Chapter 94: The Child Is Missing
CHAPTER 94: CHAPTER 94: THE CHILD IS MISSING
The Yu family’s eldest daughter-in-law, Wu Fangfang, glanced at her mother-in-law’s room: "You heard it right, do you think Aunt Lyu is asking for the two hundred bucks of the bride price back?"
The Yu family’s second daughter-in-law, Wan Rongjuan, was a bit flustered: "Looking at Aunt Lyu like this, it’s quite possible. Xinyan is out to ruin us, she’s truly an ungrateful wretch."
The two sisters-in-law exchanged glances and quietly huddled outside their mother-in-law’s window, hoping to eavesdrop on the conversation inside.
They happened to hear Granny Lyu’s words: "This can’t just be overlooked. It was agreed back then that the two hundred bucks wouldn’t have to be returned, it was considered as your family’s bride price. If the divorce is real, that bride price must be returned."
Yu’s mother was dumbfounded: "We haven’t received any letter. Xinyan, that girl, grew up under your watch; she wouldn’t dare do it. This must be some kind of misunderstanding."
Granny Lyu knew exactly what Yu’s mother was thinking: "My son wouldn’t joke about this, and besides, it doesn’t cost anything to make a call, saying it lightly."
Yu’s mother saw that Granny Lyu wouldn’t listen to reason and got angry: "We haven’t gotten any news; it can’t just be whatever you say it is. This matter must be clarified face-to-face. I know Xinyan’s temperament better than you."
The two started bickering in the room.
In the end, after a few days of fussing, the two families decided to go to the Mechanical Factory in person.
Initially, Yu’s mother was reluctant to spend money on the train fare, but after Granny Lyu whispered a few words to her, she changed her mind.
So, Yu’s father and Yu’s mother boarded the train to Sanyuan City with the Lyu Family.

He Jinxuan had already returned to work, and it was not until noon that Yu Xinyan found out: "Director He, I will move out as soon as possible."
Thinking about the three months’ wages she had received, but only worked for less than two months: "There are three days left to complete two months. I’ll just finish the two months, complete your clothes, and return the wages for the remaining month to you."
He Jinxuan initially wanted to say something to make her stay, but seeing Yu Xinyan already busy with her work, coupled with the fear of startling the fair lady, he couldn’t utter a single word.
Yu Xinyan, not hearing him speak, assumed unilaterally that He Jinxuan had agreed.
In the afternoon, Yu Xinyan borrowed scissors from the Cheng Family’s Sister-in-law and deftly finished cutting two children’s clothes.
As she stepped out to call Ye Silai and Ye Siyan to drink water, she didn’t see them in the courtyard and panicked.
She had repeatedly warned them not to leave the courtyard without permission these days, and without thinking about anything else, she rushed to the gate to find them.
Seeing a few children playing at the street corner, she quickly ran over: "Have you seen Sili and Siyan?"
One little girl looked at Yu Xinyan: "Sis, I saw them go that way with Niqiu."
As she spoke, she pointed in a direction.
That direction was towards the back mountain of the Mechanical Factory, where there was a small gate at the back for convenient access to the mountain.
Yu Xinyan’s head buzzed.
She didn’t even bother locking the house and happened to see Lin Aifeng coming out of the Zhang Family, grabbed her hand directly: "Aifeng, do me a favor, go to the Security Division and tell them Sili and Siyan are missing.
Some kids in the courtyard saw them heading with Niqiu towards the back mountain. Ask them to quickly take people up the mountain to search, it’s urgent, I’m counting on you."
After saying this, she ran towards the back.
Lin Aifeng thought: Most of the kids in the courtyard have been to the back mountain, what’s the rush, but seeing Yu Xinyan’s expression and her quickly disappearing figure, she was a bit confused.
