The group rode at full speed and arrived in the capital in less than two hours.
Liu Demiao led his men to the household that delivered vegetables to the Yongchang Earl's Mansion.
"...That's the situation. Xiaoqing, do you think it's convenient for you to help with this?" Liu Demiao didn't immediately ask someone to make arrangements.
Instead, they thoughtfully asked if it was convenient for them.
The young man named Xiaoqing was dark-skinned and looked very capable.
He scratched his head: "There's nothing inconvenient about it. How about this, tomorrow I'll bring someone with me to deliver the vegetables, and then when we get there, we'll ask someone to call An'an over to confirm if she's your child. Then we'll figure out a solution, okay?"
This is currently the safest approach.
We can't just start looking for someone in a big way before we've even made a decision, can we?
If something goes wrong, they'll be in deep trouble!
No matter how anxious the Chi family was, they wouldn't mind waiting a day or two.
After resting for a while, Old Man Chi took Chi Sanhe to buy things.
They were back in half an hour.
A small bag of rice, a small bag of millet, and a small bag of wheat flour, ten pounds each.
There is also a hind leg and a piece of pork belly, both weighing five jin (2.5 kg).
There were also two boxes of pastries and a bolt of cloth.
When Xiaoqing's mother saw so many things, she was completely stunned.
We haven't even found the child yet, so why did you buy so much stuff? What if the child turns out to be missing and you have to ask for it back?
"Auntie, please don't worry. Our family will be staying here for another day, and we'll be staying here tonight... It's really bothering us."
"Regarding the child, whether or not the child is found, your family has been kind to my family."
Old Man Chi also said, "Yes, please accept it quickly, so we can feel more at ease."
Where can you find help for no reason?
But as long as they're willing to help, I'll give them something.
Nothing is more important than An'an.
"Look at the mess this has made. We were just doing a good deed, look at this..."
As she said this, Xiao Qingniang didn't stop rummaging through the things under her hands.
He beamed with joy when he saw that the two boxes of pastries were famous in town and each box cost two taels of silver.
"...I feel at ease living here, just like I'm at home."
"Oh dear, little chubby girl, shall Grandma go get you a bowl of steamed egg custard?"
Aunt Chi was helpless.
How come I'm taking advantage of her?
Does she still need to call her "Auntie"?
These were all minor incidents.
After settling into Xiaoqing's house, the Chi family members tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Everyone was very excited.
When I woke up the next day, I had dark circles under my eyes.
Later, Old Man Chi and Chi Sanhe almost got into a fight, just because they were arguing over who could visit An'an that day.
"I'm the biological father!"
"You unreliable bastard, you still remember you're the biological father? Have you forgotten how the child got lost?"
Old Man Chi ruthlessly stabbed his son in the heart.
It has to be plugged in.
What if the third brother messes things up again? Wouldn't that be the end of us?
"father!"
Chi Sanhe's eyes reddened as he pleaded, "Dad, please let me go. An'an probably wants to see me the most right now."
The others' eyes dimmed.
The person the child probably wants to see most right now is his biological mother.
But Little Zhou is already...
"Alright, dad, stop arguing. As long as it's An'an, it doesn't matter who goes," Aunt Chi gave in first.
Sanhe also realized that he had made a mistake.
This time it shouldn't go wrong.
Chi Sanhe nodded vigorously, swearing, "If I can't bring An'an back this time, I won't have the face to come back."
After saying that, he turned around and left briskly.
A short while later, Chi Sanhe and Xiao Qing pushed the cart away together.
"Hey! What's wrong with you, woman? Didn't you agree to let me go?" Old Man Chi said to his wife, arguing.
to be honest.
Deep down, Old Man Chi simply didn't trust his third son.
Of his six children, Old Man Chi values and trusts his eldest son the most, and loves his only daughter, Tangtang, the most.
The person Dingding distrusts and even dislikes is his third son.
Because this son is lazy and greedy!
In his eyes, these were all major flaws!
In addition, Xiao Zhou's repeated tantrums accumulated Old Man Chi's dissatisfaction with his third son.
It wasn't until Silang had his accident and An'an went missing that Old Man Chi became utterly disappointed in his son!
"So what do you do? You and your son have a fight to decide who goes and who doesn't? Chi Yongcai, use your brain! Does An'an want to see you, or does she want to see her own father?!"
They're from different generations, don't you understand?
A generation apart, many things are different.
"No need. Even if An'an gets more excited when she sees Sanhe, so what? Isn't our goal to bring An'an home?"
"The purpose today is just to see if it's An'an. It doesn't matter who goes."
The elderly couple started arguing back and forth like this.
Chi Tang was quite helpless. She patiently offered a few words of advice, but it was no use.
Once the old couple starts arguing, they won't listen to any advice.
Before long, Old Man Chi stormed out, and nobody knew where he went!
Aunt Chi grumbled and complained for a while, then started to worry again: "What a rascal your dad is! Why does he have to go out like that? If he can't tell east from west, he won't be able to come back!"
"If An'an is still missing by then, and he gets lost first, then he'll be something else!"
Chi Tang asked helplessly, "Mother, aren't you concerned about my father? Why do you have to say it like that?"
