After arranging everything, the chubby boy said goodbye to Yan Xia.

This made her feel a little reluctant to part with it.

Although this chubby boy is a bit clumsy and silly, he's not a bad person at heart, and he's quite cute. I wonder if he'll look different in three years.

[Be good while you're in solitary confinement, don't annoy anyone, or they might not feed you. You must be obedient, little fatty. I'll wait for you for three years, and I hope you come back safely.]

Upon hearing this, the system burst into tears. It wasn't human and didn't need to eat, sob sob, but it was so reluctant to part with its host.

[Waaah, I'll be good, bye-bye host, see you in three years~]

As the words fell, the system disappeared into the space.

Yan Xia sighed and continued browsing the mall. Her attention was immediately drawn to a particular item.

【Bewitching Incense】

[Once ignited, all living things within 100 meters, except for the owner, will fall into a deep sleep, impossible to wake by lightning. They will automatically awaken after eight hours, and no instruments will detect anything afterward.]

Price: 25 points

A 10-pound bag of rice in the store costs 10 points, which is actually quite cheap.

Yan Xia immediately bought the incense.

The account points have increased to 25.

As for the purpose of the bewitching incense, Yan Xia revealed a wicked smile.

She crept up to the corner of the wall outside the Chen family's house.

The sun had already set. In ancient times, there were no streetlights, and it was pitch black outside. The Chen family had been exhausted from her commotion all morning, and everyone had gone back to their rooms to prepare for sleep. Only Chen Duoliang and Chen Lishi were still gossiping in bed.

"Old man, I'm in so much pain! You have to get justice for me! That little whore dared to hit me! I don't know if she's possessed or what, she suddenly changed completely. Don't believe the lies she told me, it's all nonsense! Old man, you shouldn't have agreed to the divorce today! That little whore thinks she's all grown up now, she's asking for trouble! Once I'm healed, I'll teach her a lesson!"

Chen Lishi had regained consciousness and had learned the whole story of what had happened that day. Her hatred for Yan Xia grew even stronger.

He brought death to her son, and not only did he eat so much of her food over the years, he also dared to beat her. Before he left, he even dared to slander her, this old woman, for having an affair. Oh dear, she must have been blind to have helped Shouguo marry such a jinx.

They've been harming the Chen family for so many years.

"Take care of her? If you're so capable of taking care of her, why did you get beaten up? Stop causing trouble. At your age, you were stripped naked. If I were you, I wouldn't be able to show my face. I'll pretend I don't know what you did before, but if I hear any more rumors, you can go back to your parents' house. As for that little bastard, just pretend you don't know her anymore. Don't let her come to cause trouble. None of the children she gave birth to are good except for Jin Shou. I don't need such grandchildren."

There were no candles lit in the house; they were precious and farmers simply couldn't afford them.

Therefore, Chen Lishi naturally did not see how dark her husband's face was.

They're still chattering away there.

"Do you still believe that little harlot's nonsense? I've been married to you for so many years, when have I ever had a change of heart? You're really going to wrong me to death, old man! We're both getting on in years, ask yourself, what have I done wrong? You're trying to break my heart. Do you have an affair with that little harlot? Otherwise, why would you always speak up for her? Well, that little harlot was widowed early, who knows how she's seducing people behind the scenes, humph—"

These words were too much, and Li Duoliang instantly flew into a rage.

"Smack—"

He sat up in bed and slapped Chen Li across the face.

"Ouch! You hit me! You actually hit me! I don't want to live anymore!" Chen Li shouted loudly, covering her right cheek, but Li Duoliang covered her mouth.

"I'm ashamed of you, even if you don't! If you want to live a good life, watch your mouth and stop throwing mud at me! If this were twenty years ago, I would have divorced you. Yan Xia is a troublemaker, and you're no better. Do you think I don't know how you bully her and the children? I was just giving you face. If you hadn't gone too far, would she have wanted a divorce and taken the children with her? Since it's already happened, don't bring it up again. It's too annoying. Go to sleep!"

Li Duoliang turned his back and ignored her.

What happened today has been spread throughout the whole village by that big-mouthed neighbor; he's too embarrassed to go out for a walk tonight.

"Waaah, what a terrible thing I've done! I was blind to choose such a person, and now I'm getting beaten and verbally abused in my old age. What's the point of my life..."

Chen Li sat on the bed and cried softly, but Chen Duoliang ignored her completely. Soon, he started snoring. She had only cried for his sake, and since the person in question was asleep, what was the point of Chen Li crying? So she lay down and prepared to go to sleep.

By this time, Yan Xia had been crouching outside the wall for 10 minutes, and her position was just right to hear the conversation between the elderly couple, Chen Lishi and her husband.

After finishing the melon, she took out a bewitching incense from her spatial storage, lit it, and smelled it. There was no scent at all, so she tossed the incense into the yard with a 'whoosh'.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Five seconds later, the entire Chen family fell silent. Even Chen Duoliang's snoring stopped, as did the sounds of the livestock.

Yan Xia climbed over the low wall and swaggered into the old couple's bedroom.

He reached his hand under the bed and groped around.

Until they touched a hole, and inside the hole was a box.

She took the box out.

There's no lock; it opens with a simple tap.

By the moonlight, you can see that there is a lot of silver in the box, about 30 taels, and some copper coins. It seems that this old woman has saved a lot of money.

Yan Xia took them all and stuffed the empty boxes back into the hole.

After leaving the elderly couple's room, she went to the bedroom of Chen Shoujia and his wife.

This is the largest room in the family, even larger than the one the elderly couple lives in.

This is enough to prove their importance in the hearts of the elderly couple.

Yan Xia touched and rummaged around and found a loose brick under the corner of the wall behind the door. She moved the brick out and found a handkerchief wrapped neatly inside.

The handkerchief, when opened, contained five taels of silver and a string of coins.

As usual, she took the cloth and stuffed it back in.

Then press the brick into the hole.

After everything was restored to normal, Yan Xia left Chen Shoujia's bedroom and searched the entire Chen family home. Apart from a few copper coins, she found nothing of value.

After putting the silver and copper coins into her spatial storage, Yan Xia climbed over the wall and left.

She did not enter Chen Jinshou's room, but she did not go in.

The incense, which had been thrown on the ground in the yard, slowly burned out, leaving not a speck of ash behind, as if it had never existed.

"Mother, where have you been? It's getting dark."

As soon as Yan Xia arrived home, her children came to greet her with anxious expressions.
