“Mr. Cheng, why are you here?” Xia Wan naturally recognized Cheng Mu.
As soon as Cheng Mu saw Xia Wan, he was surprised as well. “Oh, isn’t this Wanwan! What brings you back here?
“I thought your family had made a fortune and would never return to settle in our poor village again!”
Cheng Mu’s words were said with a hint of disdain, obviously envious of Xia Wan’s family’s sudden wealth.
Xia Wan, ignoring Cheng Mu’s attitude, asked anxiously. “Mr. Cheng, do you know where my uncle and his family have gone?”
“Hmph! You’re looking for him! I’m looking for him too!” Cheng Mu was visibly annoyed when mentioning Xia Jiang.
“He promised to pay back the money in three days, and now three more days have passed. The money hasn’t been returned, and they’ve disappeared too!
“I think they’ve run away!”
Xia Wan was momentarily dazed by Cheng Mu’s words.
If Xia Jiang and his family really had run away, where would she find any leads?
Chen MO, calmer than Xia Wan, asked, “Mr. Cheng, you just said you saw cars at the door yesterday. What was that about?”
Wanwan! I’ve heard the villagers say, you’re no good either!”
Despite his low opinion of Chen MO, Cheng Mu didn’t hesitate to answer his question.
“Last night, several people saw two cars parked outside Xia Jiang’s house.
“They said several people were coming and going from the Xia house.
“If I hadn’t won a few rounds at the card table yesterday and didn’t want to ruin my luck at the Xia house, I would never have let that couple escape!” Cheng Mu spoke angrily, regretting his momentary carelessness.
“Mr. Cheng, do you know who came to my uncle’s house yesterday?” Xia Wan asked urgently, “What did they say? Where did they go?”
Cheng Mu didn’t know how to answer Xia Wan’s rapid-fire questions: “I didn’t see it myself, how would I know…”
Chen MO, gently holding Xia Wan’s hand, said to Cheng Mu, “Who told you about people coming and going from the Xia house yesterday? Could you take us to ask them?”
Cheng Mu seemed to realize something, stepping back and looking at Chen MO and Xia Wan. “What are you two doing here? Why are you asking such strange questions?”
“You don’t mean…” Cheng Mu paused, then continued, “They don’t owe you money too, do they?”
“Mr. Cheng, it’s not like that!” Xia Wan carefully explained, “My parents said they haven’t seen my uncle and aunt for some days, so they asked us to come over and check, maybe bring them back to catch up.”
Cheng Mu still looked skeptical but finally said, “1 also heard it from Old Zhao at the village entrance. You’re relatives; you should know more about their situation!”
Xia Wan, without hesitation, thanked Cheng Mu and pulled Chen MO towards Old Zhao’s house.
The roads in the village were originally muddy, but Xia Hai had recently had them renovated, making it less of a torture to drive on.
When the car stopped at Old Zhao’s house, Zhao’s daughter-in-law was fiddling with a wooden box in the yard.
“Sister-in-law, is Mr. Zhao home?” Xia Wan asked from outside the yard.
Zhao’s daughter-in-law, a woman from outside the village with a reserved personality, didn’t have many friends in the village.
Xia Wan didn’t have much contact with her, only knowing that her family was poor and she was almost sold into the Zhao family to serve a large household.
Zhang Ru looked out in response to the voice: “Xia Wan? What brings you here?”
“Sister-in-law, I’m looking for Mr. Zhao to ask about my uncle’s family,” Xia Wan stated her purpose directly. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝒘𝙚𝓫𝒏𝙤𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎
“My dad’s not home right now, come in!” Zhang Ru opened the gate for them and led them inside.
Just then, Chen MO’s phone rang. He gestured to Xia Wan and stepped out to take the call.
Zhang Ru curiously watched Chen MO take out his phone and press it to his ear, watching for a while before turning her gaze back.
“Sister-in-law, do you know what happened at my uncle’s house yesterday?” Xia Wan glanced at the wooden box and asked.
Zhang Ru thought for a moment, then said, “Last night, my parents-in-law mentioned it. It seemed there were two cars parked outside your uncle’s house, and several people came.
“They stayed for about five or six hours before leaving.
“As for anything else, I’m not sure..”
