Chapter 14 Purple Sea Gallbladder
Will the Cai family take the medicine obediently? Of course they will. They are more afraid of death than anyone else. They have endured such hardships during the exile, and no one will give up.
The first, second, and third wives gave the medicine to their children first, and then drank it themselves. As for the two elders, they seemed to have forgotten that there were still those two people at home.
Old man Cai cursed angrily for a whole day but the medicine didn't come. He felt very sad. He had been in control of the Cai family for so many years and thought he knew all his three sons. Now it seems that he still didn't see through them.
I am cruel, but they are even crueler than me.
These three beasts want to kill me and my wife!
His back garden felt warm, and the diarrhea that had stopped started again. The old lady Cai beside him was in a similar situation, her body was as soft as noodles, and she couldn't even move.
The three families who were taking medicine not far away lived in peace for once.
"You really don't care about your father and mother?"
The third child was still a little nervous.
They are committing treason and murdering their parents. It would be disastrous if people knew about this.
Look, the third brother actually doesn’t care, he’s just afraid of being found out.
Cai Laoer sneered.
"You can take care of it if you want. Let them live with your third wife from now on. These two old guys have been treating us like cows all along, and now they are here and they act like masters and mistresses. They can't help at all and still want to eat our food. Anyway, I can't stand it."
He still remembered the look in the eyes of the old man and the boss when they pushed him out. It was he who gave up on him first, so it was right for him to not acknowledge him as his father, right?
After Cai Laoer said this, Lao San became silent and angry.
My second elder brother has three sons, none of whom want to support their parents. He only has one daughter who is still young. How can he have the energy to take care of them in old age?
"Shuyuan, your grandfather and his family loved you the most. They gave you all the good things in the house. Now is the time for you to show your filial piety."
"Aunt, I, cough cough cough...I..."
After taking the medicine, Cai Shuyuan coughed a few times and suddenly fainted. Liu Lian was so angry that she almost fought with Chen Minru again.
"Mr. Chen! My son Shuyuan is already in poor health and is the one who needs medicine the most. Stop being so shady to me. If you piss me off, none of you in the second room will be allowed to drink!"
Cai Laoer glared at his wife. Now was the time for the three families to unite. Why was she making such a fuss? Chen Minru pouted and sat back quietly.
The voices outside the straw hut gradually died down, leaving only the rustling sound of drinking medicine.
A tear suddenly fell from the corner of Old Man Cai's eye. He turned around and saw that his wife had already died. He felt that he was about to close his eyes, so he trembled and took out three pieces of silver from the inside of his belt and swallowed them directly with gritted teeth.
Originally, he was going to give the money to his second son to offset two quotas and buy some food.
Oh……
This life has really been lived in vain.
After a stick of incense, Old Man Cai finally closed his eyes unwillingly.
The news that the Cai family's two elders had not survived spread quickly throughout the village. The villagers had already heard about the Cai family's thefts before, and when they heard that the two elders had died, everyone couldn't help but sigh.
People really shouldn't do evil things, otherwise they will be punished.
The third son of the Cai family had no money to arrange a funeral, so he was said to have just dug a random grave and buried the body. Some people said this was unfilial, while others said there was nothing they could do.
This new thing happened in the village and every family was talking about it.
Yin Huaixi didn't believe that the old couple died of natural causes. She checked the pulse of Old Man Cai and his wife and knew that as long as they took the medicine properly, their bodies might be a little weaker, but it was impossible for them to die suddenly like this.
Unless you didn't take the medicine properly.
As an outsider, she would not say anything about this matter. The family of tough guys were all taught by Mr. and Mrs. Cai themselves.
It's your own fault.
"Brother and sister-in-law, I won't go to the sea today. I want to go up the mountain to look for some useful herbs. Maybe I can make some money by selling them."
"Aunt! I'll go with you!"
Yin Ning answered quickly. She didn't want to look for any marine animals anymore. When she thought of the reef, she felt something crawling on her feet, and got goosebumps all over her body.
It's so scary.
"puff!"
Jiang Wan knew that her cousin was traumatized by the octopus.
"Cousin, don't worry, we will roast the culprit who scared you at noon."
"No no no, I don't eat that."
At this moment, Yin Ning's head was shaking like a wave drum, with resistance written all over his face.
After noon...
It smells really good.
Of course, this is a story for later.
Yin Huaixi quickly took Yin Ning to the mountain to collect herbs. Yin Huaishan didn't have time to go out today, so he went to the mountain to cut bamboo and make some simple household items. Song Wenhui also went with him because all the bamboo shoots they had dug before were lost, so she went to dig them all back.
Although bamboo shoots are not meat, they are large and filling. Compared with clams, which have heavy shells and little meat, Song Wenhui still thinks bamboo shoots are more economical.
So today Jiang Wan was the only one left in the sea.
When they were going to the sea, the beach was full of people, so the family members were relieved. Jiang Wan was not afraid either, after all, she was an adult soul, and she felt more comfortable when she was alone.
Carrying a basket on his back, taking a small shovel and a handful of dry grass, this was what Jiang Wan prepared before going to the sea.
This time I didn't go to the reefs I had visited before. I ran a little further away, hoping to find a beach with sand crabs. However, I didn't see any sand crabs and instead walked into another reef.
This group of reefs is half submerged in the sea water, and the water is so clear that you can see all kinds of rocks on the bottom of the water. Jiang Wan picks up one or two beautiful rocks and shells when she sees them. From time to time, you can see big snails on the underwater reefs, and occasionally there are piles of spicy snails.
Spicy snails are smaller than oyster snails, but their spicy meat is a breath of fresh air in this place where people eat light food. Jiang Wan likes them very much and will grab a handful whenever she sees them.

Before I caught two crabs, I had already caught half a basket of conches.
Eh? There seems to be something purple moving in the crack of the stone.
Jiang Wan walked a little closer, and her eyes lit up.
Oops, it’s a purple sea urchin!

I was really lucky today. I encountered such a treasure not long after I came out.
Sea urchin is much more nutritious than the clams, crabs and conches we have at home. It can really nourish yin and strengthen the kidneys.
"Come on, follow me home~"
Jiang Wan grabbed the shovel and prepared to dig it out.
“Don’t touch it!!”
A loud roar startled Jiang Wan, and she looked behind her but there was no one there. She looked carefully and found that the person was on the water.
The man who called her was paddling a bamboo raft closer and closer to her.
Huh? Looks familiar...
Ah, it’s the older brother who helped my cousin (not the male protagonist).
