As the three of them squatted in a row by the well to brush their teeth, Yao Lixiang peeked her head over the courtyard wall.
"Good morning, Brother Xiao, Sister Zhang, Shishi."
Her whole face was full of gossip. Zhang Tong, holding a cup, walked over while brushing her teeth.
With his mouth constantly moving, he blinked and asked the other person what was wrong.
The question was naturally about the noise outside.
Just as Yao Lixiang was about to open her mouth, she saw Zhou Shi's little head come closer, her mouth full of foam, her hand holding the toothbrush brushing back and forth without stopping.
His big eyes stared at her curiously, full of curiosity.
Tell Shishi quickly, tell Shishi quickly.
He's also a guy who loves listening to gossip.
Yao Lixiang immediately closed her mouth, which she had just opened.
Unfortunately, this melon is a bit bloody and not suitable for children.
Zhang Tong is shrewd; he could tell from Yao Lixiang's appearance that it was related to what happened last night.
Her heart skipped a beat. Could something serious have happened?
Quickly push the mischievous child next to the man.
"Old Xiao, keep an eye on her while she washes her face, and remember to give her water from the water tank."
She and her husband can use the well water to wash their faces, but young girls can't, as it will damage their skin if they use it for too long.
Then quickly rinsed his mouth and returned to the courtyard wall.
Zhou Shi blinked and took small steps to catch up.
She often got bored in that old place.
Sometimes, when she encounters humans who aren't very powerful, she'll quietly crouch near their resting place and listen to their conversations.
Some were whispering, while others were talking loudly.
Humans call this listening to gossip.
She didn't want her brain to rust, so she often used her brain to talk like humans.
Over time, she got used to it.
She would eavesdrop as long as she sensed no danger.
Actually, she could hear it even without getting close, but it would be more fun if she got closer.
Especially when she's caught eavesdropping, and the humans scream in fright, causing her to flee in panic, that situation is particularly nerve-wracking.
Oh, she's not crazy, she just thinks it's funny.
It was a thrilling game where if you were scared, I was scared too; if you ran away, I ran away too. She really liked it.
Of course, she was a coward; she only dared to experience this kind of thrill on weaker humans.
She dared not approach such a powerful human, for fear of having her brain blown out.
Xiao Dan noticed her little movements and quickly grabbed her wrist.
"Shishi, let me get you some water to wash your face first."
"Egg, Shishi wants to hear some gossip."
Xiao Dan suppressed a laugh.
That brat, she even knows what gossip is.
"If you don't listen, that's an adult's problem. If a child doesn't listen, come wash your face and become pretty."
"oh."
He hurriedly pulled the person to the kitchen, unaware that the corpse had its ears perked up.
Sigh, my brain hasn't been used for days. I need to learn to speak like humans, otherwise it'll rust and cause problems.

"Lixiang, what's wrong?" Zhang Tong asked in a low voice.
Yao Lixiang also lowered her voice.
“That Wang Dali is Miao Lanhua’s sister-in-law. She jumped off the second floor. She broke her leg and, unfortunately, hit her head on a stone, leaving her face covered in blood.”
"I guess Miao Lanhua made things difficult for her sister-in-law. I don't know what she was thinking. Everyone was sleeping soundly, and then she gave us this shock first thing in the morning."
That was so exciting! My heart is still pounding.
Wang Ping'an's home is on the second floor of the family building. According to eyewitnesses, Wang Dali jumped off the railing in his corridor.
Wow, that's really brave.
Zhang Tong: ........
Last night she only contacted Liu Mei and her husband; Yao Lixiang was unaware that Wang Dali was having an affair.
Is it because their fig leaf has been torn off, and they feel ashamed?
If you're so concerned about saving face, why didn't you do this sooner?
Suicide attempt?
Why don't you just jump into the sea?
What's the big deal about jumping from the second floor?
If she dared to jump from the fourth-floor rooftop, she would look down on him.
This was clearly to prevent the affair from getting out and to put pressure on Liu Mei, the women's director.
unlucky.
"Lixiang, has she been taken to the hospital?"
"They were delivered. I saw Deputy Battalion Commander Wang carrying the people away. The two children were still sleepy-eyed when Miao Lanhua pulled one of them and carried the other to follow.
Zhang Tong sneered.
Did they think breaking their leg would exempt them from punishment?
You're overthinking it.
"Lixiang, after breakfast, come with me to Liu Mei's house."
Yao Lixiang felt that Sister Zhang's face had suddenly darkened, but she didn't know why. Nevertheless, she nodded.
"Okay, I'll come find you in a bit."
Xiao Dan went out to exercise, while Zhang Tong and Zhou Shi made breakfast.
Despite feeling frustrated, I can't neglect teaching my child about life and learning.
She explained to Zhou Shi how to measure, wash, and light the fire, step by step.
She was surprised to find that although the child was noisy, he was very patient when it came to learning.
Seeing her sitting on a small stool in front of the stove, feeding firewood into the stove in a very professional manner, all the bad mood that had been ruined by the messy and chaotic affairs in the courtyard disappeared.
My daughter has grown up beautifully.
However, she was exaggerating too early.
She took two eggs out of the kitchen with great satisfaction, intending to scrub the shells clean and then put them into the porridge to cook.
When she entered the kitchen again, the sight before her almost made her drop the two eggs in her hands.
The baby's entire head was stuck in the stove, but she didn't dare to make a sound. She hurriedly put the eggs down, rushed over, grabbed the baby's shoulders, and pulled the baby's head out.
Very well, a burnt smell wafted into my nostrils.
Clearly, several broken strands of hair were curled up on the child's head.
"Shishi, what are you doing? Isn't the fire hot? What if you get burned?"
The little furball, unaware that its hair had been burned, excitedly pointed into the stove.
"Eggs, roast meat, smells good, the corpse is waiting for it to cook."
