Chapter 233 The Meat Disappeared
But what he was most worried about was that his cousins would know about this, especially those cousins' wives. There was not much affection between them, and because of the division of the brine, his mother and sister were unhappy. Sanmao really couldn't think well of them. Thinking of this, Sanmao couldn't help but frown, and secretly prayed that his cousins wouldn't know about it.
"Don't worry, we have never told anyone that Xiaocao'er owns the treasure bag. They all know nothing about it." Uncle Li said with certainty.
"Then perhaps my cousins should understand the situation to some extent. When the time is right, I will trouble my uncles to explain to them the interests involved. If they refuse to listen, if anything goes wrong, don't put the blame on my family." Sanmao prepared for a rainy day and said the ugly words in advance.
"No problem, we know what's going on and we'll definitely find time to talk to them about it." Old Man Li agreed readily.
Seeing that everything that needed to be explained had been said, Sanmao stood up and prepared to say goodbye and go home.
After Sanmao left, the elders of the Li family were still sitting in the main hall, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn. After a long silence, Mrs. Li sighed: "Alas, among Dalang's generation, there was only one girl, Xiaocao'er. What a clever and lovely girl! Moreover, she was smart and had many clever ideas. Our two families were able to start the business in the beginning, all thanks to her advice. If it weren't for her, I'm afraid we would still only be able to guard our one acre and three mu of land and barely make ends meet. How could we be in such a situation now!"
"Isn't it!" Old man Li nodded heavily, expressing his agreement with his wife's words. He frowned slightly, with a trace of worry and dissatisfaction in his eyes, and then said: "Old woman, hurry up and pack up. Let's set off for Qingshan Village tomorrow to see what happened to Xiaocao'er. Look at these people in their family. It's been so many days since the incident, and they didn't even send someone to report the news!"
My aunt at the side quickly took over the conversation and explained, "Dad, you may not have heard Sanmao clearly just now. He said that the whole family has been busy with Xiaocao these days and has no time to come here. He was able to come here today because a Taoist priest came to our house to perform a ritual and confirmed that Xiaocao was fine. Otherwise, I'm afraid he would have to wait until Xiaocao was completely cured before he would remember to send someone to tell him!"
At this time, the second aunt also echoed and said, "That's right, Dad! You know our sister is always panicking and at a loss when encountering something. In addition, Mrs. Yang is old, so my brother-in-law has to stay at home to take care of the family affairs. Moreover, Xiaocao's condition has not improved in the past few days. Damao and Simao have returned to the capital a few days ago, and Ermao is still in the military camp. There is only a young man like Sanmao left at home, so he has to be busy inside and outside!"
"Then we'll go over and take a look tomorrow. Also, keep in mind what Sanmao just said and find a chance to talk to the children in private. You don't need to tell your daughter-in-law," said Old Man Li.
"Got it, Dad."
The matter of the treasure bag at my grandparents’ home in Qili Village has come to an end.
When Sanmao hurried back to her home in Qingshan Village, she happened to meet her family who had just finished lunch. At this time, everyone was gathered in Xiaocao'er's house, chatting with her. It would be better to say that everyone was talking, or telling various interesting stories, while Xiaocao'er sat aside obediently, quietly eating the delicious minced meat porridge, and occasionally raised her head, blinking her bright eyes, listening to the words of the adults.
Although Xiaocao'er fell into the water on purpose and she was very familiar with water, the cold river water was no joke. Even Xiaocao'er, who had always been in good health, was not spared this time. She was really sick, and this was not a fake illness. Look at her originally pink and round face. In recent days, it has been as pale as paper and bloodless. Until this moment, after eating a full bowl of steaming meat porridge, Xiaocao'er finally broke out a little sweat, and her little face finally looked a little more flushed.
Qi Xingyun sat quietly on one side, listening carefully to what Old Lady Yang and Li asked the Taoist priest, while occasionally glancing at the little grass eating.
It had been a long time since he last saw this clever little girl. Now he saw that Xiaocao had grown a little taller. But he didn't know if it was due to the sudden illness, but the once round, chubby and cute face was now like a deflated ball, with all the flesh gone.
Qi Xingyun couldn't help but wonder secretly, wondering how long it would take for Xiaocao'er to recover to her former plump and tender appearance!
When Old Lady Yang saw Sanmao coming back, she immediately showed concern on her face and asked impatiently, "My child, you are finally back! Tell me quickly, have you explained the matter clearly to your grandparents?"
