Chapter 40 The Big Clam is Lost
Baoya promised to tell only her grandmother about the matter between Jingzhen and Nanxuan.
Grandma is the one who makes the decisions on all matters big and small at home. Brother Xiaojing doesn't want too many people to know about them, so she will just tell grandma.
After listening to what Bao Ya and Yun Chenglu said, Zhao Zhilan knew that Jing Zhen and Nan Xuan were probably not ordinary people. They looked more like hermit masters with their little apprentices.
She was not very educated, but she had heard a lot of legends.
The hermits and masters are all very capable. They are naturally very happy that they are interested in her grandson and granddaughter.
He immediately told the two children to keep their mouths shut, and then told Baoya and Yun Chenglu to take good care of the river clams.
The two children nodded together, and she went to clear the table, and the family prepared to have dinner.
Baoya and Yun Chenglu went to the yard with a backpack. Including the previous one, they now had five big river clams. If they wanted to raise them together, they would not be able to put them in a copper basin.
Yun Chenglu put the backpack on the ground, and Baoya took out one clams after another, wanting to see how many clams could be placed in the copper basin.
She put the clam in her hand into the basin and suddenly exclaimed, "Second brother, the clam inside is gone!"
"Let me see?" Yun Chenglu also came over, but the basin was empty, with only some fine sand and half a basin of water.
"Is it really gone?!" He was also surprised. River clams have no legs, so they shouldn't run away by themselves.
As they were talking, Yunhua and Yunyue came out from the west wing: "Second brother, Baoya, you are back?"
"Third sister, fourth sister, our river clams are gone." Baoya pointed to the empty basin and showed it to the two of them.
Yunhua and Yunyue looked at each other, neither of them knowing.
They helped grandma weave futons in the afternoon. When they were tired, they went back to the house to take a nap. They just woke up when they heard the noise in the yard.
"Where will it go?" Baoya was a little anxious. The river clams belonged to Jingzhen and his master. What would happen if one was lost?
At this moment, she faintly heard very low sobbing sounds coming from a corner of her courtyard.
Baoya's eyes widened immediately, and she grabbed Yunhua beside her in fear: "Third sister, why do I hear someone crying?"
Yunhua held her breath: "I heard it too."
Yun Chenglu and Yun Yue beside them also nodded.
It was completely dark at this time. With the help of the light in the house, the four children looked in the direction of the sound and saw a person squatting in the shadow of the corner.
"I'll go call my mother, don't go over there yet." Yun Chenglu said.
The three little girls nodded their heads
After a while, Yun Chenglu came with Wang Cailian.
"What? You're always making noises."
Wang Cailian was serving dishes when Yun Chenglu suddenly called her over. She muttered something as she walked towards the corner.
"Hiss," she heard sobbing as she got closer. "Oh my god! There really is someone!"
After a while, Baoya and Yun Chenglu saw Wang Cailian walking over with a child.
At first they didn't know who it was, but when Wang Cailian put the child on the ground, they all recognized him.
An embroidered pink jacket, embroidered Shin-chan shoes, who else could this be but Chen Xiaojuan?
At this time, Chen Xiaojuan was squatting on the ground with her hands on her belly and her head buried low. I don’t know if she was still crying, but her little shoulders were shaking.
Baoya looked at her strangely and was about to go up to her to ask what was wrong, but she caught a glimpse of a corner of her arms: "Oh, isn't this our big river clam?"
After she said this, Yun Chenglu and the others also noticed it.
Wang Cailian grabbed one of Chen Xiaojuan's arms and pulled her up from the ground, and also saw it.
Her eyebrows immediately raised: "You are such a bad boy! How can you steal other people's things at such a young age!"
"I didn't!" Chen Xiaojuan was still holding the river clam in her arms. She raised her little face, her eyes full of tears.
"You said no, what is that in your arms?!"
Wang Cailian was so angry that she almost died. The river clams in their family were treasures that could produce pearls. If they were really stolen by this little girl, it would be disastrous.
"No!" Chen Xiaojuan insisted, "I just wanted to see! It...it pinched my hand!"
After saying that, he burst into tears.
Her crying scared Baoya and the others.
Only then did I notice that one of Chen Xiaojuan's little fingers was still stuck in the clam shell. I don't know how long it had been stuck there, but her finger was swollen.
"You deserve it!" Wang Cailian rolled her eyes.
She wanted to take Chen Xiaojuan's finger out of the clam shell, but for some reason the clam was holding it very tightly. Every time she pulled, Chen Xiaojuan started crying loudly.
There was a lot of noise in the yard, which attracted Zhao Zhilan over.
"What's wrong? Why are you crying?"
Zhao Zhilan looked over and immediately understood about 80% of what was going on, and her face fell.
Chen Xiaojuan is a child who has no memory and always comes to the Yun family to cause trouble.
And there's that shameless Zhou Cuihua. Last time she sent the person back, she beat the child to death. How could she dare to do that again in the future?
"Let's get her finger out first, then we can do anything else." Zhao Zhilan sighed, her head aching.
The Chen family is like a nest of hornets, don't touch them.
It's hiding far away, but it's still chasing after me.
Wang Cailian was also anxious: "Mom, this river clam is too tight, I can't get it out."
Baoya pursed her lips and stared at Chen Xiaojuan: "I can help you take your finger out."
"But you have to promise that you will never come to my house again. Stay away from my house and don't even step foot inside our door."
Chen Xiaojuan was in so much pain that her face was red from crying and her eyes were swollen.
She didn't want to agree at first, but she couldn't help but feel the pain, so she nodded with a grin: "I'm not coming, who wants to come!"
Baoya then stretched out her little finger and knocked on the clam shell: "Bangbang, let go, don't bully her."
As soon as he finished speaking, the river clam clicked and loosened, and was held in Yun Chenglu's hands.
Chen Xiaojuan quickly took out her swollen finger and put it in her mouth to suck on it.
She glared at Baoya fiercely. This girl was too evil. The river clam actually listened to her.
"Why are you glaring at me, Baoya?" Yunyue, who was standing nearby, saw this and raised her voice with her hands on her hips, "Why are you glaring at me when you made a mistake?"
"snort!"
Chen Xiaojuan snorted heavily, turned around and ran out.
He hadn't taken two steps when Wang Cailian grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and pulled him back: "Where are you going? You're not admitting your mistakes, and you're running away now? What did your parents teach you?"
"Wang Cailian, what are you doing?"
With a sarcastic shout, Zhou Cuihua shook off Li Rongyue and He Chunxiu who were dragging her and walked into the main hall from the back door.
"Love is not your child, you little chicken? Let Xiaojuan go!"
