After taking a closer look and realizing that it was not Qiao Zhuang and the others, the two of them relaxed.
“Let’s continue on our way.” Qiao Yu and Shen Ge set off for the county city again.
The next morning, Qiao Zhuang borrowed someone else’s three-wheeled vehicle and left with Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui to look for Qiao Yu. In a few days, he would have to give the Guo family an answer. If they lost Qiao Yu now, who could they send over to get married!
Even if they had to call the police, they must find her!
“Qiao Yu! Qiao Yu!”
“Qiao Yu, come out!”
“Qiao Yu, where are you! Go home quickly!”
Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui shouted out all the way, but they still did not see any traces of Qiao Yu and Shen Ge. They did not manage to find anything even when they drove into the county city.
“Father, they have not left, have they?” Qiao Fu asked.
Qiao Zhuang said in exasperation, “Hurry up and find them! Even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you have to find them! Go to the train station and stop them. They definitely don’t have any other way to leave this place!”
The two brothers quickly ran to the train station to stop them. Qiao Zhuang drove around the city angrily, not letting go of any clues.
Qiao Yu and Shen Ge hid in the alley and did not move. It was still early and there were not many people at the train station. They immediately noticed Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui.
“What should we do now!” Qiao Yu asked in a panic.
Shen Ge did not have any idea either. Her mind was blank. When she came out, she did not expect such an outcome at all and was only focused on sending Qiao Yu away.
She only had enough money on her to buy a train ticket.
“Don’t be anxious, they won’t stay here for the entire day! I’ll go lie to them and say that you’ve already left. Wait here and come out only after they leave,” Shen Ge said.
Qiao Yu held Shen Ge’s hand tightly, not wanting to let go. She was afraid that she would never see Shen Ge again.
“Mother… come with me… please…” Qiao Yu begged.
Tears welled up in Shen Ge’s eyes. She held back the reluctance in her heart and shook off Qiao Yu’s hand. “Take good care of yourself. Mother is going back. You have to live on your own from now on. Don’t contact me, otherwise your father will find out. Don’t worry, Qiao Zhuang definitely won’t do anything to me.”
Qiao Yu nodded reluctantly. The two of them looked at each other intently one last time before Shen Ge turned around and rushed into the crowd towards Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui.
In the dark alley, Qiao Yu covered her mouth tightly to prevent her sobbing from being heard. When she saw Qiao Fu and Qiao Gui take Shen Ge away, she still did not dare to go out. Now was not the time. She had to wait until they were really far away.
“Mother, where’s Qiao Yu?” Qiao Fu asked.
“I don’t know where Qiao Yu is. I just came out for a walk,” Shen Ge said evasively.
“Think about it carefully. Don’t lie to yourself here. Father already knows everything. If you don’t tell the truth now, you’ll definitely get beaten up,” Qiao Gui said with a frown.
Although Shen Ge had doted on Qiao Yu the most when her children were young, she still took care of Qiao Gui the most. After all, he was her second child and she had more experience by then. Her eldest son, Qiao Fu, was not grateful to her at all. Instead, he hated her deeply.
“Why are you asking her here! Let’s just go back! She’ll tell us everything after a good beating!” Qiao Fu said disdainfully.
“How can you talk to your mother like that! Even if mother did something wrong, you shouldn’t speak like this…” Qiao Gui muttered softly.
Qiao Fu glanced sideways at Qiao Gui and asked, “Why? Are you also involved in Qiao Yu’s matter?”
“No! Eldest brother, how can you think that way!” Qiao Gui said nervously.
He had been beaten up by Qiao Fu many times and been bullied by him since he was young. After he grew up, he became even more afraid of Qiao Fu, who took all his money to gamble. He did not dare to tell Wang Qin about these things.
“Alright, hurry up and go look for father. Let father decide on this matter. Otherwise, we’ll get blamed for it later,” Qiao Fu said impatiently.
He was thinking that if he had enough time, he wanted to go to the casino in the county city. He did not have time to waste on Qiao Yu and Shen Ge.
Now that he had no children and no wife, he was a bachelor and his family did not depend on him. There was no point in keeping any money, so he might as well spend it on gambling to buy some happiness.
What if he won! Then he would never have to worry about anything again!
At that time, he could choose any beautiful woman he wanted! There was no need to worry about not having a wife.
