Chapter 684: Another Search

river push the bear and the crocodile to this side. Immediately, he understood Ripples' intention and nodded his head cautiously approaching. He first dragged the crocodile that had stopped breathing...When her words left her lips, the Yao family who had been preparing to forcibly search her all froze. This girl in a white bridal mask was indeed straightforward and bold enough.

Meanwhile, the government officials whispered a few words to the head of the Yao family's entourage. Lian Yi vaguely heard the name "Miss Dong Er," but she remained calm and composed as she led her mother aside, entered the house to retrieve Huzi, and cleared the way.

The head of the Yao family's eyes flashed, but he didn't stop Ripples from entering the room to hug her younger brother. However, he still spoke:

"You guys work quickly, search thoroughly, and don't mess up anyone's yard."

It's evident that he gave her some face because ripples was once the savior of Dong Er's younger sister.

Thank you, sir!

The ripples thanked him politely.

With the leader's restraint, these people became much more orderly. Although the inside and outside of the house were a mess, at least they didn't steal anything. But even if they wanted to take advantage of the situation, there was nothing to take. The few taels of silver in the house had already been taken by Lianli while she was carrying Huzi into the space. This family was so poor that you could see the end with one glance.

These people spent only half an hour ransacking Song Dachuan's house. They turned the whole place upside down, including the vegetable patch behind the yard and even swept through the stove pits. However, they found nothing. All they managed to do was scare the mice in their burrows into a frenzy. These people didn't even spare the mouse holes, pulling out some random garbage from inside.

Huzǐ was lying in his elder sister's arms, with wide open eyes, watching the people coming and going. In a milky voice, he asked Lianyi:

Sister, what are they doing

They lost something, let's look around our house

Ripples explained in a low voice.

How did they know things were lost from our house

Huzi was full of question marks. None of these people had ever been to their house, how could they have possibly thrown things there

"They just don't know where they threw it, so they all have to look for it."

"Oh!"

Huzǐ seemed to understand but not fully, he just nodded his head and continued to cuddle in Lian Yī's arms. Then, he quietly watched the group of people fuss around.

As the searchers left Song's house one by one, they all shook their heads. The last person leaned into the leader of the Yao family and whispered something in his ear. His eyes flashed, and he fixed his gaze on Liàn Yī, asking with a smile that didn't reach his eyes:

Although your family is poor, you can't possibly be without a single copper coin, can you

Liàn Yī heard the meaning in the other party's words at once. The corner of her lips, hidden beneath her white veil, curled up into a smile. She handed the tiger cub to Huī Niáng, removed the plain and elegant pouch hanging from her waist, and passed it to the person who had just relayed a message to the leader.

"My lord, the copper coins I have left are all here. The five taels of silver we had saved at home were taken by my father this morning to Songjia Village to my grandfather's place. His old man fainted because my uncle owed a debt and couldn't even afford medical expenses. My father was worried sick, so he went there as soon as dawn broke."

She was speaking to the head of the Yao family, and also to those nearby who were watching the commotion. After all, they had searched thoroughly, and there was no treasure that could be hidden. Since nothing was found, it was naturally pointless.

The head of the Yao family's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. He just winked at someone behind him. The last person in line turned and left, apparently to verify the truth of what Lian Yi had said.

These people didn't even take the pouch that looked deflated and flimsy, they could tell by the sound that there wasn't much copper inside. They didn't look at it at all.

"Has Song Dashan visited your house recently"

"No, from the day he wanted to sell me, my father and his brothers drifted apart. Since we moved to Zhangjia Village, he hasn't visited once."

Ripple immediately said.

The village head of Zhangjia Village and all of Zhang Huiniang's family members came, gathering around Song Dachuan's house. Although they remained silent, these people wouldn't stand idly by if they intended to harm Lin Ri and her daughter.

"Song Dashi's that turtle grandson, if he dares to step into our Zhangjia village, we will definitely break his legs. He's a heartless animal, for marrying, he even wants to sell his own niece. He's really lost his conscience."

Zhang Shi spat directly, saying loudly.

There was a chorus of agreement all around. Back then, the incident caused quite a stir and drove honest old Song Dachuan to relocate to their Zhangjiacun village. He was practically like a son-in-law who moved in, so everyone in Zhangjiacun knew the ins and outs of what happened.

The head of the Yao family saw at once that there was deep animosity between the two brothers, and they had also heard that on the day Song Dajian went up the mountain, Song Dachuan was busy working in the fields, so it was impossible for them to go together.

"Okay, let's go!"

The head of the Yao family waved his hand, and he and his men along with the government officials left in a flurry.

Only Zhang Huilan's family entered their courtyard, helping to tidy up the overturned house.

Zhang Hui's parents then asked their daughter and granddaughter, were the words just now true or false

"At least leave some silver. What if something happens How will you live then Tiger is looking much better now, but this little frame of his still needs to be nursed back to health."

Zhang shi worriedly said.

"Well, this is a decision made by the head of household. Both Ripple and I support it. As for the reasons, let Ripple explain to you all."

Chang Hui-niang was just scared by those people, and now that she's calmed down, she went to boil water for tea. She left the task of explaining to Lian Yi.

When facing the Zhang family, Lianyi repeated the same words she had said before.

Da Chuan considered this very carefully. If Old Song and the Song family really wanted to come live in Da Chuan's house, he, as the son, couldn't really drive them away. Now that he had paid them money, he had also cut off their way of clinging to Da Chuan's family and sucking them dry.

The head of the Zhang family approved of Song Dachuan's actions.

"Grandpa was right, and Dad feels the same way. It's not that he doesn't want to support them, but every time he thinks about what they did to Mom and me, he feels sick to his stomach. The family split in the first place because he didn't want to live under the same roof as them."

Ripples smiled and said.

"Hui Niang, Lian Yi, I'm back!"

At this time, Song Dachuan's voice came from outside the hospital.

Ripple immediately went out and ushered her father into the room.

By now, Song Dachuan already knew what had happened at home during his absence. He felt even more resentment towards Song Dashi.

"Father, mother, four uncles, thank you all for coming to help at home."

"Since we're all family, there's no need to be so polite. How did things go with your business in Songjia Village"

Zhang Jia's eldest son, Zhang Zhong, immediately asked.

Everything is settled, and luckily I arrived in time. Otherwise, my parents would have been sent here by Song Dajie.

Song Dachuan took a sip of the white water Li Yi handed him, and then said with relief.

Luckily, he listened to his daughter and called the village head and the elders of Songjia Village. In front of everyone, he handed over all the silver hairpins and broken silver coins in his possession to Old Mrs. Song. He also explained that this was all the property he had saved after separating from his family, including his daughter's dowry, which she had brought forward for her father's illness.l bag and handing it to Wen Zhaoming."I told your sister you should go back a little later so she wouldn't worry."The lotus spoke.Thank you.Wen Zhaoming awkwardly took the small cloth bag and then hid...
