Another group of people even took it upon themselves to guard the village exit, just in case.
Watching the people disappear from sight, Yang Chuxia then looked back at Ms.Liu who was still crying.
She said to Ruoqiu, "Help your mother inside. What’s the use of crying? Later, lock the door in the courtyard and don’t open it for anyone but your father and the others."
Ruoqiu’s eyes were filled with tears as she nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Ms.Liu was still glaring at Ms.Luo from time to time, Yang Chuxia reminded her, "Now is not the time to glare at her. It won’t help. Wait for your grandfather and the others to come back and decide what to do. As for what happened to my grandpa tonight, hmph, I won’t let her off once this is over."
Having said that, Yang Chuxia glared at Ms.Luo. Did she think just a beating was enough?
Hmph, if these two aren’t properly dealt with, they’ll cause even more trouble, daring to watch someone bleed without calling a doctor.
When Yang Chuxia and Ye Zi’an returned from Old Yang’s house, Ms.Wang was waiting in the main room, with the younger ones already asleep.
Seeing them come in, she quickly got up and asked, "How is it? Has the person been found?"
"Not yet. Grandfather and the others have gone to look for her in the neighboring villages. I just can’t understand how she could just disappear like that in our village, without any information at all."
"Maybe, as you said, she’s still in one of these nearby villages and hasn’t been taken away yet. All our villages are on one road and unlike other villages, we don’t have many small paths. If she was really kidnapped by traffickers, they would have to take her to the town, so there must be some clues."
"Let’s wait and see."
Ms.Wang was also very worried when she heard about the incident. Although she didn’t care for the first branch of the family, she didn’t want such a thing to happen to a girl, especially as it happened because of Old Master’s disappearance.
"Mother, how is grandpa?"
"He took some medicine and is resting now. I didn’t tell him about this so he’s still asleep."
"Well, don’t tell him for now and let him recuperate." Yang Chuxia thought that Old Master must be heartbroken by the fourth branch of the family this time.
Yang Dachuan and the others didn’t return until late in the night, but the result was not ideal. The villagers from Li’s Village and Liu Village were cooperative and helped to search willingly, even going through their own homes. They also checked nearby hills and other places people could be hidden, but still, no news was found.
With no choice left, Land Officer Yang and the others had to return to their village and send someone to report the case to the authorities when day breaks.
In the main house of the Yang Family, the atmosphere was filled with sadness and anxiety. Ms.Liu kept crying, Yang Da’an was disheartened, while Yang Xiaochuan and Ms.Luo couldn’t hide their delight, which infuriated Ms.Liu, but she had no energy to argue.
"Oh, what’s going on? Why do you all look so upset?" A discordant voice appeared outside the courtyard of the Yang Family’s house.
Ruoqiu turned to see Yang Lichun, whom she hadn’t seen for several days. Her face still bore the scars from their previous fight, but they had faded a lot.
But why was she in the village? Ruoqiu wondered suspiciously.
"Hehe, I just got into the village and heard that the bitch who ruined my face got kidnapped? It really is gratifying! This is called retribution, it’s just that it’s not the right time yet." Yang Lichun’s eyes flashed with spite as she spoke these words.
Had Old Yang been present, he would surely think she and Old Lady Hua were very much alike.
