Shen Yuehua couldn't help but lose her temper at Su Yunhai.
"Lao Su, you are so irresponsible. How could you let your daughter go to the mountains alone? Don't you know how dangerous the mountains are?"
"If anything happens to my daughter, I will sacrifice you to the gods!"
"It's been so long, why hasn't my daughter come back yet? What are you still doing here? Go find my daughter!"
Shen Yuehua’s voice was not small.
Many villagers heard it.
Everyone has received a lot of protection from the Su family in the past two days, and they cannot feel at ease without giving anything in return.
Some people who had recovered a little gathered around in twos and threes and asked worriedly.
"Su Xiucai, how about we go in and look for her together? It's already this late, and we can't see anything clearly in the mountains. What if that girl gets lost?"
"That's right, Brother Hai, how can you let that girl go into the deep mountains and forests alone?"
...
...
"Stop talking, let's go in and look for it."
As everyone was talking, Shen Shuli's petite figure rushed out from the woods.
Su Yunhai ignored these people and stared at the pitch-black jungle.
As soon as Shen Shuli appeared, he bounced out like a ball.
"Girl, you're back!"
Su Yunhai's heart finally settled down. He took a deep breath and looked his daughter up and down to see if she was safe and sound.
"I'm back, Dad. I found a place suitable for everyone to rest." Shen Shuli saw that her father was very worried and said quickly.
"Well, well done! The food is ready at home, go and eat something to recover." Su Yunhai urged.
When Shen Yuehua saw her daughter coming back, she walked up to her quickly and looked at her daughter inconspicuously.
Seeing that she was not injured, he glared at his daughter fiercely, then pulled her towards his own motorcade.
Seeing that her father-in-law and mother-in-law were there, Li Jiao'e immediately went over to show her courtesy. She quickly served a bowl of stewed dried meat porridge and handed it over.
"Little sister, you've gone to the mountains alone to find a place for us to rest, regardless of your reputation. You must be starving. I've been warming up the porridge for you. Come eat it."
Su Changan glared at his wife with dissatisfaction, then pulled her aside and whispered to her.
"Why are you being so attentive to her? You can tell from the first glance that she is a scheming person. She is doing all this just to attract all of our attention. She is just a vain person with a lot of ulterior motives."
He has been pulling the cart all day and is now almost dead from exhaustion.
If I hadn't fled from famine, it wouldn't have been so hard.
He hasn't worked so hard in almost ten years, ever since his father started forcing him to study for the imperial examinations.
All these years his hands have been used for writing.
In just one day, both of his hands were worn out and bloody from pulling the ox cart. It was all caused by this woman.
Seeing that her husband was so dissatisfied with his sister-in-law, Li Jiao'e curled the corners of her mouth unconsciously.
Since my sister-in-law came home, the conflicts in the family have become more intense.
In the past, my father-in-law and his three brothers got along quite harmoniously.
As the eldest daughter-in-law and sister-in-law of the second wife, she has a good status in the family. Her mother-in-law will tell her about any good things at home and even give her some good things.
This time when the sister-in-law came back, she must have brought a lot of good things, but she didn't give any to her, the eldest sister-in-law.
She had inquired about it, and found out that her sister-in-law had given each of the two girls in the third room a big gift!
But she, as a sister-in-law, has nothing!
Isn't this looking down on her?
She really couldn't understand it. When Wanwan was at home, her mother-in-law was very nice to Wanwan, but not so nice that she would completely listen to her.
But what about this sister-in-law? She was raised by someone else’s family since she was a child and has only been back for a day or two.
The mother and daughter were as close as if they had been together for more than ten years, and she couldn't even get a word in.
Not to mention taking advantage!
Also, looking at the entire village, besides my sister-in-law, who else participated in killing the bandits?
Her parents-in-law actually treated such a cruel and ruthless woman as a pain in the ass.
I really don’t know what they are thinking!
Su Changan was still saying bad things about Shen Shuli. The more he said, the happier Li Jiao'e became, and she even made a few derogatory remarks in secret.
Both Shen Shuli and Su Yunhai understood the hidden meaning of Li Jiao'e's words.
This is a satire on Shen Shuli, who is wandering alone in the mountains regardless of her innocence. She might be trying to hook up with a man!
But when the couple saw that the villagers had not yet reacted, they did not want to make a big deal out of it and divert the villagers' attention to that issue.
I can only suppress my temper temporarily.
Shen Shuli looked at Li Jiao'e with a half-smile and did not take the bowl of rice.
If someone with ill intentions towards her handed her food, she wouldn't dare drink it!
Shen Shuli drank a cup of her daily spiritual spring water while no one was around.
Most of the day's fatigue was eliminated.
"I've rewarded you, drink it yourself." After saying that, Shen Shuli left without paying any attention to Li Jiao'e's ugly expression.
The villagers knew that this was not a suitable place for rest, so they packed up their pots and pans early and waited to continue their journey.
Shen Shuli finished eating quickly and led the way for everyone.
The torches prepared in advance have been lit.
It illuminates a small area of world for the villagers.
After another quarter of an hour of difficult walking, they finally arrived at the place chosen by Shen Shuli.
This area is relatively flat.
But there are still many trees as thick as arms growing on the ground, and fortunately these trees are widely spaced.
After a little cleaning, you can lie down on the floor and rest.
It is now the end of the hour of Hai, a little after eleven at night.
It was long past the usual sleeping time for the villagers here.
Without being urged, everyone quickly cleaned the ground and made beds on the floor to rest.
The carriage that Su Yunhai bought specially could barely accommodate the four women and one child in the family.
Su Yunhai and his three sons slept on the floor outside.
Spread the oilcloth on the ground, put a mattress on it and you can sleep.
Those who don’t have oilcloth mattresses can simply make do with some hay cut nearby.
The drought lasted for eight or nine months without any rain.
The temperature is not low late at night, and you won’t feel cold even if you don’t cover yourself with a blanket.
The only thing that is unbearable is probably the harassment from all kinds of mosquitoes in the mountains.
In the silent forest, the sky is dotted with stars.
From time to time you can hear the sound of slapping mosquitoes.
Doctor Zhang from Taohua Village brought a lot of medicinal herbs. These were his means of making a living, and nothing could be missing except herbs.
In particular, I brought the most commonly used mosquito repellent herbs and realgar powder.
When he saw business coming, he immediately started shouting.
"A pack of mosquito repellent costs five cents. If you have children or the elderly at home, you can buy some to avoid mosquito bites. It can also prevent rats, insects, snakes and ants from getting close to you, so you can sleep peacefully."
“The price is not expensive, the quantity is large and affordable, the quantity is small, first come first served~”
In the quiet night, although Doctor Zhang's voice was soft, people who were not asleep yet could hear it clearly.
"If you don't have much money, you can also exchange it with various materials."
As soon as Dr. Zhang finished speaking, someone ran over to buy it almost instantly.
"Doctor Zhang, please give me two packets quickly. My child and I are almost bitten to death."
"Give me a pack to try first, if it works well I'll buy it for the whole family."
"I don't have much silver, so I'll trade you some wild vegetables."
"I'll trade you three pounds of potatoes for one."
Shen Shuli was also annoyed by the harassment of mosquitoes.
She has been using spiritual spring water every day recently, and her blood and flesh are purer and sweeter than those of ordinary people.
The disadvantage is that it is particularly attractive to mosquitoes, rats and ants.
Especially mosquitoes, they love her blood the most.
Not only Shen Shuli was harassed by mosquitoes.
Su Yunhai and Shen Yuehua were the beneficiaries of the spiritual spring every day and were also targeted by mosquitoes.
After the whole family noticed this scene, they all moved away from the three people.
In order to avoid being bitten by mosquitoes, Zhang Lanhua, who was originally in the same car with Shen Shuli, had to get out and hide.
Shen Shuli had no choice but to get off the carriage and let it go.
Otherwise, would she let Zhang Lanhua, a pregnant woman, go outside?
