Yang Huamei smiled helplessly: "Mother, don't overturn a whole boat of people with one pole. Sister Cuihua has been busy these past two days and she has tried her best."

"Bah, that's what she should do. She is atoneing for Wang Chunhua and the old Wang family. It was no exaggeration to be a horse back then!"

Yang Huamei knew that she couldn't convince Tan, and that talking too much would be bad. She could only shake her head helplessly, "Put the fish aside for now. I'll get to it later."

Then he turned around and talked to Sun and the others about other things to change the subject.

Yang Huamei poured tea for everyone. They opened the window, let the wind blow in, and talked around the table by the window.

Mainly, Mrs. Sun was asking about Yang Huamei's situation in the past two days, whether she slept well, etc. Common greeting topics.

"My health has obviously improved in the past few days. With my mother by my side, I can obviously do the cooking, washing and washing, but Shuanzi is rushing to do it and won't let me help at all."

"Today, I sent him to the school very early in the morning. In order to stay at home and look after me, he was delayed in the school for many days in order to find Dabai."

When Yang Huamei said this, she glanced at Yang Ruoqing very embarrassedly.

The school was run by the Luo family, and Yang Ruoqing arranged Shuanzi's leisurely job of going to the school.

After being delayed for so many days, Qing'er didn't even say a word of blame, and the wages were still paid. I was really sorry.

Yang Ruoqing understood what Yang Huamei meant and smiled faintly at her, "It's understandable under special circumstances."

Yang Huamei was grateful and felt even more apologetic.

"As for Dabai, it's been six or seven days and there's still no news at all. I just can't think about it. Whenever I think about it, I feel so uncomfortable." Yang Huamei continued.

Everyone else around the table sighed and frowned.

Only Yang Ruoqing's expression remained normal and she said lightly: "Auntie, don't worry. We know you are a fourteen-year-old boy and you can't throw it away."

Yang Huamei grimaced, "That's the truth. I also know that he knows the way home, but what I'm worried about is that he got into trouble outside and was locked up."

"What is the purpose of being locked up?" Yang Ruoqing asked again.

Yang Huamei was stunned for a moment.

Mr. Tan was drinking tea when he suddenly touched the lid of the bowl lightly and said solemnly: "I know what the purpose is. When I was young, I lived with that old man in the county town for a while. Didn't I hear that?

Less new things outside."

Everyone turned their attention to Ms. Tan, expecting her to reveal the truth to everyone.

"At that time, there was a wealthy family in the county who had a stupid son. He went out for an outing in March and never came back. Only the servant came back."

"The servant was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He brought back a message from the kidnapper, saying that he would be released only after the family raised fifty taels of silver and delivered it at the agreed time and place."

The color Yang Huamei had gained in the past two days instantly faded away, and she said with a pale face: "Mom, don't scare me. Could it be that Dabai has also been kidnapped? I can't even think about it."

Tan curled her lips and sneered in Yang Huamei's direction: "What I mean is, Dabai must not have been kidnapped. Go out and ask, which of the kidnapped children is not a child of a wealthy family? If it is like the Luo family's child...

"

Yang Ruoqing slammed the tea bowl in her hand on the table, and her tone became colder: "Mistress, if you want to compare it to someone else's child, don't compare it to my child. I don't like that!"

Mr. Tan was stunned for a moment, this damn fat girl, wasn't she just making a comparison? As for making such a fuss?

Be careful!

Mrs. Sun coughed slightly and said nothing, but her face clearly told everyone sitting that she, like Yang Ruoqing, did not agree with Ms. Tan's comparison of the Luo family's children, which was unlucky.

Yang Huamei glanced at Yang Ruoqing and said hurriedly: "Mom, just talk about it, let's talk about my family, don't talk about other people's family, I understand what you mean."

Since she understood, Mrs. Tan continued.

"It's unlikely that Dabai was kidnapped. What's the purpose of kidnapping him? To take advantage of this three-acre land of Lao Wang's family?" Tan asked again.

Yang Huamei smiled awkwardly, "Even if we sell several acres of land at home, we still won't be able to get fifty taels of silver."

Mrs. Tan clapped her hands together and said, "Let's get over it then. No one with any sense would kidnap Dabai. Not only would he not be able to exchange money, but he would also have to provide food for him. A young man like me would have to live in poverty!"

Yang Huamei thought about it, and Dabai was so big. He was taller, stronger, and cunning. It was a bit difficult to tie him up and trap him.

"Then, as Zhao Niang said, if Dabai doesn't come back these days, where will he be?" She asked tentatively.

Tan thought for a moment, "He still had Wang Hongquan's fifty cents with him when he left. Even if he saves some money, he will definitely spend it all by now."

"If you haven't come back yet, there are two possibilities. You can pick up rotten vegetable leaves under the overpass and eat them to spite your family, or you can find a place to stay and have a job to take care of food and drink."

"Dabai has never experienced hardship. If he picks up rotten vegetable leaves and eats them, he will run back within two days. This is too difficult. It is 80% more likely that he will find a job."

"Find a job? If that were the case, I would wake up laughing in my dream!" Yang Huamei raised her hand to cover her heart, she simply couldn't imagine that such a wonderful thing would happen.

"Auntie, I really got it right. Dabai has indeed found a job." Yang Ruoqing said coldly.

"What? Dabai really found a job? Qing'er, are you not mistaken? Where is it? What job is it?" Yang Huamei was so shocked that she almost knocked over the tea bowl in front of her.

The Tan family, Sun family, and Bao Suyun also paid attention to Yang Ruoqing, and the Tan family was no less excited than Yang Huamei.

"Dabai has studied in school and has a smart mind, so he may be in a good position," said Tan.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Have you all heard of Zhang Ji, a time-honored breakfast shop in town?"

Yang Huamei nodded frantically, "I've heard of it, and I've even eaten the steamed buns from that store. It tastes so good!"

"Dabai works as a waiter at Zhangji." Yang Ruoqing said immediately.

Yang Huamei was surprised and happy, "Ah? Be a waiter? Is he willing to be a waiter? He was not happy to let him go to Tianxiang Tower to be a waiter..."

Yang Ruoqing smiled and then said: "The monk from the outer temple is very fond of chanting sutras. He has been doing this in Zhangji for several days."

"Qing'er, are you sure you read it correctly?" Yang Huamei leaned over, grabbed Yang Ruoqing's hand, and asked again excitedly.

Yang Ruoqing nodded, "No, the person I sent has confirmed again and again that it is Dabai."

Yang Huamei was so happy that she smiled crookedly. All the strength she had lost in the past few days came back in an instant. She stood up from the stool and danced with excitement.

"It's great, great, Dabai is not lost, and he has found a job and is working hard!"
