Chapter 976: Chapter 977: I’ll Look for Her
Chiang Xiao narrowed her eyes slightly, "Who did you say? Auntie, do you have a suspect in mind?"
"Zou Xiaoling!" Ge Xiaotong exclaimed, "It must be her!"
Zou Xiaoling?
Chiang Xiao’s face immediately darkened.
"You took Little Bean Bun there again?" Xu Linjiang’s face turned grim, "Haven’t I told you not to always go over there listening to their nonsense?"
"I didn’t!" Ge Xiaotong fiercely wiped away her tears, now filled with nothing but anger, wishing she could tear Zou Xiaoling apart. "I really haven’t taken Little Bean Bun to listen to them anymore. Today, I just let Little Bean Bun play with two neighborhood kids at the entrance of the alley, quite a distance from Chiang Baohe’s house!"
Chiang Xiao took some candy out of her pocket for Little Bean Bun; once the needle was removed, the little one stopped crying, but clung tightly to her clothes, unwilling to let go.
"After eating the candy, can you tell sister what that auntie looked like?"
"It’s, it’s always the one, the one who gets scolded and cries."
That was the clearest and most precise description Little Bean Bun could offer.
As soon as Ge Xiaotong heard this from Little Bean Bun, she was completely certain it was Zou Xiaoling, for Zou Xiaoling had always been scolded by Chiang Baohe, and she would cry when scolded harshly.
Ge Xiaotong often heard her cry when she used to take Little Bean Bun to eavesdrop.
With Little Bean Bun’s words, it all became clear to her. Additionally, Zou Xiaoling had been living miserably due to domestic abuse from Chiang Baohe and consequently, she had become much thinner compared to before her marriage.
"I’ll go find her!" Where could Ge Xiaotong find the patience to wait?
Chiang Xiao held her back, "Did they have another incident? Why would Zou Xiaoling take her anger out on Little Bean Bun?"
Ge Xiaotong bit her lower lip and said, "I have no idea what she was thinking! She’s been married to Chiang Baohe for so long without getting pregnant. He curses her daily for being a barren hen, and for meddling in others’ affairs, saying that if it weren’t for her meddling back then, maybe someone else might already have a child!"
Ge Xiaotong had also encountered Zou Xiaoling while holding Little Bean Bun and felt that her gaze was somewhat off. Only now did she realize that Zou Xiaoling’s psyche had twisted to the point of wanting to harm Little Bean Bun.
But Chiang Xiao heard something amiss in her words.
Chiang Baohe said Zou Xiaoling meddled in his affairs? Back then?
That one time, she had seen Yu Chunyu and Zou Xiaoling going to No. 17 to talk to Chiang Baohe about something, and it was Yu Chunyu who had followed Zou Xiaoling there, right?
Not long after, word spread that they were getting married, and Yu Chunyu disappeared without a trace.
Thinking back now, something definite had happened that day.
Otherwise, how could it be that Yu Chunyu, right after warning her to stay away from Hu Xibing, showing clear determination to have him for herself, no longer pursued Hu Xibing at all afterward?
She had asked Hu Xibing, and he had said that it was around that time that Yu Chunyu stopped seeking him out. When he was about to get married, he had been worried that Yu Chunyu would come out and cause trouble, but she didn’t.
She had also taken a long leave from the town’s middle school, and nobody knew where she went.
"Don’t go looking for her; I’ll go," Chiang Xiao stood up.
No matter what had happened between Zou Xiaoling and Yu Chunyu at Chiang Baohe’s place, if they dared to lay a finger on Little Bean Bun, she would never forgive them.
Seeing Chiang Xiao grip the rusty needle startled Xu Linjiang, "Little, what are you planning to do?"
