Chapter 701 The Shu Family Learns of the Whereabouts of the Hou Mother and Daughter
Wang Changdong was taken aback. "They disappeared two days ago, and you're only bringing it up now?"
That's not right. The official in charge of registration told him these past two days that no one has been absent.
He wasn't very familiar with Shu Feng. There were too many prisoners in Zhengdao Village, and he couldn't remember which family this person belonged to.
Shu Feng immediately explained, "We didn't mean to hide it. Before my sister and the others left, they had a few words with us and went to stay at someone else's house. We thought they would come back naturally after they calmed down, but we haven't seen them for a while. We haven't seen them working in the fields for the past two days either. So, we were afraid something had happened to them, so we came to ask the police officer."
Wang Changdong frowned. "Whose family are you? How old is your so-called sixth sister? What's her name? When did she disappear?"
“We’re from the Shu family, living at the foot of the mountain. My sixth sister is only eleven years old, and her mother is our aunt. Oh, by the way, they probably went to the Lu family after they left home. It’s Lu Shuyu. I just saw her sitting over there registering people. Officer, how did she end up like this…”
Shu Feng had originally intended to naturally steer the conversation toward Shu Yu, but halfway through, Wang Changdong suddenly exclaimed, "I remember now! That's why that sounded familiar. Didn't you say Aunt Hou and Sixth Sister went to work at the post station?"
Shu Feng's voice stopped abruptly. He suddenly raised his head and asked, "What did you say? What about working at the post station?"
Wang Changdong's expression turned strange in an instant. "You don't know? The mother and daughter met with the governor that day. The governor said that the post station was short-staffed, so they were transferred there."
Shu Feng was completely dazed. The post station? They've already left, working over there. Does that mean they're never coming back?
Wang Changdong continued, "It's strange, how could you not know? After they received the letter that day, didn't they go back to pack their luggage and say goodbye to you? They didn't tell you."
That day?
Shu Feng remembered that Hou Shi and the Sixth Miss did indeed return halfway through that day.
They also found it strange that this person was working in the fields and suddenly came back.
Before they could even exchange a few words calmly, the second uncle slapped Hou Shi across the face.
Later, Hou and her second uncle got into an argument. Hou picked up the bundle that had been thrown into the yard, turned around and left, never to return.
So, at that time, they had already gone to the post station?
Shu Feng's body was trembling slightly. Working at the post station was naturally much better than clearing land here.
Why? Not only did Lu Shuyu become the manager of this estate, but they couldn't do anything about her.
Even Hou Shi and her sixth sister have left, making it even more difficult for them to see them again.
A flash of anger crossed Shu Feng's face. He clenched his fist to suppress it and forced a smile. "Officer, do you know which post station they went to?"
Wang Changdong glanced at him and said, "You can't say that."
He was quick-witted and could tell that the Hou family and the other members of the Shu family didn't get along. Otherwise, even if they had just had a few words of argument, they wouldn't have left without saying goodbye after such a big matter.
Moreover, matters like reassignment are not something he can simply decide to discuss at will.
If anyone can ask questions, then what rules are there?
