Seeing her daughter's resolute attitude, Mrs. Tong felt great grief, covered her face and cried and cursed twice, "Injustice!" She had no choice but to stop thinking about it and let her go.
Miao Cuilan and Lu Zhong were also very sad. Miao Cuilan comforted Tong Yuer by saying that she would never mention it again.
But after this trouble, Tong Yuer's heart that was still like water couldn't help but come alive again. Lu Xiaoshu's words that day kept circling in her ears and mind, agitating her heart more and more strongly. It kept her awake all night.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Lu Xiaoshu was right. Life wants to see a person and death wants to see a corpse, but obviously his body has not been found, why are you so sure that he is no longer there? Is this too unfair to him
Tong Yu'er couldn't bear such suffering, and finally couldn't help repeating the old saying, and mentioned a few words to Lu Zhong and Miao Cuilan from the sidelines.
Lu Zhong's eyes darkened, while Miao Cuilan's heart was sore, she couldn't help holding Tong Yu'er's hand and sighed: "Good Yu'er, I know you miss him, which one of us doesn't? I still have to live! Jin'er grows up day by day, just look at Jin'er! If Chuhe is really fine, it has been two years, even if he crawls, he should be home? Even if he suffers Serious injuries should heal, right? Even if you become a useless person, would it be difficult to send a letter home? Not at all!"
Miao Cuilan shook her head sadly, and persuaded with tears in her eyes: "Stop thinking about it! My sister knows your affection for him. Seeing you like this, he will definitely have a hard time in heaven! Good Yu'er, my sister promises. You, never say anything to make you leave the Miao family again, don't blame your sister, okay?"
"Sister, I didn't! I didn't blame you!" Tong Yu'er's heart turned cold in an instant, and she hurriedly shook her head.
Intellectually, she knew that what Miao Cuilan said was very reasonable, so reasonable that she wanted to refute it but found that there was nothing to refute! However, she is not reconciled, she is still not reconciled!
If you don't try it, how will you know
So, she finally gave up, left a letter entrusting her son to Miao Cuilan and his wife, and quietly left the village...
Since she left, Mrs. Tong, Mr. Tong, and Miao Cuilan and his wife were angry and anxious, and hurriedly asked people to look for her, but they didn't know how Tong Yu'er was hiding, but they couldn't find her.
Mrs. Tong regretted it a lot, cried a lot and was ill for more than a month before barely getting better. If she hadn't brought up the matter of remarriage, maybe her daughter would not have done such an extreme thing!
Until Lu Xiaoshu and Zhou Shizhi's letters came one after another, first saying that they had news about Miao Chuhe, and then that they had found Tong Yu'er, Miao Cuilan and Lu Zhong were overjoyed. Miao Cuilan even went to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha, saying that she was lucky to have such a daughter, and she was truly blessed by God!
In addition to being grateful to God, the Bodhisattva and her daughter, Miao Cuilan couldn't help feeling hopeful in her heart, hoping that the good luck would continue forever, hoping that one day she would be able to find Xiaoxue...
Lu Zhong saw that she looked towards the village entrance countless times almost every day, and every time she saw a stranger entering the village, she would get nervous, and felt both distressed and funny.
She is crazy!
Unexpectedly, as if God had heard her prayer, on this day, with the arrival of another letter, Miao Cuilan screamed, her knees gave way with joy and she almost fell to the ground.
Her poor daughter Xiaoxue was finally found too!
"Xiaoshu's child, that child is really our family's lucky star! That wild girl went out without making a sound. I don't know how worried I was. I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it—" Miao Cuilan cried while wiping her tears. Incoherent.
Lu Zhong helped her sit down and comforted her for a long time before comforting her.
Miao Cuilan had countless questions that she wanted to ask, but how could the sender know, he only knew that the Young Master and Miss Lu had rescued a girl from Nanjing, that she was Miss Lu's lost sister, and now she was returning to the Shanxi villa. Nothing else is known.
Miao Cuilan couldn't help sighing, and couldn't help complaining again: "That girl Xiao Shu is very playful, since she found her sister and aunt, why didn't she come back! She still has to wander outside, and she doesn't even think about how worried her family is! Then Come back and see if I don't give her a good lesson!"
Lu Zhong couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about! Didn't you say it in the last letter? My brother and sister are sick in bed and can't walk a long way, and Chuhe's condition needs to rest for a while. The two sisters go to accompany Wouldn't it be nice to take care of my little aunt? As long as we know they are safe, we can rest assured, right?"
"Yes, yes!" Miao Cuilan laughed through her tears and said, "As long as they are all well, they can come back anytime! This time, we must be more reliable, and nothing will happen on the way." moth..."
"With Xiaoshu here, put your heart in your belly! That girl is very clever, they will definitely go home safely!" Lu Zhong comforted Miao Cuilan, staring at the letters written by Lu Xiaoshu and Xiaoxue respectively. After looking at it, he vaguely guessed something in his heart, and then sighed to Miao Cuilan: "Over the past two years, Xiaoxue has suffered a lot and suffered a lot outside, as long as she comes back safely, she will be happy." Our daughter!"
"Of course! This child, I don't know how to get here in the past two years! She is so thin, but also so soft-hearted—" Miao Cuilan said casually, her eyes lit up suddenly, and her face changed slightly. Her husband's words made her realize that in the letters between the two sisters, she didn't mention a single word about how Xiaoxue came here in the past two years. Could it be—
Miao Cuilan only felt her chest constricted and her face turned pale.
Lu Zhong patted her on the shoulder lightly, and said softly, "She is our daughter after all."
"Yes, yes!" Miao Cuilan's voice trembled slightly, she nodded repeatedly as if she was avoiding something or forcing something, she couldn't help but raised her head to look at the messenger, and couldn't help asking: "Did Xiao Shu say anything?" , where did you find her sister Xiaoxue in Nanjing?"
The person who came to deliver the letter was Zhou Han, a confidant of Zhou Shizhi's side. Zhou Han was both excited and sad when he saw the couple took the letter. I had no choice but to wait in a respectful manner.
After finally Miao Cuilan asked him, Zhou Han hurriedly laughed and said, "This villain really doesn't know! But Miss Xiaoxue and Miss Xiaoshu look very good, talking and laughing!"
Miao Cuilan and Lu Zhong looked at each other, feeling a little relieved. They couldn't be more clear about Xiaoxue's temperament, if something irreversible happened, they would be devastated, and now they can talk and laugh with Xiaoshu with a good complexion, then things are probably not as bad as they imagined.
Of course, Xiaoshu must be responsible for this, she has always loved her sister, they all know that.
"That's good, that's good!" Miao Cuilan's expression softened obviously, and Lu Zhong was also slightly relieved.
Zhou Han hurriedly laughed and said, "Master Lu and Mrs. Lu don't worry, nothing will happen to the two girls with us! By the way, my master has a letter for the villain to hand over to a black Sir, I don't know this gentleman—"
"Mr. Wu?" Lu Zhong was not surprised, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhou Han. He couldn't figure out what Zhou Shizhi needed to ask Mr. Wu for. But it was obviously inconvenient to refuse such a request, so he said, "I'll take you there right away! Mr. Wu should be at home! I think it's getting late today, so you can stay at our house for one night before leaving tomorrow!"
Zhou Han hadn't planned to leave today, but he bowed his hands and thanked him, and followed Lu Zhong to find Mr. Wu.
Zhou Han is very good at diluting his own sense of existence. After meeting Mr. Wu, he stayed quietly in his room all the time and didn't bother the Lu family at all. Just go.
Miao Cuilan was very grateful for the news that he had brought back her daughter, she felt very sorry to see him like this, and she wanted to persuade her again, but Lu Zhong stopped her, saying that maybe this is the Zhou family's rules, so don't make things difficult for him! Miao Cuilan just gave up.
After Zhou Han left Mr. Wu's house, Mr. Wu fell into deep contemplation. The letter in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he felt mixed emotions.
There was also the flounder Bu Yao, which was so realistically presented in front of him that he was in a trance for a moment. He never dreamed that he would see this Bu Yao again in this life.
It's not that I didn't look for her back then, but after looking for her, my heart gradually became silent. Ever since he lived in seclusion in the remote Maple Leaf Village, he originally thought that his whole life would be spent in obscurity, but he never expected...
With his hands behind his back, Mr. Wu raised his head and let out a long sigh. I have to admit that he was moved by Zhou Shizhi's words, because deep down he was not a law-abiding person! What's more, there is still that beloved lover waiting for him.
Mr. Wu made up his mind, and knocked on the door of Lu's house late at night.
The two families often moved around, but Mr. Wu came back so late, but it was almost unheard of. Lu Zhong quickly welcomed him in and asked, "Mr. Wu, did something happen?"
Mr. Wu smiled slightly and said, "I have something to tell you."
"Please come to the room!" Lu Zhong raised his hand.
But Mr. Wu shook his head and said with a smile: "No need, let's talk in this courtyard!" The courtyard was empty and no one could hear what was said.
Lu Zhong was a little suspicious, but nodded and followed him to the open space in the courtyard.
"Tomorrow, I'm leaving Maple Leaf Village. If there are things in the school that I can't deal with in time, I need to ask you to help with the aftermath." Mr. Wu laughed.
Lu Zhong didn't think about anything else. He nodded and asked casually, "I wonder how long Mr. Wu will be back? If the students ask, I can explain it clearly to them."
Mr. Wu's eyes darkened a little, he smiled lightly, and said, "I won't come back. I will sort out the accounts and money tonight, and when the time comes, I should return it! Or just invite another teacher to come over." , My house is ready for people to live in."
"What did you say!" Lu Zhong's face changed drastically, and his eyes widened suddenly.
