Chapter 55: The Missing Lan Clan
Ai Qiaoqiao and Zhang Wu returned to Xiaofang Village.
The voice of a woman could be heard in the kitchen.
Ai Qiaoqiao glanced at it from a distance and didn't see Lan inside, so she quietly returned to the ear room.
The Lan family was not in the house, Ai Qiaoqiao closed the door and hid the silver earned today on the beams of the house.
Dinner was ready, and the upper room was lively.
Ma's voice came from time to time, urging her eldest daughter-in-law Qiu to serve food and deliver soup.
Ai Qiaoqiao stood at the door of the upper room and asked Ma's, "Milk, where is my mother?" ”
Ma snorted, "She's out." ”
Ai Qiaoqiao was stunned, "I went out, when did it happen?" ”
Ma Shi was impatient, and said angrily: "Do I still want to help you watch your mother, she has legs and feet, and it is not her freedom to go wherever she wants!" ”
Ai Qiaoqiao saw that Ma was annoyed, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
Ai Qiaohua was still sitting next to Ma's, and she raised her eyes from time to time to peek at Ai Qiaoqiao.
Lan didn't come back, and Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't swallow the rice in her hand, so she quickly noticed Ai Qiaohua's strange appearance.
She raised her head, and her gaze collided with Ai Qiaohua.
As if she had been burned, Ai Qiaohua quickly lowered her head.
Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't help frowning secretly.
Until everyone had dinner, they didn't see Lan come back.
Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't sit still, and said to Old Man Ai: "Master, do you know where my mother went?" ”
Ai Mingshan pursed the corners of his mouth, his face was a little ugly.
"Master?"
Ai Mingshan looked at Ma Shi and said hatefully, "What do I say, the trouble comes from the mouth, you can chew the root of your tongue if you have nothing to do, it's okay now, see what you do!" ”
Ma's face was disdainful, but Ai Qiaohua was full of grievances, "Dad, my sister-in-law and I really didn't mean it, we were talking on the fire in the kitchen, who knew that the Lan family would hear ...... outside"
Ai Qiaoqiao's heart was excited, "What did you say?" ”
Ai Qiaohua looked away with a weak heart, "Also...... Didn't say anything either. ”
Ai Mingshan knocked on the table, "What do you say now, go out and find someone." ”
Ai Tiancheng is the eldest in the family, so he naturally has to rush to the front if something happens.
He looked for the lantern and was about to go out.
Ai Qiaoqiao hurriedly followed.
Ai Tiancheng was a little hesitant when he saw her coming, "Qiaoqiao should wait at home, it's too dark outside, and you are not familiar with the people in the village." ”
Ai Mingshan shouted in the house: "Come back Qiaoqiao, don't make trouble with it." ”
Ai Qiaoqiao could only watch Ai Tiancheng walk out.
As a result, Ai Tiancheng went for several hours, Ai Mingshan's face became more and more ugly, and finally called Qiu Shi and Ai Qiaohua and asked them to go out to find someone.
Now Ma's is gone.
"It's dark outside, you dare to let Qiaohua go out, what if something happens!"
Ai Mingshan said angrily: "Your daughter is a human being, isn't it someone else's, if it weren't for your good girl chewing the root of her tongue behind her back, how would the Lan family run out!" ”
"What's wrong with my daughter, I have to hurt if she gives birth well."
"I think she's spoiled for you!"
The old couple quarreled in the upper room, and Ai Qiaoqiao was caught in the middle of it and felt uncomfortable, so she had to sneak out quietly and sit on the steps and wait.
Ai Tiancheng never came back, Qiu Shi and Ai Qiaohua were still sent out by the old man, and the two ran back after only going to a bag of cigarettes.
Qiu said to Old Man Ai, "Tiancheng said, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anyone until dawn if I continue to look for it like this, so it's better to mobilize the people in the village to help find it." ”
Old Man Ai nodded.
Ma Shi shouted, "Then how can it be done, let them help find our family to do some favors." ”
According to the rules of the village, no matter whether or not people are found in the end, Lao Ai's family will have to take care of a meal and entertain these people in the end.
Ma Shi was hard-hearted, but he didn't agree to ask the villagers for help, and quarreled with Old Man Ai again.
"It's not a serious daughter-in-law, it's gone, it's gone, and the family has to buy a pretty dowry, where is the extra money to invite someone to dinner!"
Old Man Ai was about to speak, when he suddenly saw Ai Qiaoqiao standing at the door, looking at them coldly.
"Qiaoqiao......" Old Man Ai beckoned to her awkwardly, "You come here." ”
Ai Qiaoqiao did not go to her grandfather's side, but looked at Ma's.
"Grandma, what did my sister-in-law say to my aunt in the kitchen?"
Lan's mind is not normal, if it is normal, it will definitely not stimulate her.
Ma Shi didn't say anything, Ai Qiaoqiao asked Ai Qiaohua, "Sister-in-law, tell me, what did you say." ”
"I didn't say anything...... "Ai Qiaohua just refused to admit it.
Ai Qiaoqiao's eyes were bloodshot.
"If my mother has three long and two short, I won't be alive, and I will have to pull a few pads on my back when I die."
Ai Qiaohua's face turned white in fright, "You, what nonsense are you talking about...... girl"
"You know what I'm talking about."
"You, you dare to threaten me."
"If my mother is gone, I don't even want my life, what am I afraid of, if you don't say it, I'll ask my aunt, we have a debtor and a master, I will fight for my life to avenge my mother."
Ai Qiaohua threw herself into Ma's arms in fright, "Mother, look at her ......"
Ma Shi stared at Ai Qiaoqiao.
Ai Qiaoqiao did not flinch and glared back at Ma.
"You little white-eyed wolf, you still regard your own family as an enemy." Ma scolded.
"My family didn't force my family to die, my mother was forced away by you, what else do I care." Ai Qiaoqiao simply let it go.
Ma Shi looked at Ai Qiaoqiao, who was like a fried hair, and couldn't help but feel a little hairy in his heart.
Youdao is stunned and afraid of the horizontal, and the horizontal is afraid of dying, she is used to being arrogant at home, so when she suddenly realized that her granddaughter was not afraid of her at all, she couldn't help but feel a little hairy in her heart.
"Go and ask the people in the village for help, find someone." Old man Ai poked his crutches heavily on the ground.
"What if you can't find it?" Ma couldn't help but ask.
"If you can't find it, you have to look for it! The Lan family is from our family, you are not afraid of losing your old face in the village, I am still afraid! After saying this, Old Man Ai actually got off the kang and put on his shoes, and limped out of the door.
"Dad, where are you going?" Ai Qiaohua said uneasily.
"Find someone."
Ai Mingshan went out to help find the Lan family, and Ai Qiaohua and the Qiu family had to follow out again to find someone.
The people of the village were mobilized, and the light of torches could be seen everywhere.
Ai Qiaoqiao also came out to find someone, and the old man Ai asked her to follow the Qiu family, but Ai Qiaoqiao didn't want to see Ai Qiaohua's hypocritical face, so she walked and fell behind.
Seeing that Ai Qiaoqiao was gone, Ai Qiaohua whispered to the Qiu family: "Sister-in-law, do you think this Lan family will go to seek death?" ”
Qiu Shi looked around nervously, and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, Qiaoqiao's girl is not a vegetarian, you don't see that the second daughter-in-law has not taken advantage of her, you have nothing to do to provoke her." ”
"I'm just saying she's a widow, why did she make such a fuss......"
Qiu Shi talked to Ai Qiaohua and gradually walked away.
Ai Qiaoqiao turned out from behind the tree and looked at Ai Qiaohua's back, her eyes gloomy.
Widow......
Her mother still believes that her father is still alive, and although she hopes that Lan will return to normal, she knows in her heart how much Lan loves her father.
What if Lan remembered something...... Will you go looking for a short-sighted......
Ai Qiaoqiao couldn't dare to think about it anymore.
