Chapter 88 She Deserves to Be Worried to Death
Mrs. Zhou was just quick-witted and was just complaining.
"I know. I only told this to our family. I didn't tell anyone else. Forget it, forget it. Let's just make tofu. That idiot of the eldest brother's wife deserves to be driven crazy."
Lin Shiqi asked about harvesting beans again.
Mrs. Zhou said to her, "We have harvested a lot of beans. We can exchange beans for our tofu, or we can directly sell them for two cents per pound. The villagers who grow beans at home come to sell them to us. We have harvested several thousand pounds, and there are people coming to sell beans every day..."
"That's good." It saved Lin Shiqi and the others the trouble of dragging it back from the county town.
Too heavy.
They now use more than a thousand kilograms of beans every day.
Lin Shiqi packed the moldy tofu into boxes and told Mrs. Zhou, "Mother, don't move these boxes of tofu. Wait 15 days before opening them."
Mrs. Zhou readily agreed, "Leave it to me! I guarantee that not even a mosquito can fly in."
"Believe me, mother."

Longquan Academy.
In the dormitory, Zhou Qinan was lying in the corner.
Now the lights are off and silence has returned.
Just before, the people in the dormitory were surrounding him, comforting him in various ways.
Of course, there were also people who stared at him warily and said bad things about him behind his back.
Generally speaking, he is very popular, and most people comfort him and believe in him.
He always faced it calmly.
After the lights were turned off and everyone had gone to rest, he lay alone on the kang.
He closed his eyes and thought, who on earth reported him?
Or, how was he exposed?
The details are exactly the same...
How did those hooligans stop Dr. Gong from robbing him, and even said that he was colluding with the hooligans...
He thought of the mysterious masked man that night...
The mysterious man who took advantage of the chaos to rob the gangsters of their money!
Very skillful.
Come and go without a trace.
But the government said that the person who reported him was an old man with a hunchback.
It was said that he took other people's money and delivered letters of denunciation on their behalf.
…
He had been following Doctor Gong and his apprentice to the edge of a cliff, and using his familiarity with the terrain to push the two men off the cliff.
At that time, there was no big commotion.
It went very smoothly.
Everything is as planned.
I didn't notice anyone around. It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Who would appear in the mountains at what time?
If there is really solid evidence, it would be impossible to just write a letter of complaint and get away with it.
Where exactly did he go wrong?
Is someone secretly following and monitoring him?
From now on, I have to be more careful.
Take the next spring examination first, and then try other things after you pass the examination and become a scholar.

Besides, the Zhou family.
It's late at night and everyone is asleep.
From the main room, the sound of Wang's low sobbing could be heard.
Her eyelids were swollen from crying.
Boss Zhou also tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"Don't cry, our Dalang is fine. Didn't the officials release him? There is no evidence, it's just a false accusation, and the person who made the false accusation can't even see the light of day. It has nothing to do with our Dalang. If you want to blame someone, blame him for being so outstanding."
Wang cried, "False accusations also ruin his reputation. You don't know how quickly rumors spread these days. I'm worried that it will affect his future imperial examinations. If he passes, people will use this to slander him. Wouldn't that ruin his future?"
Boss Zhou is a man after all, and he has more knowledge.
"No, as long as he passes the exam to become a scholar, no one will dare to spread the news. A scholar is a scholar recognized by the court. How could he be a murderer? Anyone who falsely accuses a scholar will be arrested and imprisoned..."
"What if our Dalang fails the exam next year?" Wang asked again.
This question stumped Boss Zhou, as he had never thought about this question.
"How is that possible? Impossible! Have you forgotten? Last time you went to the temple to draw a fortune, and the fortune said that our Zhou family will have a scholar next year..."
Wang suddenly felt relieved.
She wiped away her tears and said, "Yes, the Kitchen God Temple is very effective."
***
In the second room.
Zhou Laoer and his wife were in endless anxiety and repeated entanglements.
They didn't care whether Zhou Dalang was a murderer or not, but their focus was that the official in the yamen said that Doctor Gong was a fraud who had cheated people everywhere before and came to Longquan Town to cheat people as well.
"Boss, no wonder I haven't gotten pregnant yet, is it because the magic pill is fake?" Ruan said this and quickly refuted herself, "No, how could it be fake? Didn't my fourth brother get cured?"
Zhou Laoer nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, my fourth brother was truly cured. Doctor Gong's magic pills can't be fake!"
"There must be some misunderstanding, and they are framing Divine Doctor Gong!"
"But why haven't we gotten pregnant yet?"
"Maybe she's still recovering from the disease, and the medicine hasn't taken full effect yet. Once the recovery is complete, she'll be able to get pregnant."
"Well, if I don't get pregnant this year, I will definitely give birth to a big fat boy next year."
The two of them comforted themselves endlessly.
***
In the third room.
Mrs. Liu was busy making tofu in the kitchen, and Zhou Laosan was supposed to be in the house taking care of the two children to sleep.
After returning to the house, Liu did not see Zhou Laosan.
I only saw the two little ones sleeping. They were as dirty as two cats. They hadn’t even taken off their outer clothes and were just stuffed into the bedding.
Liu frowned.
Zhou Laosan sneaked back from outside.
He smelled of alcohol.
He stuttered, "I found out that those hooligans really saw our Qinan, which means Qinan really killed someone! Doctor Gong was an old liar. Qinan killed him to steal the silver he cheated. The more than 30 taels of silver notes were stolen, but Qinan escaped punishment. So many people gave false testimony for him. My nephew is not simple..."
Liu thought he was talking nonsense. "Every time you get drunk, you talk nonsense. Be careful when dad gets up. I will punish you according to the family rules and break your legs! Let's see if you can keep talking nonsense!"
Zhou Laosan was drunk. "Would I be afraid of that old man beating me? Can he beat me? I am Zhou Laosan. There is no one I am afraid of in this world. I am not drunk. If I have no money, I can still drink..."
As he said this, he pushed Liu away.
So he went to look for where Liu had hidden his money.
Seeing this, Liu said, "Boss, what do you want to do? Didn't I give you a hundred dollars a few days ago?"
Zhou Laosan punched Liu in the face, "Stop talking nonsense. If you don't give me the money you earn, who do you want to give it to? You get paid every day, and you get paid as a manager. The fourth daughter-in-law doesn't treat you badly. I'm telling you, if you dare to hide a penny, I'll beat you to death!"
This punch knocked Liu to the ground.
Liu's head hit the ground with a bang, and her head was full of white light.
I was dizzy for a while before I woke up.
