Chapter 139 Missing (Part 2)
Shopkeeper He was tied up on the cold ground and lay naked all night. The next day he caught wind and cold, and he hadn’t gone to Jin Kee for several days.
Su Ergou showed off his biceps: "Sister, we must be too powerful and scare him!"
Su Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment: "Well... that's right."
When the siblings arrived home, they did not see Su Yuniang.
Asked Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Wu shook her head: "I went to the river to wash salted eggs, and she won't be in the house when I come back. By the way, it seems that she said that she was going to the county government office. Did she go to the town?"
Su Xiaoxiao knew about going to the county government to get her seal stamped. She left the stall early in the morning and Su Yuniang was still awake. She originally planned to ask Liu Ping to take Su Yuniang to the town in a donkey cart in the afternoon.
But it does not rule out that Su Yuniang couldn't wait and went to the county government by herself.
As for why Su Xiaoxiao didn't meet her, it's not difficult to understand.
The town is so big, the county government and Jinji are in two different directions, and they happened to miss the time when they were on the road.
It's just that, until the evening, Su Yuniang did not come back.
"Does it take so long to go to the county government?" Su Xiaoxiao muttered, and asked Su Ergou to go to the Village Officer's house to ask Old Li to see when Su Yuniang left the village.
Village Officer and Old Li both stated that they did not see Su Yuniang leaving the village.
This is strange.
Before leaving the village, where could Su Yuniang have gone?
Could it be that the Village Officer's family and Old Li's family just didn't see Su Yuniang going out?
Su Xiaoxiao called Liu Ping: "Brother Liu, please go to the county government to see if Yu Niang is here."
"I'll go!"
Liu Ping got into the donkey cart, and the donkey drove away without stopping.
This donkey is different from other donkeys. It eats a lot, has great strength, and runs faster.
About half an hour later, Liu Ping returned to the village.
"The people in the yamen said that no young lady came today."
Xiao Wu did not leave, she was also waiting for news from Su Yuniang at Xiao Su's house.
She asked: "Could it be... that you went back to Zheng's house?"
"No." Su Xiaoxiao shook her head, "Su Yuniang has separated from the Zheng family."
"Old Su family?" Su Ergou also expressed his guess.
Su Yuniang mentioned that she left some things at Lao Su's house, luggage... and some of her private money.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know the exact amount, and the little rich woman Su Yuniang didn't say, but it shouldn't be a small sum.
Su Yuniang hid it so well that even Mrs. Fang didn't tell.
So if Su Yuniang wanted to get back her things, she really had to go there herself.
Old Su's family should have some luggage left... Su Xiaoxiao was thinking about it, and was about to visit the door for herself, but unexpectedly, someone from the old Su's family came to the door.
It was Su Can and Su Erlang who came.
The father and son were aggressive, as if they were going to demolish the house.
Su Can stood at the door and shouted loudly: "Su Fatty! Where did you hide Yu Niang! You let her come out to see me! I have something to say to her!"
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at the three of them strangely: "Yu Niang is not here."
Strange, Su Yuniang isn't at Lao Su's house either?
"Where did Yu Niang go?" Su Can asked.
"I don't know." Su Xiaoxiao answered truthfully.
Su Can's face darkened: "Su Fatty! Su Yuniang has been living at your house these days, you don't know where she is?"
"I just don't know." Su Xiaoxiao said lightly.
Su Can said coldly: "Did you hide her on purpose? Don't let us see her?"
Su Ergou came out: "What are you hiding? We haven't seen Sister Yu Niang since we came back from the town. We still want to ask you, is Sister Yu Niang going to your place?"
"Nonsense! Yu Niang is not in our old Su's house at all!" Su Can said to his son, "Erlang, go ask the Village Officer and Li Xiaoyong if Yu Niang has left the village?"
Su Erlang went.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't stop her, so why should she kindly help the old Su's family run errands?
Su Erlang came back sweating profusely, panting: "Father, the second sister didn't leave the village."
Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly.
Su Can glared at Su Xiaoxiao domineeringly: "Su Fatty! Where did you hide Yu Niang?"
Liu Ping also came out and said: "You guys misunderstood, Da Ya really didn't hide Yu Niang, Da Ya is also looking for Yu Niang."
Su Can suddenly raised the volume: "So, you lost Yu Niang?"
Liu Ping hastily explained: "No...we don't have..."
Su Can's voice was too loud, which alarmed the nearby villagers. First, the He family and the Da Wu family from the next door, followed by the Sun family's daughter-in-law and the Wu family's aunt.
Not long after, Zhou, the most powerful gossip girl in the village, also came over.
She and Aunt Liu arrived one after the other. After all, one lived on the left side of Old Su’s house and the other lived on the right side of Old Su’s house.
"What happened?" Zhou asked.
Su Erlang complained: "Aunt Zhou, the little Su family lost my second sister."
Su Ergou was unhappy, and said with his arms crossed: "Hey, hey, hey! What are you talking about? Who lost Sister Yu Niang?"
Su Erlang said: "Then tell me, where did my second sister go?"
"I..." Su Ergou choked.
"Look, you can't tell!" Su Erlang's tongue is sharper and more shrewd than his elder brother.
He glanced at the villagers around, and said aggrievedly, "The big guys judged, my sister was recuperating in them, and she raised her and killed her. They even beat us up and asked where we went!"
Su Ergou said: "No! Who the hell beat him up! I was—"
Little Su bully is good at fighting, but not so good at talking.
Papa Su and his son-in-law went to the field to pick vegetables and hadn’t come back yet, Su Xiaoxiao and the others were the only ones at home.
"Don't say that our old Su family bullies people." Su Can said coldly, "If you let Yu Niang come out, we will act as if nothing happened!"
"Just be it?" Su Xiaoxiao said lightly, "What did our little Su family do? What happened when we needed your old Su's family? Who do you give to?"
Su Ergou immediately straightened his waist: "That's right! What's so great about your old Su family! Do you think we are beggars?"
Su Can scolded: "But Yu Niang disappeared from your home!"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Can for a moment: "I haven't seen anyone for half a day. How can you conclude that she is missing?"
Su Can choked.
Su Erlang said: "But Yu Niang disappeared at your house!"
"Wow——"
There was a baby crying in the house, it was because Yu Niang's child was hungry.
In the afternoon, was so hungry that cried, Xiao Wu took him to Li's house and asked Xiao Zhao to help feed him twice.
Su Can hurriedly said: "The child is crying like this, he must be hungry, hurry up and let Yu Niang come out!"
Su Ergou said: "It is said that Sister Yu Niang is not at my house!"
"By the way, where did Yu Niang go? Where did the mother leave the child alone?"
"Could it be some accident?"
"Yeah, it's getting late, so I should go back wherever I went."
"Did you go back to your in-law's house?"
"You go back to your in-law's house without a nursing baby?"
Folks, the speculation about Su Yuniang's whereabouts gradually became weird.
Don't blame them for thinking too much, it's really strange.
Who would leave a one-month-old milk doll behind?
