Lihua said:
"It's okay, my brother will be with us. You don't have to worry.
This temple fair is so lively. It’s not easy for me to come here, so I want to walk around and take a look at different places.
Let's act separately so you can feel more comfortable.
If we are destined to meet, maybe we will meet again in a while!"
Dai Ping'er is usually taciturn, so how can she speak better than the crisp and decisive Lihua?
She hesitated twice, but finally didn't dare to agree.
However, Lihua had already turned around and walked in the opposite direction with Wulang, Daohua, and Linghua.
Dai Chuan'er shouted anxiously, "You can't leave! Come back quickly!"
Xia Daohua looked back, but was pulled forward two steps by Lihua. She smiled apologetically and followed Lihua and the others, quickening their pace and evacuating as quickly as possible.
Dai Sanlang's face turned even paler, and his body even looked a little shaky.
Dai Ping'er and Dai Chuan'er's expressions also became much uglier.
However, Dai Ping'er's face was pale, while Dai Chuan'er's cheeks were red. Looking closely, both of them had sweat on their faces, and it was unclear whether it was from anxiety or anger.
Dai Sanlang never thought that Lihua would just leave him aside without saying a word and just walk away!
He racked his brains but couldn't figure it out. His family owned hundreds of acres of fertile land and several farmhands to take care of the work. He was handsome, well-mannered, and the only son in the family. His two sisters' marriages were already arranged and they would be married in a year or two.
Once Lihua marries me, as long as she takes good care of herself, she won’t have to worry about anything and can just enjoy herself!
Why would she be so dismissive on such a good day?
Do you really think you can marry into a wealthy family just by relying on your looks?
Could it be that she was actually playing hard to get?
Or maybe she just has a bad temper and is naturally willful and capricious?
Or does she already have someone she loves, and this trip to see him is just a formality?
…
Dai Sanlang's ideas popped up one after another, and he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.
Lihua and the others had just walked past two or three stalls when Dai Sanlang had already imagined a complete drama in his mind.
At this time, most of the people who came to the temple fair had already burned incense in the temple, so there were more people on the streets.
The two sisters Dai Ping'er and Dai Chuan'er are really pitiful.
They had to push through the crowd to catch up with Dai's parents, and at the same time protect their younger brother, whose eyes were flickering and who was constantly thinking about his own little thoughts. It was more difficult than when they walked with Xia Daohua and the others before.
The crowd was crowded, and Dai Sanlang was preoccupied with his own affairs. When he woke up from his thoughts, he found that Dai Ping'er and Dai Chuan'er were nowhere to be seen.
Where are the two sisters?
Xia Lihua was a willful and ignorant girl, and she left me behind.
But my two elder sisters have always been virtuous and kind, and they treat me very well. They would never do such a thing!
Could they... be in some danger?
Dai Sanlang realized this belatedly and suddenly became a little panicked.
He pushed through the crowd and struggled to squeeze back in the direction he came from, but found that there were unfamiliar faces everywhere in the huge crowd, and there was no trace of his two sisters.
Dai Sanlang was extremely anxious. He kept shouting "Sister, sister" while squeezing through the crowd. People kept rolling their eyes at him, but he didn't care.
Later, when there were finally fewer people around, Dai Sanlang could finally walk faster. However, he was not paying attention and was bumped hard by a middle-aged man with a face full of flesh and a rude expression.
Dai Sanlang was very angry, but just as he said something stubborn, the man grabbed his collar and lifted him up.
Dai Sanlang was angry, humiliated, and scared. He had no choice but to apologize dejectedly and bow to the man several times before he managed to escape.
After this incident, Dai Sanlang felt tired, exhausted, angry, hateful, and a little scared, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
However, people who passed by him seemed to be afraid of being provoked by him and walked away from him from a distance.
Some even pointed and talked about him, and some even laughed at him, but no one came up to ask him why he was so sad.
After crying for a while, perhaps to vent his emotions or perhaps because he was too tired, Dai Sanlang stopped crying.
He searched for a while, probably less than half an hour, but still found nothing. He was extremely tired, and even his voice became hoarse from crying.
Seeing a tea stall on the side of the road, Dai Sanlang rushed in impatiently.
I sat down and drank three bowls of tea in succession before I felt revived.
As a result, when it was time to pay the bill, Dai Sanlang touched his waist and realized, to his embarrassment, that his wallet had disappeared without a trace!
The waiter's face also turned ugly:
"This tea is only two coins a bowl. You look so respectable, you won't be unable to get it, right?
I've seen many people eating free meals, but this is the first time I've seen someone drinking free tea...
Even an ignorant country bumpkin like me has finally opened my eyes today!"
Dai Sanlang blushed and was speechless.
He searched in his sleeve for a long time, but only pulled out a small pouch containing a few pieces of hard, dried meat. This was something Dai's mother had brought with her to stave off hunger while he wandered around.
Although the dried meat is more expensive than the tea, I don’t think the waiter at this teahouse would charge this...
The embarrassment on Dai Sanlang's face became even more intense, but fortunately, another wave of customers soon entered the tea stall.
The waiter went to greet the guests.
Dai Sanlang quickly wiped the sweat from his face, his eyes flashing, and he wanted to slip away quietly.
Unfortunately, although this tea stall is not small, it only has one exit, which is also the entrance. I wonder if this design is to prevent people from running away without paying.
The waiter glanced at Dai Sanlang with an understanding look and signaled him not to block the road and cause trouble.
Dai Sanlang's face was covered in sweat and he moved away embarrassedly.
The waiter skillfully asked the group of guests to sit down and asked them what kind of tea they would like to drink.
The straw curtain at the door was lifted again, and another group of guests came in.
Dai Sanlang accidentally glanced at it and suddenly shouted excitedly:
"Dad! Mom! Sister Wu!"
It turned out that this group of guests were Dai's father, Dai's mother, Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Jiang, and Xia Youtian, a group of five.
Their conversation along the way wasn't particularly speculative.
But fortunately, they are all adults and can still maintain superficial politeness and courteousness.
However, Wu was already very regretful in her heart.
She has been married to the Xia family for so many years, and she has never done anything so lame!
Although she often had arguments with Sun from the second house, she was almost always right.
This is the first time ever!
