Chapter 433 Nemesis
"The tea is here." Zhao Cunliang held the tea listlessly, with a look of reluctance on his face, and placed the teacup heavily on the table. With a dull "bang", the tea splashed out. After putting it down, he stood sideways.
"Why are you standing there? This family doesn't want idle people. Go and chop some firewood!" Cuihua held a cup of tea in her hand, raised her head slightly, and glanced at Zhao Cunliang.
Tian Guilan fiddled with the wall in the corner for a long time, scraping the frost off the wall with great effort, muttering to herself about this inexplicable thing.
Suddenly, she seemed to be hit on the head by something, her face changed instantly, and she slapped her thigh, then she remembered something extremely important.
It was all because she was frightened by Cuihua's ferocious look just now that she completely forgot such a crucial thing. She ran back to the yard, holding the bowl of white frost tightly in her hand.
"Lamei, Yingchun, where is my son?" Tian Guilan stopped breathlessly, staring straight at Lamei and Yingchun. At this moment, she seemed to have found the confidence to be righteous.
Zhao Cunliang straightened up after hearing this, and he echoed loudly, "Yes, you must hand over Dafu Dagui. These are two lives! You must give an explanation today, otherwise this matter will not end!"
After hearing this, Lamei seemed a little confused: "What are you talking about? How would our family know where the rich and powerful are? He is your biological son, not my mother's son. How could we possibly know where they are? Are you confused? Why are you asking us for no reason?"
Yingchun nodded vigorously and continued, "That's right. You don't even think your own son is a good one, but now you're asking others for one. How can that be justified? Shouldn't you worry about your own children yourself? We're not with the rich and powerful, so how can we possibly know where they are? Don't get the wrong person."
Tian Guilan's face turned pale with anger as she said viciously, "Da Fu and Da Gui went to the bamboo forest yesterday and haven't come back yet! They usually like to hang around in that bamboo forest. That bamboo forest belongs to you. Who else can I ask for help besides you?"
Zhao Cunliang also shouted angrily, "That's right! The person disappeared near your Zhushan Mountain. This is an ironclad fact! That mountain is under your mother's name. If it's not you, then whose responsibility is it? If you can't hand him over today, we will really report him to the police! Then, let's see how you end up!"
When they heard that they were going to report to the police, Lamei and Yingchun's faces turned pale instantly. Luo Jingan, the magistrate of Qinghe County, was not a good person.
Last time, he coveted my second sister's beauty and tried to force her to be his concubine. If my mother hadn't led everyone in a desperate resistance, my second sister would have fallen into the clutches of that evil man long ago.
If the county magistrate caught her this time, her mother would probably be thrown into jail for no reason and suffer the consequences. Thinking of this, the two sisters' hearts instantly rose to their throats.
Lamei subconsciously tightened her grip on the handkerchief, her fingers turning white from the force. Yingchun's hands were also trembling slightly, and she kept rubbing the handkerchief. The panic on both of their faces was evident.
Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan took in the sisters' panic and couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. They glanced at each other, their lips curling up slightly.
Zhao Cunliang straightened his back, with the smugness on his face becoming more and more obvious. Tian Guilan sneered and said sarcastically: "Hmph, you are scared now! Let's see how you can deny it." In their opinion, the sisters' panic was a manifestation of guilty conscience.
"If you can't hand over the people, you will be sued!" Zhao Cunliang pointed at Lamei and Yingchun with a fierce look on his face, as if he was sentencing the sisters to their "crimes."
He deliberately emphasized the word "lawsuit" in an attempt to make the two sisters submit.
"Lord Luo is very observant and will definitely make the decision for us." Tian Guilan was not to be outdone. She raised her head with a hint of pride on her face.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, Cuihua suddenly shouted, "Don't forget where you are from!"
After Cuihua shouted at them, Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan were like balloons that had been popped. They looked at each other, and their expressions immediately became flattering.
Zhao Cunliang put on a flattering smile and said softly to Cuihua, "My dear girl, no matter what, Dafu and Dagui are still your uncles. We are all family."
Tian Guilan quickly agreed, her voice cloyingly sweet: "Yes, dear child, we are just trying to scare them, there is no way we can really make a big deal out of it."
"Da Fu and Da Gui didn't come back all night, which made us very anxious. I met Aunt Wu this morning, and she told me that the two of them left after finishing their work yesterday morning and have not been seen since.
"My dear, we are really worried about you. Think about it, even though Dafu and Dagui are grown men, they haven't come home all night. It's dark and out in the wilderness. Who knows what might happen? What if they run into bandits or get lost in the mountains and get bumped into? What will happen then?" As she spoke, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand, and it seemed that a few tears of worry had really fallen.
Zhao Cunliang echoed, "That's right. We old couple haven't slept a wink all night, tossing and turning in worry. These two children, although they are usually a little naughty, are also our dearest children. If something really happened to them, how would we live? That's why we asked these girls, maybe they know something."
Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan were talking to each other, and they looked as if the sky was about to fall.
At this time, two small figures in the distance came over hand in hand, jumping and skipping.
Little Six and Little Seven, these two little chubby kids were still racking their brains to figure out what they had forgotten.
But they couldn't remember what they were doing out there, so they had to come over to see what their fourth sister Lamei and fifth sister Yingchun were doing.
They walked slowly into the yard and happened to hear what Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan were saying.
Little Six opened his big round eyes and looked at the two people who were talking curiously, while Little Seven frowned slightly, as if trying hard to understand the meaning of their words.
"What are you talking about?"
Accompanied by the clear and tender voices of children, Little Six and Little Seven suddenly appeared in front of Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan. This unexpected appearance frightened the two of them so much that they almost jumped up in shock.
Zhao Cunliang and Tian Guilan swallowed their saliva subconsciously. These two little guys were simply their nemesis. They had suffered two serious losses at the hands of these two little brats before.
