Yang's mother cried so hard that she couldn't open her eyes. Seeing this, her neighbor's sister-in-law who was accompanying her wrung out a towel for her and said, "Don't cry. We have to cook for the children when they come back." She must be hungry after not eating for so long.
"Sister-in-law, they will definitely come back, right?"
"Of course. There isn't even a thief in our village, let alone a beggar. They must have fallen asleep somewhere. With so many people, we're sure we can find them."
Yang felt relieved. Yes, the two children must have been playing somewhere and forgot the time. There was no way they could be safe.
"Don't beat or scold them when you come back, okay?"
Yang nodded. She would not dare to curse even if she had ten times the courage. "I know, as long as they can come back, come back safely, I won't ask for anything else."
It is said that children are a debt. Even a strong person like Yang was tortured to the point of losing her temper. Alas.
"Mom, Dad asked you to go home." When he came home after going out to look for someone, he found out that his wife had been with Yang. He immediately got furious. Why did this heartless family have to be with them? No matter how much we help them, no one thinks they are stupid at all.
"Is your father back? Has he been found?"
"Well, he will be back soon, Mom. Dad told you to go home quickly." Dad not only told Mom to go home, but also told them not to play with the Xiao family's children in the future.
"Oh, tuttt! Sister of the Yang family, maybe the head of the family will come to me again, so I'll leave first."
"Tuo, thank you so much for coming today. I won't see you off. They may be back soon. I have to boil water and cook."
"You keep busy."
The woman was not at all pleased. The lost child had been found, and anyone would not have been in the mood to chat or be polite.
Yang originally wanted to go out to greet the guests, but she didn't know where they were coming from, the head or the end of the village, so she planned to cook at home first, as they must have not eaten yet.
When Xiao Qiang was walking, he found that his foot was sprained and swollen. Xiao Yi was definitely unable to carry him home, so he could only let him walk slowly on his own. Xiao Yong injured his arm, and he slowly walked down the mountain with his hand hanging.
"Why don't you come down the mountain after dark? What's wrong with you on the mountain that keeps you from going home? Are you so angry? Have you never been beaten before?"
"Dad, we came to the mountain to catch chickens, but we didn't catch any chickens and we got lost. We can't get back home." Xiao Qiang explained while jumping up and down.
"You guys..." Xiao Yu was speechless. Beating or scolding was not okay. So they were just here to torment him, right?
"Dad, the mountain is too scary. There are insects chirping everywhere at night. We are afraid of wild animals and snakes. It's pitch black and it's scary."
"You're still afraid? I thought you weren't afraid of anything."
"Dad, we will never come to the mountains again."
"Don't go up there, there are wild animals there, and don't even think about catching chickens, you're not cut out for it."
"We thought that Xiao Lei was catching chickens and rabbits every day, so how could we be worse than him?" When talking about Xiao Lei, the two brothers were still very unconvinced.
"Why are you competing with him? He is used to beating wild animals. You haven't even killed a chicken at home, and you want to go up the mountain to catch chickens?"
"It's true that we can't catch any chickens. We've been walking on the mountain for so long, but we didn't even see a chicken feather." Xiao Qiang was depressed. He felt that when it came to catching chickens, they were inferior to Xiao Lei.
"Go back quickly, your mother can't find you and she's crying like crazy."
"Dad, did you make me so fast because of your crying? It's all because of those people. They refused to help lift me even for a moment. They all ran faster than rabbits."
"You know it in your heart. No one has their own family. The favors from outside are all false."
Xiao Qiang remained silent, and his father found an opportunity to tease his eldest son.
On the other side, the village woman returned home and saw the child was anxious. She thought something had happened and asked, "What happened to the head of the family?"
"You think you've been to the Xiao family less often?"
"Isn't it her child who is missing? I just can't bear to see her crying so hard."
"You can't get involved with their family, I tell you..."
"They really do?"
"There's still time for holiday. Let's just leave and ignore them. Just wait and see whether they will thank each family one by one. In the end, the village chief will have to clean up the mess."
"Okay, I'll stay away from Yang from now on."
"You're right, I've told the child not to play with them."
After this incident, the Xiao brothers became the target of public criticism. From then on, they had no playmates or brothers except playing by themselves.
Yang was cooking dinner but no one showed up yet and she was getting a little impatient. Why haven’t they returned home for so long? Has something happened again?
I wanted to ask the neighbors, but the lights were off in their house. It can be said that all the lights in the village have been turned off at this moment.
She had no choice but to go out and try her luck.
"Are you the ones in charge?"
"mother!"
