In less than half an hour, Xiaoman'er and Zhou Wuya were brought back by a group of people in a lively atmosphere.
After thanking all the villagers and politely seeing them off, Yue Jiuyue told the servants who had gone out to search for the missing person to go and rest. Only then did she have time to ask what had happened.
"Little Man'er, Wuya, why did you two run outside? And so far away?"
"Grandma, I'm going to find my mother."
Xiao Man'er looked up at Yue Jiuyue for a moment, then lowered her head again and whispered.
"Huh? Don't you know your mother lives in the prefecture city? That's so far away, how are you going to find her?"
Yue Jiuyue wondered if the little girl had been sleeping too much during her afternoon nap, otherwise how could she have such an unreliable idea?
"No, Grandma, my mother is waiting for me in town!"
Xiao Man'er spoke urgently, as if Yue Jiuyue wouldn't believe her if she spoke too slowly.
"Huh? Your mother is in town? How did you know?"
Why did Liu suddenly come back? And why didn't she go home but stayed in town? Is it really Liu, or just some young girl who's been fooled by someone else?
"Who told you that?"
“I overheard the grandmothers talking in the street. They said they saw my mother in town, and she was holding a little girl. They all said that my mother must not want me anymore, nor my father or my brother, which is why she hasn’t come home. They also said that she was dressed so nicely and was holding a child, so she must have another family.”
Yue Jiuyue: ...
She didn't know what to say.
"Alright, you must be exhausted after running such a long way. Go back to your room and rest. I'll have your third brother go to town later to see if those people are really talking about your mother."
Actually, Yue Jiuyue didn't know what to do if she confirmed that the other party was indeed Liu Shi, but for now, she had to make sure the child was properly settled.
"Really? Grandma, then I'm going back to my room!"
Xiao Man'er happily pulled Zhou Wuya away, leaving Yue Jiuyue with a worry in her heart.
How should this be resolved?
Putting aside Liu Shi and Xiao Man'er, shouldn't we tell Lin Chaodong?
But what if that person isn't Liu? Then Lin Chaonan's trip to the city to find her would have been in vain, and Lin Chaodong would have worried for nothing.
But what if that person really is Liu? What if something really happens if we don't call Lin Chaodong back?
So why did she become a mother? And why is she getting better and better at it?
Yue Jiuyue called Lin Chaonan over and explained the reason why Xiaoman'er "ran away from home" again. Then the matter became Lin Chaonan's responsibility, and she could just sit back and wait for news.
So, sometimes being a mother has its advantages, especially when her son is all grown up and can stand on his own. She shouldn't be too good at being a hands-off mother!
All those previous thoughts and worries are now being shouldered by Lin Chaonan, so she can finally relax and go back to bed.
She's a contradictory person; sometimes she's anxious and worried, and other times she's carefree and oblivious.
In the courtyard, Zhou Liuya, who had run over to tell her the news, was still there. Yue Jiuyue filled a purse with nuts for her. The little girl's eyes crinkled with joy, and she forgot all about why she had come to see her. All she could think about were the nuts, which made Yue Jiuyue's heart soften.
After watching Zhou Liuya leave, Yue Jiuyue lay down on the bed to wait for news.
