Chapter 30: Uncovered
Zhu Biyun disappeared so suddenly, it was not clear what was going on, and they naturally couldn't blindly look for it, otherwise it would be extremely bad to spread a nonsense that the Zhu family and daughter had been abducted.
Zhu Guida and the Jiang family have some scheming in their hearts, one is that the Deng family did not return the Geng post, the second is that there is the Zhao family that Zhu Yanmei said, and the third is ...... It was they who privately discussed the matter of letting Hongzhu marry on their behalf. It is estimated that Zhu Biyun heard something, and he was depressed and unhappy. Therefore, Zhu Guida didn't say a word, just walked all the way to the Deng family with his head bored, and Jiang asked Zhu Zilan to use lunch as an excuse to ask the neighbors near Nancheng.
I didn't think that I had asked everywhere, but they all said that they hadn't seen anyone. Later, I don't know why, the two mothers and daughters stood on the corner of the street and spoke in a suppressed voice, and Jiang's face became darker and darker, and he almost wanted to beat someone.
Li and Hongzhu also asked a few families, and when they saw the actions of their mother and daughter, they couldn't help but stop. Li hesitated to go up to persuade her, but Hongzhu grabbed her, only saying that she was also taught a lesson when she stepped forward, so why bother. With that, they turned around and went in another direction.
After walking all the way, in the end, Hongzhu was alert, and found two children playing at the mouth of the alley to inquire, only to know that earlier Zhu Biyun walked by alone with red eyes and low head, and it happened that the Gu aunt who was also setting up a breakfast stall saw it. This Aunt Gu's home is not far from the Zhu family, but her daughter is now fourteen or fifteen years old, and although Aunt Gu can make a small living by setting up a stall, but the girl is a clever person, so she was detained by Aunt Gu to embroider at home.
"Auntie, didn't Sister Biyun come to your house?" asked Hongzhu.
I also thought she was here to find the big girl, and asked her, but she didn't answer, and passed with her head down. Gu Da Niang said.
"Is she the only one, and no one else is with her?" asked Hongzhu.
"Yes, she's the only one. When Aunt Gu saw Hongzhu and Li asking like this, she also felt that this matter was strange, so she added another sentence, "It's not that I'm talking nonsense, it's a little inappropriate to look at Biyun's girl." ”
"What could be wrong?" Hongzhu smiled calmly, but as if there was no such thing, she casually asked the direction in which Zhu Biyun was going.
Aunt Gu didn't care, she only said that she was going to the east.
Hearing Aunt Gu say this, Hongzhu secretly knew that things were really bad, and after separating from Aunt Gu, she said to the Li family: "Mother, I think Biyun is going to Deng's house." ”
Li frowned and said: "Confused, she is a big girl, why did she still go to other people's homes when she was a divorce." ”
Hongzhu didn't understand either, and after thinking about it, she could only say: "If she goes straight over, we have been delayed for a long time, and I'm afraid we won't be able to catch up." It's better to go to the door and ask, if she really goes, just wait for the news from the uncle. ”
Li had no other way, so he agreed.
After walking two more streets to the place, I asked an acquaintance who was setting up a stall at the entrance of the alley, saying that I saw someone similar to Zhu Biyun passing by. Hongzhu sighed secretly.
It was not early at this time, Hongzhu only felt that her stomach was really hungry, and seeing that Li's face was pale, she was worried that Li's body couldn't stand it, so she had to pull Li and go back. Li was still a little hesitant, and Hongzhu persuaded her indiscriminately: "Mother, this is the time to eat, maybe Sister Biyun will go back early." Li felt that this was the truth, so they went back together.
They went back to Zhu's house, but saw that Jiang and Zhu Zilan had returned, and the two of them looked very bad. Jiang Shi first asked them if they could find anyone, and when they learned that they hadn't, they didn't have a good word with a cold face, and complained: "It's only been how long I've been out, I'm afraid I haven't finished the two alleys, right?
Li Shi snorted for a while, and then said: "Sister-in-law, we asked people all the way, and they all said that they seemed to see Biyun passing by, and looking in that direction, they were really going to the east of the city, and they could catch up with the eldest brother who walked all the way." ”
Jiang's eyes lit up, and then he stopped talking badly, and he slumped in his position tiredly and stopped talking.
Seeing her like this, Hongzhu frowned, and then held back her anger and didn't quarrel with her. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Li took Hongzhu to the kitchen for lunch. Cheng Wenhan quietly came in, looked up and asked curiously, "Sister, did Sister Biyun really go to Deng's house?"
Hongzhu bit the steamed bun, glanced at him and was about to speak, Zhu Zilan also came in with a cold face with her hands at the door, Hongzhu saw her like this, and suddenly felt that if there was really a mother, there must be a daughter, in the past, Zhu Zilan was not like Jiang, but at this time, the expressions of these two people were really printed in a mold.
"Who did you ask, who saw my sister go to Deng's house?" asked Zhu Zilan, the corners of her mouth straightened.
Li Shi saw that she came in without a name, and there were no rules, so he was a little displeased and didn't want to answer this.
Hongzhu said: "Don't make up people randomly, who said that your sister went to Deng's house? ”
Zhu Zilan originally came to drink and ask, but she was so stained by the red beads that she was a little choked, and she couldn't say anything for a while.
Hongzhu was already suspicious of what she had said to Zhu Biyun, so she deliberately said: "Isn't Yangchun Lake also in the east of the city?" ”
Zhu Zilan is not stupid, although Hongzhu's words are a little inexplicable, she still understands. There is a Yangchun Lake in the east of this Tong'an City, because of the geographical water quality, there is little freezing in winter, and the scenery is good. It can be said that Zhu Biyun went to Yangchun Lake silently, but he still went to the lake?
Zhu Zilan was already weak-hearted, and her face immediately changed greatly, and she said loudly: "Cheng Hongzhu, you crazy person, you dare to curse my sister!"
Li Shi couldn't listen anymore, and said straightly: "Zilan, what are these words? That's how you are arguing at the elders?"
Hongzhu walked up to Zhu Zilan and said coldly: "Didn't you say that Sister Biyun was going to do something stupid, it can be seen that you quarreled with her." If anything happens to her, you will hurt her. ”
"I didn't quarrel with her!" Zhu Zilan couldn't stand the excitement, and immediately pushed her, and said hatefully: "It's you, it's all you!" She was not happy to hear what her grandmother and they discussed, so she went to Deng Jinyu, all to pity you, you broom star!"
Although Hongzhu was older than her, she was thin, and she pushed two or three steps before she stopped, which was annoying, but when she heard Zhu Zilan's words, she was surprised and confused, and couldn't help asking: "What do you mean by pity me?" Hongzhu glared at Zhu Zilan suspiciously, "Sister Biyun wants to withdraw from me, but it has nothing to do with me." ”
"How can it have nothing to do with you?" Zhu Zilan thought that Hongzhu was afraid, and suddenly smiled proudly, "Grandma said, if the Deng family refuses to withdraw from the family, let you go to Chongxi! ”
"What did you say?" Li Shi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward, almost knocked down by a low stool, "How is this possible?"
Zhu Zilan smiled more and more happily, and looked at the Li family again: "Third aunt, you should also be happy, if you change your weekdays, Hongzhu will never have such a good family affair to come to the door, and this marriage will be a happy young grandmother." ”
“…… No, no, you're talking nonsense!" Li Shi was incredulous, his face turned pale, and he was so anxious that he was at a loss.
Hongzhu came back from her surprise at this time, and realized in her heart that this was the case! She figured it out, went over and hugged Li, grabbed her forearm and pressed it, and comforted her: "Mother, it's okay, don't panic, take your time." ”
Saying that, she looked at Zhu Zilan again, such a beautiful little girl was full of smiles, Hongzhu saw it, she didn't feel cute but felt vicious, her face became ugly, and she said coldly: "Zhu Zilan, it's just that you are messing around on weekdays, I only care about you when you are young and ignorant, and some sisters don't care about you." Sister Biyun's family affairs, my family affairs, you dare to make fun of them? You really have the guts!"
"I'm not kidding, you just ask grandma. The elders have complied, and this is done. Zhu Zilan glanced at her.
Cheng Wenhan said loudly: "My sister doesn't marry!"
Li couldn't help but tremble, only to feel a depression and resentment in her chest, others did not abuse her, she had a thin life, and lost her husband early, but what was wrong with her daughter? If it weren't for the support of red beads in the past two or three years, what would their Cheng family become. This Zhu family is her own grandmother, her aunt and uncle, how can she ...... How can she secretly plot against her daughter!
Li Shi blushed angrily, and shouted with all his strength: "Hongzhu will not marry! She is my daughter, if you really want to calculate her, you will kill me!"
Everyone in the room was stunned by this.
Zhu Zilan couldn't help but take two steps back suddenly.
Hongzhu felt sorry for her mother, for fear that she would be angry, so she hurriedly said softly: "Mother, don't be angry, this is all nonsense." Cheng Wenhan also came over to help the Li family. Hongzhu glanced at Zhu Zilan, and said very calmly: "You don't need to ask her about this matter at all, your surname is Zhu, my surname is Cheng, and I can't call the shots with them." ”
"Hmph. Zhu Zilan was a little timid in her heart, but she still looked at them with disdain.
Hongzhu stared at her, and her tone was a little harsh, and she said straightly: "Zhu Zilan, I wonder if you have a straw in your head." This is forced to marry, I have a fierce temperament! I will make trouble for you even if I try my best. She sneered, "If I am willing, will the Deng family be willing? If you change someone so suddenly, who will have a good reputation when it is spread? Even if the Deng family can't take care of it, they want to be happy alone, and it will never be me! You don't have long eyes, look at the clothes I am wearing, the Deng family is not afraid that his son will lose his anger?
