There is a whereabouts

Yang Huamei had no choice but to smile bitterly: "Mother, don't overturn a boatload of people with one pole, sister Cuihua has been busy these two days and she has done her best."

"Bah, that's what she should do. She's atoning for Wang Chunhua's sins, for the old Wang's family, and it's no exaggeration to be a horse back then!"

Yang Huamei knew that she couldn't say enough about Mrs. Tan, and it would be bad to talk too much, so she could only helplessly shake her head, "Put the fish there first, and I'll get it later."

Then he turned his face and talked to Sun and the others about other things to change the subject.

Yang Huamei poured tea for the big guy, and the big guy opened the window to let the wind blow in, talking around the table by the window.

Mainly, Mrs. Sun was asking about Yang Huamei's situation in the past two days, whether she slept well, and other common greeting topics.

"In the past few days, my health is obviously much better. With my mother, I can obviously do the cooking, washing and other tasks, but Shuanzi is rushing to do it and won't let me help at all."

"Today, I drove him to the school early in the morning. In order to stay at home and look after me, and to find Dabai, he has been delayed by the school for many days."

When Yang Huamei said this, she looked at Yang Ruoqing in embarrassment.

The school was run by the Luo family, and Yang Ruoqing arranged for Shuanzi to go to the school for his free time.

After so many days of delay, Qing'er didn't say a word of reproach, and the wages were still paid, which made me really feel sorry.

Yang Ruoqing understood what Yang Huamei meant, and smiled at her, "Under special circumstances, I can understand."

In addition to being grateful, Yang Huamei felt even more guilty.

"It's Dabai. It's been six or seven days and there's still no news. I can't even think about it. Whenever I think about it, my heart feels uncomfortable." Yang Huamei continued.

The others at the table followed suit with sighs and frowns.

Only Yang Ruoqing looked as usual, and said lightly, "Auntie, don't worry, I understand that I'm a 14-year-old boy, and I can't get rid of him."

Yang Huamei grimaced, "That's the truth, and I know he knows the way home, but what I'm worried about is that he got into trouble outside and was locked up."

"What's the purpose of being locked up?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Yang Huamei was stunned.

Mrs. Tan was drinking tea when she suddenly touched the lid of the bowl lightly, and said solemnly: "I know what the purpose is. When I was young, I lived with that old man in the county for a while. Less new things outside."

Everyone turned their eyes to Mrs. Tan, expecting her to reveal the truth for everyone.

"At that time, there was a rich family in the county town with a silly son. He went out for an outing in March and didn't come back. Only the servant came back."

"The servant was beaten so badly that his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He brought back a message from the group of kidnappers, saying that he asked the family to collect 50 taels of silver and send them over at the agreed time and place before releasing them."

Yang Huamei's blood that had developed in the past two days faded away instantly, and she said palely, "Mother, don't scare me. Could it be that Dabai was also kidnapped? I dare not even think about it."

Tan pursed her lips, and sneered in Yang Huamei's direction: "I mean, Dabai must not have been kidnapped. Go out and find out, who is not the son of a rich family who was kidnapped? If it's like the daughter of the Luo family... "

Yang Ruoqing thumped the tea bowl in her hand on the table, and her tone became cold: "Grandma, if you want to compare it to someone else's baby, don't use my baby as an analogy, I hate that!"

Mrs. Tan was stunned for a moment. Isn't this fat girl just making an analogy?
Be careful!
Mrs. Sun coughed lightly and didn't speak, but her face clearly told the people sitting that she, like Yang Ruoqing, disagreed with Mrs. Tan's comparison of the Luo family's children, which was bad luck.

Yang Huamei glanced at Yang Ruoqing, and hurriedly said: "Mother, just talk about things, just talk about my family, don't talk about other people's families, I understand what you mean."

Now that she understands, Tan can continue talking.

"It's very unlikely that Dabai will be kidnapped. Why are they kidnapping him? What's the plot of the old Wang's family's three-acre land?" Tan asked again.

Yang Huamei smiled embarrassingly, "Even if I sell all the acres of land at home, I still can't get together 50 taels of silver."

Mrs. Tan clapped her hands together, "Then it's over, but anyone with a little brain will not tie Dabai. If you tie him up, not only can you not exchange money, but you have to buy food in it. You are half a child, and you will eat poor people!"

Yang Huamei thinks about it too, and Dabai is so big, taller than herself, strong and cunning, it is difficult to tie him up and trap him.

"Then, what Zhaoniang said, Dabai won't come back for a few days, where could he be?" She asked again tentatively.

Mrs. Tan thought for a while, "When he left, he still had Wang Hongquan's [-] Wen coins with him. Even if he saved some money, he would definitely spend it all by now."

"If you haven't come back, there are two possibilities. Pick up rotten vegetables and leaves under the overpass to get angry with the family, or find a place to stay and have a job in charge of food and drink."

"Dabai has never had a hard time. Picking up rotten vegetables and leaves to eat, he should run back after two days. It's too difficult. It's probably more likely that he found an errand."

"Find an errand? If that's the case, I'll wake up laughing from my dream!" Yang Huamei raised her hand to cover her heart, she couldn't imagine that such a beautiful thing would happen.

"Auntie, you are right, Dabai has indeed found a job." Yang Ruoqing said coldly.

"What? Dabai really found an errand? Qing'er, are you right? Where is it? What errand?" Yang Huamei was so shocked that she almost knocked over the tea bowl in front of her.

The Tan family's grandson Bao Suyun also focused on Yang Ruoqing, Tan's excitement was no less than Yang Huamei's.

"Dabai has studied and his brain is also flexible, maybe it's a good job." Tan Shi said.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Have you all heard of the time-honored early shop Zhang Ji in the town?"

Yang Huamei nodded frantically, "I've heard of it, and I've even eaten the steamed stuffed buns from that shop. It's delicious!"

"Dabai is working as a waiter at Zhang Ji." Yang Ruoqing said immediately.

Yang Huamei was surprised and delighted, "Huh? Do you want to be a waiter? He is willing to be a waiter? He was not willing to let him go to Tianxiang Building as a waiter before..."

Yang Ruoqing smiled, and then said: "The monk in the outer temple is good at chanting scriptures. He has been doing it in Zhangji for several days."

"Qing'er, are you sure you read it right?" Yang Huamei leaned over, grabbed Yang Ruoqing's hand, and asked for confirmation again excitedly.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "No, the people I sent confirmed again and again that it was Dabai."

Yang Huamei was so happy that her mouth was crooked. The strength she had lost in the past few days was instantly regained. She stood up from the stool and danced with excitement.

"That's great, that's great, Dabai is not lost, and he has found an errand to do things in a down-to-earth manner!"

Seeing Yang Huamei's ecstatic look, Yang Ruoqing suddenly thought of Fan Jinzhongju, probably nothing more than that?
