Chapter 365 Going to Pick Up Someone
Xiao Zhen cried so hard she could barely breathe, as if she wanted to cry out all the fear she had felt at the time.
The old lady got up and walked over, slapping Yuan Shanchuan twice hard. "You damned bastard, you still know how to come back? Do you even know what Si Xing is like... she..."
As she spoke, the old lady's eyes reddened, and she took a deep breath and said, "It's good that you're back. We all believe you didn't do those crimes. You wouldn't do them."
Yuan Shanchuan nodded repeatedly. He patted Xiao Zhen on the shoulder, stood up and said, "Don't worry, Mother-in-law, I will never do anything against my conscience."
"It's good that you know what you're doing."
“I’ve heard about Si Xing from Da Niu. These days, my mother-in-law and brothers-in-law have been worrying about things at home. Xiao Zhen and Quan Quan are also thanks to your help in taking care of them. Otherwise, even if I came back, the house would be in a mess.”
Xiao Zhen wiped away her tears and whispered, "Dad, my brother cried all day, and in the middle of the night he was vomiting and had diarrhea. He almost died. If Sister Ayu hadn't called the doctor, my brother might have... he might have..."
Yuan Shanchuan was startled. Even Da Niu didn't know about this, so naturally he was unaware.
He knew that children this young were most vulnerable to accidents, and could easily lose their lives.
Now it seems he truly owes his brother-in-law's family a huge favor.
Yuan Shanchuan turned around, about to thank the people present again. Shu Yu said, "Wait here for me for a while. I'll go remove my makeup and then go to the county government to pick up Fourth Aunt."
The old lady was overjoyed, "Sixing is alright?"
Shu Yu had already entered the room when Yuan Shanchuan replied, "I'll go to the county office and explain things to the officials. If nothing unexpected happens, everything should be fine."
The old lady murmured "Amitabha" and said happily, "Then I'll go with you."
Xiao Zhen heard this, reached out and wiped her face, "I'm going too, I'm going too."
Da Niu hurriedly said, "Grandma, this matter is not yet settled, and it's not appropriate for so many people to go. Besides, there are other hidden circumstances surrounding Fourth Aunt's husband's case, and the process is quite complicated, so it's not good to make too much of a fuss. If everything goes smoothly when we go, we can bring Fourth Aunt back. You can wait for us at home."
The old lady was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, as long as we can bring the person home safely, we'll do anything."
Da Niu then said, "Then I'll go with my fourth uncle to change my clothes."
Yuan Shanchuan's clothes didn't fit properly, and Lu Erbai from the Lu family was about the same size as him, so Madam Ruan went inside and got a new set.
Da Niu then changed back into his own clothes.
After a while of this commotion, Shuyu finally came out.
The three of them looked refreshed. Yuan Shanchuan glanced at his son, then, without further delay, quickly put the painting away and went straight out the door.
The old lady held Xiao Zhen's hand and watched them leave until they were out of sight. Then she turned around and said happily to Ruan Shi, "Si Xing will definitely come back safely. Let's get ready. I'll go find some mugwort so we can fumigate her when she comes back to get rid of bad luck. Oh, and a brazier too."
As she spoke, she immediately got to work.
Ruan placed Quan Quan, whom she was carrying, on the bed and asked San Ya and Xiao Zhen to help look after her. She also prepared hot water and food with great enthusiasm.
They all believed that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Lu Sixing would definitely return.
