Chapter 173: Father and son Wang Hui ran away, and Du Jianguo also hated his father...
Wang Ying frowned. "He ran off with someone? Who did he run off with? Did they see it with their own eyes?"
Li Fengju's nose was red from the cold. She sniffed and said, "Du Jianguo said he woke up and found Huihui gone. The suitcase at home was missing, and the money and passbook were gone. He said Wang Hui might have run away with someone."
"That means you didn't see it with your own eyes, so you're just talking nonsense," said Wang Ying.
"Mom and Dad, come in and talk." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"No, let's look around again." Wang Yongren said.
"You come in first." Wang Ying said as he gathered his coat, with a firm attitude, and turned around after speaking.
Wang Yongren and Li Fengju did not dare to disobey, and they followed Wang Ying into the yard. Zhao Yunsheng took the bicycle handle from Wang Yongren and went to park the bicycle.
After entering the main hall, Wang Ying raised his hand and asked them to sit on the sofa. Wang Yongren and Li Fengju sat down awkwardly with their legs supported. Both of them had confused looks on their faces. Li Fengju looked a little ashamed, and Wang Yongren had anger on his face.
"I told me yesterday that something was wrong with Wang Hui. She asked me to bring Huanhuan back for no reason. If she wanted to run away, she would have run far away. But we don't know whether she ran away alone or with someone. What are you going to do now?" Wang Ying asked the old Wang couple.
Li Fengju looked at Wang Ying bewilderedly. "Yingzi, what do you think? We really... don't know where to find her... She's usually at home..."
Wang Ying interrupted Li Fengju and said, "Report it to the police."
"Report, report to the police?" Li Fengju was stunned.
"Yes," Wang Ying said, "We can't let the Du family lead us by the nose. If they say Wang Huigen has run away, you should report them to the police and say they murdered Wang Hui."
"This...will this work?" Wang Yongren frowned.
Wang Ying looked at the two of them and said, "Has it ever occurred to you that this might actually be possible? You just believe whatever the Du family says?"
Wang Yongren and Li Fengju were both stunned. Now that Wang Huiren was not at the Du family, anything was possible. Why should they just do whatever the Du family said?
"I understand." Wang Yongren said.
Wang Ying added, "We can report it to the police and have them help us find the person."
"That's the only way," Li Fengju said, "Then Huanhuan..."
"Huanhuan is staying with me for the time being." Wang Ying's face was gloomy. Thinking about what Wang Hui said yesterday, Wang Ying was furious. For some unknown reason, this person ran away and left their daughter to her! How could she think of this!
Wang Ying then asked the old Wang couple, "Have you noticed her seeing other men? Or is there something going on at the Du family? Why would she run away from home when she's living a peaceful life, abandoning her own daughter?"
From Wang Ying's perspective, Wang Hui took good care of Huanhuan. Whenever she saw Huanhuan, her clothes were clean, her hair was neatly combed, and her nails were neatly manicured, with no dirt in the crevices. This showed how much she cared for Huanhuan. If she cared, she wouldn't have abandoned her child for no apparent reason.
Li Fengju sighed and slapped her thigh. "Who knows her? I've never heard her mention any man. Before, I asked her to divorce Du Jianguo, and she told me how great the Du family was. They gave her both father and son's salaries, and hired someone to take care of her mother-in-law... Why did she run away? Could she really have been harmed by them?"
"Go to the police at dawn and tell them everything," Wang Ying said. "By the way, tell them the truth about Du Jianguo's connections, and emphasize that."
"Hey, hey." Li Fengju responded, "Yingzi, could it be that Huihui was really killed by the Du family?"
"I don't know, so we need to report it to the police. Something must have happened at the Du family, otherwise Wang Hui wouldn't have sent Huanhuan to me. She doesn't want her husband anymore, and she doesn't want Huanhuan to stay at the Du family. There must be a reason." Wang Ying said, "I told you to report that the Du family harmed Wang Hui, and another thing is that you can't let Huanhuan go back to the Du family."
"That's right." Li Fengju nodded. "Huanhuan can't be given to their family."
"Should we continue looking for it?" Wang Yongren asked.
"Look for him, but don't look anywhere else. Go to Du's house and make sure we dig three feet deep to find him," said Wang Ying.
"I understand." Li Fengju agreed. With Wang Ying around, she felt more at ease and gradually knew what to do.
"Then let's go back and report the case as soon as it gets light," said Wang Yongren.
"You've registered. Come and tell me that I won't go with you. I'll wait at home in case Du Jianguo comes to pick up Huanhuan." Wang Ying said.
"Okay, don't worry, we know what to say." Li Fengju said.
Zhao Yunsheng sent the old Wang couple out the door, and when he returned to the main room, he saw Wang Ying still sitting there. He walked up to her and took her cold hand.
"You must be frozen. It's still early. Go upstairs and stay there for a while." Zhao Yunsheng said.
Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng went upstairs and returned to the bed. Wang Ying looked at Huanhuan's sleeping face and sighed deeply.
"Yingzi, your intuition is always right. Your younger sister was acting abnormally yesterday. Actually, she was entrusting her child to you." Zhao Yunsheng also looked at Huanhuan.
"I really owe her!" Wang Ying said gritting her teeth, thinking that her sister was really a debt collector who had come to collect debts from her in both lives!
"She is quite interesting. She doesn't get along with you and ran away, but she still trusts you the most and wants to hand her daughter over to you," said Zhao Yunsheng.
Wang Ying said nothing. She looked up and saw Huanhuan's clothes lying on the chair. She nudged Zhao Yunsheng and said, "Go check if there's a note or something in Huanhuan's clothes."
Zhao Yunsheng got out of bed, searched all the pockets on Huanhuan's clothes, and shook his head, saying, "No."
"Have you looked through it carefully?" Wang Ying asked.
Zhao Yunsheng searched again but still couldn't find it. He shook his head at Wang Ying.
Wang Ying searched around Huanhuan's clothes again but couldn't find it.
Wang Ying said angrily, "She left so casually without even saying a word!"
Zhao Yunsheng returned to the bed, hugged Wang Ying, and said, "Don't be angry, sleep a little longer. She ran away, don't think too much about it, just think of her as giving our family another daughter."
Wang Ying turned to look at Zhao Yunsheng: "You really are open-minded."
"Then what should we do? Didn't your little sister tell you yesterday that this is your only niece, related to you by blood?" Zhao Yunsheng said, "Huanhuan is a poor child, but also a good child."
Wang Ying was silent. Huanhuan was indeed a poor and good child, and he could not let this child return to the Du family.
"But the Du family only has this one heir, so they probably won't let her go easily," said Zhao Yunsheng.
"I don't know if Wang Hui has any backup plans. She handed the child to me without leaving me a single word. She must have had some backup plan." Wang Ying thought about Wang Hui's thinking and felt that she might not have any. "If she really doesn't have any, then we can only sue her family and ask them to hand over Wang Hui."
"Oh, I'm really curious why she ran away from home and where she went." Zhao Yunsheng sighed.
Wang Ying suddenly thought of Zhang Xiumin, whom she met in Beijing last year, and said, "She might have gone to Beijing to find Zhang Xiumin." It is also possible that she went to the south. They had been living in the south in their previous life, so Wang Hui might very well go to Shenzhen.
Zhao Yunsheng reached out and turned off the light, hugged Wang Ying tightly, and said, "No more talking, let's sleep a little longer."
Wang Ying hummed and closed her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep. She thought of Wang Hui leaning against the doorframe yesterday, watching them play "Eagle Catches Chicken." She also thought of Wang Hui's last look back at them when she left her parents' home yesterday. She sighed inwardly.
In her two lifetimes, she had never slapped Wang Hui in the face. The next time she saw her, she would definitely slap her hard twice.
Wang Ying felt like she had just fallen asleep when she was woken. When she opened her eyes, it was already daylight. Zhao Yunsheng was not around, and the two children were still asleep.
Wang Ying looked at Huanhuan and cursed Wang Hui and the Du family in his heart.
Wang Yingcai got dressed and went downstairs after the people who came downstairs to pay New Year's greetings left.
"I was just about to go up and call you," Zhao Yunsheng said, "Are the two children still asleep?"
"Well, they have been too naughty these past two days, let them sleep." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng whispered, "I talked to my parents, and they both agreed that Huanhuan could stay with us."
Wang Ying smiled at Zhao Yunsheng, and Zhao Yunsheng pinched Wang Ying's face: "It's no big deal, just think of it as us having two children."
Wang Ying said nothing, smoothed her hair, and went to wash. As she brushed her teeth, Wang Ying thought, "Just like having two children," wouldn't that be unfair to Yueyue? Yueyue liked her older sister, but that didn't mean she wanted to share her parents. They had to consider Yueyue's feelings; she couldn't feel that her older sister was sharing her parents' love, nor could Huanhuan feel like she was living under someone else's roof...
When Wang Ying finished washing up and returned to the main room, breakfast was already on the table.
The four adults sat down to eat breakfast, and no one mentioned Wang Hui and Huanhuan.
After breakfast, Wang Ying went upstairs again. She sat at the table, thinking about how to tell Huanhuan about this. The Du family would definitely come to ask for her. What if Huanhuan wanted to go back with Du Jianguo? After all, he was her biological father.
Wang Ying looked at his watch and thought that the Du family was really interesting. They didn't come to pick up Huanhuan for such a long time.
"Auntie, I'm awake."
Huanhuan's voice interrupted Wang Ying's thoughts. Wang Ying turned and smiled at her: "Huanhuan is awake, then you should wake up your sister too."
Huanhuan carefully nudged Yueyue: "Yueyue, wake up! Sister, wake up."
Yueyue was woken up by Huanhuan. When she saw Huanhuan, she smiled and said, "Ah, it's my sister! My sister is still here!"
"I'm here, I'm here." Huanhuan said, "Let's get up. Can Yueyue dress herself?"
"I don't know how, sister put it on for me."
Wang Ying carried both of their clothes to the bed, and Huanhuan actually began to dress Yueyue. However, Huanhuan wasn't much older than Yueyue, so he quickly struggled to find the collar but not the cuffs.
"Let me help you put on your clothes." Wang Ying walked over with a smile and helped the two children put on their clothes.
While Wang Ying was dressing Huanhuan, she asked, "Huanhuan, did Mommy say anything to you yesterday before you went to Grandma's house?"
Huanhuan tilted her head and thought about it, then said, "Mom told me to go to grandma's house and be nice to my sister."
"Is there anything else?" Wang Ying asked again.
"Hmm..." Huanhuan tilted her head again, "I can't remember."
"Did your mother give you anything?" Wang Ying asked again.
Huanhuan shook her head again.
Wang Ying gave up. Wang Hui really left without saying a word to her or even to her own daughter!
Wang Ying took the two children downstairs for breakfast. Chen Xiuqin prepared boiled eggs, millet porridge, and small steamed buns for them. The two sisters sat together and ate happily. Huanhuan peeled an egg for Yueyue. Yueyue said she couldn't finish it, so she broke off a small piece of the bun and fed it to Huanhuan.
Seeing Wang Ying staring at the two children, Chen Xiuqin whispered, "It's best for Huanhuan to stay. I don't think you want to have another child, so let her stay to keep Yueyue company. Before, we had Dongbao, and now we have Huanhuan. Look how much Yueyue likes her. Don't overthink it."
"Thank you, Mom." Wang Ying sincerely thanked Chen Xiuqin.
"You're being polite to me again," Chen Xiuqin said. "Look, the Du family hasn't come to pick up the child yet. They don't care about the child at all. They don't have a woman at home right now. You must be worried about returning Huanhuan. As for your parents, I think you and your younger sister know why you can't let them take care of the child."
Wang Ying, seeing Chen Xiuqin had said this, nodded and said, "I understand, Mom."
"Well, that's good to know. It's no big deal." Chen Xiuqin said and patted Wang Ying's hand.
After the two children finished their breakfast, they went upstairs together to play with toys. Gu Xuan brought a lot of novel toys for Yueyue from abroad, such as dolls, building blocks, cars... Usually Yueyue played alone and got bored after a while. Now she was with Huanhuan, and the two of them had a lot of fun.
Around nine o'clock, almost ten o'clock, Li Fengju and Wang Yongren came over.
Chen Xiuqin didn't ask any more questions and went upstairs to call Wang Ying down.
Wang Ying went downstairs and asked, "What's the matter? Did you find the person?"
"Where can we find her? We thought Huihui might have gone back this morning, so we went to the Du family. Those two were so rude, insisting Huihui ran off with someone." Li Fengju said angrily, "I insisted too, saying they killed Huihui and asked them to return their daughter."
Wang Ying nodded: "Well, then what?"
"Since we couldn't reach an agreement, we left the Du family's house and reported it to the police," Li Fengju said. "But the police said Huihui had been missing for a short time and might have just gone to a relative or friend's house, so it was difficult to file a case. They just said they would go to the Du family's house to investigate."
"Let's see what the Du family says next. They haven't come to pick up Huanhuan yet. I don't know what that means," said Wang Ying.
"I think Du Jianguo looks a little abnormal, so he probably knows something. But with his father around, he can hardly say a word. Du Weimin is not at home most of the time, so we don't spend much time with him. I didn't expect he is such a vicious dog." Wang Yongren said angrily.
Wang Ying said, "Something must have happened at the Du family, otherwise Wang Hui wouldn't have run away for no reason. They said Wang Hui has someone outside, so you should tell us who that person is."
"Something happened! I saw that Sun Qiaoling's face looked wrong. Although she couldn't speak, her expression couldn't lie. When she saw me, she held my hand, shook her head and cried. She couldn't say a complete sentence and it was hard to understand." Li Fengju said.
"They won't admit anything even if there is something wrong. Now we can only wait for a few days and then go to the police," said Wang Ying.
"What about Huanhuan?" Li Fengju said, "How about going back with us?"
"If I go back with you, can you protect us if the Du family comes looking for us?" Wang Ying asked. "Also, before Wang Hui left yesterday, she said she would leave Huanhuan to me. Mom heard that, right?"
"I heard it." Li Fengju's voice trailed off. She was truly a useless mother, a sinner. She bore a great responsibility for Huihui's departure. Huihui didn't trust her, and when things got bad, she'd rather run than tell them. Even though she and her elder sister had a lifetime of conflict, a grudge over stealing her husband, she still trusted her elder sister, certain she wouldn't mistreat Huanhuan.
Chen Xiuqin then spoke up, "My dear relatives, Huanhuan will stay here for now. Don't worry, I will definitely take care of her like my own granddaughter. If you have time, come over more often and we will take care of her together."
Li Fengju nodded. After thinking about it, she decided that she should not take care of Huanhuan anymore. She definitely couldn't do it well.
The two children played affectionately all day, not arguing a word, as close as a family. The Du family didn't come to pick Huanhuan up until evening. Huanhuan had no idea her mother had abandoned her and gone somewhere unknown.
At night, the two children fell asleep first, and Wang Ying and Zhao Yunsheng chatted at night.
Zhao Yunsheng said, "Yingzi, we need to decorate their rooms as soon as possible."
"Well, I'll take Huanhuan shopping for some clothes and daily necessities next week when I'm free," Wang Ying said. Huanhuan is two years older than them, and she's not their biological child, so it's not ideal for her to share a bed with them. Even Yueyue can be allowed to sleep on her own.
"Huanhuan is going to school soon, and her household registration problem also needs to be resolved." Zhao Yunsheng said.
"Let's see when the Du family comes to pick them up, and then we'll see if there's anything we can do," said Wang Ying.
The Du family's father and son were already extremely worried and asked people everywhere to find Wang Hui, but no one thought of taking Huanhuan back first.
The two men searched outside for a whole day but could find no news about Wang Hui. Wang Hui was a housewife who had been working for a while and rarely socialized with her colleagues, so where could they get any information?
The Wang family didn't know why Wang Hui ran away, but they did know. It was probably something they had planned, and Wang Hui found out, frightening her into running away. As for why she didn't tell her family, but instead ran off on her own, they couldn't figure it out. They probably feared embarrassment.
When Du Weimin came back from the construction site this time, he saw that Du Jianguo and Wang Hui still hadn't conceived, so he went to Du Jianguo to discuss it. They should secretly have sex at night and switch places...
Du Jianguo, of course, refused, saying that Wang Hui knew he was no match for her and would definitely be caught. Unexpectedly, Du Weimin had even prepared props and excuses. He brought back a box of medicine and told Du Jianguo to tell Wang Hui that it was imported, high-quality medicine and that she could just take it, so she wouldn't be caught.
The two of them were discussing that night and ended up arguing. It was indeed a bit loud, but at that time they were sure that Wang Hui was asleep and thought no one could hear it...
Now that Wang Hui had run away, Du Jianguo resented his father. But he could only feel the hatred in his heart, unable to express it. His salary had previously been controlled by Wang Hui, and when she left, she took all the money with her. He had very little money left, and he still had to rely on his father.
The father and son didn't get home until after 8pm. When they got home, they remembered that Aunt Wu didn't come home during the Chinese New Year, and Sun Qiaoling had been hungry at home all day...
"Go get your mother something to eat." Du Weimin ordered.
Du Jianguo said nothing and went to the kitchen to make a bowl of noodles for Sun Qiaoling.
Du Jianguo fed Sun Qiaoling, but she refused to eat and just cried.
"Mom, just eat something!" Du Jianguo advised impatiently.
Du Weimin approached and smelled something. He said, "Your mother's bedding may be dirty. Please change it for her."
"How can I change it, Dad? You should do it." Du Jianguo said.
"My dear son, what are you afraid of! When you were a child, didn't your mother change your poop and pee?" Du Weimin glared at Du Jianguo fiercely! The more he looked at this useless son, the angrier he became.
Finally, the father and son changed Sun Qiaoling's bedding together. They hadn't been home all day, and the quilt under Sun Qiaoling was no longer comfortable to look at or smell. After changing the bedding, Du Jianguo left and asked Du Weimin to change Sun Qiaoling's clothes.
Du Jianguo was outside the door, and heard his father changing his mother's clothes while cursing her for not dying sooner. She was a burden to him, the children, and the whole family. He also said that Wang Hui ran away because she didn't want to serve her anymore... She was a disaster...
Du Jianguo shuddered, and suddenly realized one thing: his mother couldn't die! His mother had to live well. If his mother died, his father would definitely marry another woman and have another son! His father would definitely do it. He even wanted to get his hands on Wang Hui!
No, Du Jianguo absolutely cannot let his father remarry and have a younger brother. What will he have left in this family then?
If only his father was like him, then we can see what evil thoughts he could have! Du Jianguo thought viciously.
