A group of voices rang out outside, and Lü Jie's heart jumped into her throat, completely forgetting her anger from just moments before.
By the time she realized what was happening, Yang Suxian had already opened the door before her. Lü Jie's eyes rolled back, and she almost fainted.
At this moment, she really wished she could faint, at least to avoid the situation, but she only felt weak all over, yet her mind was very clear.
Seeing someone open the door, Liu Jing squeezed in from the outside, cautiously looking around to make sure Shi Tou wasn't there, and then asked directly, "Auntie, where did Shi Tou go? I haven't seen him in so long."
Shu Ying followed her in, and Yangyang and Yueyue stood beside her. "Grandma, is Brother Shitou very sick?"
Yang Suxian's first impression of Shu Ying was not good. Usually, a pretty little girl like her must be a vixen who only knows how to seduce men.
She opened her mouth to say something, but changed her mind after looking up and seeing Xie Zhiyan behind Shu Ying.
"Of course the child is playing outside. We haven't seen him come back all day. Our child is just naughty, so please be understanding."
She still remembered Xie Zhiyan. When he came here a couple of years ago, Xiao Xueyi told her that Xie Zhiyan was the youngest regimental commander in their unit and had already achieved countless merits. He said that when they were on a mission before, it was Xie Zhiyan who helped him out, and he was lucky enough to avoid being hit by a bomb.
Since he was a leader, she naturally had to show him some respect. Her son would have to work under him in the future, and Yang Suxian could tell the difference between momentary satisfaction and a life of comfort.
But after she said that, the group of people looked even more suspicious.
Yueyue spoke first, asking, "It's not Sunday today, so why is Brother Stone playing outside? When we came yesterday, Auntie wouldn't let us see him, and the teacher at school said he was sick. Grandma, what's wrong with Brother Stone?"
Yang Suxian's account and Lü Jie's account clearly did not match. Even the slowest person would realize that Shi Tou was not at home at all.
Liu Jing is an impatient person. She hasn't been married for long, and has only been living in the compound for two months, but her fiery temper has already become well-known.
"Can't you two at least check your stories before you lie? We've been here for so long, and we haven't even looked at the stone in the last two days. How can you say he's out playing? Where is the child right now?"
Wang's sister-in-law's expression immediately turned serious. The child was already five or six years old; she couldn't just abandon him like that.
"Auntie, this child is yours too, but where is Shitou?"
Yang Suxian seemed to have been hit on the head with a blunt object. She put one hand on her hip and started cursing.
"What does my grandson have to do with you? You lot are just bored and have nothing better to do than keep an eye on my family's affairs. Even if he dies out there, what does it have to do with you?"
Shu Ying's expression was rather unpleasant. Most of the elderly people in the countryside still had the problem of preferring sons to daughters, but she didn't expect that even though Shi Tou was a boy, his situation was still not much better.
She said sternly, "Shitou is the child of a People's Liberation Army soldier. The organization will also investigate his family education. This child has been missing for several days. If you don't tell us his whereabouts, we will have to report to the political work department and family committee of the unit's residential compound. We have reasonable evidence that your family is abusing the child!"
