Oh no! His rural wife is sweeter than a peach!

"Third Miss".

Old Ye, who was following behind her, saw her fall and quickly went to help her up.

"Old Ye, hurry, hurry and go after him and bring him back..."

No wonder Ying Sangrou felt pain in her knees. With tears blurring her vision, she called out to Lao Ye, urging him to quickly chase after Lu Mingshi, who had run away from home.

His home is here, his sister is here, where else could he go?

Urged on repeatedly by her, Lao Ye had no choice but to pick up his feet and hurriedly chase after her.

"Third Miss, wait here, I'll go after them."

Her tender left palm was scratched and cut, and some blood seeped out. Ying Sangrou looked at the wound on her fair palm and knew that no matter how much pain she felt, it was not as heartache as when Lu Ming was in pain.

How could he not be heartbroken after his grandmother said such hurtful things to him?

Old Ye soon returned.

"Third Miss, Young Master Lu, he was already gone when I went out the door."

Old Ye looked guilty for not catching up with Lu Ming.

"I don't know where he went. I walked around outside and couldn't find him."

Upon hearing this, Ying Sangrou's face turned pale with anxiety.

"Quick, call your sister-in-law and tell her..."

"Little Rou, what are you doing here?"

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Lu Luozhi, who had just returned, strolled slowly in through the door.

Being quite far away, she hadn't noticed Ying Sangrou's unusual expression. "Hey, Lao Ye, you're here too?"

Upon seeing her, Ying Sangrou could no longer contain the grief she had been suppressing. Her voice choked with sobs, "Sister-in-law, when you went to find Lu Ming, he just ran out. Old Ye can't find him..."

Lu Luozhi then noticed that something was off about the expressions on their faces.

"What's wrong? Little Rou, why are you crying?"

Old Ye sighed, "Young Madam, it's a long story. In short, Young Master Lu and the Old Madam had a disagreement, and then Young Master Lu got so angry that he ran away from home, saying that he would never come back even if he became a beggar."

Upon hearing this, Lu Luozhi's expression changed drastically.

She knew Huang Maozi's personality well.

For him to say he'll never come back, it means he's truly angry.

These days, he's been living with her at the Ying family's house, dependent on them. This situation is already sensitive enough, and now...

Without saying a word, she turned and ran outside.

Ying Sangrou cried out behind her, "Sister-in-law, please bring him back! He's all alone out there, so pitiful. This is his home..."

Family.

When they decided to leave the village, Lu Mingshi asked her if they would have no home after their grandmother passed away.

At that time, she hadn't figured out how to answer him yet, but the next second he smiled and said to her, "Wherever my older sister is, that's where my home is."

What exactly did Madam Ying say that made him say such resentful things as he'd rather be a beggar than live in the Ying family?

Lu Luozhi rushed out of the house anxiously to go find Lu Ming.

He's a stranger in this place, where can he go?

"When the deer cry out—"

"Yellow-haired boy—"

She called out again and again in those streets.

What was incredibly frustrating was that no matter how much she called out, Lu Mingshi didn't respond at all.

I don't know where he went.

Lu Luozhi regretted not buying him a cell phone.

At least now she can call him instead of searching blindly like a headless fly.

After searching for nearly an hour, Lu Luozhi was covered in sweat, but still couldn't find Lu Mingshi.

Ying Sangrou called her three times, but she hung up each time.

I only replied to her once on WeChat, and I still haven't found her.

Leaning wearily against the wall outside a shop, Lu Luozhi couldn't help but wonder if her decision to take such a gamble and come here with Lu Ming was the right one.

As evening fell, the sky became completely dark.

The city's neon lights came on.

Pedestrians and vehicles on the road were all heading home.

This city is strange; it's both bustling and lonely.

As she gazed around, a thought suddenly flashed into Lu Luozhi's mind: a place where deer might go when they cry out.

Could that blond-haired kid be there?

Once the thought crossed her mind, she couldn't contain her restless heart. She ran to the roadside, hailed an Airbus taxi, and headed towards the only place Lu Mingshi could currently find refuge...
