Guo was waiting by the river.
Tian Guoguo and her brothers were also by the river, catching fish.
Since Tian Yihong was too physically unable to go into the water, he stayed on the shore to watch over his sister, while Tian Yixuan and Tian Yifan went into the river to catch her.
The stream is a flowing river.
The water is only knee-deep between here and the other side, so there's no danger, but there are also no fish.
Tian Yifan and Tian Yixuan ran around the river several times but couldn't catch a single fish.
The two finally saw the truth...
There are really no fish in this river!
They started moving the stones at the bottom of the water and changed their method to catching crabs.
Believe it or not, although there are no fish in the river, there are indeed crabs.
They soon found a crab under a large rock, and the crab was quite heavy.
This immediately gave them motivation.
They began their frantic search for crabs.
Before long, Tian Yifan caught another one, and Tian Guoguo and Tian Yihong on the shore clapped and gave their brother a thumbs up.
Tian Yixuan also wants a thumbs up.
He also tried his best to grasp it.
Soon, he also grabbed something fleshy under a rock, picked it up by its leg, and shouted.
"I'll catch it too..."
He froze halfway through his sentence.
It wasn't that I was scared, but rather disgusted!
That's right, what he caught wasn't a crab at all, but a giant toad!
This made Tian Guoguo extremely happy.
She covered her mouth with her two little paws, laughing so hard she was panting!
Tian Yixuan's face turned bright red as she looked up at the toad in her hand...
Then the toad started croaking in perfect unison.
Tian Yixuan…
He threw it away with disdain.
He really knows how to throw things; by sheer coincidence, he threw it right on Guo's head.
Then, Guo let out a loud yell, followed by a torrent of abuse…
"Damn it, who the hell threw a toad on someone's head? Who, who was it?"
Tian Guoguo and others...
The four of them looked at each other...
Tian Yifan reacted quickly, immediately pulling Tian Yixuan ashore and snatching his younger sister from his brother's arms, urging them to run.
There were only a few of them by the river...
If they don't run away, they'll probably be beaten by the Guo family very soon!
Tian Yihong and Tian Yixuan were almost catching up. They ran quite fast, but Guo's reaction was just as quick!
Seeing them run away, even if Guo was stupid, she understood what was going on. She cursed and ran after them.
But they encountered Ding Zhaodi halfway there.
She seemed to only then remember her real purpose for leaving home, and angrily cursed the Tian family boys a few more times before following Ding Zhaodi away.
Ding Zhaodi also went back to change her clothes.
Coincidentally, she changed into the very dress that Guo had stuffed with the drug.
This made Guo secretly even happier.
But she couldn't say anything. She followed Ding Zhaodi to the riverbank, deliberately trying to find a topic to talk about Xie Shuyan as they walked.
"Sister-in-law, I heard that Shuyan earned 2,000 taels of silver last time..."
Is this really true?
A month has passed, and Guo had already secretly found out the truth long ago. Ding Zhaodi was well aware of this as well.
She had felt that Guo was acting strangely since this morning, but since she wanted to keep things mysterious, she, as the elder sister-in-law, would play along.
She wanted to see what the Guo family was really up to!
Therefore, he nodded in agreement.
Guo continued, "I also heard that it was temporarily kept by General Cui. Is that true?"
Ding Zhaodi nodded again, "Mm."
Guo said, "Oh dear, sister-in-law, this money belongs to Shuyan, so it belongs to your family. How can you leave it with someone else's family!"
"Sister-in-law, please don't blame me for saying this!"
"You're really too carefree."
“Even though we’ve separated, we’re still sisters-in-law. Take my advice and tell Shuyan to get the money back!”
"We only feel at ease when the money is in our own hands!"
As they were talking, Ding Zhaodi had already arrived at the riverbank.
Bending down to fetch a bucket of water, Ding Zhaodi finally understood.
Guo is after her family's money.
She didn't give Guo a friendly look either, spitting at her with disgust, "Pah, shut your stinking mouth!"
"Do you need to worry about my family's money?"
"Get out of my way, don't keep me from getting to work!"
Ever since Qian Bao dug up the remains of several children in the South Well, people have been drinking water either from the North Well or by the river.
Beijing is too far!
Ding Zhaodi then came to the riverbank.
However, the Tian family still had several water vats, and she needed to continue fetching more.
I don't have time to waste words with the Guo family!
He picked up the bucket and started walking back.
She didn't notice that Guo had just spilled something into her bucket.
Meanwhile, on the Tian family's side...
Tian Guoguo and the others finally stopped running when they reached their doorstep.
Just as Tian Yixuan was about to catch his breath, he suddenly felt that the bucket he was using to hold the crabs seemed to have gotten heavier.
Looking down at me...
Suddenly, a crab appeared in the wooden bucket that originally contained only a few crabs…
fish?
Moreover, it was a carp weighing about three pounds!
Tian Yixuan was stunned for a moment.
Tian Yihong and Tian Yifan were laughing and joking about the toad on Guo's head, and how satisfying it was to see her so angry.
Tian Yihong then jokingly added to Tian Yixuan's comment, "Yixuan, your aim is pretty good. You should take the martial arts exam to become the champion!"
Tian Yifan laughed and agreed, "I think so!"
In normal circumstances...
Tian Yixuan would usually brag to them, but why is he silent today?
The two looked at Tian Yixuan.
Tian Yixuan was still looking at the fish in the bucket when the other two looked over. Then, all three brothers were stunned.
They didn't catch any fish, so where did this come from?
Tian Guoguo laughed out loud at the right moment, tugging at her brothers' arms with her little paws, "Fish, fish for dinner..."
The little guy was incredibly calm.
The three brothers all looked at their sister, slightly taken aback.
Then, as if they understood something.
Tian Yifan picked up his sister again, and Tian Yixuan picked up the bucket. Without saying a word, they quickly ran into the yard.
Coincidentally, Ding Zhaodi also returned.
She poured the water she had brought back into the water tank, and when she saw that the tank was only half full, her old face involuntarily fell down as she walked out.
Let's get back to work!
Tian Yixuan and his friends were overjoyed.
Find a large wooden bucket, scoop some water in, and give the big carp a new living environment to prevent it from being pinched by crabs!
Then he called out to his grandmother, "Grandma, we caught a big fish! Let's eat fish!"
Unfortunately, the old lady was busy in the kitchen and couldn't hear their shouts.
As evening approached, villagers began to arrive, bringing tables, chairs, and benches to set up the banquet.
To avoid disturbing them, the four little ones carried the fish and crabs to a more distant place.
Originally, they planned to continue watching...
But it had just been moved over.
Tian Yixuan then noticed that the carp, which had been jumping around just moments before, had turned belly up.
He thought he had been too careless in carrying it and was so anxious that he kept blaming himself.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault!"
Tian Yifan, Tian Yihong, and Tian Guoguo all felt that something was wrong.
Tian Guoguo hurriedly called out to her third brother, telling him to be quiet, and asked her eldest brother to go back inside and tell their grandmother not to use the water outside.
Tian Yifan went immediately.
Tian Yixuan was still quite confused and was about to ask his sister what she was doing.
Then someone came in from outside.
Dr. Shi.
When Tian Laosan and Lao Er went to the city to sell pig offal in the afternoon, the old lady told them to invite Doctor Shi to the banquet as well.
General Cui and Su Shangheng were also invited.
However, they are still busy and have not arrived yet.
When Tian Guoguo saw Doctor Shi arrive, she called him over to come and take a look at the fish.
Because she spoke slowly, she asked her second brother to tell Doctor Shi about the process of the big carp turning belly up.
Upon hearing this, Doctor Shi immediately took out a silver needle from his sleeve to test the water in the wooden bucket and water vat.
