40: Zero Yuan Purchase, a Big Bang

Upon hearing this, Mr. Wei replied, "I'm at home. I'll arrange for them to search inside and outside the villa."

"Zi Yang, you need to go and come back quickly. Curfew is almost here. Don't be late. It could be fatal! The same goes for those two girls. Why didn't they go to school? Where did they go? Aren't they just causing more trouble?"

What responded to her was Wei Ziyang’s departing back.

In the yard outside the city, after Wei Xiaoqing and Wei Xiaorou filled their stomachs, they returned to the room Xiaoxia had taken them to before, which was also the room they had climbed out of through the window.

He let Wei Xiaorou climb in through the window, opened the door, put his sleeping brother on the bed, and also put down the backpack filled with their offline belongings.

The two sisters took a look at the room, which should have been cleaned up by Xiaoxia and the others, so they decided to sleep in this room tonight.

As for the room next door, they decided to leave it as it was. After all, the people in the Wei family knew what was going on there. If they came back suddenly and found the delivery room cleaned up, they would definitely become suspicious and start an investigation. If they were discovered, they would be in big trouble.

As for the food disappearing from the kitchen, that’s understandable. After all, if someone sneaked in and saw so much food, it would be strange if they didn’t take it away!

Aren’t those people who sneaked in just to steal things?

Seeing that it was getting late and the younger brother had fallen asleep, the two sisters went to the kitchen to wash and plate the meat and vegetables on the table.

Wei Xiaoqing held the knife and clumsily cut the meat. The piece of meat she cut was of different sizes and in weird shapes.

"Sister, can you? We... won't burn down the kitchen, right?" Wei Xiaorou asked uncertainly.

At this moment, the two sisters were standing in front of the stove, their eyes wandering among the various kitchen utensils placed on the stove. These things in front of them were all unfamiliar to them. Could they control them?

Wei Xiaoqing raised her hand and tapped Wei Xiaorou's forehead. "Xiaorou, in our current situation, if we want to fill our stomachs, we have to do it ourselves. Doesn't the book say that as long as you work hard, you can grind an iron pillar into a needle? As long as we work hard, nothing is impossible!!"

As she spoke, Wei Xiaoqing had already started to work. She picked up the wood from the corner and stuffed it carefully into the stove. She picked up the match beside her and struck it lightly. Flames danced before her eyes.

Wei Xiaoqing threw the lit fire into the stove. As time went by, the reality was completely different from what they had imagined. The fire could not burn at all in the stove. After flickering a few times, the flame went out, and green smoke came out of the stove.

Seeing this, Wei Xiaoqing was very unwilling. She didn't believe that she couldn't light a fire, so she quickly picked up the matches in her hand and tried one by one. Wisps of smoke emanated from the stove, choking the two sisters and making them cough continuously. The kitchen was also shrouded in smoke.

Beads of sweat had already appeared on Wei Xiaoqing's forehead, and she kept raising her hand to wipe them.

"Hey, why is it so difficult to light a fire?" Wei Xiaorou couldn't help but complain.

After hearing this, Wei Xiaoqing turned around and looked at her sister. She was about to speak, but when she saw the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, you..."

"Hahaha, you..."

The two sisters raised their fingers and pointed at each other at the same time, laughing so hard that they fell forward and backward, looking at each other's cheeks stained by soot. The laughter echoed in the kitchen, temporarily dispelling the frustration of not being able to light a fire for a long time.

After the two sisters calmed down, they simply tidied their faces and threw themselves into the task of starting the fire.

……

In the living room of the Wei family, Grandpa Wei had already instructed everyone in the Wei family to search inside and outside the villa, but they did not find Wei Xiaoqing and her sister. It was already dark at this time, and they were anxiously gathered in the living room, waiting for Wei Ziyang to come back.

How afraid they were that Wei Ziyang would be delayed and trapped outside, staying outside during curfew and being caught by the little puppet, then...

Fortunately, Wei Ziyang returned before curfew. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Wei Ziyang returning.

When Wei Ziyang came back, he sat on the sofa beside him, his face full of worry. "I went to the school to look for them, but I didn't see them. Where did they go?"

Old Master Wei frowned, thought for a moment, and then slowly said, "It's curfew outside now, and you can't go out to look for them. You can use this time to think about where they usually go? Or who they are close to. When the day breaks and the curfew is lifted, go out and look for them."

Liu Ruyan approached Wei Ziyang virtuously and said softly, "Ziyang, don't worry too much. Xiaoqing and Xiaorou are not young anymore, and they are smart kids. They can definitely take care of themselves. You are in such a hurry. You must be thirsty! Have some tea to moisten your mouth, and then think about where they will go." As she spoke, she handed over a cup of warm tea.

Wei Ziyang felt very relieved when he heard what Liu Ruyan said. He took the teacup, took a few sips, and after drinking the cup of tea, he felt that his inner anxiety was greatly relieved by the tea.

"Those two children were born to Fang Wenjuan. Could they have been taken away by the little puppet?" At this time, Old Madam Wei blurted out this sentence.

As soon as these words were spoken, the living room suddenly became quiet and everyone turned their eyes to Madam Wei.

"Why are you looking at me like that? I didn't say anything wrong. Fang Wenjuan was captured by the little puppet. The child she gave birth to would also have the blood of the Fang family. Didn't you see that they even captured a newborn baby? Not to mention Xiao Jing and Xiao Rou!"

Although what Madam Wei said was unpleasant, she did make sense. Mr. Wei remained silent, his face looking very ugly.

Wei Ziyang's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and a few drops of tea spilled onto his hand. He said uncertainly, "This...is impossible!" His tone was uncertain.

"It's getting late now. Let's do this. Tomorrow morning you take people to look for the two sisters in the city. But remember not to make too much noise. And Ruyan, when you go to visit that person tomorrow, you can also find out about the two children and see if they are in their hands. If you have no objection, then everyone can go!"

"Ruyan, I'll trouble you tomorrow." Wei Ziyang said while holding Liu Ruyan's hand.

"Don't worry, Xiaoqing and Xiaorou are your children, and they are also my children. I will take their affairs to heart."
