The Hunter’s Lucky Little Lady



63 My Son Ran Away?

“Eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, what’s wrong? Are you all dead or in a coffin? You haven’t cooked yet. Are you waiting for me to cook for you?” Aunt Li berated loudly.

However, what Aunt Li didn’t expect was that her eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law still hadn’t come out yet.

This time, Aunt Li was furious. She rushed towards her eldest son’s room with a broom.

However, the door was locked and there was no one inside.

This time, Aunt Li could only bring the broom to the second son’s room.

The room where the second son lived wasn’t locked, but there was no one in it either.

Aunt Li held her breath and her expression turned ugly.

Sr. Li, who felt much better after applying the Tiger Bone Ointment, opened his eyes when he heard the commotion outside.

“What happened?”

When Aunt Li heard her man’s words, she came back to her senses from her anger and recalled carefully.

She hadn’t seen anyone at home since this afternoon.

Usually, her grandsons and granddaughter would come back when it was time for dinner, but no one had returned yet.

Other than that, her two sons had gone to work in the fields. But the sun had set, there was no sign of them.

At this moment, Aunt Li felt flustered.

Hearing her man call her, Aunt Li quickly returned to her room.

“What’s going on today? Why is the house so quiet? Are our eldest son and second son not back yet?”

Aunt Li looked at her husband, who was getting older by the day, and then thought of the calm courtyard outside. Suddenly, her eyes stung and tears streamed down her face.

“We’re the only ones left in the family! There’s no one left!”

As soon as she said that, Sr. Li was stunned. Then, he looked at his wife.

“That’s impossible! They might just have been delayed by something, so they haven’t returned yet!”

Aunt Li opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she felt as if there was a lump in her throat.

“Perhaps it is! Lie down and rest, old man, while I cook for you!”

When Sr. Li heard his wife’s words, he nodded and said nothing more.

After that, Aunt Li went to the kitchen to cook.

She opened the cabinet and saw that there wasn’t much rice or noodles left in the house. It was probably only enough for two meals.

Thinking of this, Aunt Li took out the rice and placed it in the pot.

After that, Aunt Li planned to take out some money and go to the village to buy some food.

However, when she took out the box that she usually kept money in, she realized that the lock of the box had been pried open.

A bad feeling welled up. Aunt Li quickly opened the money box.

The wooden box in Aunt Li’s hand fell to the ground with a loud bang.

Aunt Li’s face was filled with disbelief. She lost all her strength and slowly leaned against the cabinet at the side.

The noise disturbed Sr. Li. Seeing his wife squatting on the ground with a pale face, Sr. Li also had a bad feeling.

“What happened?”

“Old man, the money we saved are all gone!” Aunt Li finally found her voice and said.

“What? Didn’t you lock the money box and hide it? Who would know where you hid the money?” Sr. Li sat up anxiously and complained.

“That’s right, I did hide this money box. No one knows!” Aunt Li said anxiously.

Suddenly, Aunt Li thought of something and her expression changed.

“No, there’s someone else who knows! Zhan’er knows. Zhan’er knew since he was very young!”

When Sr. Li heard this, his expression changed.

If Li Zhan had really taken the money, it was very likely that he had stolen it to gamble.

Thinking of this possibility, Sr. Li was extremely anxious.

This time, their family didn’t have any extra tiger bones to pay off Li Zhan’s gambling debts!

At that moment, a man’s voice came from outside.

“Sr. Li, dot you think your family has too many hoes? You threw the hoe into the ground and didn’t turn the soil over. There’s no one around. Aren’t you afraid that others will take it away? Fortunately, I was kind enough to help you get it back!”

When Aunt Li and Sr. Li heard this, they couldn’t sit still.

Aunt Li rushed out first. After Sr. Li put on his clothes and pants, he also walked out.

“Didn’t you see my eldest son and second son in the fields?” Aunt Li took the hoe and examined it carefully. After confirming that it was her family’s hoe, she couldn’t help but ask.

“I haven’t seen your eldest and second eldest since I left to farm,” Wan Laoliu said with certainty.

“How is that impossible?! They clearly told me that they were going to overturn the largest piece of land in the east today!” Aunt Li asked in disbelief.

“Turning the soil? Not to mention turning the soil, even the weeds have already grown very tall. I didn’t even see your two sons tidy them up! Anyway, I only saw two hoes in your field. I didn’t even see anyone.” After Wan Laoliu handed over the hoes, he left after saying these words.

This time, Aunt Li and Sr. Li panicked even more!

At this moment, a woman returned with a wooden basin filled with washed clothes. Aunt Li quickly stopped her.

“Madam Liang, you went out to wash clothes with my eldest wife. Did you see her come back?”

When Madam Liang saw Aunt Li asking her, she immediately said in surprise, “No! I didn’t see her wash clothes today!”

This time, Aunt Li couldn’t stand it anymore.

After that, Aunt Li and Sr. Li returned to the kitchen in silence. The old couple cooked food for themselves.

Even by the time the moon rose, no one had returned home.

At this moment, Sr. Li and Aunt Li’s hearts turned cold.

The money was gone. The food was almost gone. Only the two of them were left here!

The next day, when Li Xiaoran and the others went out of the stall in high spirits, they saw two familiar people.

These two people were none other than Li Xiaoran’s grandfather and grandmother.

The appearance of these two people made Li Xiaoran wary.

When Li Shun and Zhao Xiu saw these two people, their expressions also changed.

Li Shun hesitated for a moment before finally walking forward and asking, “Father, Mother, why are you two here?”

“Your father and I haven’t eaten yet!” Aunt Li sized up the noodle stall and said.
