In less than half an hour, almost everyone in the village knew that Gao was missing.

When Gu Dong returned home and didn't see Gao, he went straight to the house of the village chief He Guang. After hearing what Gu Dong said, He Guang also realized the seriousness of the problem.

I also heard about what happened in their family yesterday, but I only heard about it from my wife later. He even scolded his wife, why didn't she tell me? How could the village chief not show up?

Xiao also felt aggrieved. She didn't know about it at the time and only heard about it from others later.

"It's New Year's Day, why can't you just be quiet for a while? Your mother is ignorant, aren't you ignorant too?

You didn't tell me last night, but now you are telling me that if anything happens to your wife, you will be the murderer." He Guang has a good temper, but he couldn't help scolding Gu Dong.

"Yes! The village chief is right!"

Gu Dong said with a sad face: "It's all my fault. I thought she was fine last night, so I came back after I figured it out. My mother also said so, so I didn't take it seriously.

But when it got dark and I still hadn't seen her, I went out to look for her, but I couldn't find her no matter how hard I looked. I didn't want to trouble you."

"Then it won't be a problem this time!" He Guang frowned and called his sons to ask them to call all the able-bodied men in the village to help find Gao.

Seeing that the village chief was also angry, Gu Dong didn't dare to say anything.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, but your wife is the only one in your family who can earn money now, so what if he has some left?

He can't keep some of the money he earns. He has to feed bait when fishing. If you make her happy, she will be willing to give you all the money she earns in the future." He Guang blew his beard and glared.

"Yes~yes~" Gu Dong lowered his head and responded repeatedly.

Almost everyone in the village was notified, except Widow Wu, because there was no man in her family.

In addition, the widow Wu's house was a bit remote, so they had no idea what was happening outside. At this moment, Gao and the widow Wu were drinking porridge and eating pickles.

Widow Wu brainwashed Gao while eating: "If you ask me, you can't spoil your Liao Pozi and Gu Dong. You make a stable income every month, why are you afraid of her?

If it were me, I would not go to work if they pissed me off. Let's see what kind of money they get. Now there are dormitories and food in the workshop. At worst, you can move to the dormitories and see what they can do to you."

Widow Wu became more and more angry as she spoke, as if this happened to her. She looked at Gao, who lowered her head and remained silent.

Widow Wu said angrily, "If you were my sister, I would tear down the Gu family, and Mrs. Liao would just think you are a soft persimmon that is easy to pick on.

I tell you, don't be afraid of her! Don't spoil her, she is Gu Dong's only son. If Gu Dong stands on your side, you don't have to be afraid. "

"Gudong is a good man. He is actually quite nice to me, but he is also filial to his mother. He is caught between me and his mother and is torn." Gao felt lost.

At this point, Widow Wu became angry: "He is just foolishly filial. No matter what his mother does, he always stands on her side. It's so hard to follow a man like this.

My boss is better than your Gu Dong, but it's a pity that good people don't live long!" As she spoke, Widow Wu's eyes became a little dim.

Gao admitted that Widow Wu was right. She had also appreciated this point about him at the time. She thought that he was filial and would definitely be a good person to his wife.

I didn't expect that after getting married, I found out that this mother-in-law was so difficult to get along with. Gu Dong always asked me to be patient. Although sometimes she would help me verbally, there was no substantial performance.

However, over the years, Gu Dong treated her well and was considerate of her. She didn't have any special abilities, so she just endured any hardship.

But now it's different. I earn money every day, work in the workshop, meet more people, and have more experiences. Naturally, I have more ideas.

"Mom, we've finished eating. My brother and I are going out to play for a while." Liu Qian put down the bowl.

Although Liu Qian is only seven years old, she can be seen to be a little beauty, just like her mother.

Widow Wu nodded: "Okay, go ahead! Peng'er, keep an eye on your sister."

"Mom, I know!" Liu Peng nodded heavily. He was also beginning to enter the voice change period and his voice became deeper.

Thinking about going home after breakfast, Gao suddenly lost her appetite. She started chatting with Widow Wu, asking her if she had ever considered remarrying in recent years.

"Remarry?"

Widow Wu sneered: "Don't even think about it. If I were to have such thoughts these days, I would be drowned by their spit. But I also know that even if I didn't have such thoughts, the people in the village would still gossip about me."

"I don't care. Anyway, the mouth is on someone else. I've gotten used to it over the years."

In fact, she had really had feelings for Liang San before and thought about marrying him, but she never expected that bastard would tie her up in the end.

He also stole all her money. She could only bite her teeth and swallow it. From that moment on, she gave up on this idea.

Now that I have a job in the workshop and I farm a little, it is no problem for me to support myself and my two kids.

"Don't talk about me. Take care of yourself. Eat the porridge quickly and go back to be a good daughter-in-law." Widow Wu reminded.

"Dong dong dong..."

There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and someone hurriedly walked in from the yard. It turned out to be Liu Peng.

Liu Peng said to Widow Wu with an anxious look on his face: "Mom, something happened. I just heard from Baidan that his father and dozens of the village chief were walking towards the river, saying that Aunt Gudong is missing." At this point, Liu Peng looked at Gao again.

He didn't understand why Aunt Gudong was at his home and why the village chief and his men went to the river to look for her. He knew something was wrong and hurried back to tell his mother.

"It's bad!" Widow Wu slammed the table and said, "Your Gu Dong probably thought you committed suicide by jumping into the river."

"Why are you still standing there? Let's go!" Widow Wu pulled Gao up.

Gao couldn't understand why her husband thought he had committed suicide by jumping into the river. It was probably because of the hairpin.

Without thinking too much, he ran out with Widow Wu.

The rumor spread in the village early in the morning that Gao had disappeared and her hairpin had been found by the river. The village chief had gathered people and many were heading to the river. Many women gathered together and gossiped.

In the morning, Shen Ping heard the village chief's son He Jing explain the purpose of their visit. Without saying a word, she quickly asked Dadong to take the servants and strong men in the family with him.

"What's going on?" Shen Ping frowned. Afraid that something might happen, she followed out as well.

As soon as she walked into the village, she ran into Widow Wu and Gao. Shen Ping thought she was hallucinating. She rubbed her eyes and confirmed that it was Gao and Widow Wu.

"Ms. Gao, why are you here? I heard that Gudong couldn't find you last night, and found your hairpin by the river. He thought you had drowned yourself, so I was just about to go take a look."

"Mother Dachun, I was at Wu's house last night!" Gao said embarrassedly.

She didn't know that her not going home all night had caused such a big commotion.

"Then you have to go to the river quickly and call them back. It's so cold, and you don't know if they will go into the water to find you later." Shen Ping said hurriedly.

I'm glad Gao is okay. She doesn't want anyone to die looking for her. Going down to the river in this cold weather is no joke. People still have to respect nature.
