Could it be that Ah Hui, that troublemaker, really ran away on her own? f reeweb novel.com
Aunt Mei was so furious that her anger was about to explode. She looked at Ye Ling and exclaimed with sternness, “Don’t you know how to deliver her to my doorstep? Now that she’s gone, you have to take full responsibility!”
Yun Jie, unable to tolerate it any longer, hands on her hips, coldly remarked, “Are you out of your mind? We treated your daughter-in-law, and if she ran away on her own, you’re blaming us?
“She’s gone, and I should thank you? Don’t even think about shifting the blame. Where’s your leader? Let your leader talk to me!” Aunt Mei’s attitude was arrogant and overbearing.
Ye Ling sighed. “Our leader is very busy and doesn’t have time to see you. If you’re not satisfied, you can call the police.”
Aunt Mei was momentarily stunned. Why wasn’t Ye Ling afraid at all?
She even suggested calling the police.
However, Aunt Mei quickly realized that she couldn’t call the police. Ah Hui was someone she bought from a human trafficker, without any household registration, essentially an illegal resident. Not to mention whether the police would help find her if they discovered Aunt Mei was involved in human trafficking, they might cause her trouble and take her away for ideological correction.
As for holding Ye Ling and the pharmacy accountable, that was even more implausible. How could they blame someone for a missing person who wasn’t even legally registered?
Aunt Mei stared at Ye Ling’s composed face, sensing that something was amiss but unable to pinpoint it.
Nevertheless, these matters were not the most critical at the moment. The paramount concern was, where was Ah Hui now?
If Ah Hui had escaped in secret, she likely didn’t have much money, making it impossible for her to travel too far. Yet, without any leads, finding Ah Hui remained a formidable challenge.
Aunt Mei stood at the pharmacy entrance, torn. She knew she should return and seek help to locate Ah Hui, but she couldn’t reconcile letting Ye Ling off so easily. She persistently felt that Ye Ling was intentionally opposing her. 𝙛𝙧𝓮𝓮𝙬𝓮𝒃𝒏𝓸𝒗𝓮𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝓶
However, she was well aware that even if she wanted to hold Ye Ling responsible, there was no evidence to support it now. Ah Hui was an undocumented resident, and Aunt Mei didn’t dare to involve the police.
Aunt Mei had never felt so stifled in her entire life. A sense of oppression settled in her chest _
Yun Jie gazed coldly at Aunt Mei. “Is there anything else? If not, you can go ahead and call the police.”
Aunt Mei was nearly infuriated by Yun Jie’s words. She opened her mouth to say something when a woman’s voice suddenly came from behind her. “What’s happening? Why are you both standing here?”
Ye Ling and Yun Jie saw Gao Min walking in with two packages in her hands.
Aunt Mei’s eyes brightened. She promptly realized that this woman must be the one in charge of the pharmacy.
Aunt Mei rushed in front of Gao Min and straightened her back. “Are you the person in charge of the pharmacy?” she exclaimed loudly. “I want to complain about these two, especially Ye Ling!”
Gao Min had initially assumed that Aunt Mei was a villager there to collect medicine. To her surprise, Aunt Mei was now complaining about Ye Ling and Yun Jie. Gao Min was momentarily perplexed, unsure of what had transpired. After hesitating for two seconds, she politely inquired of Aunt Mei, “Why are you filing a complaint against them?”
Aunt Mei had intended to claim that Ye Ling had caused the death of her daughter-in-law. However, she quickly realized that Ah Hui was still alive, making such an accusation invalid.
“Well.” Aunt Mei stuttered before continuing, “My daughter-in-law stayed in the pharmacy for a few days. When I came to pick her up, they informed me that my daughter-in-law had run away. Now that she’s gone, they naturally have to take responsibility!”
After hearing her words, Gao Min was curious.
Why was this person’s daughter-in-law staying in the pharmacy? And how did her daughter-in-law running away relate to Ye Ling and the others?
Although Gao Min was not entirely clear on the situation, having held a leadership position in the town for several years, she had encountered many people intentionally causing trouble.
At this moment, she vaguely sensed that the person before her shared a similar temperament with those who sought trouble.
After pondering for two seconds, Gao Min turned to Ye Ling and Yun Jie. “Is that true?”
“Sister Gao, it’s not what she said…” Yun Jie was anxious and immediately began explaining.
“Enough!” Gao Min sternly interrupted Yun Jie. “I’ve only been away for a few days, and you’ve already caused me so much trouble!”
Observing Gao Min reprimanding Yun Jie and Ye Ling, Aunt Mei couldn’t help but reveal a smug smile. She looked at the two with a sense of satisfaction, eager to witness how Gao Min would handle the situation.
Gao Min only scolded Yun Jie briefly before turning to Aunt Mei. “I will address this matter seriously. As for your daughter-in-law, why don’t you seek assistance in locating her first? If you can’t find her, you can consider involving the police..”
