Chapter 721 Can’t Stay
Chapter 721 Can’t Stay
I couldn't get out of the room, not even to the toilet.
After an hour or two, Wu Ya wanted to go to the toilet and see if there was any chance to escape.
The old woman asked him to do it directly in the chamber pot in the room.
The urinal was smelly and full of dirt. Wu Ya felt sick just looking at it and couldn't use it at all.
I held it in for a long time, but it was impossible, so I had to endure the nausea and get it done.
Although she also came from a farming family, she had seen a lot of farm manure and used dry toilets when she was a child.
But that was a long time ago. It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
As the sun slowly set, Wu Ya became more and more desperate and panicked.
Finally, at dusk, those who had been working or hunting outside came back. There were actually more than 20 or 30 people in the family.
They all had dinner around the stone table in the yard.
It is obvious that there are more men than women.
No wonder this family wants to buy a wife from outside.
The man called Tuwa had been looking at the room where Wu Ya was, eager to try.
Wu Ya looked at the man's wolf-like green light through the window and trembled in her heart.
The old woman was a little dissatisfied when she saw it, and said in a loud voice: "Why are you so anxious? This little slut's face is swollen like a pig's head. It's a pity you can bite her!"
It's obvious who it refers to.
"Dad said, it's the same even if the lights are off. I've been single for so long!" Tuwa muttered, not taking it seriously.
Then he took a shower, changed into a half-worn coarse red shirt as a groom's suit, and strode towards Wu Ya's room.
Finally, a smile appeared on his face.
When Wu Ya saw this, she held the tiles tightly in her hand.
……
On the other side, after Zhang Ping'an understood the situation, he secretly asked his servants to inquire with the carriage and horse shops in the town.
It is not difficult to guess why Wu Ya suddenly went out alone with her maid. Since she was going to the county, the people from the carriage and horse agency and the pawnshop must have seen her.
The whole family was worried but couldn't tell anyone.
He only told outsiders that Wu Ya suddenly had a fever and needed to go to the nunnery to meditate for a while.
After lunch, he asked the maid to take the carriage instead of Wu Ya and go to the nearby Wuxian Temple, just to avoid being seen.
With a clear direction, news was quickly passed back from the town. After inquiring, it was learned that Wu Ya had indeed gone to the car dealership in the town last night and chartered a mule cart to go to the county town overnight.
The driver just came back.
Zhang Ping'an was not in a position to come forward himself, so he asked Tan Yaoqi to interrogate the suspect in the name of searching for thieves.
Before he could even ask a few questions, the driver told the truth that something had indeed happened to Wu Ya.
But the robbery happened in the middle of the night, and the driver could only see the general appearance of the people opposite him, so he couldn't describe them clearly.
"This matter is not difficult to investigate, it just takes time. I guess they have been targeted for a long time. Those who have the courage to rob near the city gate most likely have a criminal record and are definitely not honest in their daily lives. We should first interrogate them in the town, and then visit people in the surrounding villages, and we will have a general idea," Zhang Pingan analyzed.
"This matter concerns my fifth sister's reputation and the younger generations in the family, so..."
The unfinished meaning at the end is very clear.
Tan Yaoqi was also very tactful, "I understand. Don't worry about me. This matter will not be made public, and no word will be leaked. It will be enough to conduct a secret search in the name of arresting bandits. After all, I am from the provincial capital, so the county and town should give me some face. There is no need to use a sledgehammer to crack a chicken. You don't have to show up in this matter."
He was even a little excited. This way, his relationship with Zhang Pingan would be closer.
I'm not afraid of being used by others, I'm just afraid of not moving around.
Although Wu Ya is missing, what needs to be done must be done. The homecoming banquet is not only a matter of the Zhang family, but also the honor of the entire town.
In the past two days, the threshold of Zhang's house has been almost broken down by people coming and going, all wanting to show their faces in advance.
Zhang Ping'an suppressed his annoyance and received the guests as usual.
Daya's family arrived very early. Liu Sanlang was now a popular figure in the village, and he was pulled away to greet people as soon as he arrived.
When Daya heard that Wu Ya had gone to the nunnery, she was mentally prepared and was not too surprised. She just thought that the original plan had been brought forward.
Xu was so upset that she couldn't express it. She held her eldest daughter's hand and sighed.
Aunt Zhang felt more confident because she had figured out some things about her son's affairs. If her parents treated her badly in the future, she would have this as a handle.
Therefore, he was quite rude to his sisters-in-law Li and Ma at the banquet.
Mrs. Li was puzzled. "Hey, you don't know your own family's weight, right? You eat and drink for free and still stick your tail up high. Who gave her the courage? A few days ago, she was fawning over me, but today she's changed."
"Who said it wasn't?" Ma was also very angry.
She is a picky person, and it makes me angry just thinking about it.
The two quarreled again over midnight snacks.
Zhang Xiaogu refused to give in.
Ma is not a weak person either.
The two of them started arguing, and Aunt Zhang blurted out Wu Ya's affairs, "Humph, don't think I'm afraid of you just because you're my sister-in-law. I'm not here to eat for free. If you make me angry, I'll make life difficult for everyone. Why did Wu Ya insist on going to the nunnery? Did she think I didn't know? Ha, who do you think is the fool?"
"What do you mean? Explain clearly!" Ma narrowed her eyes.
"It means literally. You don't understand what I'm saying, right?"
The voice was so loud that it could be heard even in the west wing. Xu was startled when she heard it and had a premonition that Zhang Xiaogu had found out about Wu Ya's affairs.
Zhang Ping'an also heard it in the front yard, and his thoughts were the same as Xu's.
Fortunately, Grandma Zhang arrived in time and stopped the quarrel with a loud shout.
Ma and Zhang Xiaogu were still feeling indignant, but they didn't dare to cause any more trouble and went back to their rooms.
Zhang sighed and looked at Zhang Ping'an intently when she returned to her room.
Zhang Ping'an put his hands behind his back and nodded slightly, meaning that he would handle it himself.
Zhang Laoer also looked over worriedly.
"Dad, we can't let my aunt and her family stay, otherwise they will be a disaster sooner or later," Zhang Pingan said directly after returning to his room. "After all, she is your biological sister, I have to tell you about this."
"Dad knows what's important and what's not. I won't hold you back," Zhang Laoer replied heavily.
