Chapter 108 Doll
After seeing Qin Yi and Lin Li off, Su Tong went back to the house and found the atlas that Dongdong's grandmother had given her. After searching carefully, she found the location of Xiaoya Village in the map folder of a county in Sichuan Province.
It was a narrow village sandwiched between a large mountain valley, with no roads around it. There was a mountain road of more than 100 kilometers from Yunshan Village.
Su Tong looked at the markings on the route and couldn't help but sigh. Not only was the mountain road rugged, but there were also cliffs and ravines. Ordinary people with poor physical strength could not walk on it, let alone the injured and sick.
It seems that it will not be easy for Qin Yi and his team to complete their mission successfully.
The next morning, Su Tong and the two old men took their medicine and did some exercises as usual after breakfast, and then went to Wu Qiuyu's house carrying a small backpack.
She still has important matters to discuss with Old Lady Wu.
Before I even entered the yard, I heard the sound of quarreling coming from inside.
"She's our mother after all, you can't just ignore her!"
"I don't care what she does! I cared about that girl Wu Tong because she paid me before! Now that old woman has made that girl half dead, why would she give me money!"
"I think you are obsessed with money! Isn't something wrong with my eldest brother's family now? I don't care who will take care of it now!"
"You treat her as your own mother! Does she treat you as her own son? That old woman not only harmed Wu Tong, but she also poisoned your daughter! Do you know what's going on? Your daughter was poisoned and didn't wake up for most of the day and the whole night! She only has that troublemaker Wu Jiafu in her heart! She doesn't regard our second branch as a relative at all!"
…
It sounds like Li Cuixiang and her second uncle Wu Dajun are arguing.
Su Tong stopped at the door for a moment, then pushed it open and went in.
When the two people in the yard saw Su Tong, they were stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Su Tong stepped forward and greeted him.
"Uncle is back! Working on the dam must be hard!"
"Second Aunt, I'm here today to pay you your wages. Don't worry! I won't give you a penny less than what I said."
No matter how thick-skinned Li Cuixiang was, she couldn't save her face at this moment. She lowered her head and mumbled a few words, then finally pulled Su Tong over and said:
"Tongya! You don't know, the old woman was making a scene in the house, and asked Dajun to find someone to get Jiafu out. What do you think Jiafu did? I heard that what he did outside was..."
Li Cuixiang exaggeratedly made a gesture of scratching her neck.
"You can't just do it! What's the point of her making trouble for us? I don't want to care about it anymore!"
Wu Dajun also had a sad face. He just said to Su Tong, "Come in and sit down!" and walked out with his hands behind his back.
Su Tong took out seven yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Li Cuixiang's hand, "Second Aunt, I'll give you this five yuan salary and two yuan bonus first."
Li Cuixiang held the banknotes in her hand and smiled brightly, "It's not time yet!"
"It's okay, just give the money first, and Second Aunt will continue to do what she should do."
Li Cuixiang was a little confused and lowered her voice and said, "Tongya! You know everything about what Wu Jiafu and the old woman did! You are still treating her! Besides, you... you have nothing to do with the old Wu family!"
Su Tong was silent for a moment, thinking of the wish in Wu Tong's notebook, and murmured: "It can be regarded as a wish for her!"
"What?" Li Cuixiang didn't hear clearly.
Su Tong didn't say anything more, just turned his head and looked at Li Cuixiang steadily and said:
"Second Aunt, let me ask you a question. Why did you use wild ginger instead of ginger to make herbal tea for Old Lady Wu? According to the amount I mentioned, five kilograms of ginger should be enough to last until the New Year..."
Li Cuixiang didn't expect Su Tong to suddenly bring up the matter of ginger, and she was unable to answer for a while.
Su Tong's heart sank, and he asked directly, "Did you know before that Old Lady Wu drugged Qiuyu and me?"
If Qiuyu hadn't said that Li Cuixiang had replaced the ginger with wild ginger, she would not have failed to notice that there was something wrong with the medicinal tea.
Li Cuixiang's face finally changed. "Tongya, you, you doubt me? Okay! I admit that the ginger was taken back to my parents' home by me, so I used wild ginger to make up the number... I, I am a little stingy and greedy, but I am not so conscienceless as to harm my own daughter! I..."
"Okay! Your words are enough."
Su Tong didn't listen to her finish and went straight into the house. As long as Li Cuixiang still had some awareness and bottom line as a mother, Qiuyu wouldn't have a hard time in the future. Otherwise, she didn't mind cleaning up together.
Qiuyu came in from the backyard at this time, holding a basket of dried radishes in her hand. When she saw Su Tong, she put the basket on the ground and pounced on him.
"Sister, why are you here? Are you feeling better?"
"Almost fine. Have you not been feeling dizzy these past few days?"
"I felt a little dizzy when I woke up on the first day, but I'm fine now."
Su Tong nodded, then raised his chin towards Old Lady Wu's house, "I'll go over and take a look, you go ahead and do your work!"
Qiuyu tugged at her sleeve, signaling her not to go in. Su Tong patted her hand and said, "Stay outside and don't come in."
When he lifted the door curtain, Su Tong realized that the old lady was really noisy. The bowls, chopsticks and cups were all lying on the floor, the quilt was half hanging on the bed and half on the floor, and the cotton wool and straw on the bed were all lifted up...
Old Mrs. Wu huddled in the corner of the bed, her eyes red and her hair disheveled, staring at the door with a vicious look on her face.
Su Tong stepped over the obstacle on the ground calmly and said:
"It seems that grandma has recovered well, otherwise she wouldn't have been in such a mess!"
"You are a nemesis with bad luck! Why don't you just die? It's you who has harmed the Wu family! You have harmed the Wu family! Get out of here!" Old Mrs. Wu spoke with viciousness as soon as she opened her mouth.
Su Tong moved a chair and sat down in front of Old Mrs. Wu's bed.
"Almost! I was almost killed by Old Man Tian's sickle. Grandma, that bowl of medicine was very good! You were determined to send me away!"
"You deserve to die! You should have died long ago! It's you who ruined the Wu family! It's you who ruined the family's wealth! You shouldn't have been allowed to come into this world! You shouldn't have been allowed to live! You shouldn't have been allowed to come into this world..." Old Mrs. Wu kept repeating herself, as if she was possessed by a ghost.
Su Tong noticed that Old Lady Wu was not in good condition, so he reached out to check on her. He discovered that she had a high fever, which must have been caused by the fright she had suffered in the past two days. She was obviously not fully conscious.
She sat back and asked calmly:
"Grandma, are you sure it was me who harmed the Wu family? I heard that when I was young, I was lucky and blessed. When there was a famine, the Wu family had surplus food to eat. Think about it carefully... When did my bad luck start? When did I become a disaster star?"
Old Mrs. Wu seemed to have remembered something. She suddenly turned over and knelt down. She began to bow towards the corner of the room, muttering non-stop...
"Great Immortal, may you bless me! Great Immortal, may the Wu family prosper! Great Immortal, may our family be rich and safe! Great Immortal, may you bless me..."
Only then did Su Tong realize that her leg that had suffered a stroke could move again, but her hand was still not very flexible.
This old lady is really something. She clearly knows that I am helping her with treatment, but she still helps her grandson to harm others. Her own legs and feet are not as good as her grandson's!
"Grandma, the Immortal is watching! I want to ask you a question in front of the Immortal. Is Wu Tong Wang Guilan's biological child?"
Old Mrs. Wu suddenly stopped what she was doing, stared blankly at the corner of the room, and suddenly prostrated herself.
"Great Immortal, help me! Great Immortal, save my grandson. You said that as long as this child is alive and well, the Wu family will prosper. But this child is still alive! The child is still alive!"
Su Tong's heart moved, and he immediately asked softly:
"Where did the doll come from?"
