Su Ergou showed off his biceps: "Sister, we must be too powerful and scared him!"

Su Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment and said, "Well...that's right."

When the brother and sister got home, they didn't see Su Yu Niang.

I asked Xiao Wu, and she shook her head: "I went to the river to wash salted eggs, and when I came back she was not in the room. By the way, I seemed to hear her say she was going to the county government office, did she go to the town?"

Su Xiaoxiao knew about going to the county government office to get the stamp. She set up her stall early in the morning and Su Yu Niang was still asleep. She originally planned to have Liu Ping take Su Yu Niang to town in the afternoon by donkey cart.

But it is not ruled out that Su Yu Niang couldn't wait and went to the county government office herself.

As for why Su Xiaoxiao didn't meet her, it is not difficult to understand.

The town was so big, the county government office and Jinji were in two different directions, and they just happened to miss each other on the road.

However, until the evening, Su Yu Niang still did not return.

"Does it take so long to go to the county government to do business?" Su Xiaoxiao muttered to herself, and asked Su Ergou to go to the headman's house and ask Old Li what time Su Yu Niang left the village.

The head of the village and Old Li both said that they had not seen Su Yu Niang leave the village.

That's strange.

Where could Su Yu Niang have gone if she didn't leave the village? Could it be that the people from the head of the village and Old Li's family just didn't see Su Yu Niang go out?

Su Xiaoxiao called Liu Ping and said, "Brother Liu, please go to the county government office and see if Yu Niang is there."

"I'll be there right away!"

Liu Ping got on the donkey cart, and the donkey went on without stopping.

This donkey is different from other donkeys. It eats a lot, is very strong, and runs fast.

After about half an hour, Liu Ping returned to the village.

"The people at the government office said that no young women came today."

Xiao Wu did not leave. She was also waiting for news from Su Yu Niang at Xiao Su's house.

She asked, "Could it be... that he went back to the Zheng family?"

"No." Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Su Yu Niang has severed ties with the Zheng family."

"The old Su family?" Su Ergou also expressed his own guess.

Su Yu Niang mentioned that she left some things at the old Su's house, including luggage... and some of her private money.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know the exact amount. The rich woman Su Yu Niang didn't say, but it should not be a small amount.

Su Yu Niang hid the secret very well and didn't even tell Fang.

Therefore, if Su Yu Niang wanted to get her things back, she really had to go there in person.

The old Su family should still have some luggage left... Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about it and was about to go and take a look in person, but unexpectedly, someone from the old Su family showed up.

The ones who came were Su Can and Su Erlang.

The father and son looked aggressive and acted as if they were going to destroy the house.

Su Can stood at the door and shouted, "Su Fatty! Where did you hide Yu Niang? Let her come out to see me! I have something to say to her!"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the three of them strangely: "Yu Niang is not here."

Strange, Su Yu Niang is not at the old Su's house either? "Where is Yu Niang?" Su Can asked.

"I don't know." Su Xiaoxiao answered truthfully.

Su Can's face darkened: "Su Fatty! Su Yu Niang has been living in your house for a while, don't you know where she is?"

"I just don't know." Su Xiaoxiao said calmly.

Su Can said coldly: "Did you hide her on purpose? Don't let us see her?"

Su Ergou came out and said, "Why are you hiding? We haven't seen Sister Yuniang since we came back from town. We wanted to ask you if Sister Yuniang went to your place."

"Nonsense! Yu Niang is not in our Su family at all!" Su Can said to his son, "Erlang, go ask the head of the village and Li Xiaoyong if Yu Niang has left the village?"

Su Erlang went.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't stop them. Why should she be so kind as to save the old Su family from running errands? Su Erlang came back sweating profusely, panting, "Dad, my second sister didn't leave the village."

Su Can glared at Su Xiaoxiao domineeringly: "Su Fatty! Where did you hide Yu Niang?"

Liu Ping also came out and said, "You misunderstood. Daya really didn't hide Yu Niang. Daya is also looking for Yu Niang."

Su Can suddenly raised his voice: "So, you guys have made Yu Niang disappear?"

Liu Ping hurriedly explained: "No...we didn't..."

Su Can's voice was so loud that it alarmed the nearby villagers, first the He family and the elder Wu family from next door, and then the Sun family's daughter-in-law and the Wu family's aunt.

Soon, Zhou, the most powerful gossip woman in the village, also came over.

She and Aunt Liu arrived at the same time. After all, one lived on the left side of the old Su's house and the other lived on the right side of the old Su's house.

"What happened?" Zhou asked.

Su Erlang complained, "Aunt Zhou, the Su family has made my second sister disappear."

Su Ergou was unhappy, and he put his hands on his waist and said, "Hey, hey, hey! How can you talk like that? Who made Sister Yu Niang disappear?"

Su Erlang said: "Then tell me, where did my second sister go?"

"I..." Su Ergou choked.

"Look, you can't say it!" Su Erlang is more eloquent and shrewd than his elder brother.

He glanced at the villagers around him and said aggrievedly, "Everyone, please give us some justice. My sister was recuperating with them, but she died while they were taking care of her. They are now blaming us and asking us where we are!"

Su Ergou said: "No! Who the hell is blaming me? I was -"

The little bully Su is good at fighting, but not so good at talking.

Old Man Su and his son-in-law had gone to the fields to pick vegetables and had not returned yet, so only Su Xiaoxiao and the others were at home.

"Don't accuse us of bullying." Su Can said coldly, "Let Yu Niang come out, and we will pretend nothing happened!"

"Just treat it as such?" Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, "What did our Little Su family do that requires your Old Su family to just treat it as if nothing had happened? Who are you giving alms to?"

Su Ergou straightened his back immediately: "Yes! What's so great about your Su family? Do you think we are beggars?"

Su Can scolded, “But Yu Niang disappeared from your house!”

Su Xiaoxiao stared at Su Can without blinking: "It's only been half a day since we last saw him. How can you conclude that he's missing?"

Su Can choked.

Su Erlang said: "But Yu Niang is nowhere to be found in your house!"

“Wow—”

A baby crying was heard in the house. Yu Niang's child was hungry.

In the afternoon, he was crying with hunger. Mrs. Wu took him to Li's house and asked Mrs. Zhao to help feed him twice.

Su Can hurriedly said: "The child is crying like this, he must be hungry, hurry up and let Yu Niang come out!"

Su Ergou said: "I already said Sister Yu Niang is not at my house!"

"By the way, where did Yu Niang go? How can a mother abandon her child?"

"Could there be some accident?"

"Yeah, it's getting late, we should go home no matter where we are."

"Did you go back to your husband's house?"

"You're going back to your husband's house without bringing your baby?"

The villagers talked one after another, and their speculation about Su Yu Niang's whereabouts gradually became strange.

It’s no wonder they think too much, this matter is really strange.

Who would abandon a one-month-old baby?
