The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady

..” Qin-shi leaned on the top of the heated-brick bed, and the handkerchief covering her face in her hands was soaked with tears long ago and soaked thoroughly.

Shu Maoting didn’t have the energy to persuade his wife anymore.
He thought about the places his daughter usually went to over and over again.
Suddenly his heart moved, “My child mother, do you think Ah Lan will run to her grandmother’s house?”

Qin-shi suddenly raised her head, her eyes were full of hope, but they dimmed in an instant: “She is so young, even if she wants to go, she doesn’t know the way!”

However, Shu Maoting stood up, tidied up his clothes, and said to Qin-shi, “No, I have to go to the town to see.
If Ah Lan is not there, we can’t keep worrying in vain.
It’s right to report to the officials.” Even if the child’s reputation would be bad, it was better than being kidnapped by traffickers and never seeing each other again.

“You’re right, I’ll go with you too.
I can’t stand waiting at home all the time.” Qin-shi wiped her eyes, got up, and said.

Shu Wan, who was next to her, immediately held Qin-shi’s hand tightly, “Mother, I’ll go too.”

Shu Maoting thought for a while.
He didn’t feel relieved to leave Shu Wan at home alone, so he looked at Xiao Shouwang.

“Okay, you all go, I’ll watch here for you so that when Ah Lan comes back she can find someone.” Xiao Shouwang said.

Shu Maoting cupped his hands to him and led his wife and daughter away.
The village head had an ox cart at home, so he had to think of a reason to borrow it.

******

Unexpectedly, as soon as their ox cart stopped at the door of Qin’s house, they saw father Qin, Qin Ruhai, leading his two sons out, accompanied by a strange servant.

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law, Qin Ruhai’s thick black eyebrows instantly twisted into an upside-down shape and reprimanded Qin-shi in a low voice: “What kind of mother are you and forced Ah Lan to run away from home! Fortunately, she met Master Cheng.
He kindly took her back and also sent someone to inform me.
Otherwise, if she encounters the black-hearted beggar and kidnaps Ah Lan silently, you just wait to die of regret!”

Hearing the news of her daughter, Qin-shi was overwhelmed with surprise.
She didn’t care about her father’s reprimand.
If Shu Maoting hadn’t stopped her quickly, she would have grabbed Wei Da’s hand: “Really? Ah Lan is at your house?”

When Wei Da saw Qin-shi’s eyes were red and puffy, his heart was very sympathetic, so he quickly said: “Yes, when my master met the young lady, she was crying by the roadside and said that her mother didn’t want her anymore, so my master couldn’t bear to leave her alone fearing that something might happen to her, so he brought her back to the residence first.
He wanted to inquire about the young lady’s parents, but she insisted.
Later, a little brother came in and we found out the details of your house.”

“It must be Ah Lang, take me there quickly!” Qin-shi muttered to herself, and then urged excitedly.

Wei Da responded and asked a few of them to get into the spacious carriage of the Cheng family.
