Chapter 004: Where to Take It
In a flash, Ah Sheng still caught a glimpse of a very familiar blue cloth next to the sack of millet loaded on the ox cart...... It seems that someone often wears such a fabric, by the way! A-Ning's pants are basically this color, but how can A-Ning be in the car, she hates her second uncle very much.
"Brother Ah Sheng, what's wrong?" the stone looked at Ah Sheng who was in a daze strangely.
"It's okay, let's go, I'm sweating, go back and change my clothes. After saying that, he picked up the hoe and pulled the stone back.
"Mom, I'm back!" the stone bounced back.
"Running away like crazy again, covered in mud. ”
Li Xiumei saw that her youngest son's clothes were stained with a lot of mud, her brows wrinkled and fell, this son was too jumpy, he was spoiled by his mother-in-law before, he couldn't stay at home, and he mixed with Ah Sheng all day long. Fortunately, Ah Sheng is a steady and kind child, and she is relieved to be with him.
"Mom, I'm thirsty!"
"Go change your clothes, Mom will pour you water. ”
After the stone drank the water, he didn't see Xu Ning in the back room and the yard, so he asked strangely, "Mom, where is my sister?"
"Your sister is not as uneasy as you, go out to hunt pigweed, and she should come back in a while!"
"Oh...... In the afternoon, I went out to hunt pigweed, and my sister was just sick, so I asked her to stay at home and rest more. ”
"It's around here, and it's okay for her to go out and get some air. ”
After listening to Li Xiumei's words, Shi was relieved, and planned to go to sleep for a while, getting up earlier in the morning, and now he was a little sleepy.
Stone didn't sleep for long, and when he woke up, he heard Ah Sheng talking to her mother outside.
"Auntie, hasn't A-Ning come back yet? It's almost noon!"
Li Xiumei also began to feel that something was wrong when she heard Ah Sheng's words, "Yes! You don't need to go for three hours to hunt pigweed, it's still so hot outside, don't have something wrong!"
Li Xiumei was startled, inexplicable fear surged up from the bottom of her heart, enveloping her, her hands began to tremble and hurriedly put down the basket, she didn't care about washing vegetables and cooking anymore, she wanted to go out to find Xu Ning immediately.
"Auntie, I'll go out with you to find it!" Ah Sheng also began to worry about Xu Ning.
Originally, after he went home, he was always uneasy, and he came to Xu Ning's house in front of him as soon as he finished helping his mother with work.
"Mom, I'll go too!" the stone rushed out when he heard them talking.
"Stone, stay at home and watch the door. Ah Sheng saw that the sun was in full bloom outside, and the little stone was still small after all, so he didn't want him to go.
"Listen to Ah Sheng's words and help my mother guard the door at home. ”
After Li Xiumei finished speaking, she hurriedly went out with Ah Sheng, and Xiaoshi had to wait at home alone, he knew that he couldn't follow them to cause trouble at this time.
The two went out and searched along the path out of the village, and searched all the places where pigweed was hunted nearby, but they still didn't find Xu Ning.
"Auntie, let's go to the river, look for it again, there is a lot of pigweed there, A-Ning may have gone there. Ah Sheng proposed.
"Good!"
Li Xiumei agreed, she hadn't found Xu Ning yet, and she was not at ease and was in a panic.
The two of them walked sweating profusely, and they didn't care about wiping it, they just wanted to find Xu Ning as soon as possible.
Walk quickly to the river, which is already close to the main road out of the village.
"That's ...... A-Ning's backbasket!" Li Xiumei recognized at a glance what she had left in the grass.
"Aning, where is the thing, where did this person go!"
The baskets and straw hats are here, but what about the people?
"Ah Sheng, let's look around here, and ...... Will A-Ning drop...... It's in the water!" Li Xiumei said, and she almost didn't dare to say it later.
"Auntie, probably not, this water is very shallow, so it reaches the waist. ”
Ah Sheng often came here to bathe with the stones, and the river here was not so deep that it was impossible to drown people.
Hearing Ah Sheng say this, Li Xiu Meimei felt more at ease, and then the two looked around the neighborhood, but it is conceivable that they still did not find Xu Ning.
Now Li Xiumei cried urgently, not long after her mother-in-law left, her daughter had an accident again, what should she do, she has always had no backbone, her mother-in-law used to take the idea at home, and her daughter has been with her for half a year, although the mother and son lived poorly, but nothing major happened.
"Auntie, when I went to catch sparrows with the stone before, I saw Ergui driving an ox cart that seemed to be going to hand over grain, but I saw a piece of cloth in his cart, which was very similar to the color of the pants that A-Ning usually wears. ”
"Gui...... Wait, they have always wanted Ah Ning to control the stupid son of the Zhao family, and he won't have any crooked ideas...... I have to ask Chunhua immediately, these two people won't do anything to A-Ning!"
Chunhua went home after separating from Ergui, and she was always nervous, but she thought of it for her own children in the future, and her heart fell again. Think about what the mother-in-law did before, she always went to the sister-in-law, and now the sister-in-law has lost a daughter, and it will be better to bully her in the future, if they can drive their mother and son out of the Xu family, then the old house and the fields are all their family. Especially every time my man looks at his sister-in-law, his eyes are always squinting, which makes her very uncomfortable.
was about to eat, saying that Cao Cao would arrive, only to see Li Xiumei sweating profusely rushing in and grabbing her.
"Chunhua, tell me where Ergui took A-Ning?"
"Sister-in-law, you hurt me, Ergui went to the county to hand over food, where did your family Aning go, what does it have to do with my family!"
Breaking her hand hard, her eyes were a little panicked, she didn't expect to be discovered so soon, no matter what, Chunhua thought in her heart that she couldn't tell them about betraying Aning.
"I saw Ergui driving an ox cart, and there was Ah Ning in the cart, tell me quickly, where did you take Ah Ning!" Ah Sheng was not so easy to fool, and asked loudly.
"No is no, no matter how many times I say it, it's nothing!"
"Chunhua, sister-in-law, beg you, where did A-Ning go?" Li Xiumei cried urgently, so she could only beg her.
"How do I know where to go, why did you come to my house if you lost your daughter, didn't my sister-in-law say that she didn't want to come to my house!"
"Chunhua, what's the time of this, even if you have opinions about me before, you can't be angry with the child, how old is A-Ning!"
"A-Ning is not the daughter of the eldest brother, the Xu family has been benevolent and righteous enough over the years, sister-in-law, don't forget that you are now the wife of the Xu family. Chunhua pouted and said, the more this sister-in-law begged her, the more proud she became, she didn't expect that she also had today, and she still ignored her when she talked to her yesterday.
"You are too much, compared to you who have not given birth to a son and a half daughter to the Xu family all these years, you are even more qualified to say that it is the wife of the Xu family, I ask myself to marry into the Xu family has always been my duty, even if A-Ning is not the daughter of Shi's father, but Shi's father said when he was alive, A-Ning is his daughter, and I have raised my daughter all these years, but I have eaten a meal at your family. Whether you can raise it or not is my business, I don't need you to worry about it, if you don't say where A-Ning was taken by Agui, I will go to the village chief and the elders and villagers of the whole village to judge. ”
Li Xiumei is not so easy to bully this time, no matter how weak the person is at the critical moment, there are reverse scales, usually in the spirit that more things are better than less things and don't care about her, now that her daughter is gone, she can not be angry. Seeing Chunhua's eyes dodging, every time she lied, she knew her more or less over the years, and what was even more excessive was that she always disliked that A-Ning was not the biological daughter of Shi's father, and she didn't need her family, so what qualifications did she have to blame.
"This ......" Chunhua had never seen such an angry Li Xiumei, and she was a little scared.
I want to go to the village chief, the village chief is iron-faced and selfless, usually good to the sister-in-law's family, if you really come at this time, it will definitely make things bigger, the whole village knows that what Agui did is afraid that he can't hide it, and he said ruthlessly: "There is a big boss in the county, who wants to buy a child, A-Ning has been bought at this time, the Xu family has raised A-Ning for many years, and now we have no children, and the people who want to sell the children say that they will cost 500 yuan, so they are willing to give the children to our family, sister-in-law, you can pity me and Ergui have not had a child around us all these years!"
"Hmph, you are pitiful, isn't that aunt pitiful? Ah Sheng scolded beside him, "Auntie, hurry up! Now rush to the county to find Ah Ning and say that it may not be too late!"
As soon as Ah Sheng finished speaking, Li Xiumei was in a hurry to go out, and she had to hurry up to find Ah Ning.
