The fool could understand what she meant, that is, it might be better for her to wait for Cheng Feng to come back than to marry someone. In her situation, she couldn't marry a good man, so it would be better to wait for Cheng Feng to come back.

The fool hasn't thought about these things deeply, and she feels that it's not that time yet.

Yuhua hadn't stayed in the fool's house for ten minutes when her mother-in-law Yuhua's voice sounded outside: "Yuhua, come home quickly. Why do you dare to go to any house? You are not afraid of bad luck."

Even though Fool and Yuhua are neighbors, Yuhua's mother-in-law wouldn't let Yuhua play with her when Cheng Feng didn't go in. Cheng Feng, who was in prison, Yuhua's mother-in-law, looked at Yuhua even more seriously. It seemed like Yuhua will learn to be bad if she is with a fool.

Yuhua said very apologetically: "Sorry fool, my mother-in-law just has a bad mouth, but she actually has a good heart."

The fool forced a smile and said, "It's okay, just go back quickly."

As soon as Yuhua left, the fool locked the door, and then she was cooking and wrapping melon seeds alone in the house. She, who was usually very quick with her hands and feet, had no strength left to do the job. She felt that she had been very tired and sleepy recently, and she was halfway through the work. She couldn't open her eyes, so she had no choice but to lie on the bed and sleep.

Early the next morning, if Uncle Chen hadn't called him outside, he would have overslept. When she heard Uncle Chen's voice, she quickly got up, put on her clothes and ran out.

Uncle Chen saw the fool and said, "Girl, if you are tired, just rest at home for a few days. I haven't seen you look very good lately."

The fool smiled and said: "I slept a little late yesterday. It's okay. I can go out to the stall every day when it's cold. It's getting warmer day by day. I must go out to the stall."

Uncle Chen had no choice but to help the fool load his things into the car, and then headed into the city.

After going to bed so early at night, the fool still sat on the bench and took a nap when the sun was at its highest. The fool thought that this was because he was sleepy in spring, autumn and summer. Sleepiness is a normal phenomenon.

For several days in a row, the fool was woken up by Uncle Chen outside the gate. Uncle Chen said to the fool: "Idiot, I see that you have been confused all day. If you can't do it, just rest for a few days. Money is not earned in a day. Let's give it a try first." Take a break by yourself.”

The fool smiled and said, "I'm really fine. I have a good appetite every day. I haven't missed a meal."

Idiot hasn't been eating very well recently. He always goes out without eating in the morning, has a meal at noon, and goes home to eat in the evening. In the past, with Cheng Feng helping her look after the stalls, she could safely find a restaurant to sit down and have some food. Now she was alone, and there was no one to look after the pile of things for her. She just bought a steamed bun on the street every day. Deal with a mouthful.

She guessed that Uncle Chen's bad look on her face might have something to do with not eating well recently. She thought that she would have to eat well in the future. If she was really sick, there wouldn't even be anyone to take care of her.

She observes the hairy tofu she made every day. Today is the eighth day. As she expected, a thick layer of long white hair has grown. She makes these hairy tofu into fermented bean curd and stinky tofu and then makes a jar. A jar was packed and she was going to sell it in a few days.

Seeing that the hairy tofu was very successful, she bought a lot of tofu and came back to make hairy tofu the next day. Uncle Chen felt relieved when he saw that the fool was full of energy every day.

A few days later, the fool really made the fermented bean curd. She took a piece of it for herself when she was eating. While she was eating, Yuhua knocked on the door. When the fool saw it was Yuhua, he smiled: "Yuhua, I I’m eating right now, would you like to eat some too?”

Yuhua smiled and said, "I just finished eating, but I came just in time. I brought you some dried fish, but it's time to eat."

As soon as Yuhua entered the house, Fool smelled a fishy smell. She thought she smelled it wrong. When Yuhua took out the dried fish, Fool rushed outside the house, squatted in the yard and vomited.

Yuhua saw the fool who couldn't stop vomiting and hurried into the room to bring her a glass of water.

Yuhua said to Fool along the back: "Fool, don't you eat fish?"

The fool said with a pale face: "Eat, but I don't know why, I smell fishy today and I want to vomit."

Yuhua looked at Fool and said, "Fool, you can't be pregnant at this time, right?"

The fool Baji suddenly sat on the ground. She thought to herself, it can't be so small. Not long after they got married, her husband was imprisoned and she got pregnant again. Did she do something wrong in her previous life?

Her mind was in confusion. Yuhua helped her up and said, "It's okay, not necessarily. I just said casually, let's go into the house first."

The idiot calmed down, nodded and followed Yuhua into the house. Yuhua looked at the idiot with a bad expression and said, "You should find a doctor tomorrow to check it out. I think you may have eaten something wrong."

Yuhua felt that what she just said scared the fool. She had just been married and had no experience in pregnancy, so she just made a suspicion and guessed. She thought it would be safer for the fool to go see the doctor.

The fool nodded.

Yuhua said to the fool: "Have you heard?"

The fool looked at Yuhua and said, "What did you hear? Who was it about?"

Yuhua whispered: "Juanzi's brother is dead."

The fool didn't expect that what Yuhua said would be like this. She had never met Juanzi's brother. She only knew that he was not a good person. She asked Yuhua: "How did he die? He was beaten to death by debt collectors." ?"

The fool didn't know how much money he owed to others. He probably owed Cheng Feng so much money that it would be difficult to settle it.

Yuhua said: "He was killed. Have you forgotten? The money he owed basically came from underground banks. Wasn't it paid back by your family Cheng Feng?"

The fool was frightened now, and her already pale face turned even paler. She couldn't bear to hear the two murderers: "Who killed him?"

Yuhua shook his head and said, "I don't know. He has so many enemies. Everyone said that he was killed by someone seeking revenge and then thrown into the woods. I heard that this person had been dead for a long time, and his body was smelly when he was found." He is dead, in a woods next to the road we take to the city. He may have been dead for some time, but his family said he has not been home for several months."

The fool suddenly became so stiff that he couldn't move. It couldn't be such a coincidence. The person Cheng Feng killed must be Juanzi's brother.

Yuhua saw that the fool's face was getting worse and worse, and she said, "Fool, are you okay? I shouldn't have said it. Cheng Feng isn't at home and you won't be scared to sleep if I tell you this."

The fool said nervously: "I'm just a little timid, and I will be a little scared when I hear this kind of thing, but it's okay, I'll be fine in a while."

Yuhua said a little worriedly: "Can you do it alone? I have to go back first, otherwise my mother-in-law will have to call me again."

The fool nodded and said, "I can do it. You can take the dried fish back. I probably can't eat this."

Although Yuhua was a little worried about Fool, she still had to leave because her mother-in-law had told her several times that she came here to see Fool. No matter how kind her mother-in-law was to her, she would educate her. She was still a little afraid of her mother-in-law.

Halfway through the fool's meal, she no longer had any sense of taste. The face of the man who was killed by Cheng Feng that day kept appearing in her mind. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that this man was Juanzi's brother, because this man had a sharp mouth and a monkey's cheeks. She really does look a bit like Juanzi's mother.

If it was really a person, it would be okay if he was discovered now. The snow on the ground has melted away. After so many days of decomposition, no other traces should be found on his body. It would be safer if it was discovered later. , but as long as this person is not buried, she will be on tenterhooks.

She didn't eat or clean up the meal. She climbed directly into bed and got into bed. She didn't dare to recall what happened that day. When she thought about what happened that day, she broke out in sweat and her hands trembled unconsciously. I don't know when she fell asleep that night.

The next morning, the fool was waiting for Uncle Chen outside the gate, but Uncle Chen did not drive the carriage out. He walked out wearing his own coat. He said to the fool, "Fool, you have to take a day off today, Juan." Zi’s brother is dead, and everyone has to help with the burial today, and I have to go too.”

The fool nodded and said, "Oh, I heard Yuhua said yesterday that they will be buried today, or not for a few days?" She remembered that there was this custom in the countryside. After death, people would be buried in the yard for a few days and then buried. .

Uncle Chen sighed and said, "We can't let him go. The body stinks. Besides, he died a violent death, so we can't let him go."

The fool thought for a while and said, "Do you know who did it?" This was the question that the fool was most concerned about. She was afraid that everyone would find some clues on the body of Juanzi brother, and then start a series of conjectures and reasoning, then Trouble.

Uncle Chen took a puff from his big pipe and said, "He has done a lot of bad things over the years, and he has offended a lot of people. He may have been killed by an enemy out of revenge. I don't know how long he has been dead. How can I know who did it?" Yeah, death is in vain."

When the fool heard what Uncle Chen said, she felt relieved. As long as no one doubted Cheng Feng, all the truth would be covered up as soon as this man was buried. She said to Uncle Chen, "Then I will go back first." , I just have a day off."

Then the fool went home. It was not very bright yet, so she went back and slept for a while.

She was not idle at home either. She sorted out all the drawings she had drawn during this period. She planned to go to Butler Liu in the next few days and ask him to help introduce their master.

In the evening, she took some of the bean curd and stinky tofu she had made and went to Uncle Chen's house in the front yard. She stood outside the yard and shouted: "Aunt Chen."

After a while, Aunt Chen came out. Aunt Chen handed the fermented bean curd and stinky tofu to Aunt Chen: "Aunt, these are the fermented bean curd and stinky tofu I made a few days ago. I have just eaten them in the past two days. I will give them to you." Bring some here for you to try."

Aunt Chen said: "I have never seen anything like this before. It tastes delicious just by looking at it. Come in and cook it for a while. Your uncle is also at home."

The fool just wanted to find out from Uncle Chen about the burial of Juanzi's brother, and wanted to know if there was any incident, so he followed Aunt Chen into the house.
