Chapter 155 Rats make trouble, cats make trouble

After saying that, she glanced at her brother Du Wenjun and patted his shoulder: "Don't be angry, I'm not someone you can easily bully. Just wait and see! There will always be a time when she kneels down at my feet and begs."

Looking at the eldest sister, Du Wenjun's eyes gradually turned red. He didn't say anything, nodded, and went back to the kitchen. In the final analysis, it was because he was useless. If he had the ability, the eldest sister wouldn't have to listen to the nonsense of the wife of the prefect.

He had to do business as quickly as possible and make money as soon as possible. Once he had money, his elder sister might not be troubled by others.

Du Wanwan: “???”

You're thinking too much. With Mrs. Qu's character, no matter who she is, she will be made difficult for her.

Seeing that their daughter was not at fault, Du Jiang and Yao Meixian also went back to work in the backyard, and said nothing else. They knew that their daughter was methodical and they did not need to worry too much.

I just heard someone was making trouble and instinctively wanted to come out and take a look.

Mrs. Qu returned home and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had messed up things in her impulsiveness. If she had really caught Doctor Du, it would have been fine. But if she hadn't, it would have been terrible when the master came back.

She was feeling anxious all day, and the master didn't come back. After dinner, she went back to the yard to rest.

Before I fell asleep, I could hear mice squeaking everywhere under the bed and on top of the cabinets, as well as the sound of mice fighting and gnawing at furniture. They kept coming all night long, and the servants chased them away several times but it was useless.

After about half an hour of silence, the mice came back to make trouble. The servants could not do it lightly, and had to drive them away heavily to have a slight deterrent effect.

I tossed and turned like this all night and didn't sleep well at all.

When she woke up the next day, Mrs. Qu had dark circles under her eyes, she walked with a dizzy head and yawned constantly. It was clear that she had not slept well at all.

She wasn't the only one like this. Everyone in the Qu Mansion didn't sleep well. They all looked listless when they woke up.

Qu Quanwei, in particular, spent the night in the Third Aunt's room. In addition to the pain in his waist and knees, his eyes were like pandas. He had no energy to go to the government office during the day, as if he had smoked opium.

Mrs. Qu was so angry that she quickly asked someone to get some medicine to kill the rats. She vowed not to stop until all the rats in the house were killed.

When I entered the house at dark, I didn't hear any squeaking sounds of mice. I thought to myself, I can finally have a good sleep tonight.

After dinner, the Qu family went to bed early, closed their eyes, and went to sleep. They thought they could sleep peacefully until dawn, but as soon as they fell asleep, many cats came to the roof.

"Meow! Meow!" they cried out in the same fight, and even stepped on the tiles on the roof.

It was even worse in Mrs. Qu's room. A hole was stepped on the roof and three or four cats fell down one after another, right in front of her bed.

The cat was frightened and jumped onto her bed and scratched her face. Mrs. Qu screamed in fear.

Their faces were scratched by several claws and were bleeding. When the maid on duty outside came in, the cats jumped back to the roof along the top of the cabinet and continued to meow loudly.

It seemed as if all the night cats in Liangjun City were called over and gathered on the roof of Qu's house.

Mrs. Qu ordered the servants on night duty to drive the cats around by moving the stairs, but the cats were not frightened at all. If they were driven here, they would go there, and if they were driven there, they would run here.

Anyway, the roof is very big, and no matter how they drive the cats away, they just won't leave and keep meowing on the roof of Qu's house.

The servants tried several times but saw no effect, so they gave up and reported to Qu Quanwei one by one, saying that they could not get him out.

Qu Quanwei climbed up the stairs to take a look himself, and was shocked to see that there were no less than two or three hundred cats of all sizes on the roof of his house.

He didn't know what was wrong with these cats. Why did they have to come to his roof and call? This had never happened before.

This is an anomaly. Is the Qu family going to be in big trouble?

The rats kept making a lot of noise last night, and he had a guess in his mind. This was the first time in his decades of life that he had been disturbed so badly by rats.

Normally, there are special people cleaning the yard at home. I have lived here for so long and this kind of strange phenomenon has never occurred before. Why was it so serious last night?

The cats' arrival tonight was also strange. It would be understandable if they jumped onto the roof one or two at a time, but it was a bit intriguing that hundreds of them jumped onto the roof together, and specifically chose to jump onto the roof of Qu's house.

There were so many wild cats that it was impossible to drive them away. After climbing down the stairs, Qu Quanwei went to the study and sat quietly, listening to the cats' meowing on the roof, feeling a little uneasy.

I thought about whether I had done anything immoral in my life, otherwise how could such a strange thing happen in my family.

He was born and raised in Liangjun City. His father died early, and his mother worked day and night to weave hemp and spin yarn to support his studies.

He was very competitive. He passed the examination for a scholar at the age of fifteen and a juren at the age of eighteen.

Later, he went to the capital to take the imperial examination, passed the exam and was sent to work in another county government for a few years. Later, he was transferred to the government office in Liangjun City. Until now, he has not done anything against the law.

He got engaged to Jin at the age of thirteen and married her at the age of seventeen. Considering that his father-in-law supported him wholeheartedly and that Jin gave birth to children for him and took care of the household chores, he did not abandon his wife.

Even though he took in a third concubine, he had no intention of doing anything to Jin. The concubines in the backyard were all reasonable and had not done anything vicious, so why did the Qu family encounter such a strange disaster?

The cat on the roof kept meowing, and it made it impossible for the Qu family to sleep.

Qu Quanwei felt that this was not a good idea, so he asked Chang Sui to call everyone in the family. He wanted to ask them personally if anyone had done something out there that would enrage God and people, otherwise why would the family be so disturbed?

When he spoke, everyone came quickly. Mrs. Qu and her two sons and daughters-in-law, and the other concubines and their sons and daughters-in-law all came.

The whole family sat down in order of age, all of them looking listless, dejected and distressed.

The cat's meowing on the roof was like a devil's sound, surrounding the ears and making people feel upset.

Seeing that everyone was present, Qu Quanwei, as the head of the family and the initiator of the meeting, was the first to majestically scan the room and speak in a dignified manner: "What have you thought of regarding the rats making trouble last night and the cats making trouble tonight?"

What did you think? Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to answer.

The Third Aunt frowned slightly and glanced at Qu Quanwei: "This is indeed strange. Ever since the Third Grandmother left for the Chu family due to a difficult childbirth, and the Madam went to the People's Hospital to make a scene, there has been no peace in the family."

Mrs. Qu was furious when she heard this: "Third Aunt! What do you mean by that? Are you trying to sow discord?"

The eldest aunt gave a command that was enlightening, and looked at Qu Quanwei: "Master! What the third aunt said seems to be true. I heard that the lady made a scene in the People's Clinic, and even the wife of the county governor and the wife of the mighty general were alarmed."

"Making a scene?" Qu Quanwei fixed his gaze on Mrs. Qu. "Why did you go to the People's Hospital to make a scene?"
