"I... I'm telling you, you absolutely mustn't do anything reckless!" Meng Yun'er's heart skipped a beat; this pottery jar contained the black dog's blood she had prepared for Ma Xiangu.
The girl bit her lip lightly, trying to straighten her back a bit. "I don't care where you came from, you've taken over my sister Hua'er's body, this can't be over!"
You've only managed to escape this ordeal by sheer luck, but don't get too cocky!
Next time I will definitely ask an expert to absolve it…
Halfway through his sentence, a snapping sound was heard.
His lowered gaze caught sight of the broken pottery shards scattered at his feet.
In the blink of an eye, crimson blood dripped from her eyelashes, and all she could see was wet black dog blood. Her moonlit dress clung stickily to her body, and the stench was overwhelming.
Just then, a sudden pain shot through my abdomen.
She felt herself being suddenly kicked away, the scenery along the riverbank rushing past her, and in her wide eyes, she saw Su Hua's expressionless face reflected in her eyes.
"Aaaaaah!! Help!! Su Hua!! You dare to harm me, I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you..."
A mixture of fearful cries and the sound of a splash as someone fell into the water rang out.
Su Hua lightly dusted off her sleeves and raised her little hand to the villagers who were already dumbfounded, "Every eligible young man here needs to hurry up and make a move!"
The only daughter of Master Meng is in the water!
Whoever can jump into the river to rescue her will be able to take the beauty home.
Later, Master Meng died.
"His family fortune must belong to at least half of the Meng family's wealth!"
This time, it wasn't just the villagers from Shanghe Village who came to the end of the village to watch the ghost-catching; there were also several idle bachelors from the neighboring village. Before they could even react to Su Hua's words, Wang Ergou, who was mixed in with them, suddenly lit up and plunged into the water.
Seeing this, the bachelors all jumped into the river.
In an instant, the riverbank was filled with the sound of splashing into the water.
"Get away! Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer..." Meng Yun'er stopped struggling abruptly when she saw the men swimming towards her. Her full moon-shaped face turned pale with fright. "Get out of here! Get out of here! I can swim! I don't need you to save me!"
She really can swim, and she's a very good swimmer.
The river water was far too shallow to drown her; her cries for help were merely an attempt to frame Su Hua for murder.
Unexpectedly, that vile woman Su Hua not only splashed black dog blood on her and kicked her into the river, but also came up with such a vicious trick.
She's a young woman; if another man touches her...
Let alone the young master Qin from the county town, even young master Feng would probably look down on her.
However, there was a bait worth half of the Meng family's fortune hanging in front of them.
The bachelors swam even faster.
Su Hua stared at the people who rushed towards Meng Yun'er like they had just finished digging a hole, her almond-shaped eyes filled with a chilling coldness.
She wasn't exactly a good person to begin with; she always repaid kindness with kindness and avenged wrongs with vengeance.
Half a month ago, Feng Zicai and Meng Yun'er staged a scene of catching the adulterers in a dilapidated temple to force the original owner to break off the engagement, hoping to ruin her reputation. In the end, however, they took the original owner's life. She has always remembered this grudge on behalf of the original owner.
Now, ruining Meng Yun'er's reputation is just a small interest payment.
However, the most painful form of revenge in this world is not killing the other person.
Instead, it's about gradually taking away what the other person cares about most.
This reputation is the first step; the next step is the Meng family noodle shop.
As for Feng Zicai of Fucheng Academy, we'll take her step by step after her business expands to Fucheng.
Scumbags and bitches, not one less.
A mountain breeze blew, causing the reeds to sway gently. Meng Yongfu hid behind the reeds, watching the girl being escorted into the courtyard by the Su family, and then glancing at the noisy riverbank. He almost gritted his teeth.
How could Meng Yongfu raise such a stupid daughter?
The small courtyard at the end of the village.
As soon as the courtyard gate was closed.
Mother Qian then took Su Hua's hand and asked her with great warmth, "Hua'er, you must have been terrified just now. That Meng family girl is really no human being, actually coming up with this ghost-catching trick to harm you!"
Don't worry, if she dares to cause you trouble again, just tell your Aunt Qian.
Aunt Qian will definitely help you beat her to a pulp.
She was really envious of the fact that someone could earn twenty taels of silver in less than half an hour.
She couldn't help but think that it would be nice if this girl from the Meng family came to catch the ghost that was possessing her.
Then these twenty taels of silver belong to the Qian family.
Su Hua's lips twitched slightly. The way Qian's mother looked at her didn't seem like she was looking at a junior, but rather like she was looking at a shiny lump of gold.
"All you do is spout this useless hindsight! I don't know who it was, but when they saw Meng Yun'er bringing that sorceress to capture Hua'er, they were so scared they collapsed to the ground. The whole family didn't dare utter a single word from beginning to end! And they looked at Hua'er with eyes that avoided her like the plague!"
Su Bai scoffed coldly.
They pried open the woman's fingers, one by one, from Su Hua's wrist.
With sharp, slanted eyes, he said, "This meal is long over. You should hurry back before it gets dark and you can't walk anymore."
Seeing that the mother and daughter were not responding at all, Qian's mother slapped her thigh and laughed, "It's alright since it's dark. There are only five of us in our family, plus two little kids. We can just squeeze in with our in-laws."
“Okay!” Su Bai pointed to the chicken coop and stable next to her. “These are the only two places in the house where we can squeeze in. You don’t mind, do you?”
"Uh, this!"
Even the usually shrewish Mrs. Qian looked somewhat embarrassed. "Since your house is so crowded, we'll head back soon. We certainly won't cause you any trouble. However, before we leave, I have a favor to ask, but I don't know if I should say it..."
"If you don't know whether you should say something or not, then don't say it!" Su Bai interrupted coldly.
He called out to Su Erhu, who was standing to the side, "Erhu, send your mother-in-law's family on their way!"
"In-laws, don't be in such a hurry." Seeing that Su Baishi was seeing the guests off directly, Qian's mother dared not delay any longer. She pulled Qian Da over and smiled broadly. "In-laws, I just heard that Hua'er is going to Qingshui County to start a spicy hot pot business."
Your nephew happened to have been busy in Qingshui County, and he has a wide network of connections in the county.
We're all family, so let's not be formal. From now on, I'll have your nephew and niece help out at Huaya's stall!
Hua is a young girl, and she's so beautiful.
Spending all day out doing business at a stall, you're bound to encounter some clueless people.
But as long as your nephew is here, none of this matters!
The more Qian's mother talked, the more reliable the matter seemed to her.
Before coming to the Su family, she originally wanted to ask Su Baishi for the recipe for snails.
A job that earns one or two taels of silver a day, she just gives it up like that. Only someone like Su Baishi, who doesn't know how to manage a household, could do that!
But ever since she learned that the Su family was going to start a spicy hot pot business, she was instantly tempted.
No need to wade into the cold river to catch snails, just blanch some vegetables in soup, set up a stall, and you can earn just as much as you would scramble snails. There's absolutely no need to hesitate about which one to choose!
