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 dies. It's just that my aunt died a little suddenly."
Xia Daohua nodded dully. She was a little confused at this moment.
There is another life on my hands.
However, I have clearly seen Liu's cold and pale body with my own eyes, so why does 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 powder would be so potent.
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 powder, it would be Jiang who would have turned into a cold corpse by now!
If he had replaced the powder but did not give the drug to Liu, then Liu would have discovered that there was something wrong with the powder. Perhaps the next time he tried to hurt Jiang, he would have been more covert and cautious, making it even harder to guard against him.
Jiang gave birth prematurely because of Jinhua, and Liu actually wanted to kill Jiang. What was she thinking?
A human life is so insignificant.
I killed one person and saved another. Can the merits and demerits offset each other?
Xia Daohua let her eyes go blank, her mind full of random thoughts, all sorts of threads tangled together, making it difficult for her to make sense of them for a long time.
But she didn't really organize these thoughts.
Her biggest feeling was still confusion, the confusion of not being able to find direction.
When Lihua saw Daohua like this, she felt more and more that she was frightened by Liu's death, so she simply pulled Daohua to accompany Jiang.
Jiang was holding Huaihua and feeding her. Linghua kept circling 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 saw this and knew that 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 grabbed Linghua and began to try to comfort her younger sister.
When Daohua saw Jiang looking at the little locust flower with a loving face, the feeling of confusion in her heart was actually alleviated a lot.
Liu may not have committed a crime worthy of death, but her death was ultimately her own fault.
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 adults and children were also replaced with those of darker colors and older textures.
To be honest, although farmers don't have as many mourning rules as wealthy families, they can't appear to be overjoyed 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 his eldest wife's family.
Xia Youcai, Xia Dalang, Zhu, Jinhua, and Yinhua all came. Even the infant A-Liu was brought in by Zhu, held in her arms.
The whole family of the eldest wife changed into mourning clothes and also brought Liu's coffin and burial clothes.
The matter happened suddenly and there was no time to rush to make it, so they bought these things from the coffin shop.
Xia Youcai's face was filled with sorrow. Jinhua and Yinhua were both crying their hearts out and were very sad.
Xia Dalang and Zhu also had red eyes and tears in their eyes.
Seeing the state of the eldest son, the heads of other families also had sorrowful expressions on their faces, and some even started crying.
Although I didn't cry as exaggeratedly as I did at a funeral, it was still not nice 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 fallen ill and passed away, 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 outward sadness, there was a cold aura.
Moreover, whenever his eyes fell on her, she 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 knew about Liu's actions.
Come to think of it, the powerful secret medicine in Liu's hands was most likely obtained through Xia Youcai's connections. Xia Youcai must have had a hand in this as well!
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 it wasn't this girl who did it?
As soon as Xia Youcai heard the news from Xia Yougui, he knew that Liu had probably taken the secret medicine he had found by mistake.
After chatting with Xia Yougui for a while, I got 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 also gave a bowl to each of the sisters-in-law.
