Damn old woman! You abandoned my daughter in the county town!"
Wang Dajuan also stood up and snorted coldly, "So what? A money-losing piece of shit is lost, so what? We've been kind enough to raise her to this age!"
A surge of anger rushed into Hua Gaozhi's brain, burning her heart and making her feel anxious and her head was about to explode. She wished she could blow Wang Dajuan to death.
She yelled, "You old woman! You die there and I'll come back to settle the score with you!"
After saying that, she threw the bowl down and immediately ran out of the door. She ran to the village entrance at the fastest speed in her life, ignoring the sweat on her forehead, and said anxiously:
"Master, hurry up! Go to the county town!"
At this time, Fang Jianguo caught up and said, "I'll go look for him too!"
Seeing that the two men were in a hurry, the tricycle driver started the tricycle without saying a word and sped away.
On the way, he asked, "What happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"
Hua Gaozhi burst into tears and spoke at the same time: "That damn old woman at home, that old thing that won't die, she did evil in her previous life and abandoned my daughter to the county town!"
Fang Jianguo's face was gloomy, and his previously honest eyes became fierce and anxious.
Hua Gaozhi cursed and swore all the way, crying as she cursed. The more anxious she became, the more she cursed. "If anything happens to my daughter, I'll chop this wicked old bastard into pieces!"
When the master heard this, he immediately let out a sympathetic sigh and didn't know what to say.
After listening to the scolding along the way, I sighed for her.
He saw Wang Dajuan and Fang Yumei riding in a car in the morning, and he wondered why the old lady had changed her personality today.
Love is like holding back bad intentions.
It's really immoral to abandon the granddaughter you have raised to such a age.
In the early years, people didn’t have enough food to eat and couldn’t afford to support themselves, so it was understandable that they lost their food.
Even so, most people are thrown at the doorsteps of rich families who cannot have children.
Now I don’t need a bite of food, and I have raised it to this size.
I don’t know what the old lady is thinking.
The driver didn't say anything, but just sped up. When they arrived at the county town, before he had time to say anything, he saw the couple throw down a dollar, jump out of the car quickly, and run away in a blink of an eye.
Hua Gaozhi cried out in a sobbing voice: "Yumei! Yumei!"
Fang Jianguo asked everyone he met: "Have you ever seen a girl this tall, with such long hair, wearing a pink short-sleeved shirt..."
Everyone on the street shook their heads.
"I didn't see it. Go ask someone else."
The county town was very small, and the two of them searched everywhere but found nothing, saw no one, and couldn't find out if anyone had seen her.
Hua Gaozhi hated Wang Dajuan even more. How dare this old woman do that!
Then she felt deeply guilty. She knew it clearly, she knew that the old woman didn't like her granddaughter, and she clearly noticed her abnormality this morning, but she didn't become alert.
As a result, her daughter was abandoned by the old woman.
If she had been more careful and suspicious...
She cried, "Fang Jianguo, if we can't find our daughter, don't even think about me giving birth to a son! At worst, we'll just get divorced!"
Fang Jianguo was also upset and sighed, "Oh, let's not talk so much now. Finding our daughter is the most important thing."
"You still remember looking for your daughter! We've been searching for her for ages and still can't find her! If she's been kidnapped, I'll chop your mother to pieces!"
When Hua Gaozhi heard that someone was looking for his daughter, he became anxious and desperate. They searched the entire county but couldn't find her.
Fang Yumei is eight years old now. If she is raised for a few more years, she will be able to have children. Who knows, human traffickers might take advantage of this and kidnap her to marry an old man who can't get married.
When Hua Gaozhi thought of this, his heart ached as if it was about to break.
The two of them were so anxious that they lost their minds. Now Hua Gaozhi suddenly remembered and shouted, "Call the police!"
Fang Jianguo wasn't optimistic: "What's the point of looking for them? They might not even care."
But no matter what, reporting a case first is better than doing nothing.
The two of them went to the police station.
When I finished taking the statement and came out, the sun was already setting.
The remaining heat was still evaporating from the ground, and the afterglow from the west shone through the eaves. The power of the sunlight weakened, but it was still very hot.
The two of them didn't care about the sweat all over their bodies, they just felt cold in their hearts.
Fang Jianguo hadn't eaten since noon, and his stomach was now empty and had started to growl.
But he was in no mood to think about eating.
Instead, Hua Gaozhi said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
When he reached the toilet door, Hua Gaozhi suddenly saw a peach pit dropped on the ground.
She squatted down to pick it up and saw that the peach pit was strung with red thread and carved into the shape of a flower basket - she carved it for her daughter to wear.
She rushed in, found the aunt guarding the toilet, and asked:
"Auntie, have you ever seen a little girl this big..."
