Even though he was extremely disappointed with Wang Dujuan, he couldn't help feeling bitter when he heard her casually say something like selling herself.
"I see."
The weather was hot and Wang Dujuan had no appetite. There was a small vendor selling jelly on his shoulder pole, but she only paid for two portions out of the four people in her family, one for herself and the other for Yang Dali and Old Lady Yang to share.
The old lady in the room heard that Yang Chunxiao had no food to eat tonight, so she gave her the half bowl.
Yang Chunxiao refused. She was used to being hungry anyway and wouldn't die from starvation if she skipped a meal. The old lady was always sick and in pain, and her body couldn't stand not eating.
How could Yang Dali feel full after a tiring day of work if he only ate this? But Wang Dujuan was a bit aggressive so he didn't dare to say anything. He secretly went to the kitchen to find some dry steamed buns and washed them down with cold water.
The moon was above the branches, and the chirping of insects in the grass became louder. Yang Chunxiao held his breath and concentrated, waiting until everyone in the house fell asleep before he set off for Zhaojiazhuang according to the time.
Her heart was beating particularly fast along the way. Whether she could change the situation depended on tonight.
On the other side, Yang Donghu was lying on the bed with his eyes open. He couldn't sleep at all because there were too many things on his mind.
Seeing that it was almost the second watch, he quietly took away Zhao Luochuan's hand that was pressing on him, touched the edge of the bed, tiptoed over Zhao Luochuan and climbed out of bed.
He was extremely careful throughout the whole process and didn't make any sound. It wasn't that he was deliberately trying to hide it. There was always danger in this matter, and with Zhao Luochuan's temper, he would definitely not let him put himself in danger.
When his stubborn temper came out, Yang Donghu was not sure he could convince him, so he simply kept it from him to save himself the trouble.
The wooden door in the yard creaked open. Outside the house, Yang Chunxiao was feeling depressed because she didn't find anything under the stone. The sudden voice scared her. When she saw that it was Yang Donghu, the sadness on her face turned into joy.
"You're still willing."
She was wearing thin clothes, and the night wind was a bit chilly. Yang Donghu led her to the door and said, "You have to tell me first, what do you want the money for?"
"To buy poison."
"Poison? You wouldn't be..."
Yang Chunxiao shook his head: "No, we have to catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. We can't just say she poisoned me, but we have to provide evidence. I was the one who bought all the medicine for grandma. Many people in the village saw it. Wang Dujuan said a lot of favorable things to herself in order to improve her reputation. If the poison was found on her, it would be more credible and would ruin her reputation."
"Are you sure?" Yang Donghu said after pondering for a moment.
"We have to have it even if we don't have it. We only have this one chance."
Whether he could get his grandmother out depended on this time. Yang Donghu no longer hesitated and took out a tael of loose silver from his pocket. This was the money he earned himself. Since this matter was kept secret from Zhao Luochuan, Yang Donghu didn't want to touch his money.
"Is this enough?"
"Enough, enough." Yang Chunxiao nodded repeatedly.
The two men were so serious in their discussion that they didn't notice someone quietly falling behind them. The voice was as cold as ice, which made them shudder.
"What are you doing!?"
