It was not something that could not be explained. But Eldest Uncle would not believe that Shao Liulang would be up to anything evil!
He would never believe it!
Maybe he would even tell Shao Liulang the truth just to prove that he was never up to any bad.
Due to this, Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan did not explain the reason why the family should keep the trip to the province a secret.
That made Eldest Uncle very displeased.
Qiao Xuan said, “Dad, that is very easy to explain. Just tell them that it is not auspicious to say things ahead of time. That is our belief, isn’t that okay?” “l excuse!” Ms. Fang agreed readily.
Eldest Uncle felt even more annoyed. He threw a blaming look at Qiao Xuan. “This is ridiculous! Why did you keep it a secret, can’t you say that now?”
Shao Yunduan put down the chopsticks. “That doesn’t matter now. Dad, you don’t have to ask about it any more. My wife and 1 are doing everything for the family’s sake.”
Everyone else nodded. “True!”
Eldest Uncle was so angry…
He felt that he had been left out of the family.
“l trust you, but we need to explain it to others clearly so we don’t have misunderstandings…”
“Dad, there is no understanding for us. I believe in my brother no matter what!”
“Shut up!” Eldest Uncle glared at Shao Sanlang. He had wanted to tell Shao Yunduan to take good care of the other sections of the family, but he lost interest, knowing that his request would not be responded to.
Actually, he wanted to hear Shao Yunduan volunteering to make the offer, but that was not going to happen for sure.
Suddenly, a loud banging sound on the door arose. It was Ms. Yan and Ms. Niu.
Chunyu went to open the door.
Ms. Yan and Ms. Niu rushed into the room. Ms. Yan had just greeted them when Ms. Niu cried loudly. “Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law, you have to help us! My grandson is gone, I am so concerned!”
Since they did not know about Shao Yunduan’s visit to the province, they did not find his and Qiao Xuan’s presence strange.
But Ms. Yan realized that she had not seen Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan on her few previous visits, and she felt that the first section of the family must be hiding something from the others. But she did not ask or say anything more.
Ms. Niu’s words shocked everyone in the room.
“Gone? What does that mean?”
“Mom, don’t cry. Tell Eldest Aunt, and Eldest Uncle what happened, so that we can all help!” Ms. Yan cried and held back Ms. Niu in tears.
Ms. Fang felt good that Ms. Yan was present, so things could go easily.
Ms. Yan told the story.
After lunch, Shao Xianwen was playing in the village but did not come home until evening. They did not pay attention to his absence until a long while later. Children were always playing together and they might forget to come home.
Usually, they only went to get children when dinner was ready.
Same went for the second section of the family.
However, they could not find the child. The children who hung out with Shao Xianwen said that he went home already.
That made the second section of the family very anxious.
They went about searching in the village but still failed. They were really anxious at this moment..
