Marriage in crisis

Sure enough, just as I expected, after we waited for more than ten minutes, we saw Dabao and Erbao running back quickly.

It seemed that they did not want to enter the living room directly, but ran backwards along the corridor.

I whispered, "Stop, come in!"

Dabao paused for a moment, then stepped up and wanted to run again. This time I raised my voice louder, "Deng Yunlan, I told you to come in!"

When she heard that her name was called, she was a little frightened, so she had no choice but to walk in slowly without being invited, with a look of disgrace. Just like the leader of a beggar gang.

My eyes were full of shock, and I immediately shouted again, "Deng Haobo!"

Erbao also hid behind Dabao dejectedly, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.

I saw them covered in dirt again, and asked in an unhappy tone, "Tell me, where did they go?"

Dabao glanced at the living room with her beautiful eyes and saw that we were all there, especially her grandmother. She felt confident and said confidently, "Are we going to read a book?"

I suppressed my anger and asked angrily, "What book were you reading? Did you get covered in dirt?"

She rolled her big eyes without hesitation at all, "Just the books I dug out with Aunt Chi that day, they are all good books. My grandpa said he would like to read them when he had time, so Erbao and I went to sort them out. ! I can’t let my grandpa look dirty when he sees it!”

Dabao's words were unambiguous and quite reasonable. It seemed that they had done a lot of serious things this morning, under the guise that her grandfather wanted to see them.

There was nothing to say for a moment, but I just felt like something was wrong.

Chi Xi asked, "Have you always been in Xu Mansion?"

"Yes! I've been in the Xu Mansion all this time!" She replied confidently.

I glanced at Chi Xi, and she was also speechless.

"Deng Haobo!" I called Erbao's name and looked at him carefully.

He made a vague 'Ah' sound, and Dabao pulled him out from behind him, "What are you doing? Mom is asking you something. Tell Mom, are we in the Xu Mansion?"

As she said this, she scolded him behind him. Erbao was so scolded that he took a step forward and said, "Yes! We are in the Xu Mansion!"

"Tell the truth!" I repeated my sentence.

"It's in the Xu Mansion, mom!" Erbao said with certainty, but it could be seen that he was not as confident as Dabao.

"Your Aunt Chi went to look for you, why didn't she see you?" I looked at the two of them and asked.

"We...arranged the books, but we didn't even look at my aunt!" Dabao's attitude was still quite tough.

I thought about it for a moment, looked at them again, and relaxed my attitude, "Go and clean up and come to eat!"

When the two of them heard what I said, they immediately turned around and ran away, as if they had received amnesty, faster than a mouse.

After a while, they changed their clothes, washed their hands and faces, sat down at the dining table obediently, and ate in silence.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was very bad. Zhang Xuejuan naturally ate without force after losing her child.

My mother and I were not feeling very comfortable either. The customer had lost his child at home and was helpless as there was no place to look for it. Naturally, we felt complicated and apologetic.

I saw Sister Dabao put down her chopsticks after taking a few bites, a little absent-minded, so I asked, "Why do you eat so little? You have been working all morning, aren't you hungry?"

When the two of them heard what I said, they quickly pretended to take a few more bites.

I looked at them and asked, "You heard that Sister Nan is missing, don't you care at all?"

Zhang Xuejuan immediately looked at the two of them with questions in her eyes.

Dabao straightened up, swallowed, and glanced at Zhang Xuejuan, "Concerned! But I don't know where she went! I'm also worried."

Erbao didn't raise his head at all, and kept eating with his head down. It was obvious that he was trying to cover up.

"What are you going to do later?" I asked again.

Dabao clenched her chopsticks tightly and hesitated for a moment. Seeing that Erbao was still busy with her meal, she had no choice but to say, "We have something to do with Zhou Ziqi. Let us tell you about the drawings tomorrow!"

I looked at them calmly, stared for a while and said, "You heard about Sister Nan's disappearance. We have called the police. The police are investigating on the street. You go to Zhou's house and come back early."

I originally wanted to say that you should accompany the police to investigate various places. But seeing their expressions, I changed my mind.

You little bastard, draw a talisman with me. I want to see what kind of medicine you are selling in your gourd.
