Chapter 469 Sister Nuannuan is missing, and Aunt Yinniang is also missing.
Tang Cheng's heart softened instantly, and he quickly turned around and hugged Xiao Su Bao.
The little dumpling was soft and fluffy, but right now it was shedding tears.
Tang Cheng felt extremely distressed.
"Sweetie, don't cry!" Tang Cheng gently patted the little girl's back and coaxed her softly.
Little Su Bao looked up at the empty room, and her nose started to sting with tears.
"Sister Nuannuan is missing, and Aunt Yinniang is missing too..."
Little Su Bao cried uncontrollably, and the villagers nearby felt saddened seeing the little dumpling in this state.
When Tang Bugui woke up, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
For some reason, he always felt like he had forgotten something important.
It seems there was someone important...
However, these things were temporarily forgotten in what followed.
On October 12th, Wu Youcai arrived with a large pile of gifts.
"Hey, Tang Si, everything that happened before was my fault, please forgive me!"
Wu Youcai looked at Tang Si and saw only pitiful eyes!
If you hadn't seen him when he was fierce, you might actually be fooled by his current appearance!
Unfortunately, neither Tang Si nor any other member of the Tang family thought highly of Wu Youcai.
"I'm sorry, I can't forgive you!" Tang Si looked at Wu Youcai, thinking of the time when Tang Yu almost died of illness.
If it weren't for his good luck that Qian Shi and Xiao Su Bao came to find him that day...
I will definitely give that book to Wu Youcai on that day.
That would not only affect one's future, but also one's integrity.
That is the backbone of scholars!
"Tang Si! What do you want from me? Do you want me to kowtow and kneel down for you?"
Wu Youcai's eyes widened, and he immediately lifted his robe, about to kowtow to Tang Si.
Ever since my parents started arguing, my life has gotten worse day by day.
Moreover, his father is now keeping several women. If this continues, his own son will truly be useless.
Thinking of this, Wu Youcai became determined.
He finally got out of prison after a lot of trouble, and he never wants to go back in.
Wu Youcai used to be chubby and greasy, which made him repulsive. Now, Wu Youcai is like a stray dog that has had its teeth pulled, and he is incredibly obedient.
Tang Si was slightly taken aback, but quickly dodged away.
He frowned, clearly wary of Wu Youcai.
"Tell me, what exactly do you want?" Tang Si asked coldly. If he hadn't been blocked at the entrance of the village school, he really wouldn't have wanted to talk to this guy.
Wu Youcai looked at Tang Si with pleading in his eyes.
"Forgive me..."
His voice carried an indescribable emotion.
At this time, Xiao Su Bao and the others also finished school, and the children came out of the village school one by one.
Little Su Bao hurriedly stood in front of her fourth brother, her eyes warily fixed on Wu Youcai.
Little Mo Bao adopted almost the same posture.
Needless to say, Bai Yinjun and Tang Xin, although the village children occasionally fight.
But when they encounter children from outside the community, they absolutely unite.
"You're not allowed to bully Fourth Brother!" Little Su Bao stood in front of Tang Si and shouted at Wu Youcai in a cute but fierce way.
Wu Youcai looked at Xiao Subao, and his expression changed.
Speaking of which, my previous time in jail was actually related to Xiao Su Bao.
He felt a little annoyed, but then, as if remembering something, Wu Youcai clasped his hands in a fist and bowed to Xiao Su Bao, saying, "What happened before was my fault. I really want to apologize now, and I hope you can forgive me!"
Little Su Bao was slightly taken aback, blinked her eyes, and became a little uneasy.
Tang Si sensed his younger sister's helplessness and reached out to take Xiao Su Bao's hand.
He frowned slightly and looked at Wu Youcai.
"You've apologized, and I accept that, but I will not forgive you. Please leave our village now!"
Tang Si frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes.
Fu Manduo also came out. Because she was distracted in class today, the teacher made her stay behind to write an extra line of large characters.
As soon as he came out, he saw Wu Youcai and immediately shouted angrily, "Wu Youcai, are you going to bully people again?"
After saying that, the little girl rolled up her sleeves and ran over.
When Wu Youcai saw Fu Manduo, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but then his expression became even more humble.
Regardless, after serving a long prison sentence, his personality has changed quite a bit.
The excitement quickly reached the ears of the Qian family.
Ms. Qian was peeling corn at the time, and when she heard this, she frowned.
The relationship between the Wu family and them is not irreconcilable, but it is certainly very bad!
Now that Wu Youcai has suddenly come over, is he planning to cause some trouble again?
Qian was about to leave when Tang Cheng, who came out of the house, stopped her.
“I’ve guessed something about this!” Tang Cheng said to Madam Qian after thinking for a moment.
Mrs. Qian was no longer in a hurry and sat down to listen to her son.
Tang Cheng also picked up an ear of corn and started shelling beans.
"The Wu family bought a lot of pigs in order to compete with Lord Fu, and now it's these pigs that have caused the problem."
Tang Cheng's eyes held a hint of coldness. Even if a businessman has connections in the government, going head-to-head with officials is just courting disaster.
Moreover, Fulin has caught the emperor's eye, and a promotion in the future is almost certain.
Tang Cheng didn't say much, but continued, "Those pigs have no water because of the drought. This year's grain yield is also insufficient, and they simply don't have enough grain to feed the pigs!"
As for pig feed on the mountain, needless to say, it's already autumn, and even if there were any, they would be dying of drought.
Ultimately, the Wu family still wants to cooperate with them!
After listening to her son's words, Ms. Qian's eyes showed a hint of helplessness.
"That Wu family is scum. Even if they were pigs, they deserved to die!"
Madam Qian has never had a good temper. She bullied their son and schemed against their uncle. She remembers all of this!
Five thousand taels of silver!
That's not just a little bit; it's something they're going to make their whole family unable to afford to pay!
"Mother is right!" Tang Cheng nodded, agreeing with what Qian Shi said.
Just as they were talking, a carriage arrived at the Qian family's door.
"Excuse me, is Wang Xiuer home?"
An old woman called from outside the door.
Mrs. Qian and her son exchanged a glance, both feeling that this person was probably up to no good.
Tang Cheng got up and walked outside.
Wang Xiuer also came out of the house. She touched her round belly and wondered who had come to see her.
"Who are you?" Tang Cheng stood at the door and looked towards the carriage.
The carriage curtain was lifted by a pale white hand.
A pretty and gentle face then appeared.
Upon closer inspection, this woman bears a striking resemblance to Wang Xiuer, except that she appears much gentler.
Looking at Wang Xiuer again, she looked like a little piglet who had just finished eating...
"Wang Xiang'er greets Young Master Tang!"
Wang Xiang'er stepped down from the carriage, and with the help of the old woman, bowed to Tang Cheng.
Tang Cheng paused slightly, after all, his second sister-in-law was always so loud and boisterous whenever she saw him.
Looking at the similar faces now, but with completely different temperaments, he always felt that something was not quite right.
"Hey... Wang Xiang'er, what are you doing here? Let me tell you, my older brother already has a wife, and my husband also has a wife. Don't even think about it!"
Wang Xiuer pushed Tang Cheng aside, and in doing so, pulled Tang Cheng into the situation as well.
Tang Cheng...
The Qian family, who had just come out...
The two of them looked at Wang Xiuer, who resembled a fierce, large hen.
Wang Xiang'er raised an eyebrow; she hadn't seen Wang Xiu'er for many years.
Upon meeting, his brows furrowed slightly.
Sure enough, she's still just as annoying!
If it weren't for the old man's matter, she wouldn't want to see her cousin at all.
"Cousin, it's been a long time!" Wang Xiang'er said gently to Wang Xiu'er.
Wang Xiuer's face immediately turned extremely dark!
Here she comes again, and her mother is here again, nagging all the while!
Wang Xiuer put her hands on her hips and snorted coldly: "Oh, it's been so long! I wish I'd never see you again in this lifetime. Why do you have to come here and let me scold you? You're asking for it!"
Wang Xiuer was tricked by Wang Xianger several times back then.
When she first got engaged, everything was fine at first, but then her fiancé somehow got involved with Wang Xiang'er.
Her life was unfortunate; she hadn't even planned to get married and was giving her man to Wang Xiang'er.
Wang Xiang'er, however, began to ruin her own reputation in public.
Thinking about all this, Wang Xiuer became somewhat angry.
“Cousin, why do you say that? I was young and reckless before, and I didn’t know any better. I know I was wrong now. We are all family…” Wang Xiang’er looked at Wang Xiu’er with a hurt expression.
Wang Xiuer rolled her eyes and said directly, "Give it a rest. We're all old foxes, who are you going to act out a ghost story for!"
The Qian family didn't know much about Wang Xiuer's family affairs.
However, Wang Xiuer's family doesn't sound like a reliable place either.
Wang Xiang'er gritted her teeth, feeling extremely annoyed. Sure enough, this shrew didn't understand anything.
She glanced around and saw Wu Youcai over there, and her heart stirred slightly.
If I win this time, I will become Wu Shan's real wife.
As for that obese one, he's practically dying from his illness, so he's nothing to worry about.
Wu Youcai, on the other hand, has changed quite a bit since he got out of prison.
We need to be careful!
Seeing that Wang Xiang'er remained silent while her eyes darted around, Wang Xiu'er sneered, "Hey, can you stop rolling your eyes? I feel like your abacus beads are about to jump into my face!"
"Don't think I don't know you're up to no good this time. Even if you are, I won't accept it!"
Wang Xiuer looked at Wang Xianger with some annoyance.
Just then, a cry of surprise suddenly came from the village school.
Wu Youcai actually kowtowed hard to Tang Si, until his head was bleeding.
Tang Si was still a young man after all, and when he saw Wu Youcai's appearance, his brows furrowed.
"Wu Youcai, I've already said it, the past is the past. I accept your apology, but I don't forgive you. You can leave now!"
Tang Si stood in front of Xiao Su Bao, his eyes slightly cold.
"If you don't forgive me, I have no face to leave!" Wu Youcai lowered his head and continued to kowtow.
Tang Si pulled Xiao Su Bao and turned to leave, but to their surprise, the servant who had been following Wu Youcai also knelt down and kowtowed in front of them.
Fu Manduo was furious at Wu Youcai's shameless coercion.
The young girl said sternly, "Wu Youcai, don't think I don't know what you're up to! Your goal isn't to get Fourth Brother to forgive you, is it?"
Fu Manduo looked at Tang Si and said directly, "Fourth Brother, don't be fooled by this guy. He's just here to scam water and food from us!"
As Fu Lin's biological daughter, she knows quite a bit about Fu Lin and the Wu family.
Especially since she also has a little tiger, any major event in An County will reach her side.
Wu Youcai paused slightly, then looked up at Tang Si.
“Miss Fu, I’m not trying to deceive you, but if so many pigs die, the people of An County will have no pork to eat. Even if you don’t care about the Wu family, what about all the people of An County…”
Wu Youcai is trying to morally blackmail Tang Si and his group!
only……
"But didn't you say before that you didn't have any pigs left? And Su Bao remembers that all the pork in An County is now supplied by our village!"
When the baby's soft, babyish voice came, Wu Youcai's expression changed instantly.
He hadn't expected the little girl to react so quickly.
Fortunately, he had thought of all of these things...
"Regardless of what happened before, these pigs now..."
Before Wu Youcai could speak, Xiao Subao's crisp little voice continued, "They weren't raised by our family, so naturally we don't need to take care of them. Besides, this has nothing to do with Fourth Brother!"
"You can go to Uncle Fu. He's the county magistrate; he'll definitely be willing to help you!"
Little Su Bao looked at Wu Youcai, her big eyes blinking, her face full of innocence.
Wu Youcai...
This girl seems even more ruthless than before; everything she says is spot on.
If you don't want this, then you're missing the point!
How am I supposed to explain this?
"My Su Bao is right. If you have any problems, go to the county magistrate, and he'll help you raise pigs!"
Fu Manduo was overjoyed. She felt that the best thing she had ever done in her life was becoming friends with Xiao Su Bao.
Look at this friend, isn't he great!
Little Su Bao smiled shyly and looked at Wu Youcai, seemingly expecting praise!
Wu Youcai pursed his lips, momentarily at a loss for words.
Just then, Wang Xiang'er's voice came: "Cai Ge'er, you're here!"
Wu Youcai's expression changed slightly, and a hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.
He truly loathed his father's concubine.
His mother is now unable to leave because of this woman.
"I'll do anything you want as long as you agree to help!"
Wu Youcai looked at Tang Si with a pleading expression on his face.
Tang Si pursed his lips, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"This is not something I can decide, Wu Youcai, you're overthinking it!"
Tang Si ignored Wu Youcai, grabbed Xiao Su Bao, and turned to leave.
Just then, Wu Youcai suddenly said, "Tang Si, do you still remember her?"
"If you agree to help me, I'll tell you where she is right now!" Wu Youcai suddenly shouted at Tang Si.
Tang Si turned to look at Wu Youcai almost immediately.
Wang Xiang'er frowned slightly. She looked at Tang Si, then at Wu Youcai, her eyes flickering.
"She's being forced into blind dates by her parents now. If you really don't care..."
Wu Youcai stared intently at Tang Si, his face full of determination.
After all, Wu Youcai and Tang Si really fell out because of her.
Tang Si looked at Wu Youcai, pursed his lips, and a strange look appeared in his eyes: "I can't be the boss of the village!"
“But if you tell me where she is, I can help you ask my older brother and the others!” Tang Si took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly.
This is the only thing he can do now.
If Wu Youcai doesn't agree...
Wu Youcai immediately smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you help me, I'll tell you about her current situation!"
Little Su Bao is very perceptive of a person's emotions, especially since Tang Si is holding her hand right now.
The little dumpling looked at Tang Si with a puzzled expression in its eyes.
"It's a deal!" Tang Si pursed his lips, turned around and left.
Fumanduo frowned slightly as he watched this scene.
However, he sighed in the end and didn't say anything more.
Tang Dabao and the others exchanged glances and immediately thought of a name.
The Qian family also heard this, and their brows furrowed slightly.
Tang Si harbors a secret...
Ms. Qian had been summoned by the teacher once before because of this matter.
Thinking of this, Madam Qian frowned even more deeply.
“Brother Cai, we’re all family. Why are you still hiding secrets?” Wang Xiang’er walked up to Wu Youcai.
Wu Youcai gave Wang Xiang'er a cold look, then bowed respectfully to the Qian family.
"Wu Youcai greets Auntie and Brother Tang!"
After Wu Youcai finished speaking, he stood aside without saying a word.
Wang Xiang'er was so angry she gritted her teeth. This kid was now completely unyielding and very difficult to please.
"I forgot to introduce you all, Wu Youcai is my husband's son!" Wang Xiang'er shamelessly said to everyone.
Wu Youcai raised an eyebrow and gave Wang Xiang'er a disdainful look.
"Don't say that. You're just a concubine, while I'm the eldest son of the Wu family. What are you to me!"
When Wu Youcai spoke to Wang Xiang'er, he remained the same as always, with little change in his expression.
This surprised Tang Si and the others slightly, especially Wu Youcai, whose disgust for Wang Xiang'er was almost undisguised.
Wang Xiang'er's smile faltered; she narrowed her eyes and gave Wu Youcai a cool look.
“Cai-ge’er, I know you’ve grown up now, but no matter what, I’m still your elder, and I’ve always taken care of your mother. Is this how you treat your elders?”
Wang Xiang'er glanced at the Qian family and then said, "Sorry, I've made you laugh!"
"If you know you're a joke, then don't go out and let people see you!"
Wang Xiuer rolled her eyes. Compared to Wu Youcai, she disliked Wang Xianger more; it was an instinctive aversion.
Wang Xiang'er was about to be driven mad by Wang Xiu'er.
But there's no good solution right now.
Just as she was about to speak, Madam Qian spoke up, her eyes cold and her tone devoid of any kindness!
"Young lady, you should go back first. My daughter-in-law is pregnant. It wouldn't be good if you upset her!"
Madam Qian held Wang Xiuer's hand and stood on her daughter-in-law's side.
Wang Xiuer raised her chin and looked at Wang Xianger with arrogance.
Wang Xiang'er's face was extremely ugly. She was about to speak when she heard Wu Youcai continue, "Someone, take the concubine back. Also, tell my father that he doesn't need to worry about things here. I will handle it myself!"
The coachman glanced at Wang Xiang'er, then at his young master.
Finally, he exchanged a glance with the old woman.
"Auntie, you should go back first!" The old woman stepped forward and gently tugged at Wang Xiang'er's clothes.
Before Wang Xiang'er could say anything more, she heard Wang Xiu'er say, "If you keep dawdling and don't leave, I'll have my husband come back and beat you up right now!"
"Mom, tell me who you want to beat up, I'll do it!"
Just then, Tang Sanbao finished his lesson and rushed over with his sleeves rolled up.
Wang Xiang'er, who had been harboring some thoughts, was suddenly startled by Tang Sanbao's ferocious appearance.
She didn't care about anything else and hurriedly got into the carriage, telling the driver to drive away quickly.
Wang Xiuer frowned slightly as she watched Wang Xiang'er leave.
Little Su Bao also rushed over at this moment, placing her little hand on Wang Xiuer's stomach.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, little nephew, don't be afraid, your aunt and your mother will protect you!" the little dumpling said in a sweet, cuddly voice.
My stomach, which had been restless just moments before, actually calmed down a bit after the little dumpling finished speaking.
Suddenly, a small bump, whether it was a hand or a foot, gently touched Xiao Su Bao's hand.
Little Su Bao was smiling, but her brows furrowed instantly.
How could my nephew be so...unlucky...?
Little Su Bao's face was full of seriousness.
Wang Xiuer and Qian Shi, who were standing nearby, were both startled.
Especially Qian's hands were trembling slightly.
Tang Cheng was also a little nervous. He said to Tang Sanbao, "Hurry up and help your mother inside to rest. Can't you see how big her belly is?"
Madam Qian also realized what was happening and quickly reached out to help Wang Xiuer leave.
Looking at their family, Wu Youcai felt an indescribable envy.
After the Qian family went inside, Wu Youcai followed Tang Si inside as well.
He glanced at the carriage out of the corner of his eye, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
He wanted to replace his mother; he wanted to see what this woman was capable of!
Upon entering the courtyard, Wu Youcai was slightly taken aback.
There were quite a few strange grains drying in the courtyard of this farmhouse.
That was something I had never seen before!
Could these be what you call corn?
He had heard some of it from his father before!
"Are you... how is she now?" Tang Si, who had been quiet for a long time, suddenly took a deep breath and asked.
Wu Youcai snapped out of his daze and looked at Tang Si.
Before Tang Si could speak, she said, "She's not doing well right now!"
"What happened?" Tang Si asked anxiously.
"Because she ran away to study, her parents locked her up. Last month, I heard she was getting married!"
Tang Si felt a slight tightness in his chest. He pursed his lips, but his mind was filled with memories of her!
"Tang Xiaosi, do you even know the answer to this question?"
"Tang Xiaosi, can you help me out?"
"Tang Xiaosi, you're amazing!"
"Tang Xiaosi, I like you..."
Tang Si felt a tightness in his chest, and his eyes glazed over for a moment.
"Fourth brother, are you alright?"
Little Su Bao came over at some point, her eyes filled with worry.
