Chapter 24: Too Brutal
Zhou Sisi looked at the warm title deed in her hand. She just needed to go to the town to get it stamped tomorrow. This would count as her buying a house and land in this dynasty.
She had already decided what to plant in the field near the back mountain. Planting medicinal herbs was only part of the goal; planting watermelons was her ultimate goal.
Wandering around Sishui town these days, she had discovered that everything was sold in this era, except for almost no fruit, and if there was any, it was at most melons.
She has such an amazing magical spring. If she grows fruit here, she will be able to become rich in no time.
She doesn't have other fruit seeds yet, so she'll try planting some watermelons and carrots first. When she goes to the town to get the stamp tomorrow, she'll go to the white-bearded old man's pharmacy to see if there are any other seeds.
What she didn't know was that when she stepped out of the pharmacy with the silver note, Ding Dali immediately sent a pigeon message to tell her how difficult it was for him and how he spent 20,000 taels of silver to find a thousand-year-old ginseng. He even shed tears of excitement when he talked about it.
It was impossible for him to cry. The tear stain was just created by him deliberately smearing it with salt water.
This shows how difficult it is to find this ginseng. Maybe that gentleman will be so happy that he will give him more silver!
I am so happy to exchange eight thousand taels for twenty thousand taels. It would be strange if I could cry. Even if I cry, it will be from a smile.
In the evening, the second daughter and the youngest daughter of Zhou Wenmu's family in Qingshan Village came back with their eldest sister. Zhou Zhaodi's leg was bitten off by a wild boar.
The other two people were also injured. Finally, the wild boar was scared away after hearing the wolf's howling, and Zhou Zhaodi survived.
The people in the village were frightened when they suddenly saw three people covered in blood. When they saw clearly that they were the three daughters of Zhou Wenmu, they quickly ran over to report the news.
"Oh my God! How could this person be alive after being bitten like this?" An aunt exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth.
"Liu Cuilan must have known that Sisi had dug up ginseng in the back hill and was jealous! She asked her own daughters to go digging as well, and all three of them went. Bah! They are obsessed with money!" An old lady hit the nail on the head and told the truth almost exactly.
"Sisi, you learned this from the one-eyed hunter before, have you forgotten? That one-eyed hunter came from the battlefield, he must have real skills!"
"Sisi must have learned a lot of real skills. How can these girls compare to her?"
"You really value money over life. Now that my leg is bitten off, I won't be able to find a husband in the future!"
The people in the village were talking to each other, and when the village chief came and saw this scene, his lips trembled with fear.
Miserable! It was really too tragic. The Zhou family's eldest daughter's leg bones were exposed. This leg could not be saved.
Why did you go to the mountain? Now it's over! Let's see who dares to go there next time.
When you see others taking advantage of you and your own teeth are growing faster, you always think you are lucky. Now you know how powerful it is. Let’s see who would rather have money than life.
"Ah! My Zhaodi! What happened to you!" Zhou Cuilan almost fainted when she saw the looks of her three daughters.
He bit his tongue hard to stay awake, then threw himself on his eldest daughter and started howling.
Zhou Wenmu also stood behind her, his face also full of fear. It was over now. His eldest daughter's legs could not be saved. The bones were exposed, and she would definitely not be able to find a husband in the future.
"What are you still crying about? Hurry up and hitch a cart and send her to the town clinic!" The headman's voice was about to split his legs. This family only knew how to cry. Can't they see that their daughter is still bleeding?
You're all standing here like a piece of wood, waiting for your child to die before you can feel at ease, right?
Zhou Wenmu seemed to have finally come to his senses and followed the headman to the home of Chen Erzhuzi, the only person in the village who had an ox cart.
Soon an ox cart was borrowed, and Chen Erzhu drove the cart himself. The onlookers hurriedly carried the unconscious Zhou Zhaodi up. Zhou Wenmu followed the ox cart and took the village head to Sishui Town.
"Laidi, tell mom what's going on with you guys!" Zhou Cuilan then remembered to ask her daughter.
"Mom, we encountered a wild boar. My younger sister discovered it. When the wild boar rushed over, my elder sister was squatting on the ground looking for ginseng. We were too far away from her and didn't have time to call her before she was knocked down by the wild boar!"
“Woo, woo, woo! We were far away at the time, so we quickly climbed up a tree and escaped!”
"Finally, we heard the howling of wolves and the wild boars left. Only then did we dare to come down to look for our eldest sister. Woo woo woo! I was so scared!"
"My eldest sister was covered in blood and had fainted. We had to drag her back with branches. Woohoo, mother! I never want to go up the mountain again!"
Zhou Laidi cried and told the whole story. Zhou Pandi was trembling all over. She was young and was frightened out of her wits.
When the villagers who were watching heard that Zhou Sisi had dug up ginseng in the back mountain, they all wanted to go and see for themselves, hoping that they could dig up ginseng too.
Now it’s good, there are both wild boars and wolves, what’s the point of going there! Who would complain about having a long life?
Everyone started to back off. Compared to money, their own lives were more important.
When they heard that the three sisters of the Zhou family were driven up the mountain by Liu Cuilan, they all looked down on Liu Cuilan. What kind of person is she! She didn't go herself but let her three daughters go. She was really reckless.
"It's all that little bitch Zhou Sisi's fault. If she hadn't dug up ginseng, I wouldn't have been so anxious to urge you to go up the mountain!"
"I'll go find her and I'll have to pay her!"
Liu Cuilan hit him hard and ran back immediately.
The two daughters quickly followed, holding hands, and other villagers who wanted to watch the fun also followed.
There weren't many entertainment activities in ancient times, so it's a waste not to go here if you want to have fun!
"Song Dahua, don't you want to go and take a look? Your husband is not here, so your words are the most effective here, why don't you go?"
"I'm not going! Sisi is not someone who can be easily bullied. I'm not worried about her."
"I still have to go back and give my grandchildren a bath, so I'll leave now!"
Song Dahahua thought about the pastries that Zhou Sisi sent to her family, and thought to herself that she would not go, so she asked Sisi to give Liu Cuilan a good beating.
He did the evil himself and blamed it on Sisi. He behaved himself after being beaten.
As expected, good things don't work, but bad things do. When Liu Cuilan was kicked over by Zhou Sisi, Song Dahahua was already at home distributing the cakes that Zhou Sisi had sent in the afternoon to her grandchildren.
The villagers of Qingshan Village knew that Zhou Sisi had always been tough, but they didn't expect that now that her parents were gone, she would become even more brutal.
Without saying a word, he kicked him, as if even if the Jade Emperor came, the man would have to crawl out today.
Liu Cuilan lay on the ground, trembling with pain, and she had to swallow the blood in her mouth with great difficulty.
