Chapter 285: Chapter 286 Where did Guibao go? 2

Ma Xiulian was so worried about her granddaughter that she didn’t notice the signs of something amiss.

Guibao was usually so well-behaved, she would always come home at meal time and would tell her before going anywhere.

It was impossible for her to suddenly disappear without a word!

Could she have gone to play by the river?

In the depth of winter, what if she accidentally fell in...

Or could she have gone to play at the foot of the mountain?

During the winter, hungry bears may appear in the mountains!

The more Ma Xiulian thought about it, the more frightened she got. She forcefully slapped the table, shouting, "Guibao is missing! Everyone, go look for her!"

At her words, all the people in the Chen Family sat in stunned silence.

Was it really necessary for the entire family to go out just because she had not returned for lunch?

They had just started eating!

Zhou Zhaodi thought her mother-in-law was overreacting and tried to soothe her, saying, "Mum, kids often lose track of time when they’re playing. Don’t worry too much."

Erbao also used to play outside and forget meal times when he was young. He would come back when he realized he was hungry.

Liu Lanzhi added, "Mum, Guibao is always so well-behaved and sensible, she definitely wouldn’t have left the village."

Seeing her mother-in-law so anxious and worried, Lanzhi couldn’t help but sigh. Her mother-in-law really carried a deep affection for her little niece.

Li Chunhua muttered under her breath, "While we’re going hungry searching for her, she might be feasting away at the Gu Family’s place."

Ma Xiulian sternly retorted, "If you don’t want to go, I will go myself!".

Sanni quickly spoke up, "Granny, I will go with you."

The next moment, Chen Dazhu stood up abruptly and shouted, "Let’s go! Everyone go look. Don’t come back until you find her!"

With both her parents speaking up, even though Li Chunhua was reluctant, she had no choice but to get up like everyone else.

"Old eldest daughter-in-law and old fifth daughter-in-law stay at home. If Guibao returns, let her stay at home."

Ma Xiulian swiftly allocated tasks, "Eldest son, you go check the back hill. Second son’s family, go to the river. Third one’s family, check the small woodland. Fifth, go to the village entrance. Your father and I will check by the power plant. Hurry, all of you."

"Alright, we will go right away. Mum, don’t worry, nothing bad will happen to Guibao."

Everyone else was infected by her nervousness and also became anxious. They all quickly left to look for the missing child in their assigned areas.

Only Li Chunhua dawdled on the road. With a negative attitude and a string of complaints, she grumbled, "Damn girl! Made me leave without finishing my meal, I’m starving! Our commune is not big, where could she have gone? Besides, now that she’s been adopted by the fourth, what does it have to do with our family if she gets lost!"

In her mind, it wouldn’t be bad if the damn girl never came back, as it would mean more food and meat left at home!

Hearing her talk like this, Chen Jianye chastised her with a stern face, "Li Chunhua, are you even being human? Even if Guibao was adopted by the fourth, she still would have called us uncle and aunt!"

Seeing him get angry, Li Chunhua immediately cowered, "I was just saying. It’s not like I’m not going to look."

If her father-in-law and mother-in-law found out, they would definitely not let her off.

"Have you seen my Guibao?" Ma Xiulian asked everyone along the road.

"No!"

Everyone said they hadn’t seen her. The power plant was located at the outermost edge of the commune, and on the way to the town you had to pass by the village entrance.

Today was the first day of the new year, everyone in the commune was resting at home, there was nobody working near the village entrance, so naturally, no one saw the Gu Family taking Guibao into the town.

Ma Xiulian became more and more frantic the more she heard!
