If you can count on a little less, ten taels of silver will be enough for the farmer's family for several months.
After all the words had been said, Boss Chen could not change his words. After all, he had angered the Shen sisters. If Shen Ji was really moved away, his shop would not be able to sell for the same price.
After the matter was settled, Shen Qingqian asked Shen Qingning to let Shen Chen handle the rest.
Shen Qingqian stayed in the store all afternoon and made several new snacks with Shen Qingning. Seeing that it was getting late, she rushed home.
By the time she got home, it was completely dark.
"Sister Qian, have you seen your third sister? It's already this time, why hasn't she come back yet?" Mrs. Wu glanced outside the yard, with confusion in her eyes.
Shen Qingqian looked back and said strangely: "Isn't Third Sister back yet? It shouldn't be."
The sugar workshop always ends at You hour, which means work ends at five o'clock in the afternoon. In the past, Shen Qingxiao would come back at most after finishing the work in the workshop, but now it's already midnight, and he hasn't gotten home yet?
Without waiting for Wu to speak, Shen Qingqian walked towards the sugar workshop, "Auntie, I'm going to find Third Sister."
Everyone in the family has their own things to do when they go to the fields and come back every day. No one noticed today's abnormality before. It was not until the sky darkened that Wu realized that Shen Qingxiao had not come back.
At this moment, she felt a little uneasy, so she simply caught up with Shen Qingqian, and the two of them went to the sugar factory behind to find someone.
However, when Shen Qingqian and Wu left the yard and walked around to the back, they discovered that the sugar factory was dark and the door was locked. It was obvious that no one was inside at this time.
"Where is Sister Xiao? Why aren't you here?" Mrs. Wu's heart skipped a beat and she turned her head and looked around.
Shen Qingqian's face was as dark as water, but she still said to comfort her: "Maybe something happened. Let's look around again."
After speaking, she immediately hurried home, called out all the family members, and went in different directions to find Shen Qingxiao.
After the Shen family's commotion subsided, everyone in the Huanxi Courtyard noticed something unusual and came over to ask Xiao Lin who was guarding the house.
"Brother Xiao and daughter-in-law, what's going on? Why do I see everyone in your family going out?"
At this time, Mrs. Xiao Lin couldn't tell her why Shen Qingxiao was missing, so she could only say vaguely: "There are still some things to finish in the fields. The more people who go, the faster they can come back for dinner."
How important is a woman's reputation? She didn't dare to speak casually until she was sure whether Shen Qingxiao could be found.
There was no doubt that he was the one who asked the question. He patted his legs with an "Oh" and said, "Then you should have called us just now. Wouldn't it be done faster?"
Mrs. Xiao Lin muttered a few words absentmindedly, sent the person away and returned to the house. After a while, she ran to the door and looked out.
Two quarters of an hour later, Shen Qingqian and others came back one after another, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
Mrs. Lin said: "My third brother and sister and I went to the other side of the valley, but we didn't see the third girl."
"I've searched all the nearby fields, but there's no one there." Shen Qingman frowned, feeling very uneasy.
Shen Jun frowned and said, "I have asked at various intersections near the yard, and no one has seen Third Sister."
"I've looked at all the surrounding woods, but I haven't seen Third Sister." Shen Qingqian also said.
At this point, the Shen family finally confirmed that Shen Qingxiao was missing.
Wu immediately staggered and said with a pale face, "Where did Sister Xiao go? Why didn't you tell us?"
She still held on to the last glimmer of hope. Shen Qingqian might have gone somewhere because of something.
Shen Jun clenched his fists, "I'm afraid this matter is not simple."
