Ding Zhaodi immediately denied it, "No, no, I just saw that you looked tired after working all afternoon, and I was just worried about you!"
"I just wanted to cook you a dish..."
She was about to continue speaking when the old lady nodded as if she understood, "Oh, I see!"
Ding Zhaodi was stunned.
She had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but she didn't have time to think about it at this critical moment. She quickly nodded and agreed, and reiterated her "sincere" feelings!
"Yes, yes, that's exactly why I feel sorry for you!"
The old lady was just waiting for her to say that.
With a smile, he said, "In that case, let's add another half month for cooking!"
Ding Zhaodi?
The old lady said, "Didn't you say you wanted to help me because you see how hard this old woman works? Okay, you can start cooking for me from tomorrow!"
"No need for much, just half a month will do!"
"Although my wife isn't in good health, she should be fine after resting for about half a month!"
Ding Zhaodi…
What happened to the wooden stick she often used to hit Xie Shuyan?
Quick, bring it to her!
She wanted to beat that old hag to death!
This is absolutely outrageous!
However, no matter how angry Ding Zhaodi was, she could only hold back because she still needed to ask the Tian family for help!
But she still clung to a sliver of hope, "Then, does that mean I won't have to pay money?"
The old lady was shrewd and decisive, "Pay up!"
Ding Zhaodi…
The old lady didn't waste time arguing with her and continued to explain.
"The remaining four ounces are to help your man detoxify!"
"If you want my help, bring your man to my house, I'll treat him, and then you can bring him back!"
"Otherwise, you'll have to think of another way!"
Finally, she added, "Don't blame me for not warning you, your man's poison is very dangerous. If it can't be cured tonight..."
"Then you can collect his body tomorrow!"
Even though Ding Zhaodi was previously filled with resentment and anger, upon hearing that they were "collecting her husband's body"...
She immediately chickened out!
He clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth as he agreed!
The old lady wasn't going to play games with her; she insisted on payment before getting help!
What else could Ding Zhaodi do?
She could only go back and carry her husband on her back while taking out 10 taels of silver from the bottom of her trunk.
But when giving it to the old lady, she squeezed it again and again!
So reluctant to leave!
The villagers present.
The villagers, who initially thought the old lady's price was a bit too high, were surprised to learn that they would also receive a share of the cost for the dishes…
Okay, I think it's not expensive at all!
That's Ding Zhaodi.
If they remember correctly, Ding Zhaodi was a notoriously lazy woman in the village, but look at her, she can actually carry Xie Daniu on her back.
Xie Daniu's life should be saved.
But what about Xie Erniu and Xie Sanniu?
The two sisters-in-law from the Xie family were afraid of being beaten if they came to the Tian family's house, so they didn't dare to come at first. But just now they saw Ding Zhaodi carrying Xie Daniu away...
They asked her what to do about Erniu and Sanniu, but she didn't give them an answer.
The two sisters-in-law started to panic!
As the night grew deeper,
The two sisters-in-law thought they should go out and look for Erniu and Sanniu again.
But then I thought about it again.
When they returned from the Tian family and discovered that Erniu and Sanniu were missing, they had already checked the wells at both ends of the village.
There was no trace of Erniu and Sanniu.
They probably went up the mountain like Wang Tieniu and Dazhuang did last time, right?
There are wolves on the mountain...
They absolutely dare not go!
Therefore, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to the Tian family to ask the village chief for help!
The Tian family.
Grandma Tian carried Guoguo back into the house to treat Xie Daniu's poisoning. Tian Lao Er and his brothers originally wanted to invite the villagers to continue drinking...
However, no one was in the mood anymore.
Wang Youcai and Yang Qiuci were also there. Many villagers asked them worriedly, "Is there another evil spirit in our village?"
If they are pregnant again, what should they do?
What could Wang Youcai and Yang Qiuci do?
Both of them looked at the village chief.
The village chief also looked worried. He wanted to check on Wang Youcai and Yang Qiuci, but they were the first to look at him!
Then he could only turn his head.
Trying to see General Cui…
Before he even saw General Cui, Xie's two sisters-in-law ran in from outside the door.
The two women truly deserve to be Ding Zhaodi's sisters-in-law.
The number of times she fell after entering the room and the opening line she uttered while crying were exactly the same as Ding Zhaodi's!
The villagers present couldn't help but twitch their lips in disbelief!
The two sisters-in-law were eventually thrown to their knees and knelt down, desperately kowtowing to the village chief for help.
The village chief also roughly guessed that Xie Erniu and Xie Sanniu had gone up the mountain.
But the danger of going up the mountain last time was still fresh in my mind, and the Xie family's reputation in Qingshan Village wasn't good either!
He's afraid even the villagers won't go!
Fortunately, General Cui was there, and he wanted to ask General Cui if he had any ideas, but before he could ask, General Cui suddenly spoke.
"Bring it over!"
General Cui spoke to the guard beside him, who immediately ran to the door.
In just a short while.
The guard who had just run out returned with three other guards.
And in front of these three guards were people being held captive!
Needless to say, it was Zhao Bing, Xie Erniu, and Xie Sanniu.
The two sisters-in-law burst into tears the moment they saw their husbands, and they both scrambled to their feet to take them away!
General Cui spoke at the opportune moment.
"They've all been poisoned. If they aren't given an antidote, even if you take them back, they probably won't live much longer!"
The two sisters-in-law immediately wilted!
However, they soon remembered Xie Daniu, who had been carried away by Ding Zhaodi.
Ding Zhaodi carried Xie Daniu to the Tian family's house.
Remembering how Tian Yifan was cured by Tian Guoguo last time, they immediately wanted to call out to Tian Guoguo.
General Cui spoke first, "You want to save them?"
The two were slightly taken aback.
Everyone assumed that General Cui asked this question because he had a way to detoxify him.
The two sisters-in-law, in perfect unison, immediately knelt before General Cui.
General Cui didn't want to listen to their nonsense, so he imitated Old Lady Tian and said concisely, "Ten taels of silver!"
These words caused a collective sigh among the villagers present.
General Cui didn't have the patience of Old Lady Tian to explain things to them. No matter what the two sisters-in-law said, he ignored them.
The two sisters-in-law begged and pleaded to pretend to be poor...
None of it worked!
In the end, they had no choice but to obediently go home and get their money!
The Xie family did not split up, but the old man and woman of the Xie family had passed away, and all the family's money was in the hands of Ding Zhaodi, the eldest sister-in-law.
Both sisters-in-law knew Ding Zhaodi to some extent.
They went home and searched Ding Zhaodi's room thoroughly, and soon found the most precious thing in the bottom of the drawer!
But isn't the amount of money a bit off?
They remembered that after the village chief led people to sell wolf meat last time, their family received more than 20 taels of silver. How come they only have a dozen taels left?
Never mind, we can discuss this later.
They need to use the money to save their own men first.
The two sisters-in-law took the money back and gave it to General Cui. General Cui then took it inside to give to Guo Guo. After Guo Guo agreed, he had his guards carry the person inside.
As for the two sisters-in-law…
The two of them have no sense of propriety whatsoever, not even as good as Ding Zhaodi!
Just wait outside!
The next step was to interrogate Zhao Bing.
General Cui didn't waste words with Zhao Bing and directly ordered his personal guards to bring Zhao Bing's family over. If Zhao Bing didn't tell the truth...
Okay, then let's beat up his family.
Keep hitting him until he says it.
When Zhao Bing's youngest son heard that he was going to be beaten, he was so frightened that he immediately started crying. The other members of the Zhao family were also frightened and shouted for him to speak quickly.
