The old lady hurriedly stood up and put down the things in her hands. “What’s going on? Huh? Xiaozhen, what happened to your head?”
When Xiaozhen saw her grandmother who wanted to love her, her eyes instantly turned red. She ran forward and hugged her waist aggrievedly, crying softly.
The old ladys heart clenched. She patted her back again and again and looked at Shu Yu. “What… What happened to your Fourth Aunt’s house?”
She didn’t see Sixing, only the two children, and they didn’t look too good.
Seeing this, the others in the courtyard also surrounded them.
Lu Dasong went forward and patted Xiaozhen!s head. Then, he helped the old lady into the house again. “Mother, please sit down first. I’ll tell you slowly.”
“Tell me slowly? Hurry up and don’t scare me.”
Lu Dasong hurriedly nodded. He glanced at Xiaozhen and then told her everything they had heard when they went to Daxu Village.
When the old lady heard that Lu Sixing had been taken away and locked up by the officials, her face instantly turned pale, and her hands could not help but tremble.
How could such a thing happen?
Wasn’t her son-in-law missing? How did he become a criminal?
Madam Liang was also dumbfounded when she heard this. The needle in her hand accidentally pricked her finger. She cried out in pain and quickly put down the needle and thread.
Everyone in the room reacted.
Shu Yu handed Quanquan to Madam Liang and let her hold Quanquan first.
Then, she covered the old lady’s trembling hands with both hands.
“Grandmother, don’t worry. I’ll come over and leave Quanquan at home first.
Then, I’ll go to the county town to look for Lord Xiang and see if I can see Fourth Aunt. It’s also a good time to understand how much Fourth Aunt knows. Officer Wang told me that as long as Fourth Aunt doesn’t know, there’s a high chance that her life won’t be in danger.”
The old lady turned around and looked at her in a daze. She nodded subconsciously and quickly said, “I’ll go too.”
“Alright.”
Shu Yu told her about Quanquan’s situation and asked Madam Liang to help take care of him first.
However, when Madam Liang heard that Quanquan did not seem to be in a good mood, she was afraid that something bad would happen to Quanquan and she would not be able to explain it later.
She quickly said, “l can’t do it alone. There are a few children at home, and our
Baoya is still young. I can’t take care of them all.”
Shu Yu thought that it made sense. She called out to Dahu, “Go and find Mother. Tell her to come back first.’
The courtyard where the clothes were made was also in Liufang Alley, not far from here.
“Alright.” Dahu immediately ran out, and Dabao hurriedly followed.
After a while, the two children disappeared.
The old lady had calmed down a little. She hugged Xiaozhen, whose eyes were red and swollen, and took Quanquan from Madam Liangs arms. She wiped her face and said to Madam Liang, “First, fry Quanquan’s medicine. When Second’s wife comes back later, help her feed him. Something had already happened to Sixing. The child must be fine.”
Madam Liang had no objections. She immediately took the medicine packet
from Daniu’s hand and went to the kitchen.
Sanya also ran into the house, took the candy that she had saved up, and handed it to Xiaozhen.
The latter was stunned. Sanya simply stuffed the candy into her mouth. “Your forehead is injured. It won’t hurt anymore after you eat the candy.”
Sanya was a year younger than Xiaozhen. In the past, Lu Sixing would bring her to Lu Erbai’s house from time to time, so the relationship between the sisters was quite good.
Seeing that Xiaozhen was indeed much happier after eating the candy, Sanya immediately stuffed the rest into her mouth..
