C43 Empty Heart

"Sigh, my family is in trouble. One or two are about to turn the sky upside down. My eldest son is like this, and now my youngest son is like this as well. Why is her life so bitter …"

Aunt Xiao sighed a few times before forcefully putting the wooden basin back into the room. What was this daughter-in-law up to now again? She probably went out to look for Yiming after not seeing him this early in the morning.

But Aunt Xiao was wrong. She had obviously underestimated Luo Mannmann's stubborn character.

Xiao Yiming ran all the way to Liu Shan's house in a hurry. As soon as he entered the yard, he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Brother Liu Shan, Brother Liu Shan, are you home?"

After shouting for so long, Liu Shan still hadn't come out. It seemed like Liu Shan's family of three wasn't home. Where were they?

A strong sense of loss filled his heart, when he heard an ancient voice: "Isn't that Yiming? Wu Tie went out to sea to fish. What urgent matter do you have? "

Coincidentally, the Village Head passed by and saw Xiao Yiming's anxious look, he could not help but ask.

Previously, he didn't have a good impression of this young man, but after what happened recently.

He found that Xiao Yiming was a good person, and since his daughter already had a good home, he couldn't have any other opinions on Xiao Yiming.

"Brother Liu Shan went fishing in the sea, no wonder." Xiao Yiming found out that the net in the Liu family's courtyard was not there.

It was obvious that he had gone out to sea. He was worried, but also confused. He had been blinded by his impatience and panic.

"Yiming, you don't look too good, are you still sad about your wife?

"You know this village head, all kinds of rumors are only a matter of time. After a while, who would remember this matter? You, don't forget it." the village chief advised.

"Thank you, Village Head." Since Liu Shan wasn't here, he could only go back first. His handsome face was a bit lost, and his footsteps were fake.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly remembered that the village chief was literate. He quickly turned his head and shouted, "Village Head, you!"

The village chief bent down and used his walking stick to take a few steps forward. Then, he saw Yiming's lifeless face shining like the sun in the dark corner of the village. In an instant, his face brightened up. "Yiming, what's the matter?"

"Village Head, may I trouble you to take a look at what is written on this letter?" Xiao Yiming carefully took out the letter from his pocket and handed it over with both hands.

The village head looked at him doubtfully before receiving the letter and saying, "I'll read it for you."

"Alright, Village Head." He could feel his heart pounding.

The village chief's old voice started to recite, "Yiming, when you saw this letter, I had already left.

Don't come looking for me. I don't want to make things difficult for you, much less cause you and your mother to be at odds because of me.

Thank you for your kindness. Without you, perhaps I would have died long ago.

This banknote is what I got from selling the recipe, if I leave it to you, even if I have to repay your kindness, my house will be old, it will leak rain on rainy days, and I think this money is enough to buy land to build a house and marry a wife.

Goodbye to my benefactor, I wish you happiness!

"Don't think about it, Mannmannliu."

When he just finished reading, the village chief realized that it was probably a letter from Mrs. Xiaoli. He was a little surprised, "Yiming, I didn't expect your wife to know how to read. Her handwriting is beautiful and well written."

Xiao Yiming didn't even hear what the Village Head said. He only had one thought on his mind, and that was his wife had left.

His wife really left and would never come back. Xiao Yiming's heart instantly stopped beating and he felt like he was going to suffocate.

Coincidentally, third aunt had also come to the Liu Clan to buy a few fishes, but in the end, she saw such a scene.

When the Village Chief was reading that letter, her ears were opened. Mrs. Xiao had actually run away …

Sigh, actually, it can't be considered as running away anymore. He left the money so affectionately and righteously but he just left quietly. Sigh …

Her road to wealth was ruined. In this period of time, she had taken over a hundred gold coins from her rebate. This money came easily and she didn't even need to do manual labor to earn money.

He did not expect Mrs. Xiao to sell the formula. After all, it should be at least a few hundred silver coins.

"Yiming, what's wrong with you? Are you alright? With such a pale face, should we look for Doctor Chang? " The village chief supported his swaying body as he asked with concern.

"I-I'm fine. Thank you, Village Chief." Xiao Yiming walked back as if he had lost his soul. He didn't even notice Auntie Qiu when he bumped into her on the way.

"What are you thinking? "The one walking in the sky." Auntie Qiu had just returned from washing clothes by the stream. This was the only way to get home.

She was just distracted for a moment before being hit by Xiao Yiming. Her arm was in pain.

Seeing that the other party did not react, Auntie Qiu raised her head and realized that it was Xiao Yiming. Seeing that he was half-dead, Auntie Qiu became even more angry.

"Xiao Yiming, don't you have to apologize after bumping into someone? Who was he putting on a show for? Did you run away from your wife, or did you just die? "Who are you showing a sullen face to …"

Auntie Qiu's venomous mouth caused third aunt, who was not far away, to shudder. This Auntie Qiu was truly outrageous … Her daughter-in-law had already left, but she still refused to forgive him.

Xiao Yiming's pupils suddenly contracted when he heard the words' daughter-in-law '. He yelled at her when he came back to his senses, "What did you say? Say it again if you dare. I'll beat you to death."

Xiao Yiming was furious and waved his hand to hit her. He saw Auntie Qiu run away while clutching her chest: "What the hell are you guys doing? You really dared to hit me. Luckily, my grandma ran away fast."

Seeing Auntie Qiu's funny look, third aunt could not help but want to laugh. This damned woman always wanted to take advantage of him. If she knew that Xiao Yiming had a huge sum of money, who knew what she would do.

"third aunt, where did you go back?" Auntie Qiu looked at third aunt who was walking towards them and greeted her with a smile.

third aunt snorted lightly and walked past her.

"You …" Who was it, what was with the look in his eyes? Auntie Qiu was ignored and left dejectedly in a huff.

Just looking at these people made him angry.

Xiao Yiming returned to his Xiao Family in a daze. Seeing Aunt Xiao holding onto a silver note, he asked with a face full of surprise:

"Yiming, where did you go?" I just went to your room and found a silver note on the table. How can you leave it around? What if he lost it? Right, where did you get that silver? "

Xiao Yiming quivered and went forward to snatch the silver notes from her hands. He immediately put them in his pocket and looked at Aunt Xiao with a furious expression. "Mother, why did you barge into my room?"

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you?" Can't your mother get into your room? What kind of attitude is this, to be angry at me. "

Aunt Xiao was so angry that her chest hurt. This child had always been sensible and filial. Normally, he would never even shout at her.

It must have been that Luo Mannmann's instigation, causing her son to become like this.

"Mother, where did I ask you something?" "Where did this silver tael come from?" Although she couldn't read, she still recognized the notes.

Usually, a hundred taels of silver would be required to exchange for silver notes. If this money came from Xiao Family, then they would be rich.

"Silver banknotes, when did you end up with money? Aren't you worried that Mannmann has been missing all morning?" Xiao Yiming was furious.

"What do you mean? How can you talk to your mother like that? She's a living person, can it be that she's lost …"

Before Aunt Xiao could finish her sentence, she was choked by Xiao Yiming, "My wife has left and will never come back. Now you are satisfied and happy." This is a silver note left behind by my wife, nobody is allowed to touch it. "

Xiao Yiming said with a dark face. When he entered the room, he raised his hand and noticed that there were tears in the corner of his eyes. It turned out that he also had tears in his eyes.

Wife, where are you? No, he had to find her … The moment Xiao Yiming thought of this, he immediately ran out.

However, Aunt Xiao stopped her. With an apologetic expression, she asked, "Ah, mother, I wonder if Mannmann left. Where do you want to go?"

Judging from his fiery demeanor, it was obvious that he had been provoked.

Actually, Aunt Xiao liked this daughter-in-law quite a bit before, but the crux of the matter was that this daughter-in-law couldn't be born and had a bad reputation. Sigh, Yiming was too fortunate. He finally got a daughter-in-law at such an old age …

"I want to go find my wife, whoever stops me will be the one to worry." After Xiao Yiming said this, he ran out of the room as if he had gone mad. As he ran, he shouted, "My wife, where are you?"

Thinking that his wife had gone to town, he called Old Uncle Zhang, who was pulling a cart from the village, to look around the town, but there was still no news of him.

In the evening, Xiao Yiming returned to the Xiao Family with a face full of fatigue. However, the news of Mrs. Xiao's departure seemed to have grown wings as it flew to every corner of the village.

During the night, the night wind was blowing gently and Xiao Yiming's mind was in a mess. He walked out of the small courtyard with Xiao Family and walked around listlessly.

Every household had their lights on, but they didn't see a single person on the road. The bright moonlight shone on their bodies, giving them a desolate feeling.

The moonlight was soft and the surroundings were quiet. A voice sounded: "Ergouzi, have you heard? "Mrs. Xiao ran away."

"Yeah, I heard that Xiao Yiming is also a passionate guy. I saw him flip the whole village over like crazy this afternoon." Wang Family's neighbor spoke up.

Xiao Yiming looked around and unknowingly arrived near Ergouzi's home. At this moment, he heard Aunt Wang sigh and chat with her neighbors.

"Sigh, my family's Ergouzi is wrong about this. Look at how good this couple is."

"Aunt Wang, you're the one who's reasonable. You don't care about these worldly pleasures. Your wife is also blessed. She's also a lady from a brothel. The difference in treatment is too great."

"Hey, Big Aunt, you can't say that. This makes my wife unhappy. Can my Hei Ya be compared with Mrs. Xiao?

"She gave me her virginity as a virgin, and I, Ergouzi, was lucky. If I'm not pregnant, then mammy will just bring her directly to my house."

Wang Ergou grinned happily. After all, his own mother compared him to Xiao Yiming all day long.
