The beloved baby has a space

Chapter 168 Wang Chuanman sets off to find people

Before Wang Aibao went missing, she and Wang Chuanman were inseparable; the two siblings had the closest relationship.

Wang Chuanman said, "My eldest brother has to take care of village affairs, my second brother is now studying with the children, and my third brother is in charge of the shop. I'm the only one who hasn't started working yet. I'll go find the most suitable one."

Wang Chuanfu disagreed: "How are you going to find them? Do you even know where they're going? I'll go instead. I'm older than you, and I've made some connections in town before, so I might be able to use them."

Seeing that Wang Chuanman was about to speak, Wang Chuanfu stopped him with a gesture, and then continued, "There's nothing important in the village, just some farm work. If you're really too busy, just hire someone. It's better if you stay in the village. We don't have a family where the eldest brother can stay at home comfortably while the younger brother has to go out."

Actually, what Wang Chuanfu was thinking was that his two sons, the eldest of whom was about to be introduced to a potential partner, might be able to get married by the end of the year if all went well.

Sanlang has also become a son, and after two more years of raising him, he can get married. Even if something happens to him outside, it won't be considered that there is no one to carry on the family line.

But the fourth brother is different. Although he has an Ayu, the family line is now passed down through sons. The fourth branch of the family has not yet had a son, so it would be inappropriate for him to go out like this.

What would my fourth brother and sister-in-law do if something happened to them outside?
Wang Chuanman hadn't thought that far ahead at all: "Brother, I'm a better swimmer than you, and I know the way better than you. I'm afraid no one else is suitable for this job except me."

Another point is that Wang Chuanman believed that as long as he was closer to his younger sister, he should be able to sense her.

The other three older brothers definitely couldn't do it.

Wang Chuangui also said, "Finding my younger sister is the priority. It doesn't matter if I put my studies aside for now. At worst, I can take the preliminary examination again in two years."

Having not studied for many years, Wang Chuangui suddenly picked it up again and now has to prepare for the preliminary examination for the imperial examination in a year. He feels a lot of pressure.

It's better to go out and find someone.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang Chuanyuan were already busy at their shop and naturally did not participate in the discussion.

If Wang Chuanyuan knew, he would naturally want to go too.

Over the years, despite her fierce appearance, the loss of her younger sister has always been a source of pain for her. Whenever someone mentions that her family consists entirely of sons, she will sulk at home for a long time.

She also couldn't stand anyone saying that daughters were a money-losing commodity.

The sons saw it all, how could they not feel sorry for him?
When Grandma Wang raised her head, her hands supporting her knees, she resumed her expressionless demeanor.

"You don't need to go, I'll go myself." Old Mrs. Wang's gaze swept over everyone present, and her sharp expression startled them all.

It was as if the vulnerability they had just displayed was merely an illusion.

If Old Mrs. Wang was going, Old Mr. Wang would naturally go with her.

"Old woman, I'll go with you." Anyway, they're both old bones, so even if something happens to them, it doesn't matter.

The children have all grown up; they can walk their own paths from now on.

In Old Wang's eyes, no one could compare to Old Lady Wang.

"Grandma, where are you going? Can Ayu come with you?" Little Ayu looked at Grandma Wang, then at Wang Chuanman. "Dad, where are you going? Take Ayu with you, Ayu will come too, Ayu is very useful!"

The little girl's innocent and pure voice was like a pebble thrown into a mountain spring, instantly breaking the slightly heavy atmosphere in the house.

When Grandma Wang saw Xiao Ayu, her eyes immediately softened.

"Ayu, you are Grandma's lucky charm, Grandma's little lucky star, thank you so much!" Grandma Wang has nothing to be thankful for in her life, but now she is very grateful that she decided to adopt this child at first sight.

A small act of kindness brought immense blessings in return.

How many surprises did she bring to the Wang family?
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she was the Wang family's savior!

Liu, however, had been twisting the hem of her clothes with her hands. Only then did she finally muster up the courage to say, "Mother, let my husband go. I believe that my husband and sister-in-law will be blessed by heaven."

Actually, Liu didn't want Wang Chuanman to go. In such a vast sea of ​​people, with only this little bit of information, where was she supposed to go to find him?
Although we are not in a chaotic era, traveling far away is still risky and not so easy.

Wang Chuanman was deeply moved to see his wife's support.

Seeing the Wang family members so conflicted, Qin Huai glanced at Chi Jia.

Years of tacit understanding allowed Chi Jia to instantly grasp his meaning.

"Ahem!" Chi Jia coughed lightly, immediately attracting the attention of the Wang family.

In front of everyone, Chi Jia said, "It's not that complicated. I know a few people in town who are also skilled in martial arts. They are preparing to travel south by boat. Why don't we let them travel with Brother Chuanman? They can look after each other on the way."

The Wang family members' eyes lit up. Seeing that they seemed to understand, Chi Jia continued, "They've worked in the escort agency before and even helped the government catch criminals. They should have some investigative abilities, more than enough to protect themselves. Perhaps they can even help Brother Chuanman find his whereabouts—"

This was obviously fabricated. The so-called brothers were all Chi Jia's underlings, and also Qin Huai's men.

The lady also sent some people over for protection.

There are now more than a dozen people stationed in Nanhe Town to protect the town, hidden in different places. If only two or three of them are taken out, it won't have any impact.

Since things have come to this point, everyone can naturally understand that Chi Jia wants to help.

Grandma Wang didn't want to owe such a big favor, but since it concerned her youngest daughter, she couldn't worry about that.

So Chi Jia stepped forward and invited three "brothers" to go out with Wang Chuanman to search for the person.

As for what the person who is suspected to be Wang Aibao looks like.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Qin Huai took out paper and pen, and with a few strokes, the image of a young woman appeared on the paper.

Although the brushstrokes are still somewhat immature, they are smooth and pleasing to the eye.

Upon seeing the painting, Madam Feng exclaimed, "Wow, this looks just like Mother!"

Little Ayu suddenly realized, "No wonder Ayu thought that aunt looked very different, it turns out she looks just like Grandma!"

Feng married Wang Chuanfu 16 years ago. At that time, Wang Chuanfu was only in his 30s. He was a little thin because he was fleeing famine, but his integrity and temperament were undeniable.

She still clearly remembers what Grandma Wang looked like when she was young.

The young woman, on the other hand, should have been hardened by hardship, and her face should appear slightly older.

That makes perfect sense, doesn't it?
Qin Huai painted two paintings in total. He gave one to Wang Chuanman and kept the other for Old Mrs. Wang as a keepsake.

That day, they bid farewell to the Wang family and set off.

Old Mrs. Wang even took out 100 taels of silver notes and 50 taels of loose silver and gave them to Wang Chuanman.

"A poor family needs to be rich on the road. This money is for your expenses along the way. Whether you find the person or not, you must return before the Ghost Festival."

It's only the fourth day of the third lunar month now, and there are still four months until the Ghost Festival on the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month. There's plenty of time.

Just as Wang Chuanman was about to agree, he heard Old Mrs. Wang say, "Let's do it before the Dragon Boat Festival, bring them back early so the whole family can be reunited."

Wang Chuanman: "...Mother, isn't this a bit too hasty?"

Grandma Wang looked at him and asked, "Hmm?"

Wang Chuanman gripped the silver tightly and forced a smile, saying, "Son understands."

150 taels of silver could sustain an ordinary family for more than ten years.

For students traveling to the capital for the imperial examinations, a journey of half a year would be considered good if they could earn 20 taels of silver.

The expenses for the four of them on their journey weren't too much, but they certainly weren't insignificant either.

Little Ayu already knows that her father is going on a long trip, but she doesn't know how long he will be gone.

So she prepared a large gourd filled with the "miracle water" and intended to give it to Wang Chuanman.

It can be drunk when you are hungry or thirsty, and it can also be used when you are injured.

But Grandma Wang stopped her and replaced it with a small gourd, about the size of a palm, containing only a few mouthfuls.

Grandma Wang handed the gourd to Wang Chuanman and whispered to him, "The water in this gourd should never be used unless absolutely necessary."

Wang Chuanman asked, "What's inside?"

"For you, it's a cure-all, but in an emergency, you could use it as poison." Old Mrs. Wang said with a half-smile.

Wang Chuanman: ? ? ?

Is it medicine or poison?
