Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Yang Meifeng is Missing?_1

Watching his father-in-law, Luo Shanchuan, argue red in the face over three to five thousand yuan for tea leaves, Mo Han shook his head with an expression of utter helplessness.

The days his father-in-law lived were tough indeed.

On a typical day, he only had a little over three hundred yuan of spending money, hardly ever willing to buy even a pack of cigarettes.

Then there was his mother-in-law, who received over a dozen deliveries a day—clothes, shoes, beauty products continuously arriving home, and she also played mahjong every afternoon, losing at least five to six hundred each time.

And you simply couldn’t mention a word of this to her without her blowing up.

Comparing people is really difficult.

"Mo Han, just think of it as helping out. Next time Mei Feng criticizes you, I’ll definitely back you up," Luo Shanchuan said, his voice softening a bit as if he felt his tone had been too harsh earlier, "That girl’s grandma is seriously ill, if you won’t help me, think of it as helping her, alright?"

As he spoke, he purposefully rotated his arm and stole a glance at Mo Han, "Ouch, my arm, it still hasn’t recovered from when your grandma hit me last time."

"If I could go out and work, even if it means moving bricks for a few days, I’d earn that money..."

With his father-in-law having said as much, Mo Han was left without a choice, "Fine, three thousand it is. I don’t have any more."

"Good."

The moment his son-in-law agreed, the pain in Luo Shanchuan’s arm miraculously disappeared and he sprightly took out his phone, "Good son-in-law, hurry up and transfer the money to me. When I get the tea leaves sold, I’ll give you some..."

Crreeak, the door opened at that moment. Luo Ning, who had just come in after changing her shoes, looked puzzled, "Tea leaves? What tea leaves?"

She had just taken Mo Xiaochen out to play for a bit, but they had to rush back because it suddenly started raining.

"Oh, I just saw some tea leaves on sale online a moment ago."

Luo Shanchuan, afraid that his daughter would tell his wife, quickly gave Mo Han a look, implying, "I was just discussing with Mo Han when we can go buy some."

"Mo Han, when will you be free?"

"Uh, it depends." Mo Han could only muster an answer under the threatening gaze of his father-in-law.

Luo Ning, not suspecting anything, beckoned for her daughter to change shoes and come inside.

Sitting on the sofa, she glanced at her wristwatch, her eyebrows furrowed, "Mom’s playing too late today, isn’t she? It’s almost nine and she still isn’t back."

Luo Shanchuan yawned and said impatiently, "What else can she be doing? It’s not like she lost a lot of money today and is now hurrying to cover her losses."

"That’s just her nature; she gets itchy if she doesn’t play cards for a day."

"No, when Mom gets back, I’m going to have a serious talk with her!" Luo Ning said indignantly, "I can overlook her playing mahjong in the afternoon, but at night, what if she runs into trouble or bad people..."

"Bad people? Bad people would take a detour upon seeing your mother."

Luo Shanchuan said grumpily, "With that temper of hers when losing at cards, she’d probably make any robber cry."

Pfft...

Mo Han couldn’t help but laugh; while his father-in-law’s words were exaggerated, his mother-in-law’s fierce character was indeed like that.

But right now, she probably wouldn’t be able to act so haughtily, considering how unpleasant it must be for her where she was.

Luo Shanchuan, having taken care of the children all day, was somewhat tired and gestured with his hand, "It’s getting late; let’s all wash up and go to bed. Your mom will be back soon."

"Mo Han, don’t forget about the thing I mentioned," he said, waving his phone at Mo Han.

The transaction between the two was interrupted when Luo Ning came back, which was Luo Shanchuan’s cue for Mo Han to continue with the transfer.

Mo Han, who could guess what was going on, nodded and replied, "Alright, Dad."

After their father returned to his room, Luo Ning let out a sigh on the sofa, "Mom really is too much. It’s no wonder Dad is getting more and more reluctant to deal with her."

"No, I have to call Mom and tell her to come home."

She was as good as her word, taking out her phone and calling her mother.

Doo-doo-doo...

Unexpectedly, after more than a dozen rings, there was still no answer.

Luo Ning thought her mother might not have heard the phone during her mahjong game, so she sent a video call as well.

Still, no one answered.

She called several times in a row without a response, which was strange.

Could it be that she was angered by losing at mahjong and didn’t want to pick up the phone?

But that didn’t make sense; normally, if her mother was upset about losing money, she’d simply hang up and turn the phone off. This lack of response was puzzling. Had her phone been stolen?

With uncertainty, she tried several more times, but still received no answer.

"Mo Han, do you think something could have happened to Mom?" Luo Ning said with a frantic look, "With such heavy rain, could she have had an accident on her way home?"

"Uh..."

Of course, Mo Han knew his mother-in-law’s whereabouts, but he obviously wouldn’t say anything at this moment. He could only go along with the suggestion, "I doubt it. Mom is not a child, and I guess Dad’s right; she probably lost money playing mahjong and is too occupied to check her phone."

"There was one time Mom didn’t come home until midnight, right?"

Luo Ning frowned slightly, unsure. After pondering, she said, "Then I’ll bathe Chen Chen first. If Mom isn’t back by midnight, we’ll go look for her."

"Okay."

Mo Han nodded, feeling a tinge of guilt.

...

Meanwhile, Yang Meifeng, who had been transferred to a detention room, was currently undergoing the "initiation" for newcomers.

Across from her, seven burly middle-aged women stood in a line. Unlike Yang Meifeng, they were there for real crimes they had committed.

The most imposing woman among them was named Zhang Hongyan, who used to work in a fish market. She had ended up here after getting into a fight and stabbing someone, puncturing their spleen, and she had been detained for over twenty days.

Because of her towering and robust appearance combined with her toughness, she had quickly become the boss of this detention room as soon as she arrived.

When Yang Meifeng first arrived, she didn’t even glance at Zhang Hongyan and others and just sat down on her bunk sobbing. This attitude didn’t sit well with them.

After 9 o’clock, when the guards went off to rest, Zhang Hongyan, with arms akimbo, walked over to Yang Meifeng’s bunk and looked down at her with disdain, "Newbie, don’t you understand any rules at all?"
