When Yuan Pandi and the others went to block Yuan Shougui outside the Sheng Family Manor, Yuan Bao and his sister were leisurely heading toward Sanchuan City with their grandparents and mother.
According to Mrs. Li, she was scheduled to meet with a matchmaker at Qingshui Square in Sanchuan City.
Qingshui Square is located in the southern part of Sanchuan City, and it hosts many general stores, small tea houses, and food buildings. Usually, if the folks outside the city have something to sell in the city, they’ll set up stalls in the designated area of Qingshui Square.
Yuan Bao and his group walked quickly, afraid of missing the meeting.
Unfortunately, by the time they arrived at Sanchuan City and walked from one end of Qingshui Square to the other, checking every shop along the way, there was no trace of Mrs. Li and Yuan Shougui.
"How did we miss them?"
Mrs. Zeng was a bit unhappy.
Yuan Bao, however, was almost certain that his aunt and his cousin were not coming for the meeting at all.
Once that was confirmed, the rest became much easier.
Not finding Mrs. Li and Yuan Shougui, Yuan Bao didn’t make a fuss; instead, he turned his attention to the pastries and snacks by the street.
Children, after all, are naturally drawn to tasty treats.
With Yuan Bao asking for food, Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng stopped worrying about the future daughter-in-law for their eldest grandson. If they couldn’t find them, so be it; after all, the family was divided, and they were not living with the eldest’s family. Let it go, they decided not to dwell on it.
However, even Yuan Bao was surprised at the sheer coincidence.
After deciding to not bother about Mrs. Li and Yuan Shougui anymore, Yuan Bao suddenly spotted Mrs. Li walking on the street.
"Grandma, Grandma, it’s Aunt!"
As soon as she saw Mrs. Li, Yuan Bao waved her chubby little hand, pointing in Mrs. Li’s direction.
Following Yuan Bao’s pointing finger, Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng, along with Mrs. Xiao Li, also saw Mrs. Li.
At that moment, Mrs. Li was leisurely walking down the street, holding a small bag of freshly fried crispy pork, eating happily.
Seeing the crispy pork in Mrs. Li’s hand, Yuan Shouhu, the simple-minded brother, immediately started to shout.
"Okay, okay, eat, eat!"
Hearing the little grandson’s shout, Mrs. Zeng straightforwardly agreed.
"Mom, I’ll go buy some!"
Mrs. Xiao Li had money on her, so naturally, she took on the role of running errands.
The Yuan Family’s life wasn’t bad; they never lacked meat.
But you know, what you buy outside always has some differences compared to what you make at home. Besides, when kids are in the street, if they show no interest in food, there’s a ninety-nine percent chance something’s wrong with their heads.
Before long, Mrs. Xiao Li came back with crispy pork, five small paper bags—one for each.
Although each paper bag had only a small amount of crispy pork, Mrs. Xiao Li’s gesture was spot-on.
The crispy pork could be made at home, but the taste was slightly different than what’s sold outside. Anyway, Yuan Bao thought that homemade crispy pork had too little oil and wasn’t crisp enough.
As for the crispy pork bought outside, it was quite delicious.
At present, she already had more than twenty teeth, even two more than her simple-minded brother, so eating this crispy pork was no problem at all.
The only downside was that she couldn’t eat too much—her little tummy had limited capacity.
Moreover, she had already stuffed several types of snacks into her mouth during this short period.
The group slowly ate their crispy pork while following Mrs. Li from a distance.
After following for a while, Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng started to feel something was off; their daughter-in-law’s demeanor didn’t seem like she was here for a meeting at all.
The most crucial thing was, their eldest grandson was nowhere to be found! The rightful source is N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
