【18】Eavesdropping
Liu laughed so hard that her mouth couldn't close and her eyes narrowed into slits.
"I'm so sorry for costing you so much money. No one remembered my birthday. I almost forgot about it myself."
He just picked up a bracelet and tried to curry favor with Liu.
It’s so good to be rich! Su Xueer looked at Liu’s smiling face and muttered to herself.
She glanced into the room again and asked, "Has Brother Zhao been back recently?"
When mentioning her husband Zhao Hengyu, Liu's face instantly became alert.
With his brows slightly furrowed, Zhao Hengyu saved Chi Rui by stealing the money.
Therefore, his current situation is even more dangerous than Chi Rui's, and Chi family's enemies are looking for him everywhere.
He settled Liu and Zhao Yueru in Fengxian Village. In more than three years, he only came back two or three times.
Every time he would come in the middle of the night, give the money and leave.
It's just that once, so stay longer.
That was because she was worried about Chi Rui, so she went to Chi Rui's house in broad daylight to see Chi Rui, and was scolded by the original owner Zhao Yunniang.
Liu looked around and after making sure it was safe, she whispered in Su Xueer's ear: "Your eldest brother Zhao came back once a few days ago, sent some silver home, and then left overnight."
After saying that, a look of worry appeared on Liu's face.
"Oh, what about Zhao Yueru?" Su Xueer asked again.
Speaking of Zhao Yueru, Liu's face was filled with disgust, and she curled her lips. "Hmph, that damned girl, I locked her up to reflect on her mistakes. Today, her good friend Liu Qianqian, who she grew up with, came over, and the two of them were talking inside the house."
Liu put her hands on her hips angrily and continued, "I don't think there's anything good going on when she and Liu Qianqian get together. Maybe she's planning how to piss me off again." Liu's eyes were full of anger.
Speaking of Liu Qianqian, Su Xueer is familiar with her.
The heroine's sister in the book lost both her parents. They grew up together and have a very good relationship.
Even after Zhao Yueru fell into trouble and hid in Fengxian Village, Liu Qianqian became friends with her.
Help her keep the secret.
A life-long friendship.
In the end, Liu Qianqian was shot through the heart by the bad guy in order to save the heroine.
Such sisterhood is really touching.
However, this sisterhood is not for Su Xueer, which is a pity.
A look of envy and regret appeared on Su Xueer's face.
"Mrs. Sanlang, have I delayed the acupuncture treatment for your Sanlang? I will ask her to come over tomorrow." Liu said, glaring at the room.
"Okay, it's your birthday tomorrow, so ask her to go and come back early. Don't delay her from cooking for you. You have to have a good meal tomorrow." Su Xueer said with a smile on her face.
After saying that, she generously took out three strings of cash and gave them to Liu.
Liu Shile's mouth was crooked with a smile, her eyes shining, and she pushed him in a fake manner: "Oh, this won't happen. You just gave me a bracelet, how can I have the nerve to take your money?"
"Sister Zhao, please accept it. Our Sanlang's legs still depend on Doctor Zhao." Su Xueer made up an excuse.
Liu smiled and put away the three strings of money, with an insatiable smile on her face.
Su Xueer actually likes people like this. They are easier to deal with and good at socializing, and everything about them is written on their faces.
People who don't like to be pretentious are actually quite good.
She continued, "Sister Zhao, I heard that Liu Qianqian is very smart. Maybe she is teaching your Zhao Yueru how to deal with you." There was a hint of cunning in Su Xueer's eyes.
"After all, Doctor Zhao usually tells you..."
She deliberately left her words unsaid.
When Liu heard this, her brows furrowed instantly, an expression of anger appeared on her face, and she unconsciously put her hands on her waist. "Humph, if that damn girl dares to plot against me with Liu Qianqian, I will beat her to death."
Su Xueer looked at Liu's angry look and laughed in her heart.
But she said, "Don't be angry, Sister Zhao. Maybe they were just chatting. But Liu Qianqian is really smart, and she's very close to Doctor Zhao. An elder sister-in-law is like a mother. You were a little strict when disciplining Doctor Zhao, but it was for her own good. I wonder if these two little girls will appreciate your kindness."
Liu raised her chin slightly and said, "I'll go and listen. If she dares to say anything bad about me, I will beat her to death, including that Liu Qianqian."
Su Xueer blinked and nodded: "I think it can be done."
The two of them tiptoed to the door and listened attentively.
Only the voices of Zhao Yueru and Liu Qianqian could be heard from inside the house.
Liu Qianqian: "Who is that unconscious man?"
Zhao Yueru: "I don't know either. He was seriously ill and passed out at the intersection. I quietly picked him up. I was afraid that she-yaksha would scold me, so I quietly hid him behind the firewood pile in the woodshed. But she-yaksha still found him."
When Liu heard Zhao Yueru calling her a female demon, she was so angry that she wanted to rush in and hit her.
Amelia Su held down the irritable female demon: “Shh, sister-in-law Zhao, listen again.”
Liu nodded angrily and said she would give him a good beating later.
Liu Qianqian: "Normally, that she-devil in your firewood room wouldn't go there at all, because she never cares about firewood. Why did she suddenly go over there that day?"
Zhao Yueru shook her head innocently.
"Have you offended anyone recently?" Liu Qianqian tilted her head and asked with a puzzled look.
Zhao Yueru was even more bewildered. "That's impossible. I've always been friendly with people."
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he said, "If I had offended anyone, it was that day when I went to give Brother Rui acupuncture and gave Zhao Yunniang a few words of advice. I haven't offended anyone else."
Su Xueer: Oh, a suggestion? Thank you.
Zhao Yueru suddenly understood and said angrily, "It must be that Zhao Yunniang. Did she find out that I picked up a man and hid him at home, and then told the she-devil?"
She grabbed Liu Qianqian's hand and became more and more excited as she spoke. "I remember that day I was beaten half to death, and then Zhao Yunniang came over with Qianyu and carried that man away. So, it must be her, otherwise, how could she suddenly appear?"
After saying this, Zhao Yueru's eyes became innocent and pitiful.
"I just kindly reminded her. Why did she do this?"
Su Xueer: Your threat of pointing at someone’s nose is just a kind reminder.
Why do you pretend to be a white lotus in front of others?
But I don't have to do anything, someone will take care of you for me.
Zhao Yueru inside was also fearless and spoke with increasing excitement: "It's all her fault, it must be her. She almost beat me to death by that she-devil."
"That hag always beats you like this. She's not a human being. This family..."
Before Liu Qianqian could finish her words, Mrs. Liu rushed in with a broom in her hand. "How dare you two little bitches curse me behind my back? I'm going to beat you both to death today!"
"Ah, sister-in-law, don't hit me, don't hit me..."
Zhao Yueru was beaten so badly that she curled up with her head in her hands and kept begging for mercy.
Liu Qianqian wanted to hold Liu back: "Madam Zhao, please stop hitting her. Her injuries haven't healed yet..."
