The sister-in-law was completely panicked, "Oh no, Xiaoman's class teacher said that no one is playing football in school today!"
After saying that, she hurriedly grabbed Sophie and asked, "Xiao Fei, what did Xiao Man tell you today? Did he say he wanted to play football? Did you hear it wrong?"
Sophie was hesitating whether to hide it for Xiao Man, but her elder brother took over the conversation, "Looking at your question, could it be that Xiao Fei made it up?"
"Just wait a little longer, it's not like this has happened before!"
By coincidence, Mother Zhao also came back from a walk at this time.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not right, she guessed something, "Xiao Man hasn't come back yet?"
The sister-in-law nodded with a sad face, "Mom, what should I do? Is it because I beat him and then ran away from home?"
As he spoke, there was a cry in his tone, "It's so late, what should I do if I meet a bad person?"
Mother Zhao thought for a moment, "Don't worry, Xiaoman is not an impolite child. He must have been delayed by something, or he played too much and forgot the time."
"In this way, Xiaodong, you drive the car, take Xiaofei with you, go to the school and have a look, and then take a look along his way from school."
"Boss, let's walk around the neighborhood. I'll ask the neighbors, and you can go to the Internet cafe and have a look."
The sister-in-law was panicking, "Mom, what about me?"
Mother Zhao comforted her, "Just stay at home and call Xiaoman's classmates to see if they know the situation."
"If Xiao Man comes back, you can inform us so that everyone won't worry."
"After half an hour, whether we find it or not, we can discuss it together when we get home!"
With Mother Zhao in charge, everyone's mood finally stabilized.
Soon, half an hour passed.
The sister-in-law did not ask about the results. Several classmates said that Xiaoman left after school.
It is said that he left with a male classmate.
The eldest brother asked, "Have you asked that classmate's parents?"
The sister-in-law nodded hurriedly, "I asked, the child's parents are divorced, and he usually lives with his grandparents."
"I also called, and the two old men said they didn't know anything about it, and he's not home yet!"
She was almost dying of anxiety, "Oh, what should I do? Has something happened?"
The eldest brother looked ugly and reprimanded, "You know what can happen if you think wildly?"
The sister-in-law suddenly blamed herself: "What I am most worried about now is whether this child has run away from home?"
"It's all my fault. I must have slapped him that morning..."
When Sophie saw that something was wrong, she didn't dare to hide it anymore, "Sister-in-law, this matter has nothing to do with you."
Everyone looked back at her.
Zhao Dong saw this and asked, "Xiao Fei, do you know anything?"
Sophie nodded.
The sister-in-law hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Xiao Fei, where is Xiao Man? Is he planning to run away from home and ask you to help hide it from me?"
"You can judge the severity of this kind of thing!"
Sophie smiled bitterly, "Sister-in-law, judging from what you said, I can definitely tell the seriousness of this kind of thing."
"Don't worry, nothing happened to Xiao Man. He just went out to play with his classmates."
With that said, she couldn't hide it anymore and briefly introduced the conversation between the two people in the car.
The eldest brother breathed a sigh of relief, "Look, I'm just telling you, the brat must have gone out to play. What could happen?"
The sister-in-law looked a little unhappy, "But it's already past nine o'clock. If you're attending a birthday party, you should be back by now!"
The eldest brother thought for a while and said, "I must have been drinking. I was afraid that you would deal with me when I got home, so I'm probably hiding somewhere."
"Well, Xiaodong, you go back and rest first. I'll go out and look for you. It's okay. Don't worry."
How can Sophie sit still? Today's matter has something to do with her.
Feeling guilty, she hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother, wait for me for a while. I'll change my clothes and let's go out and look for him together!"
The four of them went out together.
Mother Zhao stayed at home and couldn't help but say goodbye, "Old Zhao, you have to bless Xiaoman!"
