Chapter 419: Chapter 418: (6 more updates)

Xu Niannian and Jin Yu were nearly going insane searching for Yang Cuihua and Xu Duoyu, while the two they were looking for were currently squatting on the sidewalk with confused expressions.

Yang Cuihua pulled Xu Duoyu back into her arms, "Bunny brat, we’re doomed. Your mom doesn’t recognize the way home and even forgot to bring money."

Dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Yang Cuihua rushed to the capital, thinking that since she had stayed in Nancheng County, she could just ask about the place upon opening her mouth, and came unprepared.

The crucial mistake was forgetting to ask for the address. After getting off the train, she realized she was at a loss.

She just started asking people, "Do you know Xu Niannian? My daughter."

People looked back at her as if she were crazy.

Yang Cuihua was in trouble. She was so rushed coming here that she didn’t bring any money. After buying the train ticket, she had only one dollar left, which she spent on food for the little bunny brat on the train.

Xu Duoyu, held in a daze by Yang Cuihua, heard her say she didn’t bring any money, and his little face puffed up with a sly smile, his chubby hand cradling Yang Cuihua’s face with an expression as if offering up treasure.

"Mom, Duoyu has money."

Yang Cuihua spat in disbelief, pinched Xu Duoyu’s chubby cheeks and twisted them, "You and what money? Meat maybe. Come, let Mom have a bite, I’m hungry."

Yang Cuihua loved to scare Xu Duoyu. Hearing this, Xu Duoyu’s chubby face slimmed down from fright, "Mom, Duoyu really has money."

He hurriedly wriggled out of Yang Cuihua’s embrace, the effort making his hands reach behind his back to dig into his hat.

Xu Duoyu, being chubby and with short arms, couldn’t reach it. Seeing him twisting his body into a pretzel, Yang Cuihua pulled him back, "Quit it or I’ll sell you. You weren’t picked up, behave yourself."

Xu Duoyu’s little face puffed out, looking wronged as he said, "Stepmother, I really do have money."

When Yang Cuihua heard him call her stepmother, she heaved a "hey" and raised her hand as if to slap Xu Duoyu, "You’ve become bold, still calling me stepmother. I will slap you silly."

Scared, Xu Duoyu clung to her hand, his eyes rolling around. After starting preschool and mingling with other kids, Xu Duoyu had become much braver.

The reason he called Yang Cuihua stepmother was because she told him he was picked up.

Many kids in his class claimed they were picked up and had to call their moms stepmother.

To call one’s own mother stepmother usually made her laugh.

He didn’t expect his mother to actually want to beat him for it.

Yang Cuihua raised her hand and gave Xu Duoyu’s butt a couple of smacks, still thinking Xu Duoyu was lying, trying to teach him a lesson, "How dare you lie in front of your mother? You say you have money, where is it then, bunny brat?"

Xu Duoyu pointed backward with his hand, his large round eyes wide open, "In the hat."

"In the hat?" Yang Cuihua didn’t believe him and wanted to expose his lie, pulling him over and rummaging through the hat, shouting, "Where is it, where is it?"

And as she grabbed, she indeed found money.

Yang Cuihua was a bit stunned. She roughly pulled him over, digging into the rim of the hat, and upon seeing a big pile of scattered money, her eyes widened in surprise.

She initially thought that Xu Duoyu stole the money on the train, and her face immediately turned sour.

"Where did this money come from?" She said, her face like a tiger’s, as if she was going to snap Xu Duoyu in two if he couldn’t explain the money properly.

Xu Duoyu gigglingly covered his mouth and, with his round belly sticking out, said, "Picked it up, from home."

Pointing at Yang Cuihua, he added, "The stepmother dropped it, in the store."

Hearing stepmother again, Yang Cuihua almost smacked his bottom.

But after hearing his explanation, she remembered where the money came from.

So it turned out she had dropped it in the store herself.

And this rascal had picked it up.

With money in hand, they could go eat and stay in a hotel.

Yang Cuihua grabbed Xu Duoyu and kissed him fiercely on the face, "My dear son."

And she corrected him, "Don’t call me stepmother next time, or I’ll spank you."

Kissed by Yang Cuihua, Xu Duoyu’s little face flushed with pleasure, but he still retorted, "Duoyu was picked up."

Yang Cuihua was taken aback and frowned, "Even so, you can’t call me stepmother."

This was the little scamp she had given birth to.

How could he call her stepmother?

Now with money to spend, Yang Cuihua took Xu Duoyu out for a delicious meal.

As the sky darkened, she couldn’t help but worry aloud, "Bunny brat, how could your mom be so foolish to forget to ask for the address, hey, so stupid."

Xu Duoyu, who was busy eating his noodles, replied while stuffing his mouth, responding to Yang Cuihua, "Stupid."

Suddenly being echoed, Yang Cuihua’s face turned dark immediately, and she slapped Xu Duoyu on the head, "You sure know how to chime in. Too bad it won’t kill you for being too smart."

Xu Duoyu, despite being hit, didn’t forget to quickly stuff the dumpling from his spoon into his mouth.

The epitome of a foodie.

After finishing, he didn’t forget to critique, "It’s not as delicious as the dishes my sister makes."

Hearing this, Yang Cuihua was extremely pleased, "Of course, did you think your sister’s cooking skills are something anyone could match?"

Yang Cuihua was a typical loudmouth; after she finished shouting, the small shop owner glared at her unhappily.

Luckily, Yang Cuihua didn’t see it, otherwise there would have been a scene right there in the shop.

But the small shop owner had already signaled them to leave.

"Finished eating? If you’re done, get moving, the shop is closing."

Just in time, as Xu Duoyu had also finished eating. Yang Cuihua, who was rather carefree, didn’t pick up on the owner’s displeasure, and with a shove to Xu Duoyu, slung one arm behind her back and counted out the money to give to the owner.

On the other hand, Xu Niannian and Jin Yu had been looking for Yang Cuihua for a long while and still hadn’t found her.

Xu Niannian was totally panicked.

If it were someone else, Xu Niannian could remain calm and analyze the situation, but now it was her mother and brother involved, how could she possibly stay cool-headed?

"Jin Yu, what should we do? Do you think Mom could have been kidnapped?"

Human traffickers who abduct people were most common at the station, and Xu Niannian feared Yang Cuihua might have been deceived and taken away.

After searching for a few hours without success, Jin Yu was also very worried but felt Yang Cuihua couldn’t possibly have been fooled.

"Let’s go check out the place we’re staying, ask at each one. Don’t panic, with Mom’s temperament, no one can deceive her."

Xu Niannian also thought that her mother’s personality was not easy to deceive, but when it came to her own family, even a slight possibility was magnified endlessly.

But what if? What if something had happened?

Nobody could be sure.

"Does our mom hesitate to spend money or not?" Jin Yu asked.

Xu Niannian knew Jin Yu was figuring out where Yang Cuihua might go and didn’t dare to delay, "She hesitates; my mom has lived through tough times, even if she has money, she won’t be wasteful."

Upon hearing this, Jin Yu immediately had an idea.

Yang Cuihua had brought Xu Duoyu here, and it had already been more than a dozen hours at the station. If she knew their address, she wouldn’t have failed to look for it.

Eliminating the possibility of accidents, Yang Cuihua wouldn’t take a bus without knowing the destination.

Therefore, she would definitely have walked.

And if walking, when choosing a hostel, she would surely choose one along the way.

Leaving the station, there were three roads.

There were moderately sized hostels on all three roads, so Jin Yu straightforwardly spent some money to hire two groups of people to go inquire along the other two roads, checking if any hostel had guests named Yang Cuihua and who were accompanied by a child.

If found, they were to wait at the first junction from the station without delay, to avoid missing them.

He, on the other hand, took Xu Niannian to search on the remaining road.

The two asked around as they went.

Yang Cuihua was out with Xu Duoyu late at night by the roadside when finally some troublemakers set their sights on them.

Yang Cuihua had not yet found a suitable hostel when suddenly a chatterbox of a woman came over, asking her very enthusiastically, "Oh, sis, why are you still wandering around here late at night, not staying in a hostel?"

Yang Cuihua was sharp-witted; seeing the shifty-eyed look of the woman as she glanced across to the other side of the road, she knew the woman was up to no good.

She didn’t call her out; instead, she bluntly retorted, "You nosy old hag, I’m sleeping on the streets, not staying in a hostel, why ask such silly questions."

The face of that woman immediately reflected a rainbow of expressions, quite the spectacle.

Biting back her frustration, she said, "Sis, it’s really a coincidence, I’m also looking for a hostel to stay in, how about we keep each other company? Don’t worry, I’ll pay half, so you won’t be spending for nothing."

Yang Cuihua glanced at her, eyelids drooping, and curled her lip in dismissal, "My kid likes it clean, can’t stand any smells, you’ve got too much body odor for him to handle, better not."

Since there were still many people on the street and some shops remained open, the woman did not dare to be violent and only thought of deceiving her.

Offended by the straightforward rebuke, the trafficker’s face soured significantly.

"Please, sis, I’m really scared on my own."

Yang Cuihua was bold, but not reckless. Knowing these people certainly had accomplices, she headed straight into the upscale-looking hotel ahead, deciding to stay there for the night.
