Chapter 287



Su Wan gave the hairpins to the Jinhuan sisters. The sisters were so happy to see the beautiful hairpins that they thanked Su Wan several times.

Su Wan had something on her mind, so she sat for a while and then went back.

The next day, Su Wan did not return to the city. She thought that when people who went to work or school, or visited relatives, should have almost all left, she walked towards the old Su's house leisurely.

She was worried that if He Ailian heard her voice in the house, she might not open the door for her. Unexpectedly, before she got close to her, she saw He Ailian coming out with a basin of sewage in her hand.

After she finished pouring the water, she saw Su Wan, but it was too late for her to pretend she hadn't seen her.

"Aunt, come out and get some water?"

"Well, what are you doing?"

"I'm just taking a walk. I ate too much this morning, so I came out to digest the food."

After saying that, he looked at He Ailian's face with pretended concern, "Aunt, I feel like the bruise on your eye seems to have gone down a bit, not as severe as yesterday."

Su Wan was actually telling lies, and there was actually no difference from yesterday.

"real?"

He Ailian took it seriously. She was very happy to hear that the bruise on her eye had gotten lighter.

She was too embarrassed to go to work in this state, fearing that people would say something after seeing her. She was just waiting for the bruise on her eye to heal quickly so that she could go and earn work points.

For pregnant women in the village, the captain would arrange some easy work for them. Such good benefits can only be enjoyed when you are pregnant. If you don't make good use of it, it will be wasted.

"Aunt, I have a good recipe for removing bruises. Come on, I'll go in and teach you."

Su Wan said this affectionately as she took He Ailian's arm and walked towards the yard.

He Ailian originally didn't want to let Su Wan in. She was always on guard against her, always afraid that if she accidentally revealed something wrong and was caught by her, she would be in trouble.

But when she heard Su Wan say that she had a good prescription for dispersing blood stasis, He Ailian no longer cared so much.

When they got into the house, Su Wan asked her to take out an egg.

When He Ailian heard that she had to take out an egg, she immediately knew what the recipe was.

She had heard that boiled eggs can reduce swelling and relieve blood stasis, but she had never used it before and didn't know how effective it was.

She was afraid that if it didn't work, she would waste her eggs in vain, so even though she knew it, she didn't want to give it a try.

So many days have passed now, if it wanted to break up, it would have broken up long ago without an egg. It's not something that an egg can solve.

She originally had high hopes for Su Wan's recipe, and thought she was going to help with massage or had some exclusive secret recipe.

The result is this...

So He Ailian told Su Wan somewhat disappointedly that her family had no eggs left.

It wasn't like Su Wan was really here to treat her dark circles, so without her, she would be less worried. Anyway, she had already come in, so He Ailian wouldn't chase her away.

So she sat there pretending to chat with He Ailian, talking about this and that for a while, and then started to get to the point.

She first looked across to Cao Xiaohua's house and asked, "Second Aunt, did Third Aunt go to visit relatives today?"

He Ailian didn't want to talk to Su Wan anymore, but she couldn't ask her to leave, so she had to respond perfunctorily.

When He Ailian heard Su Wan suddenly ask about Cao Xiaohua, she immediately stopped being perfunctory as before.

"Your third aunt, you don't know, didn't she go to work?"

Su Wan didn't expect her to answer. "Yesterday, I heard Yinhuan say that she and her mother were going to her mother's house to return the donkey skin. What do you think Third Auntie is going to do by borrowing a donkey skin from her mother's house?"

He Ailian's eyebrows jumped involuntarily, and then she pretended not to understand.

"What a fool! Why haven't you heard of that? That girl Yinhuan likes to talk nonsense sometimes. Just don't believe her."

Su Wan pretended to be surprised when she heard this and said, "Second Aunt, you live next door to Third Aunt, and you didn't even know that she borrowed a donkey skin from her parents' home. Yinhuan didn't lie. I saw that donkey skin yesterday. It was hanging in the bedroom where Third Aunt lives. It's a good one."

Now He Ailian didn't know what to say. She was so angry that she cursed all of Cao Xiaohua's ancestors in her heart.

This woman, why didn't she send that broken donkey skin away immediately after scaring her? She even let this dead girl see it. Isn't this just asking for trouble?

On second thought, it was just a donkey skin. Cao Xiaohua would definitely not tell her the purpose of borrowing the donkey skin. She could just make up something and send her away. Could she really infer that he pushed her off the cliff based on a donkey skin?

Impossible. Absolutely impossible.

Thinking of this, He Ailian's expression relaxed a little.

"You don't know that. I haven't been to the room where she lives recently. If there's anything, just stand here and shout, and your aunt will hear it. So there's no need for you to keep going to her house."

"That's such a pity, Second Aunt, you don't know, that donkey skin looks a little strange, Third Aunt for some reason tied ropes on both sides of the donkey skin, just like the buttons on our clothes, in pairs."

As Su Wan spoke, she observed the expression on He Ailian's face, and sure enough, the muscles at the corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily a few times.

Then he explained: "You think too much. Maybe the two sisters, Jinhuan and Yinhuan, tied themselves together for fun."

Su Wan smiled and continued to follow the script she had designed.

"Aunt, you don't know, when I was looking at those rows of knots, I was thinking, if a woman with long hair put that donkey skin on her body at night and messed up her hair, what do you think it would look like?"

He Ailian's lips trembled twice and she didn't answer.

The more she listened, the more she felt that this girl seemed to be deliberately hinting at something.

Did she already know who pushed her off the mountain that day?

Or did she hear other people spreading rumors about her and come here on purpose to provoke her?

He Ailian couldn't guess Su Wan's thoughts for a while, so she could only put her heart first and move forward cautiously. She had to think over every word she said to make sure there were no loopholes.

Seeing that she hadn't said anything for a long time, Su Wan didn't have the patience to wait any longer, so she continued, "Second Aunt, do you think that's very similar to the wild man that was rumored a while ago? So you think there's no such thing as a bullshit wild man?"

He Ailian got anxious when she heard this, and quickly argued, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be false? You know your aunt is not a person who would lie. I saw it with my own eyes, not to mention that it grabbed me and ran for a long distance, so it must be true."

"According to what you said, auntie, the savages must be right, right?"

He Ailian nodded quickly, "Of course there is, I guarantee it."

Su Wan nodded, "No wonder my mother-in-law said that the day before yesterday, in the middle of the night, she was sleeping soundly, and suddenly she heard someone howling outside, shouting that there were wild men and they should come and catch them. She was almost scared to death. Could it be that the wild men really came down the mountain?"
