“Chief, this Shi Hongxing said she really doesn’t know how charcoal is made. She thinks it’s dirty and cold outside, so she has never gone there with anyone.”
"Hmph. How could you know absolutely nothing? Continue the interrogation!"
"But Shi Hongxing really seems to know nothing, and she's starting to feel overwhelmed..."
The old clan chief stroked his white beard and sneered, "She was just a D. woman. The Chi family didn't even bother to look for her. She's dead, so be it."
"Yes, I understand."
After returning to the secluded house, someone came to greet them.
"How is it?"
"Play around as much as you want, it doesn't matter if you die, just clean it up."
The man waved his hand, and the four or five burly men under his command immediately opened the door to the secret room with lewd smiles.
Soon after, a woman's screams came from inside!
About four hours later, a silent man carried a bucket of fresh meat and fed it to the dogs in the backyard of the Wang family mansion...
"Remember this, don't utter a single word! Otherwise, death will be the only thing waiting for you!"
"I understand, I understand."
The group worked together to clean the secret room, and then warned the driver not to talk nonsense.
Those who work for the Wang family are now mostly loyal to them, so naturally they wouldn't speak carelessly.
Upon learning this, Elder Wang cursed, "What bad luck! We haven't gotten a single useful piece of information."
The subordinate immediately flattered, "But if we kill Shi Hongxing, I imagine the second son of the Chi family will be heartbroken, right? I heard he cherishes this wife very much."
"Hmph! This is a small way of venting my anger!" The old clan chief Wang felt a sense of satisfaction just thinking about how the Chi family would be saddened and conflicted because of this.
He then instructed, "Hurry up and investigate, find out exactly how charcoal is made! If our Wang family masters this technology, then the Wang family can rise to prominence!"
The Wang family is now relying on their youngest daughter!
Like duckweed!
Now that their youngest daughter's future is uncertain, the Wang family will have to find another way out.
The Wang family probably had no idea how excited the Chi family was about Shi Hongxing's disappearance!
If Aunt Chi knew that it was the Wang family who did it, she might express her sincerest gratitude to the Wang family!
——
The Chi family specially built a shed to store the charcoal, otherwise they would have nowhere to put it.
After all, there are several thousand kilograms of charcoal.
After a brief period of disappointment, the Chi family calmed down and were actually quite happy about the unexpected windfall of fifty taels of silver.
Old Man Chi took it upon himself to distribute the food directly to the children.
Each of the five sons received six taels of silver, and then the daughter received ten taels of silver, leaving the old couple with ten taels of silver.
As for the one or two taels of silver given by the Wang family, Aunt Chi went to town that very night and bought all the pork ribs and meat!
The whole family, along with the Li family, enjoyed a wonderful meal!
After finishing his meal, Old Man Chi announced, "I think we should stop making a fuss. Let's just stay here quietly until your older brother and the others are released next spring, then we'll move."
In Qingshui Town, the influence of the Wang family will still be felt.
So they thought it was better to move.
"Moving? Where are you planning to move to, Dad?" Chi Sanhe asked while gnawing on a rib.
Silang, standing nearby, was almost stunned: "Father, won't your stomach burst?"
These bones are almost piled up into a small mountain!
The whole family had finished eating, except for his dad who was still eating.
Chi Sanhe ignored his son and focused on eating.
"I'd like to ask Chenyi's opinion. I'm thinking of finding a quiet town near the capital to live in. That way, if Chenyi finds out about An'an, we'll know sooner."
Old Man Chi had given it much thought.
They don't lack money now.
Moving to a different place would actually allow us to use this money. Once the eldest son is born, we can move and then buy land.
With land and food, one can feel at ease.
Being closer to the capital not only makes it easier to visit Chenyi, but most importantly, it's for An'an!
"Father, Mother, I actually have an idea..."
Chi Sanhe put down the ribs in his hand, his mouth still glistening with oil: "I want to entrust Silang to your care, and then I will set off on my own to search for An'an in the surrounding villages, towns, and cities."
His body was still recovering from the beating, and the death of Xiao Zhoushi left him feeling listless.
He's been busy with charcoal these past few days, so he's been suppressing his thoughts.
Now that my parents have decided to do nothing but wait for my older brother to be released, he can leave too.
"You're traveling alone?"
"right."
"But what if Chenyi gets any news? We won't be able to contact you."
Chi Sanhe was stunned for a moment.
This seems to be a problem.
Can……
"But I can't just stay at home and wait forever, can I? Here's what we'll do: I'll come back before my older brother comes out next spring, whether he's found or not. Even if Chenyi and the others are found, I... well, that's the suffering I deserve."
Chi Sanhe had made up his mind.
Just a second ago, Chi Sanhe was still the same useless person who kept eating.
But at that moment, I suddenly realized the responsibility of being a father.
After a long silence, Old Man Chi said to Aunt Chi, "Old woman, go to town tomorrow to buy some cotton, make two cotton-padded clothes for Sanhe, make a few more pairs of shoes, and give him the money."
That's how a father should be!
Although searching aimlessly in the dead of winter would be very tiring.
But that's to be expected.
