Chapter 308 Missing
“Chuckle, chuckle—”
“Ohhhh—”
“Chichichi—”
Along with the chirping of roosters and birds, the sun quietly rises from the east.
Jiang Zhuzi came out of the house and found that his mother had not come back yet.
He no longer had the mood to go to town to do odd jobs.
"Wife, I always feel like something is wrong. Why didn't mom come home all night? Where did she go? No, I have to go look for her and ask the villagers if they have seen her."
Jiang Zhuzi wanted to go out and ask without even having time to wash his face.
He was grabbed by Sun Xiaotao.
"If you really go and ask, do you still want your mother's reputation? Wait a little longer, maybe she will be back soon."
Sun Xiaotao was also feeling a little uneasy. She continued, "Go to mother's room and see if her clothes and other things are still there."
If she were here, she might have fallen into the bed of some man.
If he's not here, then he's gone.
Sun Xiaotao was a little nervous.
She accepted all the betrothal gifts from her parents' home.
If he runs away, how can I return the betrothal gift?
After saying that, she rushed into her mother-in-law's room without waiting for Jiang Zhuzi to lift his feet.
Open the cabinet and take a look.
She was dumbfounded: "Everything is gone, your mother ran away!"
"What? My mother ran away? What nonsense are you talking about." Jiang Zhuzi ran in with a frown and also searched everywhere.
He found that it was not only the cabinets, but also the boxes and the boxes under the bed.
They are all empty.
"It's over, your mother ran off with a strange man, she must have heard our conversation, damn it!"
Sun Xiaotao used her remaining intelligence to guess.
The couple was at a loss and didn't know where to start looking.
And Widow Liu has already moved into her new home.
No, she is not a widow now.
Now, her name is Liu Xiang'er.
She married Zhou Changgu from Zhoujia Village.
Both husband and wife were getting married for the second time, so they didn't care about the formality. Although they got married today, they had already spent their bridal night last night.
"Wife, are you feeling okay? Are you feeling unhappy somewhere?" He was worried that the baby in Liu Xianger's belly was in miscarriage because of him.
Zhou Changgu had just woken up and didn't even have time to put on his clothes, but he was already concerned about her.
"It's okay, you're very light and the child is fine. I'll get up and make breakfast for you." Liu Xiang'er really wanted to live a good life.
Although Zhou Changgu was ugly, short, and came from a poor family.
But he is nice.
Besides, the two of them had...
He always brought the most food, and he also did the most work in the fields at home.
So, when Liu Xiang'er wanted to get married, the first person she came to was him.
"Okay, just cook some brown rice porridge. Don't get too tired. I'll go water the cabbages in the field. By the way, I'm getting married today, and some of my good brothers will come over for lunch. You cook some brown rice for lunch, and I'll go to the mountain to dig some wild vegetables.
There is a small piece of bacon in the bamboo basket hanging in the kitchen. You can soak the dried mushrooms in water later, cook some wild vegetable soup at noon, and then stir-fry the bacon and mushrooms. "
Liu Xiang'er, who had been worrying all her life, felt cared for for the first time.
The hostility in her body was much less, and she just nodded coquettishly.
"Okay, I'll listen to my father."
The words "dad of the child" made Zhou Changgu very happy.
He was ill and could not have children of his own.
He was laughed at by the villagers for half his life, who said he was not a man but a waste.
When he gets old, there is no one to see him off to the grave.
Now he can finally stand up straight.
Different from the love between husband and wife.
Jiang Zhuzi in Jiangjia Village was going crazy.
Not only him, there was also a group of people gathered at the foot of the mountain, chattering.
"Look, whose baby's shoes are thrown here?"
"It looks familiar to me. Let me think about it."
"What are you thinking about? These are the shoes of the former village chief's daughter. She still wears them even though the soles are rotten. She only wears this pair of shoes all year round. I even sewed the soles for her before. It's pitiful that she finally has to throw away these worn-out shoes."
"What are you throwing? Don't you know that the fourth and fifth girls are missing!"
"What? Missing?"
"I heard last night that he hadn't been back for two days and we couldn't find him. Could he have been eaten by a grizzly bear in the mountains? Otherwise, why would his shoes be here?"
"No, go and call Zhou and ask her if the fourth and fifth girls have returned. I'll go call the clan leader."
Several women acted separately.
A quarter of an hour later.
There are even more people at the foot of the mountain.
"My Si Niu, what happened to you? Why do you only have one shoe left? Si Niu——"
Zhou Gaier knelt on the ground, holding a small shoe, and cried inconsolably.
However, anyone with a discerning eye could see that there were hardly any tears on her face.
It's all just pretend.
"Jiang Lingu, since your fourth and fifth daughters haven't come home, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Jiang Shoujia scolded angrily.
It's been so long since then, even if we go into the mountains to look for it, we won't be able to find it.
All the shoes are gone.
Estimated...
There is a saying circulating among the people.
If a person encounters an accident and his shoes fall off, it means he will not survive.
Although I know that the fourth and fifth girls are more likely to be dangerous than good.
But Jiang Shoujia still gathered a group of people to search in the mountains.
pity.
Nothing was found.
At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Guangyi sat on a rock with a smile on his face.
Fortunately, he was smart. When he sold his granddaughter, he did not forget to take off one of Si Niu's shoes.
While talking to Widow Liu, he threw his shoes into the mountain.
I just don't know how I got to the foot of the mountain.
The fourth and fifth girls, who were talked about by everyone, were bought home by Yang Wanli and his wife yesterday.
The two of them were bathed by the maid and changed into the same clothes.
A light pink maid's uniform.
Looks clean and refreshing.
Her dry, messy hair was tied into two small buns, one on the left and one on the right.
Even the names were changed to White Plum and Red Plum.
"My dear, I will take you to Jiang's Snack Shop for a meal today. I have nothing to do today, so I will leave the shop to the steward."
Yang Wanli sat in the yard, took a sip of tea, and spoke slowly.
"Okay, let's take Ruixue and Fengnian out to play. After dinner, we'll go for a walk. Baimei, stay with the young lady and don't run around. Got it? Hongmei, stay at home."
The two little maids are too young.
If the maid in the pawnshop had not taught her well and Bai Mei was not so well-behaved and sensible, Shi Yanxiu would not have felt comfortable taking care of her.
"I understand, ma'am—"
"Yes, ma'am—"
After training, the two sisters have learned a lot of etiquette.
noon.
The whole family went to Jiang's Snack Shop.
Since we had sent servants to queue up in advance, we were welcomed in directly when we arrived there.
Maids and servants stood by and served.
There were only four people sitting at the table.
Yang Wanli and his wife, and their two children, a boy and a girl.
"Mom, guess who I saw." In the backyard, Jiang Eryong said in shock.
"Who is the second uncle?" Jiang Fubao, who was the most gossipy, asked.
"Si Niu!" Jiang Eryong didn't recognize her at first. It was only when he brought her food just now that he looked at her a few more times and recognized her.
After all, she had changed so much. She washed her face clean, changed into new clothes, and tied her hair up. I really couldn't recognize her at first.
