Splendid Twins

Chapter 127 Waiting for the One Who Can Wait

The villagers dispersed after hearing this. Si Yao supported Si Pozi and walked back. The grandfather and grandson walked very slowly. Si Pozi lowered her voice and asked:

"Brother Yao, what on earth is going on..."

"Don't ask so many questions. No matter who asks, just say that the child was taken away by a wild wolf."

Mrs. Si grabbed Si Yao's hand in panic:

"Brother Yao, please don't do anything immoral..."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. Let's go home."

Si Yao tried to comfort Mrs. Si perfunctorily, but he didn't take it seriously in his heart. What does it mean to do something immoral?

The little bastard's crying made him upset every day, so this was a good opportunity to get rid of the reputation that was implicated by Si Yao. He didn't expect that this method could do anything to her. Well, he just wanted to disgust her.

After he has dealt with that little bitch, Zhou Wan will fulfill her original promise. By then, he will transform himself into King Xiaoyao and change his family status. The family glory will be carried by him. Who will care about his immoral things? This is a good opportunity to follow the will of heaven!

He had long wanted to get rid of the little bastard, but he had no chance at the moment, so today he came...

He had seen the peddlers' methods in Beijing. At both ends of their carrying poles were specially made large wooden boxes, divided into two layers. Usually, the upper layer contained some flowery silk candies that attracted women and children. If they encountered "selling goods" or "buying goods", they would open the second layer.

The child would fall asleep as long as he touched a little bit of the candy. The peddler would seize the opportunity to hide the child on the next floor. When the child was not paying attention, he would return after selling the candy and pretend nothing had happened to continue hawking. His tactics were flawless...

The village chief also had concerns in his mind. If it was really a wild beast coming down from the mountain, how would the elderly, the weak, the women and the children in the village resist?

It would be good to go and ask. If there really is a wild beast, he would go to the county government to explain the situation and let the government solve it.

Si Lao Er was stunned when he saw the village chief at the door. He was a little slow to react when he heard that the child in the old courtyard was missing. Liu Niang, who was standing next to him, pushed him aside and stood out and said:

"Village Chief, what do you mean?"

"Oh, don't worry. There is really no clue about this matter. We have searched all over the village, but the child is nowhere to be found."

"Then report it to the police. How did you find my house?"

"Isn't this what everyone wants to know? Are there any wild animals on Yao girl's barren mountain? This matter has caused panic among the people..."

Liu Niang rolled her eyes and snorted coldly:

"Village chief, it's not that I'm unreasonable. My family lives at the foot of the mountain. Even if there are wild beasts, we will be the first to suffer. How come the wild beasts also pick on people? They specifically run to crowded places at the entrance of the village to snatch away children?"

"Besides, who saw the beast? The village is so busy today, it's possible that someone else came into the village and stole the child when no one was around."

After this reminder, the village chief clapped his hands and said:

"Look at my brain, I was confused for a moment. You are right. There are outsiders entering the village today. So, I will go and tell Si Yao first. I was reckless. Don't take it to heart."

Liu Niang said politely:

"You're here for good, and to remind us. I'd like to ask you to tell everyone that it's normal for wild animals to appear in the mountains, but my daughter's barren mountains are right under our noses. The wild animals are not stupid and only run to places where people live. Don't let the villagers complain about my daughter. The trees were planted for the good of the village. Don't let my daughter feel disappointed."

The village chief was so ashamed that he was confused for a moment. Why did he listen to Si Yao's words and end up being bullied by this woman?

"Don't worry about this. If anyone in the village dares to talk nonsense, I will be the first to disagree. Yao is a good girl. Please help me say a few words so that she won't take it to heart."

"Look at what you said, the girl is not a petty person."

The village chief felt that if he didn't leave, he would lose face, so he nodded:

"Then don't bother the girl while you guys are busy. I'll go take care of it first."

"Walk slowly."

After sending the village chief away, Liu Niang's face instantly turned cold, and she cursed Si Lao Er who was standing next to her without saying a word:

"What's wrong with you? People are coming to question you, and you're pretending to be dead!"

"What do you mean you're not talking, are you deaf?"

As Liu Niang approached step by step, Si Lao Er stepped back and said in a muffled voice:

"The child is gone, we have to ask..."

"What the hell are you asking? What does it have to do with us? Si Lao Er, I'm warning you one last time. If you encounter something involving my three children again and you can't bear the responsibility of being a father, we'll get divorced!"

Si Lao Er was also angered by Liu Niang's harsh words and said:

"Look at you, you don't look like a woman anymore. You speak in a bad tone. When someone asks me about this, I have to have a reaction."

Seeing this, Liu Niang was so angry that she punched Si Lao Er with her hand, tears welled up in her eyes, and she roared:

"I'm angry and mean? It's because you can't take responsibility. Are you worthy of Yaoyao? Are you worthy of me accompanying you through all these years of hardship?"

When Si Lao Er saw Liu Niang crying, he didn't say a word and just stood there in a daze. Several people in the yard heard the noise and ran out. They were stunned for a moment and didn't dare to say anything.

As soon as Si Qing came out, Si Yao followed behind him and asked:

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Liu Niang shed tears and said nothing. Si Qing looked at Si Lao Er with a gloomy face and said:

"Dad, I have something to tell you."

Si Lao Er felt a little embarrassed to be watched by the younger generation, and said angrily:

"Whatever you say, I'm busy."

Si Yao stood there without moving, a flash of coldness in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful expression.

Xiao Huzi and the others quietly went to the backyard, leaving only Si Yao's family. Liu Niang wiped her eyes and told the whole story in a hoarse voice. After listening, Si Qing spoke and concluded:

"There must be something fishy going on here. I guess the beast is just a cover..."

Si Yao said casually:

"He's just like a toad. He doesn't bite people but makes people sick. Why doesn't he come to me and tell me? I can't control his stinky mouth. Stop crying. It's not worth shedding tears for such a small matter."

"Yaoyao, Dad, Dad can't speak..."

"I have to go out for something, so I won't have dinner."

Si Lao Er was about to say something but was interrupted by Si Yao. From beginning to end, Si Yao did not even look at him!

Si Qing has always been sensitive. He noticed Si Yao's indifference at the first moment. Yaoyao must have been disappointed by his father's inaction, but as a son, he couldn't say anything to blame.

"Yaoyao, wait a minute. I'll accompany you. It's not safe at night."

"No, I can..."

"Come on, come on, I'm going with you."

Si Yao looked up at Si Qing, her eyes were calm and no emotion could be seen, but Si Qing intuitively knew that his sister was unhappy!

Si Yao turned around and walked out the door and up the mountain. Her eyes were deep. She didn't care whether Si Qing behind her could keep up or not. She just kept walking forward, sneering in her heart.

Having few relatives is a blessing in itself. What we should cultivate is to owe nothing. From now on, we should know how to be content and know what we lack. We should do what we can and should not do what we cannot. We should hope for what we can hope for and wait for people who can wait for us.
