Zhang Qiaonv sighed and said with feigned doubt, "Actually, there's something I also find strange. Sister Liu wasn't like this before, but ever since she fell into the water last time, she's been like she's been possessed by something!"
Zhu Dongxi interrupted her, "In my opinion, it's not possession. The kind and understanding Aunt Liu from before clearly died long ago when she drowned herself..."
She paused deliberately at this point.
Everyone in the room waited for her to continue, and countless eyes were fixed on Zhu Dongxi.
"And the Liu Yingying you see now is actually just a ghost who has been resurrected from the river!"
"Hiss!" The Liu family members gasped almost simultaneously.
In fact, they had this suspicion in their hearts for a long time.
If it weren't for reincarnation, how could a person change so drastically?
"What should we do? If she really is a vengeful ghost coming to claim our lives, she definitely won't let us go!"
Zhou instinctively gripped her husband's arm tightly, her face filled with terror.
What are you afraid of?
“She’s in Peach Blossom Village. Even if someone suffers, it will be the people in our village who will suffer first. To be honest, almost everyone in our village has been bewitched by her. If this continues, I’m afraid it will cause a major disaster sooner or later!”
Zhu Dongxi spoke with righteous indignation.
Zhang Qiaonv then said, "Actually, I do have a way to get rid of this scourge!"
"What method?" the Liu family members asked in unison.
"I've heard there's a powerful master in Qiushui Town who has helped many people deal with this kind of thing. If we ask him to take action, we're sure to get rid of this scourge!"
"This..." The Liu family members had different expressions for a moment.
What they were thinking was, what if Liu Yingying really was a vengeful ghost?
As long as they get rid of her, they, as her family, can rightfully take the money in her hands!
Recently, Liu Yingying's candy business has been booming.
The Dragon and Phoenix Theater has a large customer flow and high demand.
The villagers were practically digging three feet into the ground to search for wild melons.
But winter melons are rare and hard to come by; there are only so many wild ones.
After extensive harvesting, it's now very difficult to find wild winter melons in the mountains.
Zhao Di glanced at the remaining winter melons in the cellar and said to Liu Yingying with some worry, "Liu Niang, we're almost out of raw materials. What will we use to deliver the goods to the Longfeng Theater?"
This is indeed a problem, after all, they have a long-term contract with Dragon Phoenix Theater!
Liu Yingying stroked her chin with her fingers and quickly came up with an idea.
"That's not a difficult problem. After all, winter melon is a very common vegetable. Since there aren't any wild ones, we can just go to the market to buy some!"
"However, this increases our costs..."
Actually, solving the cost problem isn't difficult; she recently discovered an interesting phenomenon.
The sweet potato vines that were planted earlier have grown very lushly in just half a month.
This morning she dug up one and found that a sweet potato vine the size of a fist had already formed underneath.
This growth rate is several times faster than the normal cultivation rate.
Following this pattern, the sweet potatoes will be ready to be harvested within a month.
She could easily do the same and plant winter melons, pumpkins... or even any kind of fruit and vegetable that can be grown!
She can not only make candied winter melon, but also other kinds of products to sell together...
With all the wild winter melons in the mountains picked, the villagers had no income and could only sit and wait for their resources to run out.
Liu Yingying had also specifically contacted the Longfeng Theater.
They said they needed to develop more types of pastries, which would take some time, so they suspended the supply of candied winter melon to Bai Mudan for a while.
Perhaps because she had been too busy these past few days and hadn't had a proper rest, Liu Yingying has now fallen ill after finishing her work.
Early in the morning, Lin Cuicui had already arrived, but she hadn't gotten up yet.
When the two children went into the room, they found that she was delirious with fever.
"Liu Niang! Liu Niang, don't scare me..." Zhao Di's voice trembled slightly as she held Liu Yingying's hand tightly.
But at this moment, Liu Yingying, who was lying on the bed, was completely unconscious.
Lin Cuicui, on the other hand, was much calmer. "Zhaodi, Aunt Liu clearly has a fever. We need to go and get a doctor right away!"
"Yes! Call a doctor! I have money..." Zhao Di wiped away her tears in a panic. "Cuicui, you look after Liu Niang for me, I'll go find a doctor right now."
These days, Liu Yingying has been giving the children their wages.
After more than half a month, Zhao Di had saved up several dozen coins, enough to hire a barefoot doctor in the countryside...
However, there is no doctor in Taoyuan Village, so we need to go to the neighboring Majiazhuang.
There was an old doctor there; villagers would often ask him for a prescription for a cold or flu...
But when the villagers saw Zhao Di leading Doctor Ma home, they all started gossiping...
"Did something happen to Sister Liu's family? Why did they suddenly call a doctor?"
"Oh! I noticed that Zhao Di's eyes are red. I'm afraid something happened to Sister Liu?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Sister Liu usually seems very energetic. She could easily smash Chen San Gou's head by herself. You think she'd be sick? I don't believe it!"
Believe it or not! Even Zhang Fei and Li Kui can get sick!
When Liu Yingying fell ill, some were happy while others were sad.
What worries me is that she might not be able to lead everyone to make money anymore.
The good news is, she's got what she deserves!
Human nature is always like this: a small favor is appreciated, but a large one breeds resentment!
Even though Liu Yingying helped them make money, they were still envious that Liu Yingying earned more than them...
Deep down, some people have long wished to see her suffer!
To find out what was going on, the villagers all gathered in the scholar's courtyard.
Ma Qiumei and her daughter Zhang Qiaonv were also mingling in the crowd. When they saw that Zhao Di had brought Doctor Ma, they gave Ma Qiumei a meaningful smile...
A sinister glint flashed in Ma Qiumei's eyes.
Inside the room, Zhao Di and her two siblings, along with Lin Cuicui, anxiously stood guard by Liu Yingying's bedside.
"Doctor, how is my Lady Liu?"
Dr. Ma frowned slightly; "She's overworked and hasn't rested well, which has led to her catching a cold!"
"What..." Upon hearing this, Zhao Di's face turned deathly pale.
Her own mother died of a cold after giving birth to her younger brother!
"Doctor, will my Liu Niang die?" Zhu Jiafu asked, somewhat bewildered.
"This..." Doctor Ma stroked his beard, feigning worry.
Zhao Di immediately got up, ran to her room, took out all the money she had saved up over the past few days from under the bed, and handed it to Doctor Ma.
"Dr. Ma, please, you must save my Liu Niang!"
Doctor Ma weighed the money in his hand, a greedy glint in his eyes.
I had heard that Liu Yingying had recently made a lot of money selling candy. Sure enough, even the little yellow-haired girl in the family spent a full sixty coins!
His consultation fee for treating patients rarely exceeded ten coins...
