On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle
Chapter 67 Disappeared into thin air
When Mr. Chen walked out, he saw his son breathing slightly and his face was pale, obviously he had come in a hurry!
He frowned in displeasure and scolded: "Why are you so anxious so early in the morning? Look at you now, you don't seem calm at all, at least..."
Chen Yunyou interrupted his father's endless scolding and said, "Dad, all the animals on the mountain have disappeared. Do you want to go and check?"
Mr. Chen, who had been sitting calmly, suddenly stood up from his chair and asked in a higher voice, "What did you say?"
The Liu family, who were just separated by a wall, couldn't just stay out of it!
She flashed into the main room and asked angrily, "What happened? Wasn't everything fine yesterday? What do you mean it disappeared?"
Chen Yunyou lowered his eyelids and said calmly, "When Xile and I came back yesterday, everything was fine. We went to feed the animals this morning, and when we got there, we found that all the animals in the pen were gone!"
When Liu heard this, she felt dizzy and her body began to sway. If the maid who was serving beside her had not quickly caught her, she would have fallen to the ground!
These are all her family property. She said anxiously, "Go find it, find it for me quickly!"
Old Master Chen's face also became gloomy, no longer as relaxed as before!
He ordered sternly, "Call all the servants in the house, and go to the farm to call the tenants and farmhands, and go find them all!"
The couple couldn't sit still any longer, so they went out and down the mountain.
Chen Yunyou followed closely behind the two of them.
Along the way, Liu even held on to a fluke mentality, imagining that maybe Song Xile was being lazy and causing trouble!
When she saw the empty enclosure, she was shocked. The empty enclosure was so bright in front of her that she felt so anxious that she wanted to spit out blood!
Looking at the missing livestock, Liu angrily questioned Song Xile: "Where are the livestock in the pen? Is this how you take care of them?"
At this moment, Song Xile's mentality was as steady as an old dog, but he said timidly: "My wife doesn't know either. There was nothing missing when we fed them last night. We only found out that it was missing when we came to feed them just now."
The meaning is very clear. We were all fine before we left, but the animals were gone after one night. If you want to ask, go ask the person guarding this place.
As for why we haven’t met, don’t ask me, I don’t know!
Liu choked.
Old Master Chen, however, had a dark face and shouted to his servants, "Where is the person guarding this place? Where did he go?"
Soon the servants brought over Ma Pozi and her family, who had disheveled hair and untidy clothes.
Looking at them as if they were a family who had just been pulled out of sleep, Mr. Chen felt the nameless anger in his heart rushing to his head.
Old Master Chen suppressed his anger and said to Liu sarcastically, "Is this the person you replaced?"
Liu was extremely annoyed when she saw the family kneeling on the ground like a puddle of mud.
She walked forward angrily and kicked Ma Pozi who kept begging for mercy.
The kick was not light and it knocked Ma Po back.
"Damn you, is this how you work? If you don't get these animals back today, I will skin you alive!"
Mrs. Ma, who had just been pulled out of bed, had no idea what she had done wrong. It was not until this moment that she realized that her livestock was lost!
She was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was shaking all over. She banged her head on the ground, making loud bangs. She cried and begged for mercy, "Madam, you are wronged. We guarded the door well last night. How could these animals disappear?"
She rolled her eyes around a few times and pointed at Song Xile in the crowd and said, "It must be her, the old lady. She is the one who did it."
After hearing Ma Pozi's accusation, Chen Yunyou immediately stood in front of his wife and defended her, saying, "I went back with Xile last night, and I came with her again today. What can she do?"
"How can you just throw away so many animals?"
"As the woman on duty here, you don't think about the past and find a way to find the lost livestock. Instead, you want to blame others and shirk your responsibilities. I think you are the one who has something to hide!"
"Chen Ying has been on duty here for so long, how could he have lost any livestock? How come you have only been here for one day and there is such a big mistake? How do we know it wasn't stolen by you?"
Mrs. Ma was blocked by Chen Yunyou's words and had no way to refute. Seeing that she could not implicate Song Xile, she turned her blame to Chen Ying.
She continued to evade the question, "Master, please understand. We are long-term workers who have signed a contract with the family. How could we do such a thing as betraying the master? I think Chen Ying was resentful and angry that the master drove him away, so he sneaked in here last night and did this!"
At this time, all the farmhands and tenants in the family were called over, and Chen Ying, as the tenant of the family, was also called over.
As soon as Chen Ying stood still, he was splashed with a basin of dirty water. How could he bear it? He immediately started arguing with Mrs. Ma!
"Mrs. Ma, please stop slandering people for no reason!"
"How did I slander you? Who on this mountain is as familiar to you as you are? You are just taking this opportunity to take revenge!"
"You were not alert at night and that's why something went wrong. What does it have to do with me?"
"..."
Old Master Chen was already feeling anxious and worried about the whereabouts of his livestock.
Seeing that this old woman Ma did not think about making amends but was arguing with others here, he was so angry that the veins on his forehead popped out.
"Someone, shut up this noisy old woman! Slap her in the face!"
Without giving Ma Pozi a chance to beg for mercy, a clever servant took off his shoes and stuffed them into Ma Pozi's mouth accurately!
The sound of slapping hands suddenly rang out in the empty mountain foot.
Chen Shuanzi and his wife were already so frightened that their faces turned pale and they were trembling with fear. How could they dare to beg for mercy?
After Mrs. Ma's cheeks were red and swollen and she became listless, Mr. Chen ordered his men to detain the entire family.
He led everyone to the mountains to look for livestock!
Only Song Xile knew in his heart that this trip was destined to end in vain.
Song Xile originally wanted Yun You to go back first. Firstly, he was in poor health and he was not needed to find the livestock. Secondly, he would soon take part in the county examination and it would not be good to distract him at this time!
But Chen Yunyou was worried that his wife would be involved in this matter. "I have no mood to read even if I go back now. I feel more at ease with you!"
After hearing what he said, Song Xile didn't insist anymore.
The couple followed the crowd and went up the mountain to look for it!
Song Xile thinks that superficial efforts are just for show.
After all, everyone went to look for him, and it would be unreasonable for her to act too indifferent.
After all, in the eyes of outsiders, they had not separated, and the couple also had a share of these lost livestock!
The group searched the entire mountain and carefully surveyed the area along the mountain wall.
Not to mention animals, even no trace of human beings was found!
The livestock in the pen seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no clues were found!
