Farmhouse Green Plum

Chapter 177 Shirk

Song Ying had nowhere else to go, so where else could he go if not next door?

Liu took a deep breath and managed to regain some rationality, "Second brother's family, go find your second aunt."

Sun woke up as if from a dream, turned around and rushed out of the room.

If a girl did not come home at night, for several days at a time, the Song family's reputation would be ruined if the news got out.

Although there are no other girls in the family of this generation and there is no need to worry about delaying other people's marriages, it would be really bad if the reputation gets out, and it may even implicate the girls of the in-laws.

What's more, Song Ying lived next door to their main house. They hadn't noticed that he hadn't returned home for so many days. People didn't know what they would say about their main house.

This is not just a matter of the second house, it concerns the entire Song family!

Sun had never felt that the village was so big, and the road to the second house was so long. When she finally arrived outside the second house's yard, she was already out of breath.

She raised her hand to knock on the door, but a familiar voice came from behind her, "Wait a minute."

Sun was startled and turned around to find that the person coming was her elder sister-in-law, Xiao Liu.

Just now, Xiao Liu had been running behind her, but she didn't even notice it.

Xiao Liu took a deep breath and tried to calm her breathing. Then she lowered her voice and said, "Keep the noise down. We can't let outsiders find out!"

Sun was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

As long as outsiders don't find out, we can always find a way to cover up the matter and there is still room for recovery.

She nodded and knocked gently on the door.

Fortunately, what happened this evening was so infuriating that Li and others did not sleep. When they heard the noise, they quickly came out to open the door.

Seeing the two sisters-in-law, Yang took a long time to react: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, why are you here? Come in and sit down."

As he spoke, he quickly glanced at their hands and found that they didn't bring anything, which made him feel even more strange.

Normally, when relatives come to visit you late at night, they will bring some delicious food prepared at home for you to try.

Of course, because the relationship between the two families is not good, they have not sent meals to each other for many years. They only sit down and discuss things during the annual ancestor worship. When they meet in the village on weekdays, they just maintain face.

Before Sun could think of how to start, Xiao Liu spoke first: "Mother-in-law is not feeling well. The old man wants to ask Second Aunt to go over and discuss it."

"What's wrong with aunt? She was fine, why is she in poor health?" Yang was very surprised. She saw aunt working in the fields from afar a few days ago. How could she suddenly become unwell?

Given the relationship between the two families, the eldest wife would naturally not come to visit in case of ordinary illness. The only person who could specially come to invite her mother-in-law over was the eldest aunt Liu who was in critical condition.

Mrs. Liu said vaguely, "How can an old man like me say for sure?"

Yang thought it made sense and quickly invited the two men into the house.

Mrs. Li, who was in the room, heard something. When she saw the two men coming in, she was about to say something concerning, but then she heard Mrs. Liu say, "Second Aunt, Song Ying is missing."

"Gone?" Li frowned, "What do you mean?"

They were already inside the house, so there was no need to worry about being overheard. Sun immediately started talking, "We went next door just now to ask her to come home for dinner, but no one opened the door. I was anxious and went straight inside. There was no one in the house, and the pots and bowls were covered in dust."

Li's eyes widened and her mouth opened and closed several times, but she didn't say a word.

"Second Aunt, hold on!" Little Liu hurriedly supported Li, and seeing that she looked unwell, she hurriedly pinched her philtrum.

After a long while, Li finally recovered and asked anxiously, "How could there be no one here for such a big living person? There's only a wall between us and there's no movement over there. Didn't you notice anything?"

Little Liu and Sun were very embarrassed. Sun stammered, "We farmers go out early and come back late. It's normal for her to sleep until noon in the morning and eat and go to bed early in the evening."

Li was so angry that she couldn't breathe: "A living person should make some noise at least. There is no noise next door. Do you think it's normal?"

Sun was unhappy: "Aunt, what you said is wrong. Song Ying is from your second house, not our first house. He has moved out for half a month, and you haven't seen him. You didn't even ask a question."

Li was furious, "Okay, okay, the first wife will ignore us from the second wife's side. When Song Xingcai and Liu Xiulan die in the future, don't call us from the second wife's side!"

Xiao Liu hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Second Aunt, that's not what we meant!

Seeing that both sides were about to argue, Yang became anxious and said hurriedly, "Mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, now is not the time to argue about these things. The most important thing right now is to find a way to resolve this matter so as not to affect the reputation of our Song family."

Li glared at Xiao Liu and Sun angrily, took a deep breath and said, "Let's go and take a look first!"

Second Uncle Song glanced outside and said with some concern, "Mom, don't go. It's pitch black. Don't fall. Yang and I will go."

Li thought about it, agreed, and instructed: "If you really can't find anyone, go to the Luo family and ask."

Needless to say, Uncle Song also had this plan. His niece was good friends with the girl from the Luo family, so she must know her niece's whereabouts.

Mrs. Liu was a little worried: "With Mrs. Wang's personality, she will know that this matter will spread everywhere, and Yingwa's reputation will be ruined."

Mrs. Li was furious and said, "Is your brain for venting anger? Who asked you to ask loudly? Don't you know how to find a reason to call the Luo family's maid out and ask quietly?"

Being ruthlessly criticized by the elder from the next room, little Liu felt very embarrassed and angry, but because Li was the elder, she could not fight back directly.

She is not her brother's sister-in-law, Sun. Everyone knows that she speaks without thinking and occasionally talks back to her elders, but everyone just thinks she is reckless.

Uncle Song and Yang followed Liu's sister-in-law away. Song Tian and Song Yuan wanted to follow them but were forcibly held down by Li.

With the current atmosphere at home, Song Tian and Song Yuan didn't dare to persist.

Seeing Li's heavy face, Song Yuan comforted her: "Sister may have been delayed in the county. We used to go to the county often and are very familiar with the road. Don't worry."

Song Tian poked his forehead and said, "Are you stupid? Didn't you hear what Second Aunt said, that the pots and bowls are covered with dust? Pots and bowls will only be covered with dust if no one has lived there for a long time."

Song Yuan thought about it seriously and realized that this was exactly what Sun had said just now. He was about to cry, but Li quickly covered his mouth with her hands.

"Why are you howling in the middle of the night? Are you afraid that others won't know that your sister is missing?"

Song Yuan shook his head with tears in his eyes and pried Li's hands apart: "It's all your fault. You didn't let me go to play with my sister. I wanted to ask her to help me learn to read, but you wouldn't let me..."
