General, Your Wife Is Requesting Your Return Home For Farming - Chapter 163
163 Protective
Su Xiaoxiao said to Madam Wu, “Sister Wu, take the child to the Li family and let Sister Zhao feed him.”
“Alright.” Madam Wu nodded.
“This is my second sister’s child!” Su Erlang blocked Madam Wu’s path. “If you made my second sister disappear, who knows what you will do to my second sister’s child?”
Su Ergou rolled up his sleeves. “Are you crazy? Do you want to fight?”
!!
“What for?”
It was Su Cheng.
He had just returned from the Li family’s field and was carrying a basket of freshly picked vegetables with Wei Ting.
When the two men at home appeared, Su Can and the others’ arrogance clearly weakened.
However, very quickly, Su Can straightened his back again. “Su Cheng, where did your family hide Yuniang? With the villagers around, your Su family had better give us an explanation!”
Su Cheng looked into the room. “Is Yuniang not here?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “In the morning, Sister Wu came back from washing the salted eggs and didn’t see Yu Niang.”
Su Cheng frowned.
It was already night.
Wei Ting’s cold and sharp gaze swept past Su Can and his son.
Su Can inadvertently turned his head and met Wei Ting’s icy cold gaze.
Ordinary people were not used to making eye contact. Whether it was getting caught when looking at others or catching others looking at them, they would subconsciously dodge.
However, Wei Ting did not avert his eyes.
He seemed to be born with the unruliness and calmness of a superior being.
On the other hand, Su Can’s heart skipped a beat under his oppressive gaze.
“Mother.”
The three little ones scurried over from next door.
“Don’t bully my mother!”
Dahu said fiercely.
The three little bullies stood in front of Su Xiaoxiao fiercely.
The villagers were a little surprised.
It was already good enough that such young children did not cry in fear when they encountered such a huge formation. The few little fellows actually had the guts to stand in front of the entire village for their stepmother.
They were all children, but why was the difference so big?
Madam He thought of her son, Niudan. On the day the family separated, there was a scene in the central room and Niudan cried in the kitchen. He did not even dare to fart.
It was infuriating that Niudan couldn’t even match up to two-and-a-half-year-old children.
Su Xiaoxiao patted their heads. “I’m fine. Go in with Father first. I’ll be back soon.”
The three children looked at their fair and chubby mother, then at their crippled father. They nodded thoughtfully. It seemed that their mother was indeed better at fighting.
Su Cheng also said, “Son-in-law, go in first. Don’t get hurt when we fight later!”
Wei Ting, who had been severely underestimated was speechless.
On the other side, Su Yuniang’s child was crying. Su Xiaoxiao said to Su Ergou, “Ergou, accompany Sis Wu to the Li Family.”
“Yes!” Su Ergou agreed, grabbed the machete, and walked out.
Su Erlang was so frightened that his face turned pale. He thought to himself that he must not give in but had already given way meekly.
Su Ergou sent Little Wu to the Li family.
Madam Zhao fed the child and asked what had happened.
Madam Wu sighed. “Yuniang is missing.”
Mrs. Zhao said, “Just now, Ergou came to ask Father if he had seen Yu Niang leave the village.”
Madam Wu said, “That’s right. We thought that Yuniang had gone to the government office to do something.”
As for what it was about, Little Wu did not say. Mrs. Zhao was not a gossipy person, so she tactfully did not probe further.
When Mdm Qian heard this from outside the door, her expression turned ugly. What did Su Yuniang’s disappearance have to do with the Su family?
Su Yuniang had her own legs and feet. Could Daya tie her up?
Madam Qian was still brooding over Su Yuniang intercepting the midwife, but Madam Qian’s impression of the Su family had long changed.
“Old man, go take a look.”
She called Old Li, “Call the village head too.”
Old Li was very surprised. “Why are you suddenly willing to meddle in other people’s business today?”
Madam Qian was not someone who liked to join in the fun.
Madam Qian glared at him. “I’m not an ungrateful person!”
Although she did not say it out loud, she remembered how much Daya had helped their family.
Unfortunately, even the village head could not help with Su Yuniang’s matter.
Su Xiaoxiao asked calmly, “You keep saying that I hid Yu Niang. Why would I hide her?”
Madam Zhou said sarcastically, “Are you afraid that Yuniang will recover and you won’t be able to earn money, so you deliberately hid her for a few more days?”
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Can mockingly. “I think the Su family knows why Yu Niang moved into my house.”
Su Can’s eyes flashed.
Madam Zhou chuckled and said, “Didn’t you want to scam the consultation fees and deliberately make Yuniang’s illness worse? That’s why Yuniang had no choice but to stay in your house to recuperate?”
Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly. “Oh, so that’s what your Su family told the villagers.”
Su Can cleared his throat.
Aunt Liu suddenly said, “Ah, I remember something. In the morning, I seemed to have seen Yuniang’s younger brother coming to look for Yuniang. They left from the back of the house! I was cooking in the kitchen at that time! I even called him! I asked him if he was looking for his eldest sister, but he didn’t answer, but I saw him enter the kitchen of the Su family.”
Sun Sanlang been here!
Things had taken a turn!
The village head quickly asked Li Xiaoyong to call Su Sanlang over.
He had come with Su Jinniang and Madam Fang.
Ever since Su Xiaoxiao taught Su Jinniang a lesson and threatened her not to appear in front of her again, Su Jinniang had indeed not gone out for a few days.
There were many people today. Su Jinniang didn’t believe that Su Xiaoxiao would do anything to her in public, so she mustered her courage and came over.
“Sanlang.” Su Xiaoxiao asked him, “Did you come to see your elder sister today?”
Everyone turned to look at him.
Su Sanlang was only ten years old. When had he ever encountered such a situation? He was so frightened that he hid behind Madam Fang.
The village head said, “Sanlang, don’t be afraid. Just say what’s on your mind.”
Su Sanlang looked timidly at his father and two brothers and nodded weakly.
The village head continued, “Did your eldest sister tell you where she was going?”
Su Sanlang shook his head.
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Sanlang, who told you to look for your sister?”
Ever since Su Yuniang moved into the Su family, the Su family did not allow Su Sanlang to interact with her anymore. Therefore, there must be a reason for his sudden visit.
He hesitated, then whispered, “Grandpa sent me.”
Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Why did he ask you to look for your sister?”
“He asked me to bring Eldest Sis back,” he said.
Su Xiaoxiao asked again, “Did your sister go back with you?”
He hesitated for a moment before answering softly, “Yes.”
When the siblings returned, Aunt Liu did not see them. She went to cook.
Su Xiaoxiao paused, “Do you know why your grandfather asked your sister to go back?”
Su Sanlang shook his head. “Grandpa didn’t say.”
Su Cheng raised his chin and snorted coldly. “Did you hear that? Yu Niang has returned to your Su family. You still came to our house to ask for her?”
Su Erlang said angrily, “My second sister did go back, but she took her things and left again!”
“Is that so, Sanlang?” Su Xiaoxiao looked at the ten-year-old child again.
Su Sanlang nodded slowly. “Eldest Sis seems to have quarreled with the family. She took a bundle and left in a hurry. I called out to her, but she ignored me. I saw her coming from the back… to your house.”
Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and asked, “Did you see her enter our house?”
He searched his memory. “Well, she went in the back door.”
Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes turned cold.
Yuniang had returned?
Then, she disappeared again?
Was Su Sanlang lying, or was there something else going on?
