Seeing no trace of his wife in the yard, his second brother was also nowhere to be found.
He rushed to the entrance of the courtyard and shouted loudly, "Wife!"
A group of birds on a nearby tree was startled, flying off into the sky.
Villager Qian Youfa, who happened to be passing by outside, was shocked and touched his ears, "Chuan, what are you screaming for? You nearly deafened me!"
Xiao Yuchuan asked, "Did you see my wife?"
"Nope. Did you lose your wife again? Seriously, what's with your family always losing wives?" Qian Youfa shook his head and headed for the field, "To save that stinking woman Liu Xianglian, I got all wet and didn't even finish plowing the field. Just changed out of my wet clothes and now rushing to finish the field before nightfall..."
He glanced back at Xiao Yuchuan, "Hey, Chuan, you changed clothes from the ones you were wearing by the river. Why is your hair still wet? Did you try to join your wife in the river jump?"
