The missing person notice listed Chi Sanhe's name and address at the brick factory.
Sure enough, someone said they had seen An'an, so they went to the brick factory to look for Chi Sanhe.
Chi Sanhe quickly ran back.
"Really? Where? Where have I seen An'an before?" Aunt Chi sat up in surprise, as if the pain in her back had suddenly disappeared.
His eyes were full of surprise.
Wow, we heard news so quickly?
Very good.
"He won't talk until we pay him first," Chi Sanhe cried anxiously. "Mother, give me some money first, and I'll go get news of An'an."
Otherwise, why would he have run back first?
The missing person notice naturally promised a reward if the information was true.
but……
"He's asking for money before even providing any information? What if he's a scammer?" Aunt Chi asked.
"But just because of this, should we miss out on An'an's news and just ignore it?"
Chi Sanhe shouted somewhat irritably.
Having finally received news of his son, he didn't want to let it go, even if he might be being scammed.
Aunt Chi naturally understood this principle. She first took out five taels of silver from the money box and solemnly handed it to Chi Sanhe before slowly saying:
“Sanhe, it’s not that I’m unwilling to spend the money. I’m worried that if it’s a scam, we can accept being fooled once or twice, but if it happens too many times, we’ll run out of money. Then when we actually get news of An’an, we won’t have any money left to exchange. Wouldn’t that be heartbreaking?”
Seeing his mother take out the silver, Chi Sanhe felt relieved.
This time, after listening to my mother again, I realized she made some sense.
"Then what should I do, Mother? If I only give him a portion of the money, I'm afraid he won't tell me. What should I do?"
"Talk to him nicely. If that doesn't work, find a middleman to be a witness. Make sure you're absolutely sure that the information he's giving is indeed about An'an before you give him all the money, understand?"
Chi Sanhe rolled his eyes.
Isn't that obvious?
He's not stupid; can't he handle this simple matter?
He immediately said "Don't worry" and left in a hurry.
For some reason, after Chi Sanhe left, Aunt Chi's heart couldn't settle down, especially at dusk, when her heart would pound and she felt as if something big was about to happen.
Even if Chi Tang tried to coax her with her charm and cuteness, it was no use.
That evening, Chi Sanhe did not return.
The family waited patiently for Chi Dashan to return, hoping to get to the bottom of things, only to find that Chi Dashan knew nothing about it!
"Could it be that Third Brother has swindled the money and run away?"
Chi Wuhu felt a little scared when he thought about what had happened to the Li family before.
As soon as he spoke, he was slapped.
Old Man Chi cursed, "Shut your stinking mouth! Your third brother may be a bit unreliable sometimes, but he would never be that kind of person!"
Chi Wuhu knew he had gone too far, so he smiled sheepishly, rubbed his sore head, and didn't dare to say another word.
"I'm just worried that instead of finding out about An'an, we might end up with him!" Aunt Chi said anxiously, her lips turning pale.
After Chi Sanhe left, Aunt Chi could only drink water at most and couldn't eat anything.
Lately, my family has been having a run of bad luck.
Why are I having so many unlucky things happen to me?
Chi Dashan stomped his foot angrily: "It's one thing if it's someone else, but I'm also at the brick factory, why didn't he say hello to me? Now I don't even know where he went, and I can't find him!"
Are we just supposed to stay home and worry?
Before long, Li Mingfan and Old Man Li also arrived.
Li Mingfan said, "Why don't you come with me to town to look for it, Dashan? Staying at home all the time is making you more anxious."
Although I don't know where he went, it's not good to just wait at home all the time.
Chi Dashan thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Sister-in-law Chi hurriedly grabbed a thick coat and instructed, "If you can't find it, come back. Don't let your parents worry about you two anymore!"
"Yes, Dashan, Fan'er, you two search around. If no one is there, come back quickly. If all else fails, report to the authorities first thing tomorrow morning."
Old Man Chi also hurriedly gave instructions.
Don't let it be like throwing a meat bun to a dog, never to return.
After seeing Chi Dashan and Li Mingfan off, the family returned to their house.
As soon as the curtain was lifted, a gust of cold wind blew in.
Chi Tang shivered.
"Achoo!"
The baby sneezed.
Aunt Chi hurriedly called out, "Quickly close the door."
Don't let your daughter catch a cold.
"Mother, don't worry too much. Sanhe isn't stupid. If he really didn't have any clues about An'an, he wouldn't have stayed away until now, right? The fact that he hasn't come back now might mean that he has really found clues about An'an."
Sister-in-law Chi was comforting her mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law's back injury hadn't healed yet, and if she got anxious or stressed, it would make her feel even worse.
"I hope so."
Aunt Chi has no other choice but to hope that God will protect them.
About an hour later, Li Mingfan and Chi Dashan returned, saying they had not found Chi Sanhe.
Moreover, the town gates had already been sealed off, so they could only search around the town.
"Alright, everyone go to sleep. We'll talk about it tomorrow," Old Man Chi called out.
As for sleeping, I definitely won't be able to sleep.
But there's no news at all, and the city gates are closed. Where can they look?
The babies were fast asleep.
For some reason, Chi Tang didn't dream about anything this time.
This left Chi Tang somewhat frustrated.
Wasn't Third Brother in danger this time?
Why didn't her precognitive abilities appear?
Was there no danger, or had her precognitive abilities disappeared?
Filled with doubt and unease, Chi Tang fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Sister-in-law Chi got up early and made steamed buns.
Then, without stopping, he brewed medicine for his mother and mother-in-law.
"Mom, no matter how anxious you are, you have to take your medicine on time, otherwise the injury on your back won't heal, and everyone will be worried."
Sister-in-law Chi patiently offered her advice.
Chi Tang, who had just woken up, got up and kissed her mother, "Mom, drink your medicine, be good!"
Seeing her daughter and daughter-in-law so worried and anxious, she didn't want her family to worry, so she forced herself to eat an egg, didn't touch the steamed bun, and drank the medicine.
The dark, bitter herbs wafted their acrid smell, trying to assault anyone's nose.
Just the smell alone makes it taste extremely bitter.
But Aunt Chi seemed oblivious and drank it all in one gulp.
Sister-in-law Chi swallowed hard, packed her things, and left.
At this point, no amount of persuasion will help.
I wonder if Dashan and his father-in-law found it when they went to town.
This wait lasted for an hour!
Just as Sister-in-law Chi was carrying Si Lang and Wu Lang out to play in the yard, she suddenly saw Chi Dashan running back in a panic.
"Something terrible has happened! Sanhe has been arrested by the county government, accused of murder!"
This news was like a bolt from the blue, instantly devastating everyone!
