CHAPTER 914: CHAPTER 916: DID THAT FAMILY OF THREE LEAVE?

Little Shitou took the portrait, looked at it carefully, and finally shook his head, "Never seen."

Xiaoxiao wasn’t too disappointed, she figured this would be the outcome.

Little Shitou then looked up, "But, Auntie, this lady is really pretty."

Xiaoxiao smiled. The appearance of the Yang Family people varied widely; the father-in-law was handsome, while the mother-in-law was plain, even somewhat ugly.

The eldest, Yang Chun, and the second, Yang Gang, took after their mother and were quite ordinary-looking.

The third, Yang Ming, and the fourth, Yang Dong, resembled their father and were more handsome.

The two daughters, Yang Xia and Yang Qiu, inherited the father’s best traits and were indeed good-looking.

A few people in the yard were chatting idly, unaware that the strange man had approached. Suddenly, he snatched the portrait from Little Shitou, saying, "What a beauty, let me have a look!"

"..." Xiaoxiao was speechless. That guy was everywhere. But let him look; maybe he has a clue!

The man grabbed the portrait, glanced at it, and exclaimed, "Wow, she really is a beauty."

Hearing this, Xiaoxiao was at a loss for words. She realized she was silly to think this man would have any clues. She wanted to grab the portrait back, but the man held it high, "Girl, don’t snatch it, I haven’t finished looking."

Xiaoxiao couldn’t outmatch him, so she had to let him look. Moments later, the man returned the portrait to Xiaoxiao, "Beautiful, indeed, but still not as pretty as you, girl."

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at him, took the portrait, and went back into the house.

Seeing Xiaoxiao go inside, the strange man asked, "Who is the person in the portrait?"

Little Shitou answered honestly, "It’s Uncle’s sister. Uncle’s sister is missing, and Uncle and Auntie are looking for her."

The morning passed without much incident, and after lunch, Xiaoxiao accompanied the children to nap.

The other people, who weren’t in the habit of napping, stayed in the yard.

Just then, the Village Chief hurriedly entered the courtyard with a few others.

This made everyone in the yard more vigilant, considering the Village Chief had come to arrest people several times before.

"Oh my, Village Chief, what brings you here with your men again? You’re not here to arrest us, are you? Didn’t everything get cleared up? That strange illness was caused by your own people, it has nothing to do with us."

Upon hearing the Village Chief’s arrival, Shitou’s mother grew extremely nervous, fearing another unexpected event. After all, cremation used to be common in this village.

She asked tremblingly, "Village Chief, what brings you to our home?"

The Village Chief looked around and asked, "Did that family of three leave?"

"Oh my, you’re still thinking about catching that family of three? Village Chief, are you out of your mind? If it weren’t for that family of three providing carriages and silver, who knows how many of your villagers would have died? And how would they have had the chance to go to Medicine King Valley for treatment?"

"No, no, you misunderstand, we aren’t here to arrest anyone. Did that family of three leave?" the Village Chief quickly denied.

"Oh my, if you’re not here to arrest people, then what are you doing? Why are you specifically looking for that family of three?"

From inside the house, Xiaoxiao, half-asleep, heard the strange man chattering away in the yard.

Upon hearing the conversation, Xiaoxiao woke up instantly. Are they still trying to catch them?

In just half a day, there’s another twist. No wonder Yang Ming is eager to leave.

She quickly got up, opened the door, and asked, "Village Chief, what exactly do you intend to do now?"
