70's Raising a Child: I'm done with cannon fodder female supporting roles

Chapter 63 You did it on purpose, pay me!
Shen Nanqiao stood there, looking at Jiang Zhe's attitude towards Xiu Yu, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

She rolled her eyes and thought:
Jiang Zhe is a very manly person. He does things efficiently and effectively without any delay. He also does not hesitate just because the other party is a woman. He searches when necessary without any ambiguity.

Shen Nanqiao secretly sighed that he was really blind before.

I didn’t realize that Jiang Zhe is a rare good man in this era.

Jiang Zhe searched the Wang family's house carefully but did not find any trace of Old Lady Wang.

When he came out again and returned to Shen Nanqiao, he whispered, "Let's go, there's no one here."

Shen Nanqiao turned around and prepared to leave with Jiang Zhe, but suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiu Yu.

Although Shen Nanqiao was not the kind of person who would always swallow his anger, he was still saddened to see Xiuyu busying around in the pigpen and cowshed even though she had three broken fingers.

Although there must be something hateful about pitiful people, I still can't help but remind them. There's no harm in it anyway.

"If you go to the town hospital now, you can reconnect your finger. Although the healing effect won't be very good, it's better than it is now." Shen Nanqiao said.

Xiuyu stood there, her face stiffened for a moment, a glimmer of hope suddenly ignited in her heart, but she still said unforgivingly:

"How come you know so much about this?

Shen Nanqiao, did you know this would happen and deliberately break my finger? This money..."

"My wife is kindly reminding you. You may not appreciate it, but if you continue to be so unreasonable, I, Jiang Zhe, will not be polite."

Jiang Zhe's words frightened Xiuyu so much that she immediately stopped talking.

Shen Nanqiao didn't expect that Jiang Zhe, who was usually taciturn, would speak so much for her today.

She was in a good mood and looked at Jiang Zhe with a faint smile on her lips.

After the two came out of Wang's house, they went to Old Lady Ma's house, but they still came back empty-handed and didn't see Old Lady Ma.

The three sisters of the Ma family stood in the yard, looking at Shen Nanqiao, their faces full of guilt, and they were even about to kneel down to Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Nanqiao quickly reached out to stop them.

This matter has nothing to do with the three sisters.

"Xiumian, Xiuying, Xiuzhu, this matter has nothing to do with you, so don't kneel down in front of me." Shen Nanqiao said.

"It was our grandmother who did something bad. We searched the village for a long time this morning but couldn't find her." One of the three sisters said.

Shen Nanqiao rolled his eyes and asked:

"Xiumian, does your grandma have any places she often goes to? Or where she might go, can you tell me?"

There is no man in the Ma family, so the family relies entirely on old lady Ma to support them.

But this is not the reason why Shen Nanqiao should forgive Old Lady Ma.

If Yaoyao is not found this time, she will be lost for life.

Xiu Mian told her about several places that Old Lady Ma often went to, but those places didn't seem like places where she could hide.

The younger sister stood there and thought for a while, then slowly took a step forward. However, because she was timid, she swallowed the words back at the tip of her tongue.

Shen Nanqiao noticed the look in Xiaomei's eyes and immediately looked at her tenderly: "Xiaomei, do you know something?"

The younger sister looked at her two older sisters, and after getting their permission and encouragement, she whispered:
"When grandpa died, our family had no money, so we buried him on the top of the mountain. Over the years, grandma would go to offer sacrifices to grandpa every year, going up the mountain in the morning and coming down in the evening.
She also dug a hole there and placed the coffin there in advance, saying that was where she would stay in the future.

Now that something has happened, I don’t know if she will go and hide with her grandfather.”

The younger sister's voice was very soft, but it moved the hearts of everyone present.

When the other two sisters heard this, they were also enlightened:
"Maybe grandma really is there. The place where grandpa is buried is called Huanggang Mountain. There are few cemeteries there and it has never been reclaimed. Grandma goes there alone every year." Shen Nanqiao and Jiang Zhe looked at each other.

Now we have to hurry to Huanggang Mountain without wasting a moment.

Shen Nanqiao nodded: "Okay, thank you."

At this moment, Xiaoyu ran out of the house with a toy in his hand. When he saw Shen Nanqiao, he pointed the toy at her, and then pepper spray sprayed out, shouting:
"You evil woman, you want to take my grandma away, don't you? Give my grandma back to me!"

Xiaoyu suddenly rushed in front of Shen Nanqiao. Jiang Zhe's face darkened and he stood in front of Shen Nanqiao without thinking.

The pepper spray all sprayed onto Jiang Zhe's back and flowed down his back. Jiang Zhe was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and his back suddenly felt hot and painful.

Shen Nanqiao was held in Jiang Zhe's arms, her ears filled with the sound of his strong heartbeat. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and an unnatural expression flashed across her face.

Xiu Mian couldn't stand it any longer, so she stepped forward and snatched the toy from Xiao Yu's hand: "Ma Xiao Yu, have you had enough of making trouble? Do you know what bad things your grandma did? She is breaking the law!"

Xiumian also felt uncomfortable.

What would Xiaoyu do if Grandma Ma was really arrested?
That would fall on the shoulders of the three sisters.

They are only teenagers themselves and have to raise a child.

The child usually treats them as servants.

When she thought of this, Xiumian felt wronged.

When Xiumian said this, her eyes became red and her body began to tremble slightly.

Shen Nanqiao's heart suddenly tightened, and she gently struggled out of Jiang Zhe's arms.

Looking at the three sisters, she bit her lip subconsciously.

Although her abilities were limited, an idea was already spinning in her mind.

She looked at Jiang Zhe, her hand unconsciously reaching out to touch his back, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Before her hand touched Jiang Zhe's back, Jiang Zhe quickly grabbed her wrist. "It's okay, don't touch it."

Jiang Zhe's hands were warm and strong, and the warmth instantly spread throughout Shen Nanqiao's body, making her a little overwhelmed.

She blinked, looked away in panic, and stammered, "Then, then shall we go to Huanggang Mountain?"

Jiang Zhe responded in a low voice, holding her wrist with his hand, and he didn't want to let go.

But seeing Shen Nanqiao's uncomfortable expression, he had to force himself to let go.

The Huanggang Mountain has not been cultivated, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, and there are rubbles rolling down the mountain everywhere.

Shen Nanqiao was already out of breath after climbing just a few steps.

She looked at Jiang Zhe who was climbing the mountain steadily in front of her, and she was trying hard to catch up from behind, with her hands on her waist, trying to make her rapid breathing less obvious.

How could Jiang Zhe not hear her panting? He turned around and found that Shen Nanqiao was three or four steps away from him.

He frowned and asked, "Are you tired?"

Shen Nanqiao quickly pretended to be calm and denied: "No...no...ah!"

As soon as she said this, she was stunned. Why did her voice sound so soft and weak, without any persuasiveness at all?

In fact, mountain climbing has always been one of Shen Nanqiao's most hated sports.

During this period, she has been walking to and from get off work in an attempt to improve her physical fitness, but her body is still very weak.
