Chapter 171 How about your second uncle arranges for her to be your wife?
Madam Qian wished she could beat Xiao Su Bao's maternal relatives to death; how much could a little child possibly eat...?
Um... even if Xiao Su Bao ate a little too much, her clothes look nice, she must be from a wealthy family.
How could they be so heartless!
Little Su Bao looked at Wang Xiuer and wiped her face clean with her little hands: "Second Sister-in-law is so good to Little Su Bao. Little Su Bao likes Second Sister-in-law very much, and also likes the meat that Second Sister-in-law makes."
Burnt meat isn't actually that tasty; it's a bit salty and bitter, and other kids probably wouldn't be able to eat a single bite.
But for Xiao Su Bao, it wasn't so hard to swallow. She had even eaten dirt when she was extremely hungry before, so this was nothing.
"Waaah, Su Bao, I wish you were my daughter..." Wang Xiuer hugged little Su Bao and cried with heartache.
The Qian family...
Fine, considering my daughter-in-law looked rather pitiful from crying, I'll let it go!
"I'm not eating anymore. Second sister-in-law's cooking isn't as good as eldest sister-in-law's or mother's. When we get back, I'll eat the meat that eldest sister-in-law makes!" Wang Xiuer stopped crying, took Xiao Su Bao's hand, and walked towards the house.
The people of Tangjia Village had already dealt with the thick smoke.
However, no one came out at this moment.
"What's going on?" a villager couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know!" another person replied.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Finally, Tang Cheng took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Hunchback, please go and invite the magistrate here!"
"Alright! Everyone else, get out of here!" Tang Cheng said, looking at them.
Although the people of Tangjia Village were curious, they obediently went out as soon as Tang Cheng spoke.
Seeing their strange expressions, Madam Qian couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Tang Xin's father said, "Do you think these rich people are crazy? So many books and pamphlets, why are they just left in the kitchen? Aren't they afraid someone will burn them?"
Mrs. Qian was taken aback, clearly not knowing what he was talking about.
Su Daya's father, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but speak up: "I think that thing might be some precious book that someone has hidden away!"
Yun Qi happened to be with Tang Cheng at that moment. The two looked at each other and realized that these were not books, but account books.
If Tang Cheng's guess is correct, the ledger does contain records of the children being sold.
His heart sank to the bottom.
If they are all...
Just how many children have been abducted?
A child went missing in their Tangjia Village a few years ago...
In the surrounding villages, big and small, countless children have gone missing. But people are starving and cold, and although they are heartbroken by the loss of their children, they still have to keep living.
Now that he has become the head of these villages, he harbors a deep hatred for these money-grubbers.
"You..." Tang Cheng was taken aback when he saw Yun Qi pick up a booklet and glance at it.
"I'll just take a look..." he said, flipping through the book, his brows furrowing instantly.
"Greetings, Magistrate!" A commotion arose outside, and Yun Qi quickly put the booklet away.
Fulin hurried in and immediately saw a box that had been carried out.
He walked quickly over, picked up a notebook, and glanced at it.
Upon seeing this, his expression instantly turned ugly.
"Have you seen it?" He looked at Tang Cheng and Yun Qi.
He especially glanced at Yun Qi.
"We dare not look, we are waiting for the adults to come and make a decision!" Yun Qi said respectfully.
Tang Cheng was puzzled, but after thinking about it, he decided to keep it a secret for Yun Qi.
Fu Lin didn't notice Tang Cheng's expression; at that moment, he felt that the Tang family was indeed his lucky star.
Putting everything else aside, if I were to report this matter, it would probably immediately earn me a bad reputation.
Taking a deep breath, Fulin looked at the clerk and said, "Clerk, go and have someone guard all these things carefully, and don't allow anyone to approach them..."
After a pause, Fulin asked, "How did you discover these things?"
Tang Cheng then told Fu Lin about what had happened.
Fu Lin was taken aback and gave Wang Xiuer a strange look.
"Ahem, so you found these things while you were putting out the fire?" Fulin was at a loss for words.
The Tang family's luck is truly unbelievable; they even managed to find such a hidden item.
Tang Cheng nodded, a strange look on his face.
Fulin glanced at the place where the box was hidden, and his eyelids twitched.
These things were placed at the bottom of the water tank...
But who exactly broke that person's water tank?
Never mind, that's not the most important thing. After receiving all these things, Fulin felt exhausted.
But he still had to lead a search of the entire courtyard.
"Su Bao, Mom, let's go back!" Wang Xiuer said somewhat guiltily.
After all, I almost set the kitchen on fire just now!
"Go back what? Get out of here tonight, don't sleep with us anymore, go find your man!" Madam Qian turned around, pulled Tang Qi over and threw him to Wang Xiuer, then turned and walked away with Xiao Su Bao and Fu Man Duo.
"Little Su Bao... Mother, how could you abandon me!" Wang Xiuer cried out, but Tang Qi took her away directly.
Besides this kitchen, the Wang family has another kitchen. In any case, I need to take my wife to take a bath first!
Ms. Qian took Xiao Su Bao and Fu Man Duo back to their room.
Only then did Fu Manduo breathe a sigh of relief and look at Qian Shi, saying, "Aunt Qian, Second Sister-in-law is amazing, even more amazing than my father!"
The Qian family...
How can you even compare them?
That fool's mistake was just a coincidence...
She paused, then glanced at Xiao Su Bao. Perhaps it was because of Xiao Su Bao that their family's luck had changed!
With tenderness in her eyes, Qian looked at Xiao Su Bao and said, "Su Bao was so scared today. Go to bed early tonight, and we'll go back to the village first thing tomorrow morning!"
Little Su Bao nodded, also feeling a bit tired.
Although she was strong, she was young and her spirit was already starting to give out. She had learned to fall asleep instantly at the Lan family.
Lying in bed, the little dumpling looked at Qian Shi and Fu Manduo a second ago and said, "Goodnight, Mother. Goodnight, Sister Fu."
"Goodnight, Su Bao!" the two said in unison.
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that Xiao Su Bao had already closed her eyes.
Qian lovingly covered her with a blanket, and Fu Manduo quickly fell asleep.
She didn't know why she felt exceptionally safe and sound when she slept with Qian Shi and Xiao Su Bao.
On the other side, Yun Qi and Mo Bao were in a room. Yun Qi's face was gloomy, and Mo Bao, who was beside her, also sensed something.
He turned to look at Yun Qi, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Mobao finally couldn't help but ask.
Because Yun Qi was the teacher, the people of Tangjia Village insisted on leaving him a room, so it was just the two of them here.
Yun Qi gave Mo Bao a deep look, which made Mo Bao feel a little uncomfortable. Just as he was about to speak, Yun Qi suddenly smiled.
"I feel like you really like that little girl. Otherwise, how about your second uncle finds her to be your wife?" Yun Qi teased.
