Wang Cuihua, who was under the bed, shrank back in fear after hearing their conversation. Her words made it clear that it was Lu Zhaodi's idea. This old woman was so scheming. She came to his house calling for debts, probably because she wanted them to bury her child with her!
Wang Cuihua felt that the two voices were somewhat familiar. Wang Goudan often played cards outside, so maybe he was really looking for him to collect a debt. She had never thought that one day she would suffer such a crime because of him. If she survived, she would definitely drive them out of the village!
Seeing that these words had already caused her to misunderstand, Tian Xiaolan said no more. She lifted the mattress and found the envelope she had seen before. She had not seen the account book before. She guessed that Wang Long had given it to someone he trusted. Could it be with Wang Cuihua?
Tian Xiaolan's eyes were lost in thought. Xing Yifei sat by the bed, waiting for her next move. Tian Xiaolan thought for a few minutes. Wang Cuihua, who was still under the bed, thought that the two hadn't noticed her. Suddenly, she heard the younger brother's rough voice: "Brother, where is the girl we heard the sound from before? This room is so small, did she grow wings and fly away?"
"Don't worry, I've closed the door. She can't get away!"
The two of them sang the same tune, which made Wang Cui's heart flutter. If she fell into their hands, she would rather die.
"Okay, I'll go look around, and you stay here and see if she's hiding in some corner."
"Yes."
Wang Cuihua overheard their conversation and heard the sound of someone leaving. She didn't dare to block their way. They had bricks in their hands, and if she left, she would be discovered. How could she possibly defeat them? She held her breath, trying not to make a sound. The dust from the ground entered her nose, making it itchy. She covered her nose, holding back tears that flowed uncontrollably.
Xing Yifei opened the cabinet and looked at the mess of junk inside. He dug a few times with the stick in his hand and found nothing that looked like an account book. He casually put the stick under his feet.
Suddenly, there was a "bang" in front of her. Wang Cuihua looked at the stick so close to her. She didn't dare to think about how painful it would be if it hit her. If she grabbed it now, she might still survive. She hesitated whether to take a gamble.
The room was silent. Outside, Tian Xiaolan was still searching for Wang Long's hidden things. Since she was here, she decided to plunder more of his ill-gotten gains.
The room was pitch black at night, the curtains tightly drawn, not letting in a single ray of light. Wang Cuihua was extremely hesitant, knowing that if the person outside couldn't find her, they would definitely come in and continue searching, and she would be found just as well then. She might as well give it a try.
Thinking of this, Wang Cuihua arched her body, ready to strike, and suddenly grabbed the stick outside, pulling it towards her with all her strength, hoping to get the stick in her hand so that she could have a weapon. Seeing that she couldn't pull it, she picked up a bowl from under the bed and threw it at the person outside. Even if she missed, the people around would hear the sound and realize that something was wrong at her house and come to see.
Xing Yifei had already heard Wang Cuihua's movements. He gripped the stick tightly, keeping it motionless. He caught the bowl with his foot, preventing it from falling to the ground.
Wang Cuihua saw that she couldn't snatch it away, so she crawled out from under the bed. Her hair was messy and stuck to her face, like a Sadako, as if she was going to take someone's life. As soon as Tian Xiaolan came in, she saw Wang Cuihua like this.
