Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

"Gone? How could that be? When I was working in the fields, I saw him and a few children from the village passing by the ridge of my field and walking towards the river. I told them to be careful and not go to deep water," Tian Yong recalled.

"Have you seen Yinuo?"

"Yes!"

"Besides them, have you seen any other suspicious people passing by the riverside ridges?" Yao Qingnian saw hope.

"There were no suspicious people, but some villagers walked towards the roadside or on the ridges and went to the fields. No one at the entrance of the village paid much attention to them because I was just busy working." Tian Yong scratched his head and told them what he knew.

"Think about it carefully. Is there really nothing suspicious?"

"Not yet. Let me think about it when I get back. If there's anything I missed, I'll tell you as soon as possible."

"Okay, thank you. Sorry to bother you so late at night." Yao Qingnian took out a piece of silver and handed it to him.

"This child is missing. Anyone would be anxious. We are from the same village, and I can't help much. Don't be polite. Finding the child is more important." Tian Yong waved his hand and did not take the money.

"Take it, brother Tian Yong. If you remember anything, remember to come back and tell us." Yao Qingnian put the silver in his hand without hesitation, then drove away in the carriage.

"Oh, okay, I got it." Before Tian Yong could refuse, they had already left, so he had no choice but to accept the silver.

No one slept all night. Yao Qingnian and his wife had no news about Yinuo. They went from being calm at first to panic. Lu Huaijin hated himself for being incompetent as he couldn't even find a child. After Lu Minghai and others heard about it, they spontaneously went to look for Yinuo again. The longer they waited, the more dangerous Yinuo would be. Everyone was worried.

Yao Qingnian, with dark circles under his eyes, was ready to continue looking for someone.

"Don't go, Qingnian, you should get some sleep first! I'll go! If there's someone at home, they'll receive any news first." Lu Huaijin stopped her.

"Yes, Qingnian, you should go and have some rest. You haven't slept a wink all night." Liu Shuyue and Lu Minghai advised.

"Okay, you guys go! I'm at home!" Yao Qingnian was indeed sleepy. Although finding someone was important, she couldn't let herself fall down. She nodded, asked them to go out, and stayed at home.

Yao Qingnian took a nap on the lounge chair in the yard.

Not long after she closed her eyes, Tian Yong's voice came from outside the door: "Lu family, is anyone there?"

"I'm here, Brother Tian Yong."

"Wife Huai Jin, I couldn't sleep after I went back home last night. I thought about what happened during the day and then I remembered something was wrong, so I rushed back early in the morning." Tian Yong said seriously.

"What's wrong?" Yao Qingnian asked with interest.

"I saw Zhou Peng from the Zhou family passing by the ridge of a field. Her family doesn't have any fields over there, so why was he going there? We are from the same village. I didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but now I think about it, she is the most suspicious. I don't know if I am overthinking it. Not long after she passed by, someone from my wife's family sent a message saying that my mother-in-law had fallen. So I hurried back with my wife, and I don't know what happened afterwards." Tian Yong pointed out the suspicious things he thought.

"Zhou's? Okay, I see. Thank you, Brother Tian Yong, for taking the trouble to come here."

"It's okay. I'll go and help look for the child to see if he has run into the mountains." Tian Yong said and left.

After Tian Yong left, Yao Qingnian hurried to find Lu Huaijin, and asked the villagers who had gone to the fields today. Indeed, many people had seen Zhou Peng. When he went there, he had nothing in his hands and walked into the mountains. Not long after entering the mountains, he came out carrying a sack. The villagers thought it was the prey he had hunted, but now thinking about it, it is very suspicious.

Goudan also said that when they went out, he always felt someone was following them. When he turned around, he saw Zhou Lei. No children in the village were willing to play with him. After he was beaten last time, he did not come out to cause trouble and stayed at home obediently. Everyone almost forgot about him and thought that he was scared by Yao Qingnian.

This means that Yinuo was most likely taken away by Zhou Peng. Yao Qingnian led his men to Zhou's house and kicked the door open.

"Mr. Lu, why are you crazy in broad daylight? Be careful or I'll sue you for trespassing!" Mrs. Zhou ran out of the house when she heard the noise, and asked angrily when she saw Yao Qingnian and his men breaking in.

"Hand over Zhou Peng and Zhou Lei to me!" There was no warmth in Yao Qingnian's words.

"Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you! Get out of my house!" Xie Cailian stood next to Old Lady Zhou.

"Zhou Peng captured my son. If you don't want to die, you'd better tell me where he took him."

"What does your son's disappearance have to do with my Zhou Peng? I let you beat me and my grandson, now you're getting your retribution! You deserve it!" Old Mrs. Zhou said gloatingly.

"It's best if that little bastard dies! Hahaha! I told you a long time ago that if you offend me, my father will not let you go, humph!" Zhou Lei came out of the house laughing.

"Little ancestor, shut up! Go back!" Xie Cai quickly covered his mouth.

"Let me go! Useless woman, what are you afraid of? If they dare to touch me again, my father will kill them for me!" Zhou Lei didn't look like a child at all. He looked extremely fierce and pushed Xie Cailian away with disgust.

"Lei'er!" Xie Cailian was treated like this but she still greeted Zhou Lei with a smile, looking at her son with eyes full of doting, as if she had already gotten used to it and felt that her son was very manly like this.

"Why are you shouting? If you are afraid, just go back to the house. It's useless. My dear grandson didn't say anything wrong! Why are they so arrogant? Her son's life or death has nothing to do with us! People from the Lu family, get out of here right now. I don't have time to pay attention to you. You'd better know what's good for you while my son is still here!" Old lady Zhou put her hands on her hips, looking like she was not afraid of anything.

"You won't say it, right?"

"What are you talking about? Your little bastard is missing, so go look for him yourself. Why are you coming to our house to look for him? You just say that my Zhou Peng caught him, so why don't you show us the evidence?" Mrs. Zhou looked very proud.

"Zhou family, someone saw your Zhou Peng going over there, carrying a sack. Who else could it be but Yinuo? You better hand him over quickly!"

"Our village took you in out of kindness, and you're not grateful enough. You've committed petty thefts and now you're even trafficking children, right? Hand them over!"

"Listen to what Zhou Lei said just now, it's obvious that Zhou Peng kidnapped the person!"

"Hand the people over!"

"Get them out!"
