Seeing Yao Yulin's panicked state, especially her red eyes, Aunt Xu was startled and quickly supported the swaying Yao Yulin. "Tell me, Yulin, what's our relationship? Just tell me what you need! I'll help if I can."
After saying that, she looked at Zhihua, whose eyes were red and tears were about to fall, and who looked both strong and pitiful. She immediately had a bad feeling.
"By the way, where's Yinyin? Hasn't she come back yet?"
After she finished speaking, her heart skipped a beat, especially when she saw Yao Yulin and the other girl burst into tears upon hearing this, she became even more worried.
"Waaah... Weiwei, my daughter went up the mountain during the day and hasn't come back yet. I'm afraid something has happened to her. Please, you and your husband, help me look for her."
Yao Yulin cried her eyes out, looking incredibly pitiful, her eyes filled with despair.
"What?"
Upon hearing this, Aunt Xu's face turned pale instantly, and she was visibly panicked.
“Oh dear, what are we waiting for? Hurry, hurry, this is a matter of life and death. Go find the village chief and ask him to help organize people to go up the mountain to search for the person. I’ll go get my husband now. He knows the mountains well and will go look for him first.”
After saying that, Aunt Xu hurriedly prepared to run away, she was extremely anxious.
At the same time, she felt a little guilty. It was all her fault. She saw Yinyin during the day, so why didn't she ask her to come back earlier?
"Okay, okay..."
Yao Yulin knew the situation was critical, so she immediately prepared to run.
"Tsk... Don't waste your time. It's so late at night, do you want them to go looking for trouble?"
"It's not worth it for such a money-losing thing!"
"Mother, are you even human? Not only will you not help us find our granddaughter, but you're also making sarcastic remarks here?"
Yao Yulin couldn't hold back any longer and glared back fiercely with bloodshot eyes, her eyes full of ferocity, showing none of her usual gentleness.
The grandmother was so frightened that she immediately dared not look him in the eye and could only mutter under her breath, "You good-for-nothing, all you do is cause trouble."
After saying that, he got up with his grandfather, cursing and swearing.
"Mom, Dad, where are you going?"
Upon seeing this, the eldest aunt immediately called out.
"What can we do? Go find that brat! What else can we do? Now that the second son's wife has made such a big fuss, if everyone in the village goes there and we relatives don't go out to look for her, won't we be gossiped about by the neighbors?"
Grandmother glared at her eldest aunt with annoyance, and then she got angry.
I just felt my mood getting worse and worse.
The little black dog inside the house also anxiously circled around Yao Yulin and the others.
However, just as Yao Yulin and Aunt Xu had walked a short distance out the door, Zhiyin saw them.
Seeing them panic and running away so fast without regard for their appearance, she immediately stepped forward and stopped them. "Mom, Aunt Xu, what are you doing?"
"Why are you running so fast? Slow down! You might fall."
Yao Yulin gritted her teeth and ran forward with her head bent, so she didn't notice that Zhiyin had stopped in front of her and bumped into her.
The two collided head-on.
Seeing Yao Yulin reflexively fall backward, Zhiyin quickly and worriedly supported her, "Mother?"
Hearing that familiar voice, Yao Yulin finally regained her senses. She looked at her in disbelief and pulled her into her arms.
Tears welled up in her eyes, "Waaah... Yinyin, you scared your mother to death! I thought something had happened to you, and I was just about to send someone to look for you!"
As she spoke, she gently patted her confidante's back, as if she wanted to teach her a lesson, but in the end she couldn't bear to, and just patted her gently.
Upon seeing this, Zhihua immediately threw herself into Zhiyin's arms, sobbing, "Waaah, sister, you scared me and mother to death!"
Aunt Xu, who was standing nearby, finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile with relief. "Don't worry, it's good that the child is alright. I knew it. Zhiyin is a lucky girl, she'll be fine."
As she spoke, she patted Yao Yulin on the shoulder, signaling her to get up so as not to be laughed at by others.
The confidante finally understood, feeling a mix of bitterness and gratitude, as well as a touch of self-reproach.
I blame myself for making them worry; I should have come back sooner.
"Mom, get up, I'm alright, don't be afraid, I'm very strong!"
"It was my fault this time. I didn't tell you in advance and made you worry. This will not happen again."
She made her promise with a firm look in her eyes.
Yao Yulin and Zhihua then got up from her, wiped away their tears, and couldn't help but burst into laughter through their tears.
"You brat, really... do you know how worried I was!"
She couldn't help but lightly slap Zhiyin twice as if to scold her, but it didn't hurt at all.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault!"
Zhiyin just smiled gently at her, which suddenly made Yao Yulin feel embarrassed, and she quickly stood up.
"Tch, that brat really is a case of good people not living long, but bad people live a long life. She managed to come back safe and sound."
Just as the family of three was enjoying a happy time, the grandmother's irritating voice came over.
She looked at Zhiyin and saw that she was not only clean, but also had no signs of injury.
And the basket on her back seemed to be filled with something, which looked quite heavy. I couldn't help but dart around with my eyes, and then I took small, quick steps to get closer, trying to sneak a peek into the basket on Zhiyin's back.
"Oh my, Yinyin, what good thing did you find? We're all about to go out and look for you, shouldn't you show us something?"
"Quickly, show us what it is!"
My aunt, as if she had spotted prey, her eyes gleaming with greed as she approached greedily, her gaze filled with anticipation and curiosity.
Zhiyin dodged directly, while her aunt and grandmother stumbled and nearly fell flat on their faces.
"Heh... looking for me? Are you sure? Tsk..."
Zhiyin curled her lip in disbelief, thinking that even a dog wouldn't believe they would kindly seek her out.
It's good enough that no one cursed her to death behind her back.
He was probably just putting on an act to avoid being called cold-blooded and heartless by the villagers.
Although they had only spent a short time together, Zhiyin could tell at a glance what they were thinking.
His eyes were full of disdain.
She looked at her grandmother and aunt's extremely unpleasant faces and simply ignored them.
Instead, he looked at Aunt Xu and said, "Aunt Xu, let's go to your house..."
"Oh, good, good, your uncle has been waiting for you to come and have dinner."
Aunt Xu visibly cheered up, and her already chubby face became even more kind and approachable.
This is the first time that Yinyin has ever asked to go to her house on her own initiative!
In the past, she had to call them three or four times, but they would never come.
"But... Yinyin, shall we not go to Weiwei's house? So as not to disturb them."
Yao Yulin was still embarrassed, as they had already troubled Aunt Xu's family a lot.
I have no way to repay you!
At this moment, the grandfather glanced at the thing that seemed to be moving in Zhiyin's basket, his eyes flickered, and he quickly spoke up, "That's right, Yinyin, there's food at home. Go home and eat first, then put the things down before you go, so that people won't gossip."
