"I don't know, let's go up and take a look!"
Zhou Yiding led Dahuang, and the three of them walked a few steps up the slope, and heard the voice of an old woman cursing.
"Oh my god, that shameless bitch, that rotten shuttle leaf, dresses up like a fairy every day. There is no one else like her in the three nearby villages. She is not a decent woman at all."
"I told you a long time ago that you haven't even given birth to a child after being married for so long. I told you to be careful and not to let her manage your money, but you didn't listen! Now look what happened. I worked so hard for several months and saved up a few hundred dollars, and it was all taken away."
"You unlucky bastard, you made yourself so angry for a cheap woman. Even if I died in front of you, you wouldn't be so sad. If I had known you were such a person, I would have drowned you in a piss bucket to save you the trouble of dying for a woman..."
Xu Erchun whispered, "Did you guys hear it? It sounds like the voice of Accountant Ye's wife!"
"We're not familiar with her, so we can't tell!" they said in unison.
At this time, the person opposite had already approached, and Boss Ye's voice came over, "Who is in front?"
"It's us!" Zhou Huaian and the other two said in unison.
The three of them looked at each other and understood why Mrs. Ye was cursing just now. The White Bone Demon from Ye Laoyao's family took the money and ran off with a strange man!
Mrs. Ye said, "The light is so bright, how can we know who you are? You are so tall and strong, but you can't even speak a word!"
The three of them complained in their hearts: "You damned woman, your daughter-in-law didn't run away with us, why are you angry at us?"
Ye Laoyao limped over, grabbed Zhou Huaian, and asked anxiously: "Zhou Laoyao, when did you come out? Have you seen my Chuntao?"
He came back from picking mushrooms today, and then spent the afternoon picking corn. After dinner, he went to bed early. When he woke up because he had to pee, he found no one around him. He went out to look around the house, but there was no one there.
When they returned to the room, they found that there were a lot fewer face wash products on the cupboard. When they opened the cupboard, they found that there were fewer clothes as well. All the money they had saved from selling mushrooms during this period was gone.
He just couldn't understand. Although his legs had some inconveniences, it didn't affect his life and he took care of all the household chores. So what kind of life did she live before?
What kind of life is he living now? He treats her wholeheartedly, so why is she unwilling to live a good life with him?
Seeing that he was so anxious that his face turned pale, Zhou Huaian hurriedly said, "We left at around nine o'clock to shoot birds in the woods over the creek. We didn't see anyone when we came, and we didn't see anyone when we came back."
The youngest Ye staggered a bit, and the eldest Ye quickly supported him, saying angrily: "Youngest, in my opinion, that kind of woman is not someone you can live with peacefully. Now that you don't have any children, it would be better for you to run away!"
"If she didn't take the money saved by the youngest, then let her run away. I see that she won't be able to live in peace wherever she goes. The problem is that all the money that the youngest worked so hard to save was taken away by her!"
Mother Ye slapped her thigh and cursed, "Fuck you~ You conscienceless bitch, how has my Ye family ever done you wrong? Why do you treat my youngest child like this..."
"Mom, stop shouting!" Ye Laoya walked down the slope with a flashlight.
Zhou Yiding suddenly remembered the two figures he had seen by the river just now, and pulled Zhou Huaian, "Youngest, the figures in the grove just now..."
Ye Laoyao stopped when he heard the voice and looked at him eagerly, "Yiding, did you really see it?"
The Ye family members gathered around, "Yiding, where did you see the figure?"
Zhou Yiding hesitated for a moment and said, "Not long ago, the three of us came back from hunting birds and walked to the bank of the Xin River... or maybe the wind blew the tree trunks and I was dazzled."
"It wasn't long ago, so they didn't run far. Let's go to the grove by the river and take a look." The Ye family members swarmed towards the river.
Boss Ye said: "It's best to go and chase in the direction of Guanyin. Maybe he ran outside."
"Okay, let's go together."
Zhou Yiding looked at Zhou Huaian and Xu Erchun, "Who do you think the White Bone Demon will run away with?"
Xu Erchun shook his head, "I don't know. I can tell from the first glance that the woman is not a good person. It's better for her to run away, so as not to lead others astray."
Zhou Huaian recalled that in Yang Chunyan's dream, the White Bone Demon and the Youngest Bear were having an affair. That day, Ma Chunhua said that she was missing an egg. "Would you like to go over and take a look?"
Xu Erchun and Zhou Yiding both nodded, "Let's take a look and see what's going on!"
The three gossiping men turned around and followed.
When the Ye family arrived at the grove, they saw nothing and were busy chasing after Guanyin.
Zhou Huaian pointed to a large rock and said, "Ding Ding Cat, the White Bone Demon hid here just now. No wonder you said there was a shadow."
Zhou Yiding suddenly realized, "So that's why. They hid behind the rocks when they saw the flashlight shining on them. I thought I saw a ghost."
Xu Erchun patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's good now. Now that you can see clearly, everything will be fine."
Zhou Yiding looked at the two of them and said, "If we had come over to take a closer look, maybe..."
Zhou Huaian sneered, "If a woman like that runs away, then she can run away. Do you really want to keep her to drive a nail into his head?"
Zhou Yiding and the others looked at him in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Huaian: "Have you forgotten? The woman who was on public trial that year, she and her lover killed her husband, and said that he died of illness. But her son saw it, and he told his grandmother. His mother and uncle took a hammer and hit the old man on the head, and the old man couldn't be woken up."
Zhou Yiding slapped his thigh fiercely, "I remember now, that woman wasn't afraid at all when she was shot, and the man was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot."
Zhou Huaian: "That's right. It's said in the storytelling that adultery has always led to murder. Keeping a restless woman like that is like keeping a poisonous snake by your side. The sooner you run away, the better!"
"Oh my god~" Zhou Yiding was amused by his words, "According to what you said, Ye Laoyao's chive garden ran away with someone, and it turned out to be a good thing!"
Xu Erchun gave him a thumbs up, "Number one for twisted logic! I admire you!"
Zhou Huaian proudly embraced the two of them, "Let's go, it's already past twelve o'clock, we still have to go back and clean up the wild animals. I haven't slept well every day, even a strong man can't stand it!"
The two men walked to Zhou Yiding's door, untied the sack, and he held up a gray stork and a turtledove, "Slow down!"
Zhou Huaian and the other man waved goodbye and left without looking back. When they reached the grove at the foot of the mountain, they both walked back.
When we reached the door of the house, Wangcai and Lai Fu started calling out from behind the door.
"Don't shout, you'll wake everyone up!" Zhou Huaian yawned and looked down at the sack in his hand. "Fuck, find something to do. It'll be past one o'clock when I finish cleaning these up."
When Yang Chunyan heard the dog barking, she hurriedly got up and prepared to open the door for him. Just as she reached the door, she heard footsteps. Seeing Zhou's father coming over with a flashlight, she went back to check the diaper that Xiao Jiuer was wearing.
"Why aren't you coming in yet?" Father Zhou opened the door and looked at him. "It's the middle of the night. What are you still doing outside mumbling?"
"Nothing!" Zhou Huaian smiled apologetically, "Old man, you haven't slept yet?"
"It will take a while!" Father Zhou looked at the sack he was carrying and asked, "What did you get?"
"Grey storks, turtle doves, cuckoo birds!"
Father Zhou locked the gate and said, "It's late at night. Are you going to sleep after you finish cleaning?"
Zhou Huaian carried the sack and walked towards the backyard, "What should we do? If we don't clean it up, it will stink tomorrow."
Father Zhou glanced at him and said, "Hurry up and wash up and go to bed. Leave it there and I'll clean it up!"
Zhou Huaian looked at him in surprise, "..."
"Hurry up!" Zhou's father kicked him on the butt, took the sack and walked towards the stove at the door of the oven.
"Oh oh!" Zhou Huaian scratched his head, pushed open the bathroom door and went to wash up.
Yang Chunyan came out and saw Zhou's father scalding the gray stork, "Old man, let me do it."
Father Zhou waved his hand and said, "No, it's late at night, it's not good for Jiuer to be alone in the room, go and keep an eye on her."
"Oh!" Yang Chunyan glanced at the bathroom, turned back to the room, found her underwear, cotton vest and shorts and put them on the chair before going to bed.
After a while, Zhou Huaian came in, wiping his hair, and looked at her with gossipy eyes, "Yan'er, do you know what we saw?"
"It's the middle of the night, what else can you see?" Yang Chunyan rolled her eyes at him, "Look at what time it is?"
"We returned at around eleven o'clock. We walked to the stone bridge and met Ye Laoyao..."
"Ah!" Yang Chunyan quickly covered her mouth, "Why did he run away?"
Zhou Huaian put on his vest and shorts and climbed onto the bed. "How should I know? I remember you said that in your dream she had been hooking up with the youngest Xiong for her whole life. Do you think she ran away with the youngest Xiong?"
Yang Chunyan shook her head. "The Xiong family didn't respond, so how could we know who she ran off with? Actually, Ye Laoyao is a good person, and Li Chuntao's character is not worthy of him."
"Yes, a good man doesn't have a good wife!" Zhou Huaian yawned, "We ran into the Ye family uphill from the river, and it took at most twenty minutes. Maybe the Ye family has already captured the White Bone Demon by now."
"It's not that easy!" Yang Chunyan touched his hair, "It's still a little moist. It's best not to wash your hair too late in the future. You'll have a headache if you sleep with wet hair."
"Got it!" Zhou Huaian came forward and kissed her, "My wife is still the best!"
"Slippery mouth!" Yang Chunyan said coquettishly, "Go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow."
"I'll be back from Ning'an tomorrow, and I'll go to Ding Ding Mao's mother-in-law's house to pick up millet in the afternoon."
"Has it been agreed?"
"It's a deal! I've also ordered several thousand kilograms for Brother Huang and Wang Zhen."
"Are you going to send Ning'an to them?"
"Brother Huang found two large tractors and finished the job in two trips." After Zhou Huaian said this, he blew out the oil lamp, put his head on the pillow and fell asleep in seconds!
…
The Ye family chased all the way to the asphalt road, but still did not see Li Chuntao.
Boss Ye grabbed Youngest Ye who was still trying to look for someone, "Youngest, there are so many roads leading in all directions, where are you going to find him?"
Sister Ye also advised him, "Yes! Youngest, go back and wait until dawn, we will compensate you to visit Li Chuntao's parents' home!"
Ye Laoyao looked at them with red eyes, "Brother, let's go now!"
Seeing his expression, Boss Ye felt sorry for him and was angry. "Even if you want to go, you have to go home and catch the ox cart."
"Okay, thank you, brother and sister-in-law!" Ye Laoya said gratefully.
"I think it's a waste of time!" Ye's mother said angrily, "That bitch Li Chuntao called the Li family blood-sucking worms and has long since disowned her mother and husband."
"Mom, let's go check it out. What if he really went there?" Ye Laoda pulled her and said, "Look at the youngest one. I'm afraid something might happen to him. Let's just leave him alone."
Mother Ye looked at the youngest child, who seemed to have become even more lame overnight, and couldn't help but burst into tears. (End of this chapter)
