Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 1628 - 1630: Searching for Someone in Nanshan

The Village Chief, upon hearing that Li Chuntao was missing, immediately gathered the villagers.

No matter what status Li Chuntao held, losing a person in Yang Family’s village was a serious matter. Furthermore, Li Chuntao was the one who established the Academy. If she couldn’t be found, wouldn’t the Academy be doomed?

Soon, the old Yang Family courtyard was packed with people.

The labor force from each household came.

The Village Chief spoke, "Miss Li from Hope Academy is missing, didn’t return home, and her maid said she might have gone to Nanshan. So we are calling everyone together today to search Nanshan for her."

At this moment, Alu bowed deeply to everyone, "I beg you all, regardless of whether you find her or not, our Li Family will surely reward you greatly."

Whether the reward is significant or not, since the Village Chief is calling, everyone must go. Moreover, Li Chuntao founded the Academy, and every family has sent their children there. If she can’t be found, perhaps the Academy would be doomed, so everyone clearly understands the gravity of the situation.

Everyone nodded in agreement, expressing that they would certainly give their best effort.

The Village Chief then organized everyone to prepare torches, and the search party started heading towards Nanshan.

The old and weak stayed home waiting.

Alu, a young girl worried about her mistress, remained restless, unable to return, so Xiaoxiao kept her at the old Yang Family’s house.

Inside the house

Yang Gang’s wife complained, "Mother, look at this. I told you Xiaocui wasn’t reliable. You insisted she could work. And now, see what she’s done. Always crying poor and asking for things, what kind of person is that? Just like her mother, borrowing Silver, borrowing five taels!

"And what’s with her always going up the mountain? How did she get involved with Yang Daniu?"

Yang Ming’s mother listened to her daughter-in-law silently, feeling ashamed. She didn’t expect Xiaocui to be like this, only thinking her son wouldn’t find a wife. Anxious, she couldn’t see clearly anymore.

At this moment, Yang Qiu also spoke, "Actually, Xiaocui mentioned the silver hairpin casually to me. I think she was fond of it, so she hinted about it. I told fourth brother to watch out for Xiaocui’s character. But the next day, fourth brother went and bought a silver hairpin for Xiaocui."

Upon hearing this, the second daughter-in-law spoke again, "Mother, do you hear that? Listen, what kind of person Xiaocui is. In my opinion, once fourth brother returns, we must cancel this engagement."

Listening to the family’s complaints, the old Yang father spoke, "Second and third daughter-in-law, go to Xiaocui’s house to see if Xiaocui is back. Also, check Yang Daniu’s house to see if he returned."

The villagers went to Nanshan to search, but the old Yang father only told the Village Chief that Li Chuntao was missing and left out the matter of his own fourth son. He kept this in mind, planning to talk about it once the person is found. But for now, no one knows if two people are missing, best not to let everyone think too much.

If his fourth son really left after seeing Yang Daniu, then Yang Daniu’s whereabouts are also crucial.

Furthermore, Li Chuntao’s maid said Li Chuntao left because she noticed Xiaocui going up the mountain, so it’s essential to check whether Xiaocui returned.

Looking around the room, only the second and third families were reliable; his own wife was too weak, and the oldest family was just like his own wife.
