On the wedding day, I was broken off, so I remarried his uncle

The big commotion caused by the Chen family also alarmed the villagers.

"Hey, have you heard that the livestock on Chenjia Mountain are lost?"

"How could it be? How could it be lost out of nowhere?"

"Yes, it's very strange. Do you think it was that old woman Ma who did this?"

"What's going on? I remember that Chen Ying's family lived on that mountain. What does it have to do with Ma Pozi?"

A villager slapped his thigh excitedly, "Hey, you didn't know this..."

I saw the villager talking a lot.

He told everyone about what he saw yesterday, Chen Ying and his family moving to the patriarch's house in Dashan to help repair the roof.

"Do you think this animal can be found?"

"I don't think it's possible. It's been so long now and the thief has already run away. Where can we find him?"

"..."

While the villagers were discussing the matter enthusiastically, Old Man Chen led his men to search from early morning until the sun was high in the sky, but still found nothing.

Mr. Chen, who had returned home temporarily, looked even uglier!

The atmosphere in the main hall was extremely solemn. Old Master Chen, who was sitting at the head of the table, said nothing, his face looking so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.

The Chen family members gathered together and stood quietly at the bottom. Even Chen Xia, who usually felt that he was favored, did not dare to confront Song Xile at this time!

At this time, Chen Mingyuan broke the silence. He stepped forward and suggested, "Master, these animals can't just disappear without leaving any traces, right?"

"I always feel that this incident is strange. Let's report it to the county government. If there are any big thieves in our county, it will serve as a warning to everyone!"

After searching for a whole morning and finding nothing, Mr. Chen had no better ideas at this time.

After hearing his grandson's words, Mr. Chen's gloomy expression eased a little, and a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

The grandson may not know clearly, but as a small country gentleman in Nanyun County, he is very familiar with the behavior of the county officials!

If you ask for help from someone there, you will have to pay some money to bribe them!

But when he thought of the many livestock that had been lost, Mr. Chen felt unwilling to give up.

Seeing his grandfather's hesitation, Chen Mingyuan advised, "There are special officers in the county government who are responsible for criminal investigations and hunting down criminals. They are much more experienced than people like us who know nothing. Who knows what they will come up with!"

Mr. Chen, who was already a little hesitant, finally accepted the suggestion after listening to his grandson's analysis.

He patted his grandson on the shoulder and said, "The county exam is coming soon, so you should just focus on reviewing your lessons. Yunye, come with me to the county government office this afternoon!" After that, he asked Chen Da to harness the carriage, and he took his second son out.

When the head of the family left, everyone, each with their own thoughts, dispersed.

The young couple also returned to their courtyard. "I'll go to the kitchen to get some food. You go back and rest for a while. I'll call you when lunch is ready!"

After searching all over the mountain for a whole morning today, Chen Yunyou did feel a little exhausted. He did not force himself to stay awake. He nodded obediently and went to the bedroom.

Chen Yunyou returned to the house and began to review everything that had happened that day in his mind.

In fact, he was also puzzled. So many animals would not disappear for no reason. Where did they go?

Chen Yunyou analyzed in his mind that so many animals disappeared overnight and did not leave any trace. To achieve this, there must be someone inside to help and let the thieves in.

If someone climbed over the wall to steal, there should be signs of trampling on the dry grass around the wall, but it is strange that there are none.

Could it be that Ma Pozi's family is really the traitor?

Chen Yunyou rejected this answer in his heart. Judging from the reaction of Ma Pozi's family this morning, they would not be so at a loss.

Chen Yunyou was pondering over various possibilities.

In the main hall, after everyone had left, Liu called her eldest daughter-in-law.

Seeing that her mother was left behind and looking at her grandmother's gloomy face, Chen Mingyuan was worried that her mother would be scolded by her grandmother, so she winked at her sister.

Chen Xia received a signal from her brother and stayed as well!

She walked forward, patted her grandmother's back, and comforted her: "Grandma, don't worry. It will not be worth it if you worry and hurt yourself!"

Chen Mingyuan also held Liu's hand and consoled her earnestly, "Yes, my little sister is right. They are just some livestock. You should relax. When your grandson has a bright future, he will buy you as many livestock as you want!"

Liu's expression indeed eased a lot because of the comfort from the two children.

He originally wanted to scold his daughter-in-law, but because of the two children's pleas, he suppressed his anger!

Besides, my grandson is about to take part in the county examination, and I cannot let the child’s mood be disturbed by matters at home.

Mrs. Liu patted her grandson's hand and said, "Good boy, it's good that you have such filial piety!

You will be taking the county exam in two days. Go back and prepare well. I will talk to your mother!"

Seeing that his grandmother's expression had eased a little, Chen Mingyuan led his sister out of the main room.

At this moment, Xiao Liu was feeling very uneasy, worried that her mother-in-law would vent her anger on her.

Chen Ying had lived in the mountains for so many years and had never made any mistakes. I just arranged for some people to go in, and so many livestock were lost that night!

It is impossible to say that I am not afraid!

Liu looked at her daughter-in-law, who was trembling with fear, and suddenly became angry: "Look at you, which of the things I asked you to do have you completed?"

"Even if they were choosing someone, they should have chosen someone who was alert and reliable. Why did they choose such a bunch of idiots?"

"Mother, I also thought that Ma Po was just a scoundrel, she didn't have much brains, and her whole family was lazy and difficult to deal with. Let them face off against the third son's wife, there is no one more suitable than them!"

Xiao Liu defended herself in a low voice. How could she have imagined that this family was so unreliable that they could lose the livestock at the foot of the mountain overnight!

Liu didn't want to listen to her daughter-in-law's excuses anymore. It would be useless to say more now. Apart from finding livestock, nothing was more important than her grandson's county examination!

"Okay, you don't need to worry about the livestock. Your most important thing right now is to take good care of Mingyuan. Don't let anything go wrong at this time!"

"Such a big mistake has happened in the mountain. Your father-in-law will re-arrange the guards. We should not ask about it for now!"

"As for the third son's wife, let her have some fun for a few days. We can talk about everything after Mingyuan passes the county exam!"

When Xiao Liu saw that her mother-in-law had revealed the matter, she nodded repeatedly.

If the livestock theft had not happened, Xiao Liu would have wanted to mention her uncle's participation in the county examination.

In order to prevent their younger uncle from passing the imperial examination before Mingyuan, they had done some things. I wonder if they will continue to do so this year.

Xiao Liu looked at her mother-in-law's gloomy face and didn't dare to ask at this time.
