The daughters-in-law may be wishing that their youngest son would never come back. Then all the family money would be spent on their men or children. How could they continue to put down their work and look for him?
In particular, the reason why the Zhao family's youngest son ran away from home this time was because he wanted to buy a bicycle.
The resentment of these daughters-in-law is deep. Only one of Mr. Liu and his wife has a job, and he is a boiler burner, with only a small salary every month.
In their minds, the money currently saved in the family was handed over by the men in their family. Why should they be frugal and save the money they had worked so hard to spend, but their brother-in-law just spent it like this.
In their opinion, the brother-in-law was probably hiding with a friend this time, and the reason he didn't come back was to threaten the family into buying him a bicycle.
No matter what time of year it was, my family didn’t even have enough to eat, and yet I was still thinking about buying a bicycle.
According to them, this is what the parents-in-law are used to, and a beating will be enough.
Old Man Liu knew this very well, so after noticing that the attitudes of his sons had changed under the constant influence of his daughters-in-law, he immediately gave up the idea of asking his daughters-in-law to take leave to continue looking for his younger son.
.
At this time, he didn't care about making any family scandal public, so he went directly to a few people in the courtyard who he could talk to for help.
Zhang Guifang and the others knew a little bit about the things the Liu family's youngest son did, but because the Liu family's youngest son was a bully, he was a little bully at home, relying on his parents' preference to bully this one and bully that one.
But I haven't heard of anyone outside that he has offended.
So how can I put it, although they don't really like the Liu family's youngest son, they don't dislike him yet.
After all, if your parents are willing to pamper you, what does it have to do with you?
Therefore, in response to Old Man Liu's plea, several people who could speak in the courtyard gathered together to discuss what to do.
The most important thing now is to get the child back first.
Uncle Zhao took a puff of the cigarette in his hand, coughed, and attracted everyone's attention to himself.
He said to the Liu couple: "Old Liu, you two think about it again, think carefully, does your little son have any other friends?"
Old Man Liu frowned and sighed, "Brother Zhao, you also know that my son is a troubled person. Even though he behaves like five or six people at home, he really hasn't made any friends outside."
"Yes, yes, the child has been complaining at home some time ago that he can't make friends." Old man Liu's wife heard her man say that her youngest son was a bastard, and couldn't help but glare at him. How could she say that to him?
Where is the son?
The younger son just hasn't grown up yet, he will be sensible when he grows up.
Among the sons, the youngest one is the most filial, right? Even if he eats an egg, he will not forget to leave half of it for her, the mother-in-law.
Although she was reluctant to eat it, her little son's actions warmed her heart every time.
Although the woman thinks this way, she still agrees with the second half of her man's sentence.
"Then as you said, I've searched all over the place and searched the school, but I can't find anyone."
Uncle Zhao frowned, took a deep breath from the cigarette in his hand, stared at the couple again and asked: "Think about it again, whether the child has made other friends, you two usually don't pay attention."
"This this……"
After listening to Uncle Zhao's words, he saw the approving looks of others around him. The couple looked at me and I looked at you, both trying to recall whether they had overlooked something. Did the younger son really make friends that he didn't know about?
After a long while, the woman shook her head firmly, "I really can't remember what kind of friends this kid has made. You all know that this kid is getting older year by year and has his own ideas. I can't follow him.
She takes care of a little baby like she even has to make friends with him."
As he spoke, he hit the man next to him hard and complained: "It's all your fault. If your younger son wants a bicycle, he won't buy it if you don't. Why are you scolding him?"
The more the woman talked, the angrier she became, and the more she talked, the more she felt that her little son had been greatly wronged this time.
At the end of the sentence, she pointed her finger at her man's nose and said, "Old man Liu, let me tell you, if your son is not found back today, I will never be done with you."
"Why are you blaming me again for this matter? Besides, you also know the situation of our family. The child agreed to buy him a bicycle when he made a fuss. What do you want the boss and others to think?" Old Man Liu was also a little aggrieved by this. Didn't he?
Are you willing to follow your younger son's wishes? But doesn't the old lady know that all the money in the family is contributed by her other sons? If she buys a bicycle for her younger son for no reason, those daughters-in-law will make a big fuss.
"I don't care, I don't care. Anyway, if you can't find your son today, I won't fight with you." The woman didn't listen to her man's explanation.
"Okay, let's wait until the child is found. What's the use of arguing now? If we have the time, we might as well go out and find the child."
Looking at the two people, Uncle Zhao directly put out the cigarette butt in his hand, frowned and scolded.
And Zhang Guifang also intervened at the right time, "You two, please stop quarreling now. It's more important to find your children first..."
After comforting the chaotic couple, Zhang Guifang turned her attention to Uncle Zhao and Mrs. Sun.
"While it's still dark, I quickly went to the street office to ask if anyone has seen the child, and then mobilized the masses to follow him to find him."
"Okay, I'll leave it to Guifang to trouble you on the other side of the street. I'll also mobilize the residents in the courtyard to look for it together."
Zhang Guifang and Uncle Zhao settled the matter with just one word.
Uncle Zhao glanced at Zhang Yu again before leaving, "Xiaoyu, you are about the same age as that child. You should know what children of this age are thinking. Think about whether there is a place near us that is good for children of this age."
To be honest, Uncle Zhao's words really confused Zhang Yu.
Even though he is usually a bit childish due to the influence of his body, he still has the soul of an adult, and he really can't play with his peers.
But being stared at by a room full of people with hopeful eyes, Zhang Yu suddenly remembered something.
If there is a place nearby that can hide people, there really is one.
Although he has never been there, he has heard from his classmates that when they were ignorant a few years ago, they would climb other people's walls every day to play table tennis in the courtyard.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yu asked several people in the room: "Uncle Zhao, do you know the house that the Xu family has vacated?"
