Liu Cuiying turned around suddenly and said casually, "I'm going to find the two dollars."
"Take your things and don't come back after you've found them."
"Ah, this?"
Liu Cuiying didn't want to leave because she hadn't given the poison to Fang Suyun yet.
Then she turned back and said, "Suyun, Suyun, I can't leave. If I leave, I'll have nowhere to stay."
"But you said you'd stay one night and leave. Otherwise, we wouldn't have kept you. You agreed yesterday, there's no reason to change your mind today."
"Suyun, I really can't leave. Please have mercy and let me stay here."
She was anxious to find medicine and to persuade Fang Suyun to let her stay. In desperation, she actually knelt down to Fang Suyun.
"My daughter, please just pity me. I really have nowhere else to go. I can't help it."
Fang Suyun quickly helped her up, "Mom, what are you doing? You're trying to shorten my lifespan. Let me tell you, I'm determined. Even if you kneel down, I won't let you stay."
The old lady was so sure yesterday that she would leave the next day, why did she change her mind? Perhaps she hadn't achieved her goal yet.
"Suyun, my dear daughter, please take me in for one more day, just one day. I will leave immediately tomorrow."
"Another day, who knows if you'll still stay tomorrow?"
"No, no, I promise to leave." She found the medicine during the day, gave Fang Suyun the medicine, and left tomorrow and never came back.
Fang Suyun pretended to think for a moment, then said, "Then stay for another day. If you don't leave tomorrow, we'll kick you out."
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely leave tomorrow. You don't have to chase me away."
She left after she had finished speaking.
Xu Zhenqing listened to their conversation from inside the room. He came out and said to Fang Suyun, "Did you find anything yesterday? She suddenly didn't leave again. Did she fail to achieve her goal?"
"I think so. She only went to the bathroom last night and didn't do anything else. She said she lost her money and went out to find it."
They checked the yard and the house but found nothing suspicious.
Xu Zhenqing stared at Liu Cuiying's bag. "Although I know it's wrong to look through other people's things, Liu Cuiying is not a good person. I think we should check her things."
"Okay, let's take a look. You can't use conventional methods against someone like him."
Xu Zhenqing smiled. Fang Suyun became increasingly cold and sober towards Liu Cuiying.
They opened Liu Cuiying's bag and found some food, clothes, and some money, but nothing else suspicious.
After checking, they wrapped Liu Cuiying up according to the way the bundle was brought.
Fang Suyun didn't cook for Liu Cuiying. After they finished eating, she locked the door and went in. Who cared whether Liu Cuiying would come back or not? When would she come back?
Liu Cuiying searched all the places she had visited yesterday, but did not find the packet of medicine powder. She thought she had not looked carefully enough, so she searched again, but still found nothing.
When she was so hungry that she felt dizzy and wanted to go back to the cowshed to eat, she found that the door of the cowshed was locked and she couldn't get in at all.
She looked at the top of the wall, which was about one person tall, but not high enough for her to climb over, so she had to give up.
Tired and hungry, she originally wanted to sit at the door and wait for Fang Suyun and the others to come back, but when she thought about her unfinished mission and the fact that she had not found the medicine yet, she stood up and went back to look for the medicine.
Xu Nuannuan was grazing sheep in the field when she saw Liu Cuiying looking for something. This was the third time she had seen Liu Cuiying looking for something that day, and she seemed very anxious.
She suddenly ran up to Liu Cuiying and said, "Old woman, what are you looking for? Let me help you find it."
Liu Cuiying subconsciously wanted to blurt out: "I'll look for it." But when she looked up and found that it was Xu Nuannuan, she quickly swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"I need change. I lost two dollars yesterday and I need it back."
"You always love money, old woman. It's only two dollars, isn't it worth all this trouble?"
"Two dollars isn't enough? It's enough for me to eat for a few days. How can I not change it?"
Then she went to look somewhere else.
Tuanzi had already told Xu Nuannuan everything Liu Cuiying did last night. Xu Nuannuan pouted and asked, "Really, is it the change for the two dollars?"
She said to Tuanzi, "Why don't you follow him and look around to see if you can find anything special? After all, your nose is sharper than hers, so it should be much better than hers."
"Okay, I'll look for it too." Then he spread out his four paws and ran away.
Fang Suyun and Xu Zhenqing also saw Liu Cuiying looking for something in the field. Fang Suyun said, "Is she still looking for those two dollars?"
"She's always been very greedy, but for these two dollars, she's willing to put in the effort."
Tuanzi quickly walked around and came to tell Xu Nuannuan: "I didn't find anything."
Xu Nuannuan touched her nose. It seemed that the things the old woman had lost had been picked up by someone.
Lin Ruyan also saw Liu Cuiying in the field. She originally wanted to hear the news that someone had died in the cowshed, but early in the morning, she saw Fang Suyun was safe and sound, so she must have thought that Liu Cuiying had lost.
She hated Liu Cuiying for being a waste and it was a shame for her to have such a grandmother.
Liu Cuiying searched until noon. She even turned over the grass by the roadside, but she couldn't find any trace of the medicine bag, not even a piece of it.
She guessed that the package of medicine must have been picked up by someone else.
It was filled with poison, so I wasn't worried that someone would die if they accidentally took it, since it had nothing to do with him anyway. She was worried about her own loss. Without the powder, how could she poison Fang Suyun?
I can only ask Guan Yurong for another one.
She went back to her hometown to rest for a while, and then called Guan Yurong in the afternoon to ask her to mail another package of medicine to her.
He returned to the cowshed dejectedly. Fang Suyun had already prepared lunch. She, Xu Zhenqing and Mo Wuwei were eating. She still hadn't cooked for Liu Cuiying.
Liu Cuiying saw that there were only three bowls of rice on the dining table. She looked into the pot and found that there was no rice left.
When he came back, he questioned Fang Suyun, "You didn't even cook for me."
Fang Suyun replied, "You only said you wanted to live here, not eat here. Besides, we only have rations for three people here, and we can't make enough for you."
She felt that her heart had become as hard as iron. She could actually say these words to Liu Cuiying without any guilt or burden.
