Following her gaze, Geng Hanchu turned sideways and looked at Ying Qingci, "Do you know him?"
Ying Qingci nodded, "I met him before when I was fleeing."
I just didn't expect that they would enter Pingyang Mansion. Judging from how they look now, they must have gotten rid of their previous life, right?
"Auntie, what are you looking at?"
The little girl next to her tugged on the middle-aged woman's clothes, doubts flashing in her eyes.
The little girl has gained a lot of weight than before, her face has a lot more color, and her cheeks are even slightly fatter. Obviously, her life is much better now than before.
The middle-aged woman, Shuanghua, put down the farm tools in her hands and raised her hands to place them on the little girl's head.
"It's nothing, Aniang felt like she saw a familiar figure."
"familiar person?"
There was a trace of panic on Erya's face. When she mentioned a familiar person, she didn't know what she thought of, and her face turned pale.
Shuanghua noticed her pale face and quickly raised her hand to comfort her, "Erya, it's not those people, it's the sister who helped us before."
"Sister?" Erya's voice was a little weak, with a slight tremor. After hearing this, a flash of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Yes, it's that sister. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have the good life we have today."
"Then shall we go thank her?"
Erya blinked her eyes. Since she was the benefactor, should they go and say thank you?
"Maybe Aniang saw it wrong."
Shuanghua sighed. They had been living here all their lives and had never heard that she had come here. She couldn't suddenly appear here today, right?
"After grandma finishes the work at hand, grandma will go home and bake pancakes for you."
"Okay, I'll help grandma."
As she spoke, Erya's little figure bent down and pulled out a weed. Her hands were also stained with mud, but her face was filled with a happy smile.
"Okay, be careful."
"I know, Aniang."
----------
"Why don't you come over and say hello?"
"No need, we just met once."
"Let's go directly to the village."
It's still important to find someone first.
Geng Hanchu nodded.
The overall appearance of Yangshu Village is similar to that of Qingyang Village. They should both be very poor. However, Yangshu Village looks obviously much larger than Qingyang Village.
The people here should be a little wealthier than those in Qingyang Village.
As they walked into the village, the surrounding eyes fell on them.
"who is this?"
"Why come back to our village?"
"It looks like a young lady from the town. What are you doing here?"
"It's just-"
Nan Xiangyun held a folding fan in his hand and walked to the middle-aged woman closest to them.
"Madam, may I ask how to get to the village chief's house?"
"Who are you? What are you doing in our village?"
"Auntie, don't worry, we are here to find someone, so we want to ask where the village chief's home is?"
The aunt's vigilance was indeed high, which reminded Ying Qingci of the time when she first went to Qingyang Village, and the people in the village were also so vigilant.
"Find someone?"
"Yes, our family was lost before, and someone said they had seen him in your village, so we wanted to ask the village chief about the situation."
"That's it."
The aunt murmured, raised her head and looked at Ying Qingci, a flash of pity in her eyes.
This little girl is not very young yet she got lost from her family. She is really a pitiful person.
"Hey, little girl, you follow this road and go directly to the house at the back. There is the village chief's house."
"Okay, thank you, ma'am."
"You're welcome, little girl, I also hope you can find your family."
The aunt is very clear about the pain of separation from loved ones. The feeling will be unforgettable for the rest of her life.
After saying that, she waved her hand and left the place directly.
Ying Qingci's eyes moved slightly. It seemed that this lady was also a person with a story.
He withdrew his gaze and glanced at Geng Hanchu and Nan Xiangyun beside him.
"Let's go."
"Um."
Following the aunt's guidance, they soon arrived at the village chief's house.
'Dong dong——'
"Who is it?"
There was a knock on the door, and not long after, a woman's voice came from inside.
When he opened the door and saw the three people outside, he couldn't help but be startled. He raised his hand and wiped his body, "Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, is this the village chief's home?"
"Well, my family went out because of something, are you?"
The woman was stunned and looked at them with a hint of suspicion.
"That's it, Auntie, this time we..."
Ying Qingci briefly explained their purpose, and the woman nodded after listening.
"Are you relatives of the little baby picked up by the Wang family?"
Wang family?
Ying Qingci was stunned, she didn't know which one it was?
"Auntie, someone else told me this clue. As for whether it is true, I have to take a look to find out."
"well."
The woman sighed.
"If so, I don't know whether you are lucky or unlucky."
Why does this tone feel a little bad?
Nan Xiangyun was even more confused. The folding fan was stuck in his hand and he looked up at the woman in front of him.
"Auntie, what do you mean...?"
"Speaking of which, the Wang family didn't have a boy originally. Later, they picked up a little boy from somewhere. At first, they were quite good to the child."
"It's just that later, the Wang family brought back another child from outside, claiming that it was their biological child. The little boy who was originally picked up suffered a lot. He had to do all the things at home..."
Ying Qingci frowned. If this was really her brother, how much hardship would he have to endure?
"Don't that boy know how to resist?"
The woman sighed, "How can it be so simple?"
"Not to mention, the Wang family is not a good person. When they saw the boy running out, they caught him and beat him up. Just saying that the boy didn't know what happened and he didn't remember who he was. Already..."
"Wha...what?"
Ying Qingci's eyes trembled slightly, don't remember?
Nan Xiangyun's heart skipped a beat, this was sister Ying's relative, not to mention how he was doing now? Just talking about amnesia... doesn't it mean that I don't remember her?
Then this time...
"Who are you? Why are you in my house?"
Just as he was thinking about it, a strong voice came from the door.
Ying Qingci and the others turned their heads and saw the middle-aged man standing at the door.
On the other hand, the woman, after seeing the man, rushed forward to greet him.
"The head of the family, this is the relative of that little kid from the Wang family."
"shut up!"
Hearing this, the village chief's face turned dark. What a stupid woman, why do you keep saying anything?
No matter how the Wang family is not involved, it is still a matter in their village. If outsiders find out, how will they view their Yangshu Village?
