Chapter 162 – 162 Missing

162 Missing

Manager He was tied to the cold ground and lay naked for the entire night. The next day, he caught a cold and had not been to Jin Ji for several days.

Su Ergou showed off his biceps. “Sis, we must have scared him!”

Su Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment. “Hmm… that’s true.”

When the siblings reached home, they did not see Su Yuniang.

After asking Madam Wu, she shook her head. “I went to the river to wash the salted eggs. When I came back, she wasn’t in the house anymore. Oh right, I heard her say that she was going to the county office. Did she go to town?”

Su Xiaoxiao knew about the matter of getting the letter stamped at the county office. She had set up the stall early in the morning and Su Yuniang was still sleeping. Her original plan was to get Liu Ping to send Su Yuniang to town in the afternoon on a donkey cart.

However, he could not rule out the possibility that Su Yuniang could not wait and went to the county office herself.

As for why Su Xiaoxiao didn’t meet her, it wasn’t hard to understand.

The town was so big, and the county office and Jinji were in two different directions. Coincidentally, they had missed each other on the way.

However, Su Yuniang did not return even in the evening.

“Does it take that long to go to the county office?” Su Xiaoxiao muttered and asked Su Ergou to ask Old Li to see when Su Yuniang left the village.

The village head and Old Li both said that they did not see Su Yuniang leave the village.

This was strange.

If she did not leave the village, where could Su Yuniang have gone?

Could it be that the village head’s family and Old Li’s family happened to not see Su Yuniang go out?

Su Xiaoxiao called Liu Ping over. “Brother Liu, please go to the county office and see if Yu Niang is here.”

“I’ll be right there!”

Liu Ping sat on the donkey cart and the donkey galloped away. This donkey was different from other donkeys. It ate a lot, was strong, and ran fast.

About an hour later, Liu Ping returned to the village.

“The people from the government office said that no young woman came today.”

Madam Wu did not leave. She was also waiting for news of Su Yuniang at the Su family’s house.

She asked, “Could she have… returned to the Zheng family?”

“No.” Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “Su Yuniang has cut ties with the Zheng family.”

“Old Su?” Su Ergou also expressed his guess.

Su Yuniang had mentioned that she had left some things at the Su family’s house. Her luggage… and some of her private money.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know the exact amount. Su Yuniang didn’t say anything, but it shouldn’t be a small sum.

Su Yuniang hid it very well. She did not even tell Madam Fang.

Therefore, if Su Yuniang wanted to take back her things, she had to go personally.

The Su family should have some luggage left… Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and was about to visit them personally when the Su family came.

It was Su Can and Su Erlang.

The father and son were aggressive as if they were here to tear down the house.

Su Can stood at the door and shouted, “Fatty Su! Where did you hide Yu Niang? Ask her to come out and see me! I have something to say to her!”

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the three of them strangely. “Yu Niang isn’t here.”

She found it strange that Su Yuniang wasn’t in the Su family either.

“Where did Yu Niang go?” Su Can asked.

“I don’t know,” Su Xiaoxiao answered honestly.

Su Can’s expression darkened. “Fatty Su! Su Yuniang has been staying at your house for the past few days. Don’t you know where she is?”

“I just don’t know.” Su Xiaoxiao said calmly.

Su Can said coldly, “Did you deliberately hide her and not let us see her?”

Su Ergou walked out. “Why would we hide? We haven’t seen Sister Yuniang since we came back from town. We wanted to ask you if Sister Yuniang went to your place.”

“Nonsense! Yu Niang isn’t in our Su family at all!” Su Can said to his son, “Erlang, go and ask the village head and Li Xiaoyong if Yu Niang left the village.”

Su Erlang went.

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t stop him. Why should she be kind enough to help the Su family?

Su Erlang returned with sweat all over his forehead. He panted and said, “Father, Second Sister didn’t leave the village.”

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes.

Su Can glared at Su Xiaoxiao. “Fatty Su! Where did you hide Yu Niang?”

Liu Ping also walked out and said, “You’ve misunderstood. Daya really didn’t hide Yu Niang. Daya is also looking for Yu Niang.”

Su Can suddenly raised his voice. “In that case, you’ve lost Yu Niang?”

Liu Ping hurriedly explained, “No… We didn’t…”

Su Can’s voice was too loud, startling the villagers nearby. First, it was Madam He and Madam Wu from the neighboring house, followed by the Sun family’s wife and Aunt Wu.

Not long after, the most powerful gossiper in the village, Madam Zhou, also came over.

She and Auntie Liu arrived one after another. After all, one lived on the left of the Su family while the other lived on the right.

“What happened?” Madam Zhou asked.

Su Erlang complained, “Auntie Zhou, the Su family lost my second sister.”

Su Ergou was unhappy. He put his hands on his hips and said, “Hey, hey, hey! How can you say that? Who made Sister Yu Niang disappear?”

Su Erlang said, “Then where do you think my second sister went?”

“I…” Su Ergou choked.

“Look, you can’t say it, right?” Su Erlang was smarter than his eldest brother.

He looked at the villagers around him and said aggrievedly, “Everyone, be the judge. My sister was recuperating with them. After she went missing, they even blamed us and asked where we were!”

Su Ergou said, “No! Who f*cking played the blame game? I was…”

Little Bully Su was good at fighting, but he was not as good at talking.

Father Su and his son-in-law were still picking vegetables in the fields. Only Su Xiaoxiao and the others were at home.

“Don’t say that our Su Clan is bullying others.” Su Can said coldly, “Let Yu Niang out, and we’ll pretend nothing happened!”

“Pretend?” Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “What did our Su family do? Do we need your Su family to pretend that nothing happened? Who are you giving charity to?”

Su Ergou immediately straightened his back. “That’s right! What’s so great about your Su family? Do you think we’re beggars?”

Su Can scolded, “But Yu Niang went missing from your family!”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Can without blinking. “It’s only been half a day. How can you be so sure that she’s missing?”

Su Can choked.

Su Erlang said, “But Yu Niang disappeared from your house!”

“Wah!”

A baby’s cry came from inside the house. Yuniang’s child was so hungry that she cried. Madam Wu wanted to carry her to the Li family and ask Madam Zhao to help feed her.

Su Can hurriedly said, “The child is crying like this. He must be hungry. Quickly get Yuniang to come out!”

Su Ergou said, “I already said that Sister Yuniang is not at my house!”

“Speaking of which, where did Yuniang go? How can a mother abandon her child?”

“Did something happen?”

“That’s right. It’s already so late. It’s time to go back.”

“Did she go back to your in-laws’ house?”

“Would she go home without her baby?”

The villagers spoke one after another, and their guesses about Su Yuniang’s whereabouts gradually became strange.

They could not be blamed for thinking too much. It was really strange.

Who would leave a one-month-old baby behind?
