Chapter 342 Want to leave home

Mrs. Zheng had always hated the Shen family, and when she heard her son's support, she was furious. However, she preferred her son, so she took all her anger out on Cuiyu.

Cuiyu was beaten in the end and had no dinner. She was as hungry as she was when she was fleeing from famine, and she had to cut firewood.

Seeing her aggrieved look, Ji Xiang secretly brought her a steamed bun.

"Are you familiar with the girls of the Shen family? Next time there is delicious food, remember to get some for me!" Jixiang didn't want to help her chop wood or anything, and stood aside with his arms folded and watched.

Cuiyu felt aggrieved after being scolded. She originally thought that Jixiang gave Baozi because he cared about her, but it turned out that he had a purpose.

She said angrily: "I'm not familiar with them!"

"You're lying! If you weren't familiar with me, why would you give you so many delicious roasted chestnuts?" Jixiang said proudly, as if he saw through her.

"That was given to me by Xiyue!"

"Gu Xiyue? Isn't she more familiar with the Shen family? You still want to lie to me! I know you often play with them, and I told Aniang that you don't even have to eat the buns!"

Cuiyu suddenly felt that the bun in her hand was no longer fragrant.She doesn't care about this broken bun!
She couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to leave home.

But where is she going?
This is not her hometown, and she has no sense of belonging.

The more Cuiyu thought about it, the more she felt aggrieved. When Zheng and Jixiang weren't paying attention, she ran out.

The night was dark, and Cuiyu walked aimlessly along the field ridge for a long distance, crossed the small river, and reached the foot of the mountain. After walking at the foot of the mountain for a while, she suddenly realized that she had walked far and her legs were tired. She thought about it. I think I can only go home.

I have nowhere to go.

So she was about to turn around and walk back, but suddenly she was knocked unconscious from behind and fell to the ground.

The next day, Shen Xiaoyu got up as usual to make breakfast and prepare lunch for his father and sister. Then he asked Shen Xiaoli to get up and went to the entrance of the village with a basket on his back to wait for Old Man Gen's oxcart.The two sisters had reached the entrance of the village and passed the village head's house. They saw Zheng, He Xiu, and several villagers talking under the tree. Zheng looked a little pale.

When Shen Xiaoyu saw Mrs. Zheng, he lost interest in gossiping and led Shen Xiaoli forward, a few steps further than where he usually waited for the bullock cart.

She didn't want so many people in the village to see her going to Huali County and turn around to ask questions, thinking she made a lot of money and making sarcastic remarks.

They waited for a while, and old man Gen drove a bullock cart slowly from the other side.

Shen Xiaoyu rides on Old Man Gen's oxcart almost every day and is already quite familiar with Old Man Gen, so now she only gives money when she arrives in Huali County.

Sometimes old man Gen would pull her directly to the door of the hospital or to the place where the stall was set up, and Shen Xiaoyu would give him an extra penny or some delicious food.

After the two sisters got in the car, old man Gen hadn't started yet and was still parked very close to the door of the village chief's house. You could hear what Zheng and the villagers were saying.

He Xiu spotted the Shen sisters and immediately greeted them warmly.

"Little fishing girl! Are you going to the county so early?"

Shen Xiaoyu couldn't hide, so he nodded politely, and then said to old man Gen: "Uncle Gen, aren't you leaving yet? Are you waiting for someone else?"

"Yes, I met Bei He last night. He said he would go to the county today and asked me to give him a lift. Don't you live across the street? Have you met him?"

Shen Xiaoyu didn't know that Gu Beihe was going to the county today, so he had to wait for him.

When Old Man Gen saw so many people in front of the village chief's house, he got off the oxcart and went over to listen to the gossip with his hands behind his back.

They were saying that Jadeite was missing.
