Aunt Wang knew that she could not win against An Jiuyue. Instead, she encouraged Aunt Kang to fight with An Jiuyue and take advantage of that.
“Master, Master, this is amazing!”
Wei Na was amused as it listened to those people plot against its master.
“That Kang and Wang are discussing how to deal with you. They really think they’re so smart. Why don’t we teach them a lesson first?”
An Jiuyue smiled helplessly.
Catching more fish and putting them into her space was the most important thing on her mind now. As for Aunt Kang and Aunt Wang…
The Chief would deal with Aunt Kang. Besides, her eldest son and daughter-in-law were not to be trifled with. They would not allow her to be arrogant at home again.
Moreover, if she remembered correctly, her second son had feelings for the Host, right?
He would not be happy with his mother if he found out that she harmed the entire village because she wanted to give her attitude.
Hence, Aunt Kang would face many hardships from now on.
Needless to say, Aunt Wang would be in a similar situation. Now that she had become the village’s savior, the villagers would be hostile towards Aunt Wang, who had previously bullied her and tried to sell her son.
She reckoned that Aunt Wang’s family would be shunned in the village in the future. There was no need for her to deal with them.
“I think I should conserve my energy and catch fish.”
…
Four days later, in the military camp…
“Where’s Yan Yan? Why didn’t she come back with you?” Qian Jiyun looked at the miserably crying Xue Ling and felt no sympathy.
“Brother Yun, I stayed at that inn in town for a night. The next morning, I realised Yiyun had disappeared. I heard from a worker that she had already checked out and left.
“I thought she was angry with me, wanted to ignore me and rush to catch up with you, so she left me behind.
“I didn’t think much about it and set off on my own. I was afraid that it would be dangerous for her to travel alone and wanted to catch up to her quickly. I met the people you sent before I even caught up with her.”
Xue Ling exchanged her situation with Qian Yiyun’s. She wanted Qian Jiyun to think that his sister had disappeared because she willfully bullied her.
She had already thought it through: Four days had passed. Since she took everything Qian Yiyun had, she would not have enough money to buy food. Even if she did not starve to death, her small face would make her a target of the local hooligans.
She might have already been sold off somewhere. Even if Qian Jiyun returned to look for her, he probably would not be able to find her!
“You…” Qian Jiyun was so angry that he almost raised his hand to slap her.
He knew his younger sister well. Yan Yan would never do something so irrational.
The only possibility was that Xue Ling had left Yan Yan in the town to perish while she returned alone.
He took a deep breath and said to Xue Ling, “Get some rest first. I’ll send someone to look for Yan Yan.”
Xue Ling looked at Qian Jiyun and nodded. “Okay.”
“Brother Yun, you have to send someone to look for Yiyun quickly. We don’t even know where she is now.”
It would take at least three days to return to that town. Many things could happen within three days. Nobody knew if Qian Yiyun was dead or alive.
