Chapter 51 Preparing a Missing Person Notice
Sang Cheng stood behind Song Tingran, very surprised. When the family couldn't open the pot, the brothers discussed who should go back to his parents' family. Because Changyuqiao's family was in a special situation, it was not his turn.
However, his family members probably got the information from the tavern, knew the address, and asked someone to give him a message asking him to go home, so they went back.
What should I say now, never seen again?
Song Tingran and Sang Cheng looked at each other, feeling a little strange. Sang Cheng wanted to speak, but was afraid of losing his etiquette when going out, so he asked humbly: "My wife, I know something about Third Brother." Information."
"Ah, then tell me."
The two of them cooperated well. Sang Chengcheng told the story about the letter. The old woman's face was not very good, and she said sarcastically: "The wife of the Song family, you are really good-tempered. My husband has committed the following crimes, and you can still behave well." Sit down, if this were placed in other people’s homes, it would be a severe beating.”
Song Tingran ignored it, rolled her eyes, pulled Sang Cheng behind her, and continued: "Since you are the ones who wrote the letter to ask Chang Yuqiao to come back, where is that person?"
"Yes, where is the man? When we sold him, he was willing. Because he was young, it was said that he learned to play the piano in the tavern. Later, we heard that he was married, and we wanted to celebrate it. Who knows? , this person disappeared."
Song Tingran couldn't tell whether the elder's words were true or false, so he shouted several times at the top of his lungs, "
"Changyuqiao, are you at home?"
"Chang Yuqiao, I am Song Tingran. Sang Cheng and I are here to take you home."
No echo.
Song Tingran was worried that Chang Yuqiao was afraid of her, so she hid and asked Sang Cheng to shout a few words, but there was still no reply.
"Master Wife of the Song family, you can't believe this old woman like me. He really has never come back. I thought he was always at your place."
I never expected that this would be the case. Changyuqiao probably didn't have any money at the beginning. It was a long journey and there was no way he would get lost.
"Can we go inside and have a look?"
Song Tingran had to rule out all possibilities. Everyone in the elder's family thought he had heard wrongly. Putting aside the issue of identity, this was the first time that he had to enter someone's home. Considering the current situation, it was necessary to search for someone. Search it!
The old woman paused for a moment and said: "It's okay for my family to come in and take a look. After all, you are Qiao'er's wife. However, when Qiao'er got married, there was no formal explanation, money or anything like that. I haven’t seen it either, tell me, are you still a relative?”
Song Tingran was speechless. What he meant was that only if he had money could he enter the house and take a look.
"If I were to marry Chang Yuqiao from the elder's family, of course it would be the gift money, but didn't you sell him? I must still remember how much I sold him for. I am telling this from a small restaurant in Ping'an Town. The deed he redeemed belongs to the Song family, and the policy clearly states why I want to give money as a gift to your eldest family."
The elders shut up, not expecting Song Tingran to be so eloquent. When the old woman saw that she couldn't get the money, she stopped being polite and issued an eviction order, saying again that she was not here.
The more Song Tingran saw that the elder's family did not allow it, the more she felt that the person might be at home, so she grabbed her waist and started throwing a tantrum.
"If you don't let me go in and take a look today, don't even think about going out. Anyway, Chang Yuqiao is a member of our Song family, and there is evidence. You once asked him to come back. When the time comes, I will sue you and say that you Imprison my husband and send officers and soldiers to search."
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, the elder's family was in chaos, and you and I were mumbling each other.
"Do you think my wife is easy to bully? I have eaten more salt than you have eaten rice. We have no one at home. Are you afraid of being searched?"
Song Tingran laughed wildly. The more this happened, the more frightened the elders became. This person was completely different from the polite person just now.
"The government sent people and officers and soldiers to search. Your family is famous in Shuiyue Village. Even if this ordinary person has eight mouths and I have plenty of time, you can't even think of telling them clearly."
The elders compromised, and Song Tingran was worried that Sang Cheng would be bullied outside, so she pulled him into the house.
There is nothing superfluous in the house. It can be seen almost at a glance. There is indeed no long fish bridge.
"You have seen it, Chang Yuqiao has never come back. Now, our elder family will not keep you."
Song Tingran took Sang Cheng away, and the door of the elder's house was shut tightly, leaving the two of them a little embarrassed.
"Master Wife, if Third Brother is not here, where can he go? Is there any danger?"
"Let's go back to Changkou Town right away."
Song Tingran walked very fast, and Sang Cheng followed behind. When they arrived at the place where they got off the ox cart just now, the driver was still waiting for someone.
"Hey, we're getting married so quickly." The coachman said as if he was an acquaintance.
Song Tingran sat directly on the carriage and asked the coachman again: "Have you really never heard of Changyuqiao? The elder's family is his relative, and his mother died when she was young."
Seeing how anxious she was, the coachman knew that she must have come all the way, but he couldn't find anyone.
"Don't panic, if you say so, the eldest son's family did have a young man, but he was sold long ago. Everyone knows this, and he never came back."
This was what he said to the elder's family. Song Tingran packed up the entire oxcart and just wanted to go to Changkou Town quickly.
"In this case, you are not suitable."
"Stop talking and let's go."
There were only two people in the ox cart, Song Tingran and Sang Cheng. He took out the vegetable buns left over from the morning and said, "My wife, third brother will be fine. Take a bite to soothe your stomach."
The weather was hot and she was upset. Song Tingran couldn't eat anymore and was wondering what to do next.
The coachman was really happy that this train was running. The time saved in waiting for people today might allow him to make one more trip.
Song Tingran already had an idea. He got out of the car and headed towards the market. Everything was sold here, including street fortune tellers, letter writers, and painters.
Soon, on the side of the road, I saw a young painter waiting for business. The table in front of her was very clean, and there were some of her works beside her.
"I want to draw portraits."
When the painter saw the business, he asked Song Tingran to sit down and said, "No problem, if it doesn't look like it, there will be no charge."
This painter was accomplished, but Song Tingran waved his hand, indicating that he was not painting her, but wanted her to describe and then paint.
The painter paused, then sat down, spread the paper in front of him, and looked at Song Tingran and Sang Cheng seriously.
"About as tall as him, his face is thin and angular, his eyes are fox eyes, and there is a mole under the left corner of his eye..."
After Song Tingran finished speaking, Sang Cheng added some details. The painter thought for a while and then started painting.
