Chapter 153: Chapter 153: The Child is Missing

Before Su Jinxiu could speak, Su Miao continued crying: "I stayed at Auntie’s house for a while before, I’m grateful to you, but I also worked for you. I did household chores as well, and later when you chased me away, I didn’t complain to my dad. Why are you so relentless? You beat me in the middle of the night, accusing me of seducing Uncle! How am I supposed to live in the village if you say that about me? I know you’re pregnant and not in a good mood, but you can’t treat me like this! I don’t want to live anymore!"

She said she was about to hit the low wall of the house.

The crowd gasped in shock, and Ding Qiuyue quickly intervened to stop her. The mother and daughter cried together: "What are you talking about!"

"Mom, it hurts so much! I’m from the village, does that mean Auntie isn’t from the village? Always assuming the village women want to seduce her husband!"

Su Minjian frowned without speaking, looking at his sister.

Su Jinxiu felt faint, almost passing out, this wretch! Spoke out first, now if I say she seduced my husband no one will believe it!

Zhao Yingjun, with a stern face, turned and slapped Su Jinxiu: "What do you take me for? A beast in human skin? How can I enter this house? We’re husband and wife, and you insult me like this?!" No matter the thoughts, it’s unacceptable for the wife to speak them out directly, especially in front of so many people.

Su Jinxiu staggered from the slap, her mind quickly clearing. She dared not say more, only covered her face and cried.

The neighbors watching saw Su Jinxiu standing there so fierce, broader and taller, cursing, while Su Miao stood in front petite and delicate, pitiful, thinking Su Jinxiu was shameless.

Su Minjian waved his hand: "It’s all a laugh, huh? Everyone’s drunk, and it’s gotten noisy. No big deal, hurry home, it’s quite cold, head back quickly!"

"Village chief, you should head back too, it’s pretty cold." The crowd couldn’t say much and went back together.

All thinking how Su Jinxiu had changed in the city, treating her niece so harshly, looking down on villagers? Aren’t you from the village too!

After everyone left, Su Minjian said: "Alright, go back inside."

"Brother!" Sun Jinxiu began crying in grievance.

"Enough!" Su Minjian said: "I’m glad you visited, but you’re busy too, with New Year’s around the corner, I need to give money and gifts to villagers, I don’t have time to entertain you. Head back tomorrow morning." He didn’t expect his daughter suffered so much at Sun Jinxiu’s house, even being chased away.

But Su Miao hadn’t said anything, truly understanding, yet Su Jinxiu was too out of line!

Seeing her brother treating her so coldly, Sun Jinxiu felt even more wronged, why doesn’t anyone believe me!

Zhao Yingjun held Su Jinxiu, eyes full of warning: "Say one more word and I’ll divorce you! Head back tomorrow, you’ve disgraced me completely!" He finished and left, not returning to his room, instead going to his brother-in-law’s to apologize.

Su Jinxiu trudged back to the room, heart in turmoil.

She was the one being bullied! How could Su Miao turn it around with just a few words? No one believes me! Fine, I’ll leave tomorrow, anyway I bore Zhao Yingjun a son, if he wants a divorce, it’s a delusion!

Crying, she returned to the room, slipping off her shoes climbing onto the bed, but as soon as she lay down, she remembered something, where is my son?!

She immediately sat up, then her mind buzzed, the small blanket where her son was supposed to be still there, but the quilt and the child were gone!

Su Jinxiu screamed and rushed out.

Zhao Yingjun was apologizing to Su Minjian: "It’s all Xiu’er’s fault, we actually came to apologize this time, she’s been unstable since pregnancy..."

"Never mind uncle, it’s nothing, I understand auntie." Su Miao wiped her tears: "No matter what, when I was in the city, you took good care of me. Both in money and material, you gave me plenty, I’m very grateful."

Zhao Yingjun smiled: "Don’t say that, it was necessary to do. Although your aunt didn’t do well."

This Su Miao was truly sly, saying things he couldn’t do anything about, how could he ask for the few hundred bucks back?

Su Miao kept her head down, secretly delighted, no need to pay back, he’d be embarrassed to ask, Su Jinxiu badmouthing me didn’t work, I won this time.

Then she thought of Gu Junming, how she easily dealt with others but had no way to handle him? It was infuriating!

Ding Qiuyue felt it was time to speak, surrounded by city leaders, couldn’t offend them too much, maybe Sha Wujing could be useful.

But before she could speak, the front door swung open with Su Jinxiu bursting in frantically.

Zhao Yingjun annoyed: "What’s wrong now?"

"The child, the child is gone! What do we do, the child was just stolen!" Su Jinxiu said and collapsed to the ground crying, completely exhausted.

The crowd stood shocked at her words. Zhao Yingjun quickly ran outside, back to his room, and sure enough! Large footprints on the bed, someone must’ve come in while everyone was outside, took the child and ran!

"What do we do! What do we do now!" Zhao Yingjun was startled.

Su Minjian hurriedly said: "It’s someone from this village, they can’t get far. I’ll mobilize villagers to stop them!"

He’s sharper than most, hence a village chief.

The couple just arrived today, only a few knew there was a child at home, someone must’ve intended theft, saw the child and got tempted to steal. So it’s gotta be a local villager!

"Little brat, daring to steal our Su family’s child, risking his life! I’ll find them!"

Su Jinxiu cried a few times, eyes rolling, then fainted.

Zhao Yingjun didn’t care to comfort her, followed Su Minjian to find people.

Ding Qiuyue couldn’t hold Su Jinxiu alone, called Su Miao for help.

Su Miao glanced at Su Jinxiu in disgust: "Always causing trouble!"

"Alright, didn’t the child go missing? It’s your fault too, if you hadn’t quarreled with her, would this have happened?"

Su Miao listened and frowned without speaking.

Ding Qiuyue added: "If the child is found then it’s fine, but if not, expect Su Jinxiu to hate you for life! You’re always my worry!"
