206 Returning to Stoneback Village
Gu Qingming drove with her grandmother. Before they entered the village, everyone was already waiting at the entrance.
Grandpa stood in front, looking expectant. He said, “Didn’t you say they were almost here? Why aren’t they here yet?”
Eldest Uncle comforted him. “Dad, don’t worry. Mom, she’s already back safely with Mingming.”
Grandpa said angrily, “Do you think your mother is senile? Can you believe Li Hongmei’s words? She left with someone so stupidly. Li Hongmei is the same. Why is she always making things difficult for our family? Did we dig up her ancestral grave? Or is there some other deep hatred that’s targeting our family!”
Eldest Uncle’s expression was also a little ugly as he said, “Fortunately, Mom has already returned home safely.”
When they thought about how no one could contact them in the morning, they became anxious.
After asking the people under the tree at the entrance of the village, Eldest Uncle found out that Li Hongmei had gotten into a black car with his mother.
“No, why did Li Hongmei lie to your mother about getting into that car? Who was in that black car?” Grandpa asked suspiciously.
Eldest Uncle said, “We can only know when Mom and Mingming come back!”
As they spoke, they saw the car drive up to them.
“They’re back, they’re back!”
Everyone was very excited.
Ever since Grandma Shi left with Li Hongmei and there was no news, the entire village had been helping to find her.
Especially Shi Bangqing. Before he could get through to Li Hongmei, he had a very bad feeling.
He thought to himself, “Will anything happen?”
However, Li Hongmei and Grandma Shi were adults, not children.
Even if they called the police, it would take 24 hours.
Hence, everyone in the village looked for it without any clue. They were anxious.
Fortunately, not long after, Gu Qingming called back and said that her grandmother was with her. Only then did everyone feel relieved.
“No, didn’t Mingming go to the county city? Why did she meet Grandma?” Shi Yaoqing was very puzzled.
“That’s right. In that case, could it be that Grandma went to the county city too?”
“No, could it be that Li Hongmei was taking Grandma to the county city? It’s impossible.”
The brothers felt that something was wrong.
“Why did Li Hongmei ask grandma to go to the county for no reason? This doesn’t make sense at all.”
“The question now is, why did Grandma leave with Li Hongmei?”
“When Grandma comes back later, I’ll definitely ask her properly. Why did Grandma leave with her?”
After Gu Qingming parked the car, Shi Yaoqing went forward to open the car door and helped his grandmother out.
However, as soon as Grandma Shi came out, everyone saw a few marks on her body.
It was just the beginning of autumn and the weather was still very hot. Everyone was not dressed in warm clothes.
Therefore, the traces of Grandma Shi being tied up were easily discovered.
Shi Yaoqing’s pupils constricted, and he asked excitedly, “Grandma, what’s with these marks? Did someone hit you? Who hit you? Was it Li Hongmei?”
The marks were one after another. It did look like she had been beaten up.
“Damn it, if Li Hongmei really attacked you, I won’t be polite to her when I see her.”
If Li Hongmei dared to hit his grandmother, she would have it coming.
Grandma glanced at the people around her and shook her head. “Let’s go home first!”
Grandpa sized up Grandma Shi’s entire body. Fortunately, except for the red marks on her arm, he was able to heave a sigh of relief.
Then, he immediately shouted, “Old lady, are you a three-year-old child? Why didn’t you tell your family when you went out? Everyone was looking for you.”
