Xiao Jinbao beside her asked anxiously: "What happened to Brother Five?"
The old woman let out a surprised "Yeah" and said, "Don't you know? Xiao Wu is missing. Everyone in your family has been looking for him all day yesterday, but no one was found. I thought you were doing it for him."
I came back specially because of the matter."
When I heard that Xiao Wu was missing, Bai Lu's face turned completely white, as if he had been struck by lightning.
She was frozen there, completely lost in thought. Her daughter asked: "Are my grandma and several brothers at home at the moment?"
"It seems that he went out early in the morning. I guess there is no one in your house right now... Hey, that kid Xiao Wu is also naughty. He pushed Secretary Zhao's son into the river two days ago. Fortunately, the adults nearby jumped in in time.
If you save someone, you can save a life."
"You said that the fifth brother pushed Uncle Zhao's son into the river?" Jin Bao frowned tightly.
If I remember correctly, this Secretary Zhao is the workshop secretary.
He and his father have no contact on weekdays, but they used to visit each other during the New Year.
Seeing the old man nodding, Jin Bao quickly asked, "Is Uncle Zhao making things difficult for the fifth brother?"
"No," the old woman waved her hand hurriedly, "Secretary Zhao is a very good person. He just verbally criticized and educated your fifth brother. Afterwards, your grandma sent a few eggs to his house, but he also confiscated them."
Jinbao couldn't figure it out. It sounded like it was just a trivial matter. How could the fifth brother run away from home?
Just when she was confused, a familiar "Mom" sounded not far away, "Grandma, look, mom is back, and Jinbao... Mom and Jinbao are back! Great!"
, we all search together, we will definitely find Xiao Wu!"
The person who spoke was Su Xiaosi. In just over a year, he had grown much taller and looked to be at least over 1.65 meters tall.
In addition to the change in height, his face has lost its previous tenderness and roundness, and his facial lines have become stronger and smoother. With his delicate facial features that are gradually elongating, he is now a sunny and handsome young boy.
If Bai Lu hadn't known about Xiao Wu's disappearance, she would have been very happy to see the change in Xiao Si's appearance. She felt that this little guy who had always been around her and acted coquettishly since childhood was a bit of an adult, but now...
"Mom, what happened? Why did Xiao Wu disappear when he was fine?" Bai Lu walked forward anxiously and asked her mother-in-law.
The tears in Li Xiu'e's eyes couldn't stop falling, "Daughter-in-law of Jianmin, Mom is sorry for you, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, I made Xiao Wu Qi run away, if Xiao Wu has any shortcomings, I will
This old bone is no longer alive."
Lin Yulan supported her on the side, "Grandma Li, don't say that. How could it be your fault? I can't blame you..."
She said "ouch" and said to Bai Lu hurriedly: "Lulu, don't ask anymore, let's help your mother-in-law up first? She hasn't eaten for two days. She spent the whole day looking for Xiao Wu yesterday, and she went to see Xiao Wu again early this morning.
Go find it, at such an old age, your body is really unable to bear it."
Although Bai Lu was extremely worried about Xiao Wu, seeing that her mother-in-law was about to faint at any moment now, she was worried that something might happen to her, so she and Lin Yulan hurriedly helped the old man go upstairs, followed by the two children Xiaosi and Jinbao.
"Where is the fourth brother and the third brother?" Jin Bao asked.
"He and his cousin are still looking for someone." Su Xiaosi held her mother's luggage in her hands.
Approaching Jin Bao, he whispered: "Grandma was dizzy when she was looking for Xiao Wu. Suddenly she squatted on the ground and couldn't move, and almost fell over. So Aunt Lin and I helped grandma back first, otherwise we
I’m still looking for Xiao Wu now.”
"Why did the fifth brother suddenly run away from home?" Jinbao asked doubtfully, "Why did grandma say it was her fault just now?"
When she asked, everyone had already returned home, and Su Xiaosi put their luggage on the ground.
After looking at grandma for a while, he said: "That day..."
"Hey, let me do the talking." Li Xiu'e let out a long sigh.
She told Bai Lu and Jin Bao that Xiao Wu pushed Secretary Zhao's son upstairs into the river.
"Old Mrs. Sun told me about this downstairs," Bai Lu said anxiously, "Although Xiao Wu is a little naughty, he's not that bad, right? How could he push someone into the river for no reason?"
"I thought so too, so I kept asking him, but he just didn't say anything."
Speaking of this, Li Xiu'e, who was sitting on the chair, couldn't help but stamp her feet, "It's my fault too. I was anxious at the time. Seeing how generous Secretary Zhao was, I didn't blame him much. He didn't say a word, so I didn't blame him.
To apologize, I just... scolded him a few times."
Guessing that the fifth brother ran away from home must have something to do with grandma scolding him, Jinbao asked: "Grandma, why did you scold the fifth brother?"
Recalling what she had scolded Xiao Wu before, Li Xiu'e's face was full of regret, "I said he was a troublemaker and would get into trouble since he was a child. No one would like him with his personality. In order to let him know his mistakes, I
Say...say..."
After struggling for a while, she finally said: "Hey, I said, just because he was the naughtiest since he was a child, that's why he was sent to the countryside.
In the countryside, he always got into trouble and caused trouble, causing his grandfather to apologize to everyone everywhere, which made his grandfather dislike him very much. Now in the city, if he doesn't change his temper, not only his grandfather, but also his parents, Jinbao...
Everyone will hate him."
"Oh, Mom, how could you say that? You clearly know that Xiao Wu cares about this the most! When he first came back, he ignored me and didn't talk to me for a long time because he thought I hated him.
I just sent him away."
Hearing the reproach in Bai Lu's tone, Li Xiu'e's eyes immediately turned red again.
"I thought Xiao Wu was old, so I just said that casually. Who would have thought that he would take advantage of us all sleeping at night and leave without saying a word...
Hey, it's all my fault, it's my fault...
Why was I so mean-mouthed back then?
Seriously, why are you saying those words?"
The more she spoke, the more she regretted it. She hit herself hard on the mouth and called herself a "slut."
Seeing that grandma's face was filled with self-blame and regret, and she raised her hand to hit herself again, Jinbao anxiously took her hand.
"Grandma, I don't think I can blame you. You are old and it is already hard work to take care of several brothers. When the fifth brother suddenly caused something like that, and your parents were not around, you must have been worried at the time.
Uncle Zhao's son didn't get into trouble this time. That's good luck. If something happens next time, the fifth brother will become a murderer...
Although what you said is a bit inappropriate, the reason why you said that to Fifth Brother was to stimulate him and make him change his temper to prevent him from making mistakes again. Who would have thought that he would leave home and disappear?"
The little girl spoke clearly and clearly, which made Lin Yulan on the side dumbfounded. She felt that these words were what she was thinking, but she couldn't say them out. She didn't expect Jinbao to say them out easily.
