Chapter 428: Chapter 428 Isn’t this a joke?
"You’re saying that Song Yu hasn’t returned to Li City?" Tong Yao felt perplexed, "Song Yu had a quarrel with Xiaohui, they even talked about divorce. They split up a while ago. Hasn’t he returned to Li City?"
"No, not at all!" Niu Airong subconsciously answered.
She previously thought her mother-in-law was overthinking, but suddenly she realized that things might indeed be wrong. Didn’t something really happen to Song Yu?
Song Wenhua anxiously asked, "When did Song Yu say he wanted a divorce with Xiaohui? Why didn’t we know anything about this?"
Tong Yao, filled with questions in her heart, honestly said, "It was during the time he called you. He had already had a divorce with Xiaohui. Later he said he was going to reconcile with Xiaohui, but since then I’ve never seen him again. He didn’t continue with his work either. I always thought he went back to Li City."
With Si Weimin backing Si Xiaohui, once she feels disillusioned with Song Yu, it’s definite he would separate from Si Xiaohui. Tong Yao thought Song Yu had given up and returned to Li City. She couldn’t imagine he actually hadn’t.
So where did Song Yu go?
As far as she knew, Song Yu might not have much money on him.
A grown man, can he just vanish into thin air?
"No!" Song Wenhua strangely said, "Song Yu never mentioned any of those, only saying that he switched his job to decoration, and he said once he makes it we can come over to make a fortune."
"However, Niu Airong was more focused on Song Yu’s quarrel and divorce with Si Xiaohui, "Why would Song Yu want to divorce Xiaohui? Weren’t they a good couple? They’ve been only married for such a short while! Why are they getting divorced again?"
Divorcing only half a year into the marriage, they would be harshly gossiped about in the countryside.
Isn’t this a joke?
"Honestly, I don’t really know." Tong Yao said truthfully, "I won’t hide this from you, Ahchen and I have been rather judgmental about Xiaohui and Song Yu eloping. So we haven’t been in contact with them. About their affairs, I only heard a bit from Song Yu when he was learning decoration opposite me. I only know that the night he left, he said he was going to find Xiaohui. But according to Xiaohui, Song Yu never contacted her, I thought he went back to Li City. Since then, I haven’t seen him."
"How can such a grown cheerful man suddenly disappear?" Song Wenhua, obviously an honest person, was full of confusion and worry after hearing what Tong Yao said.
Did Song Yu get lost and can’t find home?Yet that doesn’t seem right!
Song Yu is a graduate, though he doesn’t say much, at least he can read words.
Song Wenhua was surprised and bewildered that he couldn’t find anyone upon arrival. Niu Airong was decisive in comparison.
"Sister Tong Yao, can you give us Xiaohui’s address? We want to go and ask her about what actually happened. Grandma wanted us to find the person. If we go back without achieving anything, that’s not acceptable."
If they just return like this, grandma will certainly create a scene. The purpose of their trip was to find someone, they have to find the person first.
Song Yu was the only literate member of the family. Back then, his family even paid for his studentship. If something really happened to him, she doesn’t think grandma would be able to take that.
Seeing the couple, who seemed honest and uncomplaining even though they didn’t find Song Yu, Tong Yao was quite polite to them and agreed readily, "Sure, I’ll write down the address."
"Thank you so much."
The couple kept nodding their heads in excitement.
Tong Yao wrote down the address. The couple looked at it for a while. Their facial expressions became stranger and stranger. Tong Yao didn’t understand what was wrong. She asked curiously, "What’s the matter?"
Song Wenhua’s face flushed crimson with embarrassment while Niu Airong was slightly more blunt. She awkwardly laughed and said, "Sorry, sister, we are from the countryside and we’re illiterate."
Tong Yao: "..."
He thought Song Wenhua was educated. Never expected he never studied. There were many people back in rural areas who couldn’t afford to study. Tong Yao wasn’t exactly surprised.
"If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for us here for a while. We live close to their place, I can take you there." Tang Yao wasn’t really kind-hearted. The reason she offered to take them there was because it was indeed on her way.
Besides, the disappearance of Song Yu was life-threatening.
Also, she wanted to cause some trouble for Lin Fengying and Si Xiaohui.
This mother and daughter duo always came in between her and Ahchen unnecessarily. Now it was time to let them suffer some headaches!
"Thank you so much, sister." Niu Airong and her husband showed their gratitude once again. They had the impression that city people were condescending and wouldn’t care about them. They didn’t expect Tong Yao to be so friendly.
Tong Yao and Deng Wenwen quickly tidied up the shop and started walking towards home. Niu Airong and Song Wenhua followed behind them, not daring to chat too much, fearing Tong Yao would be annoyed by their chatter.
On the way, they were terrified. Whenever a car drove by, they pushed themselves aside nervously, afraid of getting hit.
The city had many cars that drove fast. If they got hit, the drivers would just accelerate away and they could do nothing about it.
When they passed by a residential zone on their way, Deng Wenwen and Tong Yao said hello and went in.
Seeing no one was talking to Tong Yao anymore, Niu Airong caught up with Tong Yao and said, "Sister, can I ask a question, are there any accommodations nearby?"
She didn’t know it was because of the weather this year. It just had a heavy snow not too long ago, and it seemed like it was going to snow again. They originally thought that they could find Song Yu as soon as they found Tong Yao and have a place to stay for the night. But it appears now, it would already be good to have some news about Song Yu today, and finding him seemed impossible.
They’d better find a place to stay for the night first.
Sigh!
It’s inexplicable how such a grown man like Song Yu just vanished.
God, please protect Song Yu from any harm. Otherwise, a big fuss will be kicked up at home.
Song Yu is dear to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Tong Yao said, "There is a place to stay near Xiaohui’s home. I will let you know when we get there."
"Thanks, sister." Niu Airong hastily rattled off.
After walking for about ten more minutes, Tong Yao left the couple at the building where Si Weimin lived. She pointed at his house and said, "To the first house in the stairwell when you go up the stairs. I don’t have a good relationship with them, so I won’t go up there with you. As for accommodation, take a left and then turn right at the junction when you go out. There is a guest house."
She knew that the couple definitely wouldn’t stay in expensive hotels, so she specifically mentioned the location of the guest house.
"Okay, okay, we’ve troubled you enough. It’s going to snow soon. Sister, you should hurry back home too!" Niu Airong said with concern.
Tong Yao nodded her head and set off in the direction of her home, not planning to meddle in the affairs of the couple anymore.
The couple took more than ten minutes to climb two to three floors. They trembled while treading the cement staircase, afraid to exert too much force. They were worried that they might break the stairs if they were not careful.
