Cao Xiaohua smiled but said nothing. Her sister-in-law was really calculating.
Don't think she doesn't know how much a donkey skin can be sold for. She's not that stupid if you want to fool her.
That night, Cao Xiaohua slightly modified the donkey skin without damaging it.
Then she tried it on, untied her hair and ruffled it, looking at the wild girl in the mirror, she couldn't help laughing.
You know what, it really does have a bit of wild flavor.
If she appeared in front of He Ailian at night with her hair disheveled and wearing this donkey skin, I wonder how she would react. She would definitely scream.
If I interrogate her further, she will probably confess what happened that night.
That night, Cao Xiaohua lay in bed, listening to what was happening outside. She must have been too tired from traveling during the day, and she fell asleep soon.
It was already dawn when she blinked. Cao Xiaohua slapped herself on the face in frustration, remembering that she hadn't done anything important.
We agreed to return the donkey skin after a week. Isn't this just a waste of a day?
Cao Xiaohua got up from the bed and thought while cooking, trying to find a foolproof solution. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with any idea.
When she came back from work in the evening, she learned from her husband that the village had sent two people to the neighboring county to learn pig-raising techniques. Their team leader saw that her family had become rich by raising pigs, so he came back and applied to the township leaders to open a pig farm in the village. Unexpectedly, the higher-ups actually approved it.
Their village would raise a few pigs every year and slaughter them for meat during the Chinese New Year. Su Weidong had been in charge of raising pigs for a period of time before and had some experience in raising pigs, so the captain arranged for him to go there to learn together with another person who was raising pigs in the village. It was estimated that he would be back in a few days.
After hearing this, Cao Xiaohua immediately became excited. Since Su Weidong was not at home, it would be much easier to deal with He Ailian.
"Wei Min, I have figured out how to make He Ailian tell the truth. But you have to help me bear witness, in case she denies it later."
Su Weimin didn't expect that his wife hadn't let it go yet. He thought that such a long time had passed and Cao Xiaohua's injury had healed, so she should not care about that matter anymore.
Although he had doubted the authenticity of the rumor, without evidence, words alone would not work. Now that Cao Xiaohua had come up with this idea, he thought it would be worth a try.
Regardless of whether it was He Ailian who pushed it or not, as long as it is clarified, it will save Cao Xiaohua from being suspicious about this matter, and it will also clear He Ailian's name.
So he casually asked, "What can we do?"
Cao Xiaohua leaned over and whispered her thoughts to him. After listening for a long time, Su Weimin nodded.
"But we are a family. If He Ailian insists on saying that we framed her, we won't be able to explain ourselves, and she might even bite us back.
Cao Xiaohua thought this made sense, frowned, thought for a long time, and asked, "Then what do you say we should do?"
Su Weimin suddenly stood up and said, "I'll go talk to my mother and ask her to be a witness. This way, He Ailian won't be able to deny it even if she wants to."
"What? You still want to find the old lady. If she goes and tells He Ailian about it, then there will be no point for us to perform here."
"Don't worry, mother will definitely not do that. Didn't you see that she has been shouting for He Ailian to get rid of the baby in her belly?
I believe she must also want to know whether He Ailian is pregnant with our Su family's child, so she will definitely not tell He Ailian. "
Seeing that what the man said made sense, Cao Xiaohua remained silent, which was considered as tacit agreement.
Then, while He Ailian was cooking, she quietly ran to the toilet and hid her family's urine bucket.
The Su family lived in the front row. The families living in the front row liked to build their toilets on the curb opposite. This way, they would not take up the yard and prevent the bad smell from affecting the air in the yard. So the Su family did the same and built their toilet on the front row.
Before dark, when He Ailian went to the toilet to get the urine bucket, she couldn't find it. She walked around the toilet several times, searching every corner inside and outside, but she couldn't find the urine bucket. She thought someone had stolen her urine bucket, so she stood on the road and cursed a few times.
"...Even the urine bucket was stolen. There was no bowl to eat at home, and no bucket to store water. Otherwise, I would steal it and use it as a medicine jar..."
It's not a valuable thing, so it's fine if I throw it away. The key point is that if I want to pee at night, it will be a bit troublesome.
At the moment supplies were scarce and the things in the house were barely enough, so there was nothing that could replace the urine bucket.
I can only hold on for two days, and when I have time I will go to the supply and marketing cooperative and buy another one.
The pregnant woman always felt like peeing, and they had only porridge for dinner, so He Ailian went to the toilet twice before going to bed, wanting to urinate completely and not go to the toilet again in the middle of the night.
Who would have thought that things would not go as planned. In the middle of the night, she was woken up by the urge to pee.
There was no moon in the sky anymore, and it was pitch black. She was a little hesitant to go out.
But if I don't pee out, it will be very uncomfortable and I can't even sleep.
The two sisters, Xiao Mi and Xiao Mi, slept in another room. Only Xiao Mi, who was a little older, still slept with her.
I wanted to wake up Xiao Mi and go to the toilet with her, but I was afraid of disturbing the other people in the yard.
Everything else is easy to talk about, but if you quarrel with that damn old woman, she will definitely scold you again.
I hesitated for a long time, and the urge to urinate became stronger and stronger. My lower abdomen was uncomfortable and I had to urinate.
She had no choice but to get up from the bed, put on her shoes, walked to the door, opened it, and a chill immediately hit her.
He Ailian shrank her body and looked up at the sky. There were still a few stars in the sky. It was not too dark, at least she could see the road clearly.
However, it would be great to have a flashlight at this moment.
The Su family actually had a flashlight. When they were at home, there was only one, so it was kept by Old Man Su and Old Lady Su. Anyone in the family could take it if they needed it.
But it was the middle of the night now, and she couldn't just go to the bathroom and knock on the doors of those two old guys to borrow a flashlight. She wasn't ready to give up.
You should hurry up and go to sleep after peeing.
He Ailian took a deep breath, then walked towards the door reluctantly.
