Chapter Seven, Disappearance.
Meng Qiuxiang said, "I haven't seen her since morning, and she's not in the room. Maybe she couldn't stand staying at the Xiao family anymore and ran away!"
Fortunately, with Yu Niang's support over the years, otherwise, given the situation of the Xiao family, I'm afraid they wouldn't have made it this far!
Hu Yunxue smiled knowingly, about to say something, but then remembered that Yuniang was still in the room, glaring at her with hostility. She stood up and said to Xiao Mo, "Zi Heng, my father is still waiting for news in the hall, and it's getting late. I should go back first!"
Nap time, not long, but sleep very soundly.
Xiao Mo was somewhat puzzled, but of course, he couldn't ask now, so he could only continue to pretend to be asleep.
Damn it, you really got excited about the polite words I said!
On my face, there was a small hand, feeling the small hand gently stroking back and forth on my face. Xiao Mo squinted his eyes and took a sneak peek, only to discover that the person by the bedside was actually Yu Niang.
In the heart of Yuniang, there is bitterness, not knowing how to talk to Xiaomo. Just now, Xiaomo's conversation with Huyunxue was seen, heard, and remembered in her heart. How could there be a good complexion?
Hu Yunxue smiled upon hearing this and asked, "Is this a sincere statement?"
This doesn't seem like the usual Yu Niang. Xiao Ya Tou seems unhappy, I wonder what's bothering her. Xiao Mo felt puzzled for a moment, could it be something happened to Yu Niang's family?
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, Lin Yiyè couldn't help but feel discouraged. She turned around and asked Hu Yunxue, "Miss Yunxue, do you know when Ziheng's illness will get better?"
Xiao Mo shook his head and said, "Does Mother also not know where Yu Niang has gone?"
Xiao Mo's heart trembled at the words, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
Meng Qiuxiang also sighed and then left the room.
When I woke up again, it was dinner time and I was awakened by Yuniang.
After a pause, Meng Qiuxiang continued, "My child, don't take it to heart. Your mother is not a cruel person. It's just that over the years, we have been a burden to her. Your stepmother has a kind heart and has always refused to leave us. Your mother had no choice but to be harsh on her. I thought that one day, this girl would not be able to bear it and would leave us, find someone else and remarry... This child is also a person with a hard life..."
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, Lin Yiyè also came to a realization and quickly said, "I see, Ziheng. I just remembered that there are some matters at home that I need to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer. I will take my leave now!"
At this moment, Hu Yunxue was extremely embarrassed and didn't know what to do for a while. It was still Xiao Mo who helped to resolve the situation.
Xiao Mo felt proud in his heart, secretly thinking: What is called charm, this is what I call charm. Where can your Lin Yiyue, this despicable man, compare?
Looking at the angry expression of Yuniang, Xiaomo didn't know where he had offended this young widow, but Xiaomo didn't dare to ask.
Originally, Meng Qiuxiang is sharp-tongued but kind-hearted. It was only then that Xiao Mo began to take his cheap old mother seriously.
Can't be, gone missing?
The body was originally weak, and being pulled by Lin Yuye to chat for more than an hour, Xiao Mo naturally couldn't handle it.
What is this girl up to?
Asked Meng Qiuxiang, Meng Qiuxiang also didn't know, just said: "Maybe she went back to her mother's home. Why? Feeling unwell after not seeing her for half a day?"
After drinking the ginseng soup, Xiao Mo felt a little tired and then fell into a deep sleep.
Sensing Lin Yuye's lewd gaze and Yuniang's dissatisfaction, Hu Yunxue suddenly realized that she had called Xiaomo too intimately, and her face turned red.
As he was getting dressed, Xiao Mo unexpectedly fell asleep.
After speaking, Xiao Mo closed his eyes and fell silent.
Seeing Lin Yuye being so sensible, how could Xiaomo not be happy? He said, "Oh, Liang An and I are old classmates. We had a great conversation today. Why are you leaving so soon?"
So Xiao Mo dared not nod, but he also did not shake his head.
Upon hearing Xiao Mo's question, Yu Niang shook her head and picked up the bowl, saying, "Uncle, the ginseng soup is ready to be served!"
Really... Brother Zhiheng, do you really have a solution?
Hu Yunxue had not spoken yet, and Xiao Mo interrupted, saying, "Recovering from illness is like pulling a thread, how can it be so fast? Resting is necessary. Liang An, you know that, right? The doctor said I need to rest now!"
Upon hearing that Xiao Mo really had a way to attract traffic, Lin Yie was somewhat surprised, with his mouth wide open as if he had an egg in his mouth and couldn't close it!
After Lin Yiyè arrived, he talked to Xiao Mo for almost an hour. Although Xiao Mo learned a lot about this era from Lin Yiyè, he couldn't stand Lin Yiyè's talkativeness and became a little impatient.
Upon hearing Hu Yunxue's phone call, Yu Niang pouted, while Lin Yiye looked at Hu Yunxue with some surprise and then glanced at Xiao Mo with a hint of ambiguity. Secretly, he gave Xiao Mo a thumbs up.
After waking up Yu Niang, Xiao Mo remained silent. After feeding her, he got up, closed the door, and left Xiao Mo's room.
When Lin Yiyè thought about the terrain of Changle Town, he felt a little discouraged. However, Hu Yunxue and Lan Xinhui were both intelligent and wise. She glanced at Xiao Mo and asked, "Ziheng, since you can talk about diversion, do you have a way to help the town bring in river water?"
After coughing, Xiao Mo said, "There is a method, but I'm not sure if it will work. We'll have to wait until I'm better to discuss everything. In my current state, even if I have ideas, they won't amount to anything!"
"Really?" Lin Yuye's body paused, and he said with shining eyes, "I have also been thinking about Ziheng. Since Ziheng has spoken, I will come often in the future to exchange ideas on the classics with him! How about Ziheng takes a rest for a while, and after dinner, I will come back to have a candlelit conversation with him?"
Where does Xiao Mo have any certainty? Not to mention that he is unfamiliar with the people and places in Changle Town, even if he has a way, what can he do in his current state?
There is a way, but I can't tell you! Seeing Lin Yiyè's eager look, Xiao Mo pondered for a moment and thought that with Lin Yiyè's intelligence, even if he told him those drainage methods, he might not understand. It's better to keep him guessing!
After Lin Yiyè left, Xiao Mo's face immediately fell.
There are traces of tears on Yuniang's face, as if she had just cried.
I swear, this time it's really the truth!Xiao Mo quickly said. Upon hearing Xiao Mo's words, Hu Yunxue blushed, smiled at Xiao Mo, and then left.
In the past, not all the time was spent being attended to by Yuniang for personal grooming, so Xiaomo didn't pay much attention to it. However, when it came to lunchtime, Yuniang still hadn't appeared, which made Xiaomo start to feel suspicious.
In my heart, I complained, but Lin Yuye didn't say anything. At this moment, Xiao Mo said, "In the future, Liang An should come often. I have been sick for three years and miss Brother Liang An very much!"
Really talkative, provoked this chatterbox, how to live in the future?
Poor parents' hearts are the same all over the world. Meng Qiuxiang, too, has been holding on to her marriage for the sake of the two Xiao brothers. She worked hard to raise Xiao Fu and Xiao Mo, but unfortunately received the terrible news of losing her middle-aged son, and now Xiao Mo is also seriously ill!
Xiao Mo couldn't help but secretly complain when he heard Lin Yiyè's words. Lin Yiyè smirked and said, "Well, it doesn't matter. We'll part ways here for now. There will be plenty of time for us to meet again in the future."
"Zi Heng!" Hu Yunxue was a little anxious, thinking that Xiao Moyou had an idea but refused to speak it out, so she coquettishly complained.
When Xiao Mo woke up, he felt a little confused. Even when he wanted to open his eyes, he suddenly felt like there was something on his face. Xiao Mo was startled, and only then did he fully wake up.
Xiao Mo cursed Lin Yuye in his heart and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling, but my body can't handle the exhaustion. So let's skip the late-night discussion."
After Hu Yunxue left, only Yuniang remained.
Xiao Mo glanced at Yu Niang and noticed that her complexion was not good. He asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Mo was puzzled in his heart. Seeing the spoon already being handed to his mouth, he opened his mouth and took a sip.
Why did you call Uncle again?
Xiao Mo nodded and said, "I feel a strong connection with Miss Yunxue, so please come visit often in the future!"
The Qiao family has always wanted Yuniang to remarry. Xiao Mo also knows this, so the reason why Yuniang is unhappy today is likely because of this. If that's the case, after asking clearly tomorrow, comforting her should solve the problem.
Thinking of this, Xiao Mo said to Meng Qiuxiang, "Let's ask someone to go to the Qiao family and inquire!"
A woman is like this. Xiao Mo thought for a moment and finally felt that it was better to remain silent.
Xiao Mo is telling Lin Yuye that if he wants to recover from his illness quickly, he should not disturb him. I need to rest now.
The next morning, when Xiao Mo woke up, he did not see Yu Niang. It was Meng Qiu Xiang who helped him freshen up.
Lin Yiyè rolled her eyes and thought to herself, "Isn't it because you said you needed to rest?"
There is no way, who said there is a way? Xiao Mo began to deny it, saying to Lin Yiyue: "I mean, even if there is a way now, it is useless. I have to wait until I recover and go to the riverbank to observe. It is too early to say there is a way now!"
Xiao Mo nodded repeatedly, but Hu Yunxue said, "Not necessarily. You said the same thing to Master Lin just now, but your face was full of bitterness!"
I don't know why, but in this moment, Meng Qiuxiang in Xiao Mo's eyes seemed to have grown taller. Looking at Meng Qiuxiang, who was not even fifty years old but already had a slightly stooped figure and graying temples, Xiao Mo couldn't help but sigh.
Looking at Yuniang's current state, I'm afraid she won't say even if I ask. Maybe she will even cry.
At dusk, Meng Qiuxiang anxiously arrived at the room and said as soon as she met: "Son, there's a letter from the Qiao family, saying that Yuniang hasn't returned. It's getting dark, where could Yuniang have gone?"
