After Sanya stuffed the candy into her mouth, she saw Baoya looking at her with eager eyes. Then, she opened her mouth and asked for candy.
Sanya quickly said before she could say anything, “You’ve already eaten today. If you eat any more, there will be worms in your mouth and you’ll roll around in pain. In this case, not only would you not be able to eat sweets, you would not be able to eat meat, and you would not even be able to eat rice, Then, you would starve to death.’
Baoya widened her eyes and quickly covered her mouth.
With her two younger sisters comforting her and her grandmother and the others around, Xiaozhen, who had candy in her mouth, was finally no longer as anxious as she was in Daxu Village. She hugged her younger brother and cried alone and helplessly.
Not long after, Madam Ruan returned.
She walked in a hurry. On the way here, she had already heard from Dahu what had happened.
Although Dahu was young, he had been learning all this time and his ability to express himself had improved quite a bit. Madam Ruan understood.
As soon as Madam Ruan entered the house, she held Quanquan in her arms and said, “Mother Yu, go and see Fourth Sister. I’m at home. I’ll take care of the child.’
“Yes.” the old lady nodded and gave two instructions before taking Xiaozhen and preparing to leave with Shu Yu.
Madam Ruan thought about it and asked, “Should we tell Erbai about this first? He wants to see Fourth Sister.’
Ever since he found out that his Fourth Brother-in-law had gone missing, Lu Erbai had been worried. His legs were inconvenient, so he couldn’t go into the mountains and villages to look for him like his eldest brother and third brother.
However, he had some experience in searching for Erya over the years. Even though he could not find her, he knew a little about the small roads in the county. He had asked people to ask about it before, but unfortunately, there was no news.
If he knew that Fourth Sister had been taken away by the office, he would probably be even more anxious.
However, the old lady rejected her. “Forget it. Telling him will only cause more people to worry. We don’t know the specific situation at the office yet, and we don’t know if we can see Si Xing. We’ll talk about it when we get back.”
Madam Ruan did not say anything.
The old lady was anxious. Now that Quanquan had someone to take care of her, she was relieved. Soon, the group left Liufang Alley and went straight to the county government.
When they were about to reach the entrance of the county government,
Xiaozhen could not help but hold Shu Yu’s hand tightly, afraid and fl.u.s.tered.
Shu Yu lowered her head. “It’s okay. Don’t worry.”
“Hey, isn’t that the village chief of Daxu Village?” Lu Dasong suddenly whispered.
A few of them looked up and saw three people standing at the entrance of the county government. They were all looking up at the entrance of the county office, but their faces were full of worry.
Shu Yu remembered that when she was in Daxu Village, a villager said that the village chief of Daxu Village had also brought people to the county office.
She didn’t expect to meet him at the door.
A few of them walked closer. Village Chief Chen of Daxu Village also saw them.
At first, he didn’t recognize her, but when he saw Xiaozhen, he suddenly remembered that she was from the Lu family.
Village Chief Chen immediately took a few steps forward and stood in front of
Lu Dasong. “You’ve heard about Yuan Laosi’s family, right?” He sighed. He sighed. “We wanted to ask about the situation, but unfortunately, we couldn’t enter the office. Dashi of our village has a friendship with a small constable in the past, but that small constable is not in the county office today. Dashi went to his house to look for him. He might have to come back later, so he had to wait a little longer.”
However, the young constable had once worked for the former county magistrate. Although he did not suffer with the former county magistrate, there were some things that he could not know too much about. He could only try his luck..
