Chapter 30 : Truth

After making sure that zhou bai is in deep slumber ,Su jia pushed him aside and went to the corner of her room where she put a big treasure box containing her stuff .

Opening the box slowly, Su jia took out a bottle filled with pig's blood and returned to the bed .

After opening the bottle , Su jia smeared some blood on the middle of the mattress before closing it and returning it to the box and laying quietly beside zhou bai .

But not long after shrill screams echoed in the yard waking up everyone in the village.

********************************************

After the weeding banquet was over the su's went home .

Su er's wife, Ji yao was green with envy whenever she remembered the huge amount of dowry the old man Su put for su jia .

That old man must've gone crazy to allocate so much money for Su jia marriage to that looser .

She looked at her husband with narrowed eyes and inquired:"Su er did father tell you anything about Su jia marriage ?"

Su er shook his head in denial .

His father didn't tell any of them anything but one thing for sure is that the old men put too much money for Su jia .

Despite knowing that his father favors Su jia more than anyone else , he also suspects that there is more to it than what meets the eyes .

It must be that he is scheming something behind all of this but he can't pinpoint what it is .

"Yao don't go around asking questions, you know how father hates gossiping after him . We will know what this is about when the time comes "

Yao nodded in understanding at what her man said . She will keep quiet and wait for the old men himself to tell them the truth about this matter .

"But Su er this time the money in the house must've hollowed out right ?"Asked Yao

Su er nodded his head while saying:"yes , there is no more money in the house . I will ask permission from father to pull out some goods to sell "

As they were about to sleep they heard screams coming out from the village .

Ji yao frowned deeply at the noise . What could have happened that made the women scream this loud at this hour .

Su er who was about to lay down for up at once and went out to check out what's going on .

The whole village was outside trying to figure out what's wrong .

"I think this scream is coming from the Zhou's. It sounds like chi lan voice ."said one of the village women to her neighbor.

The neighbor nodded and replied :"true , it's her voice . Let's go check what's happening "

As they came closer to the Zhou's house they can see chi lan crying and slapping her thighs while sitting on the floor .

"Zhou Chen !!! Zhou Chen where are you !!!!My daughter!!!!"yelled chi lan hysterically.

The whole village wen in uproar when they heard the news of Zhou Chen disappearance.

Where could the six years old girl go ?

She must've been lost or worse kidnapped .

Therefore ,with the village head instructions, the men who heard of what happened, made groups of threes and started searching for the young zhou Chen .

The women at the side tried to calm chi lan but to no avail so they looked for Lui zan to try her luck only to find her trembling and crying as well .

This made them sigh in sadness and helplessness. They too knew how frightening this is but they can only stand by and watch helplessly so no one thought for a second that Lui zan who was crying and hiccuping was actually the one that is behind zhou Chen kidnapping.

They thought that the women is sad for her niece and since she also have a daughter then she must've felt bad too unlike peng shi who was sitting at the side with an expressionless face that no one can guess what the women is thinking about.

Faced with the concerned faces of the village women , Lui zan wiped her tears clumsily and said that she will make them some tea as she stuttered towards the kitchen evoking the women pity not seeing the smirk that covered her tear stained face .

Minutes turned to hours as the search continued till the sun came up the sky but no trace of zhou Chen can be found .

It's as if she never existed before . The men searched in the fields, the woods and asked around the surrounding villagers but nothing was found .

Finally, zhou fa and his son zhou er made their way to the police station in the town to make a missing rapport .

From that day , zhou Chen became a missing person .

Lui zan who looked at this taking place laughed so much in her heart .

She ,Lui zan , never has she ever made a promise she couldn't keep .

Chi lan , blame no one but yourself for standing in my way .

For because of that ,you lost your precious daughter forever.

Now whenever I'm bored I will remember your crying face for fun .

Hahahaha ,I look forward to your reaction when you know that I'm behind it .

Su jia who woke up to the screams not long ago ,went to the kitchen to drink some water .

There she found Lui zan , her eldest sister in law smirking evilly as she prepared the tea .

Weird, wasn't she crying not long ago ?

Ohhhh ! I see now hehehe !!

Finally, someone I can speak with

This women is going to be my best friend in here .thought Su jia to herself.

"It's you isn't sister in law ?"Asked su jia in a low voice.

Lui zan stopped her movements and looked side ways with her squinting narrowed eyes at Su jia making her heart almost jump from her rib cage .

Lui zan smiled innocently at Su jia and asked back :"so ? Got any proof peaches ? "

Su jia smiled wearily at the older women .

Hah , what a women !!! How the hell did she know about my bed name ? Truly frightening!!! .

"How did you know about that nickname?"questioned su jia .

"Well peaches , I guess if I can make someone disappear, I can as well know about your little secret, right ? " replied Lui zan with a laid back attitude.
