Xue Ling was slightly stunned: "Ahu? Are you asking him for help?"
Cheng Tianyuan raised his chin slightly and said, "You get in the car first, and I'll take you to the market to buy steamed buns first."
Xue Ling quickly jumped into the car and sat in the cold back seat.
Cheng Tianyuan kicked off his long legs and took her to the market.
"When I passed by, Lin Cong's house was already empty. I knocked on the door, but no one answered. Then the person next door came out and asked me who I was looking for. I said I was looking for Lin Cong. The person next door said he was
He left by car last night, and his mother went to her parents' house in the countryside. Last night, she knocked on the door next door and entrusted him with the key to keep it until his mother came back to give it to her."
Xue Ling felt something was wrong when he heard this: "What kind of car is driving? Aren't the nearby buses all running?"
"It's a truck." Cheng Tianyuan found out that he was traveling by truck, and hurried to the station to find Ah Hu.
"Ahu has already changed his position in the unit to a job without pay, and is now running long distances with a group of truck drivers. He is familiar with the place, and he helped me find out immediately. He said that at midnight last night, Lin Cong took
A very young girl went north in a large truck loaded with quilts, and the final stop was the Imperial Capital."
Xue Ling felt her heart feel cold.
I have always been worried that my sister-in-law would get too close to Lin Cong and be deceived by him for sex and money. Who knows that I have been on guard again and again, but I still can't guard against it.
Cheng Tianyuan continued to explain: "Ahu said that it has been snowing recently and it is not safe to carry passengers on buses, so there are no other cars except large trucks heading north. He guessed that they might also go to Yuecheng to change trains. The train is still going
It’s open.”
Xue Ling sighed softly: "They are riding in a truck with more than a dozen big wheels, and you only have two small wheels. How can you catch up? No wonder you, my sister-in-law, has been brainwashed by Lin Cong, and it will be a matter of time before she is deceived by him.
.”
brainwashing?
Cheng Tianyuan didn't quite understand the word, but he could still understand its meaning.
"I know. Maybe it was because I chased him last night, and Lin Cong was afraid that I would continue to pester him, so he packed his luggage and left with Ah Fang overnight."
Xue Ling asked: "Have you told Brother Ahu the actual situation?"
Cheng Tianyuan gave a low "hmm" and explained: "Paper can't cover up the fire. I want Ahu to help, so I have to tell him the truth in private. I can't let him help in a unclear way, and it's difficult to grasp the appropriateness.
After hearing this, he was very angry and said that men like Lin Cong are cowards. Since he likes other girls, he should come to the house to propose marriage in a dignified manner, ask someone to act as a matchmaker, and marry the girl into the house. How can he run away with someone like this overnight! "
"He also said that he knew a lot of drivers on this line, and he would ask us quickly. He also made a low promise, saying that such a thing was related to the reputation of the little girl, and he would not say anything nonsense. I was here
I followed him around the station and only heard that the train was bound for the northern imperial capital. Ahu asked me to come back to work first and leave the rest to him."
He said in an annoyed voice: "I really can't do anything if I stay there, so I have to come back first. After get off work in the afternoon, I will go over to look for Ahu, hoping to get any news."
During the conversation, the two of them had already arrived at the market.
Xue Ling briefly told him about the hurried arrival of his parents-in-law and Chang Bo.
"She stole all the money at home, and more than 250 yuan was stolen from my drawers and cabinets. The old man was so anxious that he didn't sleep all night, so he went out with Uncle Chang in the middle of the night.
Rush this way."
Cheng Tianyuan was so angry that he punched the bicycle hard. The veins in his hand bones were exposed and his strong chest swelled.
"This brainless beast!"
Xue Ling sighed softly and advised: "Don't be angry, it's useless to be angry now. Let's buy more buns and go back first, feed the three old people and settle down, and then wait and see what news there is."
By now, it's too late. Everyone has tried their best, but they still can't stop my sister-in-law from being blind!
Xue Ling spent money and bought about twenty hot meat buns. He also bought a large pot temporarily at the market. He found hot water at a place that sold soy milk, washed it clean, and bought a pot of soy milk.
Cheng Tianyuan went to buy some meat and vegetables, and then went to the rental house.
Since the person was not here, I couldn't hide it no matter how hard I tried, so I had to explain the facts to the old man.
Cheng Muhai had a dark face, lowered his head and smoked, and didn't speak for most of the day.
Liu Ying's eyes were red and she whispered: "This bitch...how could she be so stupid! She stole so much money from the family and her sister-in-law, and how could she run away with them! She is crazy!"
Uncle Chang remained silent, gnawing the meat buns in one hand and soy milk in the other.
Xue Ling advised: "Mom, Dad, your health is important. It's better to eat something and warm up first. Maybe there will be good news in the afternoon, so don't worry yet."
After raising her daughter for fifteen years, her wings haven't grown hard yet, so she ran away with someone and took away so much money from the family. How sad the old man's heart was!
Cheng Tianyuan's cold and handsome face darkened and he lowered his head.
"Dad, Mom, it was me who didn't think much of her, and I was also wrong."
Chang Bo raised his head and said loudly: "How can I blame you! That girl's legs are long, and she wants to run out, how can you stop her? Don't you still have to go to work? It's impossible to follow her all day long!
"
Xue Ling echoed: "Yes, you have to go to work during the day and sleep at night. You can't tie her to your body. I can't blame you."
She whispered distressedly: "You went out to look for her last night. It was so cold. You froze outside for more than three hours before you came back. At five o'clock this morning, you hurried to intercept someone, and now you can't even get a mouthful of hot water.
You didn’t drink it.”
After saying this, she handed him a bowl of soy milk.
Cheng Muhai raised his head and looked at his eldest son.
"Brother Chang and Lingling are right. If she wants to run away, none of us can stop her. She always thinks that she is old and she can do whatever she wants. We don't care about her and let her suffer on her own."
Then, he took the big bun from Xue Ling's hand and started to chew it.
Liu Yingze's eyes were red and she kept wiping tears.
Cheng Muhai looked up at her and said: "Don't be sad. If a girl doesn't get admitted in college, she will have to marry sooner or later. She chose that man herself, and she even used money to favor that man, and she just followed him without saying a word.
If she runs away and we, the parents, can’t stop her, then we can only let her go. She will bear the consequences of what she has done by herself! Let’s live our lives well and that’ll be it!”
Chang Bo nodded repeatedly and swallowed the meat buns in his mouth.
"That's right! Anyway, my daughter will get married sooner or later, and you still have to rely on your son and daughter-in-law. A Yuan and the new sister-in-law are so good, you don't have to worry about having a good life. Girl Fang chose the person herself, so she can't blame others."
Xue Ling filled a bowl of soy milk and stuffed it into Liu Ying's hand.
"Mom, please drink some quickly."
Liu Ying nodded and started eating with them.
Cheng Muhai asked: "What time is it? You have to go to work, right? Ayuan, Lingling, our family has lost so much money all of a sudden, and we can't delay work anymore. It's important that you go to work first, it can't be solved by waiting anyway."
question."
Cheng Tianyuan stood up: "It's almost eight o'clock, so my wife and I will go to work first. Dad, Mom, I will be back after lunch. Uncle Chang, you can also leave after lunch. There is a stove in the kitchen, you can boil water for drinking.
