Chapter 435: Little Flower
Minghui chuckled in her heart, could that child be Zhu'er?
Thinking of that dough-like child, Minghui couldn't sit still anymore.
Tang Ji's shop is near the official school, and it is only a wall away from the back gate of the state government, so it stands to reason that the best place for public security in the entire city of Qinzhou is there.
But the child was taken away in the shop!
Who is so bold?
Minghui remembered the conversation between Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law that she overheard in the back office that night, and her breath was blocked in her throat, and she couldn't go up or down.
Minghui put on Wu Erlang's face, took Wu Sanlang and walked out of the inn, Sister Wu saw that she was emotional, a little uneasy, and also went with her.
】
The door of Tang Kee's shop was open, and only the two mothers-in-law were inside, looking at a loss.
Looking at their clothes, they should be helping the cook in the shop, but Sister-in-law Tang is not there, only they are still in the shop.
There were many people standing or sitting outside the door, and there was a lot of discussion.
An aunt obviously watched the audience and saw that the Wu family sisters and brothers had just arrived, and without waiting for them to ask, she talked about it enthusiastically.
"Ouch, you haven't seen her child, white and fat, good to look at, there is only one table of guests in the shop today, two people, asked for two bowls of knife noodles, came in the afternoon, at first glance, it is a serious person, and it is not a meal, who will eat at that hour, right?
Sister-in-law Tang entered the back kitchen and came out with two bowls of noodles, but the guests at the two tables were gone, the noodles were not eaten, and the people left, and they were not at ease at first. ”
Wu Erlang hurriedly asked, "What about the child, when did the child lose it?" ”
"At that moment, her little bead was originally playing on the street with the little dog Xiaohua, and then the little bead entered the shop, the little dog and the little flower both saw it, and in a blink of an eye, I saw a man holding the little bead out, the little dog and the little flower thought it was an acquaintance who took her out to play, who would have thought that those people were so bold and stole the child in other people's shops."
Wu Erlang basically understood, Sister-in-law Tang went in to serve noodles, and Zhu'er returned to the shop from outside at this time, and the two guests saw Zhu'er and took the child away.
That day, when Wu Erlang and Wu Sanlang were eating dumplings here, Zhu'er also came in from outside, thinking that the situation was the same as today, she often played outside the shop with her friends, and came back when she had enough, for her, the shop was her home.
"Who belongs to Puppy and Little Flower?" Wu Erlang asked the aunt.
"The puppy belongs to Lao Tian's family, and Xiaohua belongs to the big fat family, so what, you see, that's Xiaohua."
Wu Erlang looked in the direction of his aunt's finger, and saw a thin little girl, who was being sandwiched under the arm by a fat black woman and walking into the shop, the little girl was in tears, and she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.
"See? That is Xiaohua, she and Zhu'er are both hard-working children, one has no father, and the other has no mother. The aunt sighed.
"Who was holding her? Not her mother? Wu Erlang said so on his lips, but he was thinking in his heart, this big and small are not half similar, if it is a mother and daughter, it is strange.
"No, the big fat woman is her stepmother, Xiaohua has a hard life, and her mother left before she was two years old." Auntie said.
Wu Erlang knew in his heart, he glanced at Sister Wu, and went to Xiaohua's shop alone.
Xiaohua's family sells fried goods, melon seeds, peanuts, chestnuts and walnuts, and the official school is all half-grown children, and these snacks are what they love to eat.
Before entering the door, Wu Erlang heard the scolding from inside: "You are a mourning star, you are still crying, see that the old lady does not kill you, why is it not you who was taken away by the abductor?" ”
Wu Erlang frowned, he hated the person who abused children the most, otherwise he wouldn't have brought Duoduo out of that house in the first place.
Seeing someone walk into the shop, the big fat woman thought it was a guest, and immediately put on a smiling face, and Wu Erlang expressed his admiration for how quickly she changed her face.
"Ouch, little brother, this is a freshly fried chestnut with sugar, and it uses authentic Anyi chestnuts."
Wu Erlang walked straight to Xiaohua, and when he saw the stranger, Xiaohua took a few steps back timidly, and his two little hands tightly tugged at the placket of his clothes.
Wu Erlang's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that in Xiaohua's right hand, in addition to dragging the placket, there was also a red rope exposed.
He smiled and stretched out his hand: "Your name is Xiaohua, right?" Is it okay to show your brother what you have in hand? ”
Before Xiaohua could speak, the big fat woman had already shouted alertly: "What are you doing?" Go out without buying anything! ”
Wu Erlang slowly took out a dime of broken silver from his purse, about three or four coins in weight, he put the broken silver on the table, and the big fat woman's eyes suddenly lit up, after all, she is a person who begs for a living on the street all the year round, and she still has a little bit of eyes.
The big fat woman turned around and yelled at Xiaohua: "Take out the things in your hand, hurry up!" ”
Then, with a smile on his face, he said to Wu Erlang: "Little brother, don't care, children are not sensible. ”
Xiaohua obviously didn't give her face, not only did she not hand over the things, but hid her two little hands behind her, and the big fat woman was angry, and picked up the big slap of the pu fan and hit Xiaohua.
"Stop!" Wu Erlang yelled, startling the big fat woman.
Wu Erlang glared at her coldly, and said softly to Xiaohua: "Let my brother guess, the thing in your hand was given to you by Zhu'er, right?" ”
Xiaohua looked at Wu Erlang in surprise and nodded slowly.
Wu Erlang said again: "That's a little monkey, right?" ”
"Huh, how do you know?" Xiaohua said curiously.
"Of course my brother knows, because this little monkey was given to Zhu'er by my brother." Wu Erlang smiled with crooked eyebrows.
Xiaohua stretched out the little hand hidden behind her back, and what she had been holding in her hand was the little pecan monkey that Wu Erlang gave to Zhu'er two days ago.
The big fat woman looked at Wu Erlang, and then looked at the little monkey in Xiaohua's hand, and was about to say something, Wu Erlang took out a tael of silver from his purse and put it next to the broken silver just now, the big fat woman's eyes immediately straightened, and she subconsciously stretched out her fat hand and covered her mouth, so as not to say a word, disturb this Yaxing, and then take back the two pieces of silver.
"This little monkey was given to you by Zhu'er?" Wu Erlang asked.
Xiaohua shook her head: "No, this is from Zhu'er's body, I picked it up." ”
"Then tell my brother, what does the person who took the beads look like?"
Wu Erlang said, and touched the purse on his waist again, the big fat woman's eyes were about to pop out, and she took out the silver, and she took out the silver again!
But this time, Wu Erlang didn't let her get her wish.
Wu Erlang was unhurried, and what he took out of his purse was also a small pendant with a walnut withering, which was a little rabbit.
He has always loved these gadgets and will buy them when he sees them, so he always carries a few with him.
"The little monkey is Zhu'er's, this little rabbit gives it to Xiaohua, okay?"
