Soon, she found Second Brother and the others. Seeing that they were all up, she said, “You know, you know—”

“What does Mother know? What’s wrong?”

Eldest Li and the others asked.

Second Li was a little worried about Sister Fu. He wanted to go to Sister Yan’s room to take a look.

Sister Fu was in Sister Yan’s house last night. Just now, he vaguely heard his mother scolding Sister Fu. Was Sister Fu not up yet?

If that was the case, he was worried that his mother would hit her!

He hadn’t moved.

Old Master Li, who had not appeared all this while, slowly walked over from the other side. He puffed on the hookah in his hand and said directly, “If anything happens, just tell me!”

Madam Li opened her mouth to speak.

Li Yan’er pushed past the people in front of her and walked forward. When she reached Grandma, she held her and looked at Grandpa. “Grandpa and Grandma.”

Madam Li looked at her and forgot about something. “Sister Yan, why are you up too? It’s still early. Weren’t you still asleep when I woke up? You should sleep a little longer.”

She loved her so much that she wanted her to go back to sleep.

Old Master Li was the same.

Li Yan’er acted like a spoiled child and glanced at her parents. She saw her parents looking at her. Her younger brother, Eldest Aunt, two cousins, Eldest Uncle, and Second Uncle looked at her. She said, “Grandma and Grandpa, I heard what you were saying and got up. Just…”

“Just now.” Madam Li became angry again.

“What happened exactly?” Li Yan’er whispered.

“Sister Yan, my poor granddaughter. Last night, that unfilial and disobedient girl, Sister Fu, snatched her room! She could only stay with an old woman like me. The old man even went to sleep in the hut alone. Last night, I didn’t sleep for the entire night. I was thinking about why Sister Fu had become a different person. When she came back, she was disobedient and snatched your room. We knocked on the door together but she didn’t open it. This morning, I went to look for her to see what she was thinking. Unexpectedly, there was no one in the house. I looked everywhere, but there was no one. I don’t know where she went! I think she ran away!”

Madam Li looked at Sister Yan and howled. As she spoke, she felt that she had really wronged her granddaughter.

It was all because that b*tch Sister Fu had snatched her room.

She won’t be living in that room from now on, will she? No, where exactly did that wretched girl go. She didn’t run away, right?

She wanted her to work early in the morning!

Who would do the housework if she ran away? Was she afraid that she would find her?

She wondered where that wretched girl could have gone. She—

“Grandma, you said Big Sister is missing?”

Li Yan’er looked at her grandmother in disbelief.

Eldest Lisan, Madam Li, Madam Wang, and Madam Yu did not believe her either. Was Sister Fu that bold?

Where could she have gone?

She left early because of last night. Was she scared?

Madam Yu looked at her daughter, Sister Yan, and said to her mother-in-law, “Mother?”

“What are you shouting for! I don’t know either. Don’t ask me.” Madam Li waved her hand unhappily. “Anyway, there’s no one left. I don’t know where she has gone. Go and see for yourself. Otherwise, I won’t call you!”

“How did Sister Fu disappear?” Eldest Li asked.

Third Li thought, “Was she scared? She went somewhere yesterday and came back like that!”

“Obviously!” Madam Li barked.

Li Yan’er opened her mouth. How dare Li Fu’er run away?

She looked at Second Uncle.

Second Li was about to say something.

At the side, Old Master Li suddenly said in a deep voice, “So what if she ran away? She’s already grown up. What did I get from raising her until now? I only treated her like that for her own good! Second Brother, take a good look. This is your daughter. When you find her, teach her a lesson!” Then, he looked at Second Brother!

Second Li said, “Dad!” He didn’t know where Sister Fu could go. If they did this, she won’t have anywhere else to go.

He initially thought about getting up in the morning to look for her.

He would talk to her and ask her to apologize. He would accompany her again, but he was afraid she would be too tired to wake up. Now he regretted it!

“Second Brother, didn’t you hear what I said?” Old Master Li roared when he saw that Second Brother didn’t react.

“Father and Mother.” Second Li looked up to say something.

“What are you going to say? Look at you!”

Madam Li cut him off with a displeased expression.

Second Brother was also angry. He was so devoted to his wife and wouldn’t marry anyone even after her death. He didn’t listen to them!

If only they had a son.

Instead of a son, she gave birth to an unlucky daughter!

In the past, she didn’t like her second daughter-in-law!

Now, Sister Fu was also…

When Madam Li thought of this, she was about to say something when she suddenly smelled smoke. She looked at the old man and said, “Old man, why are you smoking so early in the morning? Why are you even smoking? You can’t die early!” He had just woken up and was already smoking a hookah. This hookah was not for nothing!

Even if they had some money at home, they could not afford to spend it like this. It was not easy for them to save up.

Old Master Li wanted to scold the old woman, but in the end, he didn’t.

“Grandma.” Li Yan’er looked at Grandma coquettishly and looked at Grandpa from the corner of her eye. “Let’s talk about where Big Sister went first. Big Sister.”

“Good girl, don’t worry. If she doesn’t know what’s good for her, just let her be.” Madam Li patted her hand and said.

Second Li listened. “Mother.” He didn’t want his mother to say it.

But Li Yan’er began to steer things in her favor.

“Second Uncle, didn’t Big Sister say anything last night? She’s never been like this before. This is the first time. I really saw her come back yesterday. Did she encounter something later that made her like this?”

Second Li’s dark face changed. Sister Fu had mentioned it last night.

She said someone had set her up and wanted to split up the family. Could she have disappeared because he disagreed?

He looked at Sister Yan with growing concern.

“Why are you looking at Sister Yan? Do you have something on your mind? Second Brother!”

Madam Li could tell what was going on. She pulled a long face unhappily and pulled Yan’er closer. “That brat just can’t stand being angry. She’s like this when something happens! She ran away now, but she’ll come back when she has nowhere to go. When she comes back, see if I don’t break her legs…” She continued to curse.

Eldest Li and the others nodded.

Second Li wanted to find Sister Fu.

Madam Li said that he could look for her himself.

Second Li went out immediately.

Li Fu’er, who was in the mountains, did not know what was happening. She locked her mental power on what she had just discovered and quietly walked up. She stopped when she got close.

She was afraid of startling the little thing in front of her.

In front of him was a small squirrel. It was very small and very cute. It had jumped from the tree to the ground and was running and jumping around.

She wanted to catch it and put it in the space.

She stepped forward carefully.

The little thing jumped up as if it knew, jumped into the tree, and ran. It ran extremely fast.

Li Fu’er stood and continued to search for herbs and ginseng.

She kept some of the wild fruits she had picked and put them in her space. She planned to bring them home for her father. Same for the pheasant.

Father wasn’t able to eat much meat at home!

After a while, Li Fu’er found a lot of things. Other than ginseng and herbs, there was no need to look for anything else.

She didn’t know if she’d eaten too many wild fruits or too much meat or if her stomach was worse than she thought it was. Her stomach wasn’t feeling well.

She was already very careful.

She put her hand on it and pressed down, using a medical technique.

She stopped the discomfort in her stomach.

When she was done, she slowly felt much better.

She finally found the expensive herbs and the wild ginseng she was looking for. However, they were not old.

She went over carefully, crouched, and dug them out.

After digging them out and putting them in the space, the sun above her head told her that it was going to be noon. She was not in a hurry to go down the mountain. She found some food before going down the mountain to the county city.

She had some things to sell, and some things to deal with.
