Chapter 299: Unfortunately - The Sickly Young Auntie's Daily Life of Eating Watermelons in the Courtyard

As soon as Lin Qing returned home, she saw Lin's mother and others looking outside from time to time, and her heart was full of doubts.

"Mom! What are you doing?"

"Ah? We are waiting for those people in the front yard to come back." Lin's mother said casually.

"Why are you waiting for them? Where did they go?" Lin Qing was even more confused, because they didn't have a very good relationship with those people in the front yard.

"Alas, they may have gone to the suburbs today. Isn't it past the time for the bus to come back? They haven't come back yet. Just now, your mother Li was a little worried."

Lin Qing didn't take it seriously. She could be called cold-blooded, but she didn't care about them that much anyway. "They wanted to go to the suburbs on their own. Even if something happened, it's none of your business!"

Lin's mother gave her a look that said, "Why do you need to say that?"

Aunt Sui also echoed, "That's right, the responsibility is not ours."

Aunt Li looked at Aunt Sui and knew that she was afraid of being blamed. "Don't worry, don't worry. I've said before that I won't take the blame on myself. It wasn't me who asked them to go."

"That's how it should be." Lin Qing nodded.

"But you have to tell his family about their failure to return in time." Although Aunt Li did not intend to blame them, she also did not intend to ignore it.

Then the other three people had no objection.

It's just that things are a bit unfortunate. Today, except for those working in the office, everyone else in the factory has to work overtime.

Aunt Li waited for a long time, only for Lin Shu to come back, who also didn't have to work overtime.

Aunt Li thought about it and decided to say to her, "Lin Shu, Lin Shu!"

Lin Shu turned to look at Aunt Li, "Aunt Li, what can I do for you?"

"Did your mother-in-law tell you where she went today?"

"No, I don't know. I went to work a long time ago. Maybe my sister-in-law knows."

"Okay, since you don't know, I'll tell you too! Your mother-in-law went to the suburbs with the other aunts in the front yard. Now the buses coming back from the suburbs have all returned, but they are still nowhere to be seen. When your husband and his family come back, remember to tell them!"

"Oh! Okay!" Lin Shu nodded in agreement.

A secret joy rose in her heart, hoping that the old hag would never come back.

After giving her instructions, Aunt Li left. As for the others, we would have to wait until they came back.

After Aunt Li and Aunt Sui returned home, Lin Qing and Lin's mother also started preparing dinner.

"Mom, are we going to eat the rabbit meat we didn't finish yesterday?"

"Eat it. We only ate half of it yesterday. We can eat the other half tonight!"

"Okay, okay!" Lin Qing couldn't help swallowing.

Thinking of the delicious braised rabbit that she had yesterday, she couldn't wait to try it.

Mother Lin couldn't help laughing when she saw her daughter's greedy look, "Okay, go and light the fire."

"Okay!" Lin Qing skipped to the kitchen.

Lin's mother also followed her, but after taking two steps, she subconsciously glanced towards the west room and saw Lin Shu happily humming a song in her kitchen.

She frowned. She remembered that Aunt Li had just told her about that matter, so...isn't she anxious?

It can't be...

Mother Lin shook her head helplessly. Forget it, it’s not her business.

"Mom!" Lin Qing's anxious voice rang out from inside the house.

"Here it comes!" Lin's mother grinned.

After Lin Qing and her mother finished cooking dinner, Lin's father had already returned from the factory.

"father!"

"Hey! Is the food ready?"

"It's almost done, it's almost done, go wash your hands!" Lin Qing urged.

"Okay, okay!" Father Lin responded with a smile.

After the family enjoyed a hearty dinner, the topic returned to the yard.

After finishing his meal, Father Lin suddenly sighed, "Why does it feel so quiet today?"

"..."Lin Qing and Lin's mother looked at each other.

Mother Lin touched her nose and said, "The ladies in front of us went to the suburbs and haven't come back yet!"

"Ah?" Father Lin was a little shocked. "This...it's already so late."

"Oh, that's not right. What about the others?" Father Lin still felt something was wrong.

"Others are still working overtime and haven't come back yet!" Lin's mother explained.

"Ah? Overtime? Is that such a coincidence?" Father Lin really didn't expect such a coincidence to happen.

But, it just happened that Aunt Jiang and the others didn't come back, and almost everyone in their family was at work, so no one went to look for them.

As for these outsiders, we can't control so many things.

It's almost seven o'clock, and those who have been working overtime are just getting ready to go home.

The crowd who worked overtime returned to the yard and suddenly discovered that the front was half bright and half dark, which seemed particularly permeable.

"What's going on? Why is there no one here? Where are the people?" Uncle Zhou came back first.

What was different from the ones next door was that both of their rooms were dark at this time, and it was obvious that no one was there.

Those who followed Uncle Zhou were also surprised when they saw the situation in the yard.

Gu Hang took two quick steps. The house was dark. Where was his mother? Where was his wife?

Jiang Yang was a step slower and also saw the contrast between the left and right sides. He felt proud that someone was at home.

Jiang Yang pursed his lips, resisting the urge to curl his lips, and said with fake concern: "Hey! Gu Hang, why is there no one at your house?"

Gu Hang's face was solemn, he wanted to know too!

"Dad, Dad!" The next second, two kids ran out from the backyard and hugged one of Gu Hang's legs.

"Dabao and Xiaoniu, why aren't you staying at home?"

"Wuwuwu... There's no one here, grandma... is not here... my stepmother is missing!" Dabao cried.

"Woo woo..." the girl echoed.

"What's going on?" Gu Hang felt a little annoyed as he listened to the baby's buzzing cry. What was going on?

Fortunately, Aunt Li showed up in time and said, "Gu Hang!" She saw Grandpa Zhou and the others and quickly said, "Eh? It happens that you are all here. Come and listen!"

The expressions on everyone's faces froze, and they felt something was wrong.

"Everyone, I'm here specifically for these ladies in the front yard of our courtyard."

What happened to them?

Gu Hang and others looked at Aunt Li and blinked in confusion.

"They went to the suburbs today, and then they didn't come back with the bus. Now they are missing," Aunt Li said truthfully.

"What? Missing? How could he disappear out of the blue?" Just as Aunt Li finished her words, she heard Gu Hang's surprised question.
