Chapter 851 is missing
The less the better. Ten taels of silver are enough to cover the farmers' expenses for several months.
The words were out, and Boss Chen could not change his words. After all, he had angered the Shen sisters. If they really moved Shen Ji away, he would not be able to sell his shop at this price.
After the matter was settled, Shen Qingqian asked Shen Qingning to leave the rest of the matter to Shen Chen.
Shen Qingqian stayed in the store for the whole afternoon and made a few new snacks with Shen Qingning. Seeing that it was getting late, she hurried home.
When she got home, it was completely dark.
"Sister Qian, have you seen your third sister? It's already this late, why hasn't she come back yet?" Wu glanced outside the yard, her eyes filled with confusion.
Shen Qingqian looked back and asked curiously, "Third sister hasn't come back yet? That shouldn't be the case."
The sugar workshops all finish work at 5:00 p.m. In the past, Shen Qingxiao would come back from the workshop at 5:00 p.m. at most. But now it's already 5:00 p.m., and he hasn't even come home yet.
Without waiting for Wu to speak, Shen Qingqian walked towards the sugar workshop, "Aunt, I'm going to look for my third sister."
Every day, the family members had their own things to do when they came back from the fields. No one noticed the abnormality today until it got dark, and then Mrs. Wu discovered that Shen Qingxiao had not returned.
At this moment, she felt a little uneasy, so she simply caught up with Shen Qingqian, and the two of them went to the sugar factory behind to look for someone.
However, when Shen Qingqian and Wu left the yard and went around to the back, they found that the sugar factory was pitch black and the door was locked. It was obvious that there was no one inside.
"Where is Sister Xiao? Why is she not here?" Wu's heart skipped a beat and she turned her head to look around.
Shen Qingqian's face was as gloomy as water, but she still tried to comfort him: "Maybe he went out for something. Let's look around."
After saying that, she immediately hurried home, called out all her family members, and went in different directions to look for Shen Qingxiao.
After the Shen family's commotion, everyone in Huanxiyuan noticed something was wrong and came to ask Xiaolin who was guarding the house.
"Brother Xiao, my daughter-in-law, what's going on? Why do I see that everyone in your family has gone out?"
Xiao Lin couldn't bring herself to tell the truth about Shen Qingxiao's disappearance, so she could only vaguely say, "There's still some work to be done in the fields. If more people go, they can come back for dinner faster."
A woman's reputation is so important that she didn't dare to speak casually until she was sure whether Shen Qingxiao could be found.
The person asking the question didn't doubt it, clapped his legs and said, "Oh," then you should have called us just now, wouldn't it have been finished faster?"
Kobayashi said a few perfunctory words absentmindedly, sent the man away and went back to the house. After a while, she ran to the door and looked out.
A quarter of an hour later, Shen Qingqian and others came back one after another, and everyone looked at each other in surprise.
Lin said, "My third sister-in-law and I went to the other side of the valley, but we didn't see the third girl."
"I've searched the fields nearby, but there's no one." Shen Qingman frowned, feeling very uneasy.
Shen Jun frowned and said, "I've asked at every intersection near the yard, and no one has seen the third sister."
"I've looked in all the surrounding forests, but I haven't seen my third sister." Shen Qingqian also said.
At this point, the Shen family finally confirmed that Shen Qingxiao was missing.
Wu stumbled and said with a pale face: "Where did Xiao Jie go? Why didn't you tell us?"
She still held on to the last glimmer of hope that Shen Qingqian might have gone somewhere for something.
Shen Jun clenched his fists and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not simple."
