Chapter 1354

Although Yan Qingyi had eaten at the market before, in order not to arouse everyone's suspicion, she would still eat some.

Halfway through the meal, seeing that Miao Lan had not returned, Chen Quan became anxious.

After he glanced at Yan Qingyi, then at Chen Jiayin, he finally couldn't help but speak.

"Where did your mother go? Why didn't you come back so late? It's already dark!"

Chen Quan's tone was a little anxious. Although Miao Lan usually goes too far with him and these children, she is also his mother-in-law. She has been through thick and thin for so many years. Now that she has not come back, he is sure will be anxious.

When Chen Quan said this, everyone felt strange.

Miao Lan is the fastest runner when dinner is usually served at home. For fear that she will not be full, she never delays eating. Why hasn't she come back so late today?

"Did Mother go to play somewhere and then forgot the time, so she didn't come back?" Chen Hannong said suddenly.

"Impossible. It's just dinner time. Even if my mother has something to chat with, she will definitely be ready to come back when it's time to eat!" Chen Jiayin said.

"Or should I go looking everywhere?" Chen Quan said.

"Don't look for it!" Yan Qingyi suddenly put down her chopsticks, it was time for her to pretend, "When I came back, Aunt Zhou told me that she saw her sneaking out of the village, and she didn't know where she went. I thought she would come back when it got dark, who knew she hadn't come back so late!"

Originally, everyone could understand that she was going out to play, but as soon as they heard the words "sneak", they knew that it would not be easy for her to leave.

"Did you go back to grandma's house?" Chen Hannong said.

"If she goes back to her grandmother's house, she will definitely tell us!" Chen Jiayin frowned, "Since she didn't say it, she definitely didn't go back to her grandmother's house. Miaoying also said that her mother would slash her with a knife in the afternoon. , why did you suddenly go back to your grandmother's house?"

"What?" Chen Hannong asked, "Mother actually slashed the little girl with a knife?"

"Isn't it!" Chen Jiayin said, "Fortunately, the little girl was not injured, otherwise, the village might have laughed at our family!"

This is really surprising.

Although Miao Lan usually treats Chen Miaoying badly, the worst thing she has done is to slap her a few times, but she has never slashed her with a knife!

"Did you make your Nyon angry, and then she ran away?" A malicious flash flashed in Chen Quan's eyes, "Say, is it you!"

"Dad, you should ask me if she took all the family's money!" Yan Qingyi hated the most when others looked at her in this way.

Chen Quan rolled his eyes, dropped his chopsticks and walked into the house.

Chen Jiayin and Chen Hannong glanced at each other, and then followed. Now is the beginning of the good show, how could Yan Qingyi let it go? So she followed suit.

Chen Jiayin went back and brought the kerosene lamp into the room again.

On the cabinet beside the bed, there was a red box, which was the dowry given to Miao Lan by his father-in-law and mother-in-law when Chen Quan married Miao Lan.

The money at home, Miao Lan is usually locked inside.

Miao Lan was afraid that they would move the money in the box, so she kept the key on her body and never left. So the box is always locked.

But now, the box has been opened, and the lock on it does not know where to go.

Chen Quan clenched his fists, and after carrying the box onto the bed, he opened the lid of the box.

In addition to putting the money in, Miao Lan also kept some new towels, birth certificates of several children, and some melon seeds and peanuts that she usually bought and was reluctant to give to her children, so she hid and ate them secretly. .
