By the time Shen Xingchen discovered that the three little ones were missing, it was already twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

Because the pigs have been slaughtered, we can eat the "pig-killing meal".

Usually, the three little ones are most active when it comes to eating and never miss a meal!

The three of them have had big appetites since they were young, and they are not picky about food. They love to eat everything, and this is even more so now that they have grown up.

But Shen Xingchen waited and waited and didn't see the three of them come back, so he went to ask Mai Chunni's son Niu Niu.

Because the three little ones had played with Niu Niu before.

As a result, Niu Niu didn't come back either.

Mai Chunni didn't take it seriously at all and comforted Shen Xingchen:

"It's okay, Zhenyin and the others don't come back to the village often, so they must have played too much and accidentally forgot about it.

When the children are hungry, they will know to come back naturally, don't worry."

Shen Xingchen thought, maybe that’s the case, Zhenyin and the others were having so much fun that it’s possible that they forgot about dinner time.

However, when he turned around and was about to go back, he saw Wang Meng from the factory security department, walking towards him with Niu Niu in his arms.

The most important thing is that there was a bandage wrapped around Niu Niu’s head, and you could vaguely see some blood seeping out.

Shen Xingchen's heart suddenly tightened, and suddenly an ominous premonition came to his mind.

Mai Chunni also saw it.

Her son was injured, and she immediately lost her composure. She ran forward and asked, "What happened?"

Wang Meng replied, "Someone found it in the stinking ditch behind the mountain. Its head was broken and Doctor Ma bandaged it."

Mai Chunni touched her son's head distressedly and called softly, "Niuniu, wake up."

But Niu Niu remained in a coma and would not wake up no matter how Mai Chunni called him.

Seeing this, Shen Xingchen stepped forward and suggested, "Let's take him to the hospital."

Mai Chunni was already frightened. Upon hearing this, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"

So she immediately called out her husband Chen Jiushan loudly.

Chen Jiushan is Mai Laosan's secretary. In order to make work more convenient, Mai Laosan bought a car last year and Chen Jiushan went to learn how to drive.

As soon as he saw his son was in trouble, he immediately picked him up and walked towards the factory.

He turned around and said to Shen Xingchen, "Brother-in-law, please go back and tell Uncle San that I can use the car."

"Okay, go quickly, I will definitely pass on the message."

Afterwards, Shen Xingchen immediately asked Wang Meng if he had seen his three little ones.

Wang Meng: "No, I only saw Niu Niu. They may have gone back to ask adults for help. How about you go home and take a look?"

Shen Xingchen didn't dare to delay for a moment and ran home immediately.

It’s a pity that the three little ones did not come back.

The three little ones were not there, but Lin’s father, Lin’s mother, and Lin Ye were there.

Because Mai Xiangbei was having dinner at Mai Laosan's place.

The three members of the Lin family came to look for Mai Xiangbei.

As for Lin Shuhua, she was not seen. She was probably ashamed of herself and didn't dare to show up.

Shen Xingchen was very worried about the children and didn't care that there were outsiders around. He just told them about Niu Niu's injury.

"Wife, Zhenyin and the others haven't come back yet. Could something have happened to them? Let's organize some people to go out and look for them!"

Before Mai Sui could say anything, Mai Lao San, who was worried about his grandson (daughter), immediately jumped up and said:

"What are you waiting for! Go out and look for him! Lao Si, go get some help!"

Mai Xiangbei walked out while replying, "Okay! You guys go first, I'll call someone and they'll be there soon!"

Immediately afterwards, Mai Sui, Shen Xingchen, Mai Laosan, Mai Hongcai, Ye Zhenzhen and others all went out to look for someone.

Only Lin Ranran stayed to take care of her son Goudan who had a cold.

And keep an eye on the Lin family to prevent them from stealing things, after all, the family has prepared a lot of New Year's goods.

The old people in the village often say that a humble name is easy to maintain.

Mai Xiangbei and Lin Ranran are both educated people and don't believe this.

But their son was weak since childhood, so he was finally given the nickname "Goudan".

Even if it's just psychological comfort, it's good.

The amazing thing is that since being called "Goudan", Goudan's health has indeed improved a lot.

Although I still catch colds and fevers frequently, my physical fitness is much better than before.

If Goudan hadn’t caught a cold today, he would probably have gone out to play with Zhenyin, Niu Niu and the others.

..............

Lin's father, Lin's mother and Lin Ye watched Mai Xiangbei and the others leave, completely ignoring their existence, and were quite dissatisfied.

So, he said to Lin Ranran: "What do you mean? Are you doing this on purpose?

Are you using the excuse of looking for your child to avoid paying? I tell you, no way! "

Seeing that Lin Ranran was young, Lin Ye wanted to scare her:

"If you know what's best for you, give me the money now, or I'll make sure you don't have a happy New Year!"

If she was alone in the past, Lin Ranran would probably be afraid, but things are different now, she is now a member of Old Mai’s family!

So, he just retorted back, even more ferocious than Lin Ye.

"What do you want to do! Don't say I didn't remind you, this is Lianhua Village, my husband's surname is Mai, and our Mai Sui is now the chief of the army!

Do you know what a military chief is? If I tell you, I'm afraid you will be scared to death! She is in charge of tens of thousands of soldiers!

If you dare to touch a hair on my head, I will send you to the Northwest Farm for a few years of reform! "

Lin Ye and others didn’t understand what the military chief specifically represented, but the person who was called “chief” must have a very high position!

Before, Mai Sui was just a company commander, and he was able to "send" several of them to the Northwest Farm for three years of reform.

Now that he has become the head of the army, it would only take a few minutes for him to crush them to death.

Lin Ye and the other two suddenly became a little scared.

Then, the tone softened again.

“Comrade, even if Mai Sui becomes the head of the army, you still have to be reasonable.

Mai Xiangbei now has a son, but he can't forget his daughter.

Our Lin family has helped raise his daughter for such a long time, so we should at least give him some food expenses, right?

We don’t ask for much, five hundred is enough!

This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for you. You shouldn't be so stingy.

If Malin knew that you guys weren't even willing to give her 500, she would probably misunderstand that it was you, her stepmother, who instigated this.

As the saying goes, if you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. You are so young, you probably don't want to bear this bad reputation, right?"

Lin Ranran was young after all, and for a moment she didn’t know how to respond.

The most important thing is, just now Mr. and Mrs. Lin kept talking about how miserable Mai Lin was, and they were afraid that Mai Xiangbei would be soft-hearted, after all, they were father and daughter.

Lin Ranran has never been a stepmother, and has never seen any other "stepmothers" in her life.

I really don’t know what she, as a stepmother, should do to have the best of both worlds in this situation.

Just as she was struggling, Wang Meng suddenly rushed in with a group of people.

Then, he pointed at Lin Ye and the other two and roared:

"Quick! Tie up the three of them and send them to the police!"

"No! What are you doing? Let me go!"

Lin Ye struggled violently.

Wang Meng stepped forward and slapped him hard without any hesitation:

"At this point, I would like to give you a piece of advice: if you confess, you will be treated leniently; if you resist, you will be treated severely!

If you are smart, quickly tell us where the children are, or you will be shot!"
