Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1630 - 1632: Waiting for News

From Alu’s fragmented words, Xiaoxiao could more or less piece things together.

It was very likely that Yang Xiaocui and Yang Daniu were having an affair; she just didn’t know how Yang Xiaocui had gotten mixed up with someone like Yang Daniu.

Thinking about it now, Li Chuntao had probably noticed something was off with Yang Xiaocui a long time ago, and that was why she’d come back.

This wasn’t giving up at all, this was lying in wait for an opportunity.

She’d said that girl had a mind of her own, and that really wasn’t a lie.

Just like Yang Dong, bottling everything up inside and unwilling to talk.

After returning home, Xiaoxiao told them what she’d found out. "Yang Xiaocui is definitely at home, but Auntie Lan Hua didn’t really want to let us see her, so we didn’t. Yang Daniu’s family said he hasn’t come home for days, but I did see Yang Daniu come back. I think he might really have gone up Nanshan, and Fourth Brother might have gone with him."

Hearing this, Old Yang spoke up. "Let’s wait a bit first, see if they can bring him back."

That was what he said, but everyone knew in their hearts that something had probably happened. Otherwise their Fourth wouldn’t possibly stay up in the mountain for this long.

Nanshan wasn’t far from here; you went up in the morning and no matter what, you’d be down by evening.

When she saw Xiaoxiao, Alu stood up and said, "Madam Yang, my young mistress is missing. Something this serious has happened, I want to go back to Stone Village. I have to tell Master and Madam."

Alu was extremely anxious. Such a terrible thing had happened to her young mistress, she had to go back. The Li Family was big and powerful; they would definitely gather more people to save her.

Xiaoxiao understood that when something happened to a person, their family had to be informed. But it was far too late now; pitch-dark outside, absolutely not a good time to travel back. The men had all gone up the mountain to search, and it wouldn’t be right for those left behind like them to rush back to Stone Village. Walking mountain roads at night was dangerous too.

"Alu, it’s too late right now, it wouldn’t be safe for you to go back. How about this—wait here for one night. If everyone still hasn’t found them by tomorrow morning, then you go back to Stone Village. If you ask me, we don’t need to be so pessimistic yet. Maybe they’re just trapped up there and can’t get down. With so many of us going up, we’ll definitely be able to save them. If your young mistress really is with our Fourth, then our Fourth definitely won’t let anything happen to her."

The others all chimed in to persuade Alu.

"Yeah, Third Sister-in-law is right. Don’t worry. Our Fourth may be a bit wooden, but he’s got strength, and he’s used to that mountain. He’ll be fine."

"That’s right, that’s right, they must just be stuck somewhere. Maybe they got caught in a trap set by hunters, that’s why they haven’t come down. Once everyone gets up there, they’ll find them."

"If he really is with Fourth, Fourth would risk his own life before he let anything happen to your young mistress, you can be sure of that."

"It’s not safe this late at night. Just listen to our Third son’s wife. If they still can’t find anyone first thing tomorrow, then you go back."

"..."

"..."

Alu’s whole heart was with her young mistress. Now that her mistress was missing, she was worried sick and wouldn’t be able to calm down until she saw her with her own eyes. But she had no other way, so she could only accept Xiaoxiao’s suggestion: if there was still no news early tomorrow morning, she would go back to Stone Village to report it.

That night was endlessly long for everyone. No one slept well—almost no one slept at all. They were all waiting for news.
