He was betrayed at the beginning, from a cake seller to a wealthy person

Xie Er never expected that this spendthrift woman would cause such a big mess after he had been away for just a few months.

Xie Er pointed his finger at her, his chest aching with anger: "You are really incapable of achieving anything, but always cause trouble! You are so pissed off!"

Mrs. Xie felt a little guilty, and she tried to refute him with a strong face: "My brother said you were gone. You haven't been back for a month. Who knows if you..."

Xie Er laughed angrily, "I didn't even mention this when I came back. Your brother is such a piece of shit. The four of us went up the mountain together and encountered a bear. The four of us ran together, but your brother pushed me and knocked me down. If I hadn't climbed up the tree with my limp, I would have died. Those three conscienceless people didn't even dare to come back to see me, and told you that I was dead."

Mrs. Xie felt even more guilty when she heard Xie Er scolding her brother. She muttered in a low voice: "Then why haven't you contacted your family for a month..."

Xie Er sneered, "The three of them ran away and took away all the weapons and luggage. They left nothing for me. If it weren't for the heavy snow that kept the beasts from coming out, I wouldn't have been able to come back alive."

Xie Er didn't want to talk about the past anymore, so he asked his wife, "You said you threw away the money-losing item. I want to ask you, where did you throw it? Is the person still alive?"

Mrs. Xie didn't know about this either, so she called the servant who threw the child away. The servant confessed everything and said that he had thrown the child at the gate of the government office. Mrs. Xie thought he had just found a random forest to throw the child away, but she didn't expect to throw it at the gate of the government office. She was also shocked and her face turned pale.

Xie Er was also startled and asked quickly: "Then do you know if she is still alive?"

The servant replied, "I went to the gate of the government office the next day and saw that the child was no longer there. I don't know if the county magistrate picked him up or what happened."

Xie Er turned around and asked his wife, "Has anyone from the government come to our house these past two days?"

Mrs. Xie shook her head: "No!"

Xie Er still didn't quite believe it: "Really?"

Mrs. Xie raised three fingers to her head and swore, "I swear absolutely not, nothing happened in the past few days."

Xie Er frowned and sat on the chair. He stretched out his hand to stroke his beard and sighed, "It's strange."

Mrs. Xie came forward and asked, "Master, is there a problem?"

Xie Er cursed at his wife, "You spendthrift! Do you know that according to Dali law, abandoning a child is punishable by five years in prison?"

Mrs. Xie was horrified. She was a little girl who grew up in a poor family and could not read a single word. How could she know anything about the calendar law? She also didn't know that she would be sentenced for abandoning her own child.

She grew up in an environment where many girls were beaten to death by their families, and some were sold to brothels or pawned to gambling houses. It was only natural for her to want her own child to die. She never knew that abandoning a child was a crime.

Mrs. Xie's face turned pale with fear at Xie Er's words: "Then what should we do, Master?"

Seeing that his wife was frightened, Xie Er rolled his eyes at her and continued, "So I am wondering whether she is still alive or not, and what she wants to do if she is alive. If she has been frozen to death, the county magistrate should have issued a notice to ask each family to identify the body, but he has not done so now. If she is still alive, the county magistrate should have known about our family's affairs. If he wanted to handle this matter impartially, he would have sent people to arrest you long ago."

"But he didn't." Xie Er changed the subject: "There should be a chance for this matter to turn around. Either the dead girl is not dead but has not woken up yet, or she has already woken up and the county magistrate has other plans for her and does not intend to let her come back."

Mrs. Xie also used her pitiful little brain and tried to follow Xie Er's thoughts: "So what do you mean, what should we do?"

Xie Er didn't have any better ideas: "We can only wait and see. Wait and see before making a decision."

The Xie family refused to discuss the matter. Lu Wei was completely well again, and Lu Yan asked her to go out and exercise instead of staying at home all the time.

Lu Wei was dressed up as a furry ball by Lu Yan and went out for a run with He Wenjing for two days. Then it started snowing again.

I couldn't go out again. When Lu Yan wasn't editing books at home, she started to prepare food, stuffing sausages, making bacon, and drying sausages and bacon in the yard. Several puppies were naughty and jumped to get the sausages, and the two big dogs couldn't control them. Lu Yan used the method she used to deal with silver, hanging a string of sausages with a lot of chili peppers in a low place, deliberately letting them reach it.

The puppies were so spicy that they cried and started avoiding sausages from then on.

Lu Yan was still sleeping that day when she heard someone knocking on her door. It was just dawn, and Lu Yan rubbed her eyes and opened the door. Lu Sheng stood at the door with a helpless look on his face, holding a child in his arms.

Lu Yan was so frightened that she woke up from her sleepiness: "What...what's going on!"

Lu Sheng gestured in front of Lu Yan. The child looked to be just over one year old. He couldn't speak yet. He opened his eyes wide but didn't cry. "Another one..."

Lu Yan was speechless: "Is this not frozen?"

"No, I just put it down a while ago." Lu Sheng smiled bitterly: "His mother had been holding him at the gate of the government office. When she saw me coming out, she stuffed the child into my hands and then swallowed gold and committed suicide."

Lu Yan choked.

Are people nowadays sick???
