Chapter 101 Mosquitoes
The Liu family was stunned by this sudden news. They didn't expect such a sudden thing to happen, and the person in front was obviously fine.
After Old Lady Liu came to her senses, she immediately felt around and found that the three taels of silver were indeed missing. They were definitely taken away by that little bitch.
She didn't believe the news, nor did she believe that the three taels of silver would fall into the river. When she arrived at the river bank, she saw a circle of people gathered around, and everyone seemed to be discussing something.
"Oh my! What a pity! The woman was walking with the child by the river and she didn't pay attention, so she fell in! When I came to my senses, I saw the rushing river swept the person away in an instant."
"Yeah, before either of us could react, he was gone."
"Oh my, that's such a pity!"
"It seems we should stay away from this river in the future to avoid falling in!"
"Has anyone reported it to the police? Have the Liu family members arrived?"
When Old Lady Liu and her group squeezed forward, they only saw the wet scraps of clothing on the ground. Old Lady Liu knew them very well; they were indeed the clothes that Mrs. Liu was wearing today.
The Liu family was a little stunned. They didn't expect that the person would really be gone like this.
However, there was not much sadness in the expressions of the Liu family, but more regret, especially Old Lady Liu. She regretted Erya and the three taels of silver that were taken away by Liu.
Seeing this, Old Man Liu just said silently, "Let's go report to the authorities and find the yamen runners."
"Old man, Ms. Liu fell into the river and drowned. The police won't do anything about it, right?" Many people have drowned in this river before. For things like this, we can only blame others for not paying attention. Nothing good will come of it.
"Idiot! This is a good excuse to rescue the boss." Old man Liu glanced at the old woman. After all, Boss Liu's wife was dead, and those yamen runners couldn't keep her locked up and not let her out!
Old Lady Liu nodded as if she had suddenly understood. "Oh, that's right! How could I have forgotten about this?" It just so happened that Mrs. Liu's death could allow Boss Liu to be rescued. He was indeed an old man, so smart!
Several people did not delay and came to the yamen immediately. When Zhou, the yamen runner, saw Old Lady Liu, his face darkened. He wondered if the Liu family would cause trouble again!
When Old Lady Liu saw the dark face of Zhou the yamen runner, she was a little frightened, so she slowed down a few steps and hid behind the old man.
Old man Liu felt that the yamen runners didn't like them, but they came for important matters. He pulled out the old woman who was hiding beside him and started to play the victim. Old Mrs. Liu, who was forced to do so, also began to cry about the experiences of the Liu family and her own family.
Zhou Yayi frowned. Why were there still people going to that river? It seemed that he would have to bring a few brothers with him to cordon off the area and prevent anyone from getting close.
This family seemed determined to stay until he released Liu Lao Da, and since the Liu family had encountered such a difficult situation, he released Liu Lao Da who was imprisoned.
I didn't intend to lock him up for long, I just wanted to teach him a lesson.
When Boss Liu saw his family, he couldn't help but straighten his chest and raise his head. Sure enough, his family would definitely find a way to rescue him.
However, he was not happy for long as he was told that Liu and Erya were washed away by the river while escaping.
After hearing the news, he was stunned for a long time, and then he said: "Mom, this is all because you didn't take good care of her. You have to compensate me with a daughter-in-law who can give birth to a son!"
Boss Liu only felt regretful but not sad. He felt sorry that he had lost his wife and son.
Old Mrs. Liu knew she was in the wrong so she had no choice but to agree.
"Mom, don't forget my Hongmei." Liu Laoer said from the side.
"Okay, okay, I got it." Old Mrs. Liu felt overwhelmed and began to resent Liu madly in her heart. She could run away if she wanted to, but why did she take Erya with her? Erya would be worth a lot of money in the future.
No matter how much Old Lady Liu and the Liu family scolded her, Liu... No, at this time she should be called Huang Cuicui. She was no longer a wife of the Liu family. From now on, she would be herself and would not be restricted by any identity.
She asked for help from Boss Liu and the Liu family, and is now heading towards Licheng with Erya.
The Liu family had thought about linking the incident of Liu being washed away by the river to the Pei family, but they had suffered a lot from the lessons they had learned in the past few times, so they did not dare to act rashly.
Moreover, many people saw that Liu was not paying attention and stepped on air and fell into the river, so they could only lower their heads and keep quiet.
This matter came to an end with the deaths of Liu and Erya.
——————
It is the beginning of summer and there are many mosquitoes in the Lingnan region.
Although Mrs. Pei placed mugwort in every corner of the Pei family's house, there were still a lot of mosquitoes.
The first person to suffer was Ji Zhisui. Even though she and Tiantian were sleeping in the same bed, the mosquito seemed to have recognized its master and kept biting Ji Zhisui.
Every morning when she woke up, there would be several red spots on her body for no reason. These were the marks left by mosquitoes.
Old Madam Pei felt sorry for her, and the outside of her room was almost covered with mugwort and various mosquito-repellent plants, but some mosquitoes were still very stubborn and were not affected at all.
Ji Zhisui herself was also helpless. In modern times, she was a mosquito-attracting person. When she stood with others, everyone around her was fine, but she was the only one bitten all over.
Many people laughed and said that their blood was sweeter and mosquitoes liked it more. How come this problem has not been corrected even after traveling through the book, including their own height.
Speaking of this, Ji Zhisui planned to go to the market later to see if there was any goat milk for sale. Goat milk is cheaper than cow milk, and because goat milk has a strong smell, few people drink it.
She has been busy with a lot of things recently and almost forgot about her plan to become taller.
She could increase her height by eating more food, but there was no way to deal with her mosquito-attracting physique. She couldn't just drain all the blood out of her body!
Mrs. Pei pulled Ji Zhisui and lifted her sleeves, and found that there were many more red marks on Ji Zhisui's upper arms as seen yesterday.
Her eyes were filled with heartache, and her voice was filled with indignation: "Ouch! This damn mosquito! Sui Niang, come and sleep with me at night, I will help you shoo away the mosquitoes!"
"Grandma, no need. I didn't feel anything when I was asleep." As long as you ignore the red marks after you wake up, you won't feel itchy.
Besides, the old lady is old. How could she have the nerve to ask someone to stay up late to help her swat mosquitoes? It’s pitch black at night and no one can see.
Pei Yian came out and saw his grandmother pulling Sui Niang's arm and looking at her carefully.
Unexpectedly, that fair arm came into view. Because Sui Niang had fair skin, and Pei Yian had good eyesight, he saw the red dot on the porcelain-white arm at the same time.
