The kids wanted to tell Sifu that Sanfu and Wufu were doing well in the military camp, that they even wrote a letter attached with money because

Sanfu had made contributions and become a commander. This would make Sifu happy.

However, before they could speak, Sifu anxiously ran to them and spoke first, “It’s already four in the afternoon, and the food has gotten cold. Daxi hasn’t come yet, so Grandpa started to worry if something happened. Father asked me to go and take a look. There are horses at home, but there’s no carriage to pull them. We can only make do with a cart. You guys should go back quickly and not wander around outside. Mother was starting to get worried about you two.”

Without waiting for them to say anything, Sifu rushed to the stable.

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan looked at each other.

Sanfu and Wufu’s matter could always be discussed later. The pressing matter at hand was about Daxi, Xue Darongs wife.

Therefore, the two of them continued to go to their grandfather’s place.

However, before they could enter Darongs house, they saw Du Shanqiang and Du Hongguo. When asked, they said they did not see where Xue Daxi went as well.

Darong was busy guarding the shop, so he was nowhere in sight…

Jiang Yue and Xue Yan first looked at each other again. Then, the two of them turned their heads inside and said to Xue Da and the others in the courtyard, “Shanqiang and Hongguo are here.”

“They are? Quick, quick, go and call Sifu and tell him not to hitch the cart.” Xue Dafu was the first to rush out to invite the guests in.

“Okay.” Jiang Yue and Xue Yan responded and then went to tell Sifu.

Sifu had just moved the cart out and hadn’t put it on yet. When he heard that the others had come, but his aunt hadn’t, he immediately felt that something was He didn’t care about the cart. He held them in each hand and rushed to his grandfather’s place.

Du Shanqiang and Du Hongguo had just arrived and greeted Xue Da and the others. Naturally, the first question Xue Da and the others asked was why Xue Daxi wasn’t there.

The 15 -year-old Du Hongguo immediately lowered her head while Du Shanqiang blushed.

“What is going on?” Xue Xiaoxi unhappily spoke. “Why isn’t my sister here? Can’t you see that everyone is worried? Can’t you see how old Father is? Give me a definite answer instead of looking around!”

Xue Da looked at Du Shanqiang and Du Hongguo. His eyes were full of worry.

“Shanqiang! Say something!” Xue Dafu and Xue Dagui were also dissatisfied and immediately shouted.

Du Shanqiang stammered and said evasively, “No, no it’s fine. She’s fine. She insisted on staying in the shop and refused to come with us.”

By the end of his sentence, his face had turned the color of a tomato.

Liu Guixia said, “Isn’t her husband guarding the shop? Why did she insist on staying?”

“She… she just refused to come.” Du Shanqiang said.

“Just say it!” Xue Xiaoxi immediately pestered Du Hongguo.

“I don’t know.” Du Hongguo immediately cried. “I don’t know. She didn’t want me to say it!”

“It’s okay… There’s no need to be afraid.” Liu Guixia quickly hugged Du Hongguo and comforted her.

Du Hongguo cried in Liu Guixia!s arms.

Seeing this, Du Shanqiang could only kneel down to Xue Da and say honestly, “She’s really fine. She’s at Sanfu’s rice noodle shop. It’s just that they spent nearly five silvers to buy me a concubine from a very poor family. She was angry and refused to bring Hongguo and me back to her mother’s house, so we could only come by ourselves..”
