Chapter 166
Chapter 166: Choose Another Land
Xia Daohua was a little dazed. She sat on the kang, hugging her knees silently, without moving or speaking.
Lihua hugged her tightly and soothed her softly:
"Daohua, don't be afraid. Everyone will die. It's just that my aunt... died a little suddenly."
Xia Daohua nodded dully. She was a little confused at this moment.
There is one more life on my hands.
However, I had clearly seen Liu's cold and pale corpse with my own eyes, so why did this fact still seem so light to me?
It seems very far away from me, like a hydrogen balloon floating in the air. If I don’t try hard to catch it, it will drift away with the wind.
Am I a cold-blooded and cruel person who disregards human life at heart?
Xia Daohua never expected that the effect of the powder would be so overbearing.
If he had not drugged Liu, she would not have died.
But there is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as a thief who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. Even if he had a cheating device like the Space Supermarket, it would be impossible for him to keep a close eye on Liu's behavior all the time.
If I hadn't replaced the medicine powder, it would be Jiang who would have turned into a cold corpse by now!
If he replaced the medicine powder but did not give the medicine to Liu, then Liu would find out that there was something wrong with the medicine powder. Maybe the next time he tried to hurt Jiang, he would be more covert and careful, making it even harder to guard against.
Jiang gave birth prematurely because of Jinhua, and Liu actually wanted to kill Jiang. What was she thinking?
A life is so light.
I killed one person and saved another. Can these merits and demerits offset each other?
Xia Daohua let her eyes go blank, her mind full of chaotic thoughts, all sorts of threads tangled together and she couldn't make sense of them for a long time.
But she didn't really think about it.
Her biggest feeling was still confusion, the confusion of not being able to find direction.
When Lihua saw Daohua like this, she felt that she was frightened by Liu's death, so she simply took Daohua to accompany Jiang.
Jiang was holding Huaihua and feeding her. Linghua kept coming around and sticking to Jiang, refusing to leave no matter what she said.
She was so afraid that Jiang would become like her aunt Liu, who was fine the day before and suddenly turned into a cold corpse the next day.
Lihua was unaware of what was happening, and Linghua was also frightened.
Seeing that Daohua was just quiet and her eyes seemed more lively than before, but she didn't show any other expression, she pulled Linghua and began to try to comfort her younger sister.
When Daohua saw Jiang looking at the little locust flower with such loving eyes, the confused feeling in her heart was actually alleviated a lot.
Liu might not have committed a crime worthy of death, but she ultimately brought her own death upon herself.
If Liu had not planned and taken action to poison Jiang, none of this would have happened.
…
Zhou had already arranged for her family to change the furnishings in the house, and the clothes of both adults and children were replaced with those of darker colors and older textures.
To be honest, although farm families do not have as many mourning rules as wealthy families, they cannot appear to be all joyful when there is a funeral in the family!
It was getting dark when Xia Yougui, who had gone to the town to deliver a message, returned.
He also brought back the eldest wife's family.
Xia Youcai, Xia Dalang, Zhu, Jinhua, and Yinhua all came. Even the infant A-Liu was brought here by Zhu, who held her in her arms.
The whole family of the first wife changed into mourning clothes and also brought Liu's coffin and shroud.
The matter happened suddenly and there was no time to rush to make them, so they bought these things from the coffin shop.
Xia Youcai's face was filled with sorrow. Jinhua and Yinhua were both crying loudly, looking very sad.
Xia Dalang and Zhu also had red eyes and tears in their eyes.
The heads of other families also looked sad when they saw the state of the eldest family, and some even started crying.
Although I didn't cry as exaggeratedly as I did at a funeral, it was not good to smile in front of a group of people who were crying all the time.
For a moment, the Xia family’s old house was filled with crying.
When the neighbors learned that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xia family had suddenly died of an acute illness, some of them came to inquire and offered to help.
Xia Youcai began to arrange the funeral for Liu.
However, Xia Daohua discovered that beneath Xia Youcai's apparent sadness, there was a cold aura surrounding him.
Moreover, every time his eyes fell on me, I felt uncomfortable as if sitting on pins and needles.
After several times, Xia Daohua became angry.
She suddenly came to her senses - since Xia Youcai could suspect her and even hate her, it was obvious that he was aware of Liu's actions.
Come to think of it, the powerful secret medicine in Liu's hands was probably obtained through Xia Youcai's connections. Xia Youcai must have also been involved in this!
When Xia Youcai once again looked at Xia Daohua with sinister eyes, Xia Daohua no longer felt uneasy. Instead, she glared back angrily with murderous intent on her face.
Xia Youcai was stunned by Xia Daohua's stare - could it be that he guessed wrong, and this girl wasn't the one who did it?
As soon as Xia Youcai heard the news brought by Xia Yougui, he knew that Liu had most likely taken the secret medicine he had found by mistake.
After chatting with Xia Yougui for a while and getting a lot of information out of him, I learned that the night before, the fourth room made ginseng and black chicken soup for Jiang and gave a bowl to each of the sisters-in-law.
At that time, Xia Youcai couldn't help but suspect that there might be something fishy about this black chicken soup.
Therefore, he naturally became suspicious of Xia Daohua, who had brought black chicken soup to each of her aunts and sisters-in-law.
But Xia Daohua's glaring at him just now made him feel that maybe he was being suspicious?
Maybe Liu had put the secret medicine into the ginseng and black chicken soup, but by mistake, she took the wrong bowl? Did she drink the black chicken soup that was supposed to be given to Jiang?
No, it's impossible!
If this is the case, then Liu is simply stupid!
However, if there hadn't been such a mistake, how did Liu accidentally ingest the secret medicine?
Xia Youcai was puzzled.
At this moment, he looked at everyone in the old house and felt that almost everyone was suspicious, yet almost everyone was innocent.
After looking around, Xia Youcai still felt that Xia Daohua, from the fourth room, was the one he disliked the most.
Even if Liu really did something stupid, it was all because of this unlucky star!
Xia Youcai's heart was in turmoil, but he kept a mask of sadness on his face. However, Dalang, Jinhua, and Yinhua were crying for Liu sincerely.
Zhou said to Xia Youcai with a bitter look on her face: "At Liu's age, I'm afraid she will have to choose another piece of land."
Xia Youcai was stunned.
He had forgotten about this.
Liu's death was too sudden, and she was not old enough, so I'm afraid she won't be able to be buried in the ancestral tomb!
But...will Dalang and the others agree?
Xia Youcai glanced at his children. As expected, Xia Dalang and Jinhua exploded on the spot: "No, I don't agree! My mother didn't die suddenly, nor did she commit suicide. Why can't she be buried in the ancestral tomb?"
The chapter has been replaced, good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
