Aunt Liu saw Chu Qian eating two of the rice dumplings offered at the Spring Equinox in one go, and reaching for the third one. She couldn't help scolding her, "Why are you eating so much, and you're not afraid of accumulating food?"
Chu Qian trembled, quickly retracted his hand, and said humbly: "I think it is smaller than ordinary rice dumplings, so it should not be so easy to accumulate food."
Aunt Liu rolled her eyes at her and said nothing.
Chu Yan heard this and immediately said: "Qian'er can eat whatever she likes. What do you think she is doing?"
It wasn't until he met Aunt Liu's cold gaze that Chu Yan later realized that he had said the wrong thing, "I mean, the Spring Equinox has brought so many rice dumplings, don't waste them!"
But it was obviously too late. Aunt Liu turned her head aside and was too lazy to talk to Chu Yan anymore.
No matter how good the things made by Shi Chunquin are, she won’t accept them!
Seeing the undercurrent surging in the first house, the second and third houses laughed and said nothing. It would be best for them to fight among themselves a few more times to save them from taking action in the future.
Shi Chunquin watched Dan Rou silently, pretending not to hear what was happening next to her.
Dan Rou was even more exaggerated than Chu Qian. She couldn't bear to stop after eating five of them, saying she had to taste every flavor.
Seeing that she really liked it, Shi Chunfen offered to bring a few boxes for her to take away later. Only then did Danrou stop reaching for the rice dumplings on the table.
After eating the rice dumplings, more than half of the banquet was over. Many people left their seats and began to enjoy the scenery along the pier and take a walk to eat.
When the spring equinox saw that Yu A-Rabbit hadn't come back yet, he suddenly felt worried, "We've finished giving out the rice dumplings, where did A-Rabbit go?"
Seeing that something was unusual, Shan Rou took the initiative and said, "Why don't I accompany you to search around, in case something really happens."
Hearing what she said, Shi Chunfen immediately nodded, said something to Chu Yan, and left the table.
Chu Run happened to come back from Weng Xiaohuan and saw her leaving the scene with a serious face. He took the initiative to step forward and asked: "What happened? Where are you going?"
Before Shi Chunfen had time to reply, Shan Rou rushed over and said, "Her cousin is missing. I will accompany her to look for her everywhere."
"Oh?" Chu Run frowned, "There are big winds and waves near the pier, so it's best if nothing happens."
Shi Chunquin sighed, "I thought so too."
Chu Run no longer hesitated, "I'll go there with you."
Seeing the three of them coming together, Chu Quan, who was sitting in his seat, rolled his eyes, pouted at Xue Jinxiu, and stood up, "Mom, let me go over and take a look."
Xue Jinxiu nodded slightly. She didn't want Chu Run to get too close to the people in Dafang. Otherwise, if this continued, they would have to unite to isolate mother and son.
Chu Shun frowned when he saw Chu Quan following Chu Run furtively, "What does your son want to do again?"
Hearing his question, Xue Jinxiu said angrily: "What about my son, your son? Aren't you the one who gave birth to Ah Quan?"
Chu Shun couldn't resist her, so he stood up and tried to run away, "It's simply unreasonable."
Xue Jinxiu was afraid that he would hinder Chu Quan, so she immediately winked at Qian Ling'er and followed him reluctantly, "What are you making unreasonable troubles? Did I say something wrong?"
Qian Ling'er received her look, no matter how unwilling she was, she had to get up and follow them.
Seeing that all the people in the second room were gone, Cao Yingchun sneered and said mockingly, "The cousin of Chun Equinox was really interesting back then. One person was missing and so many people were looking for her. Somehow they thought she was from our Chu family.
Miss."
"Oh, what a beautiful idea she has!" Aunt Liu said sarcastically: "A mere maid wants to fly up a branch, she is simply overestimating her capabilities."
When Chu Yan and Chu Gui heard their discussion, they both looked at each other and said nothing. This was the reason why they were unwilling to come out to socialize. When these women gathered together, there would be too many disputes.
Chu Qian sat next to Aunt Liu from beginning to end, as quiet as if her soul was out of body. She suddenly envied Chu Ying for not having to suffer in a place like this.
Shi Chunfen and others searched around the pier, but could not see Yu Atu anywhere. Li Yan even called Wu Bo over and asked him to ask his men to help search together. The matter soon spread to Caobang's ears.
Weng Zhenhai and Weng Xiaohuan rushed over at the same time.
"Mrs. sister-in-law, haven't they been found yet?" Weng Zhenhai asked with concern.
Shi Chunfen shook his head and became anxious, "Is something really going to happen?"
Weng Xiaohuan frowned, "Why is it so troublesome?"
It's rare that the Dragon Boat Festival and the Cao Gang are so careful in organizing this dragon boat race. If someone happens to their territory, it will be a big trouble.
Seeing that she was not only not worried about Yu Atu's safety, but also said such words, Chu Run was a little unhappy, "It's important to find someone, so don't waste time."
Hearing his words, everyone nodded. Everyone divided into several waves and dispersed again to look for traces of Yu Utu.
Weng Xiaohuan wanted to follow Chu Run, but when he saw him running away after Shi Chunqu without looking back, he couldn't help but frowned, "What a stupid head!"
As more people were looking for her, the matter spread quickly. In a short time, almost everyone present knew that a maid from the Chu family had disappeared at the pier. People were panicked for a while, and many people returned to their seats, not daring to go back to the shore.
While admiring the scenery, I was afraid that if I lost my footing and something happened, I would disappear into the river.
I couldn't find anyone at the Spring Equinox, so I finally had to return to the Chu family's seat, with solemn expression on my face.
Seeing her like this, Chu Yan couldn't help but frowned, "What's wrong? Is your cousin really missing?"
Shi Chunfen bit her lips and said nothing.
Li Yan replied from the side: "To tell you the truth, sir, we searched around the pier several times, but we didn't see Miss Yu... Cousin. I'm afraid the situation is in danger."
Shi Chunfen's face turned a bit pale, and his already thin body looked particularly fragile under the wind at the dock, as if it would break at the slightest touch.
Even if Chu Yansu didn't like her, he couldn't bear to criticize her at this moment. He stood up and said: "I'm going to send someone over right now. Even if the dock is turned upside down, I still have to find your cousin."
You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die, instead of disappearing inexplicably like this.
Seemingly being infected by his attitude, Shi Chunquin nodded quickly, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Seeing that they all came back, but no one from the second room showed up, Chu Gui couldn't help but frowned, "Where have the second brother and the others gone? Aren't they also running to find someone?"
Shi Chunfen was startled, and then she realized that Chu Run, who had been following her, suddenly disappeared while walking. She really didn't know what she was doing.
Aunt Liu sneered and said, "Who knows? Maybe we didn't find anyone and lost a few more. That would be fun."
Chu Qian shrank his neck and hugged himself tightly in fear, "No way? How can it be so evil?"
